It's A WRAP! In one exuberant cheer, Student Council President Tim Clancy and the entire student body wrap up the wild, Huskie spirit.

A mass of bare legs, new textbooks, clean folders and faces, filled with anguish, jubilation and worry, entered the building. Students' minds were not quite adjusted to the hallways and books. Part of them was still playing frisbee on the beach and listening to jazz or Bruce Springsteen on a warm summer's night. Others were reliving their vacations or the trials, tribu- lations and successes of a summer job. But they were ready - uncertain, but ready - for another semester of homework, club meetings, music practice and parties. The production of a new year had begun. The photographers stood to the side, inconspicuously recording the event. Beside them, writers scribbled furiously in their notebooks. An unrehearsed extravaganza, chronicilling the l985-'86 school year, was be- ing composed by the students, teachers, staff, board members and administrators. On a warm, sunny spring afternoon, Wind 'Ensemble director Steve Denny conducts the band for the Memorial Day assembly. The sun rises behind the school and long shadows lay early morning patterns on the tennis courts as two students make their way to school on a Monday moming.

As one would end, another day would arrive, bringing with it new events to be chroni- cled. Some days it seemed as though the year would never end: another test taken, another essay assigned, another grade earned. But then an unleashed spirit, running free in the halls, would touch students. School spirit reached ev- eryone, more than ever before. l-luslcie power rose to a new height and students swam in a sea of orange and blue clothing every Friday. At the all-school assembly, unified spirit was wrapped up in one load cheer: HO-A-K P-A-R-K! Oak Park! Oak Park! Yeah! The filming has begun! Flanked by city-wide televi- sion crews, Newscene cameraman senior lohn Toppen helped capture the moment of Adlai Slevensons an- nouncement of his candidacy for governor.

For freshmen, the year was full of long, confusing hallways, new friends and locker lights. Sophomores, able to drive and no longer mere freshmen enjoyed this slightly elevated position. luniors revelled in their position of upperclassmen, only begin- ning to think about the worries of postgra- duation plans. For seniors, the year was a wrap-up, a completion of four years of hard work. For each student, there had never before been a year like it. Yes, the year was unique. Special events, like a 4551 ranked tennis team and the announcement by Adlai Stevenson of his candidacy for governor, were saved forever, written down and wrapped up in the pages of a yearbook. And so the year progressed with cheers and struggles and tests and victories, until one day we stopped and noticed that it was l une. With the referees by their sides, seniors Dave lohn- son C4455 and Perry lohnson C3373 stride out to meet the Hinsdale Central captains. The Huskies won this game and went on to win the West Suburban Conference Crown. Qpening Kathy McNelis I' Orange and blue is popping up all over.

The students' bare legs were covered with long white dresses and dark suits as they filed down the long path to the stage. On the side- lines, the photographers continued to snap and the writers continued to scribble. The last sen- ior received his diploma. The final word was spoken, confetti flew through the air and the story was concluded. lt was time for the actors - the students, teachers, staff, administrators and board mem- bers - to relax and reflect on the days chroni- cled in the pages. '!It's a wrap! the director proclaimed. The year is complete! After being crowned Homecoming Queen, senior Kelly Schaus exclaimed, I was overwhelmed. I couldn't believe it. I was so excited!

ACTION!!! . . . . .On a sunny summer day at Oak Street beach, the smell ot coconut oil lingered in the air. The sand was spotted with bronzed sun wor- shippers, and distant sailboats floated on the water. The scene changed to the tront door ot Oak Park and River Eorest l-ligh School. On the opening day ot school, girls sguealed and clashed down the halls to greet a long-since- seen triend. An endless line at the bookstore loomed in the distance. The picture blurred and then sharpened on a hallway. A bell rang and students emerged trom classrooms and entered the mainstream through the halls and up and down the stairs. lt was a typical Friday: school colors were everywhere. Another bell rang. The last straggling students ran to class as the hall began to empty. The picture zoomed onto a locker, covered with multicolored wrapping paper, streamers and balloons. A poster taped above it read ul-lappy Sweet lo! Some students think that lunch is the best period ot the day. lt's the perfect time to catch up on the latest gossip, see that favorite guy, or finish some homework. Seniors Mary Catherine Bone, Rachelle Ryser, and Lisa Chermel discuss the events of the previous weekend. There's nothing like shopping to drive away weekend blahs. Seniors Sarah Laughran and Beth Hakes prove that trying on makeup is just as fun as buying it.

As junior Annie Chang demon- strates, this spirit lasted even through classes. nna DelVecchio Do af i Ni.t ,,. 5 .st sms. X ' N 1' , 5 .4 at v . I 5 ow. 3 ' fn ,. A hall clock appeared: the time was 3:22 p.m. Students gathered at lockers. A couple walked down the stairs. Possible party ad- dresses were recited. Plans tor the weekend were made. A group ot girls exchanged each other's l-leart-O-Grams. Two boys laughed at the personals in that Fridays Yra- peze. The picture taded and reappeared in the student center. Walls were covered with murals promoting school spirit, and an- nouncing the King ot Hearts dance, the tirst spring play auditions, and a new item in the spirit store. The frame closed in on the elec- tronic message board: t'The l-luskie Time is 3:35 p.m. The last group of students lett the school to go to practice, to work, or to Erik's to satisty their after-school munchies .... Over the summer many students went hunting for a job to raise money for those many summer activities. Students worked in restaurants and stores, while some were lucky enough to be lifeguards at neighborhood pools. Bruce lones found that lifeguarding had its fringe benefits: getting a savage tan and getting paid tor it. When Oak Park just didn't have enough to offer, students would take to the streets of downtown. The el was the fastest way to get them there. Only 20 minutes on the Lake Street el would carry students to the cultural and fun spots downtown. Senior Mark Nakayama waits at the platform for the train to take some friends and him downtown.

A day before the main graduation, held in the OPRF stadium, eight of the seniors on the varsity baseball team received their official diplomas in a special commencement held in Springfield, IL. They were playing in the state championships. The cere- mony was a surprise to all the players except gra- duate Victor Vanek, who had the highest G.P.A. of the players and acted as valedictorian. Because he had to prepare a valedictory speech, Vanek had been told about the ceremony in advance. Baseball Coach Mr. Richard Trout arranged the ceremony. which had many of the same details as the official commencement. lt wasn't as fancy as the real gradu- ation, Head Coach Kaiser said, but it had a special meaning for the boys. Meanwhile, in Oak Park, approximately 698 stu- dents graduated in the 109th commencement. lt was a beautiful day, and the ceremony went well, said Dr. Walker. Graduate Greg Capelli agreed: lt was great that it was held outside. l thought the whole thing was very well run and organized. The gradu- ates wore the long white dresses, dark suits, and roses, traditional of graduation. Speeches were given by Superintendent Dr. Swanson, School Board Presi- dent Leah Marcus, and valedictorians loseph Hilliard and Saji Thomas. The ceremony climaxed with the school cheer, led by senior class president Ray Car- lin. As they shouted Gimme an Ol and threw their confetti in the air, the graduates realized that this was the end of their high school lives, and the beginning of their futures. -luliana Nocker Q4 T?

T w I fter five long days of school, the sun had finally set and the weekend began. He ri- tled through everything in his closet trying to find something to wear. 1-Xt last, he found it, his new shirt and a pair of jeans. Would that look right togeth- er? The phone rang and he and his friends tried to decide what to do for the evening. Should they go to the movies or to a party? Well, whose party is it? . . . She's having a party? . . Okay, who's driving? There were numerous choices and OPRF students explored them all, for nightlife was a important part of weekend activities. Going downtown, to parties, a movie, or even to a sporting event were popular choices. Downtown Chi- cago had many things to offer students such as Oak Street Beach, Medusa's, Greektown, and the options of cruising Rush St. and Michagan Ave. Senior Molly Castronova said, When there is nothing to do in Oak Park I like to go downtown or just hang around with my friends. Downtown was only popular, how- ever, if students had a car available for transportation. Freshman Debbie Peters said, Not being able to drive is a problem if I can't get someplace and there is no one that can get me there. Iunior Barbara Rosi said, Before I was able to drive I used to have to have my parents or my friends' parents drive me and my friends places. Now that I can drive I have more freedom and can go more places. Going to the movies with a group of friends or with a boyfriend or girlfriend, was popular too. Senior Cassie Giroux said, Usually when there aren't any parties going on I go to a movie with some friends. The favorite activity was going to parties. Parties gave students a chance to get together with a large group of friends outside of school. They also enabled students to meet new people. Senior Keri Ronkin said, Usually on weekends I go to parties. I like to go to them to have fun with my friends. Parties in Oak Park had been held in everything from homes and halls to hotels. For a change of pace, some students liked to go to OPRF athletic events at night. Senior Delamie Thompson said, During the winter I sometimes go to the basketball games. They give people a chance to show school spirit and have fun with their friends. One complaint that students had, though, was that there weren't enough things to do in Oak Park. Sen- ior Theresa Gallinaro said, Everyone goes to parties because there is nothing better to do. I think Oak Park should open up a dance place or a juice bar, so that kids will have another place to go. Senior Cassie Grioux said, The only thing that's bad about Oak Park is that usually, unless you're going to a party, you have to go out of Oak Park to find something to do. Other students did find things to do in Oak Park. Movies, ice skating, sporting events, plays, parties, shopping, going out for food, going over to a friend's house or renting a video were some local ways to have fun. Students usually ended their evenings by going to get something to eatg McDonalds, Wendy's, I-Iaagen Das, and Gossage Grill were some of the favorites. As they ate, they discussed the evening. This also gave them a chance to plan for next weekend's activities. Yeah, she looked hot. . ,I can't believe how many people showed up. Now whos having that party again? -Vanessa Schulte +L 5 Q ' r af lg Q 7? if A sr ' ,OT .ia I Sporting events give students a chance to show their spirit, while also adding to their nightlife.

All the months of preparation for prom by the junior class could finally be seen and heard. The theme ALL NIGHT LONG had been chosen. lt was 6:00 p.m. at the O'Hare Sheridan, and people started to arrive. Couples came in everything from old beat- ers and Budget Vans to limousines. Fashions ranged from tuxedos with shorts to dresses of lace or taffeta. The fun had started and the music did play on. The heat surged through the room with tempera- tures steadily climbing. Couples danced below the stage to the music of the band, THE ALL NIGHT NEWS BOYS. Senior Keri Ronkin felt, The music was good but we needed a bigger place, it was really hot. Senior Beth Shubert agreed: The place was too small and too hot. The soda fountain was cool though. According to lunior Class President Mike Kelly, prom wasn't held downtown because, there are only a few places we can fit into downtown and we were .is Prom is not just a dance but a dinner too. Demonstrating his supreme eating abilities, senior Ray Carlin finishes off his 8th chocolate mousse. Amid the steamy excitement of prom night, senior Taby Mullins and her affectionate date take a dip on the crowded dance floor. Prom looking for a nice place but one that wasn't really expensive. Because of fundraisers like the ice cream social, the junior class carnival, and the sale of enter- tainment '85 books, the price of the bid dropped to 31 dollars. This was l0 dollars less than the previous year. The number of bids sold went up to approxi- mately 550, which was 50 more than originally ex- pected. The favor, a candy jar, met some opposition. Senior Theresa Crallinaro said, l don't think the jar was a good idea. They don't have to give us beer mugs, but they could have given us something useful like the bud vase given the year before. After the dance, couples continued the festivities. Some went to restaurants, some to the lakefront, and some to parties. Senior Delamie Thompson said, My date broke his arm the day before, so we just went back to my house with a few other couples and par- tied.

Most students were nervous as they walked into the school with their friends. Freshmen didn't know what to expect, but the knots in their stomachs loosened as the activi- ties of Freshman Fun Night began. Dancing in the North Gym and playing soccer in the field house were among the activities planned. Swimming, basketball, and volleyball were also avail- able. The event was sponsored by the senior class who made only a small profit on the two dollar admission. l think everyone had a good time, and that's what's important, said Mr. Lennie, senior class adviser. ln addition to the senior class council members, Big Brothers and Sisters from Freshmen Advisory helped out at the event. About twenty-five upper classmen offered their services. There weren't many com- plaints about the evening, although Mr. Lennie felt that more publicity would have raised the attendance of the event. Some students were worried about older kids hanging around afterwards. They were scared of being harrassed or beaten up. lt would be better if they kept the upper classmen away, then more peo- ple would go, explained freshman Ramon Guytan. But as freshman Michelle Humes said, lf you were ready to have fun, you had fun! One week after Freshman Fun Night welcomed freshmen to school, Tau Gamma presented Munch Down The Yellow Brick Road, urging freshmen girls to participate in school activities. The school became the magical land of Oz, with the South Cafeteria draped with illustrations from the skit that was to be performed. Our goal is to get every student in- volved in one extra-curricular activity, said Dr. Larry Walker, a guest speaker. Tau Gamma president, Sarah Laughran added, 'lSome people go to a school the size of OPRF and are afraid to try out. They think they won't make it. The main feature was the skit, which starred Tudith Kohn as Dorothy, who was trapped in OPRF LAND. She learned about the school while trying to find her way to the wizard. ln the end Dorothy wanted to stay in GPRF LAND to participate in activities. Freshman Fun Night and Match Mate Munch helped ease the freshmen into the school. Both fall events stressed the important message that freshmen should get involved. As Sarah Laughran warned, The worst thing that can happen in high school is that you won't have enough to do. -Deirdre Fitzgerald P Munchkins help Dorothy in Match Mate Munch's skit, Munch Down The Yellow Brick Road.

Students became more relaxed in dressing habits. ln 1984, Student Council pressed the administration to take a closer look at the rule. Finally, 1 T W t ,, in 1984, three years after the shorts ban was instigat- ed,,the rule was lifted. Students had the privilege to wear shorts such as the ones that reached the knee and were tailored. Opinions on the new rule varied. Senior ludy Maroney said she thought that the shorts rule is a good idea because it finally gives the stu- dents the chance to make some responsible deci- sions. But Mr. Don Vogel, the Student Council ad- viser, did not think the students were responsible S1'1OL1Qh.Q. Students don't have a serious attitude in shorts . . . they are not keeping with the spirit of the guidelines when wearing inappropriate shorts. lu- nior Kathy Osta said, Those wearing gym shorts, etc. are ruining the chance for others. Senior Tim Clancy agreed: Those who take advantage of it Cwearing inappropriate shortsl are losing the privi- leges for other students. But the shorts rule had its benefits. Every one is more comfortable. Things have been loosened and relaxed, Clancy added. Whether the shorts were paisley, plaid, Hawaiian print or a ninety cent find at the Salvation Army, students welcomed the new rule with open arms - and bare legs. - Elizabeth Hayano Dress Code ., U 1.5 ' f- .gif fp- r, Je, l arf' N ,ixggfe sg Helping support Y.E.H. fYouth Ending Hungerl, juniors Me- lanie Sowell and Sylene Isaac buy orange and blue popcorn from junior Alicia leronomo.

The lunch activity was a limbo contest held in the student center. Limboing under a bamboo pole may not have been some students' idea of fun but senior Colleen Doyle thought, lt was hilarious. . . it was like being at the beach again. On Wednesday, students wore their favorite col- lege t-shirt or sweatshirt. The lunchtime activity was a sand castle building contest. Students who volun- teered for the contest were given a certain period of time to build the most inventive castle in a swimming pool filled with sand. While other castles collapsed, many remained intact and that helped determine the winners. One participant, sophomore Melissa Farrug- gia thought, lt was a really good idea. . . and cute tool Cn Thursday, students wore their favorite shades and spirit buttons to back the Huskies. Senior loe Hayes said, Lunch was fun, as the activity was a Beach Boys lip sync contest. Students selected tunes and mouthed along with them.

Members of Student Council were also pleased with the results of Spirit Week. l unior class president Laura Vanek thought, The theme 'Sun, Sand and Surf' got a lot of compliments from the students and deans. Although the theme was chosen in a council meeting by brainstorming, The planning definitely took alot of time, said Student Council President Tim Clancy. Spirit Week did have its faults. Clancy said, The pep rallies in all lunches were a disappointment be- cause of the lack of representatives from each fall sport. The representatives were to give a brief intro- duction of the members and not all of them showed. Clancy and Vanek both agreed that the week went well but in future Spirit Weeks to come, More activ- ity from the student body is needed and more public- ity, said Vanek. Those who did participate were in agreement about the overall success of the week. lunior Kathy Gall said, lt went really well. . .it was cool. Senior Beth Hills liked it because of the events: Everyday there was something new. Everyone should have par- ticipated. Senior Beth Hakes commented, The par- ticipation made me feel good.

Despite the clouds and mud, the Thatcher Woods parking lot was alive with color, music, and fun. Decorated cars, pulling a variety of floats, gathered in the lot. Cheerful students filled the cars and floats with laughter. They danced, they sang and they cheered in Hawaiian prints. Orange and blue were everywhere, as Huskie spirit started off the Homecoming day. Although heavy rain Friday night could have dam- pened the floats as well as spirits, everyone was ready for the judging to begin. The floats were judged according to how well they used the theme of Sun, Sand and Surf plus creativity, originality, and over- all appearance. After a panel of judges examined each entry, the winners were chosen. Third place went to the sophomore class, second place to Tau Gamma, and first place to the senior class. After the judging, the floats and cars got into a line and the parade began. Led by the Oak Park Police, the Homecoming Parade made its way to the school via Chicago Avenue. Beach Boys music mingled with the sound of car horns. Spectators waved as surf boards, beaches and waves drove by. The floats made their final appearance as they were driven around the football field before the varsity game. Orange and blue filled the crowded stadium at the Homecoming game. Spirits were high and fans were true to their school. Streamers unrolled in the air as they were thrown over the stands. The game was the climax of the week. The Huskies were first on the score board with junior Brennen Keefe throwing a touchdown pass to junior Doug Amaya. Later in the half, Glenbard West pulled ahead with a touchdown and extra point. lt was really exciting and l had fun, said sophomore fenny Gould of the game. For the halftime entertainment the Drill Team did a routine to a medley of Beach Boys's surfing songs. Then the Homecoming court and queen were an- nounced. Senior Kelly Schaus was crowned the Homecoming queen. The halftime entertainment continued, as a band of OPRF students played and spectators danced in the stands.

Keefe completed another touchdown pass to junior David Dougherty, making the score l2-7. lnstead of trying for the extra point, Keefe threw to Amaya for a two point conversion. The Huskie defense kept Glen- bard West back as the Huskies won 14-7. The OPRF Huskies surfed over Glenbard with school spirit and a great team. -Deirdre Fitzgerald t W 5. s k ' 'V 0 X .

Cou- ples paired up beneath a stage to dance to the music of the Beach Boys, as played by the Yanks . A tropical heat rose from the crowd and added to the Hawaiian setting. lt was the perfect environment for the Homecoming theme of Sun, Sand, and Surf. The Student Center, decorated by members of the Student Council and senior class, helped to set the mood. Senior Beth Shubert said, The decora- tions were the best. Most of the time the decorations seem stupid, but these looked great, artisitic! l loved the waves. The Student Center and its balcony were adorned with palm trees, hanging pineapples, and paintings of sunsets, beaches, and surfs. Upon enter- ing the dance, each couple had to walk through a shimmering blue waterfall, and everyone was bes- towed with a lei. lt was the perfect touch, said senior Heather Herbstritt. lt was a neat way to start the dance. The band was called 'the Yanks,' performing for a crowd of 1162. Senior leff Wohlschlaeger said, The band was great. They played great music and every- one looked like they were having a good time. Sen- ior Kevin Roy added, They really knew how to get the crowd going. The band was awesome! The crowd got together to dance to songs by ABC, U2, and The Talking Heads. The 'Yanks' also played some strongly requested Beach Boys songs which put the crowd in a frenzy of beach party madness. lf the dance floor got too crowded, couples found refuge on the upper balcony or in the north cafeteria, where soda and punch was served. Senior Betsy Farley said, I thought that the punch in the cafeteria was a great idea, but my date was such an excellent dancer that we spent most of the time on the dance floor! By the end of the evening, the dance floor was covered with rumpled leis, streamers, and lost cor- sages, and the crowd readily awaited the announce- ment of the Homecoming Queen and her court. Sen- ior Kelly Schaus was crowned queen, and her senior and junior court was presented and escorted down the stairs. The pictures had been taken, the coats had been found, and the plans were made. Couples got togeth- er to find a pair of paper sunglasses with their names printed on them as a momento of the evening. With the Hawaiian spirit still strong, couples stepped out into the night to finish the evening with a nice dinner downtown, a romantic walk along the beach, or a quiet night at home. Everyone would keep the mood alive as the sun set on another Homecoming. -leanne Hardy The cafeteria was packed with soda and punch for thirsty dancers or for couples who just wanted to have some quiet time alone.

Dieting and exercise became the religion of many body conscious Ameri- cans. How did you compare? Did you diet constantly, striving for that double digit weight to come down on the scale? Did you spend three or more hours a day at nauti- lus or some other exercise in fear that the apple you ate for lunch would attach itself to your hip? Did your brain calculate your calorie intake faster than your algebra homework? lf you had to answer yes to any of the above questions, you may have been suffering from the 'SUS epidemic of over-fitness mania! Dieting was probably the fastest, yet for some, al- most impossible way to lose weight. There were a multitude of diets in the market: fad diets, natural diets, microbiotic diets, powdered diets, liquid diets and the ever popular starvation diet. These diets were often unhealthy, causing fatigue, headaches, and vi- eir re Buckingham week you will probably gain seven back. To lose the weight and keep it off you have to totally change your eating habits. ' Exercise was another aspect of good fitness. To keep physicaly fit many students exercised three times a week for at least twenty to forty minutes. They joined health clubs, gyms, and pools. They took up jogging, racketball, and other sports for fitness. Sen- ior Missy Powell said, You have to exercise long enough to work all of your musclesg you can't tone up if you don't exercise while dieting, Mrs. Diana lvas, a girls' P.E. teacher agreed: During aerobics, you burn up more calories than you would by just dieting. Therefore, you will lose more weight while dieting if you follow it up with a good aerobics and exercise program. More overweight people should exercise while dieting because if they just lose weight, they will get loose skin folds, while if they exercise, it will tighten up. Videos, magazines, clubs, and T.V., informed the N-B tamin deficiencies. ln addition, they often didn't work or worked only for a while. Dieters often lost the weight, then went off the diet only to gain it all back and even more. Senior Colleen Young said, You have to have your mind set on dieting. You can't diet all week to lose five pounds, because the following Some students prefer to eat guilt free, they don't have to worry about their weight.

Before visiting the Art Institute, juniors Serena Eng and Linda Flo rest under one of the museum's three ton copper lion sculptures.

Were you sitting around, trying to think of a new plan, but somehow always ended up strolling around the Oak Park Mall for what seemed like the hundreth time? lf so, there was no need to despair! Relief was only a short el ride away. lust 30 minutes could take a person to downtown Chicago, a city filled with unusual, educational, and fun things to do. Because of this, a trip to the bustling Big City was a popular pastime of many students who were singing the stuck in the suburb blues. To many teenagers, downtown Chicago meant more variety in several areas. lf one was a shop-a- holic, the magnificent mile CMichigan Ave.D and well known Water Tower Place were dreams come true. The stores located there ranged from classic and expensive Saks Fifth Avenue to the trendy shop Express, complete with new wave clothing and mo- hawked mannequins. Because of this variety, shop- ping downtown was an extremely enjoyable and in- teresting activity for many students. Water Tower is one of my favorite malls, junior Sarah Cappelli said. Because so many good stores are located in the same building, shopping is more relaxing and conve- nient. Although shopping was probably the most popular activity, many students also found that the city pro- vided several cultural advantages over the suburbs. Downtown Chicago has always been a mecca for those interested in all areas of the arts. One favorite activity was spending a day at the Art Institute, where students could enjoy the flowing lines of Renior in one room, and the striking modern art of Andy War- hol in the next. Some students, like sophomore Kera Bolonik, liked the wide range of ever changing ex- indy ity hibits: The Art Institute literally has something that appeals to each person. You are sure to find a section that you especially enjoy. ln other areas of the arts, such as theatre, Chicago again provided several options in both live and film performances. Serious drama could be seen at the Goodman Theatre or comedy at the Second City. Students could go to the many feature movie houses, or even drive to the Biograph for a special midnight showing of the cult favorite, The Rocky Horror Pic- ture Showf' Although uncommon, some OPRF stu- dents, such as sophomore Michelle McNamara, at- tended some exclusive Chicago clubs, such as the Limelight and Cabaret Metro. My brother and sister live downtown, said McNamara. They've been able to take me to some really unusual places, things that most people never get to see. In the area of science, there were many attractions. At the Museum of Science and lndustry, there were many exhibits which were visited by students. For stargazers, the Adler Planaterium was also popular, since it taught more about the constellations and the galaxy. For teens who adored the sea, the Shedd Aquarium was an ideal place for students to view live sharks, octupus, and other marine life. Still other students enjoyed simply wandering through the parks and lazing on the sandy beaches of Chicago, especially under the warmth of the week- end sun. The city was close enough to Oak Park to provide new experiences with a minimum of hassles. No matter what activities students pursued, being downtown provided a respite from the weekend blahs. -luliana Nocker Chicago ored P Q-ww.,WM.v,.w-V-vvssl. .W NM. ., . ,. .WM 5 'x 5 5 . va' -' 2' ,2 was W W W ,J has D'? t4Q QMSVZ MR as N-M mwi55t bvw.0g 5,5 swam-.vggM, Qwhwqw as .NN is aw q 3cT'bi5P?W i 't- wise..

Were you always moping around, complaining that there was nothing to do? There were different and unusual things to do in Oak Park and River Forest and many students took advantage of and enjoyed specific op- portunities and programs. Did you ever want to use the computer at home but found that someone was always ahead of you? The Oak-Park Township Youth Committee offered a solu- tion - computers which were available for use during afterschool hours. Users were allowed to do home- work or write programs, under supervision. The township also offered a gameroom where teenagers could drop in to play pool or ping-pong. Located about the Dole-Branch Library, the gameroom also offered video games and shuffle-board. Although there was supervision, the gameroom offered a free atmosphere in which to relax. The Sea Scouts was a group that concentrates on old nautical traditions, said group leader Marty Schimel. The group took sailing, motor-boating, and camping trips to various places, including a visit to the White Water Lake State Park and Chain Lake State Park. Winter outings included a ski-trip to the Cascade Mountains and a stay in a rented cabin. The members met every Thursday at the Forest Park Army Reserve Center. Practice drills in the military style and ceremonies in the Navy tradition were often held. Mr. Schimel stressed that the Sea Scouts was purely for enjoyment: 'lWe are not a Navy Prep school. We are out to give people an opportunity to do things they may not get to do otherwise. To junior Linda Flo, the Sea Scouts offered a learning exper- ience beyond the classroom level: l wanted to learn more about the sea and sailing. l want to go into The Oak Park Art League held exhibitions to inform the com- munity on various arts. During such an exhibition, senior Susan Schultz observes the details in the Williamsburg Cottage, a painting by Marylee Brown.

Unusual Things To Do In Oak Park Marine Biology or Oceanography but nothing in the school offers any class in that field, so I joined the Sea Scouts. Did you ever look at a painting of a portrait and wish you could paint like that? The Oak Park Art League offered classes in portrait painting, still-life and landscape painting in oil, acryllic, water-colors, and mixed-media. The league also held art programs on the first Sunday of every month. Exhibits and demonstrations on various arts were given during these programs. Another artistic opportunity offered in Oak Park was the Village Players, a group that was dedicated to bringing good plays at a low cost to the Oak Park- River Forest community. They performed all year round, approximately eight plays, plus children's shows. One did not have to be a member of the Village Players to try out or work on the plays. Sopho- more luliana Nocker participated in the productions for four years. The plays are realistic because the cast is varied in age and background, she said. The River Forest Community Center offered many activities for River Forest teens such as a theatre group. There was also a club for high school students which was involved in planning ski trips, dances, celebrity performances, and concert trips. Sports fans went on trips to Bears, Sting, and Blackhawk games. The community center also offered clinics on bike repair and Christmas shopping trips. There were also trips to the Axle Roller Rink in Norridge, and a mod- ern dance program called Senior lazz. lf you were bored with the usual run-of-the mill activities, you should have looked a little further.

The Sears Tower, the lohn Han- cock Building, and the Magnificent Mile rose in all their glory alongside the Water Tower and Cak Street Beach. Couples danced on Lake Shore Drive as they painted the town red in Valentine's Day spirit, at the annual King of Hearts dance. Students danced to the music of Yanks as they waited for the king and his court to be announced. Senior Kelly Schaus said, The band was good but they took too many breaks. Sophomore Dan Zapler agreed: The band was good when they were play- ing but that wasn't too often. The overall effect was semierowdy, though, which I liked. Dance sponsor Tau Gamma, along with most students, agreed that the dance was a success. Senior Paula Escobar said, After the court was announced and senior leff Ebert was crowned king, he and his date senior Sandy Hamen enjoyed a moment in the royal limelight. Showing off his new moves, a huffing and puffing senior lim Donovan struts his stuff. 'lThe decorations were fantastic and they kept the main doors open so it was a lot cooler. Towards the end of the evening, students gathered at the bottom of the student center stairs in anticipa- tion of the announcement of court. After junior and senior court had been announced, cheers went up as senior left Ebert was crowned king. As the evening drew to a close, students went on to post-dance activities. lunior Valerie Molise said, The dance was fun but it seemed really short. l was look- ing more forward to the parties afterwards. Sopho- more Leionel Zuniga agreed: King of Hearts gave people a chance to get dressed up and dance and afterward, go out to dinner or to a party. Senior Colleen Young, Tau Gamma member said, We tried to capture the romantic aspects of Chicago by imitating the lights, the skyline, the parks, and the aristocratic people. The streets of the city came to life for a King of Hearts, Chicago style. - Vanessa Schulte King Cf Hearts Dance :Gossip can be shocking!

The gossip at my lunch table was especially good after a weekend, added senior Cassie Giroux. Students became quite cynical about their gossip. Even if it was Hgood to hear, commented senior Bob Langley, it's not all that believable.

All three took place in the student center and fea- tured D.l.'s instead of bands. Not only was this less expensive for the sponsors, but it enable the dancers to hear the latest hits, as well as old favorites and special request. Student Council sponsored two of these dances. The first morp was held on October sixth and served as a pre-game celebration for the annual Oak Park- Fenwick football game. Council members led danc- ers in enthusiastic cheering sessions. The cheers of- fered a break from dancing and were an example of outstanding school spirit. The first morp had the big- gest crowd of all. I was glad a lot of people were there. The more the merrier! said sophomore Mar- garet Ambrosino.

After final exams the freshman and sophomore classes joined to sponsor the first ever Final Exam lam, which was an exciting close to the first semester. Dancers could finally relax and anticipate the much needed four day weekend that separated the semesters. Apparently the Exam lam was more than just a dance. A lot of people sat in the cafeteria and talked, said freshman Liz Radcliff. The morps were less expensive dances, only three dollars per person compared to ten dollars per cou- ple at Homecoming. The events continued to attract students throughout the year. They were interclass activities that brought the whole school together.

Singles' Dances In retrospect... What seniors will miss the mostj .. CC eniors, you have just completed what many have called the happiest days of your life! You are looking toward your futures with a great deal of anticipation and excitement. During your high school years you have hopefully prepared for that future, its challenges and rewards. You've gained outstanding social experience, important knowledge about yourself and your society .... The 1986 graduating class fidgeted in their seats as sparks of excitement buzzed through the air. Visions of success, glory, and peer admiration danced in their heads. Their faces proudly scanned the football stadium as their fellow graduates, their family, and the faculty faded away. Memories of a packed stadi- um filled with a raging homecoming crowd, the colorful parade of floats the homecoming court, the winning touchdown and the evening dance came to life again in full color. Many seniors had strong memories of their high school days. What memories of those years would they miss the most? Seniors responded: The high school atmosphere, being young, compet- ing in sports as a senior. -lohn Allegretti Parties and dances, especially prom. -Bill Zobel Being around all of these people.

In addition, athletes often made long lasting lriendships. The Varsity Football team shares the excitement ot a good play during the Homecoming game.

A multitude of celebrations The annual Halloween costume contest attracts all kinds of amazing beings. The finalists take their places on stage in front of a cheering lunch-time crowd. - Not a holiday went by with- out students' notice. Whether it was selling grams. entering a Halloween costume contest or trimming a tree. students could expect a festival for each holiday. Halloween started the string of events with the sale of Goul- O-Grams and a Halloween cos- tume contest held in the Stu- dent Center during the lunch periods. Despite the many cos- tume regulations. Student Council President Tim Clancy said. This year had a better turnout and more creative cos- tumes: the students were more enthusiastic than in the past. The Christmas season was the time to spread cheer and to be generous. For Thanks- giving. the freshman class held a Turkey Morp. The week before semester break. clubs held a tree trimming party for all nationalities. made a class paper chain where the profits were given to famine relief. sold Santa Grams. and held the annual food and toy sale sponsored by the Senior Class Council. The activities were for a good cause and the Christmas season is the time for giving. I thought it was ap- propriate to keep in the spirit, said senior Beth Delucia. Valentine's Day brought a more personal touch to activi- ties. With the King of Hearts Dance on the day after. stu- dents were able to purchase carnations. Heart-O-Grams and Dance-O-Garms for their dates and friends. Getting carnations from my date got me psyched for the dance, said senior Heather Herbstritt. Whether it was giving for a cause, giving to a friend or just having fun, students always celebrated holidays with flare and spirit. - Jeanne Hardy A grama day .. Move over Hallmark! At OPRF students who cared enough to send the very best, did so in a fun, inexpen- sive way by purchasing Grams sponsored by Stu- dent Council, Tau Gamma, and Orchesis. The tradition of selling Grams, construction paper cards shaped like holiday symbols, had been going on for several years. They fthe Gramsj are a fun way to just say 'Hi' to your friends, said sophomore Karen GIienke, and they raise money at the same time. The first Grams of the year were Ghoul-a-grams, Halloween cards sold by Student Council. Student Council raised about S200 from Ghoul-a-gram salesg this money went into the council's treasury. Tau Gamma, which sold Santa-grams, also put their over S300 profit into their trea- sury. According to Santa- gram chairperson junior Mag- gie McGrath, each card had to be edited before being sent. Most cards are just friendly notes. said McGrath, and the funniest ones are love notes, things like 'I am a fresh- man boy. I know you're a ju- nior, but you're the prettiest girl l've ever seen,' etc. Prof- its were an important part of gram sales. Said McGrath, We do grams partly because it's a tradition, but the profits are definitely an important r son. Approximately 1 grams were sold each peri three periods a day for f days. Most students pur chased about five or six ca although sophomore Quit Logan purchased sixty San grams. Valentine's Day 'Heart grams, usually sponsored Tau Gamma, were handled the Junior Class Council in or der to increase their funds prom. For added flair, 'Dance grams,' an idea which beg in 1984, were popular. Spi sored by the Orchesis Dar Troupe, the 32.00 'Dance grams' consisted of Orche dancers who did tap, jazz, l: let, and modern dance wl delivering a message to s dents or teachers.

When the danci came into A-period saying i name, I wanted to crawl unc my chair, said senior Krist Hedger, but in the end it vi a really cute and thought idea. So whether it was danci elves or paper snowme 'grams' were a good way ' students to show they cared. -Juliana The Orchesis Dance Troupe sold Dance-o-Grams which were during A-period. Seniors Rebecca Monson, Lisa Bradely and Janet spark up a dull A-Period with some holiday spirit. Person - to -person Freenz, Quit with the looks! Let's getbeitrucken? Wieriel Kostet??? Have you seen a black Berlinetta lately? Let's Make sure we know. Transla- tion: Stop looking at me that way. Have you seen that cute guy we saw that time in the black Berlinetta? Most students found that the personals, written twice a year in the Trapeze, were not only interesting to read but also a good way to spread gossip. Senior Sue C'Leary said the personals were a fun way to write private jokes to your friends because nobody un- derstands themg otherwise they would be really embarras- ing. - Iunior Barbara Rosi said, They are funny if you under- stand what they're talking about, but some of them are really cruel. Students used the personals as a chance to communicate with their friends or people they wanted to get closer to. Sophomore Shamar Strokosch said, I think they're great be- cause you can talk to your friends through them. They're also a neat way to let someone know you have a crush on them. The main complaint about the personals was the censor- ship. Senior Dave O'Connell said, They censor them too much. lunior Laura Wehre- man agreed: l think that they censor them more than they need to, but it's really funny when they miss stuff that should have been censored. Senior Riley Lynch Managing Business Editor for the Trapeze said, Sometimes kids will pur- chase personals under other people's names. We try to cen- sor these out, but we don't al- ways know about it. lt is also a problem because if we do catch it we can't give the mon- ey back because we don't know who wrote it. Lynch es- timated that only about 20 per- sonals had to be censored out of all the ones turned in for the Christmas issue. Most students liked reading the personals but some shared senior Mark Nelson's view: They're only good if you yourself put something in there, the other ones are meaningless because they have nothing to do with you. lunior Lori Schalk agreed, You can't understand half of them so it doesn't matter any- way. Senior Keri Ronkin summed up the feelings of most stu- dents: The personals in the Trap are fun to read because they're like a puzzle and if you can figure them out usually you'll have something to laugh at. i i - -Vanessa Schulte S.L.l.M.E. busters promote S.L.l.M.E. fever quickly spread through the halls and classrooms of OPRF the week of February 7th, kicking off Student Council's anti-tardi- ness campaign. The S.L.l.M.E. tStudents Late ln Meeting Ex- pectationsj campaign began because Superintendent Dr. John Swanson approached Student Council and ex- pressed his concern about the increase in student tardiness. l noticed that students had a bad habit of getting to class late and disrupting the class- room atmosphere, so l thought we should do some- thing about it, said Swanson. Senoir Scott Peterson. chairman of the S.L.l.M.E. committee, said Swanson's idea, which was to assign late students to a room for the rest of the period, was more of a negative approach, so we started this. Peterson felt that many students 'tthink S.L.l.M.E. is a joke, but Stu- dent Council President, senior Tim Clancy disagreed. They tthe teachersj take it seriously so that helps, Clancy said.

The Oak Park-Fenwick meltdown Once more the Oak Park Hus- kies faced their cross-town ri- vals Fenwick High School in the annual football game. Last year the hungry Huskies had to beat a 99 heat wave as well as a vengeful Fenwick team. Both teams had their school 's reputa- tion at stake. Head Coach Gary Olson thought the heat factor played a big part in the outcome of the game: They were both good teams but the game became a survival of the h'ttest After half-time, the Huskies had lost two players to near heat stroke. promptness tions towards S.L.l.M.E. Ju- nior Maggie McGrath said, S.L.l.M.E. is a worthless waste of time because no one enforces it. Sophomore Lisa Van disagreed: l think it is a good motivivational method to get people to their classes on time. Although S.L.l.M.E. lasted for only one week, Clancy felt that it raised an awareness of tardiness and hopefully teach- ers will keep up their enforce- ment of tardiness for the rest of the year. - Rachel Brown No matter the conditions, the Huskies fought hard. ln the first half senior Anton Person ran 40 yards to give Oak Park a 7-O lead Then Fenwick was driving hard in the third quarter and threw a pass down the held for a touchdown. Junior Dave Dou- gherty intercepted the pass and ran 65 yards to score once again. At the hnal count, the Huskies had won 13-O. lt was a hard fought game, with two out- standing plays. The spirit was on our side, said Coach Olson. - Jeanne Hardy S.L.l.M.E. Week was Student Coun- cil's own remedy for tardiness. Fresh- man Pat Schulte is cornered for be- ing late to class.

The Statue of Liberty is an impor- tant part of our country's his- tory. l'm glad that it will be around for the next genera- tions, said junior Doug Chuchro. -Jeanne Hardy UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU DUUUUDUUUU The Sweet Rose Behind all the hoopla and headlines stood a hero- a hero who had just broken another hero's world record. Pete Rose, of the Cincinnati Reds. surpassed Ty Cobb's long- standing record of 4,191 ca- reer hits with a smooth single to left center on a 2-and-1 pitch. Not only was Rose play- ing with the Reds. but he also was managing. lt was great because Pete Rose broke the world record in his 23rd sea- son and Ty Cobb set it in his 24th. Rose is still playing too. said junior Jeff Luts. The hero owed a lot to the old timers like Ty Cobb and Honus Wagner. They prob- ably gave him some high goals when he started out, thought senior Trish Detmer, and when he broke it. well. it must have felt good. When Rose broke the re- cord. the nation cheered and he cried. After all the tension and coverage, Rose's feelings were shown as he and his son embraced on first base. And through the tears, the ovation and celebration began. Rose's base hit had just become histo- ry. As for the future. Rose was looking into an open field. As for the past - well, it wasn't exactly hit or miss. - Elizabeth Hayano lt was a near perfect exam- ple of the domino theory ap- plied to a football season.

The 13th game fthe Miami Dolphinsl - well, you win some, you lose one, Why not con- centrate on the best parts of the season? Like the defen- sive team, otherwise knows as the Black and Blues Brothers. The players were well known for the 46 zone, designed by defensive architect Buddy Ryan. The zone was credited to the two remarkable shut- outs of the Dallas Cowboys Q44-OJ and the New York Gi- ants t21-Ol. Some of the brothers were Richard Dent, Gary Fencik, Otis Wilson, Mike Singletary, Steve McMichael, Dan Hampton, and William The Refrigerator Perry. Senior Colleen Doyle said, I love the Fridge the com- mercials are great and he's so funnyl Other players on the offensive team who have also become house-hold names were Walter Sweetness Payton, Steve Fuller and don't forget that unique quarterback Jim McMahon, whose sung- lasses, hairdo and headbands aided to the growing popular- ity of the Bears. Junior Julie Bruno said, He was so unpre- 1 3 tx 73 U dicable that he made the sea- son more exciting and fun to follow. But popularity was not what brought them to the Superbowl. The Bears and coaches worked diligently since training camp, eventual- ly putting them on the road. Although the Patriots scored first with a field goal, the Bears rallied and the hearts and minds of the fans followed. The Bears totally dominated the rest of the Bowl due to scoring by William Per- ry, Jim McMahon, Reggie Phil- lips, Matt Suhey and with the aid of Gentry Gault and Butler. The final score was 47-10. -Elizabeth Hayano The Bear's Superbowl victory brought great rewards and pride to their fans. Mrs. Dolores Marino's loyal- ty paid off with a free car wash and wax, by a not so ardent fan Mr. Reid. of Super Bear hype It was quite a season for the Bears - both on and off the field. Their awesome athletic ability, not to mention their charisma and hype, were brought to the public by way of television, paper advertise- ments, clothing, and video. Many Bears may not have had a lot of playing time on the field, but off the field, in front of the camera, they were stars. The Superbowl Shuffle al- lowed several to show their dancing, singing and musical ability in a dittyfvideo from which the royalties fmoney made from the sales of the vid- eo cassettesj would go to Chi- cago's neediest families. As Walter Payton put it, We're not doin' this because we're greedyg the Bears are doin' it to feed the needy. Senior Trish Detmer commented, By the end of the season, everyone knew the words to the Super Bowl Shuffle. Other Bears stuck to the basic hamburger, beer and car commercials while William Perry and jim McMahon chose to sell themselves on talk shows such as the Tonight Show and Late Night with David Letterman. Senior Paul Serkland thought, Letterman and McMahon were great! I was surprised. The Bears were always in the spotlight and it was no wonder that the viewing audience at the Dome in New Orleans was 8096 Bears oriented. Any and every Bear became a hot com- modity by the time they shuffled to the Superbowl texcept for the Honey Bears who were can- celled after the '86 season.j The fact of the matter was that whether one was a die- hard fan or just enjoyed the hype, the Bears became a part of many people's lives as they watched their favorite team win the Superbowl. - Elizabeth Hayano off the cuiztittg t'oorri flloor-off the ctitting tooth i'lloot'-ct The lyrical conflict: Morality vs. Ist Amendment Sex and violence were the cause of yet another contro- versy.

Some of the artists ac- cused of singing or writing vul- gar lyrics were Judas Priest. Motley Crue. ACXDC. and Twisted Sister. Other singers including Michael Jackson. were accused of having ques- tionable lyrics. Students were mostly against the rating of lyrics. lt's ignorant because as soon as people see that music is re- stricted. they'lI want to buy it even more. said sophomore Jennifer Berg. Others were more concerned about the loss of freedom that would be con- nected with rating song lyrics. I think it's wrong because America is a democracy.

Lift off of the 25th space shuttle mission . . . And it has cleared the tower. So came the voice from launch control as thousands of people from Kennedy Space Center and the nation watched the Chal- lenger's tenth launch. Everyth- ing seemed to be going well on the clear but unusually cold day in Florida. Suddenly the speeding shuttle exploded into a ball of fire. The tragedy occurred 74 seconds after lift-off. The Challenger carried seven crew members, among them the first private citizen in space - teacher Christa McAuliffe. NASA investigators were searching for the cause of the disaster, focusing on Chal- lenger's huge external fuel tank which housed liquid hy- drogen and liquid oxygen, two very volatile substances, and on the two rocket boosters. Meanwhile, all future shuttle wifi' 'EWS Cuitfiipfg launchings were suspended indefinitely. The explosion stunned the nation that had previously en- joyed great success with its space program. The mission was supposed to transmit a lesson taught by McAuliffe from space. Instead, the ex- plosion brought attention to the controversy of manned vs. unmanned flights, and the general safety of the shuttle program. In OPRF, students were allowed to watch the launch during 4th lunch: It was terrible! I watched it on T.V. during lunch and my stomach turned over. I felt sort of empty in a way, said junior Stephanie Endlsey. President Reagan, while of- fering condolences to the na- tion praised NASA in its efforts and called for further flights.

UUUUUUUUCIUUEJUEIUUUIIU The Wrath of Mother Nature Our planet is constantly being changed and effected by natural forces. Last year they caused sever- al disasters, ranging from a land- slide in Puerto Rico to a hurricane in the eastern United States. The tears of the victims reflected their hunger, homelessness, terror, and rage, not to metion the loss of loved ones. Each natural disaster, accompannied with devastation and death, was presented to the rest of the world through the me- dia. Three hurricanse devastated the U.S. in the fall. Hurricane Elana devestated parts of the gulf coast in September. Later that month, Hurricane Gloria visited the .east coast. Finally, in November, Hurri- cane Kate dropped in on the Flor- ida panhandle after blowing over Cuba. Kate then went on to Geor- gia, where the destruction contin- ued. All three hurricanes destroyed homes, flooded streets, and tore up landscaping, causing millions of dollars worth of damage. Power lines went down, rain pounded on the streets and over thirty people lost their lives. Disaster continued as Ponce, Puerto Rico was destroyed by a mudslide on October 7th, It began with a fifteen inch rainfall that had led to severe flooding. Five hun- dred residents were buried in the mud. Nineteen more died in vehi- cles as a bridge fell into the Paco- Seco River. The devastation of the season continued when a four minute- long earthquake, in November, left Mexico City in shambles. The killer quake measured 7.8 on the Richter scale. A police report stated that more then 4700 people were killed, but most estimates were closer to 10,000 people dead. Thousands of bodies were found buried under tons of rubble. Hundreds of people worked carefully to remove piles of' crumbled cement piece by piece. Late November brought further destruction to Columbia. A erupting volcano caused mug flows which destroyed entire vil- lages killing thousands of people It left thousands more homeles and hungry with limited medica supplies. People from all over th world sent relief to Columbi through the Red Cross.

October 7: Arab extremists seized the Italian cruise ship, Achille Lauro, with 123 pas- sengers and 315 crew mem- bers aboard. One American businessman, Leon Klingh- ofer, a 69 year old stroke vic- tim in a wheel chair, was shot in the forehead and his body thrown overboard. The Pales- tine hijackers tried to escape to Tunis, but U.S. fighter-inter- ceptors caught up with the chartered Egypt Air Boeing 747, with the hijackers and a few other Palestines on board, and forced it to land in a naval airbase in Italy. The hijackers were arrested by Italian offi- cials and were later brought to trial in Italy. November 23: An Egypt Air plane was hijacked enroute from Athens and diverted to Malta. Egyptian commandos stormed the plane the next day, killing 60 people. December 27: Four terrorists hurled grenades and sprayed machine gun fire into a crowd at Flome's Leonardo Da Vinci Airport. Simultaneously, three gunmen attacked the Vienna airport. the attacks were aimed at El Al airline. At least 15 people were killed in Fiome. three in Vienna, and approxi- mately 110 were injured in the two attacks.

Some progress, though, was made regarding cultural ex- changes, opening consulates and resuming commercial flights between the two na- tions. Perhaps the most important result of the summit was the agreement to hold two more summits, one in 1986 in the U.S., and the other in the Sovi- et Union in 1982 The summit was perhaps the beginning of the dialogue tor peace that Reagan called for. - Akila Srinivasan After a 75 year orbit. Halley's Comet appeared in its glory. English teacher Ms. Linda Levine displays her enthusi- asm by dressing up as her favorite comet for Halloween. Hail Halley! It look like a big dirty snow- ball traveling through space, and it caused quite a commo- tion. The brightest and most famous of periodic comets, Halley's Comet, visits Earth only once every 76 years, and last year was the year. Halley's Comet had been passing Earth at regular inter- vals since at least 240 B.C. On its 1910 visit, Halley's Comet was fairly bright and showed off a long tail. Last year, the comet was able to be seen with a telescope starting in late No- vember. It was not as brilliant as in 1910 because of its posi- tion and because of the pollu- tion level. ln 1682, the English as- tronomer, Edmund Halley, viewed the comet and calculat- ed its orbital elements. He pre- dicted it would return in 1758. Halley died in 1742 but when the comet appeared in 1758, it was named in his honor. Comets were once taken as mysterious omens. Halley's Comet's appearences were said to have foretold the destruc- tion of Jerusalem in 70 A.D., the defeat of Attila the Hun in 451 and the conquest of Eng- land in 1066. Students were enthusiastic about the comet.

Senior Charise Ka- explained, Dancing, more than art forms, is vulnerable. You are up H., ,,,,,, there on stage, creating art with your body. So you must trust the people you dance with. You must get on stage and dance as a group, or the dance will not look good. You have to dance with peo- ple who will back you up, not cut you down. Senior Ann Sugg agreed: We work together to make everyone look good. If someone can't do a step, every- one will help her with it. We want to high- light everyones talents. Unity was especially important during choreographing. Kazaglis said, Some people might be better dancers or have more experience than others, but when we choreograph, it is a groups effort. lt does not matter whether you're a fresh- man or a senior. Everyone contributes. Everyone is there with her own ideas con- tributing to make a danoe.

Alec Lisec Summer Musical ' izffzas 'dz school? Musical provides entertainment and class credit he words summer schoo1 were often dreaded by many high school students, but for the 180 students in the Musical Comedy Work- shop, summer school was a good opportu- nity to have fun while becoming involved in theater, as OPRF students presented The Pajama Game. The summer musical, unlike the winter musical, was offered as a class for which students received one credit. Although every student in the class was ensured a place in the chorus, auditions were held for lead and dancing roles. Because the class was designed to introduce students to all aspects of the theater, each student was required to work on one of several committees: props, make up, programs, tickets, costumes or publicity. Committee work was often done after rehearsal and comprised one-third of a student's grade in the class for leads and one-half of the grade for chorus members. Chorus members practiced separately with choral director Mr. Robert Fuller while director Mr. l ames Eitrheim worked with the leads on stage. Later, both groups came together to work on a scene. The Musical Comedy Workshop was only a one period class, but rehearsal often con- tinued after class time. The leads often rehearsed into the afternoons.

The actors worked with directors Mr. lames Eitrheim and Mrs. loyce Pauley to communicate to audi' ences during the four shows performed. To effectively communicate, the actors and directors had to devote much of their time to rehearsals in the LT. The shows egan with casting, a difficult time for stu- ents and directors. l'd like to have ever- ybody suit the part but it's not possible, aid Eitrheim. Both directors said they ooked for combinations of people who ould work well together. After a play was cast, rehearsals began. Usually rehearsals lasted until 5:30 or :00, but the week before the show, they ften lasted until 8:00. Although much of he work, such as memorizing lines, was ery tedious, the directors made an effort challenge the students. Challenging and meeting that challenge is a theater terrific high, explained Pauley. Community members as well as other students found the actors successful in communicating to audiences. Many com- munity members, unrelated to the school, came to see the shows and often the house was completely full. Mrs. Mary Miley, a local resident who had attended many of the LT productions said, l find them all very good. I think the kids are terrific. For the actors, fulfillment came from com- municating to and moving the audience. According to Mrs. Pauley, There is a real high to being on stage. That moment on stage when you feel an audience is with you is really exciting. Iunior Anne Hart- mann agreed: The point of acting is to make people think, giving something to the audience that will hopefully change their feelings and leave them with some- thing they didn't have before. lt's fulfilling if you can tell you really affected even one person. -Sharon Balter the Philadelphia Story, Dinah, played by nore lulieanne Ehre, reveals a brewing scan- to her mother, played by junior Kris McLain.

The scenery and lighting, all prepared by the stagecraft crew, were now in place. Studio ZOO, always busy and productive, was about to open another one of its shows. Studio ZOO was an extension of the dra- ma program at GPRF. Studio ZOO, said senior leff Greenwald, 'lwas an educa- tional area for students - mostly inexperi- enced in acting - and an opportunity for them to enhance their acting ability. Ad- viser Mrs. Phyllis Kimmel said, We want- ed to reach as many students as possible, make them feel comfortable and give them chances in the drama program that they might not have in the other school plays and musical productions. Unlike the Little Theatre or the musical productions, Studio QOO had its own stage and performed all its plays in Room QOO where all the lights and other equipment were housed. Because of the stage being so close to the audience, students had to concentrate more on their performance ancl less on their body action. Senior Me- lissa Unglaub said, There were usually larger parts since there was a small cast Cin a Studio QOO playj and because of that, you really have to work on your acting skills because you're closer to an audi- ence. Another difference from LT was that Studio ZOO gave four students an opportu- nity to direct a play of their choice. There was more to being a director than just directing, said Greenwald. l'You had to learn the little jobs of duty like selecting and organizing the music, casting and in- structing the lights and props. The student directors were Greenwald who directed 'll Never Sang For My Fa- ther, Unglaub who directed the two short plays Impromptu and Overtones, senior Mike Kelly who directed Bleacher Bums, and senior Mark Gerrard who di- rected Agnes of God. Blithe's Spirit was directed by Mrs. Kimmel. Although Studio ZOO did not have much publicity because their plays were shown after school, the actors enjoyed a fair amount of audience support from their peers and teachers. Studio ZOO was not only for the inexpe- rienced but for experienced actors and actresses as well. Said Unglaub, 'Studio QOO was both a place for student directors and actors to grow and learn because of the much involved acting in it. Tunior Becky Ostertag said, You could really see how much time and effort all the ac- tors put in for the play Cul Never Sang For My Fathernl.

Yet the crew nut in many hours of work.

You se things like dowel rods, planks and aints and put them together to look like uch more. Crew sponsor, Mr. Greg auley, agreed: l really do get my artistic ratification out of doing props. Work on a show began by researching e time period a play takes place in so one of the pieces would be anachronis- c. But Goroff said, Mr. Pauley has in- redible knowledge of the different time periods so we haven't had to do a lot of research. The entire crew then worked to find and create props. Smaller crews worked backstage during performances, making sure the actors had what they needed. The props crew enjoyed their work and formed strong bonds. We're definitely a close group, said Pauley. We have to be. We're the one group within the the- ater department that's less recognized than the others. There's less gratification. We have to find our own. STAGE CREW An actor walked out on an empty stage and began to read his lines. The audience strained to hear his voice and see him on the dark stage. Without the work of one group of students, the stage crew, theatri- cal productions would lack a great deal. The stage crew was very important to all the school productions at OPRF. We do a lot of varied work, said adviser Mr. Mike Nielsen. We conduct the scenery, lighting and sound for all our school plays and also set up the stage for concerts and even do stagework outside of the school. Like publications, stage crew had to meet deadlines. Members had to finish building the set before a dress rehearsal. Because of the rigid deadlines, the stage crew worked before, during, and after school. There's really no pressure Cthoughlf' said senior Larry Goldwin, the sound crew chief. You're given a job to be done and you have to do it, he added. Stage crew was open to anyone in the school. According to shop foreman senior loseph Champelli, the only requirement was to be willing to work hard. Goldwin said, All you need is some kind of com- mon sense Cyou don't want to hit your thumb or fall down while workingj and you'll have a blast. -Dulce Soria -Sharon Balter V!! yuh ,K ...tv . .t,. , Members of the props crew gained practical ex- perience using tools.

Music is a life experience. We want to provide some hands on experience for students to help them develop to the limits of their talents. And indeed, students had opportunities to develop their talents. ln the curriculum, there were three orchestras, three bands, seven choirs, and Beginning Guitar, Rock to Bach, and Music Literature classes. Clearly, there was a place for anyone in- terested in music, regardless of previous experience. From beginning level and freshmen groups to high level instrumental and cho- ral groups, the music department offered a variety of opportunities for students. The Aeolian, Lyrian, and Apollo beginnin level choirs, as well as the Beginning Gu tar and Rock to Bach classes required nt previous experience. Ms. Anne Reisne director of the Aeolian choir, said enti level choirs develop and sharpen skills i sight reading and vocal techniques an get kids excited about music.

Carol Rush M r i Taking Europe by storm Both the A Cappella Choir and the Symphony Grchestra took trips to Europe to perform. The orchestra went to Italy and Austria over spring break in l985 while the choir planned to go to England and France in lune. The orchestra held two concerts, one in the Great Hall of Vienna, the other in Graz. Senior cellist Paul Westbrook felt the concerts in Eur- ope were a good experience: We got a .chance to perform in an almost profes- sional atmosphere with a professional so- loist. While in Vienna, the orchestra members stayed with families and per- formed with the choir from the academic high school there. Senior Amy Norton felt that music helped her to communicate with the family she stayed with. The mu- sic brought us together. l can't speak Gere man or ltalian, but when the girl l stayed with was singing in the choir, and l was playing, we could communicate.

Camarata Singers was comprised ot A Cappella members who showed proficiency in sight reading. Camarata member senior Helen Rubin said, You become more aware ot what's going on in music. You have to practice because we go through pieces more quickly. Sight reading is very impor- tant. Over spring vacation, the Camarata group was invited to attend a north central division meeting ot the American Choral Directors Association in Indianapolis to demonstrate techniques used in sight reading.

But every Saturday, from Novem- Der to February, members of the speech eam left early in the morning to compete n speech tournaments. Members compet- Ed in events involving dramtic and public peaking skills. The team got off to a rough start when dead coach, Mrs. loyce Pauley, had to :ake a sudden leave of absence. Assistant oach Mrs. Phyllis Kimmel took over in auley's place. lt was frustrating, said immel. The coaching came naturally but the paper work! Mrs. Kimmel was assisted by Mrs. Arlene Shefflein and 84 OPRF graduate Aurora Iasillo, Mrs. auley was also available to coach at ome. lunior Chris Perez said, lt was arder. I think it brought us together. eammate junior Anne Hartmann agreed: We had to lead ourselves for a change nd understand the pressure Mrs. Kimmel as under. For some students, like senior Mark errard, the competition was the at- raction to join. Hartmann joined because, 1 x It was just another facet of the drama department. Others joined because it was a dramatic activity for which there were no auditions. Not everyone gets to be in a play, explained Kimmel. Perez added, Speech team was something you didn't have to try out for. You could just go out and perform every weekend. Despite its rough start, the team had a very successful season. Eight members in seven events qualified for Sectionals and Hartmann was the state champion in Verse Reading. Whether they won or not, members felt Speech Team was a good experience. You learn poise . . . you can use that everyday, said Hartmann. Ac- cording to Perez, We were really close. I made a lot of friends. Kimmel echoed this feeling: We came home from Sec- tionals with only one winner but everyone was singing and cheering each other. We have to be close, to support each other. DEBATE TEAM Making choices about your thoughts, opinions, and values and really deciding what they are was what senior Ted Kraig felt was the most important aspect of the Debate Team. The team included students from all grades and focused on helping students speak more freely in public situa- tions, as well as helping them think things out logically. Debate team adviser Ms. Carol Roberts said the team helped build confidence in students by letting them de- fend their own views. Many of the Debate Team members were interested in a career in law. Many strategies and techniques were used in getting points across, which was excellent practice for future lawyers. lunior Tim Reed said, The Debate Team really let me get a feel for the art of persuasion, not only through words, but through body language and the way it is said as well. During practice sessions the Debate Team perfected skills by debating each other on topcis that were spontaneously thrown out to them by Ms. Roberts. This drill contributed to their ability to think on the spot, said Ms. Roberts. The team participated in about 15 com- petitions around the Midwest, in which they came home with first and second place awards in four of the events. Ms. Roberts added, The competitions really build confidence and spirit throughout the team and helps make great leaders for the future. -Sharon Balter - Meggan Lennon Debate Team Front Row: M.

Was lllinois Bell trying to reach out for more than just a phone call? Or was Student Council plagued with it, an epidemic of school spirit just itching to touch the rest of the student body? What- ever it was, students displayed their school spirit with high attendance at al- most every event. One way students expressed school spirit was by wearing the school colors. We encouraged people to wear orange and blue and have lots of positive feelings about school unity, said Student Council President Tim Clancy. Mr. Don Vogel, the adviser added, l'We had members who had been on council before and ones who had new ideas, so we had a good mix. One of the new ideas was holding two MORP dances. The first one was held in September, the night before the Oak Park vs. Fenwick football game. This singles dance helped students get psyched for the game. The Turkey MORP was held on the night before Thanksgiving, after the Thanksgiving Classic basketball game.

One was held the night before the Fenwick football game, the other was at the night of the Thanksgiving Classic basketball tournament. day before Homecoming. Student Council represented the stu- dent body by voicing opinions to the fac- ulty and administration. One issue the council presented to administrators was the previous ban on shorts. Said Clancy, We presented our arguments on the is- sue by telling them that not all parts of the school were air-conditioned and that it was extremely uncomfortable wearing pants on a 900 degree day. Student Council also pointed out that the Chicago Sun-Times rated OPRF as one of the ten best schools in the state and that the other nine top ranking schools allowed shorts. This proved, Clancy explained, that wearing shorts does not hinder the aca- demic air. By pressuring the school ad- ministration, the council succeeded in re- pealing the shorts ban. Of course, shorts guidelines had to be followed. ln one way or another, the council worked to make OPRF a better school. Whether it was at a pep rally, an assembly, or a dance before an important game, Student Council reached out for school spirit and received an abundance of it. -Dulce Soria Comparing notes, student council membe Georgia Schmit and Paula Escobar prepare for a upcoming social event.

YAC conducted surveys to earn how students felt about certain Sods, prices and new projects like the -ilad bar which was introduced in l984. The council worked to improve the quality of food, clean up and decorate the cafeterias, and modify the menu to in- clude specific ethnic foods. We also wanted to make students aware of the nutritional value in foods and how it is important for a person's state of health and mind, said adviser Ms. Sue McCann. The Compute Your Nutrition Program enabled students to learn the nu- tritional value of the food they ate. By feeding into the computer the food they ate that day, students were able to see what their nutritional needs were. Being involved in YAC does have an impact on what happens in the cafeteria, said Ms. McCann. lunior lean Bingen- heimer said, The cafeteria foods are good because they're cooked right. lu- nior Tecia Smith added, You get a full balanced meal and the prices are okay. -Dulce Soria N--.

Tau Gamma could have swered their plea then and they were ill helping 20 years later. As junior athy Gall said, Tau Gamma is just a uncil where girls are there and willing help others. Everyone is welcome to lp. The club had been in existence since l8, and its motto had always been hallenges met with the joy of doing. e girls lived up to this motto by aiding e community and the school. Some mmunity services performed were the od drive and the book drive. The girls llected and distributed supplies to fam- es in need. We have fun raising money r other people, said President senior rah Loughran. ln addition, a senior citi- rl zens' party was held in February, where the girls served cookies and coffee to the senior citizens. We learned how to deal with people. You realize you have to work together to get something accomplished, explained Loughran. ln order to plan the year's events, the sponsor for Tau Gamma, Miss Therese Brennock, invited the officers to her house two weeks before school began. At that meeting, they discussed ways to help peo- ple on a national and international level. One of these ideas was a money collection for Unicef. During the week preceeding Halloween, girls dressed in costumes and stood on the corners of streets and on the mall, asking for contributions. Other ser- vices, such as the Lions club and collec- tions tor Kiwanas peanuts, raised money for the needy. The most important experience girls gained from being on Tau Gamma was the joy of providing services for other people, said Miss Brennock. The girls found it to be rewarding. !'We help so many, l love it, said junior Kathy Gall. l love doing charity work, said President Sarah Loughran. lt's a lot of fun being on Tau Gamma. lt makes me feel as if l'm doing an important service. Tau Gamma really is a service club which does a lot of service for the community and the school, said junior Kathy Kay. Tau Gam- ma continued its services throughout the year. At the end of each year, the club saved money and donated it to a good cause. l unior Trish Brundage said, l real- ly think that it's a good experience to be on the club because it teaches a lot of leadership qualities. -Annie Chang Tau Gamma Szfmiefzzf affairs l n W3 lit Q Students delve into the problems of society S.A.D.D.

S.A.D.D. iStu- dents Against Driving Drunkl tried to con- vey this message to students through the activities they sponsored. They performed skits for the Friday Night Live Show in the River Forest Community Center about the peer pressure to drink and why driving and drinking do not mix. They planned to have a coroner talk to an all-school assem- bly about the dangers of drinking and driving. The club also visited different ju- nior high schools to establish a preventa- tive program. S.A.D.D. President lenny Marcus said, We wanted to get them when they're young. The club enjoyed a high degree of stu- dent involvement. lt Cenrollmentl has more than doubled, said sponsor Mrs. Pamela Neuner. Student participation helped to make the year a success. There was a more positive attitude and feeling in the club, added Marcus. This positive attitude prompted Marcus to rename the club Students For Driving Sober. We had a lot of kids in our meetings and so we had a little bit more fun, said Marcus. S.T.O.P. How much did you know about the nu- clear arms race? Did you know what to do in the event of a nuclear war? According to a survey taken by S.T.O.P. last year, more than 707: of the students said that they knew very little about nuclear war and weapons. What disturbed me the most, said S.T.O.P. President Chris Perez, was that the majority of the stu- dents said they had never been taught in depth about nuclear war. Student Teacher Organization to Pre- vent Nuclear War was an educational club that provided information about the arms race. The club talked about U.S. re- lationships with the Russians and spon- sored an education week COctober 17-195 called Peace with lustice Days. During those three days, they focused their atten- tion on the small countries like Guatema- la, Nicarauga and El Salvador which might be heading towards a nuclear war. Basically, we wanted to give more in- formation about nuclear war to the stu- dents, said Ms. Berg. Our immediate goal for the O.P.R.F. S.T.O.P. group was to make the school aware that we needed to teach more about nuclear war in our school. OPEN HAND lt's hard to have racial diversity exist unless you know the different cultures and their backgrounds well, said Open Hand President Michelle Burns. The Open Hand club worked to promote racial di- versity and understanding among stu- dents. As sponsor Mr.Wendell Smith said, Reduce the barriers of the various ethnic groups. To that end, Open Hand explored dif- ferent ethnic backgrounds by visiting high schools that were culturally and ra- cially different from OPRF, and museum exhibits of an ethnic nature. Open Hand also worked with other OPRF clubs. Members found working with other clubs helpful in their work for racial diversity by breaking down stereo- types. Said Vice-President luanita Parker, I found out that Tau Gamma Cfor exam- plel was not a sterotype that l thought it was. The club co-sponsored Battle of the Bands with Student Council, worked on a fundraiser for La Rabida Children's Hos- pital with Tau Gamma and sent represe tatives to the leadership conference. Although in the past, Open Hand mel bers had been all female and black, lv Smith emphasized that it was not a bla club. I would like to see different ethr backgrounds in the members bo- included! HUMAN AFFAIRS Were you one of those students w had an insatiable desire to learn m about the events that were happening the world? According to Human Affa CHAD club sponsor Mr. Michael Averba HA gave those students who were v interested in current events and politic place to discuss and debate about th views. The bloody and controversial aparth movement in South Africa, the race governor and the upcoming electi were a few of the issues they discuss We even discussed about the jukeb downstairs in the student center and h we felt about it, said junior Taw Blandford. Another problem discussed in HA world hunger. Senior Kristine Haugla was inspired by a YEH tYouth Endi Hungerl Conference she attended to fo a YEH group at OPRF. Said Haugla Our main goals were to educate peo about world hunger and to involve just the school, but the whole comrnun in donating to the movement. Although YEH was part of HA, t groups usually didn't meet together. B HA and YEH gave students an opportu ty to broaden their minds on the curre events of the world. Blandford said, ' helped to make me more aware of w was happening in the world and right our own community. -Dulce So ...t was-ww I . . gn .ya ' 'G is tl 1 . . i af' .P ' s? - sw? .

Suddenly, one student jumped up and exclaimed to his opponent. Hal l got you! You're dead! No, this wasn't in an Arcade Room. lt was in Room 199, where the Commodore Club met. We basically explore the operation of the Commodore 64 computer, said spon- sor Mr. Krass. The club was also designed for students to trade software, like games and words processors, with one another. Moreover, students were given a chance to write their own program. lunior Raiford Palmer said, Mr. Krass was helpful by aiding us with our own programs. Although members helped each other to better understand the computer, Palm- er advised that the club wasn't to teach you about computers or anything educa- tional. lt was mainly for a get together and fun. FOREIGN LANGUAGE HONORS SOCIETY Congratulacion! Bienvenida a la So- ciedad Honoraria Hispanicalu Bien- venul New members of the Spanish Hon- or Society and the French Honor Society may have been greeted with these words as they received their certificate of awards. The purpose of the Spanish Honor So- ciety, said sponsor Ms. Barbara Boyer, was to recognize outstanding achieve- ment in Spanish. ln order to be an eligi- ble member for the Doa Perfecta Chapter, students had to be in their third year Spanish level, recommended by the stu- dent's current Spanish teacher and no se- mester grade lower than a B. Getting in may have been hard, said Ms. Boyer, but Math Team Front Row: D. Garimella, L. Koch, I . Welgan, N. Goroff, S. Rao, E. lordan, Row 2: N. Lane, S. Thomas, P. Egan, l. Linhart, M.

The French Honor Society, sponsored by Mr. Meute, also had lifetime member- ship. Membership in the French Honor Society required a student to be in at least his third year of French, have A's in French for three consecutive semesters and have a B average in all other courses. Both prestigious societies were part of a National Foreign Language Honors Soci- ety. Membership in either society was helpful to students. They could report the award on college applications and on ap- plication for foreign language-oriented jobs. Hopefully, said junior Hilda Zun- iga, my being a member of the Spanish society will help me since l will continue taking Spanish courses in college. Induc- tions for both societies were held in the spring. MATH TEAM Square roots, functions, exponents and equations were nightmares for some stu- dents but sheer pleasure for others who were on the Math Team. Members com- peted against other schools in algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. There were no requirements for a student to be on the Math Team, but as sponsor Mr. Tom Oli- ver pointed out, Those who are motivat- ed to continue are usually A or B + honor students. These students competed once a month against five different schools out of the 35 schools in the North Suburban Math League. They also competed in the Regional and State Competition, in which they have placed in the top ten for the past five years. Sophomore Sanjay Rao believed the reason for their success was, We all have strong math backgrounds and we're all in advanced programs. The team members worked out prob- lems during their meetings in order to prepare for competitions. This not on helped the members to compete, but al helped the students practice all out ma skills, sophmore Matt Marjanovic said. addition, the preparation gave students chance to learn a lot more about mat ematical concepts, said sophmore R Siok. Mr. Oliver concluded, The who idea is to encourage them to go into math career or continue to do well cl math. JETS TEAM The lets Team was not just the Ne York football team.

Academic Groups I zzz' of 1561 world Students study the scientific method ASTRO-PHYSICS CLUB f l-lalley's comet didn't inspire astro- nomical enthusiasm then the chances were nothing could! The comet was a major event, making its first appearance since 1910. While scientists launched five fully equipped spacecrafts to monitor and photograph the comet, the Astro-physics Club planned to take a spe- cial trip downstate in order to see it. Besides seeing and discussing the com- et, the club conducted other activities. They visited the Alder planetarium in Chi- cago, listened to speakers, talked about astronomy, and watched films and slides on solar eclipses and comets. The club services members who plan to have a ca- reer in astronomy, said senior Moira Mc- donald. Club sponsor Mr. loe Meyer ex- plained, lt provides students with enough encouragement and background to study astro-physics. GREENHOUSE CLUB As the winter clothes were stored away and the weather began to get warmer, the Greenhouse Club members began busily working in the greenhouse. Throughout the school year, except in winter, the club members met once a week to go to the greenhouse, located two blocks from the school. There, the club members watered and fed their plants. During the winter months the club members participated in botany related activities. They went on field trips to the Garfield Park Conservatory, ordered planting equipment, participated in a bi- annual school sponsored flower show, and attended a plant equipment show. To raise funds, the club sold plants in the fall and the spring. Beside bettering their florist skills, many club members were hired by florists. Club sponsor Mr. Teclaw explained, lt gives them an application of their study of biol- ogy and a chance to develop skills. OUTDOOR ECOLOGY CLUB Biking, canoeing, backpacking, climb- ing frozen waterfalls, and caving were just some of the exciting activities that the out- door ecology club was involved in. The club became very popular because of its unique group trips, ranging from the caves of lowa to the mountains of Colora- do. Club adviser Mr. Ray Urbanski said that much of the success of the club came from the group's ability to work well to- gether. About 20 students belonged, of which about 757-J were girls. Urbanski said, Girls tend to do things that involve teamwork better than guys because they don't have a macho image to live up to, which accounts for the high number of girls in the club. Outdoor ecology club member lenny Schmitt said, 'lThe trips were rough, but they were really fun and left you feeling very accomplished. Plus, the friendships made while achieving a common goal are ones that will last a very long time. BIOLOGY CLUB Gne could think that the Biology Club would be full of intellectuals who slept with microscopes under-their pillows. Ac- tually, it was an exciting club that went on field trips and learned about the world around them by actually experiencing it, rather than just by reading about it. Co- sponsor Mr. Ray Urbanski said, HStudents actually see what goes on and they think wi. Science Clubs Working together helps get the job done. Mr. Norman Teclaw and sophomore Mark Guarino care- fully move the plants out of the greenhouse into the school to protect them from the winter cold. about the true aspects of the subject thej are studying and how it affects the worlcu rather than just thinking about it as home work. One of the places that the biology clul frequented was the Field Museum of Nat ural History in Chicago. l'The artifact and exhibitions of natural history make i easier to understand how biology affect: the environment, said senior Mark Rog ers. l unior Peter Paulon added, The Biol ogy Club made me aware of careers il biology, other than medical, that l hac never thought of before. POLLUTION CONTROL CENTER Starting out as only a telephone hotlin the Pollution Control Center had sinci come to be a very important part of ou school and community. As PCC membe junior Adam DeWeese commented, Th Pollution Control Center symbolizes wh! is important in our school and shows ou students' concern with the conservation our natural resources for the future. PC members also were interested in the env ronmental workshops that the club o tered. Students attended conference around the country dealing with the pro lems of our environment. ln a trip to Ci cinatti, some students had the opportunit to talk with Dr. Robert McNair, an astr naut who manned the space shuttle. O another trip, students went to the Kenn dy Space Center in Florida to see th shuttle take off. PCC president Nanc Goroff said, 'lThe trips let the students se a lot first hand that they ordinarily woul not have the chance to see. -Meggan Lenno -Tonitta Patric Astro-Physics Club Front Row: D.

Some students had no answer. But for oth- ers, such as career clubs members, the answer to that question was perhaps al- ready decided. VICA tVocational Industrial Club of Americal gave members more exper- ience in the fields of trade, industry, tech- nology, and health. VICA adviser, Mr. Stan Chapas said, It CVICAD prepares stu- dents for leadership in the world of work.' When VICA members weren't fund- raising, they were preparing for competi- tions by testing their knowledge and skill of industry, trade, technology, and health. They had the opportunity to better these skills by competing in 48 different local, state and national competitions. Although the club was only four years old, VICA won the Gold Plague Award in the national competition in Industrial and Occupational Safety. This was the first time an Illinois school had ever won this competition. President Anthony Young and junior Dave Kennedy went with Mr. Chapas to New Orleans to accept their award. I felt proud when I was accepting the award, said Young. 1 FHA! HERO For some students Home Economic meant just another credit. But for some FHA! HERO CFuture I-Iomemakers of America!

' Checking the paper for stock price increases and unfortunate decreases was an exciting part of being in the Investments Club. Clubs Of The Future memaking education, was comprised of two groups. To be a member of HERO, which emphasized job preparation, a stu- dent had to be at least 16 and had to have a homemaking related job, earning a total of four credits. HERO functions as a club and as a class, said Ms. Carol Dunn. The schedule varied from day to day. The club would spend one day on class activities, such as learning what to do an job interviews. The next day students might prepare for competitions. The re- gion rally had workshops which prepared the members for local, state and national competitions. The competitions give you self confidence, and it's fun too. I won first place once and it made me feel good about myself said junior Anna Pelucchi. Investments Club The American dream: to make a lot of money with as little effort as possible. For many wise investors, this dream came true. Mr. Lyle Weber's investments class was so appealing that an Investments Club was formed. The club was a group of students interested in learning how the stock market worked and how they could use this knowledge in the future. Mem- bers of the club often read the Wall St. Iournal to check up on their mock stock, which was stock they invested in as a contest to see who could make the most money by the end of the year. 'lBy investing in an imaginary market, the stu- dents see if they are the right type of per- son to get into the real market, said Mr. Weber. He added, The Investments Club helps students learn how to make wise decisions as well as providing a lot of fun! Architectural Design Club Living in a community where the work of Frank Lloyd Wright and EE. Roberts , 'insist mi- -I, , was prominent was a real treat for Archi- tectural Design Club members. Adviser Mr. Ray Urbanick said that the club fo- cused many of their activities on the loca architecture and history of the architects The club saw films on Frank Lloyc Wright's life and studied his homes, in- cluding his own home and studio in Oalf Park. Some members became so interest- ed that they volunteered to become tou guides for the public at Frank Lloy Wright's home. Architectural Desig Club member I.T. Cfarafalo said, Th strong affiliation the club has with th Wright home and studio makes our grou more aware of the different ways architec- ture affects a community by seeing th way Frank Lloyd Wright has made Oa Park residents proud of their neighbor- hood. Arts Club The Arts Club was comprised of a di versity of students that were either interl ested in entering a field in the arts oil wanted to learn more about art withou the pressure of a classroom situation. order to expose students to art, the cl went on many field trips. The Art Institi of Chicago, the Printer's Row artists are and a sculpture tour in the city we among the places they visited. The cl' also had Chicago artists share their ide of art with the students. Art Club advii Mr. Robert Kerr said, The club helps s dents open doors to different fields in i arts and learn how to get into them. T club also provided students in art clasi with information that let them be mc creative with their projects and comp hend the artistic ideas of others. -Tonitta Patri -Meggan Lenn 9' , Nb xr?-Q, 5 f .- .. ,J we J, 3 Q 5 y .

Every Wednesday afternoon, 20-30 stu- dents gathered in the library to participate in gaming . Under the supervision of Mrs. Peg Saecker, the club was organized and run by its members. Club president senior Francis Saunders felt, lt fthe clubl has changed a lot. I've done as much as l could to get it more organized. The students played a variety of games, from Trivial Pursuit to games with cards. Some students even invented their own games. Primarily, however, the members participated in role playing games. These games, including Top Secret, Diplomacy, and Dungeons and Dragons, required a lot of imagination and time. Some games took from three months to a year to com- plete. Saunders felt that students learned about life through role-playing games. To Sacker, however, the idea of the club was basically to have fun with each other. CHESS CLUB Knight to queen bishop five. This phrase may not have meant much to some, but to members of the state champi- on chess team, this could have been checkmate. First year adviser Mrs. Mari- anne Kelly said, 'lThe kids coach each other. The older more experienced mem- bers help the new players. The recent publicity given to the team as a result of their winning the state cham- pionship helped to increase club mem- bership. ln order to facilitate members' improvement, Mrs. Kelly arranged for the club to have membershp privileges at the Oak Park-Forest Park Chess Club. Club president senior Dave Hunter said, There are really good players there. Some of them are even master level, so we can learn a lot by playing with them. l get a lot out of the competition. Winning is great! MONOGRAM CLUB lust where was the monogram room and what did the club do? The club was open to any student with a varsity letter, including varsity members of non-athletic activities such as speech team. The Monogram room was a trophy en- circled classroom located above the field house. Under the supervision of Mr. lack Kaiser, the meetings consisted of a dozen members, including president lim Dono- van, discussing the responsibilities of the club. Each year they were responsible for the Homecoming Parade. They also sold jackets and donated the proceeds to var- ious funds. This is not like a normal club, explained Kaiser. These people are involved in athletics after school. This isn't their main activity. Generally, the members viewed the club as a supplement to their athletics. Our philosophy is, summed up Kaiser, we believe in the school. We try to help everybody. SPIRIT CLUB O-A-K-P-A-R-K, Oak Park, Yeah! After the enthusiastic cheering competi- tion at the first all-school assembly, the entire student body was invited to attend the first meeting of a new club. The follow- ing Friday morning, there were over 150 students, clad in orange and blue, at the Spirit Club meeting. The Spirit Club was set up to find ways of doing away with apathy and promoting enthusiasm, consideration, etc. in the school, said sponsor Mr. Doug Hunt. Hunt felt that the Spirit Club was not all the RAI-ll RAHl tied in with the athletic aspect of the school. It has a larger pur pose. Senior Deirdre Buckingham, clu president said, The club takes pride i the many diverse things that this soho has to offer. Hunt explained that in order to give recognition to less known accomplish ments, the Spirit Club instituted the Per son of the Week. A student or club tha did something special was made person o the week and had his picture displayed ir the student center display case. Bucking ham felt spirit club should give the whole school a good attitude! SCIENCE FICTION CLUB Reorganized with a new advisor, Mrs Sandra Price, the Science Fiction clu had about 20 members who met to discus club business, exchange information o upcoming sci-fi events, play improvisiona games, and watch videos. According t club president junior lean Linhart, Mrs Price has reall helped us to organize mee tins and sci-fi activities. Mrs. Price said l'm not a sci-fi freak. I'm a facilitator. help the kids become increasingly mor skilled at running meetings. The new organization of the club mean that the Dimension magazine, a collectio of short stories, poems, and art work, wa published twice. A newsletter of essays, information about sci-fi conventions, an book reviews were also distributed among members. The Time Warp was written and published by seniors Charles Thomp- son and Charles Green. At around 4:30, Mrs. Price called th meeting to a close.

Students guide the way RIDING CLUB sS he thrill of riding out in the open away from the city was one of the reasons that the riding club was so popular, according to club sponsor Mr. Mike O'Lonergan. He enjoyed work- ing with the students and horses because it provided a truly nonacademic aspect to the school, and a look at nature and a change of environment for students who basically were always in urban surround- ings, said O'Lonergan. Riding club mem- ber freshman Sarah Babcock said, The riding club has the benefit of the excite- ment of a sport but you don't have the pressure to compete as you do in a sport. The riding club went on eight trips last year in different areas of the midwest, from southern Illinois to the mid sections of Wisconsin. The club rode horses avail- able at the places they went to and went for day trips out in the countryside. The rides were an average of six miles per trip. Sophomore Chris Gurino said, The trips make the club unite and really help build strong friendships within the group. WONDERFUL LIFE CLUB Feeling alone and awkward in social situations was a common feeling among some high school students. The Wonder- ful Life club was an organization that helped students who felt this way get more involved and meet new friends. The club was based on the school's Low Incidence CLD program, but also included students in the regular school program. Most of the students outside the Ll pro- gram carne from psychology classes and were interested in helping students with special needs. The new Wonderful Life club adviser, Miss Mary Confrey said, The club helped enrich the numbers of friendships with students in regular school, and gave the handicapped stu- dents an opportunity to participate in some aspects of normal high school life. The club went to many school sponsored sporting events and activities. They also had many parties of their own throughout the year. Student aid, Mark Nakayama said, Working with the handicapped stu- dents is a very satisfying thing to do in that you can really see the progress the stu- dents make. Miss Confrey added, The success of the Wonderful Life club really shows how caring the students at OPRF really are. USHERS CLUB Walk this way, please, said the usher. Many people were greeted with this re- quest as they attended any one of the many school events. Students ushered for all music and drama productions, all alumni tours, and they helped with the PTO events such as Open House. Ushers helped the productions run smoothly as they took and tore tickets, handed out pro- grams, guided tours, and kept audiences quiet and orderly.

Adding a bit of style and spirit, Drill Team mem- bers seniors Betsy Farley, Colleen Rock, Orna Fiat, lennifer Hills, Dora Petrulis, Katy Cfies, and Brigid Eakin encourage the spirit of the day.

Suddenly they launched into carefully choreographed set of kicks nd gestures accompanied by props like vom-pons and spools. The Oak Park Drill team was doing their thing: performing, und promoting school spirit! Girls joined drill team for various rea- ons: to get involved, to promote spirit, to xperience a different form of dancing, or st to find something to be dedicated to. rill team members enjoyed the benefits f the experience. They performed in 'ont of crowds, worked with other peo- le, handled responsibility, were a major art of school spirit, and competed with ther schools. Those wishing to join drill team had to try out in the beginning of April in '85 Students had to perform a kick routine learned over two days, and a jazz routine learned the morning of tryouts. The girls who best demonstrated coordination, dance ability, body control, and projec- tion Ci.e. smilesj were selected to join the ranks of the drill team. Senior Kelly Schaus said, Try-outs are difficult and they put a lot of pressure on you. Smiling is one of the most important things. After tryouts the team attended Show- stoppers, a week long training session during summer at Eastern illinois Univer- sity. Drill team Officer senior Bess Tre- monto said, Summer camp is a crash course in pom pon for the new members. By the end of camp, the squad has learned to work as one. lunior Carolyn loiner added, When we went to camp it gave us the chance to work together for the first time and it brought the squad together. Drill team members had to work hard. Practices were held daily, either in the student center or in the fieldhouse. ln ad- dition, when competitions were approach- ing, members had practices on the week- ends. All of this practice paid off. At camp, they were awarded a Snappy Pappy' f doll for having the most l'snap , and a Superior rating for their kick and jazz routines. They later qualified for state competitions for pom pon and kick, and got to perform for a Chicago Bulls game and the Bear's first playoff game. Senior Kelly Schaus said, Performing at the Bulls game was a great honor. lt really made us feel a sense of accomplishment. Senior Bess Tremonto added, Hftheyj called us to invite us back to perform. They actually cancelled another perform- ing group so we could make another ap- pearance. lf we can impress a professional team, then that's the best compliment. ln addition to the team's success, there were several triumphs made by individual members. Paula Escobar, Lissa Druss, Orna Fiat, Donna Petrulis, and Dora Pe- trulis went to Florida to perform at Disney World and Sea World. Paula Escobar, Bess Tremonto, Donna Petrulis, and Dora Petrulis went to the Blue Bonnet Bowl in Fort Worth, Texas.

Room 306 was filled with about 30 students gathered to tell the edi- tor in chief, senior Dave Newbart, the de- tails of possible news stories. I-le wrote the ideas on the board along with notes from bulletins, Dr. Swanson, and press re- leases. All the story ideas had been listed and the editors assigned them to staffers on a volunteer basis. Everyone was anx- ious to begin work on the first Trapeze, especially loe Trap, a typical first year writer. loe Trap was nervous about all the work that was expected of him, but he plowed ahead and set up interviews with the peo- ple involved in his story. He wracked his brains to come up with good interview questions and a different story angle. As he started to compile his story, loe found that he needed to make a few call back interviews to check on his facts and to get more information. Finally he sat down and started to write. A few hours later, he stood up and triumphantly cried, Fin- ishedI He handed his story to his editor, only to have it returned covered with com- ments and red marks. About an hour 9 Trapeze!Newscene more for revisions and it was completed, except for sending photographers out for pictures. Once more, the story was in the hands of the editors for lay-out. Along with the relief of completing a story came a sense of accomplishment. According to editor Delarnie Thompson, The best part about being on Trapeze is the relief of turning in a good story after a week's worth of intense work. She ad- ded, l especially enjoy working on sto- ries that l'm really excited about, like my 'Reaching Gut' story on racial diversity. l was really proud of it. Editor Mike Kelly said, Trap is exciting because T gain a better understanding of the school and the people in it. l like getting feedback from other students.

Or were you mechanically incom- petent? If you answered yes to all of the above, then Newscene was not for you. Newscene members had to work hard each week in order to put on the half hour television show, which aired Thursdays after school on Cable Channel 21. The writers vividly described the week' events. People were tracked down for ir terviews, which had to be taped, althougl a few were done live. Anchors even wrot stories. That is how the pro's do it, ei- plained four year veteran Kevin Roy.

Did you write stories or poems and hide them in the bottom corner of your closet hoping that someday someone would brush away the dust, to discover your work and proclaim you the next Hemingway? Well, some students didn't wait to be discovered. They realized that the best way to be recognized for their work was to submit it to Crest Literary MGQGZIWUG. Mr. Doug Shepard, adviser of Crest, described the student body as having a substantial number of good writers. These writers submitted prose and poetry to be rated by members of Crest on a scale of one to four. The criteria for rating the manuscripts varied from staffer to staffer. Senior Deb- bie Fischer thought a good manuscript should contain fresh ideas. Editor-in- chief senior Beth Wood looked for good 9 Tabula! Crest language usage. Senior Leah Veeninga said she liked something that keeps my attention and also has a point. On the basis of these criteria, the staff rated the manuscript without knowing the author. The most important factor in eval- uation is the anonimityf' said junior Ann Hartmann. There's no bias when rating with anonimity, added senior Eric Cald- well. Because of the anonymous system, members of the Crest staff were allowed to submit their own work. The staffers rated and discussed each manuscript, and the winners were pub- lished in the Trapeze supplements and! or the Crest magazine. All of the works pub- lished by Crest were submitted to the an- nual Hemingway Contest that was judged by the English department. Perhaps the Crest staff will discover the next Heming- way. -Tonitta Patrick WS.

One went to his algebra room to ask last minute questions before taking a test that day. The other student went to the home eco- nomics department to use the sewing machine, avoiding the later-day crowds. Thirty minutes later, students hurried to get to their first period classes on time. The camera blurred and focused on an American history class, as students watched a movie on elements of the Civil War. Some students vigorously took notes while one student's mind wandered to the poster she was making in the Graphics Arts room for her geometry class. ln the now empty halls, a boy .quickly ran to catch a bus which took him on a geology field trip. The camera zoomed onto a college English student avidly typing a theme at 2:00 a.m. Typ- ing the wrong word, he swore and groped for the white-out. The camera blurred and focused. A student handed her dean a completed college applica- tion. She felt a tinge of excitement followed by a surge of nervous anxiety about college plans. The picture faded and reappeared. It was the first period of final exams. Students sat in testing rooms, pouring out all their knowledge. Panic feelings were experienced by many students as they wondered if they had studied enough. Hundreds of scantron sheets were passed out and turned in, some were accompanied by es- says.

Many slept, watched T.V., or headed to the beach, but some students saw such films as Romanc- ing the Stone or African Queen. lt wasn't at the Lake Theatre, but in Mr. Robert Kerr's History of Film class. This course was one of the var- ious classes offered to over 1200 stu- dents during summer school. There was a wide variety of classes for students to take, ranging from English to dance. Students also had different reasons for enrolling in summer school. Some had to make up a failed class, while others want- ed to get ahead. lunior Margaret Showel said, lt's a good time to get your easy classes out of the way, be- cause you don't want a lot of home- work in the summer. By taking summer school, stu- dents could also take classes that weren't offered during the regular school year, such as Musical Com- edy Workshop or Field Biology. I loved teaching the class, said Mr. Ed Radatz, who had taught Field Bi- ology for the past 15 years. lt gives students a wonderful opportunity to get first hand experience, said Ra- datz. Sophomore Karen Glienke said, I benefited a lot from it. I learned a lot more about our envi- ronment through this course than l could by just reading about it in a classroom. A new class offered last summer was Oral History: World War ll, taught by Mr. Thomas Tegge. He felt that since it was an elective, the stu- dents who were there wanted to be there and were not there just for the credit. The course included visits from people who had actually lived through World War ll who related their experience to the class. Mr. Tegge said, lt was the best course l ever taught in my life. Many freshmen got a head start on adjusting to the school by taking classes. Freshman Sarah Scott said, l got used to the building and met a lot of nice people. Of course, there were some com- plaints. Although students had to spend a miminum of two hours a day in school, they still had to learn a semester's worth of work in six and a half weeks. lt was hard to learn combining three class periods a day, said sophomore Becky l-lays, and it could get boring at times. Students also complained about get- ting up early. Being in school at 8:00 and not being able to leave un- til l2:30 was the worst part, said sophomore Katie Sieck. Mr. Michael Campbell, first year director of the summer school pro- gram, enjoyed his new position. The cooperation among the faculty and students was outstanding. Teachers who were there were there because they wanted to teach, said Campbell. There were many unique oppor- tunities students took advantage of during the summer. Whether it was picking up a new dance step or see- ing some classic films, students not only earned credit, but also had a good time. As sophomore Erin Grennan said, lt was a good way to spend my summer. l met a lot of people and had a great time. -Maria Duda learning.

One of the new classes, Ad- vanced Topics in Health, began be- cause, We felt a need to expose students to all that was going on in the field of health, said teacher Ms. Sharon Storandt. The advanced one semester course was more special- ized than the regular health course. We deal with things more relevant to society and the student's future as a consumer, said Storandt. She ad- ded, There are students who are definitely interested in a health ca- reer and this class helps. For students interested in continu- ing with psychology, Mr. Tom Gra- ziano taught a new one semester ad- vanced psychology course. The reg- ular psychology class was more of an overview of the field. Yet when polled, 80? of students enrolled in the class wanted more. Senior Kelly Woulfe took the advanced class be- cause, l wanted to continue study- ing various aspects of psychology. Senior Lisa Bradley said, l liked regular psychology and Mr. Gra- ziano inspired me, so I continued. Advanced psychology examined what people were doing in the field and discussed certain topics that stu- dents were more likely to get into. The course also involved guest speakers, more projects, and a lot more writing, but Graziano felt more changes would take place as time went on. Another new class, Newscene, named after the student-produced cable T.V. show, was introduced. Newscene had been on the air for four years, and in April, 1985, had begun taping live when teacher Mr. Don Lennie felt, It was time to start it up as a class like Tabula and Tra- peze. Newscene students, like oth- er publications, received M credit for a semester. It used to be only the production group who met together, but the class then included the writ- ers and reporters as well. Senior leanne Hardy liked the classroom atmosphere because, You get a Mr. Tom Graziano's humor livens up any classroom. Because ol enthusiastic lec- tures, students showed an interest in an ad- vanced psychology course. Many aspects go into producing a News- cene show. Director Martin Baumgaertner checks the sound on the video before the show is cablecast. 0 0 New Classes broader view of everything that is going on. The writers don't just write, they also see how it is pro- duced. A new preliminary mathematics course, Topics in Advanced Math- ematics, was taught by Mr. Greg Neumer. The class was started for students who had taken calculas be- fore their senior year and wanted to continue with math. Yet, only two students, seniors Eric Eisenberg and Heather Hinds, were a part of it last year. As a result, the class became an independent study: the students met with Mr. Neumer during their free periods. Mr. Nuemer felt that more students would join in the coming years. Statistics imply that the numbers Cof advanced math stu- dentsl will increase, he said. The changing curriculum at OPRF and the advanced study in popular topics gave students the chance to explore more deeply the subjects which may lead to future careers. -Rachel Brown .ui .I ,I pl S. xl 4 ..'.-Y .fkia P1 gr -'S' ,lvs., - ...

At OPRF, regular meant not basic, not honors, but in the middle. Being in the middle sometimes had its ad- vantages, but it also brought contro- versy and criticisms. Students were placed in classes according to test scores, teacher judgements, and previous class per- formance. As Associate Principal for Pupil Instruction Donald Otfermann said, Ulunior high teacher recom- mendations have proven to be the best and most reliable source for stu- dent placement. Obviously, students who were in regular classes had less work and demands than students in honors classes. There's not as much pres- sure, said junior Michele ledlicka. You don't move through the mate- rials as quickly. Regular students, however, sometimes weren't able to attend special assemblies or field trips. You don't get as many advan- tages as an honors class, and you don't get the same special attention as in a basic class, said junior lulia Huff. English teacher William Lo- vaas disagreed. l-le felt that enough attention was given to students from Trying to master concepts in algebra, this student asks math teacher Lois Goldstein for some explanations. Although electronics is a regular class, it requires special high-tech skills. Freshman Elmer Venson and junior Quaison Crosby show their skills while working on a computer program. 10 Regular Classes all course levels, but the students in regular classes don't get as much special attention. Lovaas also ad- ded, Every teacher ideally tries to give each class the same amount of attention, but inherent to the track- ing program is the fact that students at both ends are going to receive additional help and have additional needs. Another criticism of regular classes was the size of the class. As Lovaas said, Many times, students don't receive individual help be- cause the class is so big. lunior les- sica Atwood, however, felt that the students get the same amount of attention in a regular class as in hon- ors or basic. Prompted by these concerns, the Board of Education acted and this previous spring recommended that the needs of the average student be a priority for the 1985-86 school year. NCA tNorth Central Associ- ationl also echoed these concerns. The report stated, We hope the commitment to excellence includes taking each student as far as possible towards his or her potential . . . Dr. Larry Walker, Associate Principal criticism. l think they were im- pressed with OPRF, but there was still room for change. As a result, a committee was formed, comprised of students, parents, faculty, and ad- ministration. The committee studied the issue of the needs of the average student, and would make recom- mendations based on these studies. In addition, a program called TESA CTeacher Expectations and Student Achievementl began last year headed by psychology teacher Tom Graziano and English teacher Karin Urban. ln the program, teach- ers were trained to use specific sup- portive and motivating techniques with all students. As Graziano said, lt CTESAD will help all kids because it expects all students to be account- able. It attempts to give an opportu- nity in the classroom for every- body. l-le also added that TESA gives students a chance to re- spond, to think, and to question. So whether or not regular track students wanted extra attention, they got it. Through committee recom- mendations and the TESA program, regular students found that being in the middle didn't mean being ig- ry A for Pupil Sercices responded, l don't think it CNCA evaluationl is a nored. -Cindy Corti 'Tu 2 'W vau- ,409 t .WRMNNWN i NNN 'T Annie Brinkman '1 I . 6 W2 is t ? - . 55' smear, X -'4'Y5':c'7l 7 it NIT' t 9 1.3 in , . nu ts -,wsu W ' l sf env wh: nr' t. + :xt1L'G 'N Donna DelVe-cchio I mm - f 1 tiris f . is ,QbNN, it 352214532333 NN,N Q Iilgilii W,:, Q ....

Students pick from many electives ere you worried about what colleges to apply to? What your major would be? Or did you just want to learn some gen- eral knowledge? OPRF tried to help students find a direction by offering them varieties of electives from which to choose. In order for OPRF to offer these specialized classes, there had to be an adequate student demand for them. fn the past, classes had to be discarded because of lack of student interest. An example of this was En- ergy, which was a course dealing with natural resources and alterna- tive sources of energy. f have nev- er seen a course dropped that stu- dents liked, said chemistry teacher Al Bourey. OPRF had always changed its electives in order to benefit the for- ever changing needs of students. Students in high school are in a transitional point. I think we're re- examining things Celectivesj that stu- dents before didn't want to take, said Bourey. ln recent years the chemistry department brought back introductory chemistry, which in- volved a small amount of math, that hadn't been taught for many years. Though students took electives for college preparation, they also took electives for general knowledge as well. They need to explore other areas. Students here should get a liberal education, said English Head Brenda Schnede. One elec- tive offered was music history. Since I play the flute l needed to know the origin of the music l play so I took music history, said junior lean-Claire Fitschen. I Another reason for taking elec- tives was for enjoyment. They Celec- tivesj give me a break from all of my academic stuff, said senior Nancy Goroff. fn addition, there were al- ways students who took electives for an easy credit. l feel that many students take electives because it of- fers good opportunities to dabble in courses that they Qstudentsj find per- sonal interests in, said junior Mar- garet Lehmann. Elective classes were constantly changing but they always managed to add a great deal of richness to our curriculum, Schnede said. -Linda Flo il. Electives i.

As Associate Principal for Pupil Instruction Donald Offermann said, If you do it Cteachl right, it's tough work. I-lomework, demanding students, and other everyday occurrences could lead to stress and possibly teacher burnout. OPRF, however, provided many op- portunities for teachers, so as to avoid - or at least minimize - stress and eventual burnout. One alternative available to teachers was to go on a sabbatical. This was a one or two semester leave from school that teachers could request after teach- ing seven full-time years. If the sabbati- cal was granted, teachers would re- ceive one-half of their salary while they travelled, went to school, or did any- thing that would enhance their profes- sion.

Some teachers requested and bene- fited from counseling. As a result, the Employee Assistance Program CEAPD was brought to OPRF. EAP was an out- side agency established by the Board of Education that the faculty could con- tact to help solve personal problems for both themselves and their families. Physical fitness even became a major factor in dealing with teacher stress. Aerobics, exercise, and yoga classes were offered after school for the facul- ty. Offermann said, lf you're physical- ly fit, you use your talents better. Teachers agreed. The classes are something to look forward to all day. You work with your body, and your head doesn't work at all, said Elaine Roth, media department head and ex- ercise program director. Relaxation for teachers ranged from reading a book to a vacation in Austra- lia to vigorous exercise. But whatever the method, relaxation was a necessary element in avoiding teacher burnout. -Cindy Corti Taking a break from his normal routine, English teacher Mr. Daniel Reichard displays his poise and gracefulness while teaching his humanities class. 4 At an early morning Spirit Club meeting, president Deirdre Buckingham and adviser Mr. Douglas Hunt discuss the agenda for the meeting.

Students shuffled into the classroom, expecting the usual old routine of listening to a lecture and trying to sleep through first period. But that day something was different. There was a strange person - a sub - sitting at the front desk. Students smiled maliciously, as ideas began to form in their mind. The bell rang, students sat in the wrong seats. Paper airplanes and spitballs flew through the air while the substitute tried to take atten- dance . . . Fortunately, the real job of a substitute was far from the ster- eotypical day described. As substi- tute Ms. loan Donahue said, Stu- dents at OPRF are well-behaved and easy to teach. l really enjoy teaching here. Students' views of subs ranged from a refreshing break from their normal teacher to a more negative attitude. Sit in different places so the teacher doesn't know who you are and try to get away with as much as you can, was the plan one anon- ymous student had for dealing with a sub. Most students, however, had a less severe reaction to substitutes. I respect subs because they have a hard job to do, and l'm not going to go out of my way to mistreat them, said sophomore Valerie Mulhall. Other students agreed, as sopho- 3- - , Substitutes 'buf' more Brandon Fox added, Subs can be O.K. lt's a nice break from the normal routine. According to Don Offerman, As- sociate Principal for Pupil lnstruc- tion, The ideal sub lives nearby the school, can be here in five minutes and is highly qualified in many areas, so that when the teacher is absent the class would go on nor- mally. This, however, could be dif- ficult. When the teacher had a planned absence, subs were notified in advance, and teachers had a choice of substitutes. lf a teacher be- came suddenly ill, or an emergency arose, subs were not notified that they would be teaching until the night before or sometimes not even until that morning. Subs for OPRF were classified into different educational areas, but in emergencies they were used in other subjects. A common complaint among students was that subs did not seem to be qualified in the sub- jects they were teaching. All the subs seem to have a major in a sub- ject different than the one they're teaching, said sophomore Christie Donaker. lunior Howie Schlacks said, Subs try to get the job done, but sometimes they don't have enough knowledge on the class ma- terial and so the period ends up be- 49: There are times when substitutes re- place a teacher for more than just one day.

We're a necessary evil, joked sub lim Ros- sow. l have to be tough and really hard sometimes because the stu- dents just don't know you, said sub- stitute Shapiro Holleman. Another thing that bothered subs was always having different students, and not being able to know one class very well. lt was more fun and reward- ing working with one group of stu- dents, said substitute Sue Parker. Substitutes sometimes also had to put up with the get-the-sub game in class, but as lim Rossow said, Students get away with what l let them get away with. Even with all the negative points of the job, substitutes still enjoyed their work. I think it's better to be a sub than a regular teacher. l get to see new people all the time and the kids are great. The schedule flexibil- ity is another good part of the job, said Rossow. Other subs also liked the flexibility. Parker said, l didn't want to work full-time and substitut- ing gave me the opportunity to teach. She also added, I get to meet a variety of students, and teach a wide variety of classes. ln other words, I never get bored. lt was 3:20. Despite the absence of the teacher, the class continued, as usual, with the aid of a substitute. The class worked quietly while the sub helped a student. The bell rang, ending a typical day of a substitute. -Maria Duda ws. Xxx Bock to the future I-'rom the 60's to the 80's avey I ones, Ziggy Stardust, and the Thin White Duke were some of the many faces portrayed by one of the well-known pop singers of the past two decades, David Bowie. What did David Bowie have in common with OPRF? Bowie, like the courses offered at OPRF, has gone through many changes through the years: so did many fads, -lifestyles, teaching techniques, and rules. The changes reflected the changing needs and attitudes of so- ciety. In the early sixties, many rules at OPRF, like dress codes, were ex- tremely strict compared to the pre- sent. Course content was also sub- stantially different. Students were told weekly to memorize poems as well as songs such as The National Anthem. I didn't know the three stanzas of The National Anthem, said English teacher Daniel Rei- chard. Students were learning mate- rial which teachers themselves wer- en't required to know. Toward the late 1960's-early l97O's, students wanted more free- dom and more meaning. Everyth- ing had to be 'relevant' to the stu- dents' livesp the kids were the sub- ject, but the material was not, said Reichard. The teachers would often conduct rap sessions, which were simply open discussions in class- rooms. The sessions didn't necessar- ily pertain to the subject of the class, but to the students' individual lives. The sessions were good because, People were willing to risk a lot more in terms of what they were go- ing to say, said English teacher l. Oldest Classes Marlene Spicuzza. The sessions had a negative side as well. lf you think about yourself too long and too hard, you get depressed, said school administrator Don Offer- mann. Since the students were con- centrating on themselves so much, the school atmosphere began to drift away from learning the material which was being taught. In the late 7O's, students started to become more concerned about their grades again. This trend con- tinued into the 8O's. You have to specialize early because jobs are be- coming more scarce, said Spi- cuzza. Students learned more tech- nical skills, such as computers, in the 80's than in the 60's when the em- phases was on liberal arts. Also, in the 8O's, students seemed to be more comfortable with each other. Relationships with teachers and students have improvedg l'm really much more flexible now, said Rei- chard. The administration reflected the 80's in their new policies, too. Weighted grades and the privilege to wear shorts are new changes that will affect future students, said ju- nior Padma Rao. ln addition, Fresh- man Advisory helped recent stu- dents become better acquainted with the school. They will use it more efficiently for future activities, said junior Lynne Dallafior. lust as a new face of Bowie reflect- ed a change from the 60's to the 8O's, so did the OPRF administra- tion, faculty, and students. 1 Linda Flo Chemistry has changed immensely in the past twenty years and Al Bourey is always changing his experiments to try to make the class more enticing. lunior Spiro Kourtessis patiently awaits the outcome of the experi- ment on electrons.

One student spent part of her free time learning and playing on the piano the theme song from the movie Against All Odds. Another student sat quietly in XP's art room drawing comic strips. Though students were able to work on these and other activities, XP was also a place to learn how to grow emotionally and mentally. XP was, in fact, a school within a school, according to XP head Ms. ludith Kolokoff. It was a program de- signed for students who could learn better in a less structured and more personal environment. Kids have more to say about how the program is run, said Kolokoff. XP was differ- ent from the traditional school pro- gram because in here, we don't do a lot of writing and I like that, said senior Veronica Parker. Also, When you're verbally learning, it 116 XP sinks in more than having a book thrown at you, said senior lill Dun- can. Though XP sometimes had a burnout image, said senior Mi- chelle Loughnane, many of the par- ticipants were serious students. Stu- dents didn't have a lot of writing to do, though they still took tests like students did in the traditional pro- gram. One test taken by students in XP was the Briggsmeyer test, which showed howthe students related to other people and how their logic worked. The results of the test showed that some of the students in XP were intuitive and because of a lack of self confidence, they had difficulties answering questions in a traditional classroom. XP's relaxed surroundings and close personal re- lationships between students and teachers helped students overcome these difficulties. Theres much more one-on-one Cstudent and ' 'Ms' 'A teacher relationshipj in XP, said Kolokoff. You get to know teachers as people, said Loughnane. Along with a more relaxed atmo- sphere, XP included much parental involvement, less competition, and attempts to make students identify who they are, said XP teacher lim Walwark. Parents and teachers met often to discuss how the students were progressing. All of the courses in XP were pass! fail so there was no competition with grades. XP will always be in a flexible state of trying new ideas and follow- ing through with these plans. De- spite the changes, some aspects of XP will remain the same, such as the informality and the demand for re- sponsibility. Although XP will always be a changing program, it will still strive for its goal - freedom with re- sponsibility, said Walwark. -Linda Flo 'X Hard work comes with the job of being XP's head, as Ms. l udy Kolokoft demonstrates by looking over administrative work.

Students learn skills for the future ears ago when the first Model T was built, the age of technol- ogy had opened its doors to another means of transportation. Sixty-eight years later, technology has been developing very rapidly, and the OPRF vocational depart- ment has kept up with the ever- changing society in which we live. This department has a bigger frame of mind than just helping kids get a job after high school, said department teacher Mr. Robert Gauger. In the vocational department, stu- dents learned how to deal with the changing society and its technologi- cal needs. Consumer auto was a class designed to teach students how to survive with transportation, automobiles, and also how to avoid fraud, said Gauger. Senior Ienny Upton said, At first, I was intimidat- ed by all the guys in the class, but you learn so much. You learn to rely on yourself and l'm learning some- thing l thought l'd never have an interest in. Power I taught about the maintenance and care of lawn mowers. As junior Erika Fitzgerald said, It was a relaxed atmosphere. You didn't need to take notes like a regular classroom. You worked with machinery and sometimes you would get your hands really greasy. Staying informed about new inno- vations was important. Being one of the teachers, said Gauger, I had to stay continuously alerted to changing things. I read the newspa- per to keep up with the advancing technology. Keeping up with the technology increased the students' awareness of new ideas approach- ing them in the future. Gauger would inform his students of these new ideas to help prepare them for a possible future career in a specific field. The vocational department con- sisted of other fields besides the automotive. In an Electronics class, students learned skills in basic elec- tricity. Another class, Woodworking, developed the students' skills in the use and care of hand tools. The class introduced the students to trades and professions associated with con- struction. Students generally had positive feelings about their vocational classes. There are different jobs than just lawyers and doctors. I want to go into computers and I think it is a good idea to take classes in this department, said junior Kevin Downs. Senior Ellen Barnard said, I brought my car in and changed the oil myself. I was on cloud nine. Senior lenny Upton reflected, I would definitely go on in the future, taking other classes in this depart- ment to keep up with the building technology. If you don't keep up or even know a little bit of everything, you'll be lost. -Annie Chang Kathie McNelis A tense moment for senior Brian Young- dahl, as automotive teacher Mr. Robert Gauger concentrates on fixing a part from a car engine.

While much of the Special Educa- tion program remained the same last year, new and different opportuni- ties and policies were also intro- duced. The I..ow Incidence Program, one of the three sections of Special Edu- cation, dealt with multiple-handi- capped students. Through the Low Incidence program, a vocational program was started to help those students get jobs. Teachers, an oc- cupational therapist, a speech thera- pist, a social worker and program coordinator decided what L.l. stu- dent would be best suited for a spe- cific part-time job.

The pro- gram was designed to acquaint spe- cial-needs students, parents, and faculty with the services available at colleges and universities. We sent a letter to almost every college in Illinois who had a reading lab or tutorial center or a writing lab- something different or special, said Special Education teacher and col- lege night coordinator Pam Neuner.

These activities were all part of the Freshman Advisory CFRADJ pro- gram. Once a week, every freshman gave up one of his study halls and attended FRAD, a class designed to aid the freshmen in adapting to a new school. Many changes were made in the program, in order to better help the freshmen. Only nine teachers taught the class, instead of the previous 30. The teachers are more involved with their students, and it helps the Freshman Advisory group feel more like a class, said FRAD teacher Mr. Donald Hopkins. Freshmen elec- tions were also handled in the Fresh- man Advisory class, unlike in pre- vious years when they were held in A-periods. This has greatly in- creased freshmen involvement with the school, said FRAD director Ed Radatz. Big Brothers and Big Sisters were an important factor in aiding the freshmen. The upperclassmen of- fered a peer's view of the school. ln addition to just attending the class, these juniors and seniors also led ac- tivities in the program, such as tours Peanut Butter River , a game in which the group as a whole was only allowed three steps to cross the river, is one of the cooper- ation activities in which the freshmen partici- pate. lay Gandiner and lohn Beardan carry Stacey Marszalek across the river.

Once I learned everyones name and things about them, it be- came even more enjoyable for me. Freshmen had mixed feelings about the program. lt can be fun, said Teri F ritsma. It's helped me adjust to a new school, added Lin- da Koch. Pia Allabastro said, lt helps some, but since l've been around the school many times be- fore, the tours didn't really show me anything. Some freshmen did not find the class to be helpful. lt's a total waste of a study hall, said lessi- ca Gibbins. Big Brother Henry King, however, had a different attitude: lf the freshmen gave it a chance, they would get a lot out of the class. Big Brother senior Kevin Roy agreed: I wish I had FRAD as a freshman be- cause l'm learning things about OPRF as a senior that l never knew before. Throughout its three years of exis- tence, Freshman Advisory had gone through many changes. Its main goal, however, was still the same: to help the freshmen adjust to the tran- sition from grade school to high school. -Maria Duda Heather Kadlec 'R sim isa: LHR! 4 .,-xg ,,....4! r-A-4 I Serena Eng O 0 0 0 o 0 0 0 O O 0 O I 0 0 0 One of the goals of FRAD is to get fresh- men involved. ln Mr. Radatz's class, Christa Berg, lames Pennington and other freshmen listen attentively as senior Loren Bell explains the activity of the clay.

Guest speakers informed and entertained OPRF students and faculty, providing new perspectives and broadening views. Some guests were OPRF gradu- ates honored for their excellent ca- reer achievements. Two of the peo- ple awarded at the Tradition of Ex- cellence assembly spoke individual- ly to smaller groups after the cere- mony. Kenneth Douglas was award- ed for his excellence in the business field and spoke to interested busi- ness students. Senior Kerri Rokin said that Douglas motivated her not to give up. l want to make sure, Rokin said, that in college l am able to get good grades. Edith Heal Ber- rien won the award for her excel- lence in literaturefeducation. Among her advice to students was encouragement. Nlf you write poet- ry, Berrien said, you should start sending it to the publishers now. Senior lngrid Teclaw was impressed with Berrien's development. She acted as an influence by relating her experiences, said Teclaw. At the annual Dr. Martin Luther King lr. assembly, talk show host Qprah Winfrey spoke to students about the need to alleviate hatred between the races. She used inter- esting experiences in her own life that related to Martin Luther King lrfs dream, said sophomore lu- lieanne Ehre. Some speakers came through the various academic departments' gift- ed programs to give an extra boost to learning. Robert Bly, 1968 Nation- al Book award winner, and Gian- franco Pagnucci, an American poet and educator, gave a dual poetry reading in the Little Theatre. They used the aid of slides and instru- ments in the reading of poems. Former US. Senator for the state of lllinois, Adlai Stevenson, chose QPRF to announce his candidacy for governor. After his presentation, Stevenson answered student gues- tions, spoke to major Chicago T.V. networks and newspapers, and gave interviews to Newscene and Tra- peze. l thought Stevenson was an intelligent, thoughtful and caring in- dividual who has good ideas he wants to put forth but lacks skills to make him a dynamic speaker, said senior Kevin Roy.

Creative students were still working in the graphics room. Librarians still helped diligent students with their junior themes. So what was new in the library if these traditional things remained? Many things were new. ln previous years, the OPRF me- dia center used a pass system, re- quiring students to present a pass from a teacher and a student ID be- fore they could enter the library. Last year, however, the media cen- ter put a new library system into ef- fect. Students signed a sheet of pa- per before entering the library, which eventually was returned to each study hall. There were three main reasons for the change in poli- cy, said Ms. Elaine Roth, media center department head. The first was to make the attendance process hassle free for the librarians: they no longer had to check every student's Media Center lD and pass, a time consuming job. This system also helped study hall teachers with attendance. They no longer had to check or give passes to students. Instead they were given a list of their students in the media center. The new system also helped students, for they no longer needed to bother teachers for passes. ln ad- dition, the library became open to whoever wanted to use the facilities. ln the past, students occasionally found that they could not get a pass from teachers to the library. The library should be open to everyone, regardless of the fact that they do or do not have a pass, senior Kevin Roy said. I , Along with the new pass system in the media center, there was a new computer lab which differed from the math and business computer labs because any students could use it, regardless whether or not he was taking classes in these specific de- partments. Students could type out Although many changes took place in the media center, traditional things did remain. lunior Iudith Troyer looks through books in the library's fiction room. 0lolo.I0'lsl0 programs, write papers, or just enjoy themselves. I came here because I need help to prepare for the SAT'S, junior Paul Schumann said. For the first few weeks of school, stu- dents used the computers to play com- puter games. This proved to be disrup- tive to other working students, though. A rule was soon put into effect, stating that students could not play games in the lab. Kids came in here who did not know how to use computers. They were abusive to the equipment, senior Erik Peterson said. Along with the new rule and com- puter lab, there still was the traditional part of the library where students did homework, read periodicals and re- searched papers. The graphics art room still accomo- dated students with the supplies to visu- ally display any subject. The new addi- tions merely enhanced the media cen- ter, providing new resources with less hassle. -Caroline Waldron The Micro Computer lab was helpful to Ray Urbanski's biology class.

One way was to attend the many different spe- cial assemblies held throughout the school year. The programs varied from paying tribute to those who ex- celled to getting psyched for a game. During the all-school pep rally held at the beginning of the year, the entire student body gathered in the field house. We really got the spirit going, said sophomore Amy Deptuch. Presentations from Stu- dent Council and other organiza- tions were featured, along with the class competition for the spirit stick, which the seniors again won. Different subject areas had their own assemblies. The English depart- ment sponsored a Robert Bly poetry reading and a Boston Shakespeare Festival performance. Despite some complaints about the lack of seats in the Little Theatre, most students en- joyed the program. l liked the way Robert Bly could get you into the poemp he didn't just read - he acted them out, said sophomore Laurie Blanco. The performance of Mac- beth was also enjoyed by students. Even though it wasn't really clear at some parts, the acting was energetic and overall it was good, said junior Doug Elsass. Other schools also attended spe- cial presentations at OPRF. The Na- tional Troubadour dance troup per- fomed German songs and dances for OPRF students and students from other schools. Senior Deborah Fisher said, They were such good performers that they made the audi- ence want to get involved and During the Honors Assembly, the top five percent of juniors and top fifteen percent of seniors were awarded membership to Cum Laude.

One such occasion was a presentation about sexual abuse. All students at- tended the program during their gym periods. Some assemblies were annual events. During the Memorial Day Assembly, the entire school gath- ered in the stadium to pay tribute to war veterans. Mr. Wes Kott of the business department delivered the address, and the A Cappella Choir, along with the Wind Ensemble, pro- vided music. At the annual Dr. Mar- tin Luther King lr. assembly, the special guest was Oprah Winfrey. Also, senior Leslie Purham, winner of the oratorical contest, presented the winning speech, and the Gospel Choir, under the direction of Mr. lim Wiggins, performed. Sophomore Iu- lieanne Ehre said, I really liked the way that it brought people of all races together and expressed that everyone is equal. Tradition of Ex- cellence was another annual pro- gram, in which past OPRF gradu- ates were honored. Last year's awards went to Edith Berrien, Ken- neth Douglass, Faith l efferson lones, and Wilton Krogman. Assemblies were something that students looked forward to. Many liked the fact that there were shorter periods and they could miss classes because of an assembly. As sopho- more Brian Hays said, You get a chance to be with friends that you might not have classes with. For whatever the reason, the wide vari- ety of assemblies were an important part of academic life. -Maria Duda Special Assemblies Attempting to psych freshmen for a healthy year, Mr. lerry Slack prepares stu- dents tor a rigorous two lap run.

Beads of sweat trickled down their faces, which reflected stress and strain. This was a familiar sight in the Physical Education depart- ments. P.E., a class included in all students' schedules, was where stu- dents got the chance to learn new ways of keeping their bodies fit. Students in both girls' and boys' P.E. followed a list of requirements. The reason for these requirements was to have the students experience a wide variety of sports - from soft- ball, football, or volleyball to dance and aerobic classes. The require- ments consisted of a six-week period in a team sport, individual sport, dance class, aerobic class, a tennis or badminton class, and a yearly re- quirement of a six-week swimming class. Upon completion of the re- quirements, students were able to select which classes they wanted to take. Many students had positive atti- tudes toward taking P.E. As sopho- more Beth I-Ielmling said, You get your heart pumping. I like taking gym because it's a nice break in the day. Freshman Kevin Schaus ad- ded, l enjoy playing in the sports. I think taking gym helps you to relax during the long day in school. The main goals of the P.E. depart- ments were to teach students what good physical fitness was, how to become physically fit, and to exper- ience a wide variety of sports to con- tinue on in, said Ms. Barbara Hack- leman, head of girls' P.E. East. Mr. lerry Slack, head of boys' P.E. West added, Another goal we're trying to achieve is for the two departments to work closer together. We want the students to have the choice of pick- ing an all-girls, all-boys, or co-ed class. Some students liked the idea of co-ed classes. lt doesn't seem restrictive if you have the co-ed classes. lt becomes more challeng- ing when there are boys and girls in the same class, said sophomore Beth Helmling. l unior Caileen Lynch remarked, Everyone tries to impress everyone else. I took Per- sonal Fitness with a boys' class and everything was on their level. lt was pretty hard. lunior Tim Kelpsas said, I think it's a good idea to have co-ed classes because it would be a little more challenging than just competing with guys. Even before the attention on phys- ical fitness spread across the nation, the P.E. department had been striv- ing to point out the importance of being fit. Ms. Hackleman said, We try to appeal to all students' interests in sports. Some like dance. Others like swimming. Hopefully, students will get involved in a number of sports and continue their interest into the future. -Annie Chang Puttin' on the Ritz, freshmen Colleen Maroney, Denise Ryan, Cassie Lukes, Tamika Oakley, Michelle Panico, Margaret Patzelt, Ahila Livingston, and sophomore Carol Dor- sey high step a dance from the musical A Chorus Line.

There were many places that students visited to gain this experience. AP biology students, conducted experiments on plants at the Oak Park Conservatory. Because the class was experimenting on so many plants, they needed a place where there were good growing condi- tions. The class performed three dif- ferent labs involving the effects of hormones on plants. lt has been helpful because it gives you a chance to see how the chemicals ef- fect the plants, senior Gregg Peck said. Another field trip was sponsored by the English gifted program. Stu- dents went to see a production of King Lear at the Blackstone Theatre. Similarly, all English Lit. and Col- lege English classes went to the Wis- dom Bridge adaptation of Hamlet at the Civic Theatre. The general ex- pectations of English field trips was to take advantage of the theatrical community in Chicago, Schnede said. The production of Hamlet was more interesting and more modern. Reading the play and then seeing it helped me to understand it better, said senior Tina Nally. Mr. Clarke Shultes took his geolo- gy class on two 5 - 6 day field trips. The first was to the Smokey Moun- tain National Park in the fall. The second was to South Central, Mis- souri in the spring. The field trips were much much more than a ge- ology field trip, Shultes said. Stu- dents discussed a variety of subjects - from the botany of the trees, to the local history of Cape Girardeau, the second French settlement west of the Mississippi. Even literature was examined while on the trip. Many students had read Huckleber- ry Hnn, but not many had soaked up the Huckleberry .Finn ambience in while sitting on the banks of the Mis- A sissippi River, said Shultes. Not only were the field trips a study of geology, but of many subjects. Field studies was a class taught by Mr. lack Marzuki, history teacher. The class was a double credit course and went on field trips twice a week. Places like the Pilsen area ot Chica- go and street homes for the poor were visited. The Chicago area was the world's greatest resource cen- ter, Marzuki said. This class talked about the historic background of the city as well as discussed the migra- tion trends of the rich and poor peo- ple in Chicago. Some students took the class twice because each time it was offered, a different format was taught. Field trips were a way for students to get insight into their classes but they also were a combinging of ex- periences, Schnede said. As junior Erika Fitzgerald said, I learned more than in the classroom. - Caroline Waldron i its wil? 1 . . y .. f ix- t' I . 5 fi V 'i .. -' Q JE 1 K 5 1 'K sf A I .. ....

Field Trips 3 134 cademic otes Learning about AID AIDS is a disease that pro- duces panic and fear in today's society. On February 7, all OPRF teachers were asked by the administration to attend an informative seminar on AIDS. Mr. Ron Sable, a physician at Cook County Hospital and Jail, was the keynote speaker. He had been working with AIDS patients for four years, since AIDS was first discov- ered, and saw AIDS patients every day. Sable called AIDS the disease of our age. As he said to OPRF faculty, I think we need to do something about the problem nowf' During the seminar, Sable informed teach- PRI T The commercial had been on television so many times that people thought of SPRINT as a long distance telephone com- pany.

The program met at the high school and at Parenthesis, a local program for single teen- parents. During these class ses- sions, the teens were taught about computer programming, typing and business machines, and job-related skills, at Paren- thesis, they were taught par- enting and child-development.

Ms. Pagnucci said that the goal of the Foreign Lan- guage week was to create an awareness of the importance of language. Exhibits of ethni- city made by the foreign lan- guage classes were displayed throughout the school week. Each day during lunch periods, the cafeteria served different ethnic foods. Entertainment, which included a parade of ethnic costumes, folk dancing, and a Mariachi band, was also provided.

Kim Williams was voted most valuable player on the Varsity Gymnastics' team. She was also a member of the Or- chesis dance troupe and a tal- ented writer who organized the Writer's Club at the high school. In addition, Kim was an academically outstanding student and received a com- mended ranking in the Nation- al Achievement Scholarship Program for Outstanding Ne- gro Students, as well as many scholarships for college. As teacher Diane Ivas comment- ed, Kim was a very intelligent student. She was very mature and sensitive and worked well with her peers. Kim was one of the two students in the entire Cook County region to receive the plaque, the highest award. PE teacher Ms. Diane Ivas was awarded for her work with students in dance as a means for physical fitness. Ivas worked hard to diversify the Orchesis dance troupe which she sponsored, encouraging dancers of many different eth- nic backgrounds, Ivas said, To be chosen from all the oth- er teachers from this high school, was a real honor. She was an officer in the State Dance Association and gave many presentations at regional clinics and state conventions. Mrs. Leah Marcus was for- mer school board member and president. Her leadership in- fluenced the high school most in the area of human relations and curriculum development. Mrs. Marcus commented, l was very pleased to receive the award.

Usually the subject of notes, as senior Laura Berkley said, was the latest gossip and what you did over the weekend. There were many opportunities for note exchanging. I usually write during a boring class or during study halls, said freshman Jessica Gibbins. Sophomore Kirsten Peterson said, When you're supposed to be taking notes for the class is when I write notes to my friends. English teacher Ms. Karin Ur- ban felt that notes were a prob- lem only if I notice them. Anything that distracts me from making a point or listen- ing to a student bothers me. There were some students that didnit find notes to be neces- impersonal. sary. It's too Most people can tell things to other people face to face, said sophomore Matt Devereux.

Some of these strengths were the me- dia center, maintenance, com- munity involvement, the school board and their support of edu- cation, funding, teachers, achievement, progress of stu- dents, teachers' attitudes, and overall respect for the adminis- tration. Some recommendations or weaknesses pointed out by the NCA team were that more specific courses were needed, students needed to get more in- formation out of a class, teach- ers needed to be evaluated more often, encouragement of staff development, and in- crease minor enrollment. I disagree with the CNCAJ con- clusion that there is not a suffi- cient dissent within the school, said Swanson. An- other disagreement expressed was, HI don't think the people who came here really under- stood what high school educa- tion was all aboutg I think they were much too general, said math teacher Lois Goldstein. Other responses to the evalua- cal reason for taking notes. Sophomore Michelle McGuin- ness said, It keeps me from doodling all over my note- books. Science teacher Mr. Jim Vokac felt, Notes were worthwhile if the material cov- ered in the discussion was not in the text, but it is more im- portant to follow and react to what's being said rather than copy everything down when it's already in the book.

Both ob- jectives were accomplished. The boys began their guest The boys began their guest by winning their first ten games, but then fell to Evan- ston 3-2. The team took the loss as a learning experience and faced the remainder of the sea- son with a continued positive attitude. We had a good start. We were playing good base- ball, stated Head Coach lack Kaiser. When we play well and don't make very many mistakes we can think positive and win more games. The team had the determi- nation, spirit and the desire to win. Senior Eric Hopp ex- plained, We had a lot of team spirit. We had it in our minds that we could win, so we played to win. The club went on to win 26 of their next 27 games. OPRF captured the WSC with a 13-1 record, los- ing only to Glenbard West. lt was just one of those days when things just didn't click, explained senior catcher Dave Theis. Two weeks later, Qak Park bounced back to blowout Glenbard, 8-O. Cne of the reasons for the team's 3rd place finish at State was their pitching staff. Collec- tively the pitching staff did a fine job, allowing only 2.8 runs, striking out 360 batters, and holding a team E.R.A. of 1.96. Individuals contributed greatly to the team's success. Scott Nelson and lason Klon- oski played a large role in the pitching staff. Each finished the year with ten wins. Klon- oski had 129 strike outs and Nelson recorded 144 strike outs while displaying an awe- some E.R.A. of 57. Along with pitching, the of- fense was also impressive. Averaging over seven runs per game, the athletes had a slugging percentage of over .500. We had a strong of- fense, stated Theis. Every- one on our club could hit the ball well. Strong pitching and batting, along with fan support helped the Huskies advance to the state semi-finals. There they lost a heart breaker to Oak Forest 110. The loss really hurt because we wanted it so bad, confessed senior second-base- man lim Donovan. We worked so hard and came so far. The Huskies' outstanding ef- forts were well noticed. Many received post season awards. All League stars included Lo- gan Collins, Donovan, Kolon- oski and Nelson. Nelson and Klonoski were named to th All-State Coaches, All-Stat Tribune Calong with Donovan Coaches All-Area, East-We All-Start game, lllinois-Mich' gan All-Star gameg and Sport Festival in Baton Rouge.

Then Qak Park's pitcher sen- ior Laura Scafidi fired the next pitch. lt looked like an easy ground ball, but due to a few mistakes, a run scored. Morton West won. This was the setting of Dis- tricts forthe l985 Girls' Varsity Softball Team. Districts was terrible. lust that one mistake cost us the game, said senior Veronica Shepherd. When the ball was hit, l thought I fi- nally got out of that inning. Then l saw the run score, All-State senior pitcher Laura Scafidi prepares to slug the ball down the third base line. Her contribution to the team led the girls to their WSC victory. commented Scafidi. Head Coach Maria Miklos said, lt always ends up to be Oak Park and Morton West in the finals at Districts. That game was a very well played game, but Morton West won. Even though the Huskies had to settle for 2nd place in Districts, they had an outstand- ing season with an overall re- cord of 2l-4 and a conference record of l3-l. With those fine records, it was no wonder the Huskies placed lst in Confer- ence, for the 3rd consecutive year. Coach Miklos comment- ed, Individual improvements were made, and the team played consistently and worked well together. The team possessed many qualities which helped to defeat 21 teams. Miklos added, They had good team defense, pow- er hitting, and were unified. Allison Dulla, Mary Carol Frank, Scafidi, and junior Lynne Halverson were some of the power hitters. With a strong offense, de- fense, and power hitting, the Huskies won many tourna- ments. At the Niles West tour- nament, the team took lst place by defeating New Trier, l-O, and Niles West, l6-6. The Evanston tournament was a different story. The team lost its first game to Wheaton Central with a score of O-lO. Starting pitcher Scafidi was out due to illness. That game was cold and rainy. We did not play to our best potential, comment- ed Scafidi. The attitudes throughout team were good. Miklos The girls were high strt motivated, aggressive, had a desire to play to t best potential. Four proved their abilities as exc tionally good softball play Dulla and Frank made West Suburban All-Star te while Halverson and Sce made All-Conference. Sc also made All-State.

Although the Huskies did not have their strongest season, there were many season highlights that- proved OPRF to be a strong team. One of the highlights of the season was when Oak Park took second place in the Marist Team Tournament. ln the Dou- bles Championship, the lst Doubles team of team captain Scott Berg and co-captain Scott Nelson took 3rd, while the second Doubles team of senior Chris Lind and sopho- more Bryan Nelson took lst. Later in the season, Berg and Scott Nelson qualified for State. The only disappoint- ment of the season was when Bryan was unable to go down- state. I felt l had let the team down because it screwed up the line-up, said Nelson. Bryan's a real tough player, Arcieri said. When he could not go downstate, we were not in a good situation. The team was young and needed several improvements. We wanted to do as well as we were capable, said Ar- cieri. Arcieri looked forward to following seasons by setting up programs. A junior program held after school at the OPRF Racquet Ball Club, lasted from November to lanuary. The summer program held at the high school was open to in- coming freshmen. One pro- gram that continued through- out the school year was the weight program. This helped the players to keep in shape all year. During the season the team held two practices: in the morning for conditioning and running, and after school for improving their stroke tech- niques and footwork. The team ended their sea- son with a 4-3 record in Con- ference. Our attitude toward the season was very positive, said senior left Ebert. But we're looking forward to next ear. .

We worked hard in practice, but we also wanted to have fun, said Coach Belpedio. Due to hard practices and high standards, the Huskies went downstate with the deter- mination of an experienced team. All athletes had at least two years of experience on the varsity level. The starting line- up consisted of all seniors ex- cept for two. Nancy Dusza, Ali- cia Hughes, Barb Welch, Kristi Baker and goalie Amy Engels- kerchen were all-state players. Hughes and Deirdre Bucking- ham received honorary men- tions. lt was not just the determina- tion of the team that made them successful. Buckingham explained, We were success- ful because we were strong. Hughes added, You had to be thinking all the time. Water- polo is as much of a thinking game as well as it's a physical game. The Huskies ended their season with a 'Y-4 record and placed 2nd in State. Coach Belpedio evaluated the sea- son: We had the experience. We had the determination and the dedication to be success- ful. But we were disappointed that we didn't capture the state crown. We had very high stan- dards. -less Soria S fx 4 Q iss.

For the first time, girls' soccer was brought into the West Surbur- ban Conference. The girls plunged into the season seeking the conference championship. We wanted to be the first team to capture the WSC and make history, con- fessed junior midfielder Erin Roche. They did! The girls went undefeated in Confer- ence with an impressive 8-O re- cord, and an overall record of 12-4-3. We were psyched for a good season. Nothing was going to stop us from obtain- ing our goal, boasted junior Laura Werhman. Enthusiasm, experience, and leadership helped to spark OPRF. Senior Megan Winter and team MVP Sue Spillane provided these nec- essary ingredients. Megan and Sue were solid figures on defense, stated Head Coach Wendell Smith. l'Sue was well respected and her leadership, along with her dedication, showed on and off the field. Even though the experience was on the defensive line, the forward line also contributed greatly. The scoring of 45 goals in 19 games resulted in opponents viewing Oak Park as a powerful scoring squad. Leading the offensive attack were All-Staters senior Nora McHugh and Werhman. This scoring combination account- ed for over half of the Huskies' total goals CMC l-lugh l4, Werhman lOl. Although the main objective was to win Conference, the team also wanted to advance as far as possible in the state tournament. The Huskies ad- vanced to the semi-finals be- fore losing to St. Charles, the state champs for three con- secutive years. The girls played hard against St. Charles, but never could seem to stop the opponents' power- ful scoring drives. The Huskies were defeated 8-O. Team spirit and support also helped to reach these new heights. A lack of outside sup- port, however, was evident. We had a lot of family sup- port, stated Coach Smith, but we needed more support from the student body. Win- ter agreed: We want the stu- dents to support us. Maybe now that we have won the WSC, they will see that we are serious about the game and give us the support we de- serve. Coach Smith knew that the next year would provide many challenges. lt will be harder to win Conference again be- cause everyone is after our crown. But l'm confident that the girls are strong and will work hard for another success- ful season. -Victoria R.

Each athlete was al- ways pulling for each other at meets and at invitationals. They had a great attitude throughout the whole year, commented Head Coach Earl O'Malley. The desire to win was shown at the West Suburban Conter- ence meet where Oak Park placed 4th behind 3 talented teams: York, Proviso East, and Glenbard West. These teams are All-State champion con- tenders. Placing behind them wasn't anything to hang our heads down about, stated O'Malley. The desire to strive for big- ger and better wins continued with the 2nd place finish at Sectionals. Oak Park was once again ousted by York. The 2nd place finish did nothing but Taking a breather after a big race, senior Michael Dowd, awaits the otti- cial time score. Boys' Track encourage the Huskies to go all out in the state meet. The state tournament was held at Eastern lllinois Univer- sity, and Oak Park finished in a tie tor 9th place with Daneville High School. lunior Alvin Campbell commented, One ot our goals was to win State, so we tried to do as best as we could. Individual achievements made a great ditterence in the total score tor OPRF. Charles Parker took 2nd place in the long jump with a measurement ot 23'lMi . He also took 6th place in the triple jump, with a score ot 47'5Mx . Campbell re- ceived 4th place in the triple jump with a score of 47'674 . Finally, senior Tim Clancy showed how strong he was by capturing 7th place in the 1600 meter run with a time ot 4:17.94 O'Malley comment- ed, Without these individuals, ff f ' f f Q J our team could have never achieved as many 'golden points' as we would have liked to take 9th place. The intensity to win was shown through the hard prac- tices and individual workouts. The team practiced from 3:00- 5:30 everyday. Their workouts consisted ot stretches, sprints, and distance runs. Each indi- vidual was also responsible tor working on his own event. Clancy commented, Each person has a basic goal at the beginning ot the year, and that person works very hard to achieve that goal. Clancy concluded by saying, Over- all, the year was pretty good. We had a lot ot team spirit and desire to do the best we could. -Wendy Strode Intensity and determination can be seen in the eyes of sophomore Sta- cey Burress as he prepares for his run.

Boys' Track Feature running with style Clancy is crowned with success enior Tim Clancy was one of the three run- ners that placed high in the boys l985 l.H.S.A. State Tournament. He took 7th place in the l6OO meter run with a time of 4:l7.9-4. Along with ju- nior Alvin Campbell and with Charles Parker, he earned many points to tie for an over- all finish of 9th place. Tim had been running for the track team ever since he was a freshman. I became in- terested in running because my brother was on the track team. When l was entering school as a freshman, he had ibm .rig just graduated, taking 2nd place in State in the mile run. Tim also ran for the Boys' Cross Country team. This kind of gets me in shape for the track season. Track is more of an individual sport while cross-country is more team ori- ented. Both teams required much stamina, and the players were forced to workout on their own. Tim stayed in good condition by running about 8 miles a day during the sum- mer. He also worked on refin- ing his speed. Tim's goals for the future in- cluded breaking the four min- ute barrior in the l6OO meter run. Clancy commented, With a lot of luck and good training, this might be possi- ble. He planned to run in col- lege and hopefully receive a scholarship. As Head Coach Earl C'Malley observed, He's a great kid, and he has a lot of talent. Tim is a good example of an excellent track runner. -Wendy Strode Pulling up the rear of the relay team, Derrick Peterman sprints to reach the end of the race, before any other team does. ,,- is .

Robert high hopes Spirit and dedication prevail adminton may not have incited the roar of the fans, but the 1985 Girl's Badminton Team provided a lot of excitement throughout the season. Conference was a good ex- ample of the team's ability to display a lot of spirit and en- thusiasm during the year. Sec- ond singles player, sophomore lill Demarte, took 2nd place at Conference while the 3rd dou- bles team of Stacy Palfy and senior Colleen Young, cap- tured lst place and were un- defeated in most of the match- es played. In Conference you know what you're up against so you are able to play on your opponents' weakness and play well, said Young. The team, as a whole, tied for first place with Lyons Township, but re- ceived Qnd place because Ly- ons beat Oak Park in an over- all point system. Even though the team had to settle for 2nd place at Con- ference, the team still pos- sessed high spirits as shown by their accomplishments at Districts and State. At Districts, the team placed second, quali- fying three teams for State. First singles player Christine Hartman, first doubles team of Katie Mullen and Veronica Skeltong and second doubles team of loyce Peterson and senior Debbie Fisher made up the OPRF State contenders. Hartman lost her first round. She was then eliminated from the total competition after los- ing her first round in the con- solation match. The first dou- bles team had alittle more suc- cess. They tied for l3th place at State. With these accomplish- ments, came hours of practice. Practice consisted of many drills. Among the drills were footwork, and placement of shots. Practice ended with team play and round robin. The whole team experienced hard work and put in a lot of time in the gym, said l-lead Coach Kathy Wieneke. The goals of the team were to do well in Conference, qualify the whole team for State, and finish the season strong. With all of the enthusi- asm shown by the team, it was no wonder the Huskies goals were accomplished. -Chris Stark Badminton sswssssis.-aw...-it,,...,,, , , V y - fifsxftwmrsssisimszlffzzsfgg:eii,g?f,gff.-si ff- S . - - -- - .- ,,f-gg 14.42 i::4.f2..:.f.... 5QsE wsQssswssSa:::sfaeas-s2asiis5s:.:Q..i4t.:f.w.zz-Q- --san...-.1.:.i:::. -:ff A .-.Mfa-ns...2.::..::::.::::e:s:z:fswiwi-A sn... ..

SGW Shosld. cc ure aggression was the key to a successful water polo season, commented Head Coach lim Lock. This aggression was the main force behind the 4th place finish in the state tourna- ment. The 1985 season was the 13th year that the Varsity Wa- ter Polo Team finished in the top four. The shaky season, as sen- ior Mike Dusza called it, start- ed out poorly for the Huskies, for they lost four of the first seven games rather decisively. Oak Park lost twice to team ri- val Brother Rice 9-4 and 13-3. The Huskies also lost two out of three games played against Mt. Carmel. The team may have lost ear- ly in the season, but the team got smarter as the season pro- gressed, said Lock. A lot of enthusiasm, said Lock, was a major reason the team re- bounded so strongly. The Hus- kies trounced Evanston 20-8 and went on to win four more regular season games. Per- sonal satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment were what Dusza felt after two deciding victories over Fen- wick, l3-9 and 12-l0. One of the factors that helped the team do as well as it did was its strenuous workouts. For two hours every day, the players would work on swim sprints and ball handling. In addition, the players worked out with weights three days a week which was necessary to maintain a physical edge. With 90? of the game played un- der water, exceptional stamina was required. Coach Lock also emphasized, The players must learn to use aggression effectively. The loss of Victor Vanek to baseball was an obstacle, but the team overcame it. Bruce lones, referred to by Coach Lock as the best goalie l have ever seen, helped lead the team to a spot in the state tour- nament. By blocking 5479 of all shots on goals, lones, the spark of the team, according to Lock, made lst Team All- State and 3rd Team All-Ameri can. Senior Kevin Doyle, who led the team with 40 goals, made 2nd Team All-State. Doyle and Tones, along with Dusza, junior Larry Bruno, and senior leff Wohlschlaeger helped form the nucleus of the team. Finishing the regular season with an overall record of 8-8, the team headed into the state tournament. The Huskies came on strong by defeating Hoff- man Estates, ll-7. The second game against Glenbrook North was one of the highlights of the season, as the Huskies emerged victorious in a thrill- ing l3-8 win. Oak Park suf- fered a discouraging 3rd round loss to Loyola by the score of 16-5. In the final game of the tournament, the Huskies were pitted against arch rival Mt. Carmel in a bid for third place. The will to win was not good enough, as mistakes were the difference in the los- ing effort, 9-8. The Huskies may not have made it to the top, but they showed they were a group of winners. As Mike Dusza said, We proved we wanted to win. -Bryan Oliver Boys' Water Polo making tracks Ten athletes goto State oals. We all had them and tried to meet them. The Girls' l985 Varsity Track Team's goals were set early in the year, and as junior Ojii Hill commented, We gave it all we had. The team's goals included winning Conference, Sectionals, and State. All but one of these goals were met. Oak Park placed first in Conference, first in Sectionals, and tied with Charleston High School in Springfield for 27th place in State. ln addition to the high goals set for the team, the girls showed tremendous spirit. Track had usually been thought of as an individual sport, but the girls came to- gether when it counted. For example, at the Conference meet when the Huskies com- peted against York, they dug in their heels and really worked to beat them, said ju- With straining leg muscles, Sarah Lueking struggles to win the 800 me- ter run at the Willowbrook-Maine West meet.

Another reason why the team did so well was because the indoor season was spent placing people where they do their best, commented Head Coach Glenn Cothern. For instance, in the BOO meter relay, Adrian Boyd, Tenesha Partee, senior Scyla Murray, and junior Ojii Hill were grouped as a relay team for their running abilities. From the team's various groups, they managed to send a total of ten players to State. This group consisted of Karen Benton, Adrian Boyd, Sarah Lueking, Tenesha Partee, sen- Failing to complete the high jump, senior lean Elia expresses her disappointment.

These girls managed to score six points and achieve the high place of 27th in state. Injuries were not much of a problem for the girls. Usually with a track team, one expects a couple of broken legs, a few bad knees, or sprains. Yet the team stayed healthy, aside from a few shin splints. Coach Cothern explained, They're too tough to get hurt. The sprinters were exceptionally tough, because they were run- ning three and four events apiece. Cothern said they real- ly had to dig down and run. ln reflection, Cothern was pleased with the year. We asked a lot of them, and they came through when it count- ed. rr -Carol Rush At the Willowbrook-Maine West meet, Angie Lizak completes her jump with hopes to surpass the score of her previous jump.

This was , an announcement often heard at lO of the 12 1985 Varsity Foogball games. In addition, the Huskies won the WSC Championship for the second year in a row. CThe last time the Huskies won two WSC Championships back to back was in 1948.5 The team was also ranked among the top eight teams in the state. There were several factors that contributed to the Hus- kies' successful season. One was the players. Senior Perry lohnson summarized: Every- body as a group wanted to go all the way. Because of this strong dedication to winning, the players maintained their spirit and devotion. lunior Marty Hart commented, Ev- eryone put in so much time in the off season. The players started practicing in the heat of early August with three prac- tices a day. Yet 'lthe kids want- ed to be there, commented Coach lohn Rehile. Senior Eric Hopp commented, Everyone wanted to play and everyone wanted to win. As junior Steve Dudley said, Gak Park had one of the best prepared teams in the area. The players also had a lot of spirit. Coach lohn Rehile at- tributed this spirit to the over- CC all school spirit at our games, and the fact that the team is a reflection of the student body. The teamwork put forth by the players was also very strong. Head Coach Gary Ol- son felt that the teamwork was why we got where we got. Dudley commented, As the season went along, we molded as a team. The Huskies' hard work led not only to a successful season, but also to the success of sever- al individual players. Seniors David Dougherty, Bart Garvin, Eric Hopp, David lohnson, Perry lohnson, Greg Keating, Anton Person, and juniors Doug Amaya, Murphy Carroll, and Steve Dudley were named All-Conference players. ln ad- dition, Bart Garvin was named an All-State player. Anton Per- son was Player of the Year, and Perry lohnson was Most Valuable Player. Not only were the players an important asset to the team, but so were the coaches. The coaches had a lot of spirit, stated Captain Bart Garvin, and they were dedicated to the team and players. Coach Gary Olson commented, l like working with kids, and l like to see them succeed and excel. Coach Rehile added, We really respected our players, and they in turn really respect- ed us. The tremendous respect and dedication among the players and coaches led the Huskies to defeat 3 of their 4 rivals at their blood and guts games, explained Coach Ol- son. The Huskies also had a very important game against Glenbard West. David Dou- gherty commented, We played the best football we played all year against Glen- bard. lunior Marty Hart com- mented, We had to prove to the rest of the conference that we were better than Glen- bard. Many of the players felt this way because Glenbard had the number one ranked defense in the state. The Hus- kies not only had something to prove at this game, but the re- sults of the game would deter- mine who would win the WSC championship. ln addition to this pressure, the game place on Homecoming. Huskies came through won the game 14-7. The Huskies' victorious sea- and next took The and son led the players coaches to believe that year's season would also be a winning one.

One had to have disci- pline and a positive attitude. Senior Perry lohnson fulfilled all ot those requirements. His special leadership qualities helped not only the starters, but also the whole team. To the juniors, lohnson said, What you do this year will affect what you will do next year when you are on the Varsity level. I-le stressed that attitude V was important. V lohnson started the 1985 season as outside line-backer, on defense. Coach Gary Ol- son commented, Perry had to work extremely hard to get his starting position, and he worked well to keep it. lohn- son led the team in intercep- tion returns, with two resulting touchdowns. He also led the team in quarterback sacks with 14. ln addition to playing as lohn Kounessis line-backer, lohnson also alter- nated with junior Marty Hart at fullback, and he played on special squads. Although this was the first time lohnson start- ed on the Varsity level, he was voted by his teammates the Most Valuable Player.

You need all of them at the right time and right place, commented Head Coach Mary lo Peterson about the Girls' Varsity Tennis team. The Huskies possessed all of these ingredients, as they remained undefeated through- out the entire season. Capturing so many victories was not easy, but with their high spirits, the girls were able to pull them off. There were a lot of squeaky matches, said Peterson. The girls all pulled for each other. One such match was against rival Hins- dale Central. All the matches had been played except for one. Oak Park had won 3 matches and lost 3 matches. The score was tied. The pres- sure of maintaining the Hus- kies' perfect record was placed on the 3rd doubles team of senior Wendy Strode and junior Faye Rybarczyk. They won their match which not only extended the team's perfect record, but also ex- tended their individual record of remaining undefeated. We knew Hinsdale Central was tough, but we did not expect the toughness they showed us, said Peterson. The conference meet was not as smooth as previous meets. The weekend was pla- gued by rainy weather, post- poning the final rounds of Conference by three days. We got so psyched for Con- ference, but when it rained, our emotions went down. We were still psyched for the match, but not as much as on the first day, said Strode. De- spite the long wait, the team took lst. Conference was real hard because we played against Hinsdale Central and Lyons Township, who placed 2nd and 3rd at State, said sophomore Carol Heppes. The team also won the sec- tional meet.

With Beaudoin's and Sloan's victory over Bloomington, the team clinched the state title. The dedication and togeth- erness of the team played a major role in their victories.

Injuries hurt us , said sen- ior and 44 runner lohn Cos- tello. We never really had a full team. The Huskies en- tered the season without senior top runner Tim Clancy. He was out with two sprained an- kles, and a sprained back, for a good part of the season, said Sosa. Senior and 4553 runner Matt Hayes missed three meets due to tendonitis in the knee, and Costello missed one meet due to illness. The season just wasn't up to par, added Sosa. Despite the multitude of in- juries, Oak Park took a 2nd place finish at Conference, placing behind York. Al- though we lost to York in the dual meet, too, it was still a highlight. We were the only team in Conference to even come close to beating them, said Sosa. Oak Park lost the dual meet 27-30. Sectionals were also a sea- son highlight, commented Sosa. The Huskies placed 4th, qualifing the whole team for State. We beat Lyons Town- ship which sent us downstate. lf we had lost to them, they would have gone instead of us, said sophomore and 45 runner Tom Littlecreek. From Sectionals, Oak Park headed towards State. One of the team's goals was to finish in or near the top five. Unfortu- nately, the Huskies did not ac- complish this goalp they placed 23 out of 27 teams. Littlecreek explained, l think we peaked too soon. We had a really good meet at Sectionals, but we just didn't produce at State. Sosa added, You have good days and bad days. State just wasn't a good day. Although the team did not do as well as they had wanted, they had a lot of spirit and dedication. Sosa described his team as Hhard working and motivated .... l told them that victories weren't going to be handed out on a silver platter. They would have to work for it.

That was the word that Head Coach Shirley Red- mond used to describe the l985 Girls' Volleyball season. Fun was the proper word, for it was fun to win, and the girls completed their season with a 27-4 record, and placed lst in their conference. The Huskies played in a conference which contained some of the top teams in the state. Despite the tough com- petition, the Huskies were crowned Conference champs by a victory over Glenbard West. Additional season high- lights included a victory over rival Lyons Township, a lst place victory at the Glenbard South Invitational, and a 3rd place finish at the Rich East tournament. At this tourna- ment the Huskies were seeded 6th but defeated the higher ranked teams to claim 3rd place. A good mental attitude, strong leadership, and all around talent contributed to the team's successful season. Redmond described the team as Hguick, strong serving, and a jumping team. Because of the team's lack of height, these qualities were vital. The team also attributed its success to the commitment and dedication of its members. The girls practiced about 2 hours a day for approximately 9 weeks. Yet the team's prac- ticing and playing time did not begin and end with seasonal practices and matches. Many girls went to a summer camp and also played in an out of school league, called open ball, during the winter and spring months. Redmond commented that the season was Hone that has had its ups and downs, but mostly ups. The season's few low points included losses to both Downers Grove North and Hinsdale South. ln both matches the Huskies lost their concentration and were men- tally unprepared. Senior Laura Scafidi said, We tensed up and weren't playing the way we usually did. Concentra- tion was one aspect Redmond wanted to improve on. She said, The girls dwelled on mistakes and they couldn't do anything about it. This affect- ed the way the girls played. The l985 Volleyball season was a successful one. The team accomplished two of their three goals: to win Conference and to place in the top three in all their tournaments. Though they were not able to accom- plish their 3rd goal, making State, the team's talent and dedication brought many oth- er rewards throughout the sea- son. Michelle Rietschel vaiieybaii 73 above the re st Hard work pays off for Ryan cc 0 really liked the team spirit and the sense of accom- that comes with playing volleyball, stated sen- ior Molly Ryan. Ryan, who had been involved with volleyball since 6th grade, played a key role in the volleyball team's success. Molly was a hard- working girl with a great deal of talent, commented Head Coach Shirley Redmond She is serious about her game. Although volleyball was both mentally and physically demanding, Molly insisted that she loved the game and en- joyed working hard. Even after she broke her finger in prac- tice, she never stopped work- ing. ln less than two weeks she was back in action - right where she wanted to be. Molly said that she owed most of her success to Coach Redmond. Ms. Redmond pushed me to the limit. She strived for perfection, ex- plained Ryan. She taught dis- plishment cipline. She expected a lot and got it. Molly also added that her team had been a positive influence: They were very supportive and they were there when l needed them. When the season was offi- cially over, Molly continued to play Open Volleyball Qplay- ers from different schools joined together as one team and play other area teamsj, with 2nd City. From De- cember until lune she contin- ued to play volleyball. Games against other state teams and even foreign countries were arranged. lt's a great way to travel yet still play, confessed Ryan. lt gives me a chance to see different places and make new friends.

Mur- I Volleyball Feature the drive to win Puffs to downstaten C C e were right up there, said Head Coach Robert Zimmerman, about the 1985 Boys' Varsity Golf team. Fin- ishing in and near the top three in many of their meets, the Huskies demonstrated their expertise by defeating such teams as Proviso East and York, by the scores of 170-233 and 168-183. The early part of the season was a difficult period for the players. As junior Mike Fein- berg explained, We never had a good round at the same time. A couple kids carried the meet. But as the season pro- gressed, GPRF realized what they had to do. Coach Zimmer- man said, We started a little slow, but most of the guys got the idea that the responsibility was theirs and on their shoul- ders. lt takes more than show- ing up for a match to win. A main factor which contributed to the low points early in the season was the inconsistency of individual scores. We didn't know who we could count on and who we couldn't, said Zimmerman. We weren't doing anything bad, but we just were not able to keep our scores within a rea- sonable range. Dual meets were a problem for the golf team. Despite the inconsistent scoring by indivi- duals, we kept at it and came into our own at the West Sub- urban Conference Tourna- ment, said Coach Zimmer- man. The tournament was no- ticeably better than the dual matches, as OPRF took a sur- prising 3rd place finish, scor- ing a 325. They finished be- hind Glenbard West, 319, and Lyons Township, 322. The Regionals, called by Feinberg as our best tourna- ment of the year, were next. The Huskies shot a 317 to finish behind Leyden, 309, and Ly- ons Township, 314. They did so Well that the entire team qualified to go to Sectionals, which had really been our ambition the whole year, Coach Zimmerman said. The team was disappointed at the Sectionals. Coach Zim- merman commented, They definitely were good enough, but the kids seemed to have trouble on that given day. Sophomore lerome Andrews and junior Alan Snyder were the two individuals who later qualified to go downstate. Despite the off season, the golfers were already looking at a bright horizon. All but two seniors were returning, which will give the team exper- ience, a lot of depth, and ma- turity, said Zimmerman. Fein- berg commented, This year's accomplishments were so high. Next year's goals will be even higher. -Bryan Oliver t .-df?-dl1iL.Qf. 176 Bays Gait Senior Bill Zobel keeps a watch- Sophomore Jerome Andrews con- ful eye on the ball as it heads towards templates his shot while waiting for the green. the green to clear.

The team had been psyched tor Sectionals due to placing 3rd in the conference meet and 2nd in the regionals meet, but atter arriving late tor warm-ups, the girls did not run to their best potential. Their minds were not on running, commented Head Coach Ter- ry Anderson. The team placed 6th, missing the qualifications tor State by one place. Although the accident was a tremendous letdown tor the Huskies, their enthusiasm did not die. The team's spirit was good. They were all a nice bunch ot girls, but they were too nice. They did not always have that killer instinct, said Anderson. The season record was 2-4, but the invitationals displayed more success.

Few injuries or changes helped the Huskies to excel at the invitationals. They all stayed healthy and did the right things, said Anderson. For the past seven years there had been a change in the coaching. Anderson was on a maternity leave the previous year, but returned tor the 1985 season. This year the girls knew what to expect and did not have to break in a new coach, added Anderson. Hard work was another tac- tor that helped the team to ex- cel. The team ran 6 miles dur- ing practice, but toward the end ot the season, the girls concentrated on speed. Due to hard work and dedication, Walters and Albrecht were voted to the All-Conference team. Anderson concluded, 1 was very pleased with the team. They were the best team 1 have coached and 1 telt horri- ble that they did not go to State. -Chris Stark Girls' Cross Country: Front Row: H.

One aspect of the team's character was its spirit. Sophomore lohn Woolfe com- mented, Spirit kept us on the winning track. One game where the team's spirit really soared was against the 3rd ranked team in the state, Downers Grove South. The Huskies were really nervous because Downers Grove South was such a tough team. We expected it to be a tough game, commented lohn Woolfe. He added, We con- trolled the game. The Huskies defeated their opponents, 2-l. Spirit was not the only key to success. Another quality was dedication. This dedication was evident at the first game OPRF at 9:00 so they could get to Morton at 9:30 and have a quick practice. The Huskies then proceeded to defeat their opponents with a score of 4-0. Trout, in addition to his character, was devoted and dedicated to the team. lunior Ross Lisuzzo said that Trout cares about the players. This caring and dedication may have helped the Huskies be- come WSC champs. The team started out their practice sea- son well in every area but de- fensive. According to senior Mike Barron, Trout helped shape the defense. Not only did Trout help the defense, but he also changed his practice methods, which helped the players. Before, Trout empha- sized running, but last year he stressed controlling the ball. Mike Barron felt, We got the feel of the ball better. als, and finished among the top l6 teams in State. When at Sectionals, the Huskies' 3-2 defeat against St. loseph was a disappointment. Trout said that the game was physically draining and in- volved a lot of mental pressure that is draining as well. At the game, the Huskies came from behind twice and played two, five minute overtimes. lunior Ross Lissuzzo said, We went far, but we could have gone further. Although the Huskies had a disappointing final game, Coach Trout pointed out, lt's not only the winning, but the way we won. The Huskies worked at winning, and pro- vided an evenly balanced team that went far. -Carol Rush the team played against Mor- ton. OPRF had a Saturday morning game at the Morton field.

He exemplified all of the good character traits of the team. Indeed, Tony was spirited, dedicated, and full of leader- ship. He explained that the previous captains had good discipline and great relation- ships with their peers. He, too, managed to achieve these two qualities and apply them to- ward leading the team. His dedication was especially ob- vious. lf he got hurt, you would have to forcibly drag him off the field, observed Trout. Tony had several accom- plishments on the team. He im- proved his fullback and sweeper positions and led the team on and off the field, said Trout. Tony often encour- aged early curfew hours and when the team had a bad game, he kept up their spirits and wouldn't let anyone hang their heads, said junior Matt Powers. Not only was Tony a good leader, but he also kept up with his other interests. ln ad- dition to soccer, Tony was a percussionist in the school or- chestra. In addition to being captain of the team, Tony was also named to the All-Conference and Pioneer Press All-Area teams. Trout commented that Tony deserved more recogni- tion than he got, referring to his soccer achievements. Yet Tony felt that being successful at soccer was more important than lots of recognition. -Carol Rush At the Holy Cross game, senior Kong Keovanpheng quickly looks up to see if his dive head was a successful play.

Manola said that the season was extremely re- warding in that he was able to see the team grow and achieve its goals. The team's main goal was to finish in the top 10 at State. They were ranked 20th, but surprisingly finished Sth. This was the best finish ever for the Girls' Swim Team, according to Manola. In addition, there were many other highlights for the Huskies. The team finished with an 8-3 record. One of the victories was over local rival, Trinity, as Oak Park won by a score of ll5-64 and set five new pool records. The section- al meet was another highlight. This meet qualified the Medley Relay team, the Individual Medley, the 100 yd. Free Girls' Swimming Style, the 400yd. Free Style Relay, and the l00yd. Back- stroke for the state meet. These successes didn't come easily for the girls. Be- sides working out an average of l7 hours a week and swim- ming 12,000 yards a day, the team was also plagued with in- juries, like shoulder injuries and pneumonia. Manola said that the team was never a 1002 healthy. Yet the team persevered. Manola said that VanVerst was the guiding spirit among the Oak Park swimmers. Thanks to support and guidance from VanVerst and other seniors, the fresh- man were able to break all but one freshman record, diving. The team's spirit and dedi- cation helped them to attain their goals. They're a dedi- cated group, said Manola. lt was the best team I've ever worked with. -Michelle Rietschel il Kathy McNelis Henrietta Bo cl arm 7 If ..

J 4, x sticking it out Huskies net 3rd in State ith a tremendous amount of talent and the desire to win, the l985 Girls' Field Hockey team plunged into the season with high expectations. We looked forward to our season as a challenge. We had a new coach and a new team, said senior All-Staterfmidfielder Megan Winter. We made the best of it and we were proud of our accomplishments. Under the direction of new- temporary Head Coach Mary Lou Nicholas, the Huskies' performance resulted in a l4-4 season. Record-wise, it was the most successful season the team had experienced in a long time. Coach Nicholas, sit- ting in for Head Coach Barb Liles who was on sabbatical stated, We had the exper- ience and knowledge to have a great season. With ten sen- iors, nine juniors and two sophomores, we had a well balanced attack. With this balanced exper- ience, the girls set out to cap- ture three very important tro- phies of the lllinois High School Field Hockey Associ- ation. The first was the Homewood!Flossmor Invita- tional. H-F has always been our key rival. We wanted to defeat them and take their tro- phy home, claimed senior forward and co-captain Molly Castronova. ln the invitational, the Hus- kies defeated New Trier, but then loss to H-F in overtime strokes C3-QD. New Trier, how- ever, defeated H-F, causing a three-way tie for first. There- fore, the team with the most goals claimed the title. The title belonged to Oak Park, who routed North Shore Country Day, 15-O. OPRF then began its quest for the conference title. With an outstanding record of lO-2, the Huskies captured their share of the conference cham- pionship. lt's been a while since we were first in Conference. lt really feels great, said senior forward Lisa Sorrentino. Senior for- ward and All-Stater Holly Hall added, We worked extreme- ly hard for this title. We knew we were a good team, and we proved it. The girls approached the state tournament with confi- dence, beating Homewood! Flossomor in the quarter-finals. As senior co-captain Beth Hil said, We played, we foug and we won together. W knew we had to win as a tea and we did. Unfortunatel the Huskies fell one gam short of winning the stat crown, due to a defeat by Lak Forest 2-O. After that disa pointing loss, the team defea ed Elgin Academy an claimed 3rd place in the stat lt really hurt losing to Lak Forest, stated senior goali and co-captain Vicky Lyle We wanted first place ver badly, but we're still proud o our third place finish.

How did the Huskies do so ell? Their main asset was a it of kids with equal talent, id Head Coach Bob Parker. is well balanced team, how- ver, created a lot of competi- on between the players for arting positions. Senior Bart 'arvin commented, No- Ldy's position was really se- re. Yet this mobilization rked quite well for the Hus- .es. lt strengthened their edication to the team. The dedication started in te summer, commented ju- ior Steve Dudley, as the team orked towards improving its performances at games. Once the team started their season practices, they worked against what our opponents were going to be doing, com- mented Garvin. In addition to studying their opponents' plays, the team worked hard on rebounding, free throws, and on their defense. The de- fensive aspect of the team was very strong. Coach Parker ex- plained, We possessed a lot of quickness as well as depth. In order to acheive these quali- ties, the team had to work ex- tra hard, commented senior Anton Person. The team also had to be motivated. 1 tried to motivate and prepare the team mentally and physically throughout the week, com- mented Parker. With the strong practices, talent, and motivation, the team played several memora- ble games. The most memora- ble game was their second meet against rival Proviso East. The Huskies lost their first game, played at Proviso East, 53-50. Their second game against Proviso East was at home, and the Huskies won, 'YO-55. This was their first victo- ry over Proviso East since 1982. Senior co-captain Tony Hunt said that the team felt cheated at the first Proviso East game. Person added, We wanted to get back at them. The results of the 85-86 sea- son were a refreshing change from the previous year. The key concept to this success was thoughtfully stated by junior Dwayne Harris: Be con- cerned with the team and not yourself.

Ryser qualified for all-around, Brown qualified on vault and bars, and lllian qualified on vault.

Positive attitudes were brought by the team's im- provement throughout the sea- son. At the beginning of the season our attitudes were low, but towards the end of the sea- son we pulled together, said senior Missy Powell, Ryser commented, Last year there was little spirit or enthusiasm. This year was different. We all got along and worked well to- gether. Kyrias was looking forward to the same amount or even higher scores next year. Even though four seniors were leav- ing, there were three talented freshman, Beth Wolshalger, Gina Madonia, and lllian stay- ing, ready for more improve- ments. Kyrias concluded, Next year will hopefully be much of the same with all the talent coming up. - Chris Stark Gifls' Freshman Gymnastics: R. Morrison Row 3: S, Sirakosch, T. Fmnf Row: S- D'-HTG.

Lock stated that the team's best quality was the great number of experienced and knowled- gable swimmers. The domi- nant swimmers on the team, the nucleus , had been swim- ming together for four years, and knew what it took to be- come successful. From the team's basic talent, Lock said that dedication, desire, and es- pecially commitment were ne- cessities if the team was going to be successful. Captain sen- ior Pete Caragher said, This was the most dedicated and devoted team 1've ever been on. The team was required to commit themselves to prac- tices which often lasted three hours a day. Lock described the practices as very hard and intense. Senior left Wohlschlaeger added, Prac- tices were total hell. Your body aches, you choke on water, you can't breathe, and you have to get upa6a.m. but you swim faster, making it all worthwhile. The boys swam 12,000 yards a day and then lifted weights. The hard work paid off. The team had a winning season and placed 2nd in Confer- ence. The team also placed lst in the Barrington Relays, 2nd in the Naperville North Col- lege Events, and 2nd in the Naperville Central lnvitational. There were also a few low points in the season. The team lost to both their rival tea Fenwick beat the Huskies, 81, and ever-powerful H dale prevailed 107-65. team also lost their open meet by one point. Lock said was a meet the Huskies sho have won. During the season, Lock a few goals for the team. Th goals included winning C ference, being successful Sectionals, placing in the 20 in State, and most imp tantly, to continue improv as a group. While not all th goals were accomplished, team strived to make the s son successful. Caragl summed up the season by s ing, lt was a very succes championship season. - Michelle v ,.

The body of junior Ralph Nybert takes a beating as he counters a take- down attempt. a pin's width from Sectionals Individuals combine creating strength oung and hardworking individuals were what helped the wrestling team remain competitive with the state ranked teams. Coach Zimmerman called them, a good bunch of individuals. ln any match, teamwork was as important as individual per- formances. During early sea- son losses' against Leyden, Stagg, and Glenbard North, the Huskies performed well in the beginning, but then dropped as a team, Zimmer- man said. Despite these de- feats, the varsity wrestlers con- tinued to work hard. Their spirits were lifted in a victory over Fenwick. The wrestlers showed their superior ability by winning by a large margin. Coach Zimmerman said, They knew what it took to win and they were willing to work at it. They proved this throughout the year as they competed in many tourna- ments. ln a double dual with Addison Trail and Conant, the Huskies finished first. At the Lake Park tournament, they finished third in a sixteen team field, with one champion. At the West Allis tournament they tied for first and had five cham- pions, including senior Mark Rogers, juniors Matt McDer- mott, Gino Fioravanti, and Dan Mahler, and sophomore Pete Schulte. At Regionals, they scored a second place. Two and a half hours of practice as many as five days a week was somewhat tough to handle, but as junior lohn Da- vis said, Nobody slacks off. The team was really dedi- cated. This attitude was what made their season as success- ful as it was. Davis said, lt was a great season and we tried real hard. Several individuals were main factors in the team's suc- cess. Mark Rogers, according to Zimmermann, did an out- standing job, and served as the team leader. Matt McDer- mott made a strong showing and has steadily improved, as Zimmerman said. At Sec- tionals, Rogers and McDermott finished first along with senior Andy Calkins, and sophomore Paul Zina. Finishing second were Mahler, Schulte, and Fioravanti. Although the team finished with an 7-10 record, they were much better than their record showed. Zimmerman said, We could have lost only l or 2 matches. Zimmerman did call the season a successful one, and was confident the team would climb higher next year. - Bryan Oliver wb- 1 ll Boys' Wrestling 199 200 Wrestling demands both down his opponent.

They threw the doors wide open and the children of a shimmering summer streamed in, full of anticipations for the coming year. Stu- dents discovered each other again, and each day their familiarity with the crowd of people became stronger. Arms linked with friendship and the mix of colors, religions and personal- ities blended. The camera focused in on the people. A junior with a mohawk and combat boots was making his way down a buzzing staircase. A weak-kneed sophomore stumbled through the lines of her first audition. A boy in a wheelchair chatted with his friend as they went to their next class.

Clubs, teams and activities bonded friendships. The daily routine of classes was planned around seeing familiar faces at lunch, lockers and hallways. The day would end with plans, complaints about home- work, and a general feeling of relief that an- other day was over. The people gathered to leave the school in groups, pairs, or as individuals, bringing with them the fresh recollections of particular inci- dents that would stick in their minds. There were times when they wished they could go back and do it all over again: just to say hello to a special friend, to apologize for some long forgotten wrong, or to find a date for the Home- coming dance - but the year was over. They couldn't go back, but the people that made the school special would be forever preserved - wrapped up in words and pictures ....

SCC sponsored more school events than ver before including Spirit Week, Home- oming, the Holiday Drive, and the umpkin Carving Contest. In previous years, student turnout had een low and inconsistent. Last year, how- ver, 40 to 50 individuals were dedicated nd consistent in their attendance at the arty morning meetings. SCC President pe Dravillas and the rest of the council Lembers were constantly busy planning d participating in school events. Early in the year, SCC sponsored Spirit tfeek, a celebration that included the en- tre school. Orange and blue could be found plastered on buttons, shirts, and walls throughout the school. As senior Herb Borroff said, It introduced fresh- men to the spirit of CPRF. It gave them a good start. Hundreds of dollars were raised on button sales alone. Dravillas claimed that at no other time was school spirit higher. SCC also began working more closely with other student groups. SCC joined hands with Student Council to produce a successful Homecoming. ln December, there was the Holiday Drive. SCC sponsored the collection of toys while Tau Gamma took up the collec- tion of food. The food and toys were given to needy community families. As Borroff said, lt was a very good cause, and it showed in the turnout. The holiday but- tons SCC sold were also a big hit with students. ln February there was the Blood Drive. Maggie Kelly was head chairperson and as Dravillas said, She really made it roll. Dravillas's goal was to get all eligible stu- dents to become donors. The good turn- out was well received. Things could have gone a different way. As senior Scott Nor- din remarked, With the threat of AIDS, l felt that the Blood Drive could have turned out disastrous. The blood was donated to the American Red Cross to help boost the dwindling supply of blood in the blood banks. Over the year, more than 52,000 was raised. About S250 was given to the OPRF Food Pantry. More than S700 was donat- ed to the Red Cross for use in the Mexican Relief Fund. With the help of adviser Mr. Don Lennie and the entire senior class, SCC accomplished what they hoped would be memorable for decades to come. -Bryan Qliver Front Row: S. Dravillas, C. Meyer, K.

C'mon let's be realis- tic. I'm never serious. Riley Lynch leaned back in his chair and let loose one of his raucous laughs. Actually I have a serious side, but I think seriousness is boring and I have a very low threshold for boredom. Considered by many to be the goof- balI of OPRF, Riley Lynch was offered the chance to display his skill on cable TV. I-Ie played the role of host in The Riley Lynch Show. I-Ie also had his own col- umn in the Trapeze, but appreciated the greater leeway his show provided. I-Ie ex- plained that there is material that you have to see, not just read, to be funny. lntona- tions and visual effects played a big part in jokes, Hlike the jello sucking contest on the first episode of my show. We could never pull that off on paper. I am glad I had a chance to do fthe showjf' he contin- ued. I'm glad I have something on TV with my name on it. But still, I wouldn't give up my experience on the paper for anything. But finding time to produce the show was difficult because of his posi- tion on the newspaper. Riley explained, I'll do this show, but I already have an obligation to the Trapeze and I'm not go- ing to Iet this thing take over so much that it affects my work in there. Although his show did not have a huge audience, there was always the hope that the right person would see the show and discover Riley. 'II'm always hoping that someone from C Late Night with Davidi Letterman will call up and ask me to be on their show this year. This is like a sports fantasy gone into the world of communi- cation. Riley's ultimate fantasy was that he would go on CLettermanJ and be so lulie Ginsberg Cassie Giroux Thomas Glenn Kent Glienke Raul Glover Arnold Goetzke 212 good that they would ask me back. In ta I wouldn't mind taking over after Lette man is gone. But now there is no room f two Lettermans. Would Riley Lynch be a comedian f the rest of his life? I-Ie said he would rath work for TV, radio or possibly write a c umn for a major newspaper. Would become a serious writer? Well, I more feedback on the really bizarre st If there's one thing I Iike, just as much seeing people react to enjoy someth I've done, is hearing them tell me thi like, 'Gohl I like that. ' Riley had been getting reactions that since he was in kindergarten. I always saying silly things to get kids laugh. It sort of gives me a feeling of pi er. I can control you. I can make you s doing your work and laugh. I'm kind scared though. I keep thinking they planning my future for me and I'll be fa into telling jokes for the rest of my life was destiny! Not that I'd mind that if job was steady and the pay was better Gne thing was for sure. People appre ated Riley and his sense of humor.

Well, not always. As a mat- ter of fact, there actually was a real, live, and breath- ing guys' drill team: long air, lipstick and all. And they performed t the Match Mate Munch in September. The masterminds behind the success of e guys' drill team were seniors Lissa russ and Bridget Eakin. As Druss said, It all started about two years ago when ne girl, Denise Elliot, did it as a joke. This ear, I thought it would be fun to do it gain, so Bridget and l got about thirteen r fourteen senior guys together. Druss ecided that Match Mate Munch, an vent designed to get freshmen girls in- olved in school activities, would be a per' ect time to make a performance. The eam practiced a few hours each week for heir appearance at the freshmen Munch. Senior Chris Cagnina, one of the mem- ers of the team, said that the major pur- ose for bringing the team together was to 'show the girls' drill team that somebody s watching them and cares about what hey do. lt really wasn't meant to make fun them. But that wasn't to say that the drill team wasn't amusing. Cagnina lt was really funny when we got for doing it because we put on all of lipstick, eye shadow, and wigs. It just crazy. Druss, who was a member the girls' drill team said, The guys their way through our routines, they were hilarious to watch. Their purpose though, was to help the drill team get psyched for State. added, We also did it to make freshmen girls feel more comfortable the high school. At the Munch, the guys' drill team did entire spoof of a typical girls' drill m's routine. Cagnina said, We did kicks, jumps, and everything else the girls usually do. Druss said, There was even a six-year old there that did the centi- pede. Although Druss didn't think the guys' drill team would ever be an organization that did regular events, she hoped that they would do other performances be- cause as Cagnina said, Everybody there really had a great time. f'd do it again in a minute. -lim Davis Six year old Tom Stan sits on top of Bill Langley's shoulders, as he and fellow guys' drill team members Tony Lissuzzo and Dan Higgins perform at Match Mate Munch.

The new store was operated by e business management classes and fi- ncially, by the Student Council. The ea of the store was decided upon during Student Council retreat two years ago. eir goal was to be able to sell orange d blue Huskie items that were hard to d in other stores. A wide variety of items ere sold, ranging from key chains to each towels and sunglasses. Mr. Don Vogel, Student Council advi- L' and the man in charge of the Spirit Store, felt that it had been very successful. l feel that we have done more than we anticipated. ln only one year of opera- tion, the store had sold 520,000 in acces- sories. No real profits, however, had been made yet. lf future profits were made, Mr. Vogel would like to see them reward the students through scholarship foundations. As a result of the orange and blue sales at the Spirit Store, more school spirit had been promoted including the increased involvement in Grange and Blue Day. Mr. Vogel felt that the Spirit Store was well supported by the students and faculty: l think people feel good about their school, and therefore want to have items with the l-luskie emblem. Even the alumni had returned to buy their l-luskie merchan- dise. Although the Booster Club had been very supportive of the Spirit Store, the most support came from the students. lun- ior Daria Pachovsky replied, lt's some place l can go to get my orange blue.

Most students, however, did not express their interest in horses as strongly as senior leff Atwood did. Not long ago, left acquired a new, male member to his family, who was in- clined to eating hay. Pretty strange little brother you say? Actually, it was Atwood's own horse, named Radar. Radar, who is half throughbred and half guarterhorse, was bought by Atwood in August of l983, and was kept at the Salt Creek Stables in Oakbrook. According to Atwood, Radar is a gelding, and stands 5 feet, 3 inches at the tip of his shoulder. He added, Radar is a sweet horse and not very difficult to handle. He's actually quite intelligent.

He also likes to untie knots, and roll on his back. ln addition, Atwood said, Radar likes to jump, and he can clear more than 3 feet, 6 inches with a rider. Also, he does dressage, a kind of horse gymnastics, which involves many refined, intricate movements. Atwood explained how his fascination in horses first began: I first became seri- ously interested in horses at about the age of ten. My mom had mentioned a place where our dad used to go when he was a little boy, so we decided to check it out one summer. l liked it so much that I bee gan to take horseback riding lessons, and l haven't stopped since. He mentioned that other members of his family enjoyed horseback riding too. f-1 Atwood also worked at the stables so could help finance the yearly upkeep Radar, which ran about 353,000 He During a normal week, l'll go to the bles after school at about 4:30 p.m. come back at 8:30 p.m. On Saturday, work there from about 5:00 in the m ing til 5:00 in the evening. Atwood planned on staying as close he could to his horse for the next years, and thus will probably attend area college. ln summation, Atwood s Some people play football and will p tice all the time.

The stereotype of the 80's was alive and well in America and at OPRF. And since seniors were the closest to entering the world of Yuppiedum, it was necessary to provide them with some information on this fascinating new species. Previously undefined, Yuppie came to stand for a variety of things. Yuppies were upwardly mobile persons that clump to- gether in common areas, like Cheerios in a bowl of milk, said junior Mark Lieb. Senior lamie Leighton felt that Yuppie stood for Young Urban Preaching Pup- pies ln Excess. At OPRF there were three types of peo- ple: Obvious Yuppies, Yuppies who de- nied it, and students that couldn't be a Yuppie if they wanted to. A Yuppie- bound student is someone who stays home Friday night to watch Wall Street Week, but Yuppies that deny it simply take investments and marketing instead of a 'basket weaving' course, said senior Brian McClimans. Another senior, Peter Ampe, felt that any guy with a Mohawk, wears makeup and puts eggwhite in their hair, couldn't be a Yuppie if they wanted to. For seniors that were unsure of where they stood, there was The Do-it-Yourself Yuppie test: 1. What is your definition of a Yuppie? Al Someone with a future!

Barbara Spivey Akita Srinivasan Suzanne Stabila Sherri Stafford Mike Stamm Michael Stanard Livin Gut a. Dream any years ago, a movement began in Israel which came out of socialist ideals. Throughout Israel, as welt as many other countries, collective settlements, called kibbutzim, sprouted, where people worked the land of Israel to make it pros- per. Senior Sharon Batter pursued her in- terest in the kibbutzim and she spent one month of her summer as a volunteer work- er in Israel. She stayed in the Negav des- sert on a kibbutzim called Niram. Batter first learned about kibbutzim through her temple's religious school. She was told about the thousands of people who lived on the kibbutzim and support- ed themselves off the land. Factories were set up for the industrial and agricultural work. Each person put all he had into his work and was judged by the amount of work he did. The people, however, were never paid for their work. With this infor- mation and several visits to Israel, Batter decided to try out the communal lifestyle. I loved being in Israel. It was gorgeous, said Batter. It's really interesting to see people tive that way. The whole place is just fitted with idealism, she added. The lifestyle and the work was different on the kibbutzim. Batter awoke at 4:00 41 ...-Q a.m. every weekday and went to bed 2:00 p.m. for the sun was too hot to wo in the afternoon. It's so different from tt life I tive, she said. Batter usually worka in the kitchen or dining room, cteanins She also worked in the factory, packagirl spoons. Att of the work on the kibbutzi was manual labor: It's very agricuttura not urban, said Batter. While Batter stayed on the kibbutzi she was affected by her surroundin There were many immigrants who stay on the kibbutzim whom she thought we neat people. She traveled through I raeli towns on the weekends with h friends. There were, however, some dif cult situations on the kibbutzim. As a vo unteer worker, Batter found it hard t make friends with the permanent settler They're not as responsive as they shoul be, she explained. As a result, Batter b came better friends with the votunte workers. After a long but fun month, it was tim for Batter to leave. I had a wonderfil time, she declared. Batter had accom ptished her desire to try out the kibbutzin and help the people. leanne Tsiotis 11- ,-.,,-, Melissa Unglaub lenniter Upton Stacey VanDermast Lisa Vanderploeg Katie VanVerst Leah Veeninga Brian Vernetti Michael Veum Laddie Vitek Clara Von De Bur Anna Von Dreele Paul Von Hippel Virginia Voss lames Wagener Caroline Waldron loan Walsh lames Wappler Margaret Ward lames Washington Tamara Watson Donna Watts Allen Weinstock lodi Weiss Paul Weiss Rebecca Wepsin: Paul Westbrook lenniter Westergaard Sarah Wheat Patricia White Christina Whitlord Arthur Williams Gwendolyn Williams Nicole Williams Stephen Williams Tangee Williams Megan Winter aff ,X TN: Q an oi asks Aw-1 'fs Q 1 'r ,-ev eaike two t was just four short years ago that seniors were fresh- men walking down the halls clutching backpacks, books, and sporting new jackets.

Senior Arnold oetzke commented, ul would have been ore studious and would have devoted ore of my time to school because l now ealize how important high school is. Col- ges are looking for good students and in rder to get in good colleges, a person must take some reasonably hard courses. Many seniors had advice to share with incoming freshmen.

The first time he flew he ved it: l wasn't scared at all, Leo said. Leo had many interesting experiences, me a little more scary than others. He scribed, 0nce when we were finish- g our longest flight, we got caught in a osswind and while we were landing we lmost crashed into some buildings. Leo id that on another flight, The engine rew a bearing and it made a loud clank- 'ig noise so we had to land on an aban- oned airstrip and have the plane towed lack. ln the warm weather Leo usually flew ance or twice a weekend, often in the arly morning. His family put the plane way between November and March, however, because of the low tempera- tures. Leo enjoyed flying as much as he could. His 'flying sometimes interfered with his being with his friends, especially on weekends, but he didn't mind. When l am up there l feel real proud because I am controlling it myself. lt's like driving a car - only better! -Sue Kennedy In gear and ready, Leo Pearce sits in a position for action as he waits for approval to go up for another exciting flight.

It was a great feel- ing to drive - to have a sense of freedom and responsibility. Gne of the biggest re- sponsibilities that every newly licensed driver had to face, however, was the fi- nancing of his driving habit. Money for gas and insurance posed the biggest financial problems. Some students were fortunate: their parents paid for some or all of their driving expenses. lu- nior Christina Perez's parents paid for her insurance but she said, My friend's par- ents had a hard time at the insurance com- pany because they have two cars and they said she would have to be insured on both. Yet many students paid for their gas with money from their part-time jobs. Sophomore Kerry Adams said, My par- ents are paying for my insurance but l plan to pay for my gas with the money'l hope to earn in a future job. l unior Claire Laible said, My parents pay for my insur- ance. l have friends who have to pay and do it on their own. l don't know how they do lil Students who had to pay for insurance and other expenses had to make sacri- fices. Sophomore Kim Erfort said, l'm go- ing to have to pay for gas so l'm going to have to start saving money. To make stu- dent's finances easier on them, parents were willing to give allowances for gas and special costs. Sophomore Kristin Ar- nold said, My parents are going to pay for my insurance and they'll give me a regular allowance for gas and minor re- pairs. Whether the student had to pay for their habit or not, all students enjoyed the challenge of the new responsibilities of driving. As sophomore Margaret Brett said, lt's a new experience, it's really fun! -Bridget Fitzgerald Driving expenses keep students money consci Getting her money's worth, sophomore Ellen Fi squeezes the last drop of gas to fill her tank.

The incentive of the big ent brought unity to the group. ICC Tulie O'Keefe said, We really well together. We can get things l when we try. The lunior Class Council turned a pre- viously low-treasury, low-attendance council into a hard-working group of stu- dents. Mr. Perry, adviser of the TCC for thirteen years said, The treasury started out with almost nothing, but we've had many fundraising events to cut down the cost of prom. With hard-working ICC officers - Presi- dent Laura Vanek, Vice-President Valerie Molise, Secretary Stephanie Canno, and Treasurer Rainy Giroux - the TCC man- aged to hold many successful fund-raising events. ln the fall, they had a Ghoul-o- gram sale at Halloween, a bake sale dur- ing Spirit Week, and a popular balloon sale at the Homecoming Game. ln the first six weeks of school, they added over a thousand dollars to their treasury. The average attendance of 75 students was a big improvement over previous years of about a dozen students. lCC co-spon- sored an ice Cream Social with Tau Garn- ma to help get senior citizens and young children involved in the school's activities. The TCC managed to accumulate a treasuryiby combining traditional fund- raisers like a bake sale, with new ideas like a balloon sale at the Homecoming game. The large attendance was a hopeful sign of a year of success. -Bridget Fitzgerald Junior Class Council, Front Row: H. White, l. Miller, A. Towle, M. Slogery Row 2: Z. Petrusiak, l. O'Keefe, L.

The cheers from the rowdy crowds were more exciting than ever, yelling lo-dee! lo-dee! lt was Wrigley Field - home of the Chicago Cubs - and of junior Elizabeth Zapler. Four years ago, Elizabeth discovered the magic of the north-side baseball team. For Elizabeth, the Cubs weren't just a summer pastime, they were a part of her life. l'm a major Cubs' fan, declared Elizabeth. Wrigley Field enchanted her and the bleacher crowd was half the fun of the game. Each Cub player was like a dear friend to her. l'd like to think l'm a special fan, said Elizabeth. Elizabeth, however, took her feelings one step further. She became an usher at Wrigley Field, which drew her closer to the Cubs. A behind the scenes look at batting practice and observing the fan's enjoyment of the team gave Elizabeth a more personal feeling for the Cubs. I get to do a lot of things the ordinary fan couldn't do, she commented. Still Elizabeth's enthusiasm for the C did not end at work. There was a twi in her eyes as she related her encour with Gary Matthews and the friendly 1 ing with the pitchers in the bullpen. E beth remembered her talk with H Caray on T.V.: He did not drink all many 'Buds', she laughed. She also s for the Cubs on the radio.

They were marked off by bright red tape. Students mi- grated in the boxes and once a student left the box he soon disappeared. No, it was not some horrible creation from a sci- ence fiction movie, but rather a unique idea given life by the administration: traf- fic lanes in the halls! These red squares were designed to ad- dress the complaint made by a large por- tion of the student body: the third floor main stairwell was to difficult to manuever through. When a student survey was tak- en, The kids said it was a problem, said Superintendent lohn Swanson. lt was a real pain to make your way through the mess, said senior Leslie Parks.

Some people, on the other hand, liked the hall- way the way it was. lt fthe rule! places needless restrictions on your life, said ju- nior David Koch. For those who didn't know how to prop- erly use the red squares, here are simple step by step directions: l. Enter the third floor stairwell via the stairs or adjoining hallways. 2. Make a decision! Either stay and talk or keep going to class. 3. lf you choose to go to class, skip to 475 otherwise continue with ifll. 4. Place your entire body within one of two red squares. 5. Talk with other students in the red l until you are tired of talking or run out time. 6. Exit the red box. 7. Using the passing lanes, proceed class. Hmmm. l wonder if we'll soon n licenses to travel in the halls.

And Nathan didn't like army clothes. He had a genuine in war and the things it involved. Nathan first became interested in war emorabilia when his brother, who en- yed collecting war insignia, took him to few army supply stores. ln addition, Na- an had three uncles who served in mili- ry capacities and he thought that they lso had some impact on his interest in ar. History in school was further ac- ountable for his fascination with war. fter scanning different wars, Nathan de- ided that his favorite war was World War and his most admired war hero was rwin Rommel, a Nazi tank commander ho, according to Nathan, was an expert t camoflague and handled things just ight. Nathan had a variety of army fatigues jackets. He also read many books the war and, in particular, war Regarding the army clothes he wore, Nathan said that his mom thinks there's something wrong but my teachers never really said anything about it. He thought that forty percent of the people who wore fatigues wore them be- cause of style, He recalled being named G.l. loe by a few people only to see them wearing fatigues a few weeks later. He added, Some people just wear them because they've got pockets for stuff. ln addition, Nathan liked to build war models, such as tanks, and enjoyed war movies and documentaries on Channel l l about war. His fascination with war had not waned, because, Warfare changes all the time and there'll always be some- thing new to keep my interest. The more l hear the more l want to learn. He felt wars would never be eliminated from this planet because, As long as there are people who have tempers, there will be wars. Nathan planned on joining the army before he went to college. He felt that the army had much to offer: money for col- lege and discipline that would help in col- lege.

Sophomore Kristin Arnold was interested in classical music and performed in two operas at Chicago's Civic Opera House. During Arabella, held in the fall of 1984, Kristin sang on stage in the chil- dren's chorus. ln her second opera, Othello, held last September and Octo- ber, she was part of the backstage chorus. Kristin said, lt is fun singing on stage because you get makeup and costumes, but singing backstage makes me less ner- vous. She added, My nervousness goes away when l block out the audience. Kristin was taking piano and dance les- When sophomore Kristin Arnold was not per- forming at Chicago's Civic Opera l-louse, she took lessons at the IVS School of Music in Oak Park. Here, she performs in her recital held at lVS. sons in 8th grade, when she was encour- aged by her parents to join the lVS School of Music in Oak Park. Later, a friend told her about children's chorus auditions for the opera and suggested she go. Al- though the competition was tough, about ISO kids for about 20 openings, said Kris- tin, she wasn't worried. lt doesn't bother me thinking I won't make it. l don't worry myself over it, she said. Apparently, she didn't have too much to worry about, she made almost every opera she tried out for. Kristin planned to try out for two operas next year, one called La Boheme. Kristin did not feel as if she wanted to pursue a career in classical music, but said she was happy about the opportunity of performing. She concluded, l have made a lot of friends, and it Cthe operal has taught me the importance of learning the music, and getting it learned on time. -Rachel Brown Melissa Farruqgia lenniter Fedota lessica Feinberg Alfred Fenrick Pamela Ferrell Daniel Finke loseph Fioravanti Douglas Fischer Theresa Fischer Michael Fisers Ellen Fisher Samantha Fitschen Bridget Fitzgerald Deirdre Fitzgerald lames Fitzgerald Kathleen Fitzgerald Latese Fitzgerald Timothy Fitzgerald lohn Fitzpatrick Patricia Flanagan Eric Flanders Brian Flannery Kathryn Foley Christina Follman Stellam Fort Brandon Fox Kordell Fox Luigi Franceschina lason Frank Thomas Frank loseph Frattaroli Karts Frenchak F l is . ,J.gfff:,. ,, 25i2Q!,g.:ggt f ..,, gi- , zz: 'g1wefSf1fiffS2iP.::mw-:wifi air?zfafrzerf-tifalimfuiwsimfgtiiirafssiamevf-iz . a t mama. 4 wqsfswwWiz.--wwfffftfmsr--X t P lgefwkwq b nrwqfmzsssf-Miz? gtqgg-ifas-50limikfssgfgggarymasigtiMimi 5.4-mgaraistigfmr -- w 1-- g vi 3 S , if . 5 i wftsrfzisssssrzgi 4 Bi Smsmrsfsrssis?ssf:SEvt:3s?:m:mr: wfmiwiwslssssfssittMrs: w5::.wf31- .

Yet many students enjoyed a sport that was similar to surfing in many Ways - skateboarding! As senior Henry King said, 'llt's like surfing, but you can't surf in Oak Park. Since the late 7G's, skateboarding had become almost nonexistent, but like most fads, it returned. Although skateboarding never completely died, its popularity waned considerably when BMXingCdirt bikingl became real popular, said junior Eric Lange. Many skateboarders agreed that cruising on a flat surface with wheels was the next best thing to windsurfing, and considered it like a hobby, said Lange. lt's both a sport and a way to get around, said sophomore lim Anstrand.

Not easi- ly affected by popular views, skate- boarders continued to skate and have fun regardless of what others thought about their sport. With the small but enthusiastic influx of skateboarders and the realization that fads come and go, we may have to ask our- selves a few questions! For example, where did l put my Rubik's cube? Who still plays with their Ataris, and will l be spending money to nurture a rock? -Andre LeMoine Although the leaves have fallen and the warm rays of the sun are gone, sophomore lim Anstrand still enjoys the closest thing to surfing-skateboarding! ww .

Or at least that was what sophomore Tom- my Dixon thought when he considered his situation at home. I'd get up at a quarter to six, and milk six cows. Then I'd go to school from seven to five. And before I could get dinner, l'd have to milk another six cows. His happiness at being able to spend a year abroad at school was evident through his words and gestures. But Tommy's eyes expressed his deep love for his farm that he left in Coun- ty Mayo, Ireland. The mounting political struggle occur- Si ing between northern and southern Ire- land might have led one to believe that Tommy was glad to get away. This, how- ever, was not the case. His home was lo- cated in the far west of Ireland, away from all the fighting, so he was not directly in- volved. We hear about it on the news, but it doesn't really affect us, Tommy said. Tommy applied for a student exchange program through his school when he talked to a neighbor who had been to America. And before I knew it, I was here, he explained. Yet in spite of the excitement he felt, Tommy never antici- pated the changes ahead. One of the biggest differences Tommy experienced was the size of OPRF. My old school had only ISO kids, all boys, he said. He was also surprised by the inte- grated student body. We didn't have any black kids at my old school. The attitude of the American teenagers was also differ- ent. The kids aren't as friendly here. Back at home they'd say 'hello' in the street. Here, some kids wouldn't give you the time of day. Because of this, it was hard to find good friends. The only thing some people wanted to hear about was Europe. And when they had heard enough, they let me alone. Tommy felt that more emphasis was placed on certain academic subjects in the US. than in Ireland. We've got more weight on metals and woodworking at home. I'm doing all right in history and English, but your math is hard. The fond memories of Ireland often evoked feelings of loneliness, not so much for Tommy's family, but for his farm, which he missed the most. Sure I'm homesick, said Tommy with a sigh, Hbut I'm glad I came. -Michele Iedlicka With memories'of Ireland in his mind, sopho- more Tommy Dixon tells of his home in County Mayo.

For fresh- Thyra Landownne, the first few days OPRF were more difficult and anxiety roducing than for the average freshman. native German, Thyra moved to Oak ark with her family in August of '85 She not just a freshman at OPRF, but a in America. IIA IYIUNICI-t Thyra was from a small town outside of Munich, Germany. ln the Waldorf school, which she attended in Germany, students remained with one group of people the whole day. Thyra missed this grouping because she felt she was better able to get to know her whole class. You get to learn more of what a person is like, Thyra said, if he is in all your classes. Another difference between Germany ka it and America was the driving age. l'm so happy l will get my driver's license two years before my friends, Thyra said, She said that there were strict rules about get- ting a driver's license in Germany. Dri- ver's Ed, was not offered through the school. Thyra played the violin in OPRF's or- chestra. The orchestra at OPRF was simi- lar to the one in which Thyra played in Germany. Thyra said that she played the violin differently, depending on her mood. 'll make something out of the music if l'm playing in a good mood, Thyra said. She added that if one knew her, he would be able to tell if she was in good or bad mood by the music she played. When the Landownnes first moved to Oak Park, the people were very friendly. Thyra noticed that in Germany, people were more 'lcurious to know about peo- ple rather than to have their friendships. ln Oak Park, Everybody's friendly, Thyra said. I feel very comfortable here. -Caroline Waldron One of the things Thyra was able to enjoy in her hometown of Munich, as well as in Oak Park, was playing the violin.

For a number of years, she swam on TOPS CThe Oak Park Swimmersl and competed with other swimmers. lt's a lot easier in high school, she said, because the swimmers compete with their own lev- el of experience. Amy attained a varsity position during the fall. Amy wasn't uncomfortable swim- ming with the varsity team because l knew some of the other girls because they were on TOPS, said Amy. You didn't feel like an underclassman with them. The season progressed until the state swimming competitions. Throughout the year you'd swim your two best strokes, Amy explained. The breaststroke was one of Amy's favorites and her ticket to State. She qualified to swim the lOO yard breast- stroke time trials during the season, and was partnered with another freshman, Lisa Puccinelli, who made the top l2 in State. Amy intended to continue swimming through her senior year. Though only a freshman, her position seemed secure.

Ac- cording to all his calculations, the time was 2:27 A.M., and for him and most other teenagers in town, that meant late for cur- few. Curfew was the time that teens were expected home in the evenings and was generally agreed upon by both parents and offspring. The exact rule, however, differed for each student. Senior lohn Costello said, Curfew de- pends on where l am going. lf it's some- place that my parents know about, it'll be about 2:00 A.M. lf not, then they'll ask me to be home by l2 or 12:3G.

Ean's political experience began in ighth grade when he captured the stu- ent body presidency ot Hawthorne lr. igh. Soon he began his race tor the Cak ark village presidency. Although lllinois andates that a citizen must be at least l8 ears old to hold elected ottice, Ean per- 'stedz l telt Oak Park at the time wasn't eing ettectively managed, said Ean, nd he continued campaigning as a write- candidate. His motto was 'lpreserve the ast, Progress the Present, Reform tor the uturef' Even though his determination tailed to apture the position ot village mayor, Ean eceived important recognition tor his et- M . . . nal, Ean also was a panel guest on Chan- nel ll's Kup's Show. All this attention Htook a lot ot getting used to. You have to learn to talk to people, said Ean. With the election over and his jr. high days behind him, Ean entered CPRF to become immediately involved in Student Council. You learn a lot from student government, said Ean. Taking student government seriously and striving to suc- ceed, he came up with over 90 sugges- tions tor Student Council. For example, he wanted to reattirm student rights and have a tree expression day, where stu- dents and teachers could listen to each other's ideas and complaints.

A few moments later, screams were heard throughout the hall. The student disap- peared forever. That was the exaggerated myth of the role of the administrators, stepping in only during those distant assemblies or those all too close discipline matters. Over the past few years, the administrators had tried to destroy this myth, developing new ways to communicate with students.

One way ot doing that is through his American Literature class, where he often relates one on one with students like sophomore leannine Crane.

Mrs. Mirta Pag- nucci prepares the lesson plan for her next class. hanging Of The Guard ll good things must come to an end. This was true for history department Head Mr. David Diedrick. In lune, Diedrick re- tired after working at OPRF for 24 years. He spent his first four years as a summer school teacher while working full time at Glenbard East. Then he settled in full time at OPRF. Diedrick had been the history depart- ment head for the past eight years. He felt the job was different than teaching: noth- ing is harder than teaching if it is done right. Diedrick applied for department head because he felt he had accom- plished all that Chel wanted to as a teach- er, and could contribute more as the de- partment head. Although there were many unpleasant aspects of the job, Die- drick said, The pleasant outweighted the unpleasant and working here was an en- joyable experience. Diedrick had no definite plans after he retired, but had many ideas. He and his wife wanted to buy a motor home and travel throughout the country. They might also move to another area, possibly out of the country, said Diedrick. Although the school lost one good de- partment head, it gained another. Mrs. Mirta Pagnucci became the new foreign language department head last year. was only her second year at OPRF, Pagnucci felt being department h would be an exciting opportunity. added responsibilities of a departrr head were more than I thought, : Pagnucci. She supervised I5 teach held class observations, evaluated i riculum, and did general administra work including a lot of paperwork. As department head, I also have to answer a lot more people . . . it's like the b stops here, said Pagnucci. In addit Pagnucci taught two classes each day Prior to coming to OPRF, Pagnucci ' an instructor at Northern Illinois Unive ty. She also taught at Rice University Houston, Texas and spent one year Marquette. Although Pagnucci had only held position for one year, already new ac tions were being made. Two new clas will be added to next year's curriculi lapanese and Italian.

For many young kids, Bozo the Clown was a hero. For girls' P.E. teacher Ms. Robin Huffman, Bozo was a colleague, for Huffman performed on the Bozo show for six year. At age three, Huffman began dancing at Diana's School of Dance. After many years of hard practice and a strong yearn- ing to dance, Huffman became eligible to perform with other kids from her class on the Bozo Circus Show. From ages twelve to eighteen, Huffman danced on Bozo's Circus twice a year, at Christmas time and on the Fourth of luly. During those years, Huffman also was a choreographer for the younger dancers. As she looked back at her dancing career on Bozo's Circus, she smiled and said, It was more just for fun . . . it used to be fun when you were younger. Flashing her charm to the audience, Ms. Robin Huffman shows her expertise as a dedicated dancer. Huffman entered college with the mem- ory of dancing on Bozo's Circus and hopes of further performances on her mind. Eventually, she found choreogra- phy and teaching more interesting. Dur- ing college she continued dancing with a small company in New York, danced in telethons and T.V. commercials and de- clared a major in dance education. The T.V. show experience motivated Huffman to pursue a career in something she loved. As a teacher, she found her experience to be quite helpful. Without my experience on the Bozo Show, l prob- ably wouldn't be so versatile in my teach- ing. Although she had to work harder in school than on T.V. to keep the students interested and motivated, Huffman en- joyed it. Huffman gained a lot from dancing on Bozo's Circus. She said, lt was a reward- ing experience and it helped me to be a deep dancer. -leanne Tsiolis ,Q v-ff Robin Huffman, Physical Education Doug Hunt, Science Marcia Hurt, Physical Education lo Ann Hutchinson, History loan Indelicato, English Diana lvas, Physical Education lan Iohnston, Special Education Darlene Kabat, Home Economics lohn Kasik, Special Education Maryanne Kelly, Special Education Laura Kiedaisch, Special Education Margaret King, Business Education Robert Kinnear, Science Marlene Kolz, Science loan Kotas, Business Education Wess Kott, Business Education Wayne Kress, Industrial Technology Kathi Kyrias, Physical Education Marietta Lacyk, Business Education Walter Lacyk, History Craig Larson, Social Worker Iames Leahy, History Don Lennie, Speech loan Lennie, Mathematics Linda Levine, English Linda Lindon, Foreign Language lim Lock, History William Lovaas, English Virginia Lukas, English Thomas Lynch, Driver Education Peter Mahonchak, English Sam Manola, Science lack Marzuki, History Cynthia Maziarka, Media Services Sue McCann, Altemative Program 277 , 278 l.JI-tl:5SIIXIG IT UID ' ere you tired of staring at plain walls? Did boring 1 ...V classrooms get you down? Some teachers had a solu- tion: they decorated their classrooms to make a more pleasant learning environ- ment. This helped to make learning fun. One interesting room was history teach- er Mr. Thomas Tegge's room. As fresh- man Kara Thorpe said, lt's different than other rooms, it's better because it is unique. Mr. Tegge collected Buddha fig- ures and flags from many countries. Years ago, he had a large statue of Buddha on his desk that was stolen. As a result, over the years, students have given him many Buddha figures to replace the loss. Stu- dents also gave him flags from countries they visited. As Tegge said, lt's just a fun thing. English teacher Mr. loe Granias's room was decorated with paintings on the walls, statues, and a display case. Freshman Lisa barcyzk said, Nl thought it was interesting, lt helps you get into the mood for study- ing.
