No. I didn't think so. Did you ever feel like jumping for joy when your call-out slip says: Principal's office immediate- ly ? Me neither. But I'll bet you take pleasure in bustin' through the door when Friday's 1:55 bell rings. It happens to everyone. They find something they like about that 'dreadful school'. For those who starve for the weekends, make it a special point to get extra rowdy at Friday night's football game. Some unfortunate souls must stay home and cram for the term papers due on Monday. But when those pa- pers come back with nice fat A s on them, they've got that celebrating feeling scribbled all over their faces. That same feeling screams through your body when you come across that finish line, beating your old time by a whole minute, even if it was the worst time of the race. And what about the time the Spanish Club took a field trip. There was a lot of cheering going on behind the bus that broke down and couldn't get back to the school in time for class. Class isn't that much fun any- way. Afterall. you just sit there, laugh- ing at those who don't zip their pants or comb their hair or write their 100 sentences for being late and now have to write 200 sentences which will be due the next day. Well, maybe there is something to celebrate in this school. Hey, it's Rog- ers' Sweet 16th birthday. That's it! Let's celebrate!!! -Lori Grams Cindy Burns shows how sweet it is to be sixteen.

After the car decoration awards were given, it was finally time to an- nounce the queen. Tension filled the air and Mr. Adams made the an- nouncement that Anastasia Fegaras, representing the Academic Team, was Rogers' 1986 Homecoming Queen. I felt really fantastic, Anas- tasia explained. It felt great when they announced my name and all those people in the audience were cheering for ME! Anastasia is sure to remember her night as Homecoming Queen, as will all the other girls who participated in this special moment. Homecoming is an event that most of us look forward to each fall. Cathy Drzewiecki summed up homecoming by saying, I didn't even want to win, it was just fun being a part of it. -Amy Russell The candidates and the escorts wait for the announcement ot the 1986 Homecomng Queen From left Mke Herald, donee Dumas.

How am I going to get a car to deco- rate for the homecoming parade, and who will help me decorate it once I find one? What color dress should I buy? What will I do if it rains? These are some of the many questions that run through a homecoming candi- date's mind after she has been in- formed that she has been nominated to represent a club in homecoming. This year, twenty-seven senior girls were lucky enough to be able to ask themselves these questions. Once answered, the girls busied themselves with preparations for the big night, October 10.Shopping was done for just the right dress, tissue flow- ers were made by the gross, and that important phone call was placed to the perfect escort to ask for his assis- tance. The weather is not as easily con- trolled as the other items in question, but fortunately, the weatherman co- operated totally this year, providing not only clear skies, but nearly ideal football weather . The candidates, their escorts, and drivers met at the Park-n-Shop to get ready for the big parade down Franklin Street to Ames Field. The band led the parade, followed by the class floats and then the candidates in their well- decorated cars. During halftime, the candidates were introduced to the spectators and awards were presented. In keep- ing with the tension-building tradition, the awards for the best-decorated cars and floats were announced first. For the third consecutive year, the class of '88 took first place for the best- decorated float. Minnesingers took third place honors for car decorations, and Math Club took second. The first place award for the best-decorated car was shared by Spanish Club and 9:30 VIC A.; this was the second con- Hey, now that's a fire! The flames blaze higher and higher and so does the Raider spirit. What's going on back there, ? one freshman asks an- other. I don't know, man. I think one of the mad scientists upstairs has built a bomb to blow up the school. I'm going to tell Mr. A. Moments later a loud intercom comes on full blast. It's Mr. A. This is rumor control. No, there is not an attack of foreigners loaded with atomic bombs in the back of the school, nor is that the new smoking area. It's a bonfire! Come on! Get out there and help celebrate ... ah ... celebrate ... celebrate everything! Go yell and scream and cheer and go CRAZY!!! Mr. A. excitedly invites all students to join the party. But we'll have no daredevils. Anyone who touches that fire gets a three day vacation in the in- house room. So the freshmen decide, Hey, let's go check it out. The band is playing the fight song as the cheerleaders fire up the crowd. The football team is doing their thing to psych them- selves up for the big game. Mr. Lange introduces all the mem- bers of the fall sports teams. Par- ents and fans grow closer and closer to the fire. The spirit's hap- penin' here at Rogers. Catch it! Catch it! -Lori Grams- The cheerleaders strut their stuff to the fight song as the firemen anxiously await to extinguish the fired-up crowd. Now that's a fire! , exclaims Mr.Kent Lange as he fires up the crowd at the bonfire 8 — spirit Fired up and ready to cheer, sophomore Mike Alt stirs up some spirit 9 — spirit The Raiders let off a little steam at the bonfire Anything Goes! Friday night. The curtain opens. The audience hushes as the music begins and the lights go down. No one knows what to expect because tonight — Anything Goes ! The play begins aboard the U.S.S. American ocean liner, where the ar- ranged marriage of Sir Evelyn and Hope Horcourt is to take place. Evelyn and Hope, however, don't love each other, which becomes quite obvious when Billy, Hope's old flame, stows away on the cruise to win her back, posing as such characters as Public En- emy No. 1, George Bernard Shaw and a Chinese gambler. Billy runs into his old pal, former evangelist turned sultry night club star, Reno Sweeney who preoccupies” Sir Evelyn while Billy tries to find Hope. If this isn't confusing enough, Moonface Martin, Public En- emy No. 13, and his sidekick Bonnie Mrs Horcourt (Kym Hoover) smells something fishy going on as Bitty (Mike Alt) and Hope (Erica Wagner) putt a scam on her Is this the new Wang Chung? wonders Moon (Mark Crag) and the Purser (Bob Sicko) as Ching and Ling (Janet Botinger) and (Kim Withrow) board the ship Reno Sweeney (Mary Koselke) and her Angels (Haytey Edinger.

All of these sordid schemes lead to a turn of hilarious events in the end. This year's cast faced many obsta- cles but they managed to pull togeth- er to put on one of the most successful musicals ever. Perhaps the reason for their success had something to do with the fact that Anything Goes made it's debut on Broadway exactly 52 years ago on November 21. the same night as this year's performance.. The good luck seemed to have rubbed off quite well. As for the cost, what did they have to say about themselves? It was great! Since I've only worked on Stage Crew before, it was like looking out on the other side. I couldn't hdve made it through without the help of the rest of the cast and crew!, remarked sopho- more Mike Alt about his debut. When asked what his most memora- ble moment was, Kevin Beckner an- swered, Standing out on stage in my flowered bikini underwear duing dress rehearsal! Probdbly the toughest part about being in the musical was having to sac- rifice some of life's sacred moments. What was one of the biggest sacri- fices? “Sleep!!! , according to Wendy Seifert. Even though Saturday mornings, grades, and lots of sleep were given up. all the hard work poid off with a smosh performance. “Anything Goes proved to be another wonderful rea- son to celebrate. -Cathy Drzewiecki -Amy Russell Contemplating.

Summer sure goes by in a blur for something that takes so long to get here! The first few weeks of summer are reserved exclusively to clear heads of the senseless jumble of information ac- quired during the past nine months. There's no need to know that pi( )=3.14 nor to remember that the pa- tella is the real” word for kneecap. During summer, the world complete- ly metamorphoses into a different place. Or. maybe it's just that the world looks different through heavily tinted Ray Bans... Summer school is one thing to do for fun during summer. Just kidding. Or. of course, there's also a job somewhere out there willing to take up some of your time in exchange for some moo- lah. Work is a good place to think about what you are going to do when you get off work. Summer is prime time for the traditional family vacation. The entire family crams into the aging sta- tion wagon and drives for endless miles to look at something that really isn't something you care about. Oh. fun. Aside from all of the above, summer is the BEACH: the gossip and social life, windsurfing and Hobiecatting. waves crashing, coconut oil. blaring jam boxes, bikinis, and burning sand — THAT'S SUMMER!!! -Lori Scott Ronald McDonald tags along behind Eric Schiegelrruich. servor, as Eric leads the Summer Festival Parade down Franklin Street Jeff Bell, senior, keeps score for the semi-state baseball competition held at Ames Field -12 — student life What's New With Fashion?

Guess what red shades plus a red sweatshirt plus a pair of headphones equals? suuojf) Dfouj uoLuysejj o So what's new in the world of fash- ion? Guess. I don' know, what? Guess! If I knew. I wouldn't ask you. Guess is a brand of clothes that al- most everyone is wearing! Along with Guess, there are many other popular styles worn by students. Mini-skirts are worn all year round, even in the dead of winter, proving, It is better to look mahvelous than to feel mahvelous, if you know what I mean, as a famous trendsetter once de- clared. Denim and leather are always other fashion statements. As Tom Blanton explains, Blue jeans are comfortable. They'e my style. I can't wear new clothes; they have to be worn out. Gucci sweatshirts replace the Coca Cola fad of '85, coming in purple, yel- low, red, and many other colors, all with the Gucci logo plastered on the front. Something no one can decide on, is whether to wear their suspenders on or off their shoulders. But whatever the choice, they always looked great. Last, but not least, is the jock look, which most girls love. It's when the guys wear the slept-in-look and still look terrific (especially if a tank top is involved). This is a place of many different styles. But no matter how we dress, we always look great! -Lori Grams -Amy Russell Chillin' in their leather and denim jackets. Tom Blanton.

Just think for a second what fun would school be if you had no one to whine to about your Bio 2 test that you flunked or about the new girl in accounting that turned you down? Life would seem pretty tough without your pals there to listen. Friends are so important in so many ways. Just what is it that we love so much about having them? Being with my friends gives me time to be myself, says Lisa Kniola. Accord- ing to Heather Davison, All of my friends are original and unique-that's what I like the best about them. Brad Kiser looks upon the more lively aspects of having close friends. Friends are always fun to party with and they help you out when you need it, too. So the next time you need a shoul- der to cry on, someone to laugh hys- terically at when they have ink on their nose, just someone to spend some time with, just look over your shoulder. With little doubt, you'll find your best buddy there to pull you through. -Cathy Drzewiecki Once again.

Celebrating the winning season of the boys' basketball team, many stu- dents and teachers participated in the traditional “Spirit Week . Many were very enthusiastic in dressing up and hall decorating. Streamers, banners, farm- ers, athletes, balloons, and posters blazed throughout the school to ignite more school spirit. When the spirit finally started to en- gage, some disappointing news arose, The pep session scheduled for Friday of that week was cancelled. According to Mr. Lange, the sponsor of the Stu- dent Senate, the coaching staff was upset with the attitude of the team and felt that poor attendance existed at the basketball games. Feeling mislead and denied, the sen- iors as leaders got together to form a demonstration at 9:30 am, Wednes- day, March 4. After a short meeting between Mr. Adams and the Senate, a pep session was scheduled for 1:30 pm of that day. The Senate and other volunteers had approximately three hours to unite and work together. Tri- cycle racing, licorice eating, and pie throwing took place at the pep session where everyone became a winner. More pep sessions were scheduled during the basketball tournament. In the first game of the regionals, Rogers had to hoop against the Wildcats from South Bend Riley. Entering the pep ses- sion, the basketball team waltzed in with a coffin filled with stuffed wildcats on their shoulders. The team got psyched up by “slam dunking the stuffed wildcats. Between all the excitement and cheering, the pep session was raided by the “S.L.A. , the Senior Liberation Army. Members had kidnapped sever- al teachers and held them hostage in their hideout in which the location was unknown. Victims Mr. Cartwright, Miss Carey, Mr. Lange, Mr. McMillan, Mr. Pe- ters, and Mr. Shook were wrapped with rolls of White Cloud and wheeled into the pep session in front of the en- tire student body. Holding Mr. Lange at gunpoint, the disguise S.L.A. presented him with a list of demands for the hos- tages' release. The demands consist- ed of: 1. ) An open lunch period for seniors only. 2. ) A “Senior Skip Week 3. ) The sophomore and junior classes forfeit their Best Hallway awards to the seniors. 4. ) All underclassmen refer to them- selves as scum. 5. ) The Class of 1987 be recognized as the coolest, baddest senior class in the history of Rogers High School. Despite the unfulfilled demands, the hostages were released and the pep session continued. The spirit of Rogers WAS dying. Hav- ing pep sessions, hall decorations, and cheer contests has caused an inclina- tion in school spirit and pride climbing to where Rogers will always stay- AT THE TOP! -Lori Grams — 18 — student life Jobs: A Time To Work For When It's Time To Play Some of us have it, some of us don't. All of us want a lot of it, but sometimes it seems so hard to get a hold of even a little bit of it. What is it? Money! Yes, that precious, crisp, green stuff that we can never get enough of can cause a person to go to desperate lengths just to have some ... even to the point where you go out and get that dreaded word---------a job. Sacrificing wild weekend festivities, precious hours of sleep, piles of home- work and sometimes even treasured beach time in the summer, many peo- ple earn extra moolah working after school or weekends. Having that extra cash comes in handy for saving col- lege money and for other necessities like clothes, tapes, movies, food, etc Although a lot of free time and rest are given up, there are some advan- tages to having a job. By working, you meet people that you don't go to school with and the extra money helps a lot, remarks Janet Bolinger, who works at K M Supermarket. John Dietz, an usher at the Cinema, finds his job to be entertaining. I get to see a lot of free movies and I enjoy looking like a nerd in my blue jacket and bow tie. Kim Jesch points out the good and bad sides of working at McDonald's. I hate wearing polyester, but I meet a lot of cute guys when I work the drive- thru. So even though working at good old McDonald's may not seem quite as glamorous as riding shotgun with Don Johnson on Miami Vice or as cool as singing lead with BonJovi, the job pays off when it's time to play. -Cathy Drzewiecki Having fun in McDonaldland.

However, to be an ex- pert on what's hot and what's not in eating etiquette, one must know what and where to eat, grub and or dine. For this-purpose, a little quiz has been made to see just how sharp you are when it comes to your knowledge of eating in Michigan City. 1. Friday night-you're bored. You go to McDonald's and sit down to chat. Super Cop comes and says, A. Hey, can I have some of those fries? B. Buy something or get out, bud! C. Can I borrow your Beastie Boys tape? 2. You finally asked out the most gorgeous girl in your class. To impress her, you take her out to wine and dine at: A. Nettie's Hot Dogs B. Hacienda C. Moose Lodge Friday Night Fish Fry 3. It's lunch time and your stomach is making sounds louder than Pee-Wee Herman's voice. You decide to: A. Chow on Ma's granola mix with neatly sliced carrot sticks for dessert. B. Hit the Canteen for a Coke and some Cool Ranch Doritos. C. Try the cafeteria's Mystery Burger with Mushroom Surprise. 4. It's Valentine's Day. You decide to send your sweetheart a box of: A. Gummy rats B. Fannie May bon-bons C. Instant AuGratin Potato Mix 5. It's Saturday night and you're scouting the whole town for Mr. Per- fect. You figure he's probably at the popular hang-out so you cruise on over to: A. McDonald's B. Lum's C. K-Mart Grill 6. Prom night is quickly approaching. Every fancy restaurant in town is al- ready booked so you opt for: A. A quiet, cozy corner at Burger King B. Trying to sneak in a reservation at The Spa C. Two medium pepperoni pizzas to go from Little Caeser's Just in case you've wondered, there really aren't any right or wrong an- swers. But compare your answers to those of your friends. Maybe you'll find out why you've been sitting all alone with the cops at Dunkin Donuts all these weekends. Who knows? It's all a matter of personal taste. -Cathy Drzewiecki- — 21 — working eating Rogers' Day Off In the immortal words of Ferris Bueller. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and take a look around, you might miss it. Most of us can undoubt- edly agree with this theory. So to give us an opportunity to enjoy life to the fullest, a special day was created for the frustrated high school student to have their day off ... Saturday! On this blessed day, teenagers were given an opportunity to sleep in, a sa- cred gift practiced by many after a wild Friday night. Some who are lucky (or unlucky) to be employed have to get up before noon so they can get to work on time. But for those who don't have to work, Saturday means fun.

Fashion conscious Jennie Savinski spends her day off shopping for some new Guess clothes at the Man. — 22 — student life perfect outfit for tonight's perfect date. Others scout the record stores for the latest dance hits or just cruise through to see who and what is hap- pening. As the day goes on, some people just kick back and relax at home sav- ing their energy for the night to come. This is when everyone hits the streets of Michigan City. Dates line up at the movie theatres or share a cozy dinner for two at places like Flacienda, Al- bano's, or for the big spenders-Burger King and or McDonalds. Others do the ultimate cruise of the town from McDonalds to the beach and so on and so forth. Basketball games can also be the highlight of the evening. Watching the Raiders womp on the opposing team is always a sure way to get people fired up and rowdy. Afterwards, fans do the cruise from McDonalds to the beach back to McDonalds and so on and so on. It's quite the popular thing to do on Saturday nights. The more adventure- some find some way to find a party or to start one, which is always a great way to enjoy Saturdays. The more money-conscious are still working at their place of employment or some relax and still make money by babysitting. Whatever way you spend your day off, one thing is for sure-thank God for Saturdays! Cath Drzewiecki Junior Staci Kniola sips some Coke as Christine Dickhans.

Patty Bechinski and Ann Rissman seem to be scoping out prospective dance partners as Susan Gonzalez enjoys the music. Last Friday was a tripp. The girl that I had major devotion for, dogged me and then called me out in front of all my boys. Needless to say, I was at a loss. Seeing I was pretty bummed, my bud Zack says, Hey dude! Check this out! There's a dance happenin' to- night and that Schaumann dude is DJ- ing some fierce tunes. Wanna scope it out? Realizing that I had nothing else to do but catch Pat and Vanna on the Wheel , grub on some Domino's or crash on the couch, I decided to cruise the dance. Filing into that happenin' Rogers cafeteria, Zack and me see like worn- bus people rockin' to some tunes like The Roof is on Fire and You Give Love a Bad Name . Not being the dancin' kinda guy, I chill against the Coke machine with the other dudes. Joe goes, S'up, Dude? I say, Hey, you know. Then like all of a sudden, Zack flies up and says, Yo, Bud! Why don't ya ask that babe from your Eng- lish class to dance? Don't ya know, she's been checking you out, bud! Mass confusion starts in now. Getting dogged once in a day is enough for me. Might as well give it a shot any- way. I cruise on over to this babe and say, Wanna dance? She gives me the nod and we head toward the floor as Tender Love starts to spin. Just as we get a place to dance, some dweeb flips on all the @l? %! lights and says that we best get on the phone to cop a ride home. I'm thinkin', Fine, dude! Like could it be possible that my day could be more bogus? But then Lisa, this girl, smiles and gives me the deal on some happenin' bash Saturday night and asks me if I wanna go. So now things are chillin' for the weekend and I'm still tripping out! Maybe I'll hit some of these dance deals more often. Dancing To The Music 7 J---n—H Last Friday was terrible. The girl that I liked dumped me and then insulted me in front of all my friends. Needless to say, I didn't know what to do. Noticing that I was upset, my best friend Zack says, Hey dude! Guess what! There's a dance going on tonight and Schau- mann is going to be the D.J. You wanna go? Realizing that I had nothing else to do but watch Pat Sajack and Vanna White on the Wheel of Fortune , eat some Domino's Pizza, or fall asleep, I decided to go to the dance. Walking into the cafeteria, Zack and I saw a whole bunch of people danc- ing to songs like The Roof is on Fire and You Give Love a Bad Name . Since I don't dance well, I stood by the Coke machine with some other guys. Joe goes, “What's up? I say, Noth- ing. Then, all of a sudden, Zack runs up and says, Hey man! Why don't you ask that good looking girl from your English class to dance? You know, she keeps looking at you! Now I'm really confused. Being dumped once in a day is bad enough. What if she turns me down too? Might as well give it a shot anyway. So I walk on over to this girl and ask, Would you like to dance? She says, Yes, and we walk out on the floor as Tender Love starts to play. Just as we find a spot to dance, someone turns on the lights to encourage peo- ple to call for their rides. I start to think, Fine dude! Could anything else go wrong today? But then Lisa, the girl I'm dancing with, smiles and tells about a party on Satur- day. So now things are on for the weekend with Lisa and I can't believe it! Maybe I'll go to some of those dances more often. 1 meant to do that!!! exclaims senior Dion Pahotski as he does his rendition of The Pee- Wee Herman — 25 George Washington Slept Here Does it matter to you who slept in your house 200 years ago?

Newton is very excited about restoring the new home, how- ever, his wife Annabelle feels different- ly- Throughout the course of the play, the Fullers spend the summer fixing up the house and entertaining a varied group of guests, including their pomp- ous Uncle Stanley and their mischie- vous nephew Raymond, who bring chaos and confusion to the Fuller home. However, more problems de- velop when they discover that their neighbor Mr. Prescott might own the deed to their land. The Fullers try to reason with Mr. Prescott, but in the end everyone gets what they deserve Director Gerry Peters and his cast worked hard for six weeks to put on an entertaining play. Even with all of the hard work we still found time to joke around and have a great time , ex- plained Cathy Drzewiecki, it was defi- nitely one of the highlights of my senior year.

Take these talented stu- dents. put them on stage, incorporate them into a show, and you have Bits-N- Pieces. Bits-N-Pieces is Rogers' annual talent show sponsored by the Honor Society. Anyone can be part of the show, and once again this year 28 stu- dents participated to create 13 acts. Senior Honor Society members Keith Heilman and Tina Wade were masters of ceremony. This year's show consist- ed of vocalists and dancers. Students performed solo and in groups. Senior Sophomore Kevin Beckner sings Glory of Love . Seniors Corey Hemingway. Chris McDonald, and sophomore Darcy Worlds rap to the beat Armor Chris Carter and senior Shawn Gaines perform their original rap Jack the House . 28 — Darrin Wyse and junior Harry Reid per- formed their rendition of Ready for the World's Love U Down.

Junior Sheila Rowland, seniors Tonya Washington and Nila Williams, and Sarita Payton danced to Janet Jackson's Control . Leslie White, senior, played the piano and sang Maybe I am Amazed . Sophomore Tracy Coleman and fresh- men Natasha Burks and Tina Phillips performed a dance routine. At the conclusion of the show, all the performers and some of the audience gathered on the stage to dance and congratulate each other. The students who performed at Bits-N-Pieces did a great job and made the evening very enjoyable.

City Nights will be a prom long- remembered by all who attended be- cause of the unique theme and the uniqueness of the decorations. The prom featured d cascade of white lights ond many silhouettes lining the walls. The decorations created the perfect atmosphere for dancing with that special someone. The band, City Hedt , played d wide vdriety of music that kept the couples dancing all evening. At the stroke of twelve, the glamour of the City Nights end- ed and it was off to The Circus. Upon entering “The Circus each girl received d balloon from a clown. Al- though there were no animals, the parents did a terrific job of creating the atmosphere of a real circus. Throughout the night the ringmas- ters served cotton candy and pop- corn to satisfy everyones sweettooth and to satisfy everyones urge to dance, Dan Schaumann played great music until the early hours of the morn- ing. At 3:00 the celebration ended and The Circus closed down, only to be reopened next year bearing a differ- ent theme but hopefully the same amount of celebrating. -Jennie Savinski Senior.

If YOU don't start, YOU don't have to stop. Ev- eryone hears it from TV to radio and now in the grade schools. Several students have given up time for school to talk to these younger students. These PUSH- ers, short for Prevention Using Student Help, ex- plained in detail the re- sults of substance abuse on topics such as tobacco, smoked or chewed, alcohol, mari- juana, and hard drugs. They told them exactly without beating around the bush what happens to the body when using drugs. Drugs are not a ne- cessity in life and ev- eryone must make his own decision about drugs. The point these PUSHers are trying to make as Bill Meer puts it, It is all right to be yourself and it is O.K. just to say NOI They want these students to believe in themselves while they're young. Although the kids in the audience know much about drug abuse, many ask questions bashfully, but then open by telling real-life experiences or stories they've heard about drugs. PUSHers believe it's easier to talk to the young because high school students have already developed their own attitudes to- ward drugs. They think they know all about drugs, but sometimes they don't realize the long term effects that such abuse produces. Students need to stop and think the next time they become drunk or high; is it all worth it in the long run? It's up to the individual, not friends. There are many kids, explains Anastasia Fergaras, who aren't sure what 'groups' they belong to, and doing drugs or drinking helps them to get accepted. Monica Taylor sums up drug abuse by saying, You must make up your own mind. You have to be strong in your deci- sion and never be afraid to 'say NO to drugs.' -Lori Grams Dr. Richard Hanks and Amigo, the official mascot of the A panel of PUSHers. Sam Hayes.

They are also held every four years falling on the summer before the Olympics begin. Getting involved at school. Amigo, the offi- cial mascot of the games, and Dr. Richard Hanks, the head of pro- motions for the games, visited Rogers to recruit volunteers with a pro- motional presentation.

To unite these competi- tive countries, the motto was written in four languages of the Western Hemisphere; Spanish, Portuguese, English, and French.

Mr. Alber organized the event and got 180 stu- dents and teachers to sign up to donate blood. Of these peo- ple, 144 people, or 70% showed up. Ten percent of these peo- ple were unable to donate due to colds or iron deficiencies. Al- though some were in- eligible, all donators were very excited and willing to give their share. As one student put it, “Why keep something you can do without, when it could be of great impor- tance to someone else. This was the second annual “Rogers Holiday Gift to the Communi- ty with the first being the successful can drive. The bloodmobile came all the way from Fort Wayne. Our custo- dians were here to help them unload. The 1:00 P.E. class helped the Red Cross tear down and load up.

Mr. Sadenwater is the head of the vocational de- partment at Rogers High School. He is in his eigh- teenth year of teaching. He has been at Rogers for fif- teen of the eighteen years. This year, the vocational department is going through a series of evalua- tions from the state depart- ment of education. Also, the department is in the process of revising its curriculum. This includes adding more high tech classes. Some departments have better enrollments than oth- ers. At this point, auto body, auto mechanics, and com- puter classes have the high- est enrollments. Blueprinting and graphic arts are the least popular. Mr. Saden- water stated, According to Indiana Labor Move- ment Magazine, computer programming is the field to get into. To be successful in vocational classes, students need a strong background in math and English. Why? Because the books they read are on the college lev- el. Sadenwater feels that un- skilled jobs aren't leaving the country, but they are changing. High school voca- tional classes provide preapprenticeships and give students the opportuni- ty to explore the trade in which they might be inter- ested. The advice he gives to all of the vocational students not going to college is good luck , meaning that they won't get too far with the training they get in high school. This will give them an excellent start, but there is much more information they will need to acquire beyond the high school level. -Rodney Beckner PONT Rim —bmi— vo me,HTML.

He has talked about retiring for the past couple of years, but this time he is following through He has no immediate plans after retirement, but says, “I know I won't be going to any retirement parties or things like that, and I'm not com- mitted to any projects. He ex- plained that he will just relax and enjoy himself In his thirty-six years, he has taught many classes including blueprint reading, manufacturing, mechanical drawing, power me- chanics. and woodshop He has also been teaching vocational auto trades for the past twenty years to high school students and to adults in night school. In addition to his teaching re- sponsibilities. Mr Kuszmaul has been instrumental in starting a competi- tive swimming program in Michigan City Along with this, he coached Elston swimming teams for ten years Mr Kuszmaul said he has enjoyed his career, and described what he thinks makes teaching worthwhile. He explained the biggest degree of success he has had as a teacher has been when a former student came to visit years later, showing him his wife and kids, he was stead- ily employed, doing well, and mak- ing a success out of his life Mr Ross Kuszmaul gives his students instructions on how to use a blow torch properly Mitch Hooten.

The class begins at 7:40 at Elston in the A. K. Smith Center. There are eight people in the class from Rogers, two from New Prairie and two from West- ville. The other three-hour class consists of all Elston stu- dents. The class leaves to go to their present house at 8:00. Mr. Jack Apple is in charge of the program, and sup- plies them with houses to re- model. Although the class has only worked on houses provided by Mr. Apple, they will remodel houses by re- quest. The money for the houses that the class remodels comes from state funds and the profits made off the oth- er houses. In the class each person works on basically whatever he likes to do, said voca- tional student Mike Cook. Between the twelve people in the class, each person Senior Chris Slueck and Westvike student John Stalbum shy away from the camera to cut a board for an interior wait. works on a specific job. For example; plumbing, electri- cal work, rough-framing and finish work. Some of the guys even do a little landscaping. Presently, the class is working on remodeling a house. They started around Christmas and are still work- ing hard. Probably the big- gest job the vocational building trades class has had, is the house that they built from scratch with the help of the Homebuilders As- sociation of LaPorte County. The house was a fund-raiser for the company and it turned ou to be a great ex- perience for the guys in the class. Not only does the voca- tional building trades class prepare the guys for ap- prenticeship, but it also helps them to fix things around their own houses. The vocational building trades class is definitely a worthwhile class and who knows, maybe thier next project will be the remodel- ing of Rogers! -Jennie Savinski While holding the ceiling, unior T.R.

Could this be the deep tropical Ama- zon Jungle? No, it's just an ordinary day in the Rogers High School Science Depart- ment. Students can clearly state that some of their most memorable days have been spent in the science department. According to George Hultgren, head of the department, It's been common knowledge over the years that we have one of the best science depart- ments around. Both stu- dents and teachers can take credit for this. Students have shown excellent ability in this field, and they have clearly shown us how. Over 150 high schools compete in the J.E.T.S. (Junior English Technology) test and Rog- ers has never placed lower than sixth in the standings. Rogers' students have also placed first in seven out of the eight years that they have competed in the Col- lege Bowl. Mr. Hultgren clearly shows how proud he is of the science depart- ment, the students deserve as much credit as the teachers. Rogers offers their stu- dents four areas in the sci- ence curriculum. They are: biology, chemistry, physics, and general science. Graduation requirements have recently changed for students. The class of 90 is now required to take two years of science instead of one, as required in the past. Students shouldn't complain though, because Rogers' science department is one of the best in its field. -Jason Dombkowski -Kathy Richter science A Little Bit Of Fun And A Lot Of Variety In ... • i iw t '.X.VOX, nglish Nouns?

All speech classes also had the chance to videotape their own commercials. Every student needs, though not all like to use, the English language.

The difference between U.S. History and the enriched class was more essay work and discussing things in great detail, says Mr. Len- ard. In addition to the new class, two new faces were added to the Social Studies Department. Mr. John Starks taught U.S. History and ge- ography, and Mr. Donald Yelton also taught geogra- phy.

Here at Rogers, there is a choice of four classes of typing that a stu- dent can take: personal typing, college typing. Typ- ing I, and Typing II. Personal and college typing are each one semester courses, while Typing I and Typing II are year long courses. There is also a variety of courses offered under the business curriculum. This year there was an addition of three new classes, all of which are taught by Mrs. Schlegelmilch. Office Proce- dures is a one semester course, which deals with the duties of an office such as typing typical business let- ters, filing, proper telephone usage, and getting along with co-workers. Office Ma- chines is a one semester course dealing with calcula- tors, reprographics, and data entry. Introduction to Word Processing is a one se- mester course, which deals with transcription, English skill builders, and word process- ing, using the Wordstar pro- gram. That's where the of- fice is, commented Mrs. Schlegelmilch, referring to the three categories in the Introduction to Word Pro- cessing class. Mr. Shook is the only new addition to the business de- partment faculty. He is teaching business program- ming, today's business, and money management.

Last year a new foreign language class was started at Rogers; Latin 2. Mr. Rem- mel explained, For students who don't want to speak a foreign language, Latin is a good class to take since it is a comprehensive class. “You still have to take two years of foreign language if you want to go to college, but now, if you are gifted, you can take a summer class between junior and senior high school which will be equivalent to the first year of a foreign language class in high school, stated Mr. Hakim. In theorem, this means if enough students want to. they can have a fifth year; this is only available in French and Spanish classes however. Most students agree that taking a foreign language means hard work, but Mrs. Bausback is trying to show her Spanish students that they can communicate with only a few words. She ad- ded, It isn't as hard as ev- eryone says.

Not just cooking and sew- ing goes on in these classes. Students learn to reinforce research skills and improve problem-solving skills.

Students become physically and mentally fit while helping healthy habits along in hys. ed. and health classes According to Mr. Noel Schlegelmilch. life is com- posed of physical, mental and social aspects. Both the physical education classes and the health and sub- stance abuse courses are built upon this principle. Obviously, the physical education classes place more emphasis on the phys- ical aspect. The mental as- pect comes when one says, A healthy body goes with a healthy mind. If you enjoy volleyball, football, field hockey, arch- ery, aerobic dancing or oth- er athletic activities, you will enjoy a course in phys. ed. The program is broken down into basic classes and an advanced physical educa- tion class. At this point, there is only one advanced class offered, but there are plans to expand to two classes in the future to meet the inter- est that has been generat- ed. Basic phys. ed. introduces students to the various sports and the general rules and principles of the games. In the advanced class, students learn the activities in depth. Such activities as golf and bowling require stu- dents to leave the actual school campus and partici- pate in the activities at the golf course or bowling alleys. The advanced stu- dents also learn self-de- fense, officiating and car- diopulmonary resuscitation. At the end of the year, many students describe phys. ed. as a physical edu- cation, but also as a phys- ical experience. Cardiopulmonary resusci- tation, the respiratory sys- tem, the Heimlich Maneuver, alcohol abuse and drug abuse are only a few of the many areas that are dis- cussed in the health and substance abuse course. The health department in- vites guests speakers to be involved in discussion of these topics. Teachers, den- tists, nurses and members of law enforcement depart- ments express their views on these topics. Special areas of concen- tration have dealt with mental health, depression and suicide. Many students complain about being required to take health and substance abuse, but actually, this class is one of the most practical courses offered. Knowledge about health and substance abuse is something people need to know about in their every- day lives. -Jeff Biggs -Rod Beckner P E teacher Miss Linda Meyer explains how to play badminton as her class watches.

Horticulture can be a worthwhile and in- teresting class if students want it to be. The students learn a trade while they help beautify the school grounds. The planters at the en- trance to the school, as well as the greenhouse area be- tween the academic and occupations buildings, are planted and cared for by the students in the horticul- ture classes. In the classes, students learned how to prune trees and shrubs and the general principles of gardening. They made pine cone wreaths, leaf and weed col- lections, and floral arrange- ments. Each student learned how to make fresh and silk corsages. They also made the homecoming bouquet for the homecom- ing queen, and bouton- nieres for the chaperones of the prom. At Christmas, everyone in the class received a free poinsettia. The Horticulture II class went on a field trip to Bernacchi's to observe their greenhouses and gardening techniques. Careers in the horticulture field are rapidly expanding because of the variety of careers that can be found in farming, landscaping, flower sales, and many other areas. As stated by horticul- ture student Sharon Barden, “You can actually learn something from this class that you can use in the fu- ture. — Laura Heyne — Brian Krueger academics Juniors Matt Kahn and Brian Smith finish up their pine cone wreaths, during horticultural class Ctvistiena RusseU makes a point while taking a test Teaching students the basics about keyboarding is necessary. yping for life! Practice makes perfect. Put that along with plenty of patience and concentra- tion and you have what it takes to succeed in typing class. Despite having to suf- fer the agony of broken fin- gernails and watery, ruby- red, streaked eyes, students discover that it pays off to learn how to type. For instance, instead of having to pay someone to type a term paper, a stu- dent cdn do it himself and save money. One semester and two semester typing courses are offered at Rog- ers. Students use very up-to- date IBM typewriters. Once a student has mas- tered his typing skills, he can continuously use this knowl- edge for other courses. He may take a computer course, business course, or even English or history courses that require typing skills. Office Procedures, a new class offered at Rogers, stresses the importance of getting along in the office, such as learning the tech- niques in preparing letters of application. Another class offered is Office Machines. In this class, the students work with calculators and computers. They also keep busy doing repographics, which involve stencils and dittos. The stu- dents seem to enjoy work- ing on computers the most. They take turns using six computers that use the Condor Data Basic Lan- guage. The Typing-Computer De- partment received six new calculators this year and two new memory typewrit- ers. A new teacher, Thomas Shook, joined the faculty and tedches both General Business and a new course for the department, Com- puter Concepts Business Programming. A goal of the teachers in the typing and computer classes is to have their students act business- like. As Mrs. Schlegelmilch explained, it is important be- cause, After all, many stu- dents will choose a career in the business field. -Laura Heyne Michele Powalski makes no mistokes while she watches the keyboard — 63 — typing Enthusiasm, initiative and dedication produce ... great paper isst.u .W The Catalyst, Rogers newspaper, had a great year in 1986. With the 22 en- thusiastic staffers, sponsor Fran Basquez and editor Kurt Dargis put out what they felt to be the best paper Rogers has ever seen. This year's staff was very young, talented and ener- getic. All participated and submitted thier ideas for the paper. One innovative idea this year was to do investi- gative reporting, otherwise known as working on loca- tion . The staffers, armed with notebooks and cameras, took a trip to the woods be- hind Mike lacovetti's house. In the woods there is a graveyard where the staff took hair-raising pictures and experienced spine-chill- ing events; all that were later seen and featured in the Halloween issue. Mrs. Basquez was so pleased with the results, so she planned another trip to Chi- cago for the December is- sue. The staff also attended a workshop on journalism at Notre Dame University. Mrs. Basquez felt that the work- shop gave the staff more writing tips. All in all, Mrs. Bas- quez had a very fun and prosperous year and is look- ing forward to working with her staff again during the 1987-88 school year. -Jennie Savinski Junior.

RATS (Rogers Aca- demic Team) finished the season evenly with four losses and four wins. In the individual tournament, Todd Jones, senior captain of the team, won first place all- around. Junior Pat Abram placed second. The JETS team placed seventh of 16 teams. Rogers placed second in biology, third in physics, and third in the graphics section. In the Duneland Confer- ence competition of the Hoosier Super Quiz Bowl, Rogers' teams placed fourth in fine arts and math, third in socidl studies and all- around, second in English, and first in science. At the regional level of the Hoosier Super Quiz Bowl, the science and all-around teams quali- fied for the state finals after taking first and third, respec- tive. Also in regional com- petition, the social studies teams place fourth, the fine arts team took third, and the English team placed second. The state competition of the Hoosier Super Bowl was extremely close with Rogers coming within one question from first place in science and lost in a tie breaker for first place in the all- around competition. Math team members Bill Sikorski and Pat Abram tied for first in the American High School Math Contest. Rahul Rao, Wilbert Hinton, and Janelle Switalski made up the third ptace team in the Indiana University Northwest Calculator Contest. Rogers was rated a first place school in Division B at the Chesterton Math Contest. The Algebra I team placed first. Mike Steele took fourth place individually in geome- try. Bill Sikorski, member of the comprehensive team placed 11th individually. At the St. Mary's College Con- test Debbie Cashbaugh re- ceived honorable mention in Algebra II.

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, has constructed a band to tour the country and play for high school students. They made their first performance of the year here at Rogers. The band plays Top 40 and jazz music. The band's main ob- jective is to promote the Air Force as a po- tential job profession after high school, but does it in an entertain- ing way. Mr. Saden- water explains, The kids really enjoy their show and at the same time learn things about the military that they didn't know. The Air Force has be- come more than just a military institution. It can teach and perfect life. Today's Air Force offers something for al- most everyone. -Jason Domb- kowski The Air Force Band's lead singer entertains with a song while members of the audience try to cover their embarrassment. While playing popular hits, the Air Force Band encourages students to Aim High. Speech Contest It seems as though teenagers' opinions are often cast aside when it comes to an important issue. Many teenagers do not clearly know the rights they may have. One person decided to voice her opinion about the type of treatment teenagers are receiving. Lisa Thorndyke gave a ■ 72 — academics speech on 18 year olds' right to vote. When asked why she decided to do this, she answered, I felt that 18 year old teenagers are not getting treat- ed fairly, and I wanted to let the public know how we felt about it. There were many students that entered the contest to express their opinions on the Lisa Thorndyke smUes as she subject. Lisa wound up winning the contest and a 100 dollar schol- arship as well as ad- vancing to the district contest where she placed second overall. Many teenagers are following the example of Lisa Thorndyke by letting others know what their opinions are and how they feel. -Dave Bechinski receives her speech contest award. Senioritis. Is it real or is it just a state of mind? By springtime it be- comes real enough for some people. Others claim they've had it since they were sopho- mores. Most teachers and parents say that it's all in our heads and we're making the whole thing up, but stu- dents do get anxious to get out of here. One of the reasons for senioritis is that sen- iors have already or- dered their caps and gowns and announce- ments. They start think- ing about the big day , and what they'll need. All this talk about graduation has made the seniors want to get out of here, even the people who don't have the faintest idea of what they'll do after high school. Another reason for the seniors' attack of senioritis is the pressure all around them to get their college applica- tions in. While enjoying the best year of their high school career, the seniors must decide the fate for the next four years. Seniors begin to fall into a deep sleep that does not permit them to do homework, to go to work, or to go to school. The symptoms are often clear. They don't feel like doing much except sleeping, eating, and PARTY- ING!! School becomes a drag and homework seems totally ridiculous. Something comes over them that makes them want OUTI This is the first phase of senioritis. Their brains start to shut down, teachers get tuned out, and books lay around the house completely ignored. They try to do their homework. They take their books home and even open them to the right pages. They start to study, but some- thing overtakes their minds and draws their attention away from school work. Then comes the sec- ond phase of senioritis. By now they're too far gone to return to nor- mal. Any thoughts of trying to keep going are swept away from their brains and teach- ers' voices aren't cut- ting through anymore. In the third and final stage, senioritis is then in full force. They blow off everything. The only things that matter are the weekends and vacations. At this point there is no turning back. This disease in- evitably hits every sen- ior that walks these halls. The only cure for such a horrible disease is GRADUATION, but if he enters college, the fever starts all over again. SENIORITIS — Isn't is wonderful? -Tina Hagenow -Lori Grams The class of '87 proves that they DO have the most school spirit.

O V a n 7 f 0 0 C a 0 A 0 ffo°0 0 Looking forward to next year Rogers varsity football team struggled through a tough season. The team lacked experience but was plentiful in desire. Through a new cooching staff, the team established d good reputation among the stu- dent body. The new staff brought different ideas for the defense and stressed discipline. The staff was also able to get to know each player as an individual. Al- though the team compiled only one win all season, ex- perience and sportsmanship were accomplished. With Valpo, Hobdrt, LaPorte and Merrillville all having excep- tionally good seasons, the light seemed dim for a Raid- er victory agoinst any of these teams. The team grew throughout the sea- son. This resulted in a 15-7 victory over South Bend Ri- ley in sectionals. The staff, players and students are all looking forward to next year's season with an exper- ienced team of juniors and seniors. The future looks promising for the football program here at Rogers. Team captains were Mike Walker, Matt Waszkowski and Bill Sikorski. Trophy win- ners were Walker, offensive lineman; Waszkowski, de- fensive lineman; Scott Davis, Raider Award; Wes Wilson, defensive back; and Fred Miller, offensive back.

Girls' vol- leyball makes it to semi- state! It's not really a surprise at all, considering the amount of talent and ex- perience coming back from the previous season. This year there were sev- en returning lettermen mak- ing up the strong team. Coach Dan Jensen said that this was his most enjoyable volleyball season ever. This statement carried a lot of weight, considering that he has been coaching volley- ball since 1975, as an assis- tant coach and as a head coach. This year's team captains were seniors, Carol Voss and Joy Linton. Nominated most valuable player was Carol Voss. The Raider award was handed to junior Beth Herod. Jensen explained that his goals for next year include teaching back row players to be hitters, getting the ball to the center, receiving the serve better, and getting players to be in their posi- tions whenever possible. As for semi-state, the girls played hard but were de- feated by Mishawaka. The team still ended with a spectacular record of 25-6, and were left with great plans of victory for the up- coming season. -Liz Hildreth Coach Dan Jensen. Bonnie Tanski. Jeanna Linton.

L ove ly season The boy's tennis team wrapped up their season with a team record, 3-7 and a Duneldnd Conference ranking of 5th . The team was fairly young with three freshmen. They were Matt Kujawa, Mark Zemrowski and Mark Wienke. Coach Jones was very pleased with the performances of those freshman and is looking for- ward to working with them again next year. Sophomore John Remmel was outstanding , accord- ing to Coach Jones. Rem- mel has improved a lot over the past two years. He has played number one singles both his freshman and his sophmore years. Coach Jones hopes he will work real hard during the off season to improve himself. “John has the potential of becom- ing a state champion, Coach Jones added. Another hope Coach Jones has is that his team can go over the .500 mark next year. “Down the road a few years our team will be excellent and a dominate force in the sectionals, he stated. Other varsity members who contributed to the sea- son were: Rick Hughes, Kevin Toole and Bob Morton. For most of the season this is how they played: 1 singles John Remmel, 2 singles Bob Morton, 3 singles Kevin Toole, t doubles Rick Hughes and Mark Zemrowski and 2 doubles Mark Wienke and Mdtt Kujawa.

Led by only two sen- iors, Jodi Fritz and Toni Bour, the team record was 7-5. It was an excellent year, said Coach Mel Kovenz. Four swimmers earned a chance to participate in the state meet. Junior Anne Latchford led the team of Robin Breitzka, Sue Wozniak and Renee Babcock in the 200-yard medley relay. The medley team placed a re- spectable twelfth at the state meet. Anne Latchford also swam in the 100-yard backstroke, placing sev- enth. Freshman standout, Renee Babcock, also swam in the 50 and 100-yard frees- tyle. The team placed twenty-ninth overall. One of the bright spots of the sea- son was beating Elston in a dual meet. It was the first time in six years that they have beaten the crosstown rival. It really felt good, said Kovenz. Another high- light was winning the Bridge- man Invitational. According to the coach, this was a real surprise. Taking the year's Most Valuable Player Award was junior Anne Latchford. The Raider Award went to junior Angie LaRocco. Overall, Ko- venz was satisfied with this year, but has already set big goals for the future. He is de- pending on Latchford, Bab- cock, Wozniak, Jacke Hiss, and Jenny and Jaime Petos- key to be strong swimmers next year. He also has hopes to place higher at state, have a better dual meet re- cord, and have a swimmer who will set a new school re- cord in the 200-yard medley relay. -Rick Hughes State qualifier, Anne Latchford shows us that she can swim something other than backstroke.

During an average day of practice, you might see the cross country team running in any number of places, for instance, in school, around the school, through town, or on the golf course. I like running on the beach the best, commented Mike Schroeder. Though the team wrapped up the season with a 6-9 record, on the whole, they showed much im- provement over the '85 season. Senior, Eric Schlegelmilch, was nominated as team captain. Freshman, Mike Sa- denwater, received the 'Running Raider' Award. Not only did the boys do well, but history was made as far as the girls' team was concerned. This was the first year ever for a girls' cross country team at Rogers. Fi- scher said, The girls really did well this year. Looking at the record of 0 wins and 8 losses, one might question Fischer's last comment. The team consisted of only sev- en girls, making it difficult to qualify at some meets. A few of the meets had to be forfeitted because we didn't have enough runners entered, he explained.

Mr George Hultgren didn't expect the girls to do as well as they did by the way they started off the season. What's the potential for next year's team? Mr. Hult- gren has a one word answer to that question, OUT- STANDING. His reason for that being the experience of the team this year and the addition of incoming freshmen. I feel any team is only as good as the parents of the players, remarked Mr. Hultgren. He added, The parents provoke love, interest, and support. Taking most valuable in Conference was Kathy Rich- ter. Other players taking All- Conference standing were Lisa Kniola and Jennie Sa- vinski. Kniola, the team cap- tain, was happy with her performance toward the end of the season. The highlight of my season was being able to win both sec- tionals and regionals, said Lisa. - Jodi Fritz Tiffany McCorkel casually awaits a safe shot to the green Jennie Savinski takes a practice swing before approaching her putt for par MVP Kathy Richter shows her winning form on driving the bal — 87 — girls golf Freshman Basketball Team MCR OPP M'ville Pierce 61 44 S.B.

This is the third time that Mr. Hood has had an undefeated season, and it is the second straight year that he has had an un- defeated team. Coach Hood likes to coach the freshmen team because he likes to produce the players. He likes to find the players with potential and watch them develop through their remaining high school years. A big highlight was the last game of the season. The game was a battle to the final seconds of the game. Two of our kids made one and one shots in the final ten seconds of the game. That was an exciting moment for the team. Coach Hood looks for three or four play- ers to soon see some of the varsity action. There was on who displayed leadership. Mr. Hood said that Matt Jones displayed leadership but being the quarterback for the varsity football team has alot to contribute to that factor. The outlook for next year's team looks good, said Coach Hood. How can Coach Hood know what next year's outlook is going to be? Well he has al- ready been out scouting the eighth graders.

Every season has it's high- lights and it's disappoint- ments. Two of the disap- pointments were the disci- plinary problems that sur- faced during the year and also losing the opening con- ference game to New Praire. Losing your opening game is always going to be a disappointment. Looking on the brighter side, there werre many highlights this year. This year we won the Holiday Tourney for the first time. The varsity basketball were also the conference, sectional, and regional champs. Those were the big thrills this year said Coach Earl Cunningham. Another thing that he is proud of is the fact that this is the fifth year of winning twenty straight games. Coach Cunningham feels that Kier Rogers has made the most progress during season. Kier made first team All Conference while team- mates Paul Drake and Mal- colm Reed made second team All Conference. Mr. Cunningham is looking for- ward to next yeor's crop of kids. Coach said, “ The kids coming next year are fun personalities. Senior Mal- colm Reeed's biggest disap- pointment during the sea- son was his shooting slump. Looking on the brighter side Malcolm is very proud that he was a member of the team that won the first Holi- day Tourney. -Jodi Fritz Senior Keith Gades saunters in for another one of his famous slam dunks.

Gonna dart downstairs and grub on some Ja- lapeno and Cheddar Ruffles, the typical student's (who raids the student store ev- ery passing period) thought right before lunch. Lean On Me, the music starts to jam. Man, my shoe's un- tied. No problem. I'll get it on the way down. While balanc- ing his books under his left elbow, he at- tempts to tie his shoe lifting his right knee nearly to his chin. So far so good. Now hopping on his left foot, ap- proaching the third step, someone (un- identified, of course) cuts him off. There goes everything: books, papers, pencils, people. He tumbles all the way down the stairs. Wearing a nice shade of red, he ties his shoe into a neat little bow and walks aways. Embarrassing mo- ments are not so un- usual at school, but when they occur in front of thousands of people, they tend to become a tragedy. For senior Malcolm Reed it happened at semi-state when he was a sophomore. He had scored two three- point plays in the first half,then another in the second. After making the basket, he saw someone out to the corner of his eye so he started running to- wards him raising his hands for high fives, thinking it was a team- mate. When he finally looked up, to his sur- prise, it was the refer- ee. Basketball can be a very embarrassing sport. explains senior Curtiss Stevens. Sometimes shooting an air ball or a brick shot is embarrassing. To Curtiss an air ball or brick shot was nothing compared to an inci- dent that happened during an eighth grade basketball game. He was running up the court and suddenly made a quick stop. The only thing that did not stop was his left foot. It ripped right through his shoe. He had to walk off the court with the shoe wrapped around his ankle. Diving off the board and landing on your back can also be somewhat embarrass- ing. Junior Angie LaR- occo explains that when she was learning the reverse dive, her coach had to put a lit- tle air pad in the back of her bathing suit. Standing on the edge of the board with her, he'd count to three and then pull her head back, pushing her into the water. Tripping, falling, and stumbling in front of other people is one of the most humiliating sit- uations that is feared by many, but it can be overcomed easily with a little laughter from the victim. -Lori Grams — 93 time out Junior.

Led by All Conference senior captains, Laurie Clark and Erika Brooks, the team rolled to a 7-9 record. The Lady Raiders defeat- ed the Merrillville Pirates for the Duneland Conferance title. Still on their high from the Merrillville win, the girls went into Sectionals with high hopes of beating Elston. Although ambitious, the girls came up short. “I expected to do better. said coach John Jones. Coach Jones explained that he was very pleased with the performance of Beth Herod as a full time starter after her struggles with illness and injuries as a sophomore. He also said that all three sophomores did exception- ally well and their improve- ment was definitely notice- able. All- Stater Erika Brooks was definitely the dominant player and received the M.V.P. award. The future of the Lady Raiders is looking great with all but two players returning. Letter winners expected to return are Beth Herod, Ann Rissman. Judy Zarazee, Patti Bechinski and Raider award recipient Michelle Stemmier. Although the girls had some disappointments, coach Jones is looking for- ward to next season.

We're both try- ing to influence the guys to swim on summer teams to keep swimming all year round, said Voss. Despite the fact of only having one swimmer who swam all year, the medley relay team of sophomore Bob Michael, juniors Scott Roberts and David Burke and senior anchorman Scott Babcock had a career best time of 1:52.9. Taking the most valuable player honor was senior captain Jeff Bell.The most improved swimmer was Roberts. Voss explained that this was Scott's third year swimming and that he showed a great deal of leadership. He is considered a probable candidate for captain next year.

We did well and were proud of our accomplishments this year. This year the team con- sisted of 12 members. Top scoring gymnasts included Angie LaRocco, Kim With- row, Lynn Meyer, Kristin Al- bertin, and Kelley Jarosak.

We cheered each other on and made each other feel better when we didn't do as well as expected.” The gymnastics team has definitly improved and is getting better all the time.

The team was lead by seniors Bill Sikorski, Matt Waszkowski, and junior Matt Troy. This year was the first year in Rogers history the team had a foreign ex- change student: Martin Glos from Germany.

They both won their first match, but were knocked out of competition in the second round. Coach Lynn Steinhiser is very optimistic for the com- ing season.

Despite the loss of five seniors from last year's state runner-up Cinderella team, the Raiders were ranked number eleven in the state on the preseason poll. As the season began, the team looked eager to de- fend their title. Yet, the girls suffered some painful losses early in the season, losing to LaSalle, Portage, and Valpo while having the lead with two out in the seventh in- nings of each of those games. These losses helped the team learn the hard way from their mistakes. As the regular season came to an end. the team was hit- ting better and making few- er errors. Then came what the team had been waiting for all season-the chance to re- peat last year's accomplish- ments. The Raiders recap- tured the sectional crown for the third consecutive year by beating New Prairie, 9-1, LaPorte, 16-1, and El- ston, 7-3. Next came re- gional and the number twelve Concord Minutewo- men. Rogers suffered a 1-0 heartbreaking loss. Concord eventually went on to win the regional and a berth in the state finals. Though the Raiders dream was swept away, the girls were still proud of their sectional vic- tory and all their efforts to- ward a successful season. At awards night, pitcher Laura Heyne received the MVP trophy and right fielder Desiree Sawicki received the Raider Award. Coach Rinker gave out two special awards.

One positive aspect of the season was the support that everybody had for each other; whether a win or loss, the team stuck to- gether.

It consisted of only 11 girls, making it hard to compete against other teams that usually dress a minimum of 35 girls. On larger teams the girls are able to specialize in a couple of events, whereas our girls have to compete in many areas. Another diffi- culty that the girls have had to deal with is that in the past five years they have had four different coaches. Hopefully, next year will be first time in five years to have the same coach two years in a row with Mr. Tom Shook planning on returning as coach. Coach Shook is looking forward to next year. He has already scouted the junior highs for talent. He is very enthusiastic and has made new rules for those joining the team next year. Mr. Shook is a new teacher at Rogers, but no stranger to coaching track. However, this is the first year that Mr. Shook has coached a girls' team.

Naturally, the help of the cheerleaders. Being a cheerleader takes alot of time and alot of work. The cheerleader must be strong both physically and mental- ly. The cheerleaders often practice 2-3 times a week, for hours at a time, to learn a new cheer that actually lasts only three seconds. This year the cheerleaders attended cheerleading camp for three days. The camp began at 6:00 am each morning and ended at 11:00 pm in the evening. The camp consisted of learning new cheers, learn- ing new dance steps, and naturally having a little fun. This year the JV squad won their division which helped boost their morale and con- fidence. Cheerleading consists of not only cheering but also a little gymnastics, a little dance and a little gossiping. The guidelines for making the squad consist of know- ing the school song, learning a cheer, following a dance routine, and being able to do various jumps. In addition to all this, the girls are re- quired to attend the cheer- leading camp. Mrs. Greco, the cheer- leading sponsor, admits that it has been difficult coming in as the new cheer- leading coach. She said it was a memorable exper- ience inheriting the new squad. -Jeff Biggs VARSITY - TOP ROW Debbie Hart. Gina Greco. Lori Grams. Lyn Perring. Jacke Hiss. Tracy Aiber.

Many people do not know what the clubs we have are. or worse, some do not know clubs EXIST! To combat this ever spreading prob- lem we, the conscientious and ever helpful yearbook staff, have tried to compile a listing of all the clubs and what they have done in the past year Clubs were designed to get your couch potato self out of the house and to get you to do something inter- esting - so don't just sit there - COME JOIN THE PARTY! Stage Crew And Drama Club Go ON WITH THE SHOW Everyone knows that act- ing in the play takes alot of hard work. For those of us who enjoy the theater, yet like to keep our talents un- dercover, stage crew is the place to be. Stage crew members must work hard to build sets, paint, and help keep the play running smoothly. Although the crew often sacrifices study time, sleep, and grades, ev- eryone has fun and enjoys the work he does. Stage crew members are reward- ed for their efforts by living it up at Godfather's and the cast parties. According to Jack Bo- linger, I think the actors are crazy for being on stage in front of all those people. That's why I like to stay be- hind the scenes and help out on stage crew.'' Mr. Troyer, who heads the crew's work, often pulls everything together when a catastrophe seems un- avoidable. The Rogers Drama Club is comprised of dedicated students who enjoy sharing their talents on stage in the fall musical and winter play. Drama club members work together to put on great shows like this year's musical Anything Goes and winter play George Washington Slept Here. The combina- tion of working together, talent, and dedicated Dra- ma Club members, along with the expertise of the stage crew, results in enjoy- able performances every time. -Melissa Candek Sophomore Kristen Albertin carefully prepares a small passenger for opening night of ’’Anything Goes”.

Rather than just going to French, German, Latin or Spanish class for 55 long minutes day after day, and draming of conjugated verbs, students can join a for- eign language club for a change of pace. Feasting on unsold doughnuts, cookies, and other tasty re- freshments, these bilin- gual club members get together and plan fun- filled field trips to many various places to learn more about the culture of the language they're studying-not to mention this enables them to scam a day out of school, too. But if this all sounds a little tame to you, then maybe you should check out what really goes on when these foreigners'' get to- gether. Instead of just being plain and ordi- nary, why not throw on a toga with some pals and grub on some piz- za with the new Latin club? Celebrating with pizza parties, is just one example of the fun Latin club members have had within a Ro- man-like atmosphere. However, if Latin isn't your lingo, then you might check out what's going on in French club. During the yuletide season Mrs. Calloway and the gang had a special Christmas party. These party-goers munched on all kinds of yummy French cuisine. Also joining in the Christmas festivities, Spanish club had their own kind of fiesta. After dining on home- made tacos, enchilla- das, nachos, and lot of Christmas cookies, the muchachos and mus- chachas went wild beating apart the poor pinata and scrambling for candy. German club went off on another fun-filled field trip to Chicago to see a special perfor- mance of The Nut- cracker” and to spend the day shopping around State Street and Marshall Field's Wienersnitzel dinners topped off the day be- fore making the long trip home. Many Ger- man club members also plan on being ex- change students dur- ing the summer of '87 in Germany. It doesn't matter what language you speak or study, there's always some way to find new friends and to get involved. That's another great reason to celebrate!

The club went out into the community to learn from various local businesses re- lated to the fashion world. Club members learned about fashion merchandis- ing and retail by participat- ing in an inventory check. Anneke Dekker-Olthop, designer for Anko Fashions, Inc., came to Rogers to speak to Fashion Club mem- bers and home economics students about her exper- iences in starting a business and gave students informa- tion about a career in de- sign. Members were later given a tour of the retail, business, and production sides of Anko. Nancy Erickson and Paul Lynch, local photographers, presented a program on make over photography. They showed pictures they had taken of Candy Nulf, showing what can be done to make portraits more pol- ished and what is needed in a photo to be used for mo- deling. Looking towards the fu- ture of Fashion Club, Mrs. Wallace said that she is try- ing to integrate the club into the classroom. She also wants to become affiliated with the Future Homemakers of America (FHA), a national promoter of home econom- ics. FHA would involve the club in regional, district, and national competitions. -Lori Scott Anneke Dekker-Olthof of Anko speaks to students about the fashion world. FASHION CLUB: (ROW l)Ms Alena Walace.

The spirit of the students at Rogers was looked upon critically early in the year, but due to the efforts of the Student Senate, the enthusiasm and spirit of Rogers students has been rejuvenated. Spirit weeks which were held prior to the basketball tourneys gave both students, as well as teachers, the opportunity to show their enthusiasm for our school. The Student Senate sponsored hall decorating contests and theme days for dressing to go along with the spirit weeks. Along with boosting the moral of the stu- dent body, the Stu- dent Senate gives stu- dents d chance to voice their opinions and have something done about them. It also gives the teachers and school administra- tors a chance to listen to what the students have to say. One of the most successful events this year was the canned food drive. A total of 2,400 cans were collected which exceeded the goal by 1000 cans. All of the teachers motivated their students to bring in cans, especially Mr. Gentile. Another big event sponsored by the Student Senate was the winter festival. The winter test includ- ed flag football, soft- ball, discpull, and volly- ball. Competition was between the three high schools, Rogers, El- ston and Marquette. At the opening of post- season basketball playoffs, the Student Senate organized three super spirit weeks and three exciting pep assemblies. After orga- nizing this great jump in spirit, the Student Sen- ate organized a suc- cessful clean-up cam- paign. All in all, the Stu- dent Senate officers considered this a great year and hopes that the Raider spirit contin- ues. -Tina Hagenow -Kathy Richter Row 1 Denilla West. Kathy Richter, Tia Pearson.

Well, for 76 students at Rog- ers High School that class is band. These students practice hard. It takes time to study and learn how to read music. It also takes a lot of talent. So why is this class so pop- ular? According to Tia Pearson, When we perform, it is an oppor- tunity to meet people from other areas ' Band directors, Mr. Tommy Hendricks and Mr. Mike Morse, hope the students relate to the music and accom- plish their goals. The students did this in many concerts and contests in which they performed. Band is a very special class. The people in it really love music and have dedi- cation. It takes a lot of time and extra effort, but to these dedi- cated 76 students, it is worth it.

These words may not mean much to some people but to the Chorus students at Rogers it's a different story. These students learn how to read mu- sic and hopefully learn to appreciate the hard work they put into their practicing. The students are of- fered five different classes at Rogers. The Singing Raiders is a class for just boys. Gold Chorus is a beginning class for students just starting. The Concert Choir is a select group of ninth and tenth graders. The ad- vanced Gold Chorus is a select group of tenth, eleventh, and twelfth graders. The fi- nal class. Minnesingers is a special class only offered to Juniors and Seniors. This group sings as well as dances when they perform. According to Gina Music, “I dont even consider this a class. I'm learning and enjoying everything. It's alot of fun. There were four con- certs given during the school year. The first during the beginning of December “Premiere XVI consisted of mostly Christmas mu- sic. In March “The Win- ter Concert per- formed classical music. “Pop Night performed in May consisted of all varieties of songs. These three concerts were performed by all the choruses and the band. On May first the Minnisingers performed Doug’s Diner. During this show they per- formed all their songs and during intermission served coffee and cake. For the chorus stu- dents at Rogers it was a full year. The prac- tices and hard work really paid off. Just think, maybe in five or ten years you may turn on the radio and hear a familiar voice. -Kathy Richter Mr. Date Trueax smiles as his Dollies surround him.

Art Club is made up of a group of people who enjoy being creative. Art Club worked on various projects such as creating a mural for a performing arts hall, making jewelry, learning about air-brush painting and making puppets which they used in performances for elementary school children. Club members also visited various galleries. In Art Club everyone is equal. Art Club sponsor Mrs. Ross explained. The kids in the club get to dictate what the program is going to be. That is probably why Art Club is such an enjoyable and rewarding club. Speaking of rewarding, isn't it great to get a flower from that special someone?

Cooperative Health Organization, is sponsored by Mrs. Mable Rhoades. It gives students an opportunity to get the feel of health related work by doing on-the-job training at local hospitals, doctors offices, and nursing homes.

Some students find more satisfaction in on-the-job training. If you are interested in going to school for a half a day and working the rest of the day, ICT or VIC A is for you. Mr. Richard Saden- water teaches ICT and explains that it stands for Industrial Cooperat- ive Training. ICT is a co- operative program in which students learn while they are working. This year, there were twenty-six students in- volved in the program, which is down from previous years, but Sa- denwater hopes to get more students in- volved next year. The students are working in twenty-four different places around town such as First Citizens Bank, Whirlpool, Pioneer Lum- ber, Eagles, The Wood- work Store. Sprague Devices, Sights and Sounds, Homestead Motors, and Hirsch Ford. Aside from being a class, the ICT program is also considered a club. There are two such class clubs; one at 8:30 and the other at 9:30. Each class hour elects officers. They have fund raisers, so- cial events, and they also have competitive activities with other schools. At the end of the year, the ICT stu- dents honor their em- ployers with a ban- quet. Even though the stu- dents go out and work, they are still earning credit and also being paid for their work. The students get paid mini- mum wage or more. After graduation, they either get a full time job, or go on to school. Unlike ICT, in which students leave the school for on-the-job training, VICA also gives hands on exper- ience, but within the school facility. If work- ing on car engines is your hobby, then Vo- cational Auto Trades is for you. Vocational Auto trades is a three hour class for working on cars. They do ever- ything from repairing to rebuilding worn down cars. However, don't get Vocational Auto Trades mixed up with Vocational Auto Body. Vocational Auto Trades deals with the mechanical parts of the car, like the engine parts, brakes, wiring, etc. Vocational Auto Body deals with the ex- terior parts of the car like sanding off rust and repainting. Both of the Voca- tional Auto classes work on either their cars, or teachers' cars, or other students' cars. So if you want your car to run well Vocational Auto Trades is for you! But if you want your car to look good, then Vocational Auto Body is the one for you. Don't worry about the students messing up your cars, because as Vocational Auto Trades teacher Mr. Dave Sobecki says, That's why I'm here. And with a little luck and a lot of elbow grease, you could turn out to be a successful auto mechanic. -Rodney Beckner -Rickey Hughes Senior Kris Wienke checks her order to make sure its correct before serving it to the customers. — 134 — organizations Senior Jodi Fritz stores at the double dipper her fellow classmate Pam Smith made her.

All of the exchange students were seniors with the exception of Susanne Gonzales, who was a freshman from Guate- mala. It is an enjoyable thing to have ex- change students, ex- plained biology teach- er Mr.Kent Lange, who has been involved in the program. He ad- ded, I have never had any problems with ex- change students and we always have a good time together. All of the exchange students interviewed agreed that it is easier to go to an American high school than it is to go to a school in many parts of the world. They also concluded that it is more fun to go to a high school in the United States since the students can choose their own classes. Ex- tracurricular activities are also available to students here, unlike in other countries. The majority of the ex- change students this year took advantage of extracurricular ac- tivities and got in- volved in organizations such as stage crew, science club and pep band. Since most of the exchange students will not get any credit for this year at their home schools, people might wonder why they do this. Well, stated Martin Glos from Germany, it is a chance to take care of myself. This experience will help me learn a sec- ond language which will help me in my fu- ture career. added Anders Peterson from Sweden. Aside from the ex- change students who spend a school year here, this year a group of Germans visited Rogers for three weeks.That was part of a program coordi- nated by German teacher Herr Ruth. Dur- ing three weeks in April the Germans followed the daily routine of their host Rogers stu- dent. Participating in classes as ordinary stu- dents, going to the beach and visiting Chi- cago were some of the highlights of their stay in America. In turn, the students who host- ed the Germans will spend three weeks in Germany during sum- mer vacation. As for me, this year has been a great year for me to rest, relax, and have some fun. -Jonas Winqvist - 138 — organization Swedish exchange student Jonas Winqvist and Twi a Rossmanith make plans for their romantic evening at the prom.

V. Club Learns Robotic TECHNOLOGY Looking for fun and ex- citement? Come on down to room 0107 and check out Vocational Computers, Electronics, and Robotics which is taught by Mr. Jerry Boehner. The students learn many different skills in the two groups, Voc.l and Voc. II. The highlight of the class is the two man operated ro- bots, HERO I and HERO II. They are capable of doing a lot of things. Students learn how to program the robots to say and do whatever they want them to do. But there is more than robots. The students learn how to use electronic equipment such as meters and scopes. They also repair broken te- levisons. There are about eight different computers. Each group has an opportu- nity to be able to program all eight. In Voc.l, students basically learn the laws, formulas, and labs on all the test equip- ment. In the Voc.II class, stu- dents put this information to use by fixing T.V.'s, radios, and other video equipment. There is a six week course on computers, and micro- processors. It isn't until the end of the school year when students actually get in- volved with robotics. On February 20-21 the class displayed what goes on in the classroom at the mall. It was a very successful show. The display included computers,robots,text- books,microprocessors, and movies about electronics. Voc. I's and Voc ll's are known all over Northern Indi- ana as the best high school electronic labs. So if you are interested in this field, take advantage of it and get in- volved in the vocational classes. -Rod Beckner Senior, BiH Sikorski uses Ns soldering iron to solder an antenna to a black and white T.

The Lucky Ones WORK HARD Who are the lucky” people we see every day wandering by our classrooms while we must sit diligently studying? And why do they always have that small wooden rectan- gular object in one hand and slips of paper in the other? What messages are on those slips of paper? Could they be secret mes- sages, written in code or important docu- ments that reveal the ins and outs of Rogers High School? Not exactly. The people in question are office assistants. They aren't wandering the halls delivering secret messages, but they are working. The small wooden rectangular object is a hall pass, and the slips of papers aren't secret mes- sages written in code. but are phone mes- sages, call-out slips and attendance re- ports. The counselors, prin- cipals, secretaries and librarians count on these assistants to help keep things running smoothly. Rich Jacobs, an attendance aid, explains, Being an at- tendance aid gives me responsibility because I have a certain job to do every day and I have to make sure it's done.” Office assistants also do a lot of paperwork, but it's a job they don't seem to mind. Next time you see an office assistant walk by your classroom, don't resent them because they aren't in class and you are, they just might have a call-out slip with your name on it. -Amy Russell PWNCPAi ADCS Row t Lon Hbner.

It Is important for Rogers' students to look their best at these games. However, there are some people who think that wearing a gar- bage bag, two differ- ent color socks, blue and yellow makeup, a bandana tied around their head and a nametag proclaiming who they are is also important. The reason these “trend setters do this is for initiation into the pep club at Rogers known as Esprit. “The Ideal Man was on the ladies of Esprit's minds, at least, on December 19. That was the day Sir Es- prit, who was voted on by the students, would be announced. It cost 10 cents a vote and the students could vote as many times as they liked. Esprit raised $350 which they gra- ciously gave to the Youth Service Bureau. Like Homecoming, the tension in the gymnasi- um mounted as the winners were an- nounced. Fourth-run- ner up was Leslie White, third-runner up was Rodney Spencer, second-runner up was Matt Waszkowski, first- runner up was Scott Duszynski, and last but not least, Cliff Nelson was pronounced Sir Es- prit of 1986. Detra Per- ry, president of Esprit, said besides raising money for the Youth Service Bureau they had the Sir Esprit con- test, to get school spirit going and to get people involved in what is going on. Esprit also held a for- mal dance for their members at the Ameri- can Legion. Esprit worked hard this year to get spirit moving at Rogers. Another group who works hard to get spirit moving at Rogers are the Raiderettes. These students put long hard hours Into their perfor- mances, but It's well worth It. According to Sonya Watkins, one of the captains along with Lisa Merriweather and Margo Morland, “We accomplished a lot, we don't want to take anything away from the cheerleaders, we just want to help school spirit as much as they do. Raiderettes is a lot of fun, we make up the routines togeth- er, learn them togeth- er, and work together no one gets left out. Thanks to Esprit and Raiderettes school spir- it is well on it's way. -Rory Drennan -Amy Russell ESPRU Row 1 Down Phelps. Moty Roper. Lelo Simmons (treasurer). Tina Wade (social charperson).

Take this simple quiz: 1. While driving you see a lost kitten in the mid- dle of the road. You would. A. Pull over and find it a home. B. Say, Poor thing! and drive by. C. Make sure you squashed him flat. 2. Your little brother is sick with the flu. You would: A. Stay with him and make him feel better. B. Be nice, but stay out of his room; you don't want to catch it. C. Tell him he has a rare disease and you must burn all of his stuffed ani- mals to get rid of the germs. 3. In the last seconds of the football game, your boyfriend fumbles the ball, losing the championship game. You would: A. Give him a hug and tell him you love him. B. Say, Well, mis- takes happen. C. Spit in his face and tell him you never want to see him again. If you answered A to most of these ques- tions, CTA, CIA, and Adopt-A-Grandparent clubs could be for you. These clubs are aimed at helping others. CIA. which stands for Christian Issues and An- swers, was created two years ago by Miss Benz and Mrs. Mershon. Miss Benz said they saw a need for kids to have input and feed- back on questions that weren't answered in school. The purpose of the group is to bring teenagers together to discuss topics such as relationships, responsi- bility and friendships. They had the biggest turnout when suicide was discussed. They also discuss how the Bi- ble relates to those areas. Tim Murphy, from Campus Life, is also a strong supporter of this group. Each meeting starts with a crowd breaker, then the members discuss a topic. Afterwards, they engage in a form of re- creation. Mrs. Mershon summed up the CIA by stating, Kids open up; it's amazing. If you were old and lonely, wouldn't you want a friend? sure you would and that is why the Adopt-a-Grand- parent club met every other week at Red Oaks Nursing Home. The members of this club talk and play board games with the residents at Red Oaks. David Niswonger said he joined because it sounded interesting and a new way to meet people. The residents at Red Oaks look forward to seeing these people who brighten their day. Imagine trying to communicate by using your hands. That is what the CTA does ev- ery Monday. The CTA learns sign language to communicate with the deaf. They visited the Indiana School for the Deaf in April, helped with the signing group Wildfire and had a Christmas party with the children of Bailey Elementary School in Chesterton. Russ Hapke sums up CTA as something off the wall that you think is totally bogus and not worth the effort. Yet, there's always times when you find there's a a good use to put this knowl- edge. CIA, Adopt-A- Grandparent and CIA have proven that the students at Rogers do care. -Amy Russell — 148 Members of the CIA decide what carol they will stng next at Red Oaks Nursing Home during a Christmas visit.

Trying to boost the declining morale and spirit of the student body, the Student Senate declared the weeks prior to the boys' basketball tournament as all Spirit Weeks , a time with no peace and all war. Swarms of students flooded the halls with costumes such as overalls and handkerchiefs, t-shirts and ties, and shorts and sunglasses. Some bummed on Sports Day , while others got all decked out on Dress Up Day . But the most peculiar day of all was Hex Day . Purple and gold was splattered all over the school as fans anxiously awaited the ultimate revenge of cutting the Marion Giants down to size. As the battle for best hall decorations progressed, the seniors organized a Beach Party in their hall to make plans of attack. Sailing right into Raider Candyland , the sweet smell of success arose between the juniors and sophomores as they tied for first place in the hall decorating competition. The seniors did not find this one bit funny. They planned for an immediate retaliation. The S.L.A., Senior Liberation Army, took over the school by taking hostages and controlling the pep session. They demanded complete superiority over all underclassmen. Thanks to the Student Senate, the war ended, but peace was out of the question. -Lori Grams This is the way I always dress for beach parties. explains senior Sherri Smith on clash day Checking The Guest a _D A 0 0 N ■ 152 people A Mrs Heeg tnf ms her excited class of Joey Brinkman, sophomore.

Most students are diagnosed by the following symptoms: 1 Lack of doing homework 2. Worrying about graduating from high school 3. Worrying about if they are going to attend college, and what college will accept them The greatest concern of seniors deals with what they are going to do after gradu- ation. Today, there are basi- cally four possibilities to choose from: 1. Continuing education at a college 2. Attending a technical school 3. Enlisting in the armed services 4. Starting a job Although it all seems like a big hassle and worry, my ad- vice to the freshmen, sopho- mores, and juniors, is to enjoy high school while you can. Don't be in such a hurry to become a senior and gra- duate. Your chance to make it in the real world will be coming soon enough. - 162 ----- -Dave Bechinski seniors SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS. Secretary.

You are now a pronounced “upper classman . You start to worry about your PSAT score being ranked last in the junior class, flunking your drivers' exam more than once, not being asked to the prom, or worse yet, being asked by definitely the wrong person! However, junior year is not all bad. There are lots of good points too, which you can't overlook. It's now your turn to yell “freshman at the person looking frantically for his room with two armloads of books. You can now drive to the games instead of having mom drop you off and dodging the car be- fore anyone sees that you didn't actu- ally drive yourself. You also realize that you have only one more year after this of getting up at 6:00 a.m. to curl your hair before school starts. This is the year when your dreams come alive to the nearing future. Your goals become more realistic and you become willing to work harder to achieve them. This is your junior year! -Elizabeth Hildreth — 182 — people Patrick Abram Timothy Adams Trocy Albor Klmboriy Aldridgo Tamalo Ard tor ah Ashcraft Kristy Ashmoro Doborah Atwood Dawn Balloy John Balloy Donnls Balog Losllo Bardusk Toffany Bamott Philip Barr David Baugh Thorosa Baugh David Bochin ski Bomodotto Bonson Jasclnth Bo tty Julio Blowott JonnHor BohUm MIc hoot BohHm Scott Boland John Boiingor Dor on Boot chock Mk hollo Brottzka Chartos Bronnan Torry Brttnoy William Brown Drogory Bryant Dobblo Burch Patricia Burkott Doborah Coddo Kovln Campboll Mollssa Condok Frodorkk Canon Christophor Cart or Torosa Cavlgglola Mk hollo Cormak Susan Chambors lynnotto CNIdross Thomas Chronlstor Anthony Clark Dor old Clark Thoodoro Clomons Both Clou so Ivy Collins Michooi Cook Daphno Coppogo Chod Como ft Kovln Couch Donald CoughHn JonnHor Cox Mark Craig Jason Crano Carrio Cummings Mlchaol Cushway Darrick Cztzok Stocy Dabbort By on Dargis John Davis Latoya Davis Cathy Doaton Bonoo Doko Chrtsttno Dk khans Oorald Dlrvgmon Laurio Dobklns Jason Dombkowskl Mkhool Dukos David Dusxynskl Junior Jeff Biggs learns the anatomy of the kangaroo.

You start it off right by getting up at 3:30 a.m. and you're ready by 4:00 a.m. Now you have only three and a half hours until school starts. They go fast. As your bus pulls up in front of the school, 100 questions race through your mind. You get off the bus and just go with the flow, since you have no idea where to go. You make it through the day, and figure it's not as bad as you thought. By the end of the first grading period you know your way around, and think you've got it all to- gether. Second semester rolls around and most of the teasing has stopped, and you can handle it. You don't have to carry your schedule with you anymore and you have the right pattern of kicks to open your locker. The end of the year finally comes around and you've made it. Now you're a sophomore and can tear apart the new catch of incoming freshmen. -Debbie Clouser 196 freshman Row 1. Stephanio Mtior. Jaime Petoskey. Angi Greco. Brenda McNafan.

My dad says I can't go to the beach 'til I mow the lawn. Excuses, excuses. Sometimes it seems like everyone is against inno- cent fun. Ho many times have you heard those lines? At least once a day, if not more often, right? Why is it like this? What's the deal? Why does it always have to be busi- ness before pleasure and not pleasure before business? Why can't I go out with my friends before going to work? Why can't I do homework after the fun stuff? Why doesn't Mom realize shop- ping for new clothes is much more im- portant than boring errands like wait- ing in the License Bureau just so she can get her driver's license renewed? Why is it that my dad believes the grass is going to grow so much while I'm at the beach that I absolutly, posi- tivly must mow it before I go? Huh? What did you say? My mom is yelling for me to get out of there and wash the car before she takes away the keys? Oh, God .. I'm going to go crazy!!! a AO Office: (219) 872 9446 • S.

Mr. Calvin Kitchell, Mrs. Joan Presser, and Mrs. Patricia Mershon are retiring at the end of the 1987 school year. Each of these faculty members has enhanced the education of countless students. Mr. Kit- chell, assistant principal, taught at Rogers from 1974- 75 and has been assistant principal since 1977. He is re- tiring to spend more time with his wife, travel, and get back into horse racing. Mrs. Presser, head guidance counselor, has been in edu- cation for 28 years. She has been head of the guidance department at Rogers since it opened 16 years ago. She will compete in May in the race walking division of the Senior Classics, which is an Olympics for athletes over 55. Mrs. Mershon is retiring a little early in her career be- cause she wants to devote more time to her outside in- terests. She has been teaching art at Rogers since it opened. Mrs. Mershon has been involved in many ac- tivities at Rogers such as Ski Club and CIA. She is also in- volved in the Community Center for the Arts. Mr. Kitchell pauses for a moment to collect his thoughts before returning to his work Mrs Presser takes time out from her busy schedule to pose for a picture. Mrs. Mershon prepares her lecture for the class. — 223 — retirees Well. 1987 brought not only a Sweet Sixteenth birthday to Rogers, but a whole lot more to celebrate. Okay, so revenge wasn't so sweet at Semi-State, but winning Sectionals and Regionals for the fourth year in a row certainly raised some spirits. The seniors made some rather memorable moves this year that were worthy of celebrating. Sparking a protest to have pep sessions and recredting the once dead spirit of S.L.A. (Senior Liberation Army) made school more enjoyable than having the average daily routine. The girls' swim team beat Elston for the first time in years, the lady golfers made yet another trip down to state with an undefeated season and even the freshmen gave us something to celebrate, believe it or not, going undefeated for the second consecutive year in boys' basketball. Freshmen can also celebrate the fact that their so-called Ninth Grade Nerd Crisis is over and they can continue life next year as normal high school students. Sophomores are chillin' now that they can finally drive—legally. Juniors can kick back and relax, looking forward to being big seniors. And last but not least, the Class of '87 busts out and graduates after twelve long years of teachers and homework, which is the biggest reason to celebrate! So even though your grades may not have reached great heights or you didn't get that special prom date, just put all of that aside. The hard work is over for another year. Pop a rockin' tape in the old jambox, invite some friends over and get ready to enjoy the Summer of '87. LET'S CELEBRATE!!! — 224 — ending A 0 0 a � °Am A A A
