IT'S ALL IN THE GAME Most people have probably heard of the game of Life . The funny thing is, life is just that — a game! However, it is not a Trivial Pursuit of wealth, fame, and fortune; it is a significant pursuit of a college education or a career. Just like other games, life has winners and losers, rules, and obstacles. In order to become a winner you have to overcome obstacles and learn from your shortcomings. One of the greatest obstacles of recent school years was faced in 1985. The first teachers' strike in Michigan City's history, coupled with a blizzard that blanketed most of the Midwest, closed schools for weeks. For some, this vacation provided a rest from the hustle and bustle of school. However, for many it was a wrench in the proverbial gearbox of the school system. But, just as Michigan City dug itself out of the worst snowstorm since 1978, the school system dug itself into the midst of its first strike. Despite the shadow cast by the strike, our Blue and Gold came shining through in both athletic and academic performances. Our academic team, coached by George Hultgren, posted its second consecutive undefeated season. These undefeated back-to-back seasons have given Rogers the reputation for academic excellence. The Raider girls' golf team, also coached by Hultgren, completed an undefeat- ed season and extended its dual-match winning streak to 69. Senior wrestler Leo Wilson ad- vanced to the state championship meet where he was de- feated by the even- tual state champ, Keith Huddleston of Avon. Rogers' students also gained na tional recognition through their dra matic performances. Fiddler on the Roof for example, was dedicated to the plight of the Soviet Jews. Rabbi Joseph Edelheit was so touched by the gesture that he sent a prepared news release to UPI and to the Soviet Jews. 23 4 fruHEUT 4 tkttoemit ?0 fPekTf 42 ft ♦ venue 1 2 ♦ fhcviri th m SD ;§b One way to judge a winner in the game ot Life is by viewing how they come through when the chips are down. Judging from the results of the 1984-1985 school year, Rog- ers' students have proven they are winners in this game. -Tim Drennan 2 Student Life
