Down the mall neon col- ors, the latest wave of fashion, grabbed at the senses. She tried on outfit after outfit under the hot lights of the dress- ing rooms. Tired and feeling a bit wrinkled, she headed in the di- rection of the car, ing for came. She finally lost enough weight to go shopping-shopping for size seven clothes. After the orthodon- tist's appointment she planned a trip to Oak Park Mall. The halls leading to the orthodon- tist's office always looked a little de- pressing. The thought of probing fingers and tightening wires just didn't excite her very much. She walked back to the small room and sat in the familiar old chair.

Suddenly in the mid- dle of the third outfit, that sparkle of enthusiasm was replaced by horror. Oh, Mom, look at my hair. It doesn't go with this stuff at all. She made the appointment and de- cided on a permed bob, one of the year's more popular styles. The new hairstyle required another shopping trip for hair ribbons. Monday morning, he promptly hit the snooze button. Fifteen minutes later he was in the shower. Drying his hair was frustrating as annoying natural curls began to flip out. He combed and brushed and dried until the hair settled back down. He went to his closet for something to wear.

To become a Thespian a student has to earn ten merit points by attending, working on, and acting in plays. Initi- ations were held three times a year after each play. The highpoint of the year was the Drama Banquet. Five anonymous adults came to all the plays, secretly judging the students' acting ability. Trophies were given in recognition of outstanding performances. There were many reasons for becom- ing a Thespian. Brenda Yungeberg, President of Thespians, summed up a few of the reasons. Although there was a lot of responsibility and a lot of work, there were so many rewards. There was honor and recognition, and a great feeling of success after a show. There were a lot of great people involved. fby Laura Davisi MANY PEOPLE WILL try out for a play, but only a handful can have lead parts.

TRAVELING REQUIRES a few necessities such as road maps or plane tickets. Iphoto by Mary Horvatini all its own. As Lau- rie Richardson said when describing her spring break, Our goal is Germany, but the flights are really full. We're go- ing to New York to try and get a flight to Germany and if we can't, then after a day in New York we'll fly home, pack for warm weather, try to get a flight to Morning brought a fresh outlook on the trip. Just a little rumpled, the whole family piled into the station wagon, ready to stare at the endless stretches of highway. I remember one time we went to San Francisco. It was like one of those memory lane trips for my dad. We drove three hours looking for this one restaurant he used to eat at. When we got there it was closed. Over all the trip was fun, though, said Katie Brent of her experience with a family trip. If family trips could provide a laugh a minute, so could taking a trip with a friend. Getting used to a whole new sys- tem of doing things could be trying at times. I remember going waterskiing on the Mississippi River near Illinois with a friend. When we got there, it was five miles through this swamp-like creek to where we went to ski. And the cabin was just a small one with the bathroom in the middle, so when you went to the bathroom everyone knew, said Julie Lander. While going by car provided more va- cation anecdotes, another popular way to travel was by plane. Flying cut travel time and made it possible for students to visit foreign countries. Flying took on a whole new meaning for TWA kids. TWA kids had a parent that worked for the airline. Until age 21, they could fly free when there was space on a flight. Planning a trip could be an adventure the Virgin Islands, and if not, then we'll pack for cold weather and go to San Francisco. No matter where the trip was or the means of travel, plans had to be made. Roadmaps had to be checked for the best route, a trip to the travel agent had to be made, and a check list of travel items had to be put together. Spring break was the big trip of the year for many students, especially sen- iors. Students headed often to the beaches of Florida or the warm climate of Texas. Skiing was another popular choice. Students scrimped and saved their money and spent hours with friends discussing the potentials a trip without Mom and Dad could have. A week before vacation, the count- down began. Half the fun of travel was the anticipation of departure for lands unknown. Finally it was time to leave. There was a nagging feeling of having forgotten something. It was passed off as excitement and forgotten about. Packing to come home triggered that same nagging feeling. The forgotten item, of course, was a spare suitcase for all those gaudy souvenirs. Vacations from Padre to skiing pro- vided that much needed break from the halls of Northwest. After a couple days recuperation from vacation, students were ready once again to face the day at school-until the next vacation rolled around. lby Mary I-Iorvatinl PACKING AND REPACKING can be the hardest part of travel.

Instead of going out for entertain- ment, we can just go to the home vid- eo place and rent whatever movies we want to see, and the recorder itself, for next to nothing, c o m m e n t e d time, and Cinemax, increased in circula- tion as students searched for outlets in entertainment. MTV, a music video channel let students catch up on the re- cent rock fads and news stories as well as view their favorite videos. Some students felt that MTV's sudden popularity was gradually declining. I think MTV has really been popular but now I think that it's just a fad that's fading fast, said Anneliese Simmons. Increased cable viewing brought about other changes. Satellite discs were modi- fied for home use. Receiving programs from foreign countries or various cable stations was becoming more common. VCR's had a definite impact on the leisure time of Northwest students. With video stores opening rapidly throughout Brendan Meyer. Although the new video advance- ments made going out less frequent, movie-going continued to be popular among the students. Movie theatres were still the first to receive the latest flicks and some students just couldn't wait for the cable-versions. A Friday night at the movies and out for a bite to eat afterwards was not an extinct practice among Northwest stu- dents. Staying home with the VCR couldn't replace the smell of buttered popcorn, sticky floors and hard to find seats. Age restrictions on movies with R ratings often added to the problem of going out to the movies. Students who . . . continued on page 32 MARQUEES BOAST more than the current movies.

Spirit Club was an organization which most students joined by paying a fee at enrollment. But they weren't tru- ly members until they sat hours in the freezing weather to cheer on the foot- ball team or lost their voices screaming for Northwest at a basketball game or spent hours decorating for a school party or maybe just bragged of North- west with pride. All this and more made up the spirit ,of Northwest High School. Spirit Club officers and representa- tives were responsible for the organiza- tion of the Homecoming and Queen of Courts ceremonies and for the spirit parade and spirit week. Planning the assemblies was also part of their job and they often had to think hard for ideas to get the students involved. Planning out the details took a lot of time and effort, remarked Kathy Brennan. The purpose of assemblies and special events was to foster student in- volvement and give students a sense of pride in their school. Cole felt that this group of students provided assemblies and promoted spirit which introduced all Northwest sports and developed a special interest in each. Our purpose was to get everyone to support all school sports and to give and promote a pride in our school, said Suzanne Peterson. Spirit week almost wasn't held in 1984 because it wasn't planned, but at the last minute everything came togeth- er, and the tradition of spreading spirit before the first football game through pep rallies and games continued. Spirit week began Monday with Re- minder Day but really began on Tuesday when students came dressed as punk rockers, with ponytails on top of their heads and chains around their necks. Wednesday was Sophomore Day which brought some even more outrageous costumes as all students joined in the fun of imitating their fa- vorite sophomore. On Thursday, stu- dents dressed as nerds, and Friday was the traditional Orange and Black Day. Classes ended early on Friday for a pep rally in the mall and on the front steps. Outside were barrels of ice cream and Coke for the students. The ice cream replaced the traditional bonfire which was cancelled because of the dry weather. Cole felt that the week was a successful way to begin the school year. In the years before there had always been a parade on Thursday before the first game.

Floats and decorated cars represented most of the school's organ- izations. The caravan went from Northwest to North District Stadium with students screaming and yelling all the way. The Spirit Club officers spent a lot of time getting that route approved because of the three different cities it went through. A fifty dollar prize for the best float was won by the Northwest Passage staff. Throughout the rest of the year, Spirit Club planned many assemblies to promote spirit. The Cougarlympics be- came the new theme for the assemblies. In the first assembly, Dr. Robert Clipner, an English teacher, ap- peared in shorts and a t-shirt and ran through the gym to put the torch in place and start the games, Students and teachers were called out of the stands to participate in Spirit Club's class contests. A Students at Northwest had a lot of spirit but it took some effort to get it organized this year, remarked Spirit Club President Darin Pritchett. fby Colleen Cooki .W .....,,,,'W'i -7 . . f 3 1.9 ,?f .

Physical and mental ability were required to successfully complete the rigorous trek. Commented Pomerantz, StuCo Presi- dent, l'm glad the retreat went so well.

The crowd hushed and readied themselves to watch another exciting performance by the Drill Team, the Flag Team, and the Marching Band. The Drill Team, the Flag Team, and the Marching Band all became one group during the football season. The three groups first started practicing to- gether on August 1 and continued on through the first of November. They practiced together three days a week for an hour after school. Besides the hour after school out on the field, each group practiced an hour within their group each day. Drill Team practiced first hour, Flag Team practiced seventh, and Marching Band practiced seventh hour. lt was a lot of hard work, and long hours of practice took a lot out of me, but when all eyes were focused on us during our performances, it made our tedious practices worth it, commented Lynda Adams. The Marching Band was lead by sen- ior Howard Hoeven and junior Andy Klein. They were the two student leaders that directed the band, kept spirits high, and put in extra hours to make the whole show run smoothly. The Marching Band sponsor, Mr. Lynn Harrington, planned the intricate formations and chose the music for the halftime shows. Mr. Harrington used a computer for the first time to figure the complex designs, some of the designs that the Marching Cougar Pride incorporated were a rose, a piano, and others. . . continued on page 43 N - f u. .. ri ..

Preparation began way in advance for the annual event, and the Student Council and Spirit Club each played an important role in the festivities. StuCo organized the election, as clubs and or- ganizations each nominated a candidate for the coveted crown. From there, seniors voted the choices down to eight girls: Heidi Biehl, Kathy Brennan, Ve- ronica Collin, Colleen Cook, Julie Ellis, Jill Pendergrass, Gretchen Schmidt, and Stephanie Thomas. To introduce the semi-finalists to the student body, the Spirit Club sponsored an assembly. Drill team performed a dance to Blue Monday, and formed a walkway for the candidates and their escorts to parade through. The rest of the day was filled with a tenseness, an anxiety to find out who would be crowned queen. Spirit Club began setting up at SM North District Stadium hours before the game, ar- ranging orange balloons and potted plants to fit an appropriate setting for her court. Soon, the candidates, along with their fathers, arrived in pink, purple, and blue chiffon gowns. Before the halftime announcement, the girls primped and readied themselves for what was to be an important part of their high school life.

Like the Homecoming court, the nine finalists were chosen by senior nomination. The nine finalists for Queen of Courts were: Kathy Brennan, Ronni Collin, Colleen Cook, Julie Ellis, Annette Maurer, Kim Meyer, Gretchen Schmidt, Katie Vinciguerra, and Sandy Willhaurer. The nine finalists for Big Man on Campus were: Colin Ashby, Mike Butaud, David Byrd, Ronnie Gra- ham, Jim Haller, Dave Johns, Sam Johnson, Frank Mann, and Paul Pomerantz. The final voting took place during a Spirit Club assembly, as the entire student body narrowed the nine finalists for Queen of Courts and BMOC down to the top three. StuCo's work on the after-game par- ty started with the decision of what kind of party to have-either a semi- formal dance or the traditional beach party. A survey was taken, and a ma- jority of the students favored a beach party. The theme for the beach party was Fantasy Island. StuCo suggested that students attend the party and make their wildest fantasies come true.

A throne was set up in a corner of the gym, as pink and white streamers decorated the area. Dressed in white tuxedos, Dennis Ashby and Jim Fabac anticipated the moment to crown the royalty. Finally, the long awaited game be- gan, as Northwest battled Shawnee Mission South. In the stands, students dressed in grass skirts, shorts, Hawai- ian shirts, sunglasses, and ieis cheered the Cougars on through a close game. By the end of the second quarter, however, South enjoyed a slight lead. Yet, the game was not the only thing on people's minds. Halftime was the moment when the new Queen and her court would be announced, and the gym filled with a quiet excitement.

The crowd hushed, as the 1985 Queen of Courts and her attendants were announced. Gretchen Schmidt was crowned the Queen's second atten- dant, as Ronni Collin served as the first attendant. Out of the seven girls remaining, students whispered guesses about who would be Queen. Finally, Kim Meyer was named as the Queen, as the crowd rose to their feet for a standing ovation. The game continued, yet South pulled away at the end with a 62-54 victory. However, the loss didn't seem to spoil the students' moods, as they rushed through the cafeteria doors to the party. Meanwhile, StuCo members passed out colorful leis. Queen of Courts celebrating began immediately after the game. Loud mu- sic vibrated against the walls of the cafeteria, as students danced in a fren- zied mob. Sixteen six-foot submarine sandwiches fed the hungry crowd, and decorations covered the cafeteria's windows and walls. At 10:30, however, the music stopped, and the crowd's attention was drawn to the BMOC throne. The nine finalists for Big Man on Campus were called up front, and the lights came up to reveal the candidates. Sam Johnson was announced as the second atten. dant for BMOC, as Paul Pomerantz was announced as the first attendant, Dave Johns was the 1985 Big Man on Campus, as Mindy Miller and Jill Pendergrass garnished each of the three with a grass skirt, a pineapple, a mug, and a ,small trophy. By 11:30, the evening came to an end. The four hundred plus students who attended slowly filtered into the parking lot, as Student Council re mained to clean up.

This caused many students to overlook many excellent seasons turned in by other sports. The gymnastics team barely lost the coveted state title, and the girls golf and tennis teams turned in two of the finest seasons in Northwest history. In 1984-85, Northwest sports picked up the pace. The gymnastics team, Northwest's bright spot, after winning most of their meets, lost by less than one point to Shawnee Mission West in the state meet. Soccer had a fairly successful season, al- though the team lost a controversial game in the state tournament. Volley- ball, having a better than average sea- son, lost a heartbreaker in sub-state. The highlight of cross-country was a homecoming game win. The girls tennis team ended with the best season in Northwest history. The girls golf season DURING AN EARLY SEASON PRACTICE. Cindy Bird practices her breaststroke tech- lliqlle. tphoto by Bretton Zingerl was highlighted by an excellent season and outstanding individual perfor- mances. Swimming ended with a respectable 11th place finish at state and had many notable individual performances. A sec- ond place sub-state finish brought a good ending to a below average boys' basket- ball season. The girls' basketball team also finished second in sub-state, an ex- cellent finish considering the team strug- gled through the season with a small number of players. A young wrestling team had many members receive recog- nition and two placed in the state com- petition. . The spring sports began with high hopes. The baseball team began on a good note with a high turnout number. Girls swimming and boys tennis returned with many excellent athletes. The track and boys golf teams began with high ex- pectations. All the Northwest teams began by picking up the pace and striving for achievement. lby Bretton Zingerl Sports 55 design by Bretton Zinger g mnasts exce Returning members ond tolenteci sophomore toke teom to stote Down to the wire. Many of the gymnastics meets were decided then. At regionals, Northwest prevailed, but at state the Cougars fell in the final seconds. Northwest went into the season with bright prospects and high hopes. Re- turning to the team were senior Karen Moore, a key member in the past two seasons, and junior Kitty Hourigan, who placed second all-around at the state meet last year. However, sopho- more Brenda Carpenter was destined to be the team's star, and a definite contender at state. The season could very easily be compared to the previous season.

In the team's first meet, the Cougars defeated Shawnee Mission East to start off their season of 53 wins and only 6 losses. The Cougars' first loss came at the Olathe South Invitational, where they lost to rival Shawnee Mission West. The low point of the team's season, which was the best in Northwest history, was the Lee's Summit Invitational. Northwest placed fourth at the mid-season meet. From there, the Cougars enjoyed their longest string of wins. Despite in- juries to Karen Moore and Kitty Hourigan, the team defeated West at a triangular, and suffered no losses up to post season competition. Right before post season, our team was doing really well. We were improv- ing and the team became a close knit body, commented Brenda Carpenter. Northwest had a solid reputation as the top team going into the league and regional meets. They had defeated ev- ery team they had met at least once, and with a full and healthy squad, were expected to do well. At league, the team dominated the events. The Cougars edged Shawnee Mission West to capture the League ti- tle by three tenths of a point. A new league record was set of 105.25 points. The Cougars were in the same form at regionals, too.

Tryouts were held in early August. Several factors were tested to decide which players would be selected. Skills, attitude, and willingness to work were the key factors in this selec- tion. After the teams had been picked, practice began in the form of two prac- tices a day. The team worked on their skills such as passing, dribbling, shoot- ing, and every other day during pre- season, they endured 12-minute runs. Stephanie Anderson and Lisa Nading were on the C-team. Although the varsity squad got off to a slow start at the North Tournament by losing three of four games, they finally put it all together and ended the season with a 10-9-1 record.

The team had a strong, positive at- titude. The season wasn't as strong and healthy as we would have liked, but everyone put out a good and en- joyable effort. We all worked hard ev- ery day and managed to improve throughout the year, said sophomore As long as we don't get discour- aged the first half of the season, I think that we can be respectable when the big meets roll around. -Coach Rose runner Cherry Hodges. lt was this posi- tive attitude that helped to lead the girls' cross country team to their seventh consecutive state meet appear- ance. The girls made a strong showing at state, finishing eighth. The Northwest boys' cross country team had won four Sunflower League 66 Sophomores aid team titles in a row, but with a slow start in the season, a fifth consecutive title was not to be. I was injured in practice as a few others were. Of course, they affected the team, but I don't think they hurt us. We had some key injuries though. Travis Butler was injured, and he was the only runner with varsity experience, said senior George Tseng. Girls' captain Kathy Oleson was the lone returning letter winner. The boys had no lettermen from the previous year. We didn't have a wealth of experience. A lot depended on our sophomores and whether or not they could adapt to running cross country when they were previously successful as track athletes. Coach Van Rose said, A lot of teams will be in the same position. The rookies seem to have more effect on your success than your veterans. lby Darren Dupriestl 'QW W W. ,. , ff , ,f .ff ' ertir g .

In his second year as head coach at Northwest football, Bill Leonard had a long road ahead of him. I like being the underdog, he stated. It gives a team something to shoot for. We'll be tough in the league. If we hang in ear- ly, Northwest will be there. These preseason statements changed to the nightmare is over. We finished 1-8, but at least it's over, nine games later. I hate to lose, but when you are beaten by a good and respect- able team, that's fine. But when you lose games you should have won, that's a real problem. -Coach Leonard The season made it difficult to deter- mine what the team's problems were. We had a lot of talent. Our talent really didn't show but it was there, said Mike Ervin. Our talent this year was really good, said Sean Cherico. We just couldn't get it all together. A major factor was experience. Northwest did not have the exper- ienced players it needed to be competi- tive in the very tough Sunflower League. The Cougars opened the season with a disappointing loss to Lee's Summit, 7-6. The Cougars then faced their old rival, Rockhurst. One of Northwest's smallest teams in years was put up against much larger Rockhurst. Northwest played well but was contained the entire game by a large Hawklet defensive line. In the end, the Cougars were shut out 23-O. We lost to Rockhurst very handily. This loss and the one against Lee's Summit don't bother me. I hate to lose, but when you are beaten by a good and respectable team, that's fine. But when you lose games you should have won, that's a real problemf' said Leonard.

Junior tailback Curt Mason scored three touchdowns, twice as many points as the whole offense had scored the first three games. The Cougars held on to defeat the Shawnee Mission East Lancers 21-0. With their first win under their belt the Cougars faced the Lawrence Lions. In a statistically close game, the Cougars were hurt by punt returns, two of which were returned for touchdowns. Northwest lost the intense- ly fought game 21-0. With four games remaining the Cougars had a chance to end the year with a winning season. Those thoughts, however, were shattered in a 10-O loss to Leavenworth. Northwest then faced the Shawnee Mission West Vikings. The Vikings, who had a very strong for revenge of the West the previous strongly wanted to team, were hungry Northwest upset of year. The Cougars repeat the feat but were shut down by a strong Viking defense 28-3. The Cougars, who wouldn't give up, now had a chance to play giant kill- er as they faced Shawnee Mission North. I don't think they gave up. I think they worked with what they had. I don't think a Cougar gives up. They worked hard everyday and I know they didn't give up,'I said Leonard. The Cougars weren't able to knock off North. They lost 28-O, suffering their fourth shutout of the season. The Cougars had one more chance to come out on top but failed, losing to Schlagle 21-3. Coach Leonard's second year at Northwest proved not to be very profitable for him. I think some of the kids developed well, said Leonard, 'I think Sean Goodale, receiver, did an excellent job as a junior and of course, Curt Mason ran well. Young men like J.R. Dover, who played several posi- tions for us will really help out next year. The junior varsity team finished the season with a 1-5 record.

For the first time the girls' golf team competed as a whole in state placing tenth. Coach Southerland had high expectations before the sea- son because of good sophomores and four returning letterman. The team practiced almost everyday after school, weather permitting. This season was the highlight of my career. -Coach Southerland Usually, they practiced at Tomahawk Hills Golf course. Coach Southerland offered one-on-one assistance to each of the golfers in order to improve their skills for upcoming tournaments. Top player Kristi Agnitsch remarked, It was the best season we've had. The team went through the season placing in the top half at almost every tournament, and third in league and regionals. lt was the best season we've had. -Kristi Agnitsch The girls' Tennis team also began with an exceptional 5-1 record and placed second in the district. The tennis team also performed ex- cellently in the state competition. Jill Jackard, Amy Bundy, and Susan Pollard breezed through their first matches, but lost in the quarterfinals. Coach Bill Langner had high expec- tations of the team, and they were the best Northwest had had, finishing the season with a 9-2 record.

Cougars found themselves at a disap- pointing 2-6 knowing that they would go against some of the toughest teams in the city.

James commented, It took a lot of tension off the team since the people who weren't happy were We made some giant strides even though we had a limited number of athletes -Coach 0'Neal gone. By far the one thing that was most remembered about the tournament was the winning streak that followed it. After the tournament win over Schlagle, the Cougars went 4-4 with 82 Turnout hurts team photos by Darin Pritchett three consecutive wins over Schlagle, East, and West. ' The season ended with a disappoint- ing loss to Olathe North in the sub-state tournament, thus ending their bid for a spot in the state tournament. In this gloomy 8-13 season, there were events that stuck out in the minds of players. Defeating East twice had to be the biggest. ln years past, East had almost humiliated the Cougars, but this season was different. The junior Varsity team, under the leadership of Coach Higgins, ended their season with a record of 5-11. The J.V. team always seemed to win when the varsity team lost. The lack of players and the pressure put on the girls' basketball program made one season split into two distinct seasons-the first half with its constant struggling, and the second half with its unity. fby Melanie O'Neall F 1 W f WWI?

Unlike other sports, wrestling didn't suffer much from injuries. Coach Urczyk said that there were basically nagging in- juries, but the wrestlers still competed even though they were sore. The season started with Northwest placing sixth in the Olathe Tournament. The wrestlers continued on a mediocre pace by winning only five of all their dual meets. I didn't expect too much of the young wrestlers, but they hung in there, said Coach Urczyk.

Many students who had participated in earlier sports wanted to play on school teams in the Spring, but now had to face the possibility of not making the team. The two major sports that cut players were baseball and softball. Sophomores worried because of the number of re- turning baseball players. Some went through a week of practice just to find out that they did not have to wonder any longer. They had been cut from the team. Despite the possible disappointment of not making the team, a near record number of students showed up for the tryouts and had to face the spring weather. For the girls on the swimming and div- 86 Practice begins ing team, the weather in the pool was, always good. The remaining sports, however, had to compete with the unpredictable spring weather. Rain and cold forced most practices inside. Softball was in the weights or wrestling room, boys' tennis in the gym, track throughout the halls, and baseball in the gym or weights room. The rain sometimes kept the baseball and softball teams inside for several days because the fields were too wet. The boys' golf team was also much af- fected by the rain, which kept them off the greens for days at a time. . . . continued on page 88 ANXIOUSLY AWAITING the line-up, players gather around Coach Kuzydym. iphoto by Bretton Zingerl X . as Q , X ikx QQ.

The Intramural League again gave stu- dents, who did not make the interscho- lastic team or who just wanted to par- ticipate, a chance to play a sport they enjoyed. Coach Leonard, the sponsor of the intramural program, was in charge of finding student leaders and referees. The two student leaders, Dave Johns and Mike Ervin, held many responsibilities. They were in charge of organizing basketball teams, making the schedules, contacting players, and keeping team and individual statistics. This was the first year individual statistics were kept. lt turned out great. lt was just a little added compe- tition, said Mike Ervin. Throughout the season there were students busy ten games scheduled, but the snow and ice did not make completing the sched- ule easy. We had a pretty rough time with the weather, said Ervin. For a basketball game to be played there had to be officiating. Volunteer refer- ees were hired by Coach Leonard for one dollar a game or five dollars for three. Apart from school sponsored basket- ball, there was the Great American Basketball League which many North- west students participated in. Teams were organized by students and were entered in the league with the payment of a small entry fee. This was another way for students to be involved in bas- ketball either highly competitively or just for fun.

Indoor soccer was yet another sport enjoyed by Northwest students outside of school. The Johnson County Indoor Soccer Club played host to several girl's teams, a few of which were made up mainly of Northwest girls. It's a lot of fun. We always win, so l have a good time, said Kelly Kreutzer. Hav- ing games once a week, generally on Monday nights, did not completely dominate the hectic schedules of these girls, but it did have its advantages. We had games only once a week and we never got to practice, so we didn't stay in shape as well, Lisa Nading said. lby Darren Dupriestj 96 Incentive to excel Incentive to exce Despite eligibility and injuries NW students enjoy sports Eligibility, For most athletes the word wasn't a real big concern, but to participate in athletics either for a short time or an extended period, the athlete had to stay eligible. Of course, the most important eligi- bility rule was that concerning grades. In 1985, the requirement for the num- tber of passed classes was raised from four to five. Many Northwest students who were involved in athletics had to add to their schedules in order to play. The Shawnee Mission School District also required a weekly check on eligi- bility. Lists were made at the beginning of every sports season of every student participating. These lists were distribut- ed to teachers who in turn, had to turn in eligibility cards on any student who did not have a passing grade. Cards turned in at the end of a week made a student ineligible for participation for the entire following week. One of the major questions on eligi- bility caused some controversy especial- ly in the past few years. Many cases of students who had transferred from a different school created problems. Dr. Yoessel said, We do not try to eliminate students. The eligibility rules are there as an incentive to excel aca- demicallyf' Another problem which caused ath- letes to sit out during games and prac- tices was injuries. The majority of in- juries suffered were only minor and required only a short period of nonactivity. Other injuries became serious and ended a season for ath- letes. At Northwest, two examples of such injuries occurred in the fall. Dave Johns suffered a dislocated hip playing football and Steve McRoberts broke his leg in a soccer game. For the most part, students enjoyed sports full-time, but for some, eligibility and injuries held them back, tby Melanie O'Nealj -. ..-, ....-.s-,.,,..,.,,,,W...J,L..-..r..-...c4:,,,,,,,,AalnL-ml' -1. , , j i i . .4-...un-.,.--ssl.-. ...,.--,,, Y YV , V77 Y , . -Y ---- .

I Cheerleading has been an experience. There were good times and there were bad. I learned how to deal with totally different personalities in all kinds of moods.

Drill team treasurer Hamm ex- plained the importance of sponsors, In order to have an exceptional performing group, it takes the talent as well as dedication of sponsors. l feel that Ms. Gard, Ms. Coughenour, and Mr. Harrington have more than just fulfilled these qualifications. Without them our group would be nothing. Summer practices as one unit began in earnest two weeks before the start of scnool. The Marching Cougar Pride worked on the pregame show and the formations for the first football show. When school started, the individual groups practiced separately in class periods and as a whole after school Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday until 4:00 to perfect marching. All the preparation that went into every half-time performance really showed when they got out there to perform. The drill team sponsor Ms. Jane Gard believed that They go out there to do their best, not only for themselves, but for their school. 104 Action Just like sisters, the squad still had a few squabbles, but a mutual respect also developed, and that was what made it a memorable experience. We respected each oth- er and worked well together. Every- one felt free to say what she felt. We became friends. . .some closer than others, but still friends. I wouldn't have missed it for any- thing. -Stephanie Thomas As the kick-off drew nearer and nearer, the stands of the North District Stadium became a patchwork of color. The spectators were of all age groups, but the majority were Northwest stu- dents. During the fall, Friday night and football games were synonymous for the majority of Northwest students. They supported their Cougars even though the team did not have an impressive record. At several games the Booster Club passed out helium filled balloons to those in the stands.

Continued from page 107. . . by the Northwest Cougar Marching Pride was the culmination of hours of hard work. After the announcer introduced the marching unit, the drum majors, Howard Hoeven and Andy Klein, gave the command to start the show. For the next ten minutes the on- lookers watched the band do intricate formations on the field. The flag team did a special flag feature, and the drill team danced. The music of the band accompanied all the activity on the field. Some of the best musicians were featured when they played solos during the perfor- mance. In the stands one man watched with great interest. For him each show meant a great deal of hard work, but he never stepped onto the field. That man, Mr. Lynn Harrington, designed the marching shows. The drill team sponsor, Jane Gard, and the flag team sponsor, Susan Coughenour, watched their groups perform. When asked her feelings about the drill team's work Marching band is a lot of fun and very exciting. The bus rides to and from football games give me a time to goof off with my friends. Cheer- y ing for a losing football team is fun. It's good to be in the band at the games. You can be rowdy and act wild and crazy and nobody cares. They expect you to be that way be- cause you're in the band. What I like best, though, about marching band is performing. After spending many long hours of hard work and anticipation, the big moment finally arrives. There ANOTHER VITAL PART of the halftime entertainment at football games is the flag team. Jody Singer and Ann Sperry march onto the field. Gard said, This is probably one of the most cooperative dedicated, and hardworking group of girls l've had in eleven years. The officers I have this year have the total respect of the group and set an exemplary example for each team member. As the band left the field, they were greeted with a warm round of ap- plause. They could sense the crowd's enthusiasm as they marched down the track and out of the stadium. As soon as the band was done, the fans headed to the concessions area where they could buy candy bars, Coke, or hot chocolate. This gave them another opportunity to talk with their friends. A large number of Northwest students could be found on the oppos- ing side during half-time. They visited with their friends who attended other schools. There was usually the friendly arguments about who would win, but with the exception of a sarcastic re- mark the conversation did not become vicious. . .continued on page 110 you are standing at attention as the 1 announcements are made over the intercom .Cougars, you may take the fieid!

They headed to pizza places or nicer restaurants. They still had enough time to catch a late movie. Many students flocked to parties that started after the game ended. Some of these were small gatherings for the host's close friends. Over a hundred people attended some parties. Once someone announced that he would have a party, the news spread fast. It became impossible to limit the number of people allowed into the house. Peo- ple flooded the host's house. Even with a full house the party goers enjoyed themselves. Students filled their Friday nights with football games, friends, and fun. They did not bother to slow down after a busy week. After school on Friday many went home only to return an hour or two later to get ready for the game. The fast paced life did not phase them.

Mr. Jim Gum, a new chemistry teacher at Northwest, never planned to be a teacher, yet, I always respect' ed good teachers, so I became a teach- er because I thought I could do well in that one needs a lot of varied talents. I love teaching at Northwest. I enjoy the student interaction, said Gum. Pam Forest, an English teacher, said, I feel working with young people keeps you feeling young. I also enjoy helping them cope with their failures and seeing their successes. It is hard to find a happy medium between being strict and being easy. It is hard to please everyone. We all agree it it could be done, life would be much easier. Today it is hard because of all the many changes and pressures outside of school. You don't want to mislead them about the things ahead of them in life, yet you try your hardest to help them. lby Kelly Turner! ' LECTURING IS A major part of teaching, especially in a history class.

The co-ed sophomore gym encompassed a wide variety of activit- ies including basketball, volleyball, swimming, and a unit on CPR.

Commented Sawyer, I think sopho- more gym gives you a wide selection of what Northwest has to offer. lt was a lot different from ninth grade because it had more to offer. Many sophomores, however, felt that because of their junior high gym class- es, they should be allowed to choose the .gym class which they wanted, as in years past. Said Mike Stittsworth, Sophomore P.E. is okay, although I feel that it shou1dn't be a required class. I think that you should be able to go directly into classes which involve activities which one desires such as track, football, etc. I think that we got enough experience with various sports throughout junior high. Ms. Jane Gard explained, The reason they have sophomore gym is to have a well-rounded program before entering an elective gym class to give them an overview of individual and team sports. Once the sophomores had endured sophomore gym, they could look forward to choosing a gym class suit' able to them. Many sophomores could take an elective gym class the second semester.

The major activities sponsored by CUBS included quarterly get-togethers for students who had transferred to Northwest. 1 . New students were invited to attend the parties during second hour. These social gatherings proved to be ideal opportunities for new students to meet others who were in the same situation and make friends with CUBS members.

However, his daddy wasn't there. His mother told him, Daddy's left and he's never coming back. Mommy and Daddy are getting an divorce. Over a bowl ot cereal the lit- tle boy's world fell apart. ln the United States, it was as widespread as an epidemic. The num- ber of broken homes increased with ev- ery passing year. Divorce led to many changes in the lile ol the child. Besides the emotional adjustment, the child often assumed SINCE THEY LIVE in the same city, Brett linger is able to see his father frequently. lvlwiv by Derek linger! added responsibilities. In most cases, the single parent worked full-time in order to provide for the children., This led to added house- hold duties for the students such as cooking dinner, washing clothes, or cleaning house. Those duties cut into the time that could be spent doing homework or being with friends. For many, communicating with the absent parent became difficult or even regulated. After divorces, students of- ten had only a limited amount of time to spend with their parent. Usually these visits fell on weekends and holi- days. Adjusting to step-parents posed Being a sophomore means trying a lit- tle harder than anyone else, Trying harder to fit in, to be accepted by your peers, and to understand who you are, I don 't understand why it should feel any different being a sophomore than being a junior or senior.

The International Club also gave its members a chance to learn more about the cultures of other countries. Darren Dupriest commented, I joined International Club to get involved and to meet people from other countries. lt's really fun learning about their ways of life in comparison to mine. The students felt that the International Club made them feel welcome and helped them adjust to Northwest's routine. Said Monica CIOSS ... Santoyo, International Club president, The purpose of the club is to get the foreign exchange students acquainted with other students at Northwest and to make them feel more at home. Another group of students exper- ienced liie in another country as they spent time living abroad. Monica Santoyo spent a month in Spain during the summer. Not only did she improve her language skills in the study abroad program, but she also gained insight into the Spanish culture. Two students chose to spend an en- tire school year in Europe. Stephen Stelting participated in the Youth for Understanding program. Stelting spent his senior year in France. Meanwhile, Susanne Niedermeyer was living in Austria. Unlike Stelting she did not go with a program. She lived with relatives and attended a local school. Since she had planned this for several years, she attended summer school in Shawnee Mission so that she could graduate with her class. Breaking down nationality barriers proved to be rewarding as students gained an understanding of others around the world. lby Gloria Niemi and Laurie Richardsonl INTERNATIONAL CLUB: FRONT ROW-Susanne Treptow, Francois Vigier Letizia Ciardelli, Evelyn Sjogren, Meinert Klemm.

Students could drive to school, go 'out on Friday and Saturday nights without depending on their parents, or just drive around, enjoying their newfound freedom. However, some Northwest students did not wait until they were sixteen to get their licenses. Because restricted driver's licenses were available to Kansas resi- dents fourteen years old or older, stu- dents could drive alone even before they turned sixteen. A restricted driver's license was just like a regular license except the driver could only legally drive to and from work or school. Some students stayed within these restrictions, but others W is fx Q Y 4 lt's like being a car that's on an as- sembly line. You go to your first station and get a little work done on you. Then you go to your next station and get built up some more. Slowly but surely you be- gin to grow and to gain knowledge. Sometimes it's rough though. People along the line sometime treat you badly or put out a cigarette on your hood.

Having a restricted license is beneficial because your parents don't have to drive you where you want to go. My parents have been very tolerant because they let me drive anywhere, comment- ed Jim Caldwell. Mike Donilon added, A restricted license is helpful because you can be in- volved in after-school activities without making your parents pick you up or hav- ing to get a ride from someone else. Because of restricted licenses, many sophomores were able to drive to school.

Many sophomores protested the parking conditions and a petition was circulated to improve the street conditions.

All kinds of people take art, commented Mr. Roland Schmidt who taught oil painting, acrylic painting, watercolor, de- sign, drawing, and commercial art. Oth- er art classes that were offered included photography, ceramics, and jewelry- making. These art classes provided for a variety of interests for Northwest stu- dents. The art teachers found Northwest students to be amiable and good to work with. Mr. Schmidt liked Northwest stu- dents because of all the different types of students we have going here. Ms. Carol Harder, who taught photography, jewelry, and ceramics, agreed that Northwest students were super. Especially talented art students could further pursue their interest through art ,,f'V, contests, art fairs, and special shows and displays. Heather Pera was one such student who was successful in her efforts. Pera thought it a great honor to receive an award for her photography at the University of Kansas Gold Show. Many Northwest students found the art classes to be fun as well as helpful in developing their artistic talents.

Sophomore days were gone, and as juniors, students were thankful they never would be back. Being a sophomore meant con- stant jokes and put-downs. Just a short while later as a junior, high school started to look up and just maybe it could be fun. i Juniors started to become better friends with all the people they met as sophomores, and best of all, juniors were treated with respect. Juniors were no longer the babies of the school but now just kind of there, not really sure what was expected of them because they still weren't the oldest, but they weren't the youngest anymore. lt felt great not being the youngest, and it was exciting to think that next year they would be the oldest and most respected.

' Since freedom and independence were very important, Northwest offered responsible students the independence they had earned through the Plans program. Plan II students had more freedom than those in study hall. After checking in with their teacher, they were free to roam the mall area or to stay in the cafeteria to study. Angela Bybee liked Plan ll because she felt, Plan ll gives the students a little freedom and pre- pares them for the opportunities and responsibilities available with Plan II. fRogier Chapon said, One of the best things about Plan II is that you have the freedom. i To get the freedom a student must DURING CLASSES Plan ill students can use their card as a pass.

Once on Plan II, the student could go to the library, work with a teacher, or talk with a counselor. Stephanie Ferrell expressed the way that many people used Plan Il, Pm using it as a stepping stone to get on Plan lII. Plan III granted even more freedom than Plan Il. Students on Plan HI could come and go from school at any time during commons or lunch. When they were absent, the attendance secretary clidn't call their parents, Plan III students were allowed to go anywhere in the school using their Plan III card as a pass.

However, some did not feel they had that much more freedom. Dave Nelson remarked, Plan Ill really does not do what the rules say. The same things ap- ply whether you are on the plans or not. ' But most students did not feel that way. They enjoyed the extra freedom and responsibilities. I consider it a privilege to be on Plan III, a privilege no other high school has to offer, stat- ed Susan Bokun. lby Laura Davisl When you 're a junior, sure, you can park in the parking lot, get more privileges and classes, and no one yells, Hey Sophomore any more.

Juniors are also more coordinated than sophomores. I've never seen a junior or senior fall up a flight of stairs. Sophomores simply haven't learned about gravity yet. One more advantage to being a junior is that we are a year closer to graduating than the sophomores. -Eric Wylie Every hour student aides delivered lit- tle white or blue notices to students. Normally these notes did not cause concern because they only meant a trip to the office to find forgotten gym clothes, a message from home, or a counselor's appointment. However, the administrators and the counselors some- times had to deal with more serious problems. The problems that students faced var- ied. The counseling staff saw almost ev- ery imaginable situation. As Mr. Ben McGuire stated, You name a problem and we deal with it. Fortunately suicide, heavy drug use, and other major concerns surfaced infrequently. The most prevalent situations dealt with bythe counselors were problems encountered at home or at school. Divorce rates rose and so did the num- ber of single parent families. Clashing personalities between students and parents sparked disagreements that caused students to slip in their school work. In school, the most common problem came from getting behind in assignments because of frequent absences. Extended illness often caused students to fall be- hind in their homework. A lack of inter- SHOOTING RUBBER BANDS in class has its drawbacks. Steve Kucharski is reprimanded in his English class. tphoto by Jeff .1-mkrusr est in school also caused problems. Dr. Corky Jacobs felt that some students had lost interest because they had not been successful in school. Others did not have respect for a high school diploma. Peer pressure accounted for many problems. Jacobs felt, Peer pressure is the whole umbrella. The need to fit in causes many problems. A changing society put pressures on students also. McGuire explained that teachers and parents want them fthe students! to know more and do more than they did. The office dealt with fewer cases of heavy drug use. Students didn't seem to be interested in it. Alcohol became the most widely used drug because it was the easiest to acquire. The few students who used hard drugs had become sophisticated in their use so that it was hard to detect. However, positive changes occured also. Students, as a whole, were becom- ing more involved. As Dr. Frank Mermoud explained, They want to be a part of their school. School activities have become their outlet rather than do- ing something outside of school. lby Laurie Richardsonl THE USUAL PUNISHMENT for minor had behavior is the detention.

On the large concrete patio between the west side of the building and the student parking lot, students who smoked gathered before school, at lunch and between classes. There they could pass part of theirday and break away from the regular school routine. The All-School Smoking Area, or smoking lounge as it was more com- monly called, had been a regularly used part of Northwest since 1976, when it was first approved by the Board of Education. lt was credited with stopping smoking in the restrooms, reducing the number of suspensions, and helping to cut the amount of van- dalism. , ln 1985, it seemed that fewer stu- rl fiw e f I I , X , .,,. ,f ,f ' H i , ,,,,,,!. f rf fff X 4 MZ!!! ffff ,, 'I if ,ff I ff 1 f' .:2,,,-- ,g5, Sb X ss Q Q , k N ss' X f Q f W , V ,V , X ,Iss XM X .

A number of students who didn't smoke chose to visit their friends there and to take the chance to be outside. One possible reason there were few- er smokers were the number of anti- smoking campaigns run at Northwest during the year. Students took an ac- tive role in promoting the Great Ameri- can Smoke-out and again on Valentine's Day, StuCo encouraged both students and teachers to give up smoking for a day in order to Save a Sweet Heart. The students who used the smoking area met together early in the year to elect a committee to oversee the use of the area. That committee of eight students met monthly with Dr. Corky Jacobs, the principal in charge of the area. The biggest problem the commit- tee faced was making sure that the area was kept clean. They talked to people, posted signs, and made announcements in an effort to make sure, that everyone used the trash cans. Dr. Jacobs explained that the school board voted whether to approve the All-School Smoking Area each year. The approval for 1985 had been by a very close vote. The change of one vote could have eliminated the smoking area. As the campaign against smoking grew, the smoking area remained controversial. But students continue to use it even in bad weather. As Dr. Ja- cobs said, I think the students appreci- ated it. lby Jamie Riddelll E NO MATTER WHAT the weather the smoking lounge is always filled with stu- dents in between classes.

Questions arise whether black students are treated dif- ferently and how. At Northwest, the opinions varied. In Johnson County, the population was white-overwhelmingly white. Of the small handful of black students at Northwest, many felt they were treated no different than the white students. Furthermore, there were few, it any, ra- cial incidents, and little, if any, graffitti with racial slurs. No-I don't feel like l'm treated any different because of my skin color, commented Terri Campbell. And other student reactions were similar. Black students felt as if they were just the same as everyone else, Moreover, some contended that preju- dice at Northwest was at a minimum. Oh, there are people who are preju- dice, but it doesn't seem like there is much of it here at Northwest, contend- ed Tony Williams. Teachers' opinions, however, re- mained divicled. Mr. Jim Gum said, Teachers are not totally color blind, but most make every effort possible to avoid prejudices and racial innuendoesf' Mrs. Judy Jackson was a black teach- er whose own children attended North- west. As a teacher, it doesn't feel any dif- ferent to be black. A student feels differ- ent because they are different and they have different cultures. At Northwest, there are not enough positive black im- ages for students to look up to and fol- low. Since there aren't a lot of positive black forces, black students tend to draw back, and many don't get in- volved, commented Jackson. I don't think people treat me any dif- ferent, but l've known some of these people for over ten years. They're used to me being black, stated Andre Play- er. fby David Byrdl DURING STUDY HALL Brent Walker ex- plains a problem to Jeff Chalabi. lphoto by Ds- vid Byrdl 5111: ,ffhey re used to me black' 153 ,X design by Laurie Richardson T-cuff 154 Juniors Juniors Susanne Treptow, Jenny Tseng, Pamela Tureskis, Amy Turner, Kathleen Turner, Kelly Tumer, Marc Tweed William Tyler, Erich Ulmer, Kristina Undenavood, Brad Van Horn, Bryon Vanlerberg, Monique VanMeerhaeghe, Matthew Van Vleet Judy Verstraete, Mathew Vinyard, Ann Voll, Richard Wagoner, Brent Walker, James Walker, Robert Walker Alan Wall, Torey Wallace, Stephanie Walter, Lisa Walters, Marlin Wandling, Bruce Wankurn, Jane Warne Stacy Watson, William Watts, Laura Way, Julie Weaver, Lori Welch, Gregory Westgate, Albert Wharf!

They shared clothes, possessions, and friends, and were used to being mistaken for each other. As they tried to develop their own indi- vidual lives, they faced the problems and the benefits of being a twin. There were many advantages to be- ing a twin. For example, sharing clothes, having someone there when there was no one else around, and ot course, getting attention because you have a twin! Twins also had the advantage of try' ing to fool others by switching places in 73 i activities and classes. This, however, did not usually succeed because most sets of twins had distinct characteristics whether it be their clothes, their looks, or their personalities. Even so, it was often confusing to other students to know twins, and mistakes were com- mon. Most twins, however, were well- adjusted to being called by the wrong name. c One disadvantage to twinship was comparisons. People didn't always seem to realize that twins were individ- uals and had differences. Kathy Turn- er, a junior and a twin, commented, l s -sneer .-A-.snr X Q., 'vugggywnrf-1un,,h , 7 AQ 1 The worst thing about being a twin is forming your own identity and trying to cut loose from being Kelly's twin sis- ter' or 'one of the twins ', Being a twin was fun most of the timeg Once in a while it gets tiring and frustrating to have people call you by your last name just because they don't know which one you are. said Turner. Most twins were good friends and were content with having another that resembled them. However, only twins knew what it was like to live with a shadow all their lives. lby Kelly Turnerl. Being a junior is like a year-long break. You don 't have to be the youngest in the school and fight for your life in the halls. At the same time, you 're not the oldest and faced with big decisions. Being a ju- nior gives you time to get involved in many things and to just enjoy your life. -Kristin Williamson TWINS ARE OFTEN in classes together.

A stop sign becomes a target for a senior prank. lphoto by Brian Adrianol or seniors it's almost over Everyone had seen it, and most had written it one time or another. lt was the infamous, Have a super-terrific sum' mer. See ya next year! that appeared in yearbook signatures. But for some, time had run out. There wasn't a next year because they were seniors. Every senior had been advised beforehand about the most famous year of them all. It was the year to take two study halls and a not-scheduled. Parties were never ending. Homework became a thing ot the past. 'l'hat's how the story went, but seniors soon learned that someone had forgotten to mention the extra responsibilities giv- en to seniors. Preparations for graduation began early. Seniors ordered announcements. Caps and gowns had to be fitted. Proud seniors were seen toting their newly ac- quired tassels to their cars. Deciding on what to do after high school posed a major decision for most. Those entering the working world had to decide what career they would pursue. Making college decisions was trying for many. Seniors rushed to meet appli- cation deadlines, and were then in- formed that a verdict on their future wouldn't be reached until April. It was then their decision where to spend the next tour years of their lives. In the midst of the hustle-bustle of the senior year, there was an outbreak of an epidemic. Senioritis infected the majority of the seniors. Glazy stares and blank notebook pages plagued many unsuspecting seniors. An l-don't-care- I'm-a-senior attitude struck many. Care had to be taken if they did not want to fall behind. As spring approached, they realized that it was almost over. Spring break was spent with friends. Prom prepara- tions had to be made. Then before they knew it, graduation was there, and with it came the end of one of the best years of their lives, thy Laurie Richardsonl ,.,'5'.f' 'V . ri 4151 W I Brett Bendure Cheryl Bergman Tracy Berkey Sean Betta Lesa Betts Wil Heidi Biehl William Biehl Daniel Bock David Boehnke , ff Wendi Bono For seniors it's almost over 157 design by Laurie Richardson K I Seniors 1 1 in ' Michael Bostick N Susan Bowers Ryan Boyington Michael Braden A Amy Bradley 1 W Ronald Braet 2 Kathleen Brennan Q I Kathryn Brent 5 April Brown !

The fun and excitement of the last pat of school overshadowed the homework and tests. But students who graduated early felt that it was the only way. Students could graduate at the semes- ter of their senior year. Many chose to do so for various reasons. Most went to work full time to earn money for their college education. The students who graduated early felt like they were getting a lot more out of life. Terri Reilly said, Graduating early has helped me to realize my responsibili- ties as an adult. Even though I knew be- fore I graduated I was going to go to col- lege, I now know that a person needs an education to get anywhere in lifef' Terri attended Johnson County Community College and worked two jobs besides. I'rn never bored. l'm busier now than I ever have been. M IM' Andrea Becker, also a senior, regret- ted not graduating early. I come to school for five hours and leave. Many seniors felt more involved their sophomore and junior years. Since I only have to be in school five yours, that's all I come and I have to work to save up for my college education. There just isn't any time to get involved in ex- tracurricular activitiesf' said Becker. Iby Kim Meyerl The Class of '85 has certainly been the backbone for Northwest. We seniors are born leaders and are constantly looked to for guidance. We are looked up to besides the fact that some of us are shorter than even some sophomores. The seniors are here to make up for the lowest form of life, a sophomore, or as they call themselves, SOFMORS. Without a senior class, especially one so ingenious as the Class of '85, the sopho- mores might corrupt the juniors, who are just recovering from a previous year. The juniors must learn from us so as to carry on the tradition of guiding lesser people. -Dan Bock WORKING FULL TIME becomes the main activity for early graduates.

Julie Hammer schedules her next appointment. lphoto by Lau- rie Richardsoni Students find indoor sunshine Not all students who came back from spring break with tans had taken an ex- pensive trip to Hawaii or Florida. Many had visited tanning salons which were becoming an increasingly popular trend. The salons had tanning booths or beds. More than one hour in the booth was not recommended. Often package deals were available. Package deals, which could contain as many as 78 sessions, cost less than sin- gle sessions, which at Nature's Way cost 57.00 a visit. People could buy their own tanning beds. There were different styles of beds, as low as S1800 or as high as 312,000 ' Many high school students invested in tanning booth or tanning bed ses- sions. They would start their tans be- fore vacations so they would look good at the beach or by the pool. Kelly Kreutzer went to a salon because she was tired of being white. Were the tanning salons just fads? Or would they remain popular for a while? Beth Gutgemos, an employee of Euro Tan Tanning Salon, thought they would not just be fads, especially in the Midwest. They've been on the East and West coasts longer. And people want to look tan year-round. So before the summer months, stu- dents started their tans at tanning sa- lons. They went to achieve that Florida look. Even though they could be expensive, some students thought they were worth the expense. As Amy Mcl-lenry said, It's relaxing when you're listening to music and you don't have to worry about blowing S500 when you can spend less than fifty and look like you have been to Florida. lby Anne Jonesl ,ffl if 1-iv .lf-f -a Z- L., Y Y 9-17-- Jeffrey Derks Julie Des Combes Douglas DeVito Christopher Dewey Ted Dice Christopher Diehn Michael Dodson Stacy Doherty Norman Dowd Kimberly Downing Students Find Indoor Sunshine 161 Design by Laurie Richardson ' :iul'5?Xu1- ---- ...s -l-tr.v- 1 1 1 1 . 1 1 .li 11 1 1 1 . 1 W . 1 1 I 1 n WIII 1 1 I 1 , 1 11 1 111 111 11 11j x14 1111 1 11' 1 1 11, 1, 1 I 1 1 1 11 1 ' 1 J 1 1 . 1 1 1 ,, W1 11 1 1 1 1 11 111 11 111 1,1 11 1.

I-iow's it going? Most people used such simple phrases without think- ing about them. However, they had a foreign sound to those people who did not know English. Several students at Northwest spoke English as a second language. Many of the students' families decided to move to the United States for job opportunities. George Tseng came from Kaohsiung, Taiwan when he was tive years old. He didn't know English when he arrived, but he soon learned at school. Chris Bui learned to adapt to the American culture after leaving Vietnam. He felt that it was hard for the first few weeks that he was here. I could say yes or no, but not that I didn't understand what someone was saying. Both Bui and Tseng felt that the school systems abroad challenged stu- dents more at an earlier age. Tseng started kindergarten at the age of three. More emphasis was placed on math and science. The Shawnee Mission School District designed a program called English as a Second Language to aid students who had immigrated recently. Mrs. Ann Wil- liams worked with the students who came to Northwest. She helped them , fy, M 1 I l l l wg! - 1 u 1 1 I li 1 s 4'f ' M ,f,ffe ' with their reading, writing, and conversa- tion skills. Mrs. Williams felt that the students she worked with adjusted quite well. She commented, They are more dili- gent students because they want to learn, and they seem to make greater gains. They seem to fit in once the stu- dents are willing to help them. According to the United States citizen- ship laws, the students became citizens when their parents did. However, when the students turned 18 they had the op- tion of changing their citizenship to that of their homeland. tby Laurie Richardsonl Being a senior has given me mixed re- actions. lt's great to hnally be able to have an excuse for my mistakes.

I see being a senior as just another school year, only there is more to look forward to and more to get done.

So are eight semesters of college. -Kara Greene LEAVING FOR SCHOOL, Katie Brent says good-bye to her mother. Parents will get used to longer separations when their chil- dren go away to college. tphoto by Laurie Richardsonj College stirs parents' emotions Each time that graduation approach- ed, a group of people felt a loss. They still remembered the graduates as small, playful children. However, the children had grown and their parents had to deal with the fact that a member of the fam' ily was leaving home. As many seniors prepared to go to college, parents found that their child's upcoming deparure brought mixed emo' tions. The excitement of seeing their son or daughter out on his own was often overshadowed by their concern for him. Even though seniors often tried to deny their dependence on their parents, they knew that being away from home would be very different. No one would be there to do laundry or to bring them a forgotten item. At home there would be a void from the absence of their kid. It meant one less mouth to feed, fewer clothes to wash, and a little more silence in the house. Mrs. Charlotte Simmons felt It's going to be very different without her lAnneliesel here. But I'rr1 looking forward to her leaving for her. Having an older sibling already in col- lege didn't make letting go easier. However, these parents had already ex- perienced the separation process before. Mr. Joe Agnitsch said, Since she tKristil is the last one leaving the nest, it's hard to let go, but on the other hand it's exciting to watch them start their life and career. Parents approached graduation with mixed emotions because of the loss that it meant. However, the excitement overshadowed their apprehension as they watched their children's lives move in new directions. Mrs. Simmons summed it up, I'm not sad that she's leaving because it's another step for her. lby Laurie Richardsonl m 1 1 1 ,L , 1 , SL, ,,,f wi at James Herbert Leslie Hermreck Mike Hill Daniel Hillyer Tracy Hodges Howard Hoeven Kimberly Hofer Marcy Holm Karen Hopson Mary Horvatin College stirs parents' emotions 165 design by Perry Schrag 166 Seniors Seniors Steven Housenga John Howard Richard Huber Kelly Hunter Kristina Hunter Julie Hutchings Theresa Hutchinson Jill Jackard Carolyn James Pamela James Alyssa Jasperson Jeffery Jenkins Bret Jewell Marilyn Jochim David Johns Laurie Johnson Mark Johnson Richard Johnson Samuel Johnson Todd Johnson Bradley Jones Carol Jones David Jones Jennifer Jones Kim Jungling Jay Kakert Shelley Kane Kelly Keefer Mark Keener David Keller 'bm 'UW Wm N Wu XX in Nl?

Dragging finger- nails down a chalkboard can make students Cilly. tphoto by Laurie Richardsoni Pests and peeves drive people crazy Nothing could be more annoying than a bothersome habit, an agitation of the senses, or a perturbation of the mind. ln other words, a pet peeve. To some these peculiarities caused extreme discomfort. For others they were just a mild annoyance. Yet, whatever the irratation, pet peeves took different forms, and sometimes seemed odd. One of the more common peeves was scraping fingernails on a chalk board. Just the thought of those long, uncut nails streaking down the board, and the screech that accompanied the scratch, sent chills down the spine. Other common nuisances were those who ate with their mouths open. Even more annoying were those who made noises when they ate. Nothing grosses me out more than people who sit there and grind their food with their mouth wide open. It's sick! stated Sara Fiscus. Changing the radio station during a song ranked near the top of the list. Switching from KY-102 to KBEQ to KLZR to ZZ99 and back to KY-102 irri- tated some students. Moreover, it got on others' nerves when people sang to songs. ' Usually their singing is not bad, but I just like to listen to the songs some- times, commented Kim Nixon. Tracy Alber's biggest pet peeve was when people put the toilet paper in backwards. '4Otherwords you have to chase it underneath, chided Tracy. Slow drivers bugged Kelly I-Ieying. You think it's just old people who can't drive, but you'd be surprised. Tobacco spit topped many people's list as the ultimate pet peeve. When people are walking. out of the classroom and try and spit their chew into the can! shivered Lisa Hefner. Whatever the bother, people had a long list of pet peeves. Burping, combing hair in class, or rolling toothpaste wrong sent students off in a frenzy. lby David Byrdl g Catherine Kelly Tracey Ketner Marc Kimminau wi flf 4 f l Jamie King M f K W, if ferry, ffn- f Z of 4' lf X ' f , f 7 X W5 Q Lf 1'-'lffrp if 10 .

Letizia Ciardelli plays tennis with Lori. iphoto by David Byrdl a Onl kids aren't exactly spoiled Brothers and sisters-most people thought that they could be real pests at times. They dreamed of getting rid of those creatures whose only purpose was tormenting others. They envied their friends who were only children. To them it meant no fighting with siblings and more time with parents. Anneliese Simmons commented, l think it would be a lot of fun becausel would be able to spend more time with my parents and l'd have more privacy. Being an only child did have its advantages. Only children didn't have to share bedrooms or bathrooms with messy little sisters. Their parents had more time to spend with them. Sam Johnson felt that he received more time and more spending money from his parents than his friends with siblings did. However, only children also had disadvantages. Even though few ad- mitted it, brothers and sisters could be fun at times. Only children missed hav- ing a relationship with a sibling. This re- lationship taught students how to compromise in order to live with another person. Only children learned to spend much of their time alone. Johnson said, At times being an only child is being a lone- ly child, but at other times it's good. I enjoy spending time alone. As children they didn't always have someone to play with. However, this usually didn't pose a problem as long as they had other children their age to in- teract with. Many only children wished that they had a brother or sister. Johnson said that he had always wanted an older brother. Lori Rinard got to experience both sides by hosting a foreign exchange sister. s Sometimes their friends stereotyped the only children as spoiled brats. Anneliese Simmons didn't believe that this was true. Even though they're ste- reotyped as spoiled brats, all the only children I know are really nice people. lby Laurie Richardsonl i i l 1 l - nga?

Some come with being more mature, like plan lll. But the best privileges came from be- ing more mischievous and self-assured so that getting away with things becomes a way of life. To become a true senior, one must develop a sense of I can do anything l want, I 'm an adult. -Jonathan Roberts AS KANSAS LEGISLATORS debate raising the drinking age, many non-alcoholic bars, such as the In Zone have opened. qphoro by Bri- an Adrianol of - o 0 r o Hlsherdnnklns 9999199 Turning 18 meant voting, the draft, and beer in many seniors' minds. lt meant more privileges, and more re- sponsibilities. But in 1985 one of the privileges began to be considered too much for an 18-year-old to handle. In re- sponse to a five-year revived interest in relating auto accidents to drinking, spurred on by lobbyists mainly from MADD Mothers Against Drunk Drivingl, new legislation regulating the consump- tion of alcohol was passed. Among these new laws was one that President Reagan signed in July--a measure withholding a portion of federal highway funds from states that did not enact a minimum drinking age of .21 by 1987. ln order to continue receiving federal funding, the Kansas legislators created a bill proposing a higher drinking age. Already passed by the House of Repre- sentatives, it would raise the drinking age to 19 on July 1, 1985. It would not affect those already 18 before that date. The intent was to phase in the enact- ment of the law. The drinking age would be raised to 20 the year after, and to 21 the next year. Of course, the bill could be changed in the Senate, but it seemed likely to pass as it stood. The proposed increase in the drinking age did not affect rnost seniors. If be a realit passed, it was the juniors who would be excluded from bars and purchasing beer. Butpwhat of the seniors born after July 1? They faced the possibility of be- ing left out when their friends went out partying in bars. They would have to resort, like sophomores and iuniors, to asking someone older to buy their beer for them. As Jennifer Ferrell expressed, Im upset because it's cutting off people in the same grade. I don't think it's going to cut down on drunk driving because 9 you'Il be able to get it anyway. lby Jen- ny Tsengl 1 667 Kathryn Oleson Jennifer Olsen Gregory Olson Melanie 0'NeaI Lisa Opitz or f ff Ronald Orser Michele Pagni Michael Palitto Stephen Palitto Christopher Papa i 4 Higher drinking age may be a reality 171 design by Laurie Richardson Seniors f . 4 Sheri Paquette Gwendolyn Parrett Sumitra Patel Scott Pattison Stacy Payne Jill Pendergrass Troy Peters Suzanne Peterson Denise Petty John Petty LouAnn Petty Michelle Pfannenstiel Jamie Pfeifer Robert Place David Platt Andre Player Kari Plum Susan Pollard Christopher Pollock El Paul Pomerantz Anthony Powers Paul Preusch Larry Priddy Darin Pritchett Kimberly Proctor Kelley Radke Melinda Rafferty Scott Ragan Timothy Ratzburg Gerald Raw ,af 'QQ 'Qu 'QR W , bf N' 4 Goh matic iors Vl- lege F Son to 99' prefel and f, expla on ml ily, 2: Ott 2 I .3 Q sg? li ' .f l l ,Pg N ' Seniors faced with leaving home Going away to college could be a trau- matic experience for anyone.

The biggest fear of students was los- ing track of their closest friends. Even through a lot of my friends will be with me at KU, I'm really going to miss the ones who will attend a different college. We've already planned when we can all get together on Thanksgiving and Christ- mas breakf' said Kathy Brennen. Most students were excited about the new people they were going to meet. Chris Gondek commented, Pm excited as blazesf' Another thing students considered was their college study habits. Pye heard horrible stories about the work load, but you can't worry about ulcers before they happen, said Doug DeVito. Every stu' dent knew the work would be tedious at the college level, but that didn't lessen the excitement of going out into the real world alone. lby Kim Meyerl The word senior means top of the heap, the one with the most experience. But I don 't quite agree with that. To me, senior means responsibility and anxiety. Anxiety equals college. Some look far away while others stay close to home. The underclassmen are still something to look down upon, but they really are not that brunt of hilarity like you be- lieved they were when you were a soph- omore. Seniors are a rare breed, and a successful breed at that. The rigors of these long, hard years are behind us, but four more years lay ahead for some of us.

A short while later she was sitting in the church pew with her family while the minister read the scripture. She was one of the many students who attend- ed Sunday morning church services. In the last decade the major reli- gious denominations experienced a surge in the number of new youth members. Not only did high school stu- dents attend church regularly, but many also were active members of church youth organizations. These groups help weekly meetings. The Lenexa United Methodist Church, for example, had a Bible study, a snack supper, and a youth meeting on Sunday nights. The First Baptist Church of Shawnee held a Wednesday night Bible study. Church groups also organized many fun activities. Bowling, ice skating, and pizza parties were a few activities that they planned. The Lenexa United Methodist Church planned a ski trip for spring break. Activities such as ski trips are fun because I don't get to spend very much time with some of my friends at church, said Kim Parker. ftfiddr' ffl Money-making projects such as chili suppers, bake sales, car washes, and slave days were important activities for the youth groups. Kathy Oleson felt that a group became closer when they worked hard to make money to help someone else. Non-denominational religious organ- izations grew also. They were not con- nected with a specific church, and they accepted anyone as members. l Kansas City Youth for Christ had a large membership. Several Northwest students were involved in it.

I-le said, The main thing that bothers me is that everyone has to make a big issue out of religion. Students from several different schools composed most church youth groups. This gave people a chance to make friends outside of school. Kari Rowland expressed, My best friends are at church. I know that I couldn't make it through a week at school without going to church on Sundays. Students went to church because it was important to them. They enjoyed their youth groups and chose to attend.

Seniors were mature and experienced, but also wild and rebellious. To me, sen- ior year represented a cumulation of all the ideals of teen-age life. Last August when I marched through the doors of my alma mater, I expected to feel different, but I felt just the same. Where was all the excitement? Then I realized that I was the one who had to make the most of my senior year. I got involved in class- es, projects, and activities. I spent the year anticipating college and the years beyond, and also looking back sentimentally on years past. I started to realize what senior year was all about. It was a time to mature, change, and prepare for the future. I look forward to, but also regret graduation which will be the peak, but also the end of one of the best experiences of my life. -Anneliese Simmons FANCY cosrumss ARE part of the I glamour of actors and dancers.

However, a few Northwest students had made big plans for the future. Amy Turner, a talented dancer, sing- er, and actress, planned to graduate after three years of high school. After graduation, she planned to go to New York and study dance. Amy also planned to compete in the Miss Dance Competition and attend auditions. As a l0n9'fange goal, Amy would like to Someday perform in a Broadway play and a motion picture. Commented Turn- er, ln show business, it is difficult to plan too far in advance. You have to go to auditions and just see how it turns out. Wade Schroeder was a gymnast whose goal was to make the 1988 or 1992 Olympics. He had taken gymnastics for three years at Elite Gymnastics Club and practiced exten- sively four to five days per week. Wade planned to stay with Elite through the competitive season following his graduation and then either get private coaching or attend a college with a strong gymnastics program. Another talented Northwest senior was Greg Schlotthauer, a pianist and singer. Greg had played piano for twelve years, and played for choirs and churches as well as singing in the top choirs in the state and at Northwest. Greg wanted to go to New York or Chicago to study and pursue a musical career. Said Schlotthauer, I've applied to K.U., but I don't know if I want to go there. I don't think it would be a big enough step. I was just going to New York, but I don't think it's very realistic, at least not yet. Most students had dreams, but these three seniors had very big dreams and hoped to make them come true. lby Glo- ria Niemil I l -il Seniors not pictured James Bauer Andrew Blair Jeffrey Carnes Kimberly Foley Meghan Zimmerman t Alissa Zinn E William Hoffman Ralph Hoover Debrae Tomlen Lisa Warnke Talented seniors strive for success 179 design by Perry Schrag ,,..,,f- - ,. . p ,... x , Y, -. -H . -4 , ,..-..,,,.4...... fi! mx ,, yi Q 0 ff? f Sw.

As they worked at drawing layouts, printing pictures, writing copy, writing captions and typing, the stereo blared and there were frequent trips to Quik Trip and Burger King. Finally the work was completed, usually just a few hours before the pages were taken to the printer. Despite tedious work and rushed deadlines, the Lair had received high honors.

We could hit six straight, Knipp comment- ed, but . .. The Passage staff produced a paper nearly every two weeks including special issues for Christmas and graduation. One other issue each semester was overseen by the Journalism II students. It was at this time that reporters became editors, and editors became staff report- ers. They also received added help from the Journalism I students for this issue. In November, the Passage staff sent eight students to the NSPA National Convention in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Ms. Thressa Newell, an English teacher, sponsored the organization. Penpoint meetings were held every Monday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Ms. Newell's house. At the meetings, members discussed the submissions and decided if they should be included in the magazine. Seniors Mary Horvatin and Pam James were co-editors. As an editor, we don't really do all that much. We make sure the meetings run smoothly and get the magazine to the printer, said Mary Horvatin.

The National Honor Society, a group of almost 50 academically acclaimed students, had convened for their monthly meeting. At this meeting, as most, not much was accomplished. As President Byrd asked for proposals, suggestions could be heard for an NHS skip day, and NHS all-school snowball fight and an NHS all-school slumber party . Needless to say, none of these activities became more than ideas. However, the activities finally emerging from these monthly meetings were successes. Christmas Caroling, the December romp in the snow and the Send a bunny to your honey were the high points of the year's activities.

Qphoro by Brian Adfianoy Focusing on improvem nt The timing seemed perfect. Septem- ber, 1984, brought the ABC documen- tary To Save Our Children, to Save Our Schools, and it also brought North Central Evaluation to Northwest. The documentary focused on education andfor the lack of education in the na- tion. Skipping, a declining number of good teachers, and a lack of funds and student interest were some of the prob- lems examined. But after two and a half hours of discussing problems in American high schools, the ABC program said, But there are good American high schools. Then the Northwest mall was on the screen and the Northwest barbershop quartet singing, Gaudeamus lgitur. Northwest was featured as a school that had the problems under control and was working to be the very best. Dr. Mermoud, principal, stated that, The general tone throughout the na- tion is to improve. The Shawnee Mission District has always been at the front, but we can be even better. North Central Evaluation was one process by which Northwest tried to improve. It was a program that re- quired schools to examine every aspect of their education system. Every seven years Northwest underwent this complete examination. Teachers and administration formed committees and each committee was 190 Focusing on improvement assigned an area to carefully and thoroughly examine. The committees revised the purpose and goals of Northwest, they examined areas such as extracurricular activities, physical features of the school, organizations, and each subject area offered. Each teacher also underwent a self- evaluation. ln October 1985, a group of 35 or 40 evaluators would come from the North Central Association to evaluate Northwest and the staff. Out of a year long process came many reports and ideas for improve- ment. Northwest expected to put many of the suggestions in practice in an ef- fort to be the best possible school for students. The North Central Evaluation is an excellent way to take a look at yourself, to step back and see if we are doing what we say we are and how well we are doing it, commented Dr. Mermoud. The ABC documentary To Save Our Children, to Save Our Schools encouraged the nation's educators to improve the education system so that students could be given the best possi- ble education. Northwest students were proud- to have their school featured as one of the best schools in the nation, but the teachers and administration knew that a good school required con- stant evaluation and efforts to improve. fby Debra Sissell is-sjvgli .an-.-..--:......1.-5 -P- 'h 'W' L.

The English curriculum had also changed. Sopho- mores studied American literature and wrote long reports on the year they were born.

Continued from 194. . . Johnson County Community College for their effort if they chose to enroll in a new program called College Now. Many sophomores and some juniors had driver's education as a part of their day. The future drivers had simulation films to prepare them for driving. Then they began going out in the cars for firsthand experience. About two or three students were in one car. lt could be pretty scary sometimes when a classmate was driving, commented Marla Coldiron. At some point during the day, there Was usually a physical education class. For most students this class was a chance to be out of the classroom and to take a break. There were many dif- lefenf types of PE classes like basket- ball, tennis, volleyball and more. Weights class was popular with the 91195, but many girls began to take an interest in the class too. Modern dance Was taken by many girls also. In the Pail, Students from all grades were mixed together, but by 1984, sopho- more PE was started.

They also started in-depth re- search projects which they worked on all year. Bio Il students spent a lot of time at the University of Kansas Medical Center in research. Student Naturalist was another course. Each student had his own critter like a snake or guinea pig. The student had to feed and take care of his critter and write reports on it. They also gave tours of the environmental lab and ran the greenhouse. At the end of the year, the student naturalists gave a plant sale from the greenhouse. After rushing from class to class throughout the morning, it was finally time for a break-lunch. The lunchroom was always filled with stu- dents, but even more students raced to their cars and headed for McDonald's, Burger King or some other fast food place. lt definitely had to be fast, because 25 minutes later the students had to be back in class. Some students skipped lunch as a chance to catch up on their work, usually finishing some- thing due the next hour. After lunch, a student might head to some sort of social studies class. Psychology and Sociology electives were usually considered more fun than the required government or American . , . continued on page 202 Flii.. ...M L, js i i 1 l l i l t 'l 4 l E i i i li 2 l?

The English curriculum changed drastically. All students took a full year of English. The sophomores studied American literature, the juniors studied British literature, and finally, the sen- iors studied World literature. According to division coordinator, Mrs. Rosemary Brouhard, the mini- courses were dropped for several reasons. The mini-courses were hard to schedule, there was little time to get to know the students, and the program was very expensive. There were advantages to the loss of mini-courses as well as disadvantages. Teachers could no longer teach their areas of particular interest. Most of the English teachers agreed that the advantages of the new curriculum it outweighed the disadvantages. As Mrs. jr Brouhard said, The new curriculum F will be more effective academically. lby Kim Meyerl M king 9 fh g ada Academics 197 design by Perry Schrag ,sm-dare? i STUDENTS OFTEN TURN to teachers for versation Mr Clipner smiles as he talks advice or just to carry on a friendly con with his students tph to by .lm Hall i W teachers show style At Northwest there were about one hundred teachers each with his or her own way of teaching Good teachers were often those who had interesting and unusual teaching styles Students and even President Reagan recognized the teachers who contributed something different and special to education. One of the favorite teachers in the science department was Mr. Gum. This is his first year of teaching, but he seems to be a natural-born teacher. I sit in class and listen to his stories and don't even realize that I'm learn- ing, said Stephanie Anderson. Among the English teachers, stu- dents mentioned Mr. Clipner and Mr. Parker. Mr. Clipner taught English 12 AP and was said to have prepared stu- dents for college more than most teachers did. He believes more in stu- dents than most teachers, said Melanie O'Neal. Besides teaching Enlish, Mr. Parker taught Drama, Speech, and Actors' Studio. He liked to try experiments, such as moving the desks a certain way, to observe the re- action of the students. He also liked to use the expressions, Get off my lilypad! and Get a clue! Mr. Ringer, a math teacher, had his 198 Making the Grade own philosophy about teaching Mr Ringer believed the students were in control of the numbers and not the numbers in control of the students. Some students had a hard time adjust- ing to it but once they got it they learned more than they expected He pushed students and made them want to learn. For the second year in a row, a Northwest teacher received a Presiden- tial Award for Excellence in Teaching. After being nominated, Mrs. Nichols, a math teacher, prepared and submitted to the Kansas Department of Education some requested material. She learned in June that she had been chosen as one of two Kansas finalists. Then a na- tional committee chose her, and she re- ceived a 55,000 grant to be used for improving teaching programs in the Shawnee Mission School District, and also an all-expenses paid trip to Washington, D.C. to receive the award. Teaching styles changed from teacher to teacher. Interesting teachers tended to make students pay attention and want to learn. Students appreciat- ed teachers who took a special interest in their subject and in their students. lby Marla Coldironl TEACHERS HAVE a wide variety of teach' Ing styles.

All my initial excitement came flooding back, and I was euphoric for several days. As July came and went, however.. .I heard that the announce- ment was delayed in the White House. . .

The personal congratulations, the phone calls, cards and notes were won- derful, But a question by a Kansas City Star reporter raised the perspec- tive issue again.

Q X .M X , Students find ways to relax between classes Seven straight hours of constant learning? No way! Something was needed to break the routine, and stu- dents relied heavily on study halls, assemblies, passing periods, and lunch. Every two weeks during second hour, the Spirit Club put on pep assemblies. Spirit Club members could get out of the school-day routine to watch the Cougarlympics, the year's theme of the Spirit Club. Fifty minutes of friends, relaxation, and time away from the book attracted a majority of the student body. The opportunity to get out of class was passed up by a few, yet by the end of the fifty minutes, the monotony continued. Study halls were classic examples of blow-off classes. For juniors and sen- iors, there was the plan system. This system enabled eligible students to spend their study hall time out in the mall. The mall was an ideal place to break routine, to gossip, to lounge, and to flirt. Of course, students with tests the next hour or the following day took advantage of the free time to brush up. The brief five minutes passing time between classes, meant trips to friends' lockers, the bathroom, or the mall to catch up on the day's events. The smoking lounge was frequented by those wanting a quick cigarette or a breath of fresh air. Five minutes were not very long, yet allowed students an interruption in their heavy academic schedules. As fifth hour rolled around, it was lunchtime! Time to get out of the school and into the atmosphere of Burger King or McDonald's. Students with open lunch passes anticipated the lunch more than any other. For those who chose to dine in the cafeteria, there was still a chance to be with friends and get away from the books. Much appreciated and well worth the wait, breaks in the day kept the students going. fby David Byrdl MANY STUDENTS take a break in the day ln the school cafeteria.

Quick response was the key to a successful Categories team. Categories was a quiz-show-like com- petition which all the Shawnee Mission High Schools along with Blue Valley, Olathe North, and Olathe South High Schools took part in. Competitions were taped at Mohawk Instructional Center and could be viewed on channel IOA. The host of the Categories show, Dr. Terry Parks, would ask questions like: Who was the first Republican Presiden- tial Candidate? and What is the capital of Tasmania? David Byrd, captain of the Northwest Categories team, best de- scribed the shows as fierce competi- tion. The northwest Categories team held meetings on Mondays after school. At meetings they used quiz books to help get quick response. Members talked about strategies also. The meetings after school helped prepare the team for the Categories show and various tourna- ments. The popularity of Categories has grown tremendously in Kansas as well as Northwest.

English, science and social studies pro- vided outside-the-classroom programs. Before Christmas, Mrs. Brouhard's and Mr. Gunter's junior English classes visited the Missouri Repertory Theatre to see A Christmas Carol. In April, they went back to the theatre for Pe- ter Pan. Before each play, they studied the books and attended seminars with cast and crew members from the theatre. It was a neat way to learn. It's a lot better than reading the book and just taking a test, remarked Brett Louis. Biology classes encouraged students to work on outside science projects. Mr. Mohling's Biology I Honors re- quired a science project. Mr. Frisby's Biology Il classes were given a choice. It gives you different aspects of learning that you wouldn't receive in the classroom, said Anneliese Simmons. Mr. Frisby helped students find a physician to assist their work. The interested students then set a schedule to work at the University Of Kansas Medical Center. Projects ranged from Hcyclosphorin-A to osteoporosis, Students also took part in social studies programs that taught ther government, politics, and history be- yond Northwest's rooms. Mrs. Webb sponsored Youth In Government, a mock session of the Kansas Legislature for students to take part in the law making process. Students worked to pass bills and resolutions, and learned the workings of the legislature during a weekend in Topeka. You get to see how government works, instead of reading it out of books, commented Greg Knipp. In the Issues '85 program, the school district sponsored A Metro Vi- sion, allowing students to learn the fine details of local government. Issues participants dealt with community prob- lems such as transportation, city image, education, and health services. Close-Up, sponsored by Mr. Ryan, helped students learn government and politics on a national level. Four stu- dents spent a week in Washington, D.C. with others from across the na- tion, attending seminars, work sessions, and lecture series. Moreover, the stu- dents participated in a Crisis Simulation Game. Students played the roles of leaders of various countries as the sponsors set up crisis scenarios for them to deal with. The Crisis Game was the most inter- esting part of the whole trip, said Da- vid I-Ieitmeyer. tby David Byrdl ACTORS FROM the Missouri Repertory Theatre give workshop for juniors before they attend A Christmas Carol. tphoto by Jim Hallerl 212 First hand experience YOUTH IN GOVERNMENT is an organiza- tion for students interested in politics.

Students Naturalists met both as a class and a club. Their three main projects were the outdoor environmen- tal lab, the greenhouse, and the muse- um they maintained in their classroom. In fall and spring the Naturalists con- ducted tours of the environmental lab for biology classes and for elementary school classes. In winter they worked on individual projects and raised plants in the greenhouse. Their annual spring plant sale helped them raise money for field trips. In the spring of 1985 they planned a major trip to Nebraska to observe the crane migration. Mu Alpha Theta, for students 214 Challenging clubs meet student needs interested in mathematics, was one of the school's youngest clubs. Its twelve members met every Wednesday after school to prepare for competition. They competed with each other in solving problems as they readied themselves for the Spring Research and Development Forum. The Science Fiction Club met every Tuesday after school. Its members traded and discussed books, watched tapes of science-fiction movies, and tried various sci-fi games. Some of the members also worked with SEEK teacher Mr. Eric Flesher to develop individual projects in science-related fields such as astronomy. jby Marla Coldironj The Greenhouse is kept up by the Student Naturalists.

In January the state select- ed Northwest, along with S.M. East, Sali- na South, Salina Central, Sumner Academy and Topeka Seaman for consideration by the U.S. Office of Edu- cation as exemplary schools. This same Secondary School Recognition Program honored S.M. West and S.M. South in 1984. Cougar Pride stood tall at this recogni- tion, but what made Northwest one of the state's top schools? Former Secretary of Education, T.H. Bell stated, Our search for unusually successful schools will continue to high- light overall quality in programs, policies and practices combined with clear evi- dence of success at identifying and overcoming obstacles . . . Overcoming obstacles was one of the most important factors in this search. Northwest has shown an extremely high rate of success through the past years. In 1969 Northwest opened its doors with a very open and free philosophy. The students had very few rules to fol- low for attendance and behavior. The thought was that students should have their freedom until they showed they no longer deserved it. The result was high absenteeism and behavior problems. Northwest revised its philosophy to include the Plans Program. ln order to advance in the Plans Program and therefore gain more freedom, a student had to prove responsibility before being given freedom. Policies and procedures were written down and followed consistently. Stu- dents knew what was expected of them and the results of bad behavior. Decreasing absenteeism was another goal of the Northwest faculty. In the past few years the daily percentage of absenteeism had dropped to 43070. This average dropped consistently every year. We are an example of a school that has exibited success at solving problems, said Northwest Principal, Frank Mermoud. A successful school is exactly what the program hoped to present as an example for others. State-wide honor was not all North- west had to look forward to. Sending the applications and recommendations to the U.S. Office of Education was the 216 NW achieves excellence next step. Following an initial review the national panel members would select a group of schools across the Nation wor- thy of further research. A panel member would visit the school and gather more information and then compile a report. After reviewing the reports the panel would identify a final group of schools for National recognition from the Secon- dary School Recognition Program and the Secretary of Education. Each school would be honored in a National Recogni- tion Ceremony to take place in Septem- ber of 1985. Northwest had exhibited all the quali- ties of an exemplary school and was chosen as one of Kansas' finest schools. The National panel would now make the decision if Northwest was one of the top schools in the Nation. Faculty and stu- dents believed in Northwest and anx- iously awaited September of 1985 with high hopes that Northwest would be nationally recognized as an exemplary school. lstory by Debra Sissell QUALITY HAS ALWAYS been a part of Northwest. ln March of 1985 four Northwest teachers are nominated for The Greater Kansas City Excellence in Teaching Program. Teachers from all over the Greater Kansas City area are nominated. Then committees from The Chamber of Com- merce of Greater Kansas City, The Kansas City Star Company, and The Learning Ex- change choose those teachers who best ex- emplify excellence in teaching.

Qphoto by Tra- cy Alberl W W Students involve themselves to prepare for the future our own way Making decisions was hard for almost everyone especially when the decisions affected the rest of their lives. For students at Northwest, decisions had to be made for the future. Even in the first year of high school, students be- gan fulfilling educational requirements and preparing for the future. Many students were not only dream- ing of the future but already living in it. Many classes began preparing students for career choices. A variety of business, home economics, industrial arts and computer classes tried to interest stu- dents in a particular field. Computers became a necessity in al- most every career. Northwest increased the preparation for computers with the addition of specialized classes like com- puterized accounting and data processing. Students began working during high school unlike their parents' generation when high school students rarely worked during the school year. Students had many reasons for working. They saved money for college, for a car, or for miscellaneous expenses. For seniors, the future seemed close-maybe too close. The realization that they would be leaving home came suddenly as the number of school days dwindled. The majority of Northwest students planned to go to college. Some set their sights on the Ivy League and some chose to stay close to home. But they all had to go through the frustration of tedious applications and the anticipation of acceptance letters. The one event that all seniors were counting the days to was graduation. lt symbolized the end of a lot of hard work and the beginning of a new life. lt was in high school that students be- gan to separate from large groups and became individuals. They spent much of high school living the present but pre- paring for the future. It was time to go your own way. fby Melanie O'Neall Future 217 design by Melanie O'Neal At the Johnson County Library, Kathy Lowery assists Carol Koralewski in findin 9 information through the magazine index. lphoto by Laura Coltonl Students find that working can be enjoyable as well as profitable obs ean money to spend Stepping into a bear suit, Julie Moore suddenly took on a new exis- tence and became Billy Bob, who en- tertained kiddies at Showbiz Pizza Place. At the same time, Anneliese Simmons stocked new merchandise on the shelves at the J.C. Penney Outlet, and Kristi Agnitsch seated a hungry couple at Pippin's Restaurant. These students shared a common interest with many other Northwest students: working. A yearbook survey of Northwest stu- dents showed that having a job and earning money was important to many students. They saved for college or spent their money on clothes, food, cars, stereos, and albums. Most stu- dents liked where they worked and enjoyed their jobs. Since money was the most important factor in a job, most of the students' jobs were not related to the careers they planned to pursue. Many had the usual jobs at clothing stores, depart- ment stores, fast food joints, grocery stores, and movie theatres. Some had 9559 CONSORTIUM ALLOWS STUDENTS to receive credit for their part-time jobs.

Describing his work, he said, Well, I check up on the peo- ple ringing the bells, and I pick them up and take them back to headquar- ters. However, hobbies and interests sometimes led to jobs and careers. Todd Turner, who enjoyed hunting, stuffed the animals he killed and sold them to individuals. He planned on go- ing into an animal-related career. Colleen Harrison had played the clarinet for six years. Starting in January, she gave clarinet lessons to beginning students. She said, I'm interested in music, and I like teaching. I'd like to major in music in college. Finding a job didn't seem to be a problem for students. They could get help from friends or from the Jobs Board. Located in the Career Center, the Jobs Board listed local merchants who had openings at their businesses. If there was a job not listed, a student could ask the secretary in the Career Center about it, and she could check to see if that area had an opening. Bill Miller, Career Center counselor, said there were more jobs available than in previous years. Students often had conflicts between work and play, or between work and school. Not being able to go out with friends disgusted many students, as did not having the time to do homework or having to work late on school nights, However, they were glad to be earning the money. Shanon Lawrence, who worked at Dolgin's, came to school bleary-eyed some days from working late, but she said, I work because l like to have money any time I want to do some- thing. I love having money in the bank, and I also like being able to spend it. tby Anne Jonesl SELECTING THE CORRECT color, Lisa Hefner shows a little boy how to use a magic marker without getting ink on his hands at her job at a day care Celltehlphoto by Jeff Jenkinsl C I th y ding idex. heck Bill said in in veen and with 5 did 'k or ghts. ming cl at eyed : she have ome- Jank, it ,Y Lisa use a in his Ldphoto muh ,alarms-.,, Qggaif' 150' id, v it Working can be risky business Pointing a gun at the boy's head, the man told him to get all the money out of the cash register.

It was only Sean's fourth night on the job. Sean was behind the counter when a man came in, looking around suspi- ciously. He had a gun. Then the man jumped over the counter and opened the side door for another man who was masked. Sean said, There were four of them-two guys and two guns. They pointed their guns at us and said to get down on the floor. One put a gun to my head and told me to get the money from the cash register. Sean got the money and turned on the silent alarm. Getting all the money together, the men put Sean and his co-workers in the walk-in freezer and closed the door. Since it didn't lock, the men told them to stay there, and then they left. A couple of minutes passed before Sean heard someone say, Hello? A customer had come in, and thinking it was safe, the three employees came out of the freezer. The police showed up soon after- ward. They asked a lot of questions, and showed Sean and a co-worker, separately, mug shots. Both of them identified the same man. About ten minutes later, while the police were still there, the phone rang. When Sean answered the phone, someone said, You dudes are dead! Sean, realizing that the men had been watching the restaurant, said, I really got scared and nervous. The police, however, said not to worry about it. Taco Bell closed early, and Sean went home. Although he wasn't alone, he said, I turned on lights all over the house. Four days afterward, Sean said he would still work at Taco Bell-until he found another job. However, he ad- mitted he was a little leery about going back.

College selection 221 Computers enhance students igh-tech future Just as televisions were the hot items of the fifties, computers were hot items of the eighties. Prices dropped, and it became easier to use them. Moreover, the number of things to do with them increased. Classes to learn programming and data processing filled, as society more and more based its future around computer know-how. Enrollment in computer classes in- creased, and for good reason. So many areas of life revolved around the use of the computer, and job opportunities for computer knowledge grew. More and more students engaged in more and more areas of computer science. So many of my friends have com- puters, and it seems like everyone's thinking about getting one, comment- ed Mike Lichtenaur. Teachers advised students to take at least one computer science class, and educators considered requiring half a year of computer science for graduation. Knowledge of computers and their workings is going to be so essential. I advise students to be safe and learn about them now, so they won't be caught later without it, said Mrs. Jantsch. Use of computers by teachers also increased. Teachers printed tests on computers, planned their class sched- ules, graded quizzes, and figured grades. The school had computers for teachers to use, and a check out list was always filled. Home computer use grew as prices dropped and use became easier. Stu- dents used computers to correct English themes, practice physics prob- lems, play video games, study for stan- dardized tests, and dabble with colorful graphics. You can do so many things with them, and the possibilities are limitless. It's as easy as pushing a button It's really cool! remarked Julie Lander. Northwest offered a variety of com- puter classes. Introduction to comput- ers, data processing, computerized accounting, programming, Basic I and Basic II, and a new course, PASCAL, all attracted students. As businesses all over worked deliveries, figured mortgages, managed budgets, and monitored stock markets, students flirted with graphics, typed homework essays, and mastered math problems on computers.

Stu- dents interested in engineering enrolled in science classes. For those intrigued with the political world, history and government classes remained popular. For students interested in business, Northwest offered a wide variety of classes to select from, and state-of-the- art equipment to master their skills on. Business classes were more popular than ever. Also, accounting, data processing, and typing classes remained in demand. Office education, offered for juniors, emphasized office management, word processing, and sec- retarial skills. As a senior, a student could enroll in office education ll. This class offered work consortium for part ,mimi if ff as usual X A , V, f WW? of the day, serving as a way to receive two hours of credit. The popularity of business remained high because of its many possibilities. Those majoring in business after high school could look forward to many opportunities. Business majors can venture down many career avenues, remarked Mrs. Kennedy. Furthermore, classes such as speed writing and marketing and retailing also specialized in business. In the market- ing and retailing classes, students learned to work retail, to set up dis- plays, and to choose products. The speed writing class taught short hand skills. Unlike other districts in the area, Northwest had only up-to-date business machines. The computer classes used Apple computers, and the office educa, tion classes practiced skills on the new IBM Display Writer. Moreover, the typ. ing classes learned keyboard talents with all electric typewriters, as the school received two new word processors for future years. Certainly, business futures seemed bright. Popular classes, unlimited opportunities, and state-of-the-art busi. ness equipment helped strengthen the school's business classes. lby David Byrdl ACCOUNTING OFFERS students the chance to learn bookkeeping skills.

Counselors and career center guide students through high school to future helping hand They helped students change their schedules, talked to students about their personal problems, assisted students with post-high school plans, and helped with college and career problems. They were Northwest's counselors, helping students in a variety of ways. In the main office there were five counselors. They specialized in certain areas: Bob Scheele, college representa- tives and scholarships, Jim Andra, test coordinating, Nathan Meigs, careers and vocations, and, Pat Carville, school psy- chologist. Ben McGuire was head coun- selor. Although the counselors were the most knowledgeable about their areas, they could help students with problems in any area. Mr. Meigs was new to Northwest in the 1984-85 year. He had been a coun- selor at Hocker Grove Junior High School.

Junior high students are concerned about personal problems and grades. Mr. Bill Miller, Career Center counsel- or, assisted students in choosing their careers. He worked with them on a com- puter which had stored information on 1025 careers, and told which colleges had which majors. He discussed stu- dents' interests and achievements. Mr. Miller said, I used to teach a two-week mini-course to sophomores, but now I have individual conferences with them instead. Sometimes these individual conferences generated enough interest so that students came back to the Ca- reer Center their junior and senior years to get more help. Northwest's counselors provided direc- tion and guidance for students' years in high school and their years after high school.

They made and sold products, kept the books, and reaped the profits. During the Tuesday night meetings at Hooker Grove Junior High and Wednes- day night meetings at Broadmoor Junior High from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m., Northwest Students met with students from other SCl'10ols to plan the course of their businesses. They also worked on aSS2mbling the products. Members earned forty cents per hour, and ten percent commission on the pro- ducts they sold. The officers and presi- dent of the company earned 31.25 and 31.50 per night, respectively. Some of the products they sold were desk sets, lamps, first aid kits, birdhouses, trouble lights, and Christmas ornaments. The companies paid for the raw materials with stocks sold by the members for capital, and assembled the products. According to Christine Fangman, J.A. fJunior Achievementl was lots of fun. You meet a lot of new people, said Christine, and being the president is fun because you make sure everything is all right. I can relate to J.A. because colleges really think it's gnarly, said Andy Johnson. Doug Finney glowingly reported, It's a wonderful learning experience. Besides the monetary gain and the re- warding experience, there was an awards banquet honoring the partici- pants.

This statement applied to all the industrial arts classes, which students took to develop skills for hobbies, practical aspects, or careers. In wood technology, students learned wood fabrication and construction, joinery, and finishing. They also learned how to operate wood-working machinery and how to safely use the machines and tools. Wood tech teacher Mr. Robert Moore said, It provides a good knowl- edge of woodworking machinery and hand tools. Students will have a very good background in wood construction, and will be able to repair and build things in their own home. Mr. Wes Valliere taught metal tech- nology in which students worked with hot metals and cold metals. They made castings, welded, drillled, and cut differ- ent types of metal with power tools. Because of high school experience, students could go on and get jobs in sheet metal, air conditioning, body, and machine shops. There were two drafting classes- be- ginning mechanical drawing and architectural drafting. In beginning mechanical drawing, students learned skills for drafting. They also learned about Computer Assisted Drafting, plot- ting and making simple drawings on the computer. Mr. Ron Wray, who taught both classes, said there was a demand for those with knowledge of CAD. Students in architectural drafting learned the principles of design and historical aspects of architecture. They spent a few weeks outside surveying, and also planned the house they would like to live in. They made a materials es- timate, made a complete rendering of the house, and constructed a scale mod- el of the framing of the house.

Students obtained a basic understanding of the car and its systems, learned preventive mainte- nance, and car consumerism, as in buying a car and buying car insurance. In Auto Tech II and III, students went on to do mechanical work on cars, such as brake jobs and engine overhauls. With this knowledge, they could work on their own cars or go into the auto field. Some of these classes acquired new tools and machines. There were a new sander and grinder in metal tech. Mr. Provost said, The administration is be- ing cooperative and providing upgraded equipment, so that the machines used in class are the same ones used in the real world. New industrial classes were in the making. The administration was consid- ering putting advanced machine drafting and home and auto maintenance into the curriculum. As Northwest's enrollment decreased, enrollment in most of the industrial arts classes decreased. These classes were popular several years ago. The present trend was computers, but Mr. Moore be- lieved that a cycle would bring industry back.

That word, graduation, loomed foremost in all seniors' thoughts. Graduation meant the end of a familiar style of life for most seniors. Many would move away from home and leave their families and friends for distant campuses. The process leading to the graduation ceremony for seniors started early in the summer when the date was set by the district. Graduation was scheduled to take place in the North District Stadium on May 21. Then, in mid-December, seniors were measured for caps and gowns. During this time, tassels were sold, and most seniors bought an extra one to grace their car. In January, Herff-Jones came to Northwest to take announcement orders. The design and company had been cho- sen by the Senior Committee. The com- mittee consisted of David Byrd, Melanie O'Neal, Laurie Richardson, Scott Engelland, David l-leitmeyer, Pam James, Doyle Haverfield, and Sandy Willauer. Seniors who bought announcements sent them to relatives and friends to announce their upcoming graduation and to prompt graduation presents. ln spring, the Senior Committee and the sponsors, Miss Roxy Yowell and Mrs. Beverly Nichols put together an in- formation newsletter and sent it out to the seniors. They advertised for graduation speakers and chose the best speeches. Tickets for Grad Night at Worlds of Fun were made available through the committee.

Senior Skip Day was designed to ward off senioritis and put the seniors into remission from school for a few days. Although juniors and sophomores were allowed to go to Prom, it was extra special for seniors because it was their last opportunity to go. Many girls waited hopefully for guys to ask them to Prom. Although it was not considered taboo for a girl to ask a guy, most girls were too shy. Prom meant dressing up, and many girls bought or made their dresses months before in anticipation of that MANY SENIORS get graduation presents, but few are lucky enough to get a car.

As for the boys, they rented tuxedos and arranged most of the details to insure a perfect night. All of these events led up to the capstone-graduation. After twelve years of schooling, it was time to go on to greater things: a full-time job, the armed services, or for most, college fmore schooling-but better partiesi. The last few months until graduation seemed to last forever, but it soon was time for each senior to receive a diploma in front of an audience of proud parents and relatives, and friends. fby Jenny Tsengi AS DREW BURGET gets his head measured for his cap, Pam James and Susan Pollard record the measurements. iphoto by Darin Pritchettl f Zh MM!

Every presidential election became big news from the beginning of the cam- Pdign. But in 1984, the election was not only big news, but the story of the year. Kansas City got caught up in the Na- tional election craze by hosting the sec- ond Presidential Debate. This was the first meeting of Reagan and Mondale Since the first debate in Philadelphia. Weeks before the debate, editors ff0m both the Lair and Passage attend- ed 6 press conference held by the flCbate's sponsor, The League of Wom- en Voters. Co-editors of the Lair, David Byrd and Melanie O'Neal, along with Greg Knipp, editor of the Passage, at- iended the question and answer period. But Student involvement in the election PY0Cess continued. Many students went to rallies in support of President Reagan where they painted Signs for their candidate. Some students also worked as volunteers on lo- cal campaigns such as U.S. Representa- tive Jan Meyer's campaign. Just days before the debate, national attention began to focus on Kansas City as the media began predicting the de- bate strategies and the outcome. The national spotlight sparked city- wide demonstrations the day of the de- bate. Almost every cause found its way out on to the Kansas City streets to pick- et. With very limited seating in the Music Hall, very few Kansas citizens were allowed to see the debate. But big- screen televisions were set up at the Fol- ly Theatre, and for an admission price, the general public could watch the ac- tion. The end of the debate led to specula- tion as to the winner of the crucial face- off. The nearness of the debate to the actual election increased interest. Most experts found that President Reagan, while not the clear winner, gained the greatest advantage from the debate by showing that he was still healthy and capable. Students did not necessarily involve themselves directly in the election, but they all had their opinions. At North- west, those opinions were all alike. They overwhelmingly threw their support be- hind President Reagan's re-election. In a pre-election poll in the Passage, 100070 of Northwest students asked said that they thought President Reagan would be re-elected. The events of 1984 and 1985 would be overshadowed by the election. Kan- sas City and Northwest became a part of it, as teachers and students became involved in campaign activities. fby Melanie O'Neali A Look Back 241 design by Bretton Zmger lnaugurational parade cancelled President Ronald Reagan took the oath of office for his second term on January 20, 1985. This came after the biggest electoral vote victory in history over Democratic candidate Walter Mondale. According to White House Chief of Staff James A. Baker Ill, the inaugural address would have an overall theme of American Renewal. Although President Reagan was optimistic about his second term, he had no choice but to cancel the inaugu- ral parade because of freezing tem- peratures. Participants in the parade, who had come from all 50 states at their own expense, received a personal visit and a thank you from the president, a small consolation for all the hours of work that went into preparation for the event. Many of the 140,000 ticket holders were also let down because the indoor ceremony was restricted to a few hundred people, although they received full refunds. fby Bretton Zingerl Students participate in election I voted, I actually voted for a presi- dent! said Mark Johnson, who, along with other students, had his first experience in politics in 1984. Many of those not only voted, but helped the candidate they supported. Some went to the Crown Center parking garage and painted banners supporting the campaign of President Reagan and watched his rally in per- son. Those who participated were invited to watch the Presidential De- bate on large screen television. Other students helped with the cam- paign of Jan Meyers, who was running for election to the House of Represen- tatives. They would stuff thank you letters for contributors, count funds, send letters just to name a few of the tasks they performed. Although the volunteers worked four to five hours every week, senior Laurie Richardson remarked, lt was a lot of fun. Many of these students might not have realized it, but without their help and the help of volunteers like them, the candidates would not have had any hope of victory. tby Bretton Zingerl STUDENTS GET INVOLVED in the elec- tion.

In every region and in every age group, the message was clear, Four more years. The statistics showed Ronald Reagan winning 5996 of the popular vote and a record 525 electoral votes, sweeping every state except the District of Co- lumbia and Walter Mondale's loyal Min- nesota. Elderly voters gave 61 percent of their votes to the president. Women backed Reagan by a margin of ten percentage points. And 59 percent of voters under 25 chose the oldest presi- dent in U.S. history. By election day, the campaign had lasted at least two years. At the Democratic Convention in July, 1984, Walter Mondale had finally defeated Gary Hart and Jesse Jackson to claim the party's nomination. The Democrats made history that week as they nomi- nated the first woman vice-presidential candidate from a major party, Repre- sentative Geraldine Ferraro from New York. As the Republicans gathered in Dal- las a few weeks later, President PRESIDENT REAGAN and Vice President Bush, running for their second term, respond to applause. fphoto by Awwiae wana Photosl The Democratic Party saw a radical new development during the 1984 campaign. Geraldine Ferraro, a lawyer and Congresswoman from New York, was chosen as the Democrats' candi- date for Vice President. From the time Presidential candidate Walter Mondale announced his decision, controversy and excitement surrounded Ferraro. The first woman ever nominated for Vice President by one of the two major parties, Ferraro was criticized by many. Others questioned her nomination, claiming that Mondale was simply trying to satisfy the demands of the National Organization of Women and making a special appeal to women voters. The nomination might not have been FIRST WOMAN Vice Presidential candi- date Geraldine Ferraro celebrates her victory at the Democratic National con- ventign, lphoto by APfwide World Photosl second term Reagan's nomination was virtually undisputed. The Republican Convention became an early celebration of Reagan's re-election. As the polls indicated increasing support for Reagan, the Mondale cam- paign directed its strategy toward the presidential debates. A distinct victory over Reagan in the debates could swing the popular vote to Mondale's side. The first debate showed superior preparation on Mondale's part. Al- though press and public agreed that Mondale won the debate, Reagan maintained a strong lead in the polls. Mondale was equally prepared in the second confrontation, held in Kansas City, but Reagan also demonstrated the preparedness he lacked in- the past de- bate. Highlighting the event was Reaganis witty retort to a question about his age-that he would not hold Mondale's youth and inexperience against him. President Reagan's much improved performance in the second debate seemed to assure his re-election. The question was no longer who would win but rather by what margin Reagan would win. fby Matt Cooley and Darren Dupriestl First woman VP candidate in history so attractive to Ferraro if she had known in advance the problems it would cause her family. Unproved allegations of Mafia connections and intense scrutiny of her husband's financial affairs plagued the family. Eventually her husband, John Zaccaro, a New York real estate develop- er, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of fraud. Despite her failure to give the Demo- crats the margin they needed to win the election, Ferraro's efforts were thought to have established a basis for other women to seek political offices traditionally re- served for men. lby Matt Cooleyl Electron 243 design by Bretton Zrnger min zm 244 Olympics U.S. teams compete well at Los Angeles and receive medals for their efforts Mary Lou Retton, at the ripe age of 16, became known throughout the world as best all-around female gymnast. Her hopes of achieving the Olympic gold looked slim though. She trailed Romania's top gymnast, Ecaterina Szabo by 0.15 of a point, go- ing into the second-to-last round. Szabo scored 9.90 on her round, and Retton scored 10's on her floor exercise, putting her behind by 0.05 of a point going into the final round of competi- tion. Szabo scored 9.90 on her uneven bars routine. Retton had to get 9.95 to tie for the gold, and 10's in order to win. Retton's vault scored perfect, and the gold was hers. Top gymnasts such as Retton, Julianne McNamara, and Pam Bileck helped the team take the silver medal, finishing behind Szabo's team, Romania.

Each American who wanted to run in the torch relay donated S3000 per kilometer. The proceeds of the event were given to charitable organizations. Following a route of 15,000 kilometers from New York City to Los Angeles, the relay covered 33 states including Kansas. The route included 63rd Street in Shawnee, only a few blocks from Northwest.

Olympics spotlight key personalities Throughout the Olympic games dif- ferent people played key roles or re- ceived much of the media attention. As in every event, some personalities re- mained in the spotlight long after it was over. One of the many U.S. athletes that was expected to win top honors was Carl Lewis. On the track, he was known worldwide for his speed, and at the Olympics, he won gold medals in the 100 meter and 200 meter races. He was also a member of the gold medal-winning 400 meter relay team. Lewis also competed in field events winning his fourth gold medal in the long jump. Edwin Moses won a gold medal in the 400 meter hurdles. Moses had al- ways been a well-respected athlete and member of society. He was known for his charity work and commitment to his sport. Sports Illustrated named him Sportsman of the Year. In January of 1985, Moses learned what negative attention was like. He was arrested for solicitation, but he did not admit any wrong doing. lby Melanie O'Neall GRABBING THE BATON, Carl Lewis runs his leg in the 400 meter relay.

Much of the credit for the Games can be attributed to the president of the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee, Peter V. Uberroth. Uberroth was the first to bring a profit to the city that hosted the Olympic Games. He received the honor of Time Man of the Year for 1984, and later became Major League Baseball's commissioner. Thirty-two years before these games, L05 Angeles hosted the Olympics. The nation was in turmoil over the Depression. Many athletes traveled to Los Angeles with only a few dollars. But many good things came from these Games. There was the first athletes' village, the first victory stand, a brand new stadium and pool, and the first photo-finish cameras. The largest television audience in history viewed the 1984 Olympics. Approximately two million people viewed 7,000 competitors from 140 countries, both also record numbers. The pullout by the Soviet Union and its allies was also a concern to many of the athletes. Some wondered whether they would have received the gold medal if all the countries, were present. Sports such as women's bas- ketball and water polo suffered greatly because the U.S.S.R. was predicted to win in these events. The boycott still didn't keep some of the athletes from showing their extraordinary talent. Athletes such as Greg Louganis, Carl Lewis, Edwin Mo- ses, and Michael Gross were over- whelming favorites, but still gave out- standing performances. There were upsets too, such as Mary Lou Retton, the U.S. men's gymnastics team, and Mitch Gaylord. lby Bretton Zingerl Olympics 245 I Countries provide aid for starving in Africa After years of starvation in Ethiopia and many other African nations, minor emergency relief arrived. In Ethiopia, ten years of civil war and drought brought one of the worst human disasters in history. Nearly half of Ethiopia's population, and over 150 million people in Africa, were malnour- ished and were threatened by starvation. Requests for aid had continued for two years until a short, ten-minute film was broadcast in Britain. Governments and organizations immediately sent food and financial aid. West Germany donated six million dollars, Italy built a hospital in Mekele Province, and Canada and Australia sent thousands ot tons A of grain. ,The United States contributed over 98 million dollars, and planned to send 85,000 tons of food. Much to the disapproval of U.S. citi- zens, the government stopped a plan to send 75 million dollars for develop- ment because the Administration insist- ed that money only be sent to non-so- cialist governments. Medical attention was also scarce, A small shed, called the Intensive Feeding Center, restricted care to those chil' dren who were seventy percent below normal weight.

In 1985, it seemed to have cooled down, but since it was so close to the United States, political events there became a big concern and led to conflicts. The United States still maintained its partial involvement by sending aid to El Salvador. This aid consisted of mil- lions of dollars for economic relief and military advisors to aid the armies. The main concern of the United States was the Communist threat that had begun to spread throughout the area, especially in Nicaragua. The threat became even more real in the fall of 1984 when it was be- lieved that Soviet ships carrying war planes were sent to Nicaragua. However, this threat died when it was later learned that the ships had carried no military items. One positive thing did occur in Central America. El Salvador held its first free election in over fifty years. This helped to make the hand of democracy more apparent. lby Melanie O'Neall EL SALVADOR HAS its first free election in over fifty years. tphoto by Apfwide worm Geneva talks are important first step The two major superpowers in the world had discussed nuclear arms control off and on for fifteen years. Al- though some agreements had been Signed, often the talks would end be- fore they even began or would come YO an abrupt half when either the Unit- ed States or the Soviet Union walked out. ln November of 1984, an announce- ment was made that Secretary of State GQOYQG Schultz and Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko would meet in Gene- va in January. When the meeting was announced, the negotiations that were planned in- cluded the whole range of nuclear and space weapons. This allowed the U.S. to discuss both offensive and defensive weapons which the Soviets had refused to discuss in the past. This statement also ignored the Soviet contention that the U.S. must remove its NATO missiles from Europe before talks could be resumed. After the Geneva talks ended, the actual benefits were unknown. It did, however, make perfectly clear that new peace talks were underway. Many things had been discussed and no walkouts or stalemates occurred. For the first time, the United States Photos! in arms control and the Soviet Union discussed a wide variety of high tech weapons which in- cluded such untouchables as antiballistic missiles and antisatellite weapons. And once again, discussions began on the balance of offensive and defensive weapons. The Geneva talks were definitely seen as a step forward, and the White House was quick to point out that President Reagan himself shaped the negotiating strategies of the talks. But the long road ahead for arms control was not ignored. fby Melanie O'Neall World 247 design by Bretton Zinger 248 Nation CITIZENS TAKING THE LAW into their own hands becomes a controversial subject ln lCopyright, 1985, Universal Press Syndicate. Reprinted with permission. All rights reservedj igilante appeals to nation On December 22, 1984, an incident occurred that was bizarrely movielike in nature. When traveling on a lower Manhattan subway, an unidentified man was accosted by four black teen- agers. They asked him if he had five dollars to loan them. In reply, he said that he had five dollars for each of them, and the pulled out on unlicensed .38 caliber gun. He shot five bullets wounding all of the youths, two were shot in the back when they attempted to run away. The man promptly left the scene at the next stop. When asked about the incident, most of the passengers on the subway ap- plauded the man's actions and refused to cooperate with the police in identify- ing the man. Later on, the vigilante surrendered himself to the police. His only comment was that it had to be done. The man was identified as Bernhard Hugo Goetz, a 37 year old electronics expert. Goetz spent six days in jail and was released on a 550,000 bail. Reflecting the attitude of Goetz's fel- low passengers, passions favoring his actions ran high nationwide. In New York, Thugbuster T-shirts were sold to raise money for him. Celebrities and other citizens telegrammed congratula- tions for his nerve. Collections were circulated on the subways by the Guardian Angels to help Goetz post bail, but he made bail with his own money. The enthusiasm this modern day hero received reflected the frustra- tion this nation felt for the justice sys- tem. All four victims had a history of run-ins with the law, some with con- victions, but they were still on the streets when they asked the fateful question, Do you have five dollars?

The statue was to undergo structural repairs of its raised right arm, the iron ribbing that supports the copper covering, and renovation of the spiral staircase to Miss Liberty's crown. The statue would also receive a new glass elevator from the ground to the f0p of the pedstal and a new gold-plat- ed torch. This reconstruction was expected to cost almost 30 million dollars, nearly ,forty times the amount spent in build- lng the statue in the 1880's.

With a second-term president, most people expected very few changes in government. But Ronald Reagan had many changes in his cabinet to start out his new term. Key members of his staff, termed the Big Four, were expected to be closest to Reagan. They were chief of staff Donald Regan, Treasury Secretary James Baker, Secretary of State George Schultz, and Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger. Probably the biggest change in Reagan's staff was known as The Great Job Swap. James Baker and Donald Regan traded places within the administration. Regan was expected to alleviate some of the internal feuding as chief of staff, and Baker seemed to have a good chance of getting Reagan's tax plan approved by Con- gress. Another major change was the President's nomination of Edwin Meese as attorney general. His nomination was expected to be one of the few contested by the Senate. Many key Senators questioned his character. Other moves within the cabinet in- cluded Energy Secretary Donald Hodel replacing the retiring William Clark in the Interior Department. John Herrington replaced Hodel at Energy, and William Bennett succeeded Educa- tion Secretary Terrel Bell. Members of Reagan's cabinet who did not intend to stay for his second term included Michael Deaver, Reagan's Himagemakerf' who left for a public relations job in the business world. David Stockman was only ex- pected to stay through the budget cy- cle. Labor Secretary Raymond Donovan was on a leave of absence due to his trial for fraud. With Reagan's second term, he con- tinued to make changes in personnel in order to improve his policies. As many presidents do, Reagan surrounded himself with a staff that shared his views. fby Melanie O'Neall Nation 249 design by Bretton Zinger Science Heart transplants performed frequently Organ transplants were performed with increasing frequency. All kinds of transplants, from a simple skin transplant to the most difficult, that of the lung, had been attempted. No transplant, however, was more spectac- ular than the heart transplants. There wer even variations to the basic heart transplant. In California's Loma Linda University Medical Center, a zenograft, transplanting an animal lin this case a baboonl organ into a human, was per- formed. This event made national news and catapulted Baby Fae to fame. Unfortunately, she did not survive for long. The second artificial heart transplant was performed by Dr. William De Vries early in December. The patient, William J. Schroeder, 52, was implanted with the Jarvik-7 artificial heart at Humana Hospital Audubon in Louisville, Ken- tucky. Heart transplants were performed more frequently at the University of Kansas Medical Center, too. By early 1985 six such transplants had been performed at KU. One of the six trans- plants patients was a three year old boy. One of the reasons for the increase in transplantations was a relatively new drug, cyclosporine-A. It was a powerful immunosuppressant, and this was the drug that helped transplant patients to not reject the foreign organ. iby Jenny Tsengl NUCLEAR WEAPONS were considered a part of life in the l980's. Many cartoonists commented on their use and existence. fCopyright, 1985, United Press Syndicate. Reprinted with permission. All raging reserved.J 'I'l'll FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON J wi B r Toll' bf!

For the first time, a man walked in space without being attached to the spacecraft. During an eight day mission in the Space Shuttle Challenger, specialist Bruce McCandless made his- tory when he was the first to use the self-controlled manned maneuvering unit. Also in 1984, NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, iii Silva wives launched a shuttle for a secret mission. NASA would not reveal any information whatsoever about the mission, but they did say that there would be more of these confidential space missions in the future.

Star Wars plan becomes new U.S. strategy Star Wars, President Reagan's proposal for a spaced-based strategic defense, suggested an effective military safeguard for the United States and its allies. Reagan's strategy was meant to boost support in Congress for a S2 tril- lion, five-year military build-up that would involve the development of such technology as satellite-based lasers that would effectively disengage enemy nuclear warheads en route. Many Americans felt that Reagan's plan provided a defense that was more tangible and ethical than the current nuclear build-up, meant as a deterrent for any martial confrontation between the superpowers. Opponents of the President's propos- al argued that it was in violation of the REAGAN'S PROPOSAL FOR DEFENSE, termed Star Wars, was continually criticized on its workability. tCopyright, 1984.

They also stated that this plan would no longer provide a sub- stantial bargaining tool for nuclear dis- armament. Reagan's suggestion of sharing this technology, once developed, with the So- viets also aroused controversy. ln offer- ing this porposition, Reagan asserted that it would deter any attack from the So viets prior to the complete deployment of the system and strengthen peace rela- tions between the two superpowers. Fearing the compromise of America's scientific superiority, opponents rallied against releasing any such knowledge to the Soviets. President Reagan's plan possibly would provide a means for bargaining with the Soviet Union and an effective defense. Yet Congress was not very willing to supply the financial demands of the system. lby Matt Cooleyl Science 251 . --- ..,. 1. i l r F 5 1 E 1 I I V' I K fl , .

Michael Jackson held the opening night of his Victory tour with the rest of the Jacksons at Arrowhead stadium in Kansas City. The opening brought much attention and revenue to the area. The Victory Tour received media at- tention not only for its spectacular stage production but for its overall or- ganization. The S3O a seat concert tickets and the mail-in system for re- ceiving them were criticized. Prince became a huge success due to his movie Purple Rain that fea- tured many hit songs. Tina Turner made a startling come- back with the solo album, Private Dancer. She had gotten out of the music business and came back a bigger success than before. In 1985, the effects of Michael Jack- son's music on the nation became even more evident in memorabilia. The fam- ous glove, sunglasses, hairstyle, leather jacket, and ever famous dance moves were among them. lby Kim Meyerl MICHAEL AND THE REST of the Jacksons kicked off their Victory Tour in July at Arrowhead stadium. lphoto by APlWide World Photos!

San Francisco's superathlete Joe Montana powered his 49ers to the Super Bowl champions over the Miami Dolphins. Montana practically ran the game by setting a Super Bowl record 331 yard passing. He completed 24 of 35 passes, three of them for touchdowns, and he scram- bled for 59 yards and one touchdown. He earned the MVP title. Miami quarterback Dan Marino also set records in passes, 50, and comple- tions, 29 for 318 yards and one touchdown. But he also threw two interceptions and was sacked four times which seemed to be the difference in the game. Two major rushing records were broken in 1984. Walter Payton broke Jim Brown's long standing career rushing record. Eric Dickerson broke O.J. Simpson's single season rushing record of 2003 yards, which had stood since 1973. During a game against the Houston Oilers, Dickerson needed 212 yards to break the record. He got 215 and 2007 yards for the season. The champion of college football in 1985 was Brigham Young University. Although they did have the best record, it was very controversial because many people thought that BYU didn't play enough competitive teams. Doug Flutie, the quarterback for Boston College, became the first 10,000-yard passer in college history, and he also won the Heisman Trophy. Probably the biggest play of his college career came against defending champi- on Miami. With six seconds left on the clock, Flutie took the snap on his own 50, backpedalled to his 40, and launched a pass that covered a total of 64 yards for a touchdown to teammate Mark Phelan. What was being referred to as The Pass gave Boston College a 47-45 victory. Flutie was also known for his intelli- gence. At Boston College, he was nomi- nated for the Rhodes Scholarship. But he was smart enough to know that he could get a multi-million dollar contract with the USFL's New Jersey Generals. fby Bretton Zingerl 1 S 9 254 Sports ul -,.,..f .- if ,l ,......4? .. ,..-2 -,.. -- me ALL-TIME nusums record in the NFL was broken by Walter Payton of the Chicago Bears. qvimro by APfWide World Photvil 5 I' Nl!

W' Kansas City loses basketball franchise The Kansas City Kings moved to Sacramento in 1985 after twelve seasons of struggling teams and poor attendance. One major factor in their lack of Support could have been television cov- erage. The only coverage the Kings had was a new independent station, Channel 62. Poor attendance was also a contrib- Ufing factor in the Kings move. Al- though the Kings did have an average Of 13,000 people in their second-to-last Season, they only had around 7,500 in their final season. Other possible factors could be bad management, bad marketing, and lesser Quality team management. iby Bretton Zlhgerl Tigers dominate baseball from day one It was obviously the year of the Tiger--that is the Detroit Tiger. From the first game to the last of the 1984 season, the Detroit Tigers were on top of the heap in the American League East. They set a blistering pace winning 35 of their first 40 games. The National League West champion San Diego Padres, who had dedicated the 1984 season to their late owner Ray Kroc, defeated the National League East champion Chicago Cubs in the Championship series three games to two. The Cubs had won their first National League East pennant in 45 years. In the National League the Cubs dominated the individual awards.

Rick Sutcliffe received the Cy Young award. In 1984, the Kansas City Royals were again plagued by injuries. The Royals, however, finished the season, on top by edging out the Minnesota Twins and California Angels. The Royals' luck and strong offense did not hold though. They lost to Detroit in three games in the American League Championship Series. Royals' relief pitcher, Dan Quisenberry, won the Rolaids Relief Man again, and Willie Wilson, returning to the team, was named the Royals Man of the Year. The World Series of 1984 was no sur- prise. The Detroit Tigers, as they had every American League team, dominat- ed the San Diego Padres, and won the series in front of home town fans, four games to one. fby Darren Dupriestl Kansas City hosts skating championships The 1985 United States Figure Skating Championships were held in Kansas City at the Kemper Arena. For one week at the end of January, skaters from all over the nation com- peted for honors. Kansas City welcomed the skaters and other persons involved with the competition with many treats. For the first time in the history of the Plaza lighting tradition, the lights were turned on for one night at the beginning of the championships. Although most of the skaters had not arrived in Kansas City yet, most of the judges did enjoy the lights. For the skaters competing, this was a very important week. Most of the winners of the national championships have a good chance of becoming members of the 1988 U.S. Olympic Team. Tiffany Chin, who had a rough week of practice before the championships, still won the senior ladies title. The men competitors were Boitano who came in first in compulsory figures and both freestyle programs. Cockerell fin- ished second. Erin Sparks, a senior at Northwest, skated in the opening show at Nationals. I think the most difficult part of being there, at Kemper, was watching my best friend, Aren Nielson, better known as the 'Kansas City Kid', and watching the results of the other skaters, said Sparks. Nielsen, at age 16, became the first male skater from Kansas City to win a medal at the championships. iby Laura Davisl ord in the 5 yton of the nrld Photos, F Sports 255 design by Bretton Zmger Kansas City Splrlt Festival features the patriotism and val the week of July 4th 1984.

Market Square, held in Washington Square, had Kansas citians dressed in period costumes and performing dances such as square dancing and clogging. Music groups also performed and artists demonstrated their crafts. The Kansas City Jazz section fea- tured Kansas City's musical heritage-Dixieland, Rhythm and Blues, Gospel, and Jazz-jam. The Present and Future area pro- vided entertainment for children. There were break dancers, a magician, and heritage of the city Other events during the week includ- ed a balloon fight a musical medley jazz pianist and a Vine Heritage Festi- val. Earlier in the week, the popular Folly Classic Vintage Grand Prix Car Race was run through the city. Even though it rained on July 4th, the Festival was a big success attracting about 225,000 people.

Lenexa Plaza on Quivira Road was just one of the many new such malls in the Johnson County area. Many of the businesses were locally owned and operated unlike the bustling chain stores at the big malls. The grand opening of the Lenexa Pla- za was held the first week in November, and the struggle began to let the public know of its existence. As Tony Citro of Fast Photo said, The customers would come in and ask when you got here. The scramble for publicity began, Thousands of dollars were spent on any- thing frorn flyers to an acl in a local year- book. Customers began to discover the shops one by one. In time each business began to have a flow of regular custom- ers. We beat the competition because our quality is better. said Mr. Citro of Fast Photo. The plaza held a variety of shops. ln midst of the, craze for a healthier generation of people, the 24 Hour Shape-Up Club moved in. Upon walking in, one could see instructors helping members use the many different kinds of exercise equipment. Not only did the club offer the latest in equipment to tone up with, but for a winter tan, one needn't go all the way to Florida-just up to 24 Hour Shape-Up Club. After tanning and toning, a customer might want a touch up on his hair. Again it wasn't far to go. A couple of doors away, stylists at Darrah's hair salon were busy at work giving their custom- ers the latest hair styles. Anyone with an appetite for some. thing a little out of the ordinary could step off the sidewalk into the patio atmosphere of Primo's Delicate. Primols menu offered anything from Italian sala- mi or a bagel with cream cheese to I-'laagen Dazs ice cream and one of the best salad bars around. The first National Bank had a small town feeling with its grandfather clock, small stripe printed wall paper and friendly faces. Another shop that warmed the heart was The Four Bears. Owner Sandy I-lurla said she got into the business after having collected the furry little guys ev- eryone affectionately called Teddy bears. To paraphrase the Teddy Bed! Catalog by Peggy and Alan Bialosky, 6 teddy bear was best described by the following. The ears, the most fraglle parts, were often misused as handles. The brain was only good for remember' ing good things, the nose and m0lllll were often worn away after serious cuddling and snuggling, and last of all . . . continued on page 264 'me Lenexa Pi.AzA on Quivira wil kicked off its existence the first week in Nll' vember, opening the doors to a vlllelll ol 810188. tphoto by Brian Adrianol ff'- 262 Business Ads N..

If one was looking for a little fuzzy critter, The Four Bears had all shades, sizes, and colors. The plaza also offered Northwest stu- dents after school jobs. Shamrock Office Supply was just one that employed Northwest students. There a customer could obtain the usual in office supplies along with the use of a copy machine. Shamrock was a family operated busi- ness. So while mini'plazas sprang up around the area, Lenexa Plaza took shape. Each new store developing a distinct character.

Well-trained doctors and dentists help students overcome their fears Grudgingly, he walked into the office, checked in with the receptionist and found a seat. He had tried to avoid thinking about it, but the day was upon him. The appprehension grew as he waited silently in the waiting room, flip- ping through the magazines that lay on the table. He had an appointment with the doctor, or was it a dental check-up? It didn't matter. It still had something to do with medicine. Why had he come? He had come for a variety of reasons over the past few years. He had been to the doctor with the flu, with a broken finger, for vaccina- tions, for school physicals and for many other reasons. Each time he had gotten sick, he contemplated whether he want- ., 'MM M V!,!,,!,.,, I ed to suffer and endure the pain or overcome that apprehension of seeing the doctor and receiving treatment for a fast and effective recovery. The latter always seemed more reasonable, but when it came to entrusting the welfare of his body to trained, licensed, qualified people, he was always a skeptic. Foolishnessl Many Northwest students had exper- ienced this nervous feeling when seeing the doctor at one time or another. It probably stemmed from the immuniza- tion shots they received when they were children. The pain of the shots was only childhood exaggeration. Shots didn't hurt that much and they were also protection against diseases students did not want to catch. Maybe it was the waiting, that Seem. ingly endless period spentreading maga. zines or twiddling thumbs while the doc, tor finished seeing other patients, that made the visit feel uncomfortable. The waiting was logical though. It only meant that the doctor took extra time with the patients. As he grew older, his fear of going to the doctor gradually decreased. Ten years of laborious study had to accoum for some excellently trained physicians, He was in good hands. After each visit he only wished that he were still young enough to have a lol- lipop from the doctor's office. fby Man Cooleyl 6 s t 625. tggilpritifj,irbatpbrfg DH. ROGER C.

Yum, gooey chocolate chip cookies. Food for many Northwest students was not part of substaining one's self, but a way of life. Eating was the center of many activities. If Northwest hadn't been a generation on the move, it cer- tainly would have been one on the spread. Many students claimed to be on a diet, yet anyone who went to the cookie aisle of a grocery store would find stu- dents buying bags of cookies to snarf in the privacy of their own homes. After all what better way to pass the time watching TV than with a bag of fa- vorite potato chips and a can of pop. Study time also required a bowl of handy munchies to drive away annoying hunger pangs that interrupted thought. Weekends were especially dangerous. After the basketball game, it was off to the nearest pizza shop for pizza with ex- tra cheese and sauce. Even going to the movies provided an excuse for dinner beforehand or Pippin's pie afterward. Lunch was the highpoint of the day for some as they decided on which food to eat for that day. Would it be McDonalds, Taco Via or should one take . . . continued on page 274 I V - ., , - --.......'

High school brought some of the happiest days-sharing good times with friends. While there were down times when the whole world seemed to be turned against us, it was the good times we chose to remember. Laughing with friends over inside jokes, going to the basketball game with a friend to watch the guy we had an endless crush on, even the most embar- rassing situations that we got caught in turned out to be some of the best memo- ries. Making it into that activity we worked so hard for was always exciting. Even though the work was hard, the rewards were many. When ad time came, some of the groups scrambled to come up with the theme that would best reflect the activity's character. Click-the moment was caught on film forever. The Lair tried to capture the memories journalistically and create personal memories in the StudentfActiv- ity Ads. fby Mary Horvatinl Advertising 275 design by Mary Horvatin . .- , , ,,,,,.,..

Even though taken for granted and often unappreciated, they too had to struggle through rough times as their students went through high school. At times my mom can be my best friend, s Jackie Brune said. Discouraged as they might have been by an embar- rassing mistake their parents had made, many students felt as Jackie did, that their parents could be a good friend, someone to whom they could relay their problems. Arguments about discipline were bound to happen and it sometimes ap- peared as theough parents did't want to listen because they thought they were right. I respect my parents even thought we don't always agree, said Mike Cormaci. They let me be independent, but if My M, ,Q 4,,4 Ve K, Congratulations, Stephanie from Jennifer, Bry an, Mom, and Dad.

She drives me to far away games and she's even helped me make up cheers. lf me and Jennifer are running late, she brings breakfast upstairs and hurries us along, said Stephanie Thomas. Parents like Stephanie's helped make the school and the year better. At the football games, there was a special section of the stands filled with fans huddled in blankets yelling support. They were not students, but a group of dedicated parents. These parents were members of the Booster Club, which supported all 23 of Northwest's athletic teams. When Northwest's teams ran out of the funds, they turned to Booster Club. To provide such support, they need- ed funds. They raised most of their money at the football games. Those program and button peddlers that bombarded the fans on the way to the stands were dedicated Booster Club parents. Membership dues helped raise money and patrons in the community displayed booster club stickers proudly in their store windows. Another strong force at Northwest was the Parent-Teacher-Student Associ- ation. They put in their long hours to organize events such as college night, teacher appreciation, and Prom. PTSA also sponsored committees for things such as legislation and the Drug and Alcohol Committee. PTSA was a link for the student, teacher, and adminis- tration. They met every second Tuesday of the month in the teacher's lounge. The thirty-six member board welcomed interested students, especial- ly the StuCo representative Ronnie Graham. The Cultural Arts Committee of the PTSA worked through the year to broaden the minds of Northwest stu- dents. One day students walked into 302 Helping Hands Proverbs 31:29 'X W 'll 'U' ICN .SJ 3 if WE LOVE YOU Mom and Dad lLisalore Ershicki the cafeteria to find mimes busy enter- taining. Performers from the annual Renais- sance Festival came to Northwest, and filled the mall with festivities. One Tuesday morning, students walking by the office were suprised to see a crowd of people observing artist Jim Hamill as he demonstrated his talent in watercolor. Mr. Hamill donated two of his water color paintings to the school. These events were only a few of the activities sponsored by the Cultural K thru 12. Congratu- lations Jill! We're very proud of you.

I've had students ask me if I didn't have something bet- ter to do with my afternoon, but I like knowing that the things I do to help the teachers, the librarians, and the students, said Mrs. Dupriest. So what was a parent? A supportive shoulder to lean on- They always support me in my activities, but they don 't force me. -Mike Lichtenauer, someone who reminded students of what's right, someone who worried about their kid- When I'm upset, my mom is upset. -Stephanie Thomas. Parents were also tired human beings who kept going in spite of everything, told students that they loved them and needed to be told they were loved. I love my parents-I have to, Ju- lie Lander said as she laughed. My parents know what I mean. That was probably the nicest thing. Parents knew what students meant. While students might grow out of friends and take new turns in life, one thing was con- stant-the love of parents. As Mike Lichtenauer said, I love my parents more than anything else in the world. . .J A i f Z., A' 'ffl , 7 . i l f ff 17 ,f f Mary, we are so proud of you.
