While walking through the halls of Rogers, one couldn't help but discover the progress of the school. In the eleven years since its opening, Rogers has definitely scored a whole in one. A whole in one was not an easy accomplishment because there were many sandtraps along the way. Rogers has often been placed between a rock and a hard place. Boundary Changes, decreasing enrollmentsy and teacher cutbacks have added a few strokes onto the school's overall seore. The school's seore was then lowered by the birdie scored by the spirit and dedication of faculty, parents, and students. The school's high reputation was based on its teaching excellence. Achieving high academic standards was the goal of faculty and students alike and through strong effort, it was met. Through this same strong effort, athletics achieved not only the success of competition but the respect of opponents, The boys' basketball team under Coach Earl Cunningham exemplified a sportsmanship that was practiced by many of the teams at Rogers. Throughout the entire year, teams from many different sports also scored successful seasons. Sports activities, Clubs, and the overall spirit at Rogers, along with the Classes that met from 7:30-2:00, built the complex structure that made Rogers a Whole In One. e Nyeita Irish and Chris Chlebek Calling out a play for his fellow teammates, guard Jay Alexander shows exeellent dribbling skills.

Few teams in any sport have won two straight state championships at Yorktown, Indiana. And few teams in any sport have had the gifted ability and leadership of Senior MVP Gaylynn Pohlman with a supporting cast of Sheri Weber, Susie Phillips, Sis Kring, and Juli Swartzlander. Little could go wrong with the amount of dedication put forth by these girls. Practice started officially on August 13, yet the hardwork started early in the season. On any afternoon these fine golfers could be seen sharpening their skills on area courses. This is where a state championship is made. Proving that the long practice hours payed off, the team rolled up a 13-0 record and a Duneland Conference championship. First place finishes were Sinking a putt at Yorktown, junior Sis Kring concentrates on the state meet. With determination and concentration the team won.

Then at 6:00, the beautifully decorated classic and antique cars began to pull into the Park 8: Shop for the 1982 Fall Homecoming Parade. Attention then turned to the weather. Fog set in, which made the seniors skeptical of just how nice their homecoming would be. Nevertheless, at 6:30, the Raider Marching Band stepped off on the long trek to Ames Field. During a short break between the parade and the game, the fog lifted, and the Raiders went up against the Valparaiso Vikings. At halftime, spirits of the 12 Student Life Homecoming Queen escort Steve Mclnlire and Queen Renee Pigg stand before the other four finalists and their escorts Lisa Nicholson, Scott Schultz, Sharon Ross, Rob Towery, Anthony Parks, Rhoda Hil- lard, Donna Fly, and DeriC Davis. Juniors Dan Sells, Mark Gayheart, and class sponsor Mr. Peters hope that their football goal will set an example for the team. Raider fans rose as the Club cars pulled up to the stands to give the crowd one last look before the big moment. As each club car stopped at the 50 yard line, the 34 candidates walked onto the field. Awards were then given to the juniors for the best decorated Class truck, and the cheerleaders for the best decorated dub car.

His breathing became heavy as the moment drew closer. Anxiety attacked him as he nervously fixed his hair and cracked his knuckles. This was his first time ever for a personal job interview. He took a lot of time to think it out, but he finally decided to get a job. He wanted to have his own money, so he could buy his Trans, and to become a responsible person. After all, he was 16 years old, and he decided that it was time to settle down. Little did he know what he was getting himself into. First of all, his boss asked him to quit all of his school sports and clubs. Then he discovered that he was on the shift that works every Friday and Saturday night.

No more time to go out with his girl. What little time he had was divided between his girl, his job, and his homework. It seemed like after he got the job, his teachers began to give him more homework. He tried to study at work, but more than once a customer asked him what was good on the menu and he recited his French ll word list. He had to work hard to keep his grades up. In the long run, however, these sacrifices were balanced out by the good feeling he got by being responsible enough to keep a job and keep his grades up, and also knowing he had worked for his money. Oh, and about the Trans, well that's many jobs away. -Scott Barnes lobs 81 Money 15 A Polo shirt and cotton panlx are Before Raiderette practice, Mi- Tom Thmnas' spring mlo. dwllv hxinskl xhuwx us her style.

He couldn't think of anything worse than getting up in the morning. This was the first year that Rogers opened at the crack of dawn, and many students had a difficult time adjusting. In order to be in class by 7:30 each morning, many students had to get up as early as 5:30 just to get ready. Many tactics were used to get up, and stay awake in these wee hours of the morning. For some, the clock radio on volume 10 did the trick; others needed a couple of cups of coffee. Those who really had trouble getting out of bed in the morning had to resort to a cold shower and breaking out the Coast deodorant soap, the eye opener. Many mothers and fathers had to get up to scream at the kids. These tactics were successful. After completely convincing themselves that they were awake, students went on with serious business. After a nice long shower, the hair had to be dried. After a nice long shower, the hair had to be dried. After this, girls still had to apply make-up and curl what to wear. After this was all completed, it was time to do the rest of the homework, while concentrating on the gourmet breakfast consisting of cold pizza and a glass of Coke. Many students didn't have time for breakfast, which benefited the French Club donut sales. Eventually, some students and teachers got use to driving into school at sunrise. In the long run, all deserved a pat on the back for facing those dreaded mornings at 7:30. -Janelle Jones 5 U '2 ClHYCourls : Following Coach Fischer's orders, Justo Samalio, with tennis shoe at hand, is ready for an early morning jog.

It brought about images of jacked up Camaros and oversized engines rumbling around the inside of rebuilt fiberglass bodies. The smell of burning tires and the roar of engines were quickly thrust aside by the foreign putt putts of Hondas, Toyotas, and Voikswagons. In order to attract attention, many students added designs to their cars' decor. Some of the cars sported scorpions, unicorns, mountain scenes and, of course, the well known racing stripes. Along with the American flag, these features, once considered extras, became standard equipment for high school students' cars.

Everyone learned to be careful - sometimes the hard way. Accidents and speeding tickets were always a danger and many students found out what it was like to be stopped by the police.

Trusting a tattooed sailor leads to Dark Deeds Dark Deeds at Swan's Place was the first melodrama performed at Rogers. As in every melodrama, the audience had its share of participation. Boos were heard as the villain walked on stage; and the hero was cheered on as he entered. Dark Deeds was set up to look like a vaudeville stage, which was very effective for the audience. All action took place in a tavern in Monterrey, California, 1890, where the villain, Montague Leech iDan Giossengeri, and his right-hand woman, Carlota Castinet de San Diego tMichelle Savinskii, shanghaid innocent young boys to ships that sailed to the China seas. They operated from a tavern that belonged to an old prospector known as Sourdough Birthright tCreg Hinchmani. When he died, the tavern was inherited by his only living relative, Bertha Birthright iSusie Phillipsi. She made the tavern her home, which gave Montague no choice but to get rid of her until an English sailor, Jack Swan tTony Babovaci, entered the scene and offered Bertha his protection. As the play continued, the vaudeville plot became more entangled with humor, which kept the audience rolling in the aisles throughout the show. -Kryket Mars Spring Play 27 A Moment in the Spotlight The annual student and faculty variety show Bits and Pieces, as usual, was a great success. A variety of talent was shown, ranging from Rush's 2112 , to Gayle Ruggles and Justo Samalio's version of Just You and I. As Susie Phillips and Tony Babovac met Somewhere Down the Road, Dave Pritchett and Gordon Gardner rapped about Your Mama. One of the most unusual acts had Leslie Slater, Robin Newson, Illa Wilkins, and Kathy Mitchell performing at a church. Because of such acts, the show will long be remembered. For exciting entertainment in between acts, Kim Williams and Penny Gipson danced for your delight. The audience experienced the extremely dry humor of veteran emcee, Mr. Bernard Lootens.

The fever first appeared at Rogers during homecoming preparation and began to swell during the crowning of the queen. The fever then spread to all of Michigan City during basketball season. The success of the basketball team brought more supporters to the Raider gym than in years past. As the team climbed closer and closer to the top, the spirit climbed as well. At this time, Esprit was formed. This group, led by sponsors Karen Richey and Myra Remmel, helped to keep students in the blue and gold by selling Rogers megaphones and painter hats. Spirit rose again for the Rogers-Elston game and truly dedicated Raider fans went to great lengths to find the right outfits for spirit week. Students spent hours after school working on banners to give the team members the support they needed. The week of Sectionals boosted spirit even more. Students spent most of this week psyching the team up, getting them ready to go into one of Indiana's toughest Sectionals. Another spirit week took place with outrageous days such as toga and punk rock day. Under Myra Remmel's direction an organized cheerblock appeared at Sectionals. This group of enthusiastic fans won Rogers a spirit award. The Notre Dame cheerleaders chose Rogers over the other five schools in the Sectionals as having the most spirit and sportsmanship. Finally, during Regionals, the spirit reached its peak. The close Sectional games kept students fired up, and the pep session and Regional parade around town forced MCR to have as much spirit as possible. Even after the loss in Regionals, students kept their spirits high, and continued to wear their blue and gold, proud to be a Rogers Raider. -Scott Barnes Being voted as the best looking guys at Rogers, Delray Brooks, Tim Pritchett, Steve Kring, Tom Thomas, Wayne Buell, and Curtis Mitchell take part in the first annual Sir-Esprit competition.

However, during my high school years I decided that brain surgery was definitely something I could master. If it was good enough for Jethroe Bodine, it was good enough for me. This ended upon my college years when the priesthood beckoned. However, I'm not Catholic so I dropped the idea. Where else could you get a job that starts off at $7,000 a year. I have now decided to turn to the nuclear peace movement. Those films from Nebraska and Wyoming have affected me. Graduate school at Berkeley now appeals to me.

After working for a railroad for 17 years, I decided teaching would be an ideal career, so I went back to college and here I am! -Ben Toth -I have always aspired to become an educator. I suppose if I had not achieved my goal of becoming a teacher, I would have sought a career as a professional rock 'n' roll singer. -Karen Williams -For me the play was the thing. My finest hour was my hour upon the stage, especially in roles where I could cry real tears. So I entered college as a drama major. But somehow the English poets, Russian novelists and American authors won the toss. So here I am, grading essays instead of writing them. In my 55 minutes upon the stage in A107, I play many parts. Daily I project my voice to the back rows. Sometimes, while grading papers, or listening to excuses for late papers, I cry real tears. Did I make the right choice? I do love those shining morning faces and hope my last scene of all will not be mere oblivion. -Frances Basques -My conception of teachers was that they were sane and conservative-which I definitely wasn't. What I always wanted to be was a lawyer. I also was interested in investigative journalism and social work. My real desire was to be a rock star like Grace Slick. I sang with a band, but I'm much too shy for that lifestyle. -Karen Richey -Living in the I'hill'I country of Tennessee, a secretary would have definitely been a step up the ladder of success. Fortunately, I fell in love with a guy who had a college degree, and he removed me from Ilthem thar hills and placed me in M.C. when I began my college education.

After the date was set, the girl ran off to Chicago, South Bend, and other places to search for a dress and her escort went to the nearest formal wear shop to rent a tux. Dinner reservations had to be made, because prom night is the one Saturday evening of the year when McDonaIds is nearly deserted. 36 Student Life Although high inflation hit many, An Evening in Paris was the largest prom in Michigan City. Nearly 350 people attended the Rogers Prom. Last years king and queen attended the event in order to give up their throne to this years new royal couple, John Parry and Sharon Ross. After prom, students flocked to the Cafeteria to spend time eating and dancing in the Hawaiian Islands. Sponsored by the parents, the success of post prom was shown by good times and many smiling faces. -Janelle Jones When- oyes meet, w do hands m Phil lanhtmd, hlx d.m- I'xlm Neat the Eiffel Tower, hmrhm quudllh Mid Mdlk MlHWdF' hardnm grm'ls Dan mulls .13 Dan Pm, tmd Unissy 1'0UIUHHS WLH- lurth t-u mls hm ddH' from 1hr .HP.

The 1983 Graduates Were The Class With Class The end came where the school gathered to cheer the state championship girls' golf team and watch the basketball team defeat Marquette to win the sectionals. But on June 8, the Rogers Gym filled for a different reason. It was the graduation of the class of 1983. Wearing the blue and gold of Rogers for the last time, the class of 1983, amid the clicks of cameras, was led into the gym by president Curtis Mitchell. After the music by the band and choir, and speeches 38 Student life by dignitaries and valedictorians, the 450 graduates received their long awaited diplomas. Leaving the weeping mothers and proud fathers time to contemplate their children's accomplishments, the class of 1983 filed out of the gym together for the last time. Emotions flowed as graduates laughed and cried. Their distinguished conduct at the commencement exercises proved to all that they were the class of '83. -Chris Chlebek Before the ceremony, Mike Janosky, Mark Potter, and John Parry talk.

AAL Bente,the Raider Band-Aid There was Lisa Nicholson, drum majorette, Michael Morse, Father of the band, and then there was Bob Bente, the three million dollar man. Mr. Bente was the backbone of the band. He purchased a truck and painted a Raider head along with Roger's Marching Band on the side. He drove the band truck to every competition that was attended, carrying band uniforms and percussion instruments. He was the brain of the band who also managed the budget. Mr. Bente organized the collecting of parking money for regionals, the newspaper and can drive, and candy and nut sales. He was also the hands of the band who repaired the instruments for members. Mr. Bente's weeks and weekends were spent under a magnifying glass looking for broken parts and loose screws. Most importantly, he was the personality of the band. As president of the Booster Club, he kept the parents interested and happy with what they were doing. He worked especially hard keeping the students laughing and smiling. Painting a smiley face on the fender of the truck, he kept the students on the buses behind him smiling. It was hard work, but for a group of kids like this, it was well worth it. said Mr. Bente and like usual, he was smiling.

And surprisingly to many, the majority chose ISMA. Every year, top Choir students board buses for Gary hoping for a first division rating. If accomplished, they go on to Indianapolis the following weekend to compete at state level. For many, it was the first time singing in front of an audience and just the anticipation of it caused many students to develop sudden cases of laryngitis. Minnesinger Shelly Morris was the soloist from Rogers to receive a 15t division rating in Indianapolis. But there was also the ensemble group of Lori Ahern, Karen Hughey, Sheryl Lansberg, Veronica Lee, Becky Nauyokas, Rosetta Parish, Chris Petrick, Karen Robinson, Alena Saxon, Kathy Stoll, and Julie Wible who received a first.

But the worst was yet to come. The sky-high price for repairs left many students' wallets as well as their banking accounts empty. Teachers were smarter than the students. When the Ra-Ra-Ra, Rattle, Rattle, Thunder, Clatter, Boom, Boom, Booms hit them, they didn't go down the street to their friendly mechanic. instead, they dialed the phone and said, Mr. Sobecki, my car died. Do you think that VICA might look at it? While students paid absurd prices for parts, VlCA-AUTO sold the same parts whole- sale. They also repaired cars for less than half of what the mechanic down the street charged. The class also received six credits per year and competed locally. After a year of many mistakes, some stu- dents regained their senses and took their RA-RA-RA, Rattle, Rattle, Thunder, Clatter Boom, Boom, Booms to VICA, saving themselves enough money to rebuild their dreams for a wild weekend and put enough gas in their cars to 82222 speedily past the yellow sub- marines on wheels. -Amy Keller $$$th Enllapol . mm at V 7 AMERICA LAKE REG'DN DECA: 1st row-Angel Everetts, Kathy Wisser, Rhoda Hiliard, Kathi Warner, Cheryl Hicks, Julie Coble, 2nd row-Mr. Rick Commers, Vicky Lovvorn, Dave Perry, Hugh Johnson, George Twigs, Brian Logman, Sue Mitchell, 3rd row-Abe Mussa, Brad Werner, Ray Houston, Tom Sosinski, Brian Cerrillos, Chris Weiss, Mike Fly.

How about a free trip to New Orleans? Junior Tom Bunton did both. It all started when Tom took the DE class offered here at Rogers. DE is part of the national organization of DECA iDistributive Education Cooperation Associationl. Tom was encouraged by his DE teacher, Mr. Commers, to run for president of DECA's Indiana chapter. Other DE students quickly became involved by making buttons, pencils, and posters all bearing Tom's name. The time soon came when Mr. Commers took Tom and few of his classmates to the DECA meeting in Indianapolis. There, Tom won his votes by presenting a five minute speech. Since he was voted in as president, he has been asked to speak at various places and is looking forward to his New Orleans trip where all the state presidents will meet and discuss ways to better the DECA organization. -Tracy Jovien DECA, ICT And VICA Auto 47 h'l h ' ' -h' , Student politics battle gazzgarzmtgtZ'imt . .

Without the Student Senate, the social studies classes would run uninterrupted by video-taped campaign speeches. Indeed, the Student Senate is an important part of Rogers. These future political bosses were cheered on by their supporters as they passed through the halls. Once elected, the Student Senate had a job to do and it wasted no time getting it done. Each representative spent hours perfecting his pose and smile for RYB pictures. But that is not all. These fearless defenders of democracy took the time and effort to seriously consider important issues, such as when the next meeting would be, and they were not afraid to lobby for their platforms even if it ended in a filibuster. Realizing that even heads of state need vacations, the Student Senate granted itself a well-deserved junket to Valparaiso University. Yet another function was performed by the Student Senate. These elected officials forfeited a day at school, braved the worst weather conditions and the longest McDonald's lines, all to gain hands-on experience working at the polls, because they knew that someday they, too, may be running for an office, perhaps even for the oval office. -Jeanette Scott FIISHMAN STEERING COMMITIEE: M row-Debbie Protrowski iPresJ, Valarie Pavolka iSecJ, Vicki Peters iVice PresJ. second row-Darnita Johnson, Chris Spangle, leanne Mark, Michele Garay, Chris Moss, Daniel Rajsic, Mike Luce, Colette Gayheart. third row-lames Cartwright iSponsori, Andy B.

Rogers' 1979 senior class president, Tom Alevizos, is a fine example of this. A University of Michigan graduate, Tom began his professional career in 1983 by running for 6th Ward City Council seat. While at Rogers, Tom and his vice-president, Jim Joiner, worked hard to bridge the gap between the school board and the Student Body. Some of the benefits Rogers students enjoy as a result of their efforts are the music in the halls and student speakers at graduation. Most students at Rogers don't usually take the student elections seriously because they assume that nothing can be done by the students. Tom Alevizos' example shows that if students utilize the system and work within it, they can get the changes they want. The main difference, Tom said, between professional politics and student politics is that in high school, students are not hampered by pressure and corruption. Unfortunately, students don't usually utilize the system as much as they can. Students should become more actively involved in student politics, because it is there that they have a chance to test the process for themselves before getting out in the 'real world'. Tom Alevizos believes that experience in high school politics helps make for more conscientious voters, and even future office holders. -Jenny Franklin STUDENY SENATE: Front tow- Joel Cartwright, Colleen Cox, Lisa Garay, Cary Brinkman, Tammy Allie.

Student Politics 49 Rogers students learn to Talk Back to the Computer With a rapidly expanding technology, mathematics and computers are gaining importance at Rogers. Students who are involved in the Club are trying to understand the complexity of the technology. Ever since their establishment, numbers have fascinated man. More than just addition and subtraction, problems, tackled by club members, require an involved chain of thought and an educated background. An involved chain of thought and an educated background have often turned students away from mathematics and computers. But club sponsors, Mrs. Warren and Mr. Mack, have added a great deal of interest. They have managed to decrease the complexity and increase the fun. One way of adding interest was to take a field trip to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. The club members were able to see computers from the past and the future. While providing fun, the club has become famiiarized with an expanding technology. The members are not turned away or afraid of mathematics or computers. I feel right at home at a computer and can program it to fit my needs, states senior club member Hassen Hakim. With this in mind, the Math and Computer Club has been established as a learning guide for those who use it. -Chris Chlebek After programming the computer, Quentin Kniola plays with the apple organ.

What's mx line According to some, our math department is Above Average In the past, Math Club member Steve Steele has been known for his ingenuity at solving math-related problems. Steve's future interests, however, do not lie in the field of mathematics. Instead, Pre-law study now occupies his attention. As a junior, Steve competed in the State Math League and took first place. While competing with the Calculator Club, Steve brought to Rogers three consecutive victories, the school's first ever in that field. When asked what advice he would give to his fellow students, Steve replied, I would encourage everyone to broaden his areas and work at his weak points. It is easy for one to stress the area he does well in. -Shelley Gurrola Solving math problem Steve Steele demonstrates one of his many abilities Math 8i Electronics 51 Playing the game of Anything Goes Guerra, Guerre, Krieg is what the Spanish and French declared on the Germans when Anything Goes't didn't go.

Q5 .3' ff: ' ix Going beyond the Call of Duty Most Rogers students were happy with any job. However, the DE program helped Scott Iseminger go further by getting him a job as a part-time writer for the News- Dispatch. He took statistics for the basketball games and wrote several stories for the sports section of the paper. Scott had several obstacles which hindered some of his writing. When he first got the job, he didn't know how to type, a major set-back for a journalist. Scott also had very little experience with writing of this sort, and his involvement with the wrestling team caused him to miss some hours. In spite of this, he managed to keep up. When asked about his job, Scott commented, I like working there. It's a really relaxed atmosphere and I get along fine with the other writers. Not only that, but mom is glad I work. She's been behind me 1000A. Scott was one of those fortunate students, who with the help of the DE program, was able to combine learning with making money. -Dawn Pagels Catalyst 55 Yes Tim Drennan must keep his eyes on the keyboard as he types sports copy.

With strong leadership from its co-editors Nyeita Irish and Chris Chlebek, the RYB broke away from the traditional three column layout and chose to vary the layouts for each section. Having spent a week at Ball State University Journalism Workshop, the co- editors decided to introduce for the first time the sidebar. Academics and Organizations chose to use it for their sections. Although it required more work, the staff realized its visual impact. Hard work was exhibited by all the sections as they planned and prepared their copy, pictures and layouts for each page. With award winning photographers Kim Requarth and Gigi Samalio, the visual impact of the book was greatly enhanced. With a poor economy against them, the business staff brought the book in the black. It was with utmost respect and appreciation that their sponsor thanked them for a job well done. -Sponsor John Remmel A Student life editor Scott Barnes works on a four column layout for his section.

One example of the many snow lovers at Rogers is Tim Smiertelny. When the snow falls, senior Tim Smiertelny and others like him grab their skis and head for the powder. Tim learned how to ski at Ski Valley six years ago. With the help of summer jobs he has purchased over 400 dollars worth of ski quipment. With this large investment, when Michigan City's winter is over, Tim heads for the mountains. During spring break Tim went to places such as Winter Haven, Steamboat Springs, and Vale, Colorado.

And to show appreciation, the Horticulture Club, like several other clubs, had a thoughtful idea. Send a flower. Pushing brown boxes, Club members distributed the flowers on holidays such as Halloween, Christmas, St. Patrick's Day, and Valentine's Day. Coming in colors of red, green, white, and yellow, the flowers provided a good feeling for a girlfriend of close companion. Providing a special message to a friend, the flower also helped to support the club's activities. For the price of a dollar, it offered more than its worth in kindness and thoughtfulness. Many a day was brightened with the smiles of those who were sent a flower. -Chris Chlebek 60 Organizations Hortieullure members gather What's My Line vvvrgrvt'n tm Christmas Awed by the presence ol llH' sndkm, vlvnwntdry students learn about Biology from Mr. Langv.

The people on RYB are not the only ones who feel this way about Mike's talent. The Rogers Theater Department often asked Mike to create their concert folder designs, and the Canterbury Theater employs him to design posters for their summer productions. For some, the job of taking the theme A Whole in One and tying it in with the concept of Rogers as a whole would have been a difficult one, but because of his previous experience, Mike was able to put the two ideas together into a classic yearbook cover -Shelley Gurrola Art 8i Fashion 63 Counselon' Assistants: from love Lisa Hallin, Lisa Stephens, Terry Brown, Kim Everett, Annette Krueger, Mary Streetingr Second low- Shonda Trunk, Kim Taylo.

Rushing emergency messages to students and teachers nowhere to be found, digging through piles of referrals, and doing odd jobs for their sponsors make each day for these assistants exciting. This year, however, the assistants were slightly different. Instead of just girls running errands for the counselors, principals, office and library, the guys helped out, too.

Much to my chagrin, I was shoved into the back pocket and taken for a ride - to study hall in the cafeteria. I couldn't believe I was in study hall because I knew I wasn't allowed there, and my kind of action could get my client into trouble. Nevertheless, I decided to take my chances. My student found a place for us in the back where it was quiet and cozy. When the time was right, he laid me on the table and removed my wrappings with the speed and agility of an expert. He put me in his mouth and took a bite. I was delicious, all smooth and sweet. Suddenly, the study hall teachers appeared and took the rest of me away. He laughed and finished me off pointing out that no one is allowed to eat Milky Ways in study hall. -Anonymous Finding sanctuary in the student's pocket, the Milky Way bar is carried off to the study hall.

The Mat maids were subject to garlic wrestlers, screaming parents, and the ever fun job of rolling up the mats. Bat girls stood in the wind, rain, and heat making sure equipment and scores were kept in order. Stat girls found themselves bandaging wounds and battling the cold winds, which ripped through every football game at Ames Field. Throughout the year, no matter when, we found these hard-working girls pulling together to cheer Rogers' teams on to victory. -Dawn Pagels 68 Organizations . What's My Line Home Of the Caught at times doing RAIDERS i Dirty Deeds They were overworked and overlooked by the players and the crowd. Under these conditions, it was hard to figure out why any normal high school girl would spend free time washing dirty uniforms, putting away equipment and taking tickets. One possible explanation was that the girl was a sports fanatic. She could rattle off Ty Cobb's lifetime batting average, the winner of the '64 Worlds Series and Joe Montana's total yards passing in the '82 Super Bowl. Then there was the girl who felt it was her personal obligation to the school to give every ounce of strength to the team. Organization was her middle name. She assigned tasks to each girl, set up schedules, and decided when to get new t-shirts. The coaches who were busy with the players liked to turn things over to her. Even though she didn't know the difference between a batting helmet and a football helmet, she knew they both had to be put away after the game. A girl who had a crush on a player almost always became a bat or stat girl. This way she could ride on the team bus and sit on the bench with him and take care of his equipment. Unfortunately, while the love-struck bat girl sat talking to her guy on the bench, the base runner heading for homeplate tripped over the bat she forgot to pick up. However, her dedication and devotion more than made up for these small miss-takes. -Lynn Grantz Bat girl Janet Patterson really knows the score.

Julie Daniels pointed out, This way one person doesn't always have the pressure of being captain.

Stepping in at a tough time, Trish Dittmer took over the helm as head coach. It was a learning experience for both Coach Dittmer and the girls. The girls trained year-round, with heavy emphasis on the summer sessions. The highlight of the year was MVP Tracy Becker, as she qualified for the state meet in the 200 freestyle.

In years past, they were a team with a winning tradition, but now they were Running on Hard Times A chilling wind swept across the sectional race course from the north. The temperature continued to fall and a cold rain made its way from the low clouds. The runners began to come out of the woods and head for the finish line. Leading Rogers like he had done all season was All-Sectional and All-Regional Team member Jim O'Connor, finishing second. Bringing in a strong 18th place finish was senior Raider Award winner Chris Chlebek. A regional berth looked certain when junior Dan Palmer came in at 215t, but the top five runners on the team score and the fourth and fifth runners were 515t and 54th respectively. The season came to a discouraging end for Chlebek and Palmer. A discouraging end was not in the way of O'Connor. He went on to place ninth at the regionals and qualified for semistate. During the entire season the team was greatly hampered by the fourth and fifth places. Running against the state's elite, the team posted a 5-9 record. Running on hard times was never so evident when injuries to O'Connor, Palmer, and sophomore Bill Baugh developed. Yet, even the toughest of times could not dampen the team's spirit and closeness. After running long miles on the road, close friendships came naturally. Another bright spot for the team was the work of Dennis Stanley. Establishing a running camp on the city's west side, Stanley taught youngsters the fundamentals of the sport. The running camp will provide Rogers with futureathletes and is a perfect example of a student's contributions to the community. -Chris Chlebek Cross Country 89 The Unselfish Girl Hoopsters Were TOUGH TO BEAT The girls, second in conference standings, posted a 15-4 season record and became sectional champs.

Although the girls lost in the Regional final game by one point to South Newton, they came away winners none the less.

Coach Drake described the season as a disappointing one, They twrestlersi didn't do bad, but they didn't do as good as they could have. The individuals with good performances on the team were senior Captain, Joe Lilovich. He finished the season with a 29-1 record and 22 of those wins were pins.

The swim team continued to have a lack of numbers, 17 to be exact, compared to the normal 40 to 50 man squads. This is not to say that the team was without superb showings.

LaSalle, and Portage in the regular season, the team compiled a 17-3 record. Throughout the season the starting five changed and a reliable bench developed. The forward and center positions were interchanged among Keith Mensah, Robb Towery, and Keith and Kevin Kiner. Senior guards Jay Alexander and Wayne Buell and junior guard All-Stater Delray Brooks caused fear among the opposition with lightning speed and tenacious defense. With the positions filled and a strong bench, uncertainty still lingered for Coach Earl Cunningham who replaced Bill Hahn who accepted a coaching offer at Ball State University.

Many who entered the working world found the ability to type, do bookwork, take shorthand, and keep a file to be advantageous when applying for almost any job. Students who took these classes were also often prepared to meet the needs of everyday life, such as figuring income tax or balancing a checkbook. The business program catered to these needs. Classes offered included Typing, Accounting, Shorthand, Marketing and Merchandising, Data Processing, and Office Machines.

And then, as you were just about to hand it in, you discovered that you had typed the footnotes incorrectly? You could have avoided all that frustration by simply taking College Typing. Mr. Toth taught a College Typing class each semester this year. The course was designed specifically to teach students skills such as footnoting, making carbon copies, and word division. In the form of timed-writings, they also received the usual dose of speed and efficiency exercises. Students began the course by learning the keyboard of their IBM Electric typewriters, and developing basic manual coordination. The semester culminated with the typing of a sample term paper, which utilized the many helpful abilities the college-bound students had acquired. -Todd Helms Business 119 Outlining some fine points on term paper techniques, Mr. Lonzo confers with Dan Glossenger in his office.

Everything happened to them. Not only did they go broke paying for announcements and senior pictures, but they also had to either get accepted into college or start looking for a full-time job. They even had their own disease to battle, Senioritis. The majority of those hardy people still managed to get through the year unscathed. There was only one thing that struck terror into the hearts of those brave people, one thing that could have dashed all their hopes of ever graduating. Either in the fall or in the spring, each Sociology or Economics student was forced to complete a term paper. Even when the teacher tried to disguise the paper with such titles as Research paper or 1000-word report, the students knew it all meant one thing, 2 months of isolation. It 120 Academics was a time when each senior had to lug around a pound of note cards and half the set of Encyclopedia Brittanica. He faced the battle of condensing a two-page magazine article onto a single note card, and tried to convince Mr. Lonzo that such words as acerbic, relegation, and fatuous were not copied from the article but are a part of any high school senior's vocabulary. With the deadline nearing, the students sat up until three or four in the morning pecking out their paper. When that sacred day came, the term paper, note and bibliography cards were carefully carried to their final destination - Mr. Lonzo's desk. It was a lonely job, but with the term paper finished and a semester of Sociology or Economics under their belts, the seniors were ready to meet the challenges of the world. -Lynn Grantz- Pleading with Mr. Lonzo's Sociology class, Red Cross between the llnes representative Gail Bale tries to get students to donate bloods Ms. Michelle Heeg - Chewing on the end f h 'l ' d , ' Connie Erickson couldohafer spvsgrcrll slhe hgaziOShengZards.

Majoring in speech and theater at Ball State, she directed the fall musical Bye, Bye Birdie in her first year at Rogers. In addition to her directing talent, she was also a sponsor for the class of '85. Besides the three hours she taught at Rogers, Ms. Heeg also taught two hours at Elston. To be a student in Ms. Heeg's class was an experience in itself. She made her classes more interesting by challenging Ms. Richey's US. History class to a game of Jeopardy. Her Government class took part in a Valentine's Day party by dressing as famous couples. Before coming to Rogers, Ms. Heeg taught social studies at Krueger, however, she liked teaching at a high school level best. After only one year, Ms. Heeg has made a place for herself at Rogers. -Lynn Grantz V, g Kidding around with her class, Ms. Heeg tells a few jokes before getting down to work.

Does your knowledge of geography end with the greater Michigan City area? One cure for this ailment is taking social studies classes at Rogers. All students had to take three social studies classes, Geography and U.S. History, which were two semester courses and Government and Sociology or Economics, which were one semester courses. Geography teachers Miss Miley, Mr. Geisler, Mr. Cartwright and Mr. Schuman taught students to read maps, latitude and longitude and the ever popular memorization of states and continents. in US.

A slighly more challenging elective social studies class was World History, taught by Bernard Lootens. He took the students down the world's llmemory lane beginning with the History of History and ending as close to modern history as time permitted. Getting to modern history usually depended on how many stories Mr. Lootens told during the year. Perhaps after having taken these classes and studying diligently all would have found social studies as exciting and interesting as Rogers students did. -Ania Kedzierski Exhibiting a wide variety of reactions to a US.

People look forward to the wide variety of guest speakers which the Forum invites each year. Attending the Forum is a truely cultural experience. It exposes the average person to people and ideas with whom they otherwise would never have come in contact. Some teachers in the social studies department sold tickets to the students at a special student rate. A season pass for five dollars was good for all the Forum meetings during the year. A few teachers even gave extra credit for attending the meetings, with some requiring a written report. This year the list of guest speakers included Linda Yu, from Channel Five New. in Chicago, who talked about her trip to China, and commedian Mark Russel who joked about Washington D.C.'s political humor -Ania Kedzierski Students patiently listen as a social studies teacher expounds on the virtues of attending the Sinai Forum for extra-credit.

By the time John was ready to graduate, he had climbed the math ladder straight to the top, had weathered the storm of postulates, theorems, corollaries, and proofs, and had come out of it with a small amount of sanity. By wading through all the math concepts John had bettered his understanding of math and his understanding of his own capabilities.

Keeping up with the times, the Rogers math department introduced a computer class during the 1981-82 school year. The class was designed for students who planned on computers as a career and for those who just wanted to learn about them. The popularity of computers was great enough to fill three classes. At the beginning of the year, the students were taught the history and interworkings of the computer and computer commands. During the year they were taught how to write programs and put them into the computer. It's fun, said senior Karen Robinson, who plans to study computer science in college. It makes you stop and think. You have to go step by step through what you want to do before you can start to write it down. If the interest in computers continues to increase, computer class will become a major class at Rogers. -Lynn Grantz Centering on a math problem, Sue Wiederhold and Laura Rajsic find out that two heads are better than one.

Once banned from the classroom, those hand-held geniuses are now as common to math classes as a 4t2 pencil.

In addition to the basic four functions, special features could turn the calculator into more than just another mathematical instrument. For the student who had to reluctantly leave his walkman at home, the calculators that played music supplied him with vibes to get through the day.

Students addicted to video games loved the new calculators that played their favorite games. This way, they didn't have to wait until after school to play. However, some students got too wrapped up in a game and completely forgot the test they were working on. Solar-powered calculators were perfect for those students too cheap to buy batteries.

The English Department thrives on a Little Bit Of Everything Anyone who holds the old saying Variety is the spice of life to be true would certainly have been pleased with the wide selection of literature courses offered this last year. Every student had to take at least one literature course, but many took more, owing to the extensive range of topics these classes covered. With their strong emphasis on a traditional classical background, the popular American and English Literature courses constituted the solid foundation of the literature curriculum. Students in American Literature began by reading excerpts from the diaries and journals of America's pilgrim forefathers, worked their way through the Realistic and Romantic eras, represented by Demonstrating her prowess at the microfilm reader, Mrs. Cofer passes on this skill to several English students.

English Literature surveyed the writings of authors from the British Isles, starting with the Anglo-Saxon epic Beowulf and terminating in a study of the modern-day writers T.S. Elliot and James Joyce. This course also introduced to many students for their first time the geniuses of Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, and Coleridge. Many of the other classes, such as Shakespeare; Mystery in Literature; Bible Literature; Legend, Myth and Fable; and Science Fiction specialized upon periods and ideas presented in American and English Literature. Mr. Remmel, who has taught the Shakespeare and Bible Literature courses, commented that the specialty classes were often more exciting and educational for both teacher and student, mainly because they generated excitement among students who found increased attraction in the great assortment of individualized subjects. There is something for everyone. -Todd Helms In American Literature, Mr. Peters gives Kim Appleby a bit of his rare and valuable advice. between the lines Journalism workshop made the Best Even Better Although communicating with his reader is the main function of any journalist's work, a good journalist is also aware of the importance of working with the members of his field. On this principle, the staffs of the Catalyst and Yearbook attended a Journalism workshop at Notre Dame on Oct. 27, where they sharpened their skills in copy editing, headline writing, advertising, and sports writing. Led by Catalyst sponsor Mr. Johnson and RYB sponsor Mr. Remmel, the staffs arrived at Notre Dame bright and early to attend the first of three classes for the day. Having a few minutes to spare before the first session, Mr. Remmel took a few students on tour of the historic Notre Dame cathedral.

Students find there's more than one way to Do It Write A sea of notecards, stacks of books, and hours of work all added up to a term paper. It was a memorable experience never to be forgotten by the Research and Expository Writing Class. But before the late hours could be spent researching and writing, the basics of grammar had to be reviewed. Students were taught the correct way to compose paragraphs, essays, and themes. In the end, most students were happy with the results. For those who wanted to keep their creative juices flowing, Creative Writing was a popular class. Students were encouraged to use their imagination and creativity as much as possible in their writing. Besides regular assignments, students kept a daily journal. Many times students had some really bizarre stories to show for their efforts. In the end they had fun creating their own ideas and expressing themselves. 130 Academics Trying to improve writing techniques and styles were the goals of students who took Techniques in Writing. Each week, students wrote papers using different techniques. At the end of the semester 3 600-800 word term paper using the new techniques was required. Students were relieved when it was all over. To improve basic writing skills, students had a choice of Improved Writing Skills or Grammar and Composition. The purpose of these classes was to improve the general composition of themes, and essays. Of course, grammar was thrown in to add a little spice to an otherwise boring class. With such a wide variety of classes, Rogers students chose their own class to fit their style. -Gayle Finney Director Mr. Troyer gives last minute instructions to his speech students on turning plain students into stars.

RAT stands for the Rogers Academic Team. They competed against other area schools in a quiz-bowl type situation. Questions ranged from Biology to English and Math to grab-bag . 1982-83 was a rebuilding year for Coach George Hultgren and his RATS. Seniors Steve Steele, Joffer Hakim, and Nyeita Irish led the team. Juniors included Eric Brown, Lisa Garay, Andrew Houseman and Dwayne Spradlin. To brush up their knowledge, the RATS practiced before school on Wednesday mornings. Actual matches took place after school, and the team won the majority of them.

Although lack of money prevented the addition of classes like Psychology or Physics II, the students, who went on to pursue a career in a science-related field, were provided with a solid background in the basics. The science a students gets at Rogers will get him into any college in the country, said department head George Hultgren. In the Jets test, a state-wide science and math competition, Rogers has always placed in the top three. Although a few classes were lacking, the overall quality of the courses enabled the college-bound students to compete with the rest.

Cloth traps, killing jars, and midnight searches are all reminders of bug collections. It was one of the few biology labs where students had to worry about the specimens crawling away. The lazier students picked up dead bugs from windowsills, but most eagerly armed themselves with nets and went out in pursuit. After an exhausting day of chasing grasshoppers, digging up pillworms, and running from hornets, the captured insects were placed in jars filled with alcohol and left to die overnight, in preparation for pinning them. Many students, however, woke up only to find out that half of their collection had walked out on them in the night. On the night before the deadline, last minute searches in light fixtures and car grills were made for the remaining bugs. As the students with friends hunted, traded, and named insects, without realizing it they had painlessly and enjoyably learned more about insects than they could have out of a textbook. -Lynn Grantz u . , , and the rib bone is con- nected to the backbone .H sings Linda Kozinski to fellow students Dave Pritchett and Janet Rhoades.

Modeling the latest in this year's spring lineup in labcoats, Mike Kieszkowski takes over temporarily for Mr. Feeney in Biology. Formulas, elements, smoke, and sulfur stench help students Step Up In Science Every year, freshmen must decide between two science courses, Biology I and General Science. In Biology, teachers Mr. Feeney and Mr. Lange introduced their students to the theories, different forms and reproduction of life. By learning how to dissect, use a microscope, and take accurate readings, the students gained knowledge of the basic lab skills which they would use later in the advanced science courses. General Science, taught by Mr. Feeney, was offered for either one or two years, and covered a much wider range of subjects. Its students had a sampling of biology, astronomy, geology, and chemistry. Taking both years of General Science was equivalent to the one year of Biology l in that both courses qualified the student to move on to Chemistry I. Both Mr. Hultgren and Mr. Secord taught Chemistry I. The work for the class included memorizing the names and formula of various elements and compounds, and knowing and using many equation. H2C03, CGH 206, H2504, and electron dot diagrams soon ecame as familiar to all Chemistry students as their A,B.C's. They put their textbook knowledge to the test in labs, and somehow managed to avoid demolishing the classrooms, although the stench from their notorious sulfur experiment almost forced evacuation of the entire second floor. When not lecturing to their class or supervising a lab, Mr. Secord and Mr. Hultgren would occasionally display a bit of chemical wizardry, thrilling their classes by creating dazzlingly colorful substances and smoke. Those who survived Chemistry I would advance to either Physics, Biology II or Chemistry II. -Todd Helms 134 Academics between the lines Science fair contestants are well in step with The Forward March .

Foreign words with an American Accent Over the past few years, the number of students in foreign language has grown tremendously. Why would students put themselves through all that work? More often than not, it was because students would need a foreign language to get into the college of their choice. Most people thought that language classes were hours of learning vocabulary and verb conjugations. Even though there were serious moments, language classes were often very enjoyable times. The best part was being encouraged to talk in class, but in their respective foreign language. It was often complicated and at times even frustrating. It was fun learning to communicate in another language. Speaking a foreign language was also getting a taste of another culture. This was a major part of Class. Students learned about the foods, traditions, and people of the country where that language was spoken. Students also had the opportunity to travel or even host a foreign exchange student. Groups have visited Mexico, Spain, France, Germany, on a tour of Europe. There have also been exchange students from Mexico and Germany. Overall, the assets and knowledge from a foreign language were often useful.

The next 21 days were spent everywhere except for their hosts homes. Retreats, trips to Chicago, and especially parties were on the agenda for their stay in America. Every night was spent socializing with other Americans and Germans. The exchange participants from Germany learned many words from animal magnetism to kinky. Americans learned German fashion and music. The American families adopted their hostees as sons and daughters for their short term stay. All though three weeks seemed like a long time, it was too short for the Americans and Germans. The Germans grew attached to their American hosts and they became close friends. Though March 26 touched the hearts of students, the April 16 departure moved them even more. The exchange students and their families met at Golden Bear for their final day in America. Hugs, kisses, and mostly tears were shown as the bus pulled out and the students headed back to their hometown, Pfaffenhofen, West Germany.

In any case, few seriously consider the fact that high school in itself can be a training-ground for a life-long career. Ever since Rogers opened, the nationwide OEA iOffice Education Associationi program has been helping students take advantage of the job skills and experience they can learn as part of their school day. CHO tCooperative Health Occupationsi and COE tCooperative Office Educationi are two member clubs at Rogers in the OEA program. CH0 and COE students take inside training at Rogers, in a classroom, and then leave school for other jobs at various area businesses. After they complete school and move on to full-time employment, they can use and take credit for the valid business experience they have gained, thus giving them a head start on students who have either held no job or have held a job which bore no relation to their future careers. -Todd Helms COE: From row- Sherry Morlan, Maurisa Udvare, Mrs. Schlegelmilch, CHO: flonl Row- Mrs. Rhoades, Debbie Allison, Working cheerfully away, COE student Middle row- Beth Bendix, Beth Scaggs, Pat Staples.

Every year, Health teacher Mrs. Myra Remmel offered two choices for outside classroom work - a poster, which could be worth up to a grade of C or a special project, for which the student could earn a B or an A. The students who completed their projects took them to various elementary schools to exhibit and explain them to the grade-schoolers, and to use later as teaching aids.

However, the number of girls enrolled in Vocational classes at Rogers has been on the rise for the past four years. Drafting, Blueprinting, and Auto Body are some of the classes more heavily populated by girls. Hope for careers in maIe-dominated fields was the inspiration for many girls to put down their aprons, take tools in hand, and join ranks with the boys in vocation classes.

First, it was considered an easy A. Second, the students may have needed two more credits to graduate, and third, boys wanted to be the male minority in a predominately female class. Students who signed up for sewing soon discovered that it wasn't as easy as they had thought. Before starting the actual sewing, students tackled bookwork and studied fabrics, sewing machines, and patterns.

A silent classroom full of students, heads bent over pads of paper, pencils scribbling furiously, beads of sweat forming on your foreheads. A classroom of Yale hopefuls? No! It's an art classroom at Rogers. Rogers had several art classes which catered not only to the average student but also to the artistically talented. For the especially gifted, the art courses helped them develope their own way of expressing themselves through color, texture, tone and composition, giving them the opportunity to experiment in areas where they hadn't had a chance to explore. The students explored various aspects of art such as working with clay, making pottery, weaving and, of course, sketching and painting. The more advanced students in three dimensional art, taught by Mrs. Mershon, tried jewelry making, batiking and copper enameling. The two dimensional art class, taught by department head Mrs. Arlene Ross, was for students who had taken Art II and wished to continue with sketching and painting. Thanks to these, the walls of Rogers came alive. -Ania Kedzierski Putting the final touches on his artwork, junior Robert Myers finishes his project, Making sure his colors are perfect, Tony Spencer touches up his painting. 144 Academics With a look of satisfaction on her face, Cindy Wozniak dusts off her sculpture.

These students helped Mr. Troyer get the scenery ready for the fall musical. Putting their artistic abilities to good use, they created tools for the imagination in scenery. Though it wasn't an easy job, the stage crew enjoyed the work and managed to have fun. One advantage of working stage crew was learning about the behind the scenes activities of putting on a production. Some of the members were also actors and actresses and appreciated the experience. -Ania Kedzierski Students victimized by plants as Crime Takes Root He was no different than any other student at Rogers. It could have happened to anyone, but he alone was the victim of a crazed Dieffenbachia. He was reclining on the couch in the library, reading a Hot Rod magazine, when a huge potted plant clubbed him over the head with one of its foot long leaves, snatched his Snickers bar and barrelled its way out of the library. Enraged, the boy began pursuit of the thief. Rounding the cafeteria corner, he caught a glimpse of the plant slipping into the horticulture class. He crept into the greenhouse in search of the violator. Slowly, he waded through the forest of plants, peeking between ferns, ivy, flowers and giggling horticulture students. Finally, through the fogged windows, he spotted the Dieffenbachia, posing as a tree outside the courtyard. Nonchalantly, he walked over to the green menace, humming quietly. Then in an outburst of anger he grasped one huge leaf and ripped it from the stock. The score even, he made his way back to the library. Once again reclining on the couch he settled back to begin reading. Hysterical screaming startled him from his magazine. Looking up he saw a spider plant devouring a freshman's homework as the screaming girl watched horrified. If the horticulture classes weren't so busy making wreaths and corsages, getting carnations delivered on special days, raising poinsettias, nursing plants, sowing seeds and landscaping various sites around the school, he thought to himself, then maybe they would have more time to discipline the foliage. -Trudy Hixon Neither rain, nor snow, nor dark of night can stop the horticulture students from delivering carnations.

I think I'm going to be sick! l'Personally, I think you're overreacting. This is 1983, sending a boy a flower is no big deal. Would you get your head up off the desk and stop moaning? Here he comes. Now you crawl right back here and sit down! Relax and act casual. Chewing your nails is not casual. Calm down and breath deeply. gasp uh ugh You're going to hyperventilate if you don't relax. He's got the flower and here he comes. I'll go sharpen my pencil and leave you two alone. Why are you laughing? Did he say something? What did he say? He asked me about Biology.

These people would study hard all the time and still have time left to compete for honors awards. One of these awards was the BAR. Daughters of the American Revolutionl award. Gaylynn Pohlman and Ron Delco won their award by writing an essay. The teachers voted for the students they thought were most deserving of the award. The characteristics which were looked for were leadership, cooperation, respect, honesty, etc. Another honor presented to some Rogers students was being chosen to be a representative of Rogers as a state delegate.

One award that was based solely on superior performance on the P.S.A.T.lPre Scholastic Aptitude Testl was the National Merit Award. To be eligible for this award, the students needed to score above 189 on the index. The national Merit Scholars at Rogers were Kurt Teets, Steve Steele and J Dwayne Withers.

Joffer was chosen as one of the ten out of state applicants who was accepted to the University of Michigan Medical School. Originally, there were three hundred out of state applicants, but after being evaluated, all but ten students were eliminated. The criteria for being accepted depended on these requirements: an essay, test scores, recommendations, an interview and the activities the applicant had participated in during his high school career, Mr. Lonzo, Mrs. Presser and Mr. Hultgren supplied the recommendations, but the rest depended on Joffer alone. Because he was accepted, Joffer will complete his undergraduate study and proceed straight to medical school, whereas his fellow students at various other schools will sweat blood to maintain an A average and then pray they are accepted. Joffer worked diligently at his studies in high school and is certainly deserving of this honor.

The telephone's cry was muffled by the week old term papers heaped upon the desk. After a frantic search, General Lonzo finally located the phone and mumbled a gruff hello with his pipe still clenched firmly in his teeth. On the other end of the line was Colonel Trueax. He expected a mob at the concert that evening and was in desperate need of a few members of Lonzo's organization. After agreeing to lend a hand, General Lonzo sent a wire to Major Joffer Hakim. He ordered the major to find five members and meet in the auditorium before the performance. Dressed in special crowd control attire, dresses and heels for girls, suits and ties for boys, the five privates collected tickets, passed out programs and maintained order at the door. Concert patrol was only a minor part of service in Lonzo's army, also known as the National Honor Society. Serving as judges for the Kiddie Parade, ushering for the Drum and Bugle Corps performance and Miss Indiana pageant, organizing the annual Bits and Pieces show and conducting the Honor Society initiation were all part of a year's active duty for the army. Working under General Lonzo's tyrannical eye, the troops were required to stand for hours at a time collecting money for the Michigan City Scholarship fund drive. It was especially difficult for the privates to accept the rejection, but the brave army endured. Under General Lonzo's iron fist, the privates endured the extra activities thrust on them, served both the school and the community and finally marched down the aisle on graduation night, gold tassles swinging proudly. -Trudy Hixon Foreign Language Honor Society: Row one: Gaile Cernius, Andy Smith, Elaine Baugh, Andrew Houseman, Seung Sim, lane!

Upon entering the grounds, they were aware that they were being watched, but realized that the ceremonies must go on. Once in their predestined places, they turned. With only the glow from their candles, they could make out forms sitting in the chairs, parents, of course.

They had to adjust from being number four in high school. As sophomores and juniors, they were always caught in the middle. Sophomores were too young for most activities. Juniors wanted independence but couldn't quite handle it. Finally as seniors, they faced the hardest but best year of all.

Unfortunately, many disadvantages Senior lynn Tarasick shows her pride for the class of '83 by adding a little decoration.

But after six years in the United States, Chanbo Sim has become well adjusted. Born in Seoul, Korea, Chanbo came to the United States by the help of his aunt in 1976.

The final step was going to John Glenn High School in Walkerton where he officially was sworn in as a citizen on November 24, 1982. Chanbo came to America and loved it.

In order to broaden their field of knowledge, seniors had to use school books which cost a small fee of $25.00 or more. The seniors also wanted to show everyone how good they looked so they spent up to $100.00 or so on senior portraits. Of course, future plans had to be made for college. Entrance exam fees for this were outrageous. Who Wants to pay $1045 just to get into college? Not to mention paying for college exams, the seniors were required to pay $7.50 for a cap and gown for commencement.

He attended a basketball camp with the desire to be a better ball player. Delray left as an improved player with numerous awards. Another characteristic of a fine athlete is drive.

Last in line, last in spirit, and last in importance, fortunately, this predicament doesn't last forever. The life of a freshman can be anything but easy. After a while, the average freshman realized that an underclassman usually took a back seat to an upperclassman. He also soon Iealized that being a freshman meant being the last called down to the gym or to assemblies. Fearing the ridicule of the upperclassmen, freshmen seldom participated at pep sessions. Fortunately, this dilemma lasted just one year. They are now 1984 sophomores. -Amy Dolson and Janet Morrisroe Freshman Laura Corso adds her creative flair by taping flowers on the freshman truck for her first Rogers homecoming parade. Not having a licence or a car, these freshmen bring back the old fad of cramming into a pickup truck.

The academic standards of area high schools have risen and Rogers will keep up with them.

The word dissection created many different emotions ranging from terror to excitement. I think it's gross and I don't want to do it. stated one discouraged freshman. There obviously was something totally repulsive about the circulatory system of a worm for some ninth graders. Look Others are literally fascinated by dissection. It's cool to see how the insides look and work. I can't wait until Biology II when we can dissect sharks. another freshman exclaimed. Most of the freshmen look forward to it. But very few are apprehensive. Once they get going they really enjoy it because it's something they have not seen before. Mr. Lange stated. It was apparent through the enthusiasm of the freshmen that the first inside look wasn't as bad as they predicted it to be. - Betsy Peck While searching for the gizzard, Suzanne Hallman and Kolly Mars dissect their frog.

As the bell,rang, students pushed and shoved their way out of the classrooms and ran toward the cafeteria. Some brought their wallets and ran for the hamburger room. Crowds of hungry mouths screamed for french fries. A smiling lunch lady appeared from nowhere with a tray of steaming hot french fries to quiet the savage beasts. Students paid for their food and found a table to hide behind. In the corner, Joe threw a fry and Michael fIipped some corn off a spoon and hit Joe in the face. The food fight continued until one of the assistant principals appeared and took them to the office, leaving a disaster of fries, corn, spilled milk, and hamburger buns behind. The custodians flew to the scene with mops and brooms. Within five minutes the floor and tables were spotless. The Dieticians and Custodians quickly pushed the tables and chairs into place and they set up the salad bar and Iunchline once again. Without the assistance of the feeding and cleaning crews at Rogers, the students wouldn't be satisfied. , -Janet Morrisroe lorraine long - Nurse Del lonzo - Social Studies Bernard Loolens - Social Studies Delano McMillian - Social Studies Sarah McNabb - LD.

staffs brainstorm for months and others give no thought to choosing a theme for the yearbook. With the talent at Rogers, the 1983 RYB let the student body choose their theme by capturing the strive toward excellence. Many of these talents were unrecognized by many, but they did not go unnoticed by the RYB. Just as talents must be displayed, emotions must be captured. The theme does just that. A WHOLE IN ONE does not only deal with golf, but also with academics and organizations as well. Most of all, the theme must recognize the people who made Rogers one of the best schools in Indiana. The faculty, principals, cooks and custodial help worked long hours to provide the proper learning environment. Underclassmen contributed to this environment of talent, spirit, and excellence. Whether behind the desk or on the playing field, they complemented the work of the whole. For the past four years, seniors have worked to score A WHOLE IN ONE and on June 8, 1983, they held their heads high, as they realized their success as the class with class was meeting as a whole for the last time. Though this unique combination of '83 will never occur again, the talent, spirit, and excellence will always keep alive the memory of the 1983 class that gave Rogers High School A WHOLE IN ONE! -Coeditors: Nyeita lrish Chris Chlebek Having fun in the stands, seniors Polly Jasicki, Anne Scott, and Teresa Gayheart savor a 14-0 football victory over LaPorte. 230 Closing Winning the Battle of Yorktown, Sue Phillips and Caylynn Polman The freshman decorating party t . . t . . . .
