Students knew that Northwest was one of the top 143 schools in the country to be visited by the Secondary Schools Recogni- tion Program. Students and teachers believed the school would win further recognition. After Northwest found out they did not win the award, and teacher contract negotiations dragged on, the quality of the school and the Shawnee Mission District was brought into question. Teachers as well as administrators began leaving the praised Shawnee Mission District for Blue Valley. The Federal Bureau of Investigation be- gan a study of financial irregulari- ties in the district. Students and the community wondered if the school was as good as in past years. A North Central Evaluation team began a study of the overall quality of Northwest and the teachers' con- tract dispute finally came to an end. It began to be obvious that the school and the students did indeed measure up. Students measured up to standards set by the community as well as their own goals. Since approximate- ly 8029 of Northwest's graduating students went on to college, stu- dents began working harder for bet- . . . continued on page 7 tudents begin year of striving or success SIX OF NORTHWEST'S divi- sion coordinators answer ques- tions from the North Central evaluation team. tphoto by Ian jackson?

Some students took hard- er Advanced Placement courses hoping they would get college credit from the AP tests. A new fashion craze hit North- west. Students tried to be the first to wear a new type of outfit or have their hair done in a new manner. The sports teams began working during the summer to be more com- petitive. The weights program, fit- ness clubs, and jogging were popu- lar ways for athletes to prepare for the upcoming seasons. In academic competition, North- west strove to be the best. Debate, categories, and journalism were just a few that succeeded. The music de- partment also had outstanding per- formances. Students entered projects in the Science Fair. The hard work sometimes paid off. The gymnastics team placed first in the state competition. The March- ing Cougar Pride received straight one ratings in state competition held at the beginning of the school year. Six Northwest students were Na- tional Merit Semi-finalists. For whatever reason, Northwest and its students constantly tested themselves in an effort to measure up. orthwest starts year with high expectations up AT ONE of the home football games, the Cougar defense stands in the huddle receiving their next play. fphoto by Alex Bourdol DURING AN INTRODUC- TION to computers class, Mrs. jackson helps two of her stu- dents with a program. iphoto by jan Jackson! Opening 7 ' design by Bretton Zinger etting the standard orthwest's success causes high expectations V As the year began, everyone set goals they hoped to reach during the year. Many obtained these goals and set the standard for the rest to follow. The science students at North- west participated, as usual, in the Greater Kansas City Science Fair. After David Heitmeyer won nu- merous awards for his project on genes, many students set their sights on measuring up to his ac- complishments. Wendell Mohling, a science teacher at Northwest, was in competition for the NASA shuttle flight for the Teacher-in-Space program. Mohling was one of two teachers from Kansas to go to Washington to compete for the selection. Practice and more practice kept the music department going for the top. Practice took place dur- l SOPHOMORES OFTEN FIND that Northwest classes give more homework. Lee Mainster studies in the mall after school. fphoto by Mark Leffingwelll.

Many students took private lessons in order to better their standing in the group. As a result of hours of practice, the Marching Cougar Pride re- ceived straight one ratings dur- ing a state competition at Wichita early in the year. Four choir members, Molly Anderson, Christy Evans, Brian Lowe, and Melissa Sliffe were selected to the All-Metro Choir to sing at the Mayor's Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in late November. The drama department, under the leadership of Greg Parker, continued their tradition of attempting difficult plays, and achieving success. The fall play was a whodunnit thriller called Nightwatch, presented in-the- round, meaning the audience sat on stage. The winter play was Io- seph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, an offbeat type of musical. The spring play was the comedy A Midsummer's Night's Dream, keeping the tradition of presenting a Shakesperean play once every three years. The publications strove to keep up the standards set in previous years. The staffs struggled on weekend work sessions and sometimes all-nighters. Frustra- tion always came when deadlines were missed, or a picture that was going to be used was suddenly gone. The newspaper came through the hard times and won a first place Quill 8: Scroll award in international competition. Ieff Simmons also won first place at the national journalism workshop in Cleveland for editorial Cartooning. .. . continued on page 10 5520 ,J , Ng , o ,Z I , .4 1 A Q' If A I 1 1 If ,M I W 1 J . 1 1 r .5511 Q21 . 1, .LQ 4 Mv,5., v' 1 W , ., f M I , f , . .H L ' . .V 1.

Runners began training by jogging about 35 miles a week, and some went to special running centers. Swimmers found the best way to keep in shape was to be on a summer team. Some of the other teams, such as football and tennis, began organized practices before school started. Many athletes found shape-up and fitness clubs and Nautilus programs to be the best ways to prepare for the upcoming seasons. Big and baggy was the fashion. Many students were seen wearing trenchcoats and oversized shirts and pants.

The hairstyles were more radical than ever. Dyed hair became a common sight, and some had their hair shaved on one side and long on another. Popularity was an asset for any student. Everybody wanted to be in a group that always sat togeth- er at assemblies or in the lunchroom. The bench next to the stairs in the mall was constantly filled with students and belongings. Being without a large group of friends meant staying home on Friday and Sat- urday nights.

Many students wanted a car for plain speed, while others went in for looks and possibly low gas mileage. Courtney Craven said, I would buy a car that's cheap because I'm broke! That was a problem faced by many students. Darren Dupriest summed up another opinion by saying, It would have to be a stick shift. No automatics! The majority of the students had a job while in high school. Most just needed to make the monthly car payment. But there was always competition between students as to who had the highest paying job, or who had the one with the least amount of work for the money. I like places that pay a lot for easy work, but I'm willing to work for the money, said Scott McLeroy. Academically, students also strove for success. The five-point grading system was in its second year, and students used it to bet- ter their grade-point average and their college hopes. English and math classes worked to prepare students for standardized tests, . . . continued on page 15 twik- la s . 5 . .A Fr WELCOMING DEBATERS to Northwest, four StuCo members hang a banner in the mall.

Six Northwest students were recognized for their academic achievement on the PSAT! NMSQT. National Merit Scholar- ship semi finalists Travis Butler, Doug Finney, Andy Iohnson, Ia- son Lackey, Becky Romanchuck, and Ienny Tseng all placed in the top WZ: nationwide. High scores on these tests meant to students that they could be accepted to more competitive colleges and universities. Some of the greatest expecta- tions of students were set by fam- ilies and communities. Since approximately 80'Zv of Northwest students went on to college, the demands on students were made very hard. Most students were brought up with the idea that college was a mandatory part of education, because without it, there was no way to make mon- ey. If I didn't go to college, my parents would probably make me move out, said Debra Sissel. Although there were ways to make money without college, continuing an education helped a great deal in improving the chances of getting a well-paying job. Many parents offered money or material things as incentives if their child improved their grades or kept them at a certain level. Carrie Seltzer said she got money, but did only after a friend told her she should ask for it from her parents. As the year progressed, North- west students and organizations continually showed their ability and set high standards for them- selves. -by Bretton Zinger ,f Q Although there were ways to make money without college, continuing an education helped a great deal in improving the chances of getting a well- paying job.

Students use extra time Excellence-the state or condi- tion of superiority. Students spent many hours striving for this superiority, whether it was in athletics, drama, academic competition, grades, or music. In- volvement in activities was im- portant, but just being a small part of the whole was, for the most students, unfullfilling. just attending school for seven hours a day was only the begin- ning of scholastic involvement. To fill the rest of the day, stu- dents worked at jobs, participated in sports, volunteered in the com- munity, engaged in hobbies, and participated in activities. fMuch time and effort was spent to achieve high standards and meet personal goalsj Athletes practiced for hours ev- ery day. Musicians took lessons and perfected their skills. Dedi- cated students labored until late at night finishing homework, and students in various activities strove to make their work some- thing to be proud of. Why was this sense of superior- ity so coveted? The thrill of hearing one's name on the announcements was a small re- ward, but was a definite ego- booster. Many students felt that they had to commit themselves fully to their activity in order to feel a sense of personal achieve- ment. Others simply wanted to stand out from the crowd on col- lege applications. Whatever their motives, stu- dents felt obligated to measure up to personal and scholastic goals by excelling in their area of ' t t. m eres -by Gloria Niemi 16 Students use Extra Time Design by Bretton Zinger ...W - A ings K .V... ...... . ,p.- . ,uqi ri : V L- Q it A ,W West?

The cheerleaders had gotten to school much earlier than everyone else to put up these banners and signs. The banners were encouraging students to attend the football game and the signs gave confidence to the football players and showed them that their school supported them. Throughout the day students notic'ed the posters and :hought about the evening's ictivities. Asthe kickoff time grew nearer, students thought about what to wear and take to the game. Students dressed in their orange and black, let- ter jackets, and Northwest T-shirts to show school spirit. Pom pons, stream- ers, horns, and Orange Crush cans were taken to cheer the team on. Spirit was shown through the loyalty of students to their school. Stu- dents, parents, and faculty all support- ed Northwest's activities by participating, attending, and organizing. -by Marla Coldiron ALTHOUGH THE FOOTBALL TEAM is hav- ing a losing season, fans still support Northwest.

Classes were shortened in order to fit pep assemblies in for the big game that evening. Assemblies took place at the end of the day rather than after second hour as they had in the past. Some students chose to stay in their seventh hour classes while many went to the assemblies to see the Cougarlympics, skits, cheerleaders, yell leaders, drill team, and listen to the coaches get the student body into the winning spirit. Not everyone liked the seventh hour assemblies. Sophomore cheer- leader Wendy Robinson said, The sec- ond hour assemblies are better than the seventh hour assembies, because too many people go home and they are not much as pep rallies. Competion between classes, known as the Cougarlympics began with the entrance of the torch, carried in by a teacher. Students were randomly cho- sen from each class to participate in bizarre events. One event had a stu- dent standing on a chair trying to drop pudding into the other person's mouth, who was lying under the chair. Seniors miraculously always won, Iuniors were close behind, and Sopho- AT ASSEMBLIES GROUPS put on skits.

Skits were very popular and were often the highlight of the assemblies. Everything from Gilligans Island to The Dating Game was seen. These skits promoted the teams and encouraged students to attend the games. Cheerleaders and yell leaders helped increase the spirit and enthusiasm with chants, cheers and mounts. They also led in the class chants and the school song. Some assemblies featured the Cougarettes doing a short dance, or the Flag team dong a routine. While the skits, cheerleaders, and yell leaders made the assemblies en- joyable, the coaches' pep talks were the purpose of the assemblies. Specific students were often recognized at this time, as well as the team. I Not only were there Pep Assemblies, but other special scheduled assemblies. The Air Force Band Nightwing was one of these assemblies. A variety of popular songs were sung. Some people remained in the bleachers while others chose to dance. Assemblies were a change in pace and many students took the opportu- nity to go to the assemblies. This gave them the chance to relax and enjoy themselves after a long, hard Week of school work. -by Helen Lopez SPIRIT CLUB RUNS the assemblies.

This group of students known as StuCo was elected at the be- ginning of the year and met fifth hour each day. The responsibility of plan- ning and organizing the events for the year fell in the hands of these stu- dents. The year for the members of StuCo began on August 19th with the annual leadership retreat. This all-day event was designed to teach the members of StuCo to work together in groups and to enhance their leadership abilities. The retreat took place at a confidence course, where students got to meet stu- dents from other schools, and learn to work together. I felt the retreat was a definite plus and helped us in many ways, commented Mike Scarpa. With the start of the school year came the start of StuCo's work.

The first event was United Way Week, which lasted from Septem- ber 30 through October 4. United Way Week gave students a chance to donate to charity. Along with donations, ac- tivities were scheduled for each day of the week to encourage more dona- tions. The week was packed full of events, including a car smashing event, StuCo made this possible by buying an old car. For fifty cents, stu- dents could swing a sledge hammer to take out their frustrations or just to smash up a car. Also that week, students were able to 'see the United States Air Force Band perform in the gymnasium. There was no admission charge but students were encouraged to donate money as they came and left the assembly. Computer dating gave students a chance to find their perfect match. For a dollar, students filled out a questionnaire which was fed into a computer. They received a list of persons with whom they were most compatible. Perhaps the biggest fund raiser for StuCo rounded out the week. As usual it was cold and muddy, but this did not stop students from buying tickets for the annual Iunior-Senior Powderpuff football game. The money raised from the sale of tickets and popcorn also went to charity. . . . continued on page 22 R.V.S.C.: FRONT ROW-Lisa Rahe, Katy Vielhauer, Karen Palitto, Lisa Dittman.

After United Way Week, StuCo planned the Homecoming party. This costume party turned out to be a success. On the evening of October 18, students dressed for both the game and the party. Homecoming attracted many former students. Although the game was lost, the evening was not a total loss. It was a time to renew old friendships and make new ones. As Thanksgiving drew near, StuCo tried to get the school to help the needy during the holiday season. In the first part of November, a canned food drive was held. Students were encouraged to donate non-perishabe foods during fifth hour. One class brought in more than 1000 items. The entire school donated more than 3500 non-perishable items. Working with StuCo to get students involved and make the school year as exciting as possible was the Spirit Club. Most students joined Spirit Club when they paid their enrollment fees. But the hard work and long hours of planning came from the officers and representatives. Homecoming and Queen of Courts were the first two im- portant tasks of the Spirit Club members. Decorating for parties, mak- ing banners, and encouraging school spirit were other jobs they had. Spirit Club's busiest time of the year was during Spirit Week. Included in the days was a Sophomore Day where students could dress up as their favor- ite sophomore. There was also Hawai- ian Day, and the week ended with the traditional Orange and Black Day. One event organized by Spirit Club that had not been held for the past two years was fa bonfire.

A senior girl was chosen from each organization at Northwest to be a can- didate for Homecoming Queen. The senior class voted and narrowed the number of candidates down to ten. Seniors then voted again, marking their one selection for Queen. The name of the Homecoming Queen was withheld until the Ceremonies on Fri- day, October 14, 1985.

The show that followed was the result of months of practice and preparation. The flag team and drill team started practice at the beginning of the sum- mer, and marching band began in Au- gust. The groups worked together for two weeks before school started. Those few weeks meant long, hard days in the hot August sun. Once school started, the Cougar Pride as a whole practiced an hour after school. Each of the individual groups had a school hour when they met as a class to prac- tice.

He then printed out a diagram for each mem- ber which showed them where to go and what to do. Working together eight or nine hours every week brought the band members close together. As Elise Harrington said, Marching Band is a great way to meet people. By the end of the football season, we were a closely knit group. Early in the season, the band partici- pated in the non-competitive Blue Val- ley Marching Festival. This was main- ly to gain experience, but it also provided a chance for the bands to show off for other bands. Most band members agreed with Mike Maloun that the long hours and hard work become worthwhile when you play what you have learned for peoples' enjoyment.

Though the varsity cheerleaders and yell leaders were the prime source of spirit at all the major events, there were also others. The junior varsity and sophomore cheerleaders attended almost all the major events but cheered from the stands. They were there to help the varsity spread the spirit. They were also very busy with bake sales, locker decorations, clinics, and banners. The wrestlerettes were also an important part of Northwests spirit.

Minds were not on the game though. Students were waiting to hear who was to be Queen of Courts 1985-86. Candidates were escorted to the stage by their fathers and Stacey Stallard was escorted by her brother, Sam Stallard. The Queen of Courts candidates were Lori Castle, Kitty Hourigan, Kim Lawrence, Shelby Parrish, Lisa Rahe, Stacey Stallard, Pam Tureskis, and Ieanne With. On her birthday, February 7th, Stacey Stallard was crowned queen of Courts. Stacey, a member of the gym- nastic team, Student Council, Spirit Club, the National Honor Society, and a varsity cheerleader, was naturally elated when Steve Cross placed the crown upon her head. Lisa Rahe was elected first runner- up and Shelby Parrish was second run- ner-up. The basketball game continued until the Cougars were defeated by East, 77-60. After the game, the Queen of Courts Dance, better known as the Va1entine's Day Dance, began. Many students showed up for a beach party. This beach party was also the first dance re- quiring the purchase of a ticket to at- tend. Tickets bought before the day of the dance cost S1 and those purchased at the door cost S2. Students danced to the Beach Boys and Elvis Presley. Many students like Karen Bailey noticed the food. They had a lot of good food there and the party was really well supplied, com- mented Karen. The party was lavishly decorated beach style with streamers and pineapples. During the party, the Big Man on Campus was announced. Candidates were Dave Ingham, Ben Kalny, Brett Louis, Greg Meeter, Sean Phillips, Ken Swinney, Jerry Villa, and Ioe Zacher. Joe Zacher was elected BMOC. Ioe was on the soccer and track teams, a member of Student Council and Spirit Club and was also a yell leader. The first runner-up was Ken Swinney, and the second runner-up was Ierry Villa.

The Orange and Black Attack dominated the Sun- flower League on the way to their first state gymnastics championship. Though the football team failed to meet their high expectations, five other Cougar teams quali- fied and competed in state competition. In the Kansas Cup Tournament, the soccer team placed third. Volley- ball again went to state fin- ishing sixth. And for the eigth consecutive season, the girls' cross-country team, as well as a lone mem- ber of the boys' squad, made the trip to Manhattan to run with the state's best. With a poor season from the boys' basketball team, the boys' swimming team set the pace for the winter sports. The swimming team and a single diver went to Lawrence to compete for the state crown, but instead fin- ished a strong fifth. In order to reach their goals, the Cougars thrived on stretching for excellence. -by Darren Dupriest SKILL AND DETERMINATION leads the Lady Cougars to a state championship.

Dropouts, strenuous prac- tice, and the inability to take the game seriously were the major reasons the girls' team had a rough season. A strenuous practice schedule became the dominating factor in the size of the team. At the be- ginning of the season, nine girls practiced with the team. Considering most oth- er schools' golf teams averaged about thirty players per team, the North- west team started out handi- capped. By the end of the season only six girls re- mained on the team. Three girls dropped out because of the practice schedule. The remaining girls often times failed to be serious in prac- Though we did not have a good season, I was hap- py about the outcome because I saw some players improve. -Coach Linda Rogers tice which reflected in their scores. Practice had been scheduled every day after school until 6:00 or later. A few girls had jobs and could not handle the conflict, so they had no alternative but to quit. The golf teams' shakey season sounded better than it actually was. In the two Blue Valley tournaments the girls placed third of three teams. In the Shawnee Mission East meet the girls finished sixth of six teams, which kept them from com- peting at state. These perfor- mances outlined their entire season. The girls golf team con- sisted of six players. Ashley Sweat, Helen Lopez, and Cristy Beiriger were the three returning letterwomen from the 19821 team, and they proved to be the dominating players. The 1985 season was the first for Coach Linda Rogers, who replaced retired coach Vince Sutherland. I enjoyed coaching the team, Since it was small, I could get my point across better, said Rogers. Most of the girls and Coach Rogers felt it was a let down not going to state after the season. The high- light of the season was working with the girls, commented Rogers. Cristy Beiriger put it best when she said, We had fun. Maybe we will do bet- ter next year. -by Rick Lopez 46 Team not up to par CONCENTRATING on her follow through, Helen Lopez tees off at a tournament at Tomahawklphoto by Darren Dupriestl PRIOR TO A TOURNAMENT at Overland Park, Carrie Stanley practices her puttinglphoto by Alex Bourdol 5 Y Va , n ,P 5 .X I 6 N 1 , . fp? , 'ffigi iilw , Qm aj ' grllhyff p' f fir ig - A J!

The doubles team of Amy Bundy and Eden Richey, sophomore, went to the state tournament after the 1985 season. At the state tournament, Bundy and Richey placed third, winning the first medal for any Northwest tennis team in school history. Their medals at state also brought them placements on the Sun All-Metro tennis team. Our team was much bet- ter than the statistics show, stated Coach Kavanaugh. In their first tournament against East, all three teams lost, but in the second tour- nament against Blue Valley, the junior varsity team came home with a decisive victo- ry of 5-0. Both the varsity and junior varsity defeated North in the third tourna- ment. I am very proud of my girls, Coach Kavanaugh stated. As the season started, Coach Kavanaugh had some doubts about the team. As the year progressed my players all showed improve- ment, she said. Amy Bundy said, I enjoyed playing for her. She expressed her Coach's first year sees tennis tearn capture fourth place in league Two go to state confidence in all of us. After their slow start, the varsity team made a strong comeback with a win over North of 4-1. They also de- feated Bishop Miege 3-2 and posted a shutout over Olathe South 5-0. The girls placed in three tournaments during the season. In the district meet, they came away with second place.

The team of Kit- ty Hourigan, Bridgid Mayor, Brenda Carpenter, Iill Mar- tenson, Stacey Stallard, and Stephanie Withers finished ahead of Derby and West. In capturing the second consecutive Sunflower League gymnastics crown, the team set a school record with a team score of 110.50. In the competition, Bridgid Mayor received the indivi- dual gold in the vault and floor exercise, while finish- ing second all-around. Bren- da Carpenter, who finished second in the balance beam and uneven parallel bars, placed third all-around. The third gymnast to place in the top five all-around was Kitty Hourigan in fifth. By edging West by 1.1 points, the gymnasts took their third consecutive re- gional title. Bridgid Mayor finished second in the ba- lance beam and first in the uneven parallel bars, vault, and floor exercise. With the regional victory the Cougars advanced to the state com- petition at West.

The impor- tant thing is to get the feeling of winning back to the kids, he stated before the season. The Cougars faced another disappointing season winning only games at North and South. Coach Phipps inherited a team that did not have a lot of size or experience, but did have some quickness. We had good talent on the team. It was the quickest team I had ever played for, but we didn't have enough size or leg strength to overpower the opposition, said Jeremy Wilson. In the season opener against East, the Cougar's hopes were dashed with a field goal by East in over- time for the win, 9-6. After a defeat by West the next week, Northwest came back to beat North on two Curt Mason touchdowns, 14-7. Before the game, South was a heavy favorite to beat Northwest, but after the game some people took a second look at the Cougars. Sophomore Jeremy Wilson made his debut as starting quarterback against a team that later went on to the state playoffs. With the score tied 7-7, Wilson sprint- ed 63 yards for the go-ahead touchdown and the Cougars never looked back. The Cougars went on to upset the Raiders 14-13 and move to 2-3 on the season. The win over South real- ly helped the team's morale for the next few games, said senior varsity quarter- back Steve Cross. It helped us a lot going into the Law- rence game, he added.

After finishing fifth in the North Tournament, the Cougars won only one game out of their next six. By the end of the season, however, the team had placed third in the Kansas Cup Tournament and compiled an 11-9-2 record. Opening the season with the North Tournament, Northwest handily defeated West 4-1 in first round play. By tying Rockhurst 0-0, the Cougars then went on to play West again, this time losing 5-0. In the Cougar's final two garnes, they were defeated by Rockhurst 2'i0,f but bounced back with a 2-1 victory over East. With the 2-2-1 record in tournament play, the Cougars took fifth place. After being blanked by Rockhurst 2-0, Northwest edged North 4-3 on two key goals by Brett Louis. The following game featured a Northwest loss to East 2-1. It was the first varsity soccer loss to East ever. The lone Northwest goal was scored in the first half as Chris Hillyer lofted a shot over a wall of East players where Brett Louis headed the ball in the net. While playing an international tour, the West German team, Rotenberger Sportverein, met the Cougars in midseason play. Jumping to an early lead on a Chris Hillyer goal, Northwest held the West German all- stars scoreless for the first twenty minutes of the game. In the second half, Hillyer notched his second goal of the day only to be matched by Rotenberger thirteen minutes later. The game ended in a tie 2-2. The Cougar varsity team entered the Kansas Cup Tournament with a 6-8-2 record. Their first opponent was Olathe South. North- west beat the Falcons 6-5 in a well played game. In the next two rounds, North- west played Blue Valley and DeSoto, winning both games. Their only loss in the Cup playoffs was to South 2-1, but they rallied to take a victory over Bishop Miege 1-0 in the final game.

Cross country meant en- durance throughout the sea- son. Various weather condi- tions, ranging from extreme heat to snow, did not ham- per daily practice as runners continued their mileage each day. Practices were character- ized by warm-up sessions in order to stretch out and learn proper technique. Coaches Van Rose and Ioy Meyen ran with the team to stay in shape. I enjoyed having Coach Meyen run with me, said sophomore Michelle Martin. Coach Rose stated, Not only did I run to stay in shape, but because the team needed supervision as a safe- ty precaution. I also ran for enjoyment and better coach- ing. The daily mileage ranged from six to ten miles in the surrounding community with continued endurance exer- cises on the track. Cool down sessions after running includ- ed not only stretching but swimming and weight train- ing to improve performance and increase endurance. The boys' cross country team was plagued by injuries during the season. Some of the team's top runners were affected with injuries which hindered the team's perfor- mance. Because of certain in- juries, the boys failed to qualify for state. The only runner to represent the Cougars in state was Travis Butler. He was able to compete because of finishing tenth in regionals, but did not finish in state. The remainder of the team was composed mainly of sophomores. We are a young team and we have room to grow, said sopho- more Iohnny Kung. Ron Smith, a varsity sophomore runner, thought injuries to other runners were a major factor in the 1985 season. After winning the regional tournament, the girls' cross country team went on to the state competition for the eighth consecutive year. Mi- chal Hruby placed 12th with a time of 12:46 and was fol- lowed by Cathy Rose in 13th place with a time of 12:48.

The team consisted of a strong group of returning players as well as some outstanding sopho- mores. Cindy Roach, the new head coach, predicted a good season for all of the squads. I expect the team to be strong contenders in the league race, she comment- ed. Coach Roach stressed fundamentals in her train- ing for the team. I put a big emphasis on basic skills, state Roach. The team's hard work and basic training was reward- ing as the team advanced to a victorious season. The team's success showed early in the season as they went into the Law- rence Tournament with a commendable 20-3 record. The Lawrence Tournament highlighted the team's regular season play when the Cougars defeated the Lawrence' Lions. The win over Lawrence was the highlight of our season because they had gone un- defeated for two years, said Ianice Ninemire. Their luck continued throughout the rest of the season. The team was disap- pointed however, with their sixth place league finish but still looked forward to the sub-state tournament at Washington. After achiev- ing their sub-state title the team looked with hopeful anticipation to the state tournament at Lawrence. We went into the state competition with high hopes of winning, said senior Kellie Smith. Going into the state tournament, the third seeded Cougars faced the second seeded team, Wichita South. The Cougars were defeated by Wichita South in the third round. The Cougars missed getting into the semifinals by three points.

League was the most im- portant meet before state. At league, everyone found out where they would be at state, said Dave Nelsen. Despite the flu keeping a number of swimmers from practicing for several days, the team was still able to challenge East for the league title.

After losing three games to Olathe North, Topeka Seaman, and Topeka West in the Olathe North Tournament, North- west lost their home opener against South 52-50. A 12- foot jump shot with five seconds left broke a 50-50 deadlock and gave the Raiders the win. Coming off of a loss to East, the Cougars, while shooting only 39 percent from the field, were handed their sixth loss in a row by Leavenworth 64-53. Frank Newell, with 14 points, and Brent Walker, with 11 -Ioe Panegasser points, paced Northwest in their third conference loss. After falling to 0-10 on the season, Northwest finally got into the win col- umn by defeating Bishop Miege 46-44. For their sec- ond win in a row, the Cougars beat Silver Lake 67- 53. Beating Miege was our best game and then winning our next game was a great lift for us, said Ioe Panegasser. Northwest lost the chance for three victo- ries in a row, losing to Washington 45-43, when a last second shot fell short. Poor shooting and 22 turnovers spoiled the chance for a Queen of Courts victory celebration. The Cougars dropped to 2- 13 with a 77-60 loss to league rival East. With 21 points, Brent Walker led all scorers as the varsity fell to 0-8 in the Sunflower League. At this point the season was dragging a little, but we didn't give up. Al- ways being the underdog makes you want to win that much more, Panegasser said. In the final game of the regular season, Robert Vriend and Ken Swinney tied for scoring honors with 12, as the Cougars finished 2-18 losing to West 64-50.

We thought we could beat Olathe South because we played well against them earlier in the season. In the third quarter we fell behind and cou1dn't regroup, stat- ed Vriend. After a slow start, the ju- nior varsity ended their regular season with a 7-7 record. The Cougars won the season opener 64-46 over Olathe North, but then lost the next four.

By posting a surprisingly easy 53-37 win over the number four seed Kansas City Southeast, Northwest captured seventh place in the tournament. With injuries affecting key players, several close games at the end of the sea- son were lost.

The first time the two teams met, the Cougars prevailed 39-25 and the second time they defeated the Pioneers by the score of 40-24. The matmen also had an overall team winning percentage of over .500. This was a great improvement over the pre- vious year. Wrestling coach Iim Urczyk was impressed with the team's sophomores. Their lack of experience is the major setback in their tlers showed. -Coach jim Urczyk ability, he said, They have the determination and ag- gressiveness to be the best. Two sophomores who showed exceptional talent and ability were Iohnny Kung and Ion Taulbee. Three Northwest wrestlers qualified for the state tour- nament. Ion Taulbee, who had a 21-4 record, wrestled at 145 pounds. Dan Malone competed at the 132 pound level and Mike Brown, who held the best overall person- al record of 22-4-1, compet- ed at 185 pounds. The youth of our team looks to be our strongpoint in future years, said Coach Urczyk. There were no re turning lettermen, and because of this Coach Urczyk felt the squad would be mediocre. At the beginning of the season, Coach Urczyk stressed the fundamentals of wrestling. The basics were our starting point, said Urczyk. Besides weight training and fundamentals, the wrestlers competed against each other during practice. Both the junior varsity and the varsity im- proved from the previous year and look to improve next year, said Coach Urczyk. -by Rick Lopez SOPHOMORE ION TAULBEE gri- AS HE IS DECLARED the winner, i f jf maces as he tries to pin his oppo- Mike Brown's hand is raised to ac- M y it 2 nent in a varsity match. fphoto by knowledge his victory. tphoto by jfelffug Mark Leffingwellb Mark Leffingwelll MWWW, ff 78 Individuals excel f JM TRYING TO WRESTLE his way out of a tight position, johnny Kung works free. fphoto by Chris Assafl Schlagle Sumner Academy South Washington Leavenworth North Rockhurst Center 54 24 17 44 49 18 23-40 39 25 53 8 36 36 39 33 Columbia Hickman 25-48 f y y ' Spring H111 A East B y B Olathe South A Topeka Seaman g 4 9 g B Harmon .Olathe Invit. - ' f - Bonner Invit.

The go-carts raced by Firquain were not average street carts built with a lawnmower engine. De- pending on the condition of the track, the cart will do 110 to 125 miles per hour, he stated. Firquain raced with the instruction of his father, who was a former cart racer, mainly in Kansas and Oklahoma. We usually don't go too far to race, but AT ST. LOUIS NATIONAL RACEWAY, jeff Firquain acceler- ates to speeds over 100 miles per hour. tphoto courtesy of Chuck Firquainb Recreation varies United States. Another popular activity was indoor soccer. It is really fun and it's great excercise, said Kelly Kreutzer. Several teams were formed by the students and were entered in leagues at Iust For Kicks. Though most were just playing for fun, the competitiveness was still present. The games are very intense. All the teams are from different schools, so there are a lot of rivalries, stated Kreutzer. For a relaxing, outdoor sport, several people enjoyed playing minature golf. You don't have to be able to golf to play putt- putt, said Jim Caldwell. Most Northwest students played at Smiley's Golf NLF' n 'A , . lu .X y 4. 1 .pi t s V-N s the newer Putt-Putt on Metcalf. Putt-Putt is a lot nicer, but Smiley's is really more convenient because it is so close, Caldwell said. In addition to soccer and minature golf, the return of the skateboard, which averaged about ninety-five dollars, was noted. Shawnee Village Bowl and King Louie attracted several peo- ple on weekends for late night games. Once spring arrived, Shawnee Mission Park offered the opportuni- ty to sail or rent a paddleboat for the after- noon. Whatever their personal interests were, individuals found recreation to satisfy themselves. -by Darren Dupriest PLAYING ON A TEAM at just For Kicks, Stephanie Beaham advances the ball upfield. tphoto by Chris Feldl -ss.

We played mostly to have fun, but we always tried our hardest to win, said Craig Parrish. In all, eighteen teams contended for three league titles. It was fun, but it wasn't always easy. The games got very com- petitive, said Tim Elliott. The league, which was or- ganized by Coach Ken Iohns, had a fee of two dollars per player. If a team could play the entire season Student rivalries without forfeit, each person was reimbursed one dollar. This was used to pay the referees who were mainly interscholastic players. It was worth it because it helped me get in shape for baseba1l, stated Iohn Godden. The three leagues, which were divided by grade level, had six teams each. We liked forming our own teams and playing against our friends, said Steve Capeluto. D'Beaches, the only all girl team in the league, played in the sopho- more bracket, while a faculty team competed in the senior division. After in- dividual tournaments to crown a league champion, the league winners played a mini-tournament to deter- mine an 'Intramural Cham- pion.' The final game pitted the senior league champions, Lose if You Pay Us, against the winners of the junior di- vision, the Buckeyes. After a well-played and physical game, Brett Louis, who led all scorers with eighteen points, and Charlie Gomer had paced the seniors to a 56-52 victory.

' ' -B tt L as Sprung practice fe 'H When try-outs started in the spring, coaches, as well as participating students, hoped for dry weather. Any large accumulation of rain, or even high winds, would force the outdoor sports to conduct practices indoors. The unusually Warm Weather during the initial weeks of try-outs gave coaches a good opportunity to carefully Watch prospec- tive players before final cuts were made. Light rain dur- ing the third week of prac- tice caused all work-outs to be held indoors. After the ground had dried, practices resumed outside as teams prepared for their season openers. After coming off of a state championship, the boys' golf team worked toward re- 84 Spring practice peating this achievement. While practicing at Lake Quivira, Tomahawk, or Overland Park, sixteen boys, including state medalist Clay Devers, strove toward being the best team in the state. Other returning golfers were Rob Walker, PI Reyes, Andy Cook, Chip Wharff, and Brad Hood, who had also placed at state a year earlier. I think We will have a strong season. We have a lot of new players in addition to the returning lettermen, said Scott Flucke. Under the instruction of Coach Carl tennis team skills in or- Zell, the boys' practiced basic der to improve their record from the previous year. With the loss of three senior lettermen, juniors Tom Wigginton and Mike Van Gorp provided leadership for the young team. With a lot of practice, we will be able to beat South and East, who are our main oppo- nents, said Flucke. Once the rain began, base- ball and softball held prac- tice in the gym. It hurts the team to practice an outdoor sport inside because you don't get the feel of the game, said Brett Louis. After both teams lost key players to graduation, the coaches relied on returning juniors and new talent to help the team become a con- tender in the Sunflower League.

In prehistoric times, people competed for the basic necessities of life such as food, shelter, and clothing. With the advent of Cuisanarts, split-level architec- ture, and Forenza, competition moved on to a higher plane. Objectives changed. No longer was the head of a wild boar ap- propriate as a trophy. Metal plat- ed contraptions mounted on chunks of simulated wood or marble became the vogue. Methods of competing changed too. Laurels were given to those who exhibited academic prowess along with those who excelled in sports. Students strove to make good grades, joined organized clubs such as Debate and Categories that gloried in defeat- ing other schools in competition, and were invited to join the Na- tional Honor Society if they were successful in both academics and activities. Some students pursued excellence independently through science, clothing, and industrial projects that were entered in contests like the Shawnee Mission Research and Development Forum. To be the best in any field of endeavor re- quired the devotion of large amounts of time and energy. Through academic competition, outstanding students were recognized for their effort. -by Ienny Tseng THE CUMPETITI E EDGE Academic competition 89 design by jenny Tseng SCRIBBLING AWAY FURIOUSLY, An- drew johnson and jenny Tseng race to- wards a first place at Mathletics. tph0f0 by Brad Kernj BEFORE THE QUIZZING BEGINS, members of the Categories team wait for the cameras to start rolling. iphoto by Kelly Rawlings! i i 1 I t 2 , 2 E ' . 2 , Northwest quiz Contestants enjoy racing the Clock to win nd the answer is. As glaring lights were directed at their faces, the members of Categories patiently went through the routine sound check before the cameras started rolling. The show started, and they poised their hands next to the buzzer. About once a month, the Northwest Categories team jour- neyed to the Mohawk Instructional Center to compete in a televised quizbowl. The program involved two five-mem- ber teams from the Shawnee Mission school district, Blue Val- ley, Olathe North, or Olathe South battling it out to see which one could answer the most ques- tions right. Une of the reasons students enjoyed Categories was the natural high they got from an- swering difficult questions cor- rectly under pressure. Also, as Iohn Beacom said, they liked the public exposure of being on T.V. Another competition that was held at the Mohawk Instructional Center was Mathletics, which the Math Club participated in. Members divided up into teams of three to solve math problems within a prescribed time limit. Drinks and snacks were provided during the games to help the par- ticipants relax.

N M - F ffw '- New Coach and large turnouts aid teams etting the There were no spectators, no crowds, and no one to root them on to victory. Not many students even knew that the teams existed. But the students on the debate and forensic teams were as com- petitive as any athlete. These stu- dents displayed their speaking, arguing, logic, interpretation, persuasion, and acting at tourna- ments around the state of Kansas. The debate team underwent many changes. The former coach, Bill Robinson, transferred to SM South, and Sue Bryant stepped in. As the season began, students be- gan researching and gathering evidence on the year's topic, Re- solved: that the Federal Government should establish a comprehensive national policy to protect the quality of water in the United States. In a regular tournament, teams made up of two debators debated five preliminary rounds against wg, 'lit mf' 1:6 point across teams from other schools. Because the rounds alternated affirmative and negative, teams had to be prepared to debate either side of the issue. Northwest's debate team fin- ished the season with a 5422 winning record. The culmination of the mildly successful season was the Regional debate tourna- ment, where the top teams from the area competed for two posi- tions at the state tournament. Northwest tied for second place with Blue Valley, but did not advance to state because Blue Val- ley had a lower number of speaker points. Commented Sue Bryant, Coming to a new school has its drawbacks, but I think that we have grown as a squad. I am excited about next year, especial- ly with the addition of freshmen to our team.

Tour- naments were held on Saturdays, as students performed their selec- tions three times. Students winning first, second, or third place could qualify for the state tournament. In addition to attending other tournaments, Northwest hosted an invitational tournament which 22 schools attended. Touted as one of the most popular in the area, the Back to Forensic tour- nament also involved other stu- dents and parents as judges and timekeepers.

It was not just for smart people. Candidates had to have good attitudes fattested to by teacher recommendationsj, and be involved in the school and community, said Brett Louis, President of NHS. Accepted candidates were initi- ated in the annual Candlelight Initiation Ceremony held in the spring. Even after one became a member, one was still expected to maintain a high G.P.A. and con- L. tinue on sevice projects Cschool or community activitiesj Ten hours of service projects were required to remain in NHS, and failure to comply meant expulsion. At the monthly NHS meetings which were usually held before school, new projects were pro- posed and discussed. Although more projects were proposed than executed, the feasible ones were successful. The canned food drive that NHS co-sponsored with StuCo collected thousands of cans that were delivered to homes in the Kansas City area before Thanksgiving. Lewis said , People who excel . ,.,, ,yd ff? A in sm. X4 deserved the recognition that NHS provided. Another organi- zation that provided recognition of excellence was Quill and Scroll, an honorary journalism society. To be eligible, a student had to work on a school publica- tion, be recommended by his sponsor, and be in the top third of the class. No meetings were held, and no projects were undertaken by Quill and Scroll members, but all members re- ceived a nice little medal to add to their collection. -by Ienny Tseng NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY: FRONT ROW-Michael Scarpa, Blake Anderson, jenny Tseng, Susan Bokun, Melinda Kirk, Sandra Darrah, Terri Barnett, Carrie Ross, Rebecca Romanchuk.

Aside from the excitement of travel, they learned more about democracy by actively participating in mock-govern- mental situations, and became more aware of the nation's criti- cal issues through intensive semi- nars. On November 17 and 18, Youth in Government partici- pants attended a model legisla- ture in Topeka where they set up a mock-governmental process with several other high schools. Before the big event, the students prepared for their parts by atttending informative meetings around the area and writing bills. After being familiarized with the procedures of legislation, the participants broke into committees to discuss their bills. First year participants were as- signed to the House of Represen- tatives, and more experienced members were promoted to the Senate. During their two day stay, the students also had a chance to meet both the Lieutenant Governor of Kansas, Thomas D. Docking , and the Governor of Kansas, Iohn Carlin. First year participant Iohn Lu- cas said, Youth in Government was a good experience for anyone interested in law or government, but even if you were not really interested in these sorts of careers, you would still have a good time. During the last week in Ianuary, Washington D.C. be- came the classroom for a number of Northwest students who were involved in Close-Up, an organi- zation that acquainted high school students with the democratic process of the United States. Daily seminars provided students with chances to meet many influential men and wom- en involved in the government who spoke about various polical topics. They also attended special topical seminars which focused on areas of personal interest. However, the trip was not all work and no play. During their free time, the participants ex- plored the city, visiting various monuments, restaurants, and the- aters. The week concluded with a banquet and dance. Close-Up was an excellent op- portunity for students to view government, said sponsor Mrs. Beth Iantsch. It helped them dis- cover how our government func- tions. Foreign governmental policies, explored as part of the Issues '86 program. A model United Nations was staged, and North- west showed up as representa- tives of such varied nations as Algeria, Grenada, and the United States. Before the main event however, research about the countries had to be done. Each nation accumulated a file that re- flected its position, and proposals for action were made for each is- sue. On April 18, costumed in ap- propriate national attire with res- olutions and policy statements in hand, the Issues '86 participants journeyed to the simulation held at johnson County Community College. -by Gregg Nelson and Ienny Tseng CLOSE-UP: FRONT ROW-Kim Bui Courtney Craven.

But for members of the Lair and Passage, staying after school until 7:00 p.m. or later was a common occurrence. The already difficult task of producing the publications was made more difficult by the late arrival of four computers first se- mester. The computers were used to typeset stories before they were sent to the publisher. However, they greatly in- creased the workload because the staffs had to learn how to use them. The computer switchover will help in the long run, com- mented Brett Zinger, editor of the Lair, but it accounted for a slow start. A sign stapled to the wall above the computers in the year- book room summed up how the staff felt about them at first. It said, To err is human . . . to real- ly screw things up, you need a computer! Sometimes copy came back in the wrong type, or did not come back at all. In either case, it had to be retyped and retransmitted to the publisher. This situation made making dead- lines extremely hard. Staff members worked through the holidays to ensure that the year- book would arrive before sum- mer vacation. The computers created havoc for the newspaper staff too. Be- fore we got the computers, the reporters typed their stories and all the editors had to do was copyedit them before they went to the printer, said Mike Brown, co-sports editor. After we got the computers and learned how to use them, the editors had to type all the stories into the com- puter themselves, which took anywhere from three to five hours. Because the computers arrived at Christmas instead of at the be- ginning of the school year as planned, the Passage staff had to start using the computers imme- diately to put out the paper, and if continued on page 100 5, -S 1 23117 was Academic competition 99 design by jenny Tseng Computers invade . . Continued from page 99 . .. at first We made a lot of mis- takes, reported Brown, but after a while, everything was a lot easier. With the computers, the publi- cation staffs hoped to continue their award winning tradition. When members of the Passage staff travelled to Cleaveland in November to participate in the journalism Education Associ- ation's Write Off, jeff Simmons placed first in the editorial cartoon category, and editor-in- chief Tom McCurry earned an honorable mention in newspaper layout. The newspaper was ranked seventh best out of 82 entries at the Write off. At the Kansas Scholastic Press Association's regional journalism contest, Tom Young won first place in sports writing, Courtney Craven earned third place in copyediting, and Kim Nixon took second place in editorial writing. Brett Zinger took second place in double page layout. Photogra- phers Mark Leffingwell and Chris Assaf received first and third place respectively. -by Da- vid Melton and jenny Tseng .

Cphoto by Mark Leffingwelll 'Penpoint' encourages student writers iterary creations from below A bloodcurdling scream could be heard in the distance as... A short story submitted to Penpoint might begin in this man- ner, but it had to have more than just a catchy beginning to be placed in the magazine. Penpoint was stronger than ever, with close to thirty members in attendance. Throughout the year the voices of Penpoint deemed many short stories, essays, poetry, and drawings to be of the Penpoint standard. Submissions that met or surpassed the high standards of the group had the honor of being published. The Penpoint group met every Monday night from 7:00 to 9:00pm at Mr. Roy Gunter's base- ment because it was big enough to accommodate the large group. There, the members laughed and joked around with each other be- fore getting down to business. I liked sponsoring Penpoint because it was an organization that oper- ated like education should. The students that came to the meet- ings came because they were in- terested, and they taught them- selves and each other through reading and Critiquing submis- sions, said Ms. Thressa Newell. With some popcorn and some- thing to drink, we just sat back, relaxed, and listened, said Iohn Lucas. At the meetings, popcorn was never a scarce commodity. In fact, one would be lucky to catch someone without any. Pop was also ever-present. The group took a short break around eight, and everyone guzzled a few glasses before resuming the meeting. In the casual, relaxed atmosphere of the meetings, the students did finally select sub- missions which they enjoyed, to be read aloud and critiqued. I believe Penpoint allowed the stu- dents to express themselves in a creative and constructive way, said Lynn Stewart, one of the Penpoint editors. After a lively discussion the matter was brought to a vote. The the fate of the work hung in balance as the group voted in one of four possible ways: yes - the submission was accepted immedi- ately and would be put into the magazine, revise - with the proper revisions the submission could be resubmitted, no - the submission did not fufill the proper requirements to be acceptable, or abstention - any member with a biased opinion, for one reason or another, could abstain from the voting process. During the course of the year, phrases such as let's shall , burlap and warm milk , in the back of my ever-so dormant mind, I could feel it , the footsoldier , bang my head against the typerwriter , and oth- ers could be heard at the weekly Penpoint meetings. The group made a point to meet at Sub 8: Stuff after each meeting to eat, talk, and just have one more reason Why they didn't need to go home quite yet. The Penpoint meetings were more like get-togethers. We enjoyed our- selves and even got some work done while we had fun, said Morgan Hunter, senior. At the end of each semester, the writings and drawings previously selected were placed in the Penpoint Literary Magazine. Though the magazine was not completed until final entries were decided upon, artwork was completed, and all pages were laid out. 1985-86 editors Amy Hammer and Lynn Stewart com- pleted many of these tasks, with help from sponsor. Who ever thought that so much fun could actually play a part in the development of the 1985-86 issues of Penp0int?!! -by Gregg Nelson AFTER HEARING A submission, Amy Hammer raises her hand to announce her decision while Kim Nixon contemplates the merits of the work. iphoto by Mark Leffingwelll I MAKING HIMSELF AT HOME in Mr. Roy Gunter's basement, Kelly Kel-ng listens attentively to the reading of a story submission. lphoto by Mark Leffingwelll 102 Literary creations from below Lg , ,, ff ffm ., ,,,,, ,, ., .,V., y X' ,W f fM , M Z M2272 W3 I, , H. 4 , fav' -1 V, 4 'Z f 4 ,Q M! if ,fm W 76002 Z' it V4 ,, , W, ff 2 , fyy, WHENEVER A MEMBER COMES across a good story or poem, he reads it to the others.

Academic competition 103 design by jenny Tseng Students' projects displayed at Forum eveloping interests The annual Shawnee Mission Research and Development Fo- rum held at Shawnee Mission West awarded prizes for out- standing projects entered by stu- dents in grades K-12 from the district. The show was divided into eleven categories: industrial education, computer science, foreign language, home econo- mics, science, music, language arts, social studies, health, mathe- matics, and art. The best project in each category was awarded a Best of Show, and runners-up re- ceived Grand Awards. The rest were rated with a lst , 2nd , or 3rd . Students at Northwest worked hard for months to complete their projects, which ranged from scientific research and engineer- ing to dresses. Daniel Huffman said, I decided to build a rocket- glider for the forum because I en- joy testing new concepts, and this was in a new field.

By the 4th, students had to have their projects, papers, and displays completed for the Shawnee Mission Research and Develop- ment Forum. The Iunior Academy of Science CIASD held their district fair on the 12th. Participants gave oral presentations of their papers, and those that were ranked 'lst' went on to the state competition in May. The top research project at state went to nationals. The science fair that we sponsored was unique because the judges could ask questions about the projects afterwards instead of just Science j One club that was newly estab- lished during the school year was the f Science Club, It 1 brought toe gether students who were inter- ested in science, and raised mon-A ey forindependent science projects. P i P e We thought beginning a science club at school was a good idea because of the increase in science projects that were being entered in fairs, saidllenny Tseng, President of the club. The club became involved in other activities as well. Atlthe Rockhurst Science Knowledge Bowl, Northwest placed 5th out of 65 teams. They also traveled to Marlborough Elementary School and Paseo High School to lecture on smoking and heart and lung anatomy as part of the Save a Sweetheart Program. Channel 5 filmed the outreach program for broadcast. -by Rick Lopez looking at displays, said Gloria Niemi, President of IAS. From the 16th to the 18th, the Science Pioneers sponsored the Greater Kansas City Science and Engineering Fair. Companies such as Kodak and Marion Labo- ratories sponsored monetary awards. The highest awards, the Star Grand Awards sponsored by the Kansas City Star I Times, were all-expense- paid trips to the international fair. Some students used expensive laboratory equipment at K.U.

Materials used ranged from those as obscure as trichloroethylene and segments of DNA to commonplace mice and fish. Some classes required a science project. Mr. Robert Siemens, an honors biology teacher said, I had to do some arm twisting sometimes to get them going on their projects, but they were gen- erally enthusiastic about them. Otherwise, they wouldn't be tak- ing this class. Other students chose scientific experimentation instead of a run- of-the- mill library research paper or enrolled in independent study because they were interested in science. -by Ienny Tseng ff Q I T.

The season opened with Night Watch by Lucille Fletcher, a nightmarish mystery about a deranged woman who pretends to see a dead body through the window of her apart- ment while she plots the murders of her husband and his mistress. The play was performed in-the- round which meant that the whole audience was seated on the stage, encompassing the ac- tors. This unusual manner of presenting a play was used once every three years to give every graduating class a chance to ex- perience the intimacy of the style. Theatre-in-the-round also adds variety, said Mr. Gregory Parker, drama director. Because of the limited seating, the play was performed for five days, October 21-26, instead of the usual three. For the first time in Northwest history, a rock opera was staged as the annual musical. By Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, joseph and the Amazing Techicolor Dreamcoat followed the Biblical storyline of Iacob and his twelve sons. Performed from the 13th to the 15th of February, the story was told through song, but it was not all rock. Iazz, country, calypso, cabaret, and ballet were assimilat- ed into the musical, and two narrators introduced each scene. The religious nature of the tale was deemphasizedp instead, the theme of dreams coming true was stressed. The play was like a variety show, with each scene done in a different style. One of the best received characters was that of the Pharoah, a spoof of Elvis Presley. Vincent Scudiero, who played the King , reflected, I 108 Bringing dreams to life had some trouble singing like Elvis because it was hard for peo- ple to understand the words of the song.

A ro- mantic comedy, the fantasy fea- tured music, dance, and pageant- ry while telling the story of love gone awry. Although reading Shakespeare, much less performing it, was dif- ficult, Kelly Kerns CLysanderJ said, By the time I memorized it, I had read the whole play enough times to really under- stand it, archaic terms and all. - by Ienny Tseng 110 Bringing dreams to life X X 1 Q. -f -. .. 1 . . , - an Xi.Gl-.

V THE BEST WAY TO obtain a goal is to work hard. Chris Wright strives to reach the Olympics. fphoto by Chris Assafl It was six a.m., still dark and a solitary figure on a Puegot PSV10 cycle could be seen sprinting through the Northwest parking lot. Chris Wright was training for the next race, for the Junior World Championships, and possi- bly for the Olympics. He had spe- cific goals and was intent on at- taining each one. Setting and reaching goals was significant in a student's life. REACHI G GUALS Whether academically or personally students set their sights on something. From a 4.2 grade point average to a sweater and slacks that matched perfectly, each student chose those things he wanted most. Upon entering high school, college and career plans became important. Students were challenged to set long-range goals and work to achieve them. Perhaps for the first time the fu- ture became as important as the present. From day to day students were challenged to be successful. Ev- eryone had their own ideas of what was important, but there were common goals among stu- dents. Good friends, the newest styles, a car that ran, and a job if necessary were the things many reached for. -by Debra Sissel Reaching Goals 113 SCHOOL ASSEMBLIES ARE one of the best places for friends to get together and show their spirit. lphoto by Greg Gloshenl 1 ff WHEN STUDENTS ARE thrown togeth- er in activities, friendships usually re- sult.

School wasn't just a place to learn but it was a place to gather with people who were an every day part of your life. There was always that familiar scene when walking through the halls and the mall, people here and there gathering in small groups before and after school and between classes. It was diffi- cult to go any place without bumping into a friend. Starting with the first day of school, that feeling of anxiety to see all of the old buddies from last year began.Students won- dered who would be in their classes, hopefully old friends and people to meet and become friends with. The building looked the same but the people were different. Last year's seniors were gone and a new class was there to fill its place. There was a whole new load of sophomores to poke fun at and tease. Friendship was in the making. The new hot spots were filled up immediately with peo- ple dying to meet that gorgeous new guy and that amazing girl. The hottest spot happened to be the mall. This was a place where anyone could gather before or after school, and if time permitted, between classes. The typical scene in the morning was to see senior girls and guys lined up on or near the main bench chatting to their friends about sports, weekends, and dates. Across from them were usually juniors or sophomores. Occasion- ally little groups of friends would form in the cafeterias to get that little amount of homework done that hadn't been finished the pre- vious night. Lunch was an important break from seven hours of education. The crowded cafeteria echoed with voices and music during all three lunches. These twenty-five minutes let students relax and en- joy friends while satisfying that noontime cravingor everything from Ho-Ho's to hamburgers. If the school cafeteria was too crowded or too noisy for students taste there were always the local fast food resturants. Small groups ventured to Burger King, Taco Via, McDonald's, Pizza Hut or Sub n' Stuff to get away from school for a while. During passing, the halls be- came rivers of people flowing here and there into the next classrooms. There was little time continued on page 116 . . . Friends 115 design by Carrie Seltzer Li ening up the da Friends relieve boredom of typical Cldy Continued from page 115. . . enough, the tardy in A the next class was worth it. Often friends just had to catch up on the latest gossip and the newest romance or tragedy. The lower halls were the busiest and risking your life plowing through crowds was not unusual. Students rushed to their lockers to grab books for the next hour and then rushed to the mall or a friends locker for a fun fix to keep them going through the next class. People made the school alive and friends made the people alive.

The thought of knowing someone was there who cared about you was a great feeling. Going to the locker to meet a good friend was a great feeling. Walking down the hall and hearing your name was a great feeling. Sitting by friends in a classroom was a great feeling. This feeling was experienced and shared by Northwest's students and that's what made them who they were.- by Christina Braun 4 AMIDST THE CROWD, Missy White and Sheri Denham take time out to catch up on the day's happenings. tphoto by Mark Leffingwelll Get going Cars bring freedom To a high school student one of the most important, life- sustaining objects was a car. When asked what they would do without a car, several students re- plied, Die, I'd probably walk, and Beg rides from friends. Cars were necessary to stu- dents. Getting to school was just one of the good reasons to have a car. Many students had jobs to get to and from and also enjoyed getting out of the house Friday night. As students turned sixteeen and received their driver's li- censes, many new opportunities arose. Activities abounded, and in order to be involved, students needed the freedom cars offered. Many sports and clubs held their practices and meetings after school, making it impossible to ride the bus. Carpooling was helpful, but it could also be a has- sle to everyone involved. A car that was designated for their use was the best possible situation for students. This allowed them to go where they wanted when they wanted without trying to work out schedules with Dad, Mom and Brother. With my own car, I am able to see my my girlfriend more often and go to and from school when I need to. com- mented Vince Scudiero. Expense was one element of cars most students didn't like. Buying a car usually took at least a year of working and saving and a loan from parents. Other costs DURING THE WINTER, stalled cars are often a problem.

Added responsibilit Students are faced included insurance, repairs, traffic tickets and any extra options. Some students spent many hours and dollars adding special touches to their cars. Personal ad- ditions ranged from license plates such as Red Hot, Wigger, and I Van to larger more pow- erful engines as in Greg P,yka's revved up Camaro to an Alpine stereo, equalizer and 120 watt speakers in Eric Ershick's '79 Z28. The weekend just wouldn't have been the same without driving. Cruising the Plaza or just going to Oak Park to see a movie wouldn't have worked with Mom or Dad as chauffeur. Having a car with more choices was a major part of social life. Dating was next to impossible Without one. Guys who didn't have a car usually double dated or didn't date at all. Girls who didn't have a date and didn't have a car usually sat at home Friday night. Places to go and things to do were not hard to find, but getting there required transportation. A car, any car, from a beat up '72 Impala to an '86 midnight blue Trans-Am, gave students the freedom and responsibility to make choices of where and when to go. To most it was a necessity more than a convenience. -by Debra Sissel Cars 119 design by Debra Sissel ti CONTRASTING COLORS and erratic HAIRSTYLES COULD BE as creative as one wanted.

New and olr' combine I f New and old combine Individual style is shown in fashion From basic to bizarre, everyday was a new fashion experience for students. The average student's wardrobe consisted of a variety of clothes from the old comfortable Levi's to the latest paisleys and pins. For a day full of tests and studies, the look was comfortable and basic. Faded jeans and a big sweater were much less of a both- er than the complexity of the newest fashions. However, someone trying to impress that certain person across the room in Algebra Il would don bright colors and bold pat- terns. The newest and most noticeable trends were the paisley and floral prints. Slacks, skirts, and shirts could all be found in hundreds of variations -of these basic patterns. Another addition to the fashion world was the emergence of Coca-Cola clothing. It was pos- sible to wear the name of the world's most popular soft drink from head to toe. These, coupled with the classic jean jacket, made a sporty yet with it outfit. Swaying away from the norm, many students pursued a totally unique look. This could involve anything from a red Velour sports jacket to a tight ankle- length tye-dyed skirt. Leather jackets regained popularity and along with other items of cloth- ing were inscribed with signs of peace and political rock groups such as Fear and U2 . Accessories played a much 'larger role than in previous years. Madonna began the craze for costume jewelry. Rings, pins, and necklaces were all in abundance. Large rings were often worn on several fingers of both hands. Collar pins took a sharp increase corltznued on page 123 TEACHERS AS WELL as students show style.

Pendants came in all shapes and sizes, from a small gold circle to three large multi- colored stones, surrounded by 'gold weaving with a pearl dan- gling from the bottom. Extremely long strands of pearls were the most versatile accessories. These strands could be worn long with a knot at the bottom or twisted into any length. Clothes could be bought as cheaply or as expensively as one chose. Students shopped .everywhere from Bonwit Teller ,to thrift stores and flea markets. The feeling that anything goes inspired students to be creative with their wardrobes. A student who wanted a shirt with crisp clean colors went to the mall. If a student wanted to make a state- ment about conformity,a baggy pea green shirt with three large holes could be' found somewhere downtown. Hair and shoes could also be as basic or bizarre as desired. Short, long, curly or straight, there were no specific trends in hairstyles. Asymmetrical styles gained popu- larity along with flattops for the guys. Tennis shoes and penny loafers were the classic foot apparel. Buttoned boots, shoes held together with tape, and pink, purple, green, and yellow high tops were among the more interesting footwear. Styles played a large role in the identity of a student. The variety of fashion enabled students to develop their wardrobes any way they wanted. Originality was the key to fashion in '86. -by Debra Sissel Original S5 Q-f 'Z A , x if We - QS' if rig' 'K -i 'E 3 . xi 2 IEAN JACKETS PROVIDE style and warmth At a football game Mike Stlttsworth and Scott Braun discuss the game fphoto by Mark Leffingwelll IN THE MALL a myriad of style can be seen Kerri Roberts and Erin Wahaus choose uncluttered easy going looks fphoto by Alex Bourdol DISPLAYING THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF STYLE, Fashion Careers students produce a spring fashion show.

This was the language of business which most high school students used at work. Whether one worked in a fast food restaurant or a department store, basically the same thing was said. The key was to be polite and pleasant, but at times, it was hard to be consistent. Kim Nixon, who worked at an ice cream store, of- ten found it difficult to be so pleasant because . . . you are treated like a semi-retarded ape. No matter what, students at work had to be polite, because the com- mon rule 'the customer is always right' had to be followed. Some students found their Work enjoyable and advanta- geous. Sharon Bowdish, who worked at a family owned video rental shop, said she liked her job, . . . but it's difficult at times to work with your family. It has its good points and bad points. One advantage was that she could watch all of the movies for free. Her hours were also very lenient. For this reason, work did not affect her schoolwork. Working often interfered with other plans. Kevin McKinney, a sophomore who worked at Hardee's, said that working interfered with his homework and sleep. David Dorothy who worked at Famous Corndogs also said working cut time for home- work. Some people had jobs simply to meet people while most people worked in order to have a con- stant source of money. Money could be saved for college or a car, but mainly students worked for spending money which could be used for entertainment. When students weren't at school, or working, they were most likely out with their friends. As a result, some students didn't 124 Lack of leisure time have liked. Cutting off time for schoolwork might not have seemed like a bad idea in the be- ginning, but they found it hurt in the long run. After receiving the first grade card, some stu- dents decided to spend more time on homework and continue working, while others were forced to quit their jobs and try again later, possibly in the surn- mer. The types of jobs high school students had varied. Some had the usual fast food jobs, or the de- partment store jobs, or the jobs in a family business. Most students' jobs had nothing to do with their future plans. Few students had jobs which prepared them for their careers. Scott Greathouse, a senior, was an exception. Along with working at Taco Via, he worked at the animal hospital as a veterinary technician. At this job, Scott gave treatments to the animals. This job would lay the foundation for his future career as a veterinarian. Along with gaining experience, Scott was able to meet and talk with veterinarians. Long hours caused by schedule changes were the only thing that bothered Scott. Work was very important for most students. Not only did it al- low for a constant flow of money, working made it possible for stu- to meet new people and new friends. On the job, and pressure from school home was put aside, and dents make stress or at new thoughts took over. Working prepared students for the 'real world.' It emphasized responsi- bility, freedom, independence, and often success. -by Helen Lopez PART OF WORKING at the Burlington Coat Factory includes helping customers.

Well- planned, tree-lined subdivisions, along with shopping centers, li- braries, and schools enhanced the suburban atmosphere. Much of the area was under construction and many students had to choose an alternate route to school becauses of the closing of Pflumm Road. With Pflumm closed, I have to leave about ten minutes earlier to get to school on time, said David Nelsen. Evidence of the Northwest area's continual population growth was the school board's decision to keep both Hocker Grove and Trailridge as middle schools and feeder schools into Northwest. According to Dr. Lillian, Associate Principal, There are approximately a hundred more students this year than last at Northwest. He also anticipated an expanded number of students at Northwest for the 1986-1987 school year because of the new four-year format. As a result of the growth in numbers of students, a new site at 87th Street Parkway and Lackman Road was found for another Iohnson County Library. When I find a book in the card catalog, it is usually already checked out. I feel there is a need for another library, said Brook Iones. The large number of homes entered in the Parade of Homes exhibited further growth. The pa- rade brought developers, build- ers, realtors, and prospective home buyers together. Parade homes within the Northwest attendance area illustrated versa- tility in style and reflected ener- gy consciousness. The develop- ment of subdivisions in this area showed strong building trends. These building trends reflected a variety of homes and lifestyles, such as single family dwellings, apartments, and townhouses. Four Colonies, located at 81st Street and Quivira Road, was the largest townhouse development . . . continued on page 128 Building and Expansion 127 design by Carrie Seltzer Gro th brings change Continued from page 127 . . . in the Kansas City area. Four Colonies contained three clubhouses, tennis courts, four swimming pools, an outdoor basketball court, and an indoor SYRI- There were also many brand new as well as remodeled shop- ping centers in Iohnson County. The shops were a place of employment and browsing for many Northwest students. The shopping centers exemplified suburban-planning. Many shop- ping centers were conveniently located, such as Colonial Plaza Shopping Center at 77th Street and Quivira Road. Because of the success of the first businesses, an additional phase was being added in back of the first. Six movie theaters were also added to the already existing the- aters at Oak Park Mall. I like having a choice of six additional movies to see, and I feel that since they are new, they are of- fering a better selection, com- mented Brett Mauser. Many of the new stores fea- tured video rentals. There was an increasing need for these stores because of the number. of homes which had VCR's.

On October 24th, Soviet mer- chant seaman Miroslav Medvid made many attempts to defect to the U.S. Medvid was a crew member of the Marshal Konev, a Soviet corn ship that was leaving New Orleans by way of the Mississippi Riv- er. Medvid jumped from the Konev, swam ashore, and claimed he Wanted to live in an honest country. He later contradicted himself when he was questioned by Soviet officials. Later a prominent defector from the KGB redefected to the Soviet Union, accusing the CIA of kidnapping and mis- treating him. Numerous Soviet spies were taken into custody in 1985.

Disasters leave thousands dead all over the world One of the worst earthquakes ever, lasting 4 112 minutes and mea- suring 7.8 on the Richter scale, struck Mexico City on Sep- tember 18. Help im- mediately arrived as over S500,000 came into the Red Cross Headquarters in Ge- neva. Since most of the buildings in Mexico City are old, they could not with- stand the ground motion like the newer ones in quake prone cities like Los photos courtesy AP! Wide World Photos Angeles. Another reason for its vulnerability is that the city is built on an old lake bed, made of spongy soil. In all the earthquake left over 5,000 dead and 150,000 home- less.

As a result, Reagan arrived at Geneva with strong support for his poli- cies from the Ameri- can people, and Gorbachev arrived with the image of a man more interested in peace than any previous Soviet leader. Gorbachev's use of Soviet and Western media was a relatively new tac- tic for the Soviets, but one which had the official blessing of Moscow's Com- munist Party. The party even released a new manifesto calling for the use of T.V. and other me- dia tools to shape opinion. At the summit it- self, little progress was made. The Soviets refused to limit their long- range nuclear mis- siles while Reagan continued the Star Wars program. Little progress was also made toward reolving local con- flicts such as Nicara- gua and Afghani- stan. -by David Melton AIDS epidemic continues to grow The year of 1985 was punctuated by the deaths of many well-known figures. One of these was Rock Hudson, who died from Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. AIDS had stricken almost 15,000 Americans, and every nine months the number doubled. The disease was most easily contracted through homosexual sex and sharing of intrave- nous needles. Both men and women were known to be carriers although far more men were af- flicted with the disease. The chances of contracting AIDS for men and women of the U.S., provided they were heterosex- ual and not drug us- ers or hemophiliacs needing large blood transfusions, were less than one in a million. At the time no hope existed for AIDS victims. The only treatments available were two experimental drugs and they were known to carry strong adverse side effects. About 20 drugs existed but were only in the ex- perimental testing phase. -by Brian Thomas . World and community 131 132 World Terrorism rises As the Middle East increasingly be- came the center for much turmoil and social unrest, terrorists from these third world coun- tries showed their fists throughout Eu- rope and the Mediterranean. Many European airports were plagued with bomb threats or hijacking attempts, as vaca- tioning Americans looked on bewildered. Because of numerous threats to London's Heathrow airport, security was in- creased to the extent that many Bobbies were armed with sub-machine guns. Athens airport was also hard hit by the terrorist upsurge when five people were killed by a bomb in the lobby of the building. Further events such as the Achille Lauro hijacking, in which seven people were killed, gave Americans second thoughts about trav- eling overseas. In June, a Trans World Airlines jet was hijacked by Sheites. In probably the most publicized and well-known ter- rorist event of the year, 153 passengers Protests become doily occurrence For many Ameri- cans it was the year to speak out against apartheid.

Although most Northwest stu- dents were only about six years old at the time, the war held many distinct memories for a few students. I can remember walking by and see- ing bullet holes in the houses, said David Bui. His fam- ily left Saigon the day the government fell to the Vietcong. Bui said he didn't know it was an actu- al war at the time because there was hardly any fighting near his house. On May 6, the New York Vietnam Veterans Memorial was dedicated. It is a 70-foot-long glass wall with excerpts from letters to and from vietnam sol- diers. One thing worries me-- will people believe me?

Mohling, along with 113 other fina- lists, flew to Cape Canaveral, Florida, to observe the launch set for January 24, 1986, which was delayed until the 28th. Mohling returned to the classroom after several flight delays. Initial cheers turned to shock as students witnessed the explosion on television.

The mandate for the holiday came in 1983, but the first official celebration was set the third Monday of Ianuary, 1986. King's attempts to break racial barriers ended with his assassination in1968. His sudden death was felt tragically by many supporters, and many celebra- tions were planned across the country in tribute to his leader- ship. Some students were involved in the celebrations planned for the Kansas City area. Kim Blackmon at- tended a musical about King's life at M u n i c i p a l Auditorium. There was a lot of singing and enthusiasm from the crowd, said Blackmon. King, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, was recognized through the holiday for his leadership and peaceful activ- ism in the '60's. -by Matt Cooley Air CllSC1Slel'S kill Thousands With the crash of a Midwest Express Airlines DC-9 on takeoff from Mil- waukee that killed thirty-one people, the airliner death toll for 1985 was pushed over the 1, 500 mark. This made 1985 the deadliest year in the history of commercial avi- ation. In early August, a Delta Air Lines Lockhead l-1011 TriStar carrying 149 passengers and 12 crew members, crashed while landing in a heavy thunderstorm at Dallas. Rescue teams pulled 132 bodies from the wreckage of what was to be the worst crash in Texas history. Wit- nesses claim that lightning struck the plane, but a wind shear may also have been a factor. The airliner struck an overpass of Highway 114, killing two drivers before coming to rest in an open field. Days later, a Iapan Air Lines Boeing 747 slammed into a mountain leaving 520 dead, after part of the tail broke away. Ten days lat- er, a British Airways Boeing 737 burned, killing 54, when an engine exploded during takeoff. This left a death toll of 706 for the month of August alone. -by Darren Dupriest World and community 135 136 Local From downtown to plozo KC exponds The face of Kansas City was changing during the past year. As construction con- tinued in the afflu- ent johnson County, Kansas City in itself was also experienc- ing a building boom. As buildings were being razed to make room for new devel- opment, other build- ings were sprouting up in vacant lots. Construction such as the AT8zT build- ing downtown and the Executive Hills development pro- vided jobs for Kan- sas Citians as eco- nomic growth was stimulated. T h e Ra d i s s o n Muehlebach Hotel was closed f0I' renovation Changes were also made to encourage urban living. Warehouses were converted into apartments and projects such as Quality Hill were restoring older homes to attract a new market. The building craze also spread to the Country Club Plaza as the controversial Sailor's project was under preparation. -by Matt Cooley SINCE KANSAS CITY is continually expanding, more houses are being built. fphoto by Bretton Zingerl New Missouri Lottery hos very strong stort The lottery craze hit Kansas and Mis- souri in mid-january when tickets for the Missouri State Lottery went on sale. Tickets cost one dollar, and could be purchased just about anywhere in Mis- souri, from a gas station, to a restaurant or a mov- ie theater. To win, all that was needed was three of the same dollar amounts on one ticket, ranging from two dollars to 86 thousand dollars. A Roeland Park man was one of the first to win 86 thousand dollars. If entry appeared three times on one ticket, the holder would be placed in the big random drawing for anything from one thousand to one million dollars. If ticket appeared three times, the holder would receive a free ticket. To receive the winnings, tickets were to be taken to the place purchased or mailed. Gne con- troversy which arose was when Kansas residents mailed their tickets to Mis- souri. It could be done, however it was considered interstate gambling and looked down upon, especially by the post office. Because of the con- troversy of interstate gambling, the Kan- sas legistlature brought a bill up for voting for a Kansas lottery. -by Helen Lopez THE NEW Missouri Lottery attracts many ticket buyers from Kan- sas. fphoto by Bretton Zingerb IN THE FORMER Macy's store, Wendy Ditto works under Dillard's management. tphoto by Ian Iacksonl Areo bought out by Dillords Mooy's stores On March 3, the Dillard Department Store Inc. officially added Macy's Kan- sas and Missouri stores to the Dillard chain, bringing the number of stores in the chain to 110 in 11 states. The pur- chase involved 10 store locations in the Kansas City area, and one each in Wichita and Topeka. Dillard's had originally agreed to sell the Macy's in Oak Park Mall and Independence to the Jones Store Co. for an undisclosed price. However, the negotiations broke down, and the two stores went back on the market. Later Dillard's decided to operate two stores at Oak Park Mall. One of the main reasons for the sale of Macy's was the decreasing sales in their Midwest divi- sion. The Dillard's stores were known for their success in restoring sales in large department Si'OI'6S. The sale was com- pleted Sunday, March 2, and the stores reopened March 3 under D i l l a r d ' s management. Mr. Dillard said, We ex- pect to be increasing sales at each store.

After the transaction, sales increased by 50 percent. -by Dayna Fuller Chonge in formot The fall of 1986 was to be the begin- ning of a new school structure for Shawnee Mission district schools. For the 1986-87 school year, the district planned a reorgani- zation of its secon- dary schools that would move ninth graders into the high schools. Since ninth grade students would no longer be included in the ten junior high schools, the district consolidated them into seven middle schools serving grades seven and eight. The new four-year high schools would be better equipped to meet the needs of the students. Since enrollment in the schools would be in- creased, a wide variety of classes and activities could continue to be offered. The steady decline in the district's stu- dent population had led the district to weed out some elec- tive courses, but with the increased enrollment, this process need not continue. The reorganiza- tion of the school district meant some teachers and stu- dents would be moved. The district allowed teachers to choose between teaching on the high school level or in the middle schools. Requests were granted on se- niority, based on years of district ser- vice, not individual school seniority. The district said the se- lection process was successful since more than 8096 of the teachers re- ceived their first preference. -by Matt Cooley World and community 137 138 Baseball World Chomp A baseball season that was dominated by the St. Louis Car- dinals and the Toronto Blue lays witnessed one of the most incredible comebacks in cham- pionship series play which led to the 'I- 70' Series. After winning the American League West title, the Royals travelled to Toronto for a best- of-seven playoff series.Despite losing three of the first four games, the Royals won the next three, behind the superb play of George Brett and jim Sundberg, winning the Ameri- can League Champi- onship. With the Cardinals victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Se- ries, the first all- Missouri Series was set. The highly favored Cardinals came to Kansas City for the first two games winning them both, 3-1 and 6-2. The Royals then went to St. Louis for the next three games. The Royals defeat- ed the Cardinals in two of the games at Busch Stadium, and Soberhogen gets Cy Young Aword In his second ma- jor league season, Bret Saberhagen helped lead the Kansas City Royals to a World champi- onship. Though his regular season efforts were overshadowed by the hitting of teammate George Brett, Saberhagen's 20-6 record and 158 strikeouts were enough to beat New York's Ron Guidry for the Cy Young A- ward. After the Royals lost the first two Se- ries games at home, Saberhagen pitched the Royals to a 6-1 victory in St. Louis. With the birth of his first child on the previous day, Saberhagen and the Royals' 'never say die' attitude pre- vailed as he pitched Kansas City to an 11-0 shutout in the final game of the Se- ries. Because of his 2-0 record, 10 strikeouts, and an earned run average of 0.50, Saberhagen was named the World Series Most Valuable Player. -by Darren Dupriest IN THE ATTENDANCE OF FICE, students try to get a pass for the Royals' parade. fphoto by Chris Assafl returned to Kansas City, needing to win both of the remain- ing games.

A tick- er-tape parade began at Grand Avenue and proceeded south to the Liberty Me- morial. Many students left school to go to the parade, and those who didn't watched it on television at school. Blue balloons and banners decorated the route, and ticker tape was thrown from office build- ings.

New York knuckleballer Phil Niekro, 46, entered the 300 club when he threw an 8- 0 win on the last day of the season. This also made Niekro the oldest pitcher to have thrown a shutout. Tom Seaver also threw his 300th win after pitching a win in New York, where he spent his glory days with the Mets. Dwight Gooden achieved the pitch- ers' triple crown in 1985 when he was only20 years old. Gooden lead the league with 24 vic- tories, 268 strikeouts, and an earned run average of 1.53. He also be- came the youngest player to win the Cy Young award.

One of the most controversial topics concerning teen- agers in 1985 was whether record al- bums should be rat- ed for explicit lyrics. The issue was brought about when Tipper Gore, wife of Senator Albert Gore, and a small group of Washington Wives decided that record albums and cassettes should have a label which would warn the public whether or not there were ex- plicit lyrics. The original pro- posal asked for la- bels such as X for explicit sex, V for violence, and DIA for promotion of drugs and alcohol. This system was re- jected and what was finally decided was a list of the lyrics and a note which stated that the al- bum might contain controversial lyrics. While some thought the idea of labeling records was good, the majority of students were opposed. It was ar- gued that labeling records was a form of censorship, and Aoodemy Aword nominotions Best picture: The Color Purple, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Out of Africa, Prizzi's Honor, Witness.

Many false beliefs arose from rumors of the comet. One was that the comet would streak across the sky at any given time. In reality, the comet was in the sky for about six months. Unfortunately, the comet of '85-86 was more faint than in past visits. Because it traveled behind the sun, not in front of it as in 1910, it ap- peared more faint. The comet was seen the clearest in Feb- ruary through April. R313 FOUR ACTORS THAT DIED in 1985: Orson Welles, LLoyd Nolan, Rock Hudson, and Yul Brynner. fphoto courtesy APlWide World Photos!

Rock Hudson died at the age of 59, leaving behind a ca- reer of 65 motion pictures. Hudson's death was stiigmatized by the fact that he died of the AIDS virus, and that he was found to be gay. Orson Welles, renowned for his radio version of War of the Worlds, died of a heart at- tack at the age of 70. Welles was the di- rector for and acted in Citizen Kane, argu- ably the best film of all-time. After 4,625 perfor- mances of the Siamese monarch in The King and I, Yul Brynner died of can- cer at 65.

With the end of the day came the start of the students' night life. The mutual feeling among students was T.G.I.F. The weekend brought a break from school and a chance for students to get together and have fun. One of the big meeting places for students was the Friday night football game. The game was a common place for students to gather, away from school, and talk. . . . the game was a popular place for students to find friends to socialize with and have a good time, said Tracy Allen. n The football game was only the be- ginning to what was sure to be a funfilled and exciting evening. The game took only a small part of the evening, an average of about two hours. During that time students cheered for the Cougars and relaxed. Gathering together after the game, students headed out to spend the rest of their night off. More often than not a party could easily be found at some- one's house. These parties were to be school-long memories for the students that attended. Not only would the par- ty be part of the Friday night activit- ies, but the conversation for the fol- lowing week would focus on the events of the party. Lasting into the late hours, the party was yet another chance to be with friends away from school. If students didn't want to be with a lot of people, they often times gath- ered at close friends' houses in smaller groups. However students spent their Friday night hours, they did not waste them. Parties always ran late into the night, because the next morning stu- dents could sleep late. Then the following Saturday night, once again, was free for fun activities. Whether they were to be as exciting as those of Friday or not, the night would be great fun for the students. Students always made the most of their weekend time, keeping in mind that it would be another week until a break from school and a chance to have a funfilled evening. -by Kevin Bruns AT FOOTBALL GAMES, students do more than watch the game.

Increased cable viewing brought about other changes. Satellite discs were modified for home use. Receiv- ing programs from foreign countries or various cable stations became more common. With satellite discs, students enjoyed many channels as people searched for more variety in their television reception. Satellites are very convenient because you can get just about any channel you want, commented Kelly Kreutzer. VCR's had a strong impact on the leisure time of Northwest students. VCR's are becoming a regular house- hold appliance much like a microwave oven, said Stephanie Anderson. With video stores opening rapidly throughout the community, access to tapes of recent movies was only a few blocks away. Students increasingly stayed at home on the weekends and watched rented movies with friends. Home video advancements made go- ing out less frequent, but students still 148 Rising technology sought to get out of the house once in a while. Movie theaters were still the first to receive the latest movies and some students just cou1dn't wait for the cable versions. Other theaters such as the Fine Arts Theatres provided al- ternatives to the normal Hollywood flick as students looked for the unusual aspects of entertainment. As video trends shaped the lives of Northwest students, so did the devel- opment on the musical part of the technological spectrum. Advancements such as compact disc players, which utilized laser technology to improve the quality of sound, surfaced in the homes of various students. The use of computer and laser technology im- proved equipment quality, affordability, and size. The new tech- nology put a greater demand on these high-tech pieces of equipment. Music played a large part in students lives. Most students had a collage of favorite groups or songs and all the stereo equipment they used was to improve their reception and enhance the sound quality. Students do everything with their stereos on from the time they get up until they go to bed. They've become a teenager's security blanket, said An- derson. Students were more conscious of the quality of the sound. They saved money in order to buy better car stereos or stereo equipment. -by Matt Cooley MANY STUDENTS GO to the movies on Fri- day and Saturday nights.

The real stuff is a fine cut of beef, not ground or shaped into patties, but the atmosphere is important too. The nice restaurant must not pipe Muzak into the ears of its diners, said Carrie Ross. The real stuff? I like going ethnic because, belly dancers in my dining experience add variety, said Kelly Rawlings. Whatever the real stuff seemed to be to Northwest students it was always something other than fastfood. There were places like the ever fan- cy Peppercorn Duck Club or the Top of the Crown. These places were fine if students wanted to spend their Whole life savings on a meal mom could have cooked at home. But maybe it wasn't just the food. These restau- rants always had romantic atmosphere, low lights, slow music, and good ser- vice. The created mood was a nice change for many. Although most preferred to eat out, some students still desired the privacy of their own home. Whether with boyfriends, girlfriends, or just friends, home cooked meals weren't so blah when eaten with people other than family! Eating at home also allowed students to use their money on other things such as movies and concerts. For several years, the plaza had been a favorite place for students. Because of the fast-paced livelihood, the many different cultures, and the variety of stores. And who could forget around Christmas, the lights, said Tom McCurry. The majority of students went because it was a change from the mall 150 Variety in dining ,A,,. , scene. You get to see and meet people: that don't go to Northwest, said Stacey Stallard.

The search for a night's entertainment brought an endless list of choices. Go- ing to the mall and seeing a movie were always good ideas but students liked to find new and different forms of entertainment. Pogo's, a popular dance and music establishment once open to minors only on Sunday nights, now opened its doors to minors on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. Pogo's brought a chance to hear their favorite songs and dance the night away. The month of October brought a bigger flood of Northwest students, as they went to see Northwests' own Perpetual Change. Perpetual Change was competing in the Battle of the Bands. All the bands were excellent, and it was hard to choose just one winner, commented sophomore Cassandra Gleason.

For the fortunate students who went somewhere besides Kansas for spring break, it was usually a trip to the beach or skiing. Although some students stayed home for winter and spring break, they still enjoyed the time since they did not have to worry about home- work or other school activities. Holidays and vacations, no matter how students spent them, added variety and a break from the classsroom. -by Marla Coldiron :nt 155 fldiron STRUGGLI G FOR SUCCESS , I 1 I 1 When asked if they would like to re- live their teenage years, the resounding answer from most adults was NO! . Why? Teenage years were not only time for friends and fun, but also frustration. Most students were able to deal with the stress of growing up, but some felt greater pressure and couldn't handle it. All students had problems but the way these problems were dealt with varied. Some students merely counted to ten and tried to make the best of it. There were also those who had to express their feelings even if it was hazardous to themselves or others. Problems ranged from truancy to suicide, but in every case there seemed to be some root cause. ' Lack of motivation, unstable family relationships, and apathy caused the most among students. These funda- mental factors, along with pressure from parents, teachers, bosses, and QUESTIONABLE ABSENCES ARE often check- ed out. Marylin Carroll calls to confirm what seems to be a forged note. fphoto by Ian Iacksonl friends, often led to problems inside and outside of school. Truancy, as always, was a problem. However, rarely did this turn into a very serious situation. Students re- ceived detentions, in-house and out-of- school suspensions for unexcused ab- sences. The most serious consequence was loss of credit after five unexcused absences per quarter. Petty theft and vandalism increased during the year, especially during third quarter. Theft usually occurred when valuables were left in unlocked lockers or unguarded in the open. Vandalism ranged from scribbling on the bathroom walls to more serious damage to property, such as breaking windows and spray painting school walls. A student's priorities often deter- mined whether school work became a problem.

Iobs were often beneficial, but also could lead to poor grades and even dropping out. Drugs and alcohol use in school seemed to be less of a problem in than in previous years. Students had more control of their use and abuse of these substances. This free- dom often caused problems. Several students were hospitalized as a result of drug abuse, and for the first time in several years students were involved with the use of LSD.Drugs and alcohol were illegal and dangerous. Excessive use was often caused by depression and a need for excitement. Many felt they needed to get away and forget about their problems and pressures. At this point drugs and alcohol played a major role. The school experienced some specif- ic problems in 1986. An increase in fighting among girls concerned ad- ministrators. Agression was usually the result of conflict over a guy and punishment was usually suspension. An abundance of trash throughout the school was frustrating for students, faculty, and administrators. Little could be done about this problem un- less a student was caught in the act. continued on page 160 TOO MANY TARDIES has a price.

Dr. Corky Iacobs felt that students didnt appreciate their school and trash showed a general lack of respect for property. A growing feeling of apathy and motivation among students disturbed administration more than other prob- lems. Counselor Pat Carville felt that a lack of goals was a major problem among students. Counselors found stu- dents more interested in careers that would make money rather than a ca- reer that would by enjoyable and satisfying. The issue of changing sexuality emerged through a letter to the editor in the Passage This letter confronted the issue of discrimination towards gays and bisexuals. It brought to light the fact that there were stu- dents who chose alternate lifestyles. As a direct result of this article, dis- crimination increased and in some cases led to violence. Rocks and eggs were thrown at students believed to be gay. Many were threatened and stu- dents made signs designating drinking fountains and bathroom stalls for straights and gays. Like any school Northwest had diffi- culties. Faculty and administrators worked to resolve conflicts and make it the best school possible. Dr. Gerald Yoesel knew that students had to feel good about themselves to feel good about those around them. He com- mented, Our responsibility here is to make an environment for students to be successful in. High school was the time to grow up. Every student had problems and struggled for success and most eventually found it. -by Debra Sissel is An Academic Progress Academics-not a word that appealed to many teen- agers. However, it was a necessary word throughout the teens' high-school years. New information as well as review was given to the stu- dents day after day. Classes were usually in- teresting if not exciting. Many teachers used special activities to capture student interest or to serve as a break in the monotony of the course. Foreign lan- guage teachers often used games and skits for this purpose. Quite a few classes consisted of lectures and notes. These were classes that students tried to avoid because they involved the task of note taking. A large variety of classes were offered, spanning almost ev- ery area of interest. A typical schedule contained English, math, science, and social studies along with two or more electives to ease the aca- demic strain. It was very im- portant to attain and main- tain a good grade average. Students usually strove for good grades for personal benefits. If not for this reason, parental pressure and college requirements prodded students to do well academically.

A major part of both courses was laboratory assignments. In Biology I, teachers tried to schedule more labs to keep students interested. For each chapter covered in the book, teachers tried to ' f relate labs which helped the students better apply their knowledge. With the extra freedom given to the stu- dents during labs, the stu- dents tend to get a little out of hand, commented Ms. Moore. The Biology II class worked on dissecting cats for most of the year.

I Science 163 Design by Bretton Zinger Fostering a habit What did When the Legends Die, Canterbury Tales, and The Taming of the Shrew mean to students? To many they meant required reading. Required reading had been a part of English class since elementary school, and high school was no ex- ception. Students were re- quired to read short stories, plays, and novels that they probably wouldn't have read on their own anyway, but many students didn't know why. They wanted to expose us to 'higher forms of literature', said Mike Neu. Technically, if it had been left up to us, we wouldn't have read it any- way, so they thought that by handing it to us as a class novel we'd get 'culturally enriched', said Tim Terrill. They wanted to torture us, said Sanjay Patel. I think that it was an in- sidious plot to give us minds, said Rob Shroeder. Despite this wide proliferation of ideas, there were two official reasons to read certain books. One purpose is to develop life time reading habits. Once a student has read and enjoyed a novel, they are liable to read more. It fosters a habit, said Rose- mary Brouhard, head of the English department. Another purpose is to broaden students' tastes in reading. Many students thought that required reading would benefit them later when they were in college, while others didn't think they would get any benefit at all. lt was hard for students to get into because it's not really relevant, and it seems as though they were pushing a writing form on us that is not in use anymore, said Marc Tweed. I think that it is good, said Terrill. I think that we'll eventually learn some- thing from it if we read it enough, but I don't see how it is helping me now. I think that it helped prepare us for college, but I think that some of the works were very boring, tedious, uninteresting, and irrelevant to our education, said Patel. -by David Melton STUDYING IN THE MALL after school, Lisa Siegle, Meg Locher, and Mia Lee finish their home- work. lphoto by Mark Leffingwelll 164 Fostering a Habit IN THE LIBRARY, james Boles takes a break from reading his book.

Most students had already taken one year of mathemat- ics before entering North- west, so there was only one year left. Students found a wide variety of math courses to choose from. For most stu- dents, the math requirement was met by the junior year, and no more math courses had to be taken. For those studious for ad- venturousj types, a third year of math, such as trigo- nometry was available. And for seniors, there was Col- lege Prep Math or Calculus. Each class, and its teacher, had a reputation that was passed down.Sometimes, it was not only the title of the course but the name of the teacher who taught it that determined the choice. Stu- dents often juggled their schedules to fit in a specific class and teacher. The most popular class was Algebra 2. There were five teachers that taught that class, including one of last year's winners of the Presidential Award for Excellence, Mrs. Bev Nichols. According to junior 166 Varied Teaching Styles .. . a--- :wmv C,fd..a....- -51.4 :fag -f .y tyggmg.. Xyg...-.gfg Ritu Aggarwal, Mrs. Nichols . . . explained things very well. To get new ideas across to their students, a couple of teachers opted to use the overhead projector instead of the trusty old chalkboard. Mr. Grossnickel, a new ge- ometry teacher, did all his work on the overhead, and, said Greg Kerr about his method, I don't mind un- less his head's in the way. A computer was brought into calculus class one day by Mr. Ioe Thimes to dem- onstrate how to solve inte- grals and derivatives. Any- thing that broke the daily schedule was much appreci- ated by the students. An honors sequence in mathematics was available to qualified students. It be- gan with Algebra 2 Honors, LU .1 N J iw ' xl Q went on to either Trigonom- etry or Trigonometry Hon- ors, and culminated in Cal- culus with Mr. Thimes. The honors students told tales of exhaustive two-day tests, two-page homework proofs, and tricks such as unprovable proofs. It was common for a trigonometry honors student to be jubi- lant over getting 50'Zi or above on a test, or to stay into the next hour to finish an exam. Most of the stu- dents stuck to the program, however, and found it worthwhile, especially for the preparation the classes gave for college. - by Jenny Tseng MANY TEACHERS, like Mrs. Rogers, explain procedures and then give specific examples on the chalkboard. lphoto by Mark Leffingwelll ..ww.,.,...vw- - Ihr ww mama - ' ' 1: ,V ' , , , f Q ,V i Lwaftivlf WJ s ,jf A ' mx Q-mww... -fw,,.4h 1 . . if , -sfqt '-.af P.E. offers wide variety The one minute bell rang and there was a mad dash to the locker rooms. Seconds later, the tardy bell rang and a few more people straggled in. It was then time for a quick change into the required physical educa- tion uniform of black or dark shorts and a white T- shirt. After roll was called each day, the class lined up for the usual warm-up exer- cises. For sophomores, there was virtually no way around physical education. Each sophomore was required to take one semester of Sopho- more P.E., which was simply a class that focused itself on a wide range of activities rather than one specific area. Some students didn't mind being required to take this class, but others were opposed to the idea. I think you should have a choice between just doing three sports or having Sophomore P.E. They shouldn't have both, commented Erica 'Hersh. For those students who ei- ther enjoyed gym or needed the credits, several types of classes were offered. A stu- dent could choose from a wide variety of classes. Modern dance class, basket- ball, and the ever popular weight training class, were just a few possible choices offered. For some students, phys- ical education was the only source of exercise. For oth- ers, P.E. was a time to in- crease the amount of exer- cise and endurance, and to build strength. Physical education was a popular class for some, a dreaded class for others. Some students enjoyed gym so much, they had two or three hours scheduled for it. P.E. gave many students a break from academic classes and strengthening their brains, to relaxing and strengthening their bodies. -by Helen Lopez WEIGHT TRAINING, Lisa Rahe works out on the bench press. fphoto by Mark Leffingwelll 168 P E.

Consisting mostly of sopho- mores and a few stray juniors, Driver's Education classes taught students how to drive and how to drive safely. Films and lectures filled the beginning days of the class. Soon students were allowed to venture into the simulator room. Cruising at 85 on a sunny suburban road was a frequent activity in the simulators. Finishing a session, stu- dents saw their error score on a back panel. For the conscientious driver, a score of three braking errors, no speeding errors, and one turning error was common, however, for the more ad- venturous, a score of 89 braking errors, 40 speeding errors, and 26 turning errors was about average. After students learned the correct way to drive on the simulators the big step into a real car was taken. Shiver- ing with fear or chuckling with mischief, students adjusted the seatbelt, put the key in the ignition, put their foot on the brake, started the engine, checked in the rearview mirror, and over the shoulder, and then they were ready to go. Experienced drivers had no problem maneuvering in the Northwest neighbor- hoods. First-time drivers of- ten had minor problems such as running into bushes, frightening small children, or entering highways at ten miles per hour. Viewing films on safety, car maintenance, and laws of the highway were a fre- quent method of teaching in some classes. Other teachers emphasized lecturing and notetaking over the same material. Sophomore Carrie Seltzer remarked, It's inter- esting, I guess. I don't think we get enough driving time but . . . Classes were large but each student received the required amount of hours required by the state. When the semester was complete and the students were 16, they made the trip to the Department of Trans- portation to give vital infor- mation and have their pic- tures snapped. Five minutes later, they were legal drivers. -by Debra Sissel Physical EducationlDrivers Education 169 design by Debra Sissel Undecided about a career choice?

For instance, drafting had a beginning course which, gives the students a taste of everything, said Mr. Wray, the drafting instructor. The beginning course was a pre- requisite of machine draft- ing and architecture. Begin- ning classes allowed students to discover whether they wanted to pursue advanced classes. After taking the begin- ning drafting class, students could sign up for either machine drafting or archi- tecture as follow-up courses.

Iunior Kim Iuliano took Home Interiors and Design because I thought it would be fun and easy. Classwork, lectures and homework were a part of the Home Economics class- es. Fashion Careers was a class which delved into im- portant concepts of the fashion industry. In addi- tion to the many basic fundamentals learned, the two year program covered aspects unknown to many students. Fashion Careers students also participated in special projects such as the Spring Fashion Show. Although many students unfamiliar with the curriculum thought there would be no homework or bookwork, they encountered more than they bargained for. Each Home Economics class had a textbook and the books were used frequently. In Interior Design students were given worksheets and study guides that required more thought than usual. However, Iunior Mandy Sawyer who took the class because her mother was an interior decorator, said, It's basically just an art class. To go along with the classroom work with the textbooks, seniors took many field trips to get a vi- sual learning experience. Guest speakers presented more current information in the field of fashion. In addition to gaining COMBINING BOOKWORK and actual experience, Alan Hines works with an RPM monitor in auto tech. fphoto by Greg Gloshenl credit from the class, stu- dents were able to help their career and gain experi- ence by on-the-job training, which also gained them two academic credits. Home Economics, basical- ly a lab class, gave students practical experience in do- mestic matters. Home Eco- nomics seemed like it was going to be an easy class, but I was surprised how much I learned, stated Iulie Riggs. In the Exploring Childhood class students went on a weekly basis to preschools to work with the kids. The more tedious work included outlining chapters and taking tests. In Home E- conomics classes, as in the Fashion Careers class, many forms of teaching were used to enhance the class. -by Debra Sissel Industrial EducationlHome Economics 171 I V , 5 Y f I ' f ' f f fb c 5 'W 4.

Although the subject matter of these class- es differed, the lecture was common in each. The lecture was found in every class, being standard prac- tice for some teachers. The lectures provided informa- tion pertaining to the chapter. For some it also provided an extra hour of sleep. Sophomores, who had just completed ninth grade so- cial studies, were not re- quired to enroll in a social studies course. Those who did took World History or European History A.P. Either one of these two classes introduced the soph- omores to the lecture.

Iuniors were offered a wider variety of courses. The required social studies class for juniors was Ameri- can History. United States History was the advanced placement form of this class. Sociology, Psychology, and Law and You were electives. One semester of Govern- ment was required for each senior, and although most seniors had completed social studies requirements, Psy- chology, Law and You, and Sociology were also offered to them. In European His- tory, we were lectured on a daily basis. The tests reflect- ed the quality of the notes we took. A lot of outside time was needed to update notes that were not thor- oughly covered in class, stated sophomore Wendy Robinson. Honors or advanced placement courses, such as European History and Unit- ed States History, placed a great emphasis on lecturing. Regular courses also used the lecture frequently dur- ing class. In my regular class the lecturing was much more specific and detailed. In advanced placement it is less specific and the stu- dents have to learn more on their own, junior Mark Duff said. The stereotype of lectures being boring no longer ex- isted in some classes. Teach- ers worked on trying to cap- ture the attention and interest of the students. Lectures can be interesting when the teacher adds a few jokes or starts a discussion that is completely off the subject. When a teacher pre- sents a straight fact-filled lecture for fifty minutes it is very boring, said junior lim Caldwell. -by Darren Dupriest x .QR , -EW M Q-gi' ,,,....o Social Studies design by is Y ,....4.

Many different teaching methods were used to help the students learn the lan- guage better. One of the most popular teaching methods, especially among first and second year students was writing and performing plays and com- mercials. As Ms. Yowell said, It puts language in simulation for actual usage. It also gave the students a chance to be creative. The plays and commercials were video taped. This allowed the students to look for mis- takes in their speech and grammar.

I . iieelwig that foreign language teach- ers used was the headphone. Students would listen and speak into the microphones. This allowed the teachers to listen to the students indi- vidually. The students also got the chance to listen to native speakers. It sometimes created a few problems as Ian Jackson pointed out, Sometimes they speak too fast for us to translate what they are saying because we are just in Spanish l. Some teachers gave their students free days, during which students played games or studied. In playing games, students used the foreign language in talking to friends. This put new em- phasis on conversation. -by Marla Coldiron PLAYING GAMES IN foreign lan- guage class encourages students like Bridgid Mayor and Mark Beardslee to use the language in everyday situations. tphoto by Tammy O'Bannonl 174 Foreign Language U44 LM...

From drawing still life to crafting exotic jewelry art, the art classes offered a variety of Ways for students to use their talent. Many students took the traditional painting and sketching courses. However, there were many other less publicized classes. Photography was a course that gained popularity. Stu- dents learned first how to operate a 35 mm camera. Be- ginning with pictures of in- animate objects, students learned the basics of photo- graphy. Soon they moved to portraits and added special effects. Creative photo- graphs became a fun chal- lenge for students. Ceramics classes offered an interesting outlet for ar- tistic talent. More creative students made miniatures 1 f 'WE' T r' 'A l PM U gli J Tw rfrfw M Q rf' .lf l QQ pal. -JmL,.fJCl?Lxf,-1 and sculpted self-designed pieces. Finished projects were sometimes sold to oth- er art lovers. Painting classes, along with drawing classes were some of the most popular among students. These were traditional classes and many students found they could do well even if they weren't the next Leonardo da Vinci. Landscapes were common, but abstract designs in- creased in popularity. Stu- dents found they could combine colors and shape to create an image only mak- ing sense to themselves. Through a variety of art courses, students found many ways to use and develop their talent. Most of all, art courses were a fun getaway from academic schedules. -by Debra Sissel Art 175 Design by Helen Lopez M ,500 ,Q OIAJPECIAL ED. CLASSES are much other academic classes.

People tended to stereotype learning center students as mentally retard- ed when in actuality, very few students functioned that level. Many of the stu- dents in the classes had average or normal intelli- gence but functioned lower in specific areas, such as reading or math. Special education classes tried to encourage students to develop the skills they had and to improve their disabilities. Our first goal is in fighting against years of not being understood, commented Mrs. Ellis, teacher of special education. After the students had overcome their doubts about their own abilities, emphasis was then placed on the aca- demic subjects. The aca- demic curriculum paralleled the mainstream study so that special education stu- dents did not miss out on regular course work. Another important element to special education 176 Overcoming Misconceptions design by Debra Sissel was the establishment of a community base so the stu- dents would develop a basic grip on their surrounding environment. Many stu- dents were involved in a work study plan for possible permanent employment. Others were given instruc- tion in practical living skills. They learned how to budget money, stay current on recent events, etc. Behavioral Disorder class- es, recently changed from PSA classes, were also a part of the special education curriculum. Most of the stu- dents in the BD classes had average intelligence but did not function well in a regular classroom structure. The classes are set up for students to achieve their full potential, said Mrs. Pat Sabath. A small group envir- onment helped students to better concentrate on aca- demic and social skills. -by Matt Cooley INDIVIDUAL HELP is important to a PSA class.

Being the youngest in a place dominated by older students, they had to try harder to succeed, to fit in, and to measure up. Since juniors were in the middle of their high school years, they had to keep up their work. Some had moved into leadership po- sitions, while others worked to improve their G.P.A. or class rank. Whatever their reason, the juniors kept measuring up. 224 . Seniors Although their high school education was almost over, seniors couldn't let up. They tried their best on the ACT and SAT, hop- ing for acceptance to a good university. Many excelled in sports and academic com- petition because of their experience.

Contract negotiations between the Shawnee Mission School Board and the National Education Association of Shawnee Mission reached an impasse in Iune over the issues of teacher sala- ries, early retirement, and binding ar- bitration of termination. The dispute over salaries specifically concerned the teacher raises. The 'Board wanted to change the teachers' pay scale so that there would be less increase in pay for experienced teach- ers. The Board proposed that begin- ning teachers' salaries would be raised by nine percent and the most exper- ienced teachers' salaries would be raised by four percent. Teachers want- ed to maintain the shape of salary schedule by raising each step by an equal percentage, the way pay raises .,,, THE BOARD AND the teachers were not in agreement over salaries, retirement or arbitra- tion.

The disagreement over retirement concerned the early retirement program that was available to teachers in the past. The Board wanted to end the early retirement program on the grounds that it was begun at a time when enrollment in the Shawnee Mission District was declining and it was feared that some teachers would be laid off. Since enrollment was no longer declining, the Board no longer saw a need for the program. The third issue which neither side could agree upon was binding arbitra- tion of termination. A teacher who had been fired by the district could elect to call in an arbitrator to deter- mine if the termination was justified, rather than taking the case through the procedures of state due process. Both sides had to abide by the arbitra- tor's decision. The Board wanted to end binding arbitration of termination. In October, the dispute went to Dr. David Dilts, a state approved fact find- er. Dilts heard both sides of the dispute and submitted a report stating what he recommended should be done. A settlement was then arrived at based entirely on the report. Under the new contract, teachers re- ceived an average 7.76 percent in- crease in salaries, and the Board was prohibited from hiring new teachers at the second pay level. Binding arbitra- tion was retained by the teachers, but the early retirement program was left out of the contract at the recommenda- tion of the fact finder. The teachers ratified the contract. If they hadn't, the Board would then have had the authority to issue a unilateral contract Cone that is not agreed uponl. The teachers could then have resigned, accepted the unilateral contract, or continued working under the existing contract.-by David Melton. ,EQ . gif ,W STAFF X.

Does another library need to be constructed within the Shawnee Mission School District? Would it be feasible to build new soc- cer fields to improve the soccer program? These were just a few of the many questions that the Shawnee Mission Board of Education had to tackle. The Shawnee Mission Board of Edu- cation was comprised of seven members who were equal in responsi- bility and authority. Five of these members were elected to represent the five attendance districts in the area. The entire district elected the other two members at large. Each board member served a four year term. Staggered elections for the board were held in the spring of every odd numbered year, insuring that all seven terms did not expire at once. In order to maintain quality in the dis- trict, it was important that qualified people were willing to serve and to be elected to the Shawnee Mission Board of Education, said Ioan Bowman. Everynfirst and third Monday of the month, the board met at the Howard D. McEachen Administration Building to discuss pertinent and pending is- sues. These meetings were open to the public. Old policies were reviewed and updated as new policies were put into effect. Curriculum, adequate educa- tional facilities, expenditures, as well as attendance boundaries for the dis- trict also had to be discussed at these board meetings. One well known responsibility of the board was to negotiate teacher con- tracts. Board meetings to discuss nego- tiations were the only meetings not open to the public. The Shawnee Mission School Board reviewed and decided on some tough and controversial issues. Since board meetings were open to the public, any- one that was unhappy with school policies or procedures had the oppor- tunity to attend a board meeting and voice their opinion. -by Gregg Nelson STAFF jane Gard, Physical Education, Drill Team. e 1 .

Mermoud was the recipient of the Governor's Award in Education. Each year, one person involved in education received the honor. Teachers, adminis- trators, school board members, or any person involved with education in Kansas was eligible. Dr. Mermoud was only the second high school principal in the history of the Governor's Award to have been recognized. Nominations were taken, and Mermoud was selected by committees from the KansasAssociation of School Boards, the School Superintendent's Association of Kansas, the Kansas High School Principal's Association, and the Kansas National Education As- sociation. When Mermoud received word of his selection, he was very surprised and honored. Said Mermoud, I had no idea that I would receive the a- ward. Mermoud was chosen because of his commendable leadership and involve- ment. Mermoud had also served as chairperson of a state-wide commission to study activities and their relationship to loss of student school time in Kansas.

All of them played a very important role in preparing the variety of foods, and with a little team work, our lunch was always ready on time. Besides preparing lunch, they also prepared breakfast for those students who waited until they got to schol to eat. They served such things as Cougar biscuits, hash browns, cereal, toast, and many more. The custodians had a great many re- sponsibilities, other than just keeping the school clean. They kept everything running. Their jobs also were taken for granted, but if they had not been around they would have been greatly missed. It took three different shifts to keep the schol in top shape. However, when one of the custodians was sick there were no replacements, which made double the work for the rest.

The sopho- mores had thought they had it made the year before with their broken-in, comfort- able surroundings- being the top and the best. But then catastrophe struck and it all changed. The hands of time snatched away their lap of luxury. Suddenly they were at the bottom again and they had to work to establish themselves once more. No more easy street, extra time, or no homework nights. With transition came anxiety and the transition from junior high to senior high was no exception. Everything was new- the teachers, classes, classrooms, activities, and especially the new building that somewhat resembled a cross between an airport and a department store. From there on out things got more com- plicated for them. The pressure was on to prepare for college. The realization set in that all of those grades permanently went on transcripts. If the homework wasn't enough, there were always extracurricular activities for the sophomores--all the clubs, athletic events, the mall, and of course, the parties. Commented Elaine Rowe, Being a sophomore is a lot of fun. You're really excited to be in a new school and you're ready to meet new people. You get teased by the big juniors and seniors, but it is all in fun. And it's worth it because you gain the rank of a high schooler instead of a ju- nior higher. The sophomores became part of a larger mainstream. They also had the chance to make new friends and meet new people. Getting up and ready for school by 7:45 AM was cruel and unusual treatment for the sophomores, considering they had had an extra hour the year before, but the sopho- mores adjusted to the initial shock fairly quickly, especially since they knew that they would get out an hour earlier. Sophomores did get involved. They showed the upperclassmen that they weren't about to be stepped on or pushed around. Sophomores proved to everyone, including themselves, that they were more than just chair warmers. They were the up- and-coming spirit of Northwest. -by Gregg Nelson i Being a sophomore is a lot of fun. Y0a're really excited to be in a new school and you're ready to meet new people.

Most students felt this way about Mondays for various reasons. Many felt that the weekend's length was inadequate and should be prolonged. Mondays seemed to be likely candidates for an addition to the weekends. Students also felt that they had not yet fully relaxed, wound down, or com- pleted their weekend plans. Whether it was homework or social activ- ities, students did not have their minds geared towards work until they had these tasks out of the way. Generally, students still had thoughts of the fun they had just had so they were not ready to work when they returned to school. Wendy Ditto sup- ported this generalization saying, They CMondaysJ make me bored. All I can think of is what I did last weekend or what I'm going to do next Weekend. Other students just plain loathed Mondays. Few even wanted to go back to school. These students felt like Mark Duff who said, I'm never in a real hurry to get back to school. These students more often than not struggled to get to first hour on Monday on time and later in the day some could be found asleep on their desks. Very few students were indifferent and some were even sympathetic towards Mondays. Mondays were just another day of the week to this group. One sympathetic soul was Jenny Bennett. She commented, I feel sorry for Mondays because it gets picked on all the time. Students who felt this way said that Tuesdays would be in the same situation if Mondays were part of the weekend.-by David Bui MONDAYS OFTEN MEAN tired students.

They also provided a convenient meeting place for friends and a good place to keep some of their pictures and other items. Students saw a large variety of locker decorations as they walked up and down the halls. Each locker had its own unique style and much thought and preparation had been put into decorating the lockers. Some had pictures of guys or girls in skimpy swimsuits, cars, popular rock groups, alchoholic beverages, or anything that pleased the locker owners. In many lockers, extra shelves and racks had been added to accommodate a friend's extra books. Special magazines and accessories like mirrors and stuffed animals were also purchased to make the lockers more eye- catching. ,guns However, these same lockers gave stu- dents many problems at times. The lockers tended to jam, locks would break, and sometimes handles even became detached. When I first noticed that the handle of my locker was coming off I thought, 'What a hassle.' To tell you the truth, lockers are a real pain sometimes. commented Stephanie Anderson. Even with all the students in the school, not all of the lockers were used. Many of the lockers in the third hall of the second floor were unoccupied. But these lockers were expected to be filled by the incoming freshmen. Although only two people were assigned to a locker, sometimes a student would leave his assigned locker to share a locker with friends. Next year, there may be a need to assign more than two people to a locker.-by Dayna Fuller A . ka . f- . 'Mil sk LOCKERS EXPRESS MUCH about a student's personality.

No longer would there just be sophomores, juniors, and seniors at Northwest, but freshmen as well. The restructuring of the junior high-senior high concept caused many students to express concern about the new system. Gne of the most worrisome issues for stu- dents was that of overcrowding. Many won- dered if there would be enough room. The halls are already too crowded, and when the freshmen are here, it will only be worse, said Courtney Newcomer. Mike Scarpa added, I'm glad that I will not be here next year. The overcrowding will be hard to tolerate, the cafeteria will be over capacity, and the parking lot will be an even bigger mess. To alleviate some of the crowding, the ad- ministration proposed putting tables in the mall during lunches. Despite the constant reassurances of administrators and the school board, student were still concerned about how the addition of freshmen would affect them. The adaptability of the freshmen to a new school and older students was also questioned. I think that the freshmen will have a hard time fitting in. They will be exposed to a lot of peer presure and may have problems with some of the upperclassmen due to the age difference between a 14-year-old and an 18-year old, commented Stacey Harvey. The new district policy that all students, including seniors, must be enrolled in the full seven hours insured that the projected 2200 students would be at Northwest all day. When Northwest had that many stu- dents in the past, seniors could schedule only those classes they needed to graduate, thus reducing the number of students, espe- cially in the afternoon. Not all students viewed the new situation as disadvantageous. Erica Hersh said, I think that it will be a good opportunity for the freshmen, and an opportunity for us to meet new people. -by Gloria Niemi I e feel sorry for the first freshman class rat Northwest.

These students were not left to fend for themselves, since there was already an organization established to help them get acquainted with their new surroundings. CUBS, the the Club for Uniting Beginning Students, aided new students in becoming more comfortable in NW. It's main purpose is to introduce students to the various activities at Northwest and to en- courage them to get involvedg we want to make students feel at home after just recent- ly moving into the district, said Mike Scarpa, member of the CUBS executive board. Giving tours of the building, explaining school policies, and introducing these students to other students and to the school were just some of the jobs of CUBS members. Each quarter, a party was held for any new students, giving them a chance to get together with other students. We try to help the students out by introducing them to other people before they go to their class- es so that they know someonep our objective is to make sure they don't feel alone, com- mented Stephanie Adams. The first party of the new year was the largest with over 40 new students. From there the number of incoming students tapered off throughout the year. The CUBS executive board met more frequently throughout the year to 'organize' the stu- dent get-togethers . These parties consist- ed of a large assortment of food, speeches by Dr. Mermoud and the sponsor of CUBS, Nathan Meigs, and finally a chance for the students to talk and get to know each other. -by Gregg Nelson A great way to both make new friends and to help out new sta- dents at the same time is through CLIBS. The club was definitely worth the time and ef- fort that we put into it. It's much easier to ad- just to a new school if there is someone willing to lend you a helping hand. -Iennifer Crane CUBS: FRONT ROW-Stephanie Adams, Mike Scarpa, Kris Koehler, Nathan Meigs.

Well, I'm calling because I need a ride to school this mor. . . uh, hello? hello? - oh great! Now how am I gonna get to school? This dilemma faced many students. Stu- dents usually either drove to school, carpooled, rode the bus, or walked. Some students didn't need to 'bum a ride' to school in the mornings - they had their own cars. This group of students, the mo- bile group, were the ones that went any- where anytime. They were also the ones who received up to five calls requesting a ride each morning. Only when students got a car did they finally realize the number of friends that they never knew they had. These students were also overcome by a feeling of nervousness and anxiety everytime they passed a gas station. The main form of getting to school, whether one was a sophomore, junior, or senior, was carpooling. Many students when they were not able to use their parents' cars or even drive, got together with others who were able to drive. This was a fast, economical, and convenient form of transportation for everyone. Most of those riding the bus were sopho- mores. Busing was a cheap source of trans- portation, but not always a convenient one for some students. Sometimes riding the bus was a real has- sle. If I happened to get up late or to run any type of problem, I usually missed the bus. Knowing that it was my only way of getting to school was what kept me on time, said Larry Simpson. Last, and definitely least fin number of studentsj, there was walking for those stu- dents who lived within walking distance of the school. Even though many of these stu- dents who lived close to school still drove. Why do I drive? said Scott Greathouse, I suppose it's because I'm lazy. Even though I live close, I still drive because I like to go places after school. I'm always going somewhere, and having my car right out the door makes it more convenient, said Stephanie Anderson.-by Gregg Nelson. Last year my parents gave me a ride to and from school every day. This year I drive myself and I love it because it gives me so muck more freedom. -Cynthia Fields STUDENTS WHO DRIVE to school often walk long dis- tances to their cars.

Some came across problems that were easily solved, while others faced those which were not easily overcome. Students with divorced parents had special problems. It was difficult for this group of people to get their problems out in the open or discuss them with other people. However, a group existed at Northwest, called the Brighter Side, that was specifical- ly designed to help students cope with a divorce. The Brighter Side was an organization created for individuals who were going through or had gone through the experi- ence of a parental divorce. Students who wanted to talk with others in the club met on first and third Mondays of each month at a member's house. There those experiencing the pain of a divorce could talk to others with the same problem. And those who had already gone through the pains offered advice so that the others could better cope with the problem. The meetings acted as a 'rap session' in which individuals could discuss any problem, whether it involved parents, stepparents, school, a boyfriend or girlfriend, or anything else. These sessions were characterized by a great deal of emo- tional outpour, in which the whole group would break out in tears. Many found the club to be very beneficial. Cherry Hodges commented, I found the Brighter Side to be very helpful because it made me realize that I wasn't the only one with problems. I learned to under- stand how other children felt about divorce, including how the divorced parents felt. I felt that I found a group that would always be there if I was in need of help or someone to talk to. -by David Bui '59 I , I found the Brighter Side very helpful because it madevme realize that I wdsn't the only one with problems.

The organization came about as an off-shoot of the Shawnee Project during the 'Year in Writing' of 1985. A group of people got together and decided to write about Shawnee. In 1986, Carl Zell and Eric Flescher made the group a school sponsored organization. Zell commented, It's a neat group because it gets kids interested in the local history. Zell and Flescher coordinated and orga- nized the group of students and held several seminars, during which they taught the participants how to do genealogies and historical research. Seven students stayed with the group which came to be known as the Northwest Historical Society. Of the seven, there were three officers, President David Blattman, Vice-President Mililani Hayselden, and Secretary Tifani St. Clair. The group usually met once a week on Wednesday to research Shawnee's history. Special activities included research projects on Shawnee and field trips to the local museums. A slide presentation was one of the big projects that the organization pro- duced. The slide show was a musical pre- sentation consisting of pictures taken in several of the museums in the area and pic- tures of stuctures and sites which have sur- vived for long periods in Shawnee. Rich Sears tackled an interesting and unique task for the society. He went in search of houses that were links in the Un- derground Railroad. His findings included a house with secret panels and passageways, and a house which had a tunnel underneath One problem that the group faced was its small number of members, the majority of which were seniors. The Society feared that once these members graduated, there would be no one left to take on the responsiblities of the group. -by David Bui to research the history of the area.

So then I tried to restart it a week ago, but something came up. Then my editor had a coronary because I didn't have this story written. After she calmed down she gave me another deadline. Guess what - I missed it too. She yelled for days, but I did not care. I just said, I'll have it for you tomor- row. This always satisfied her. So then I sat down and stared at a blank sheet of paper until the urge to write came upon me. Webster's New World Dictionary defined procrastinaton as something that is postponed habitually. Most students defined it as waiting until the night before a report is due, then complaining that they didn't get enough time to work on it. By procrastinating, students put added pres- sures upon themselves. There was only one way to get rid of pro- crastination, do away with all reports. Book reports should have been the first on the procrastination list. Students stayed up until the early morning hours reading their re- quired 700-800 pages. That is, if they hadn't already read the Cliff's Notes. Why do now what can be done later, said David Kirsch. Procrastination gave peo- ple things to do. If I don't procrastinate, then I won't have time to do the things I put off, said Katie Karpinski. Puttin' it off is easier than doing it, said David Dorothy. Everyone was guilty of procrastinating. While I was writing this story, it was hard to get good responses about why we procrastinate. I got a lot of responses like, 'Me, no, I never procrastinate'. Some brave souls intentionally procrastinated. Procras- tinating makes life more challenging, said Elizabeth Rowe. Procrastination made life not only more challenging but extremely nerve-wracking. Added Iim Calwell, I think procrastination would be great if I could ever get around to doing it. I don't want to miss 'The. Cosby Show' so I think I'll finish this later. Maybe I'll finish it later, who knows? I think I'll wait until the urge hits me again. -by Rick Lopez WAITING UNTIL THE last minute, Kelly Edmister types her term paper the hour before it's due. iphoto by Chris Assafl fi fa?ff . ssaafi 1 ele i 'f1?f?4, .PrQGfHSf11wrvHe --ss ff-0'f?c.f.il1ffisii:?f'ff?i . fr fhfffff W5U1?l.ff y .bf .-.s rlgffed ffss if aaa eval.gef.sraaaay to tdoilfgfitff Q iyrlr. at f ' lll. ?ff??1lC0f4iwellQ STUDENTS OFTEN PUT off returning library books until the last minute.

For juniors, the adjustment of their sophomore year had ended, and they easily stepped back into the routine when the new year began. There was no longer the unfamiliarity of the surroundings or the people, and they knew what to expect. However they still did not hold the most respected position. Iuniors were offered many opportunities. Activities previously unavailable to them as sophomores were now accessible. Plans two and three could be utilized, and they were allowed to park in the parking lot. The ju- nior year Was considered by many to be the most difficult academically. High-level classes were offered, and students were challenged intellectually. Of course, with more difficult classes came more homework. The dreaded junior English term paper and more projects, papers, and work kept juniors occupied. Students also found themselves involved in many extracurricular activities as well as regular course work. Some also held jobs. All the activity added up to busy lives for most juniors. But even though their time was well occupied, juniors' social lives were always a high priority, as parties, trips to the park, movies, and dates played a major role in their leisure time. Iuniors also had to begin contemplating post-high school plans. Colleges were considered, on-campus visits planned, and tests like the PSAT, SAT, and ACT were tak- en. juniors were caught in the middle.

With a car came free- dom- but also problems. Students found that traffic tickets, accidents, insurance rates, and mechanical problems plagued both their driving record and their pocketbook. Traffic tickets were of utmost concern to student drivers. The sight of a policeman, especially one with his lights and siren blaring, made students break out in a cold sweat. Speeding was one of the most com- mon legal violations of student drivers. For some students it was difficult or seemingly unreasonable to stay within the bounds of the speed limit. But students paid the conse- quences in the form of expensive traffic tickets and court appearances. Derek Zinger, the recipient of three speeding tickets, com- mented, I'm not a worse driver than any- one else. I'm just unlucky. Accidents concerned students also. Inex- perience, carelessness, and other drivers re- sulted in fender-benders and other more serious accidents. Cars were wrecked and students were injured, as insurance rates and bills climbed. Said Suzanne Saxton, My accident was really scary and it was my fault because I was driving too fast. My first reaction when I went into the ditch was Oh' my God, this is my mom's brand new car. Can I back it out? Insurance proved to be one of the largest expenses for student drivers, especially when a student's driving record was less than satisfactory. The 16-25 year-old insur- ance bracket paid the highest insurance rates, and for males, the cost was even high- er. At Northwest as well, student drivers had to be careful about driving rules. Students who failed to display a parking permit or who parked in restricted areas and sopho- mores who parked in the parking lot could be subjected to warnings, tickets, and fines from the campus security officer. One of the most troublesome problems facing drivers was inevitable mechanical failures. All too frequently cars would break down, get a flat tire, or simply not start. The inconvenience and extra expense made stu- dents frustrated and often made them doubt that a car was worth the trouble.-by Gloria Niemi imp- ,, X.-Q K 'k X xxx' F55 - V1-i XPEXX-X1 ae 5 -- M 1 X2 i-1 K X XXX--we X- -g J X X- XX X XX - X X ski- is be X XX DX T: X QA. f K-XX: X X - -'- .

E N n ' Q . t-his 210 Donating time design by Gloria Niemi In this material world, altruism still existed in the form of volunteers. Volunteer jobs did not pay in hard cash, but they pro- vided students with experience and a sense of accomplishment. With a bit of initiative, students could ob- tain candy-striping positions, or be Emer- gency Medical Technician CEMTD explorer scouts with the Shawnee Rescue Squad. Candy-stripers helped nurses and attended to patients. They worked in almost all the patient units at a hospital, EMT explorers were allowed to go on calls with the ambu- lance crews to help with patient care. For both volunteer jobs, applicants had to be ex- tremely well qualified and undergo exten- sive training. Through church groups, students volun- teered to be youth leaders, teaching Sunday school or counseling at camps. Contacts made at school could turn into a job. At the Prairie Center camp, Peggy Sampson, Iulie Leonard, and Thomas Shassberger, all stu- dents of Mr. Wendell Mohling, led nature tours. Other students worked at no charge in retirement homes. There were many reasons why students did volunteer work. Some did it because they wanted to contribute something worthwhile to the community. Others vol- unteered for jobs that related to their future career choice for the experience. Volunteers usually had more responsiblity than paid workers who earned the minimum wage for serving fast food and ice cream. The rewards that volunteers received outweighed the attractiveness of getting a paying job.-by Ienny Tseng in ' 353 4 fy: , -,fam if 4 fm f H '4 4 XX g?:,'fh1 f Z. 1 I ff, 2 , IV , ' 'v 9 f , 4 f 'if f Zi? 4 ff '1 045 1 ,.. fffyzf W ,f ,y,, 'mwl 4 'ff fa: , aww fff 1 X f K0 X , J I , 1, ..

Zhapfer formed Group works to stop drinking and driving A major part of most students' social lives was parties. Although the drinking age had been raised to 21, alcohol was readily avail- able and accessible to students. Alcohol had been associated with over half of all automobile accidents, including accidents involving students. In response to the growing problem of drinking and driving and its potential harms, Northwest char- tered a new chapter of Students Against Drunk Drivers. The idea to originate a S.A.D.D. chapter was initiated by jennifer Waco, who served as S.A.D.D. president. jennifer and fellow students expressed concern about the num- ber of students who might have been driving under the influence of alcohol. Al- though tragedy had not yet struck, these students felt that they could do something to combat the problem. A Northwest's S.A.D.D chapter received its charter early in the year and began holding meetings and planning activities. A large number of students attended the early meetings, as officers were elected and committees were formed. Kevin Howard was elected Vice President, Stacey Harvey was appointed Secretary, and Kurt Plumer was chosen as Treasurer. Special committees, including a social committee, fund-raising committee, and community committee were organized and members were assigned to the various activities. S.A.D.D.'s philosophy was not to condemn student drinking. Its purpose was only to prevent students from injuring themselves or others through driving drunk. Friends don't let friends drive drunk, was the organization's motto, which was reflected by its actions and pub- licity campaigns. S.A.D.D. frequently made announcements on Friday afternoons to remind students not to let friends drive drunk. S.A.D.D., in con- junction with the Booster Club, also spon- sored a non-alcoholic party at school featur- ing the bands Perpetual Change and The Projectors. S.A.D.D worked to increase awareness of the problems associated with drinking and driving. Commented Stacey Harvey, S.A.D.D is a really great program. I don't think that anyone should drink and drive. If students see that other students are against drinking and driving perhaps they will realize the danger and stop before it is too late. I think that everyone needs to be more informed about the dangers of drink- ing and driving. -by Gloria Niemi 'k,.- , SX 'X L Q tXX- -.

Dav id Bui works on the yearbook. lphoto by Chris Assafl 214 Oriental students excel design by Gloria Niemi 1 U 1 1 l 1 3 Oriental students excel Orientals exhibit high academic standards Academic success was important to most students. Many worked hard to get good grades, score well on achievement tests, and gain admission to competitive schools. But for one minority group at Northwest, achievement was not something to take lightly. Orientals consistently held impor- tant positions, made good grades, excelled in sports, and contributed extensively to Northwest. Oriental students comprised only 1-296 of the entire student body. Yet these students nearly always excelled in academics. A comparatively high percentage of Orientals were in honors and advanced placement classes and made the honor roll. jenny Tseng, who qualified as a National Merit Fi- nalist commented, Orientals seem to main- tain higher standards than some other eth- nic groups. We are more motivated by our backgrounds and our parents. Oriental students participated actively in school activities. Ierry Kung participated in the Science Fiction Club, and Christina Braun, Ienny Tseng, and David Bui were members of the yearbook staff. Iohnny Kung excelled as a wrestler. Peter loo and Kai Chang contributed to the Science Club, as well as pursuing individual science re- search projects. Kai also directed the Pep band, and most Orientals were members of the National Honor Society. The reasons behind the success of these students were numerous. Because Oriental parents set high standards for themselves and their children, students were encouraged to do well in school. In addi- tion, most Oriental cultures stressed educa- tion more than in the United States. Said Kim Bui, Oriental students are accustomed to a rigid academic and competitive atmosphere and seem to excel because of the disciplinary influence of their parents. - by Gloria Niemi .4 1 5 f ,ff a 4' .

I reluctantly walked up the street- towards that dark and ominous- looking box. Maybe it didn't come today, I said to cheer myself up. Maybe it Won't ever come. Maybe there was a big fire and.. and . . . I knew this wasn't true as I trudged ever closer to the box that held my not-so- distant past. 'Yes, I was anxious to see what I had earned- but not in all cases. My English grade had been borderline along with my history grade, not to mention a few others. I stood debating for a minute before I finally found the courage to grasp the latch on the box and swing open the door. I peeked in. The glare from an innocent white envelope stared me in the face. My reassuring spirit pervaded as I peered down to make out my name through the little window on the en- velope- it was mine. Novxgl was depressed, but I saw a neigh- bor heading my way, so I grabbed the enve- lope, folded it in half, and concealed it in my pocket. My curiosity was getting the best of me as I found myself holding it up to the light. I waded it up and stuffed it back in my pocket, as I entered my house. I turned on the TV and slid down on the sofa. Quickly becoming engrossed in the program, I didn't give the envelope a sec- ond thought- until my parents came home. It was time for the moment of truth. I sat down in the darkest corner of my room and began to tear it open. With my heart pounding, I slowly pulled the piece of pa- per out of the envelope and stared at it . . . - by Gregg Nelson sl e Q 7, i f X F 5 -we K R 9 1 if ., M J , i , 1 , ,fig 33 .--, f .

Living a fantasy Science fiction club emphasizes ingenuity Every Thursday at 15:15, the barriers of time and space break down. From across the universe comes a host of strange other wordly beings. . . ,This is the Shawnee Mission Northwest Science Fiction Club, said Rob Schroeder, Science Fiction Club President. The meetings convened in Room 102 ev- ery Thursday afternoon with Mr. Eric Flescher, their sponsor. Schroeder com- mented, Mr. Flescher has been a lot of help in getting things organized and think- ing of new ideas. The club provided a suit- able atmosphere in which its members could practice bizarre thinking and contem- plate strange yet unique ideas. Throughout the year, the group spent the majority of its time discussing science fiction works in literature and movies. On several occasions, the group went to the- atres to watch science fiction movies togeth- ET. For the first time ever, the club produced a movie. The film was about a certain type of computer software, which would enable its user to utilize 10092: of his brain rather than the usual 1O'Zi. Tom Michaud thought up the idea for the movie, and the group worked meticulously to make their 'production a success. The Club also established plans to publish a newsletter, which they hoped would attract more people and increase membership in the club. The Northwest Science Fiction Club was definitely one of the schoo1's most unique groups. Because they were unique, many tended to think that they were strange also. However, they were not at all offended by this. The c1ub's president openly admitted, We're the weirdest bunch of people ever to be chartered by this school. -by David Bui - .g3,gQ:...: .15 :rg Xmaf- M X. xX..X .. xtpx XQQXX X Xbq xg, K X X gm NX X X l X, M VT.

This independence was earned through the Plans program. When Northwest first opened, all stu- dents were given the responsibility of at- tending classes without attendence require- ments, and the freedom to leave campus at their own discretion. However, this system caused too many problems because not all students were capable of handling it. In re- sponse to this, the Plans program was instituted to reward good students. The Plan system was divided into three phases, Plans I, II, III. Everyone was on Plan I when entering Northwest. After one se- mester a student could apply for Plan II. This gave the students a chance to go out into the mall instead of staying in a study hall. After successfully completing two se- mesters of Plan Il, students eagerly awaited applying for Plan III. If granted Plan III status, students had more freedom. This included leaving campus without permission and monitoring their own attendance. Plan III students were also given a card that served as a pass to get through the halls and to the library. But this was only obtained if they had dem- onstrated responsible behavior, good attendance and were successfully progress- ing academically. It was only offered to qualified juniors and seniors with parental permission and a meeting with an administrator. Carol-Ann Calixto said, I love the Plan system. It gives you the freedom to use your time how you want instead of having to sit in a stuffy study hall and not talking. You can go work in the library, go home and you can get through the halls without hav- ing to deal with passes. -by Dayna Fuller and Gloria Niemi ,emi - X .a ry .MI x wx 1 XX X- XX - X ke 5 xr X 'P Q X ,,,- K !v,,,,... .,,..,.X .,...--fi' X ,..

Cathy Zahner and Cristy Beiriger read their Cliff's Notes in the mall. iPhoto by Chris Assafl f'CliffTszNotes are very heuefieial for some peos ple: who would otherf wise not .understand what they're reading. But this is often abused by people looking for an easy way out. And teachers also knowytof their existence and might ask you some- thing not covered in them. -Lis a Nuding 222 A helping hand design by Gloria Niemi helping hand Cliffs Notes assist English students Book reports and reading in-class novels and plays struck fear in the hearts of most English students. They broke out in a cold sweat just thinking of interpreting Shake- speare or Dickens on their own. But help was easily available. Behind nearly all copies of classics in a student's possession lurked the famous yellow and black booklet known as Cliff's Notes. Cliff's Notes were the student's guide to literature. They contained a brief summary of the book, character analyses, chapter summaries, commentaries, and notes about the author. They were available for most of the classics that students were required to read. And they were definitely part of high school students' life. Many teachers regarded using Cliff's Notes as cheating, and students were forced to use them on the sly. On the other hand, some teachers viewed Cliff's Notes as a legitimate study aid and some even owned copies themselves. Other teachers obtained Cliff's Notes to know which questions to omit when giving a test. Cliff's Notes are very beneficial for some people who would otherwise not understand what they're reading. But this is often abused by people looking for an easy way out, said Lisa Nading. Although Cliff's Notes were not designed to be a substitute for the actual piece of literature, some students abused them. Cliff's Notes also proved to be a blessing for some students who found themselves 500 pages short of their reading requirement one week before the end of the quarter. A few students tried to give book reports strictly from the Cliff's Notes, even though teachers usually caught on. Continued Nading, You have to be careful if you' re just using Cliff's Notes because teachers also know of their existence and might ask you something not covered in them. When a busy student did not have time to read a chapter, was behind in individual reading, or just wanted help understanding a difficult piece of literature, Cliff's Notes were the solution.-by Gloria Niemi ,K-?'3:LT K. :iff ef fx - x55 D ft fegx X .C X xi Q5 X X X X a X XX 'r-Q X Q x . .

I-Ie ran to his car, and after a brief stop at Quik Trip for a quart of coke and some chocolate dough- nuts, scrambled into his American Government class at the very moment the bell rang. After school, he went to work, and tried to complete his college entrance essays and mail in the applications. After doing only the minimal amount of home- work, he went to sleep and the routine be- gan again in the morning. A senior's life was hectic. The pressure was on to apply to colleges, take college board tests, make money for the future, and make it to graduation. The final year of high school was the culmination of twelve years of hard work, and students both an- ticipated and dreaded the end of their Northwest years. Students were anxious for what lay ahead after high school, but they were also sad to leave Northwest. Many memories, friends, and activities would be left behind. The se- curity of familiar surroundings would no longer be a luxury for the seniors, as they began the rest of their lives. The senior year was considered by most to be the highlight of their education. Chal- lenging classes were available, new free- doms could be exercised, and decisions were theirs alone to make. Being the top class at the school also had its rewards in the forms of teasing underclassmen, and privileges not allowed to other students. Said Donna Bohnert, I love being a senior, despite the pressure and knowing it is your last year in high school. I will miss my friends and the school but I am excited about the rest of my life. The end of high school was a new begin- ning. As seniors left Northwest, they took with them memories, and their educational preparation that would be carried for the rest of their lives.-by Gloria Niemi '51, V?

Most students who worked and were involved in extracurricu- lar activities had similar feelings. Besides going to school, many students had a job which required an additional twenty to thirty hours of their time. These jobs not only interferred with schoolwork and social life, but also caused many stu- dents extra stress and pressure to succeed at both. Some students needed to work in or- der to have money for college Many students took part in school-spon-' sored clubs and sports which took up time both during school and after school. With all of the extra activities students were in- volved in, homework often suffered. This Caused many students extra concern about receiving good grades. Peer pressure caused stress for students. Parties in which drinking occurred could be found every weekend, and many students felt that since their friends went, they should too. With the introduction of a S.A.D.D. organization, some students had the opportunity to speak out against drink- ing. To many students, class rank was very im- portant. Parents stressed getting good grades and getting into a good college, which had to do with the importance of class rank. Having a high grade point average made students feel good about themselves, but also made them worry about maintaining their position. Competitiveness was always a factor in reaching goals and being successful. Stress and pressure were factors that had to be overcome. Learning to deal with a demand- ing schedule, school, and the pressures brought about by activities was an experi- ence which could be used in the future. -by Helen Lopez and Dayna Fuller 4 ., . f 3 ,if ., ff?

They traveled to Colorado for skiing and Canada for canoeing. They could be seen at sports events and movies together. For the stu- dents involved in church youth organiza- tions, going to church didn't just mean getting up early on Sunday mornings, but a fun and rewarding experience as well. Youth group activities centered on social events. Favorite activities of participants in- cluded retreats, lock-ins, Polaroid scavenger hunts, dances, church camps, sports events, and trips. The activities were a fun way to spend time with friends from church. Not all of the activities of youth groups centered on socializing. Youth groups con- tributed to the church and the community in various ways. Faith Lutheran Church youth held an old-fashioned drive-in ham- burger sale to raise money for a summer trip and reserved a special Sunday when the youth ran the entire service. The youth of First Baptist Church of Shawnee helped the community by visiting retirement homes and 'adopting' a senior citizen as well as collecting food and blankets for the poor and helping City Union Mission. The student's reasons for attending youth groups were as varied as their activities, Some enjoyed the fellowship of other peo- ple in a church situation. Others liked the activities and helping the community. Frances Lopez commented, I go to youth group because it's fun.

Hairstyles were not just a way to look good, but also served to express a student's per- sonality. Among the more unique hairstyles that cropped up were punk, new wave, crew-cuts, skin-heads, spiked, and dyed. These hairstyles reflected the personalities of the person who chose them. Wednesday Nowak, who wore braids down the front of her face, and later dyed her hair orange, said, I've always had this in me, but never had the guts to do it. Guts were a necessity for students who wore uncon- ventional hairstyles. Many were subjected to stares and comments from other students. I've had to deal with stares and comments of society concerning my hair, commented Sonia Mulford. The reasons some students resorted to unique hairsyles ranged from simply wanting to be different to making a social statement. Most did not want to look like the majority of students and liked to stand out in a crowd. The unique hair was a way of claiming their own identities. Other students responded in various ways to their classmate's choices of coiffures. Iim Hofer stated, I wouldn't do that to my hair, but if that is the way they want to express themselves, then I can respect their deci- sion. Added Bradley Gustin, People say that hairsyles reflect the way they feel. With some of the hairstyles it looks like some people went out of their way to express themselves. I think they get their hair cut weird because they want attention that they weren't getting before they got their hair cut. Whatever the motive or the haircut, hairstyles were one of the easiest ways to express a student's individuality.-by jim Caldwell and Gloria Niemi People say that hairstyles reflect the way they feel.

Club unites countries International Club prompts better relations Living in a new country involved many adjustments. New cultures, languages, foods, customs, and people had to be learned and accepted. But for foreign ex- change students at Northwest, the transition was made easier by a group of culturally-minded students in the International Club. The exchange students who attended Northwest were Lars Halvorsen and Cather- ine Herrod from Norway, Iuha Helle and Virpi Pigg from Finland, and Patrick Schoettker from Switzerland. The exchange students each lived with a host family who helped them adjust to family life. The International Club officers were re- sponsible for the meetings that were sched- uled every first and third Thursday. The International Club Executive Board, Presi- dent Carol Cook, Vice-president Terri Barnett, Secretary Stacy Fortress, Publicity Chairman Helen Lopez, and Fundraising Chairman Marla Coldiron, as well as sponsor Esther Tuttle, organized the club's activities. Activities ranged from parties and bake sales to a sidewalk cafe in the Mall. Ex- change students and students who had trav- eled abroad shared their experiences with others, allowing everyone to learn. The purpose of the club was to promote International understanding and friend- ships through interaction with the foreign exchange students. At the Christmas party, a card with a check enclosed for a phone call home was given to each exchange stu- dent. At the end of the year, a final party was given in honor of the exchange stu- dents. International Club is an organization that gets different countries and people to- gether.

This is one of the main reasons the students decided to go into the foreign exchange program. There were five foreign exchange stu- dents this year at Northwest. These students were Lars Halvorsen and Cathrine Herrod from Norway, Iuha Helle and Virpi Pigg from Finland, and Patrick Schoettker from Switzerland. These foreign exchange students were housed and supported by American fam- ilies. The students were accepted as family members and strong relationships devel- oped. All students hoped to keep in touch with their American families even after they returned home. Northwest also had a few students that traveled abroad. During the summer Matthew Cooley traveled to Finland while Anne Iones and Susan Bokun went to France. These students had the opportunity to learn about the countries they visited as well as sharing their American culture, My exchange experience was enriching and helped me to learn to interact with peo- ple, so I now think that I will be better pre- pared to cope with college life, commented Matthew Cooley. The exchange students noticed many dif- ferences in their countries and the United States. They had some trouble with under- standing the slang that many of the stu- dents used. But they seemed to overcome the language barrier. They thought that they would take a lot of the things that they learned back home with them.

Lunch break brings many choices As the beu rang to end fourth hour, stu- man with friends. Many students Couid be dents started to go their different ways for lunch. Many went to the cafeteria as usual while others went off-campus with friends. Lunch time was made more enjoyable by the freedom the students were given to spend their break however they chose. The thirty-five minute lunch break al- ways seemed to pass too quickly. The stu- dents who chose to go out to lunch could always be seen rushing to get back to class on time. Said Ritu Aggarwal, The reason I don't go out to lunch is because I don't have a car. And the time limit is too short and it creates a lot of hassle. Other students chose to stay in school and eat in the cafeteria. But just eating in the cafeteria or going to a local fast-food restaurant were not the only alternatives. Some students brought their lunches from home, and sat out in the seen finishing last-minute homework in the mall or even in the cafeteria, balancing eat- ing and their assignments. Invetitably, fifth and six hour teachers found themselves grading some papers with remnants of pepperoni or ketchup. Other students pre- ferred to spend their lunch in a more relaxed manner. Students could be found in the library doing homework, reading books, or catching up on a favorite magazine No matter how a student spent his lunch break, it was always nice to have time away from classes. Erik Bonarcommented, I like being able to do what I want during lunch. On the days I feel like going out, I can. Or if I don't feel like eating at all, I can just sit in the mall or go to the library, instead of just going to the cafeteria every day. -by Gloria Niemi and Dayna Fuller I like being able to do what I want during lunch.

Anyone is welcome, said Iim Gum, on of the leaders of the Northwest Young Life group. The group was formed in 1984 by Gum. The group met about once a week, but regular attendance was not required. There are no dues, membership, or attendance re- quirements commented Gum. During each meeting, the students sang songs ranging from Manfred Mann's Do Wa Diddy, to the Brady Bunch song, to U2's Forty , to Western Auto written by Ben Kalny. The leaders and some group members also put on a skit, and heard a short message accom- panied by a Bible reading at the end of the meeting. During the summer, some students at- tended a camp in Colorado, sponsored by the Young Life organization. Over Christ- mas break, seven Northwest sudents attend- ed a ski trip to Monarch, along with other Young Life groups around the Midwest. These trips gave the students the opportuni- ty to meet other members of the nation- wide organization. Many students went to the meetings because it was a good way to meet new peo- ple and created a more enjoyable atmosphere instead of the restricted envir- onment of church. Many students also went for the enjoyment. I go to Young Life because it's fun, and everyone is there for the same reason commented Melinda Kirk.

The Creative Cougars was an art service organization that met regularly twice a month to work on art projects for the school. Creative Cougars is a fun way for artistic students to get in- volved in our school. Most of the time the club does publicity work for teachers and other groups, said Lara Montee. During the year, the club was involved in such ac- tivities as designing a new club insignia for the Creative Cougars, designing letter heads for the school newsletters, and designing invitations, posters, and banners for North- west. The club also managed to paint a new mural outside the art room. Possibly, though, their biggest project of the year was designing a mural for a metro-area high school photography exhibit which hung in the windows of the Career Center. To raise money for the Cougar budget, the club sold a booklet of photographs from high schools around the area. Some of these were part of the photographic mural. By participating in the Creative Cougars during the year, art students earned a certain number of points. If the students earned enough points, they could enjoy a field trip to the Kansas City Art Institute and the Nelson Gallery of Art at the end of the school year, organized by the sponsor of the Creative Cougars, Carol Dunn. Anyone who had an interest in art or photography was able to become a member of the Cre- ative Cougars. Concluded Diane McDonald, Creative Cougars is a great organization. I like it because it gives me the chance to have my artwork displayed around the school. It is my first step towards becoming a great artist! -by Gregg Nelson Creative Cougars is an artistic, outgoing club with outgoing peo- ple.

She then dug into that bottomless wallet and pulled out two or three dollars for a wild whipper. Wacky wallwalkers, wild whippers, frisbees, superballs, starbots, hac-y-sacs, teddy bears, penny racers, transforming action figures, and instant zoos were among the many toys which kept the Northwest teen- agers entertained during the school year. At different times throughout the day one could see a variety of different toys being played with at Northwest. In the mall between classes, during lunch, and during commons the hac-y-sac was a popular timekiller. Students would gather in a circle at one end of the mall and kick the small beanbag around. Another popular timekiller was the frisbee. This onetime fa- vorite made a comeback at Northwest, Stu- dents could be seen carrying their favorite frisbee with them to class, and on any nice spring day students would go outside and throw it around with their friends. Some of the more discreet toys that were used by the students were the wild whip- pers, wacky wallwalkers, superballs, and starbots. Superballs held two purposes. They were bounced around during free days to kill the monotony of another Wednesday, or they were used during as- semblies by the seniors because they found some enjoyment out of throwing them at the sophomores. I very much enjoy wacky wallwalkers and all sorts of other toys. They keep me busy when I'm bored, which is quite frequently, said Kelly Kreutzer. The new technological advances in toys meant almost nothing to some students. All they needed to keep them occupied was a wacky iwallwalker and some extra time. -by Rick lLopez I .Zope at wacky wallwalkers! Every time I open, a .1701 0f.C6felll,, Il hope that. one ijsnin it.

Many students, males especially, thought that Office Education was a course intended primarily for girls to learn about secretarial work. However, the course was offered to both males and females alike, and there were several male students enrolled. And it was designed to teach the students all aspects of the office, such as working in and managing an office. Ruth Gascoigne, the program's coordinator, commented that the course would be helpful for anyone intrested in the field of business. She made the course as close to the actual working situation as possible so that students would gain experi- ence about what the office was really like. The class is run like an office, and I treat my students like office employees, com- mented Mrs. Gascoigne. Office Education was a two year course offered to juniors and seniors. Students usually took OE I in their junior year as a prerequisite to OE II. In OE I, the students got in-class training in general office skills. That is, they received training on the electronic typewriter, microcomputer, word processor, transcribing machine, and calculator. Wendy Merrick said, Office Edu- cation introduced me to office equipment that I would not have been exposed to had I not taken the class. It gave me the experi- ence I knew that I would need later for a job. In addition, they were trained in fil- ing, business letter writing, and telephone techniques. They also learned how to get a job, that is, how to answer an ad, how to get an interview, and what to do during an in- terview. OE II was an advanced course for seniors only. The seniors learned to apply all that they had learned OE I. During this year they got actual on-the-job training by getting real jobs with pay. They had to maintain the job and average approximately 15-20 hours per week to get the 540 hours needed to pass the class. Many students who have enrolled in Of- fice Education felt that they benefitted greatly because it gave them experience for future jobs. Mrs. Gascoigne said, I wish they had something like this when I was in school. -by David Bui OFFICE EDUCATION TRAINS for use of office equipment.

I spend a good amount of my time on the phone. It comes in real handy when I haven't finished my homework. I can always call a friend and either talk or get help on my homework, said Mike Wil- son. This piece of machinery came in assorted styles and colors. Cordless telephones rose in popularity displacing the conventional ones. More cars were equipped with mobile cellular phones despite the high cost of renting them. Students had many uses for the tele- phone. They used the telephone for gossip- ing and making plans for parties. I use the telephone for almost everything from party plans to finding out what the temperature is, said Molly Anderson. Most students had a phone in their room which gave them access to a phone at all times. This privilege lasted until the hapless student made a few long distance calls, which caused the phone privilege to be tak- en away. Having close friends in different states made the phone bills for some people higher than they would have liked. Some students had the option of call waiting or three-way calling. Call waiting allowed students to put the people they were talking to on hold so they could accept other incoming calls. Three-way calling made it possible for three people to make plans at the same time, instead of making two or more separate calls. I can't imagine my life without a phone, stated Iill Martenson. This feeling was shared by the majority of students. -by Jim Caldwell and Helen Lopez THE TELEPHONE IS an im- portant part of most students lives.

Radio and TV Production was a new class offering the opportunity for interested students to acquire experience working with media productions. Students wrote, directed, anchored, and produced several magazine-style news shows throughout the year. These productions of KUGR news were broadcast on Johnson County Cable stations affiliated with the Shawnee Mission School District. Nineteen radio and TV crew members were selected from try-outs the previous spring. Chosen on the basis of talent, dedi- cation, and interest, these students expected to learn about the equipment, skills, and public relations techniques necessary to produce a television show. The KUGR format included news stories, sports, feature presentations, and interviews. Anchors varied throughout the year and were chosen by audition from in- terested students enrolled in the class. All students were responsible for researching, writing, and taping stories to be presented on the air. KUGR producer Mark Hummell played an integral part in getting the shows suc- cessfully aired. He assured that stories were in on time, planned the broadcasts, and made the opening and closing of the show. Said Hummell, It was a lot of work, but it was rewarding. Many students involved in the KUGR ra- dio and TV class hoped to have a career in broadcasting. The radio and TV class, more than anything else, provided valuable ex- perience that could not have been gained through textbooks. They made shows that they could take pride in, and gave North- west valuable publicity. Craven concluded, We're lucky to have this class for students who are interested in radio and TV production to get valuable hands-on experi- ence. -by Gloria Niemi RADIO AND TV: FRONT ROW-Courtney Craven, Kirsten jarmusch, Nikki Phil- lips, Audra Langford, Anne Hill.

Good weather cleared the classes of more students than the flu epidemic. Seeing a substitute teacher in their classroom caused many students to do an about-face out the door. If a senior had accumulated too many ab- sences, he would simply stay for roll call, and then go to the substitute's desk and flash his plan three card, asking to go to the library. Inevitably, he would get sidetracked to Quik Trip or the nearest donut shop. This irresponsible behavior was not caused by temporary amnesia. What caused it was senioritis, an affliction that cropped up as soon as the weather warmed. When sen- iors did decide to stay put during school, their blank stares and blank minds exasper- ated their teachers. But the teachers were used to it because senioritis struck the graduating class every year. Sometimes it trickled down to the un- derclassmen, especially to those who recent- ly earned their plan three cards. New card bearers could not resist trying it out, as if it were a new toy. Sometimes, students would take the whole day off and go to Shawnee Mission Park. Others simply slept the day away. Shopping was also a popular escape. Of course, students always had a good ex- cuse for skipping school. We weren't going to do anything important in class today anyway, was heard often from students who were caught by their teachers. I had a doctor's!dentist's appointment, was another frequent one. This excuse was usually accompanied by a parental note forged by a friend. Fortunately, teachers and administrators became more lenient as graduation approached. They knew that the only cure for senioritis was summer vacation. -by Ienny Tseng L i AS SENIORS BECOME anxious for the year to end, senioritis often strikes.

The graduation cere- mony was eagerly anticipated, when the diploma that they had worked so long for would finally be theirs. But graduation was not just an isolated incident. Many plans had to be made by seniors in preparation for the end of their high school careers. The most important preparation that sen- iors had to make was making sure that their class credits filled all of the necessary re- quirements. A senior planning to graduate in 1986 had to complete two credits of mathematics, one credit of laboratory science, three credits of social studies, four credits of English, one and one-half credits of physical education, and enough elective credits to bring the total to at least twenty. Meetings were held with the counselors to determine eligibility for graduation. Early in the year, graduation announcements were sold and verification of students' names for diplomas was made. Students busied themselves addressing announcements and inviting their relatives to the ceremony. The time then approached for students to try on and rent caps and gowns. Extra tassles could be purchased, and most seniors hung these on the rear- view mirrors of their cars as a symbol of pride and seniority. As graduation approached, try-outs were held to select five students to deliver com- mencement speeches. Rehearsal was held, outfits chosen, and the top ten graduating seniors were announced. Preparations paid off as the awaited evening finally arrived. Students received their awards after twelve years of schooling, and good-byes were said as the Class of '86 was together as a group for the last time.-by Gloria Niemi 'N fx. lt seems like my senior year has gone by very fast, and I can't wait until graduation.

College bound students had to prepare transcripts, apply to colleges, and take entrance exams. These students looked into college credit opportunities at North- west, such as the Advanced Placement CAPJ classes and the College Level Examination Program, or CLEP exams. Advanced Placement classes gave stu- dents the chance to acquire college credit through exams near the end of the year. If the student had a score high enough, he or she would receive 'credit at colleges for that course. Advanced Placement classes includ- ed U.S. History, Composition I, Calculus, French V, and Spanish V. CLEP exams were another source of col- lege credit. Some CLEP exams, like ones at Iohnson County Community College, did not require Advanced Placement courses. These CLEP exams were just another test that determined whether or not a student knew enough subject matter to bypass the class - though still receive credit for it. To find out more on ACT or SAT exams, colleges, college credit, scholarships, or even vocational programs, many students asked for help from Northwest counselors, who were especially knowledgeable on many of these facts. These academic counselors worked with students to help them develop a specific plan for their fu- ture, whether it be for college or a job. Counselors gave students information on standardized testing, vocational planning, vocational programs and vo-tech schools, scholarships, and financial aid. In the Careers Center, Bill Miller helped answer vocational questions on specific oc- cupations and helped students find the col- lege that met their needs. He helped stu- dents to chose which courses would be the best in terms of the students' respective careers. Mr. Miller had access to informa- tion and materials on different occupations, as well as interest surveys to help students choose a career. After high school, students could go to college, enter the work force, balance both college and a job, or enroll in a vocational type school. Projections into the future, as well as a look into the specific field and its working conditions were important to counselors, since their main objective was to get students on the 'right track' after high school. -by Gregg N91S011 CHOOSING A COLLEGE is an important decision.

Debugging the new journalism computers, hooking up modems, assisting teachers and students with any computer problem, and writing programs were part of the services Iohn provided for the school. All of his hard work paid off. Through the school, Iohn was hired by Computer Concepts as a programmer, where he worked about 20 hours a week. He planed to study computer engineer- ing in college, and pursue it as a career. His new job helped him to get a foot in the door and give him valuable experi- ence as well as earning money for col- lege.-by Gloria Niemi 11 , l 7 2 yt A M X, 'KAW f Miller narned coach of the year Following the varsity and junior Varsi- ty gymnast's undefeated seasons, North- west gymnastics coach Ianice Miller was named female coach of the year. The a- ward from the Kansas Gymnastics Associ- ation capped the most successful season in Northwest history. Miller had coached the team for 13 years, and competed with the Kansas University gymnastics team in college.-by Gloria Niemi Gunter elected President Roy Gunter, Northwest English teacher for 16 years, was elected National Educa- tion Association of Shawnee Mission President for the 1986-87 school year. The position required full-time dedica- tion, so Gunter took a leave of absence from his yearbook and classroom respon- sibilities. Gunter served as NEA-SM President in 1979. Gunter was trying for more com- munication between the board and the school. He was also going for a raise in teacher's salaries. Having served on the local, state, and national NEA levels for several years, Gunter said he was looking forward to being able to have an impact on the fu- ture of the teaching profession in Shawnee Mission.-by Bretton Zinger Students hold unique jobs Many Northwest students held jobs, but for some enterprising students, their businesses were not taken lightly. Chris Assaf and Mark Leffingwell were two such students who found unique ways to earn money. These students began their own photographic business called A8rL Photo Enterprises. They specialized in portfolio photography for students inter- ested in modeling. Portraits for college applications or personal use were avail- able. Mark and Chris also would photograph any odds and ends that peo- ple want. Finding their business chal- lenging and profitable, it gave them good experience for their planned careers in a photographic field. Krista Iulian was another Northwest student with a unique job. As a model, Krista had worked in catalog modeling and done many fashion shows and adver- tisements. She also hoped to d0 television commercials, and was attend- ing several auditions. Through her agent, Krista was able to obtain many jobs, and the major drawback was all of the school I have to miss. Serving on the fashion Board for the Iones Store as well as modeling had given Krista valuable experience working with many different kinds of people. Despite her success, in the future she hoped to work in the field of sports medicine.-by Gloria Niemi i Iii Ads opening 257 DOWNTOWN KANSAS CITY, shows the vast size of a city that is growing at a rapid place. iphoto by Mark Leffingwelll if .3 .K , -,, 5. 1. 53 'rf 'Q .M .0 , -.9 i E ivsvsl .j Q .uk Q - x 1' ' 258 A growing community 268 Business ads As the district was reforming, the com- munity was also changing.

Parents offered their congratulations and support for their children, and their school. 280 Student ads 298 Index and closing Even though they had to keep up their grades, the students wanted to have something to break the monotony of their academic work. They joined clubs, groups or athletics for enjoyment. Stu- dents wanted to remember their friends and their high school days. As summer approached, the shool year began its close. Students worked to improve their G.P.A.'s, and the spring sports teams worked toward the state competitions. Since the weather got warmer, trips to the park became more frequent, as students tried to make the last days of school the best days possible. e I A Growing Community AT A SUPERMARKET, Jeff Noel Rings up someone's gro- ceries on the register. tphoto by Ian jackson? 1 1 IN THE NEW 'D'Lites on 63rd street, Katherine Arenal and Cristina Earnshaw enjoy their lunch. lphoto by Greg Gloshenb Ads opening 259 design by Bretton Zinger ER SUMM S C9135 11006 West 74th Terrace mc- Seaemtim We Carry a C plete Line of D pery an Upholskery Fabrics, Slab Foam and Upholstery Sup- ' er fTomahawk Slhoppmg Cent 2 - 75th and Nieman Shawnee PIZZA SH OPPE lfikmrelm emmemf 5108 NIEMAN ROAD f SHA WNEE, KANSAS ,-4 sit:rf:,ifg?2ia?2,E,ui::gZi2?zi1fl3:::311, 66203 Ixnt-ioiolxaagtirlxlg, Eining Room Chairs Se I m ea us . ?,i NTLK HN - ,fi ani: n 11:- Barbara Robinson Carole Reeves ll 1. t ff?l-ft? -QT ll 'i5M l'5 Ra Ch elle'B 'cl l This is your chance to have a 5- golden moment come true. laifil-i'5g ' Bridal designs with a special , kind of romance, elegance 8a everlasting beauty.

Parent Teacher Student Association members wrote and sent out informative news- letters to all parents. Others helped with excess typing for teachers. Volunteers also were found designing sets, making costumes and helping with rehearsals for drama events. . . . continued on page 270 PARENTS SUPPORT THEIR children in various ways.

The book's planning stage had been finished in August, and hardly anyone had criticisms. We had begun selling ads during the summer, which was the first time the staff worked together. As a result of poor ad sales, the book's size was reduced by eight pages. The decision to switch to computer type- setting and staff paste-up was made last winter. Orders were placed for the equip- ment, and the arrival of the new typesetting program and the computers was anticipated in September. However, because the com- puters did not arrive until Christmas, dead' lines were delayed. As the color deadline passed and the computers still had not arrived, things ,got worse. It was necessary to use conventional company paste-up. The fall sports section was printed in color because the section planned to be in color was not near completion. plOther problems with color picture prints, lost negatives, and procrastination helped us miss the first deadline. Nota good start. p f A The computers finally arrived, and we were forced to use a system with which no , K one had had experience. We never antici- pated the problems that we were to encoun- ter. No longer could a page be done in an hour. The storyycaptions, headlines, and fo- lios had to be written, typed into the com- puter, and transmitted through, the modem. A minimum of one day was required to get the copy back from the printer and to paste it on the page. If errors were found in the copy, the whole spread waited for the cor- rected item. 1 A A , As the year progressed, the yearbook didn't. Although some sections were close to schedule, other sections did not even have an overall design. Copy came back in the wrong typestyle, disks crashed, transmissions failed, copy came back late or was sent to other schools, and some copy was never received at all. Each of us had to learn the quirks of the system as well as try- ing to get our pages done. The entire blame could not be placed. on the computers. Pro- crastination occurred, as deadlines were repeatedly missed. A , Mr. Gunter informed the staff that those whohadn't finished their sections would be spending their Spring Break in Shawnee. Over break, select members were at North- west from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day. But, through correcting numerous type errors, Roy's 'pickle loaf' for lunch, and stolen purses, most of the pages were done. All pages were completed fexcept they indexl three days after school resumed. 1 A p Then it was timetodo the index. Because of the new, computers, the typing classes did not engage in the annual ritual of' typ- ing our index for us. This year we hadrto load everybody's disks fa total of 241 into the indexing program. After wephad found out the right way to use the program, and had run about half of our disks correctly, the computer told us that there wasta 'fatal errorf So we started over, After six more hours of indexing, another fatal error oc- curred. We then called the computer repre- sentative from ICP, andthe told us to make two indexes, and combine them. After add- ing 1200 names manually, we ,found that the programset the index in five columns perpage. Having planned for three columns, we found it was necessary to fill extra space, hence this story. -by Bretton Zinger . , 1 A 1 A 1 Shaw, Stephen 248 Shawnee Copy Center 266 Shawnee State Bank 263 Sheffield, Melanie 43,202 Sheils, Shelby 202 Sheils, Tate 221 Shelton, Gary 187 Shelton, Iulie 248 Sherman, Gregory 26,29, 43,248 Shields, james 57,202 Shiflett, Kathleen 248 Shikles, Lori 248 Shilling, Monica 202,287 Shirley, Chuck 221 Shoptaw, Stephen 223 Shoup, Eric 92,93,95,248, 290 Shulda, Brian 248 Shultz, David 221 Sidin, Iohnny 204 Siemens, Amber 221 Siemens, Robert 106,187 Silva, Diana 248 Simmons, Ieffrey 100,101 Simmons, Stephen 10,36, 92,93,221,248,249,287 Simms, Sherri 202 Simpson, Larry 199,202 Sims, Dawn 202 Singer, Iody 93,221 Sipin, John 202 Sissel, Debra 66,93,99, 111,112,221,287 Skarka, Gareth 103,218, 221 Slamin, Mark 60,95,248, 285 Slamin, Todd 204 Slezak, Sheryl 202 Sliffe, Melissa 8,40,41, 111,202 Smiley, Jonathan 26,44, 202 Smith, Angela 202 Smith, Anita 34,211,292 Smith, Carla 221 Smith, Carrie 221 Smith, Christopher 221 Smith, Cynthia 221 Smith, Darlene 202 Smith, Ethan 92,202 Smith, Eugene 221 Smith, Kellie 24,64,66,76, 85,248,272 Smith, Laura 248 Smith, Lori 60,202 Smith, Mark 221 Smith, Matthew 202 Smith, Naomi 186 Smith, Renee 245,248 Smith, Ronnie 62,63,88, 202 Smith, Stacey 3,17,24,31, 202,245,248,285,286 Sandstrom, Renee 96,202 Sandusky, Stacey 219 Sandusky, Steven 246 Sanjean, Iohn 202 Santoyo, Javier 60,202 Santoyo, Iuan 60,248 Sargent, Craig 219 Sasser, Lisa 170,219 Sawyer, Amanda 111,171, Schmidt 219,287 Schmidt Sax, Iulia 202 Schmidt Saxton, Suzanne 43,100, 202 212,219,291 Scarpa, Michael 21,23,79, 95,149,197,248,281 Schaffer, Pamela 41,202 Scheele, Bob 187,255 Scheele, Eric 248,253 Schlotzhauer, Shelly 219 Schmidt, Andrew 79,202 Schmidt, Christen 31,219 286,289 Schmidt, Schmidt, 248 Schmidt, 1 1 Cari? 57,86,221 Geo frey 86,95, john 79,248,285 Kari 202 Larry 88 Michael 57,87, Schoettker, Patrick 26,29, 43,87,203,233,235,248, 283 Scholler, Sandra 84,85, 221 Schooling, Schrepfer, Shawn 202 Iean 187 Schweiger, Mary 221,245 162 Fairs 106 Science Science Science Club 106 Science Fiction Club 218 Sciubba, Curt 248 Scott, Winston 132,187 Scudiero, Vincent 40,41, 85,87,108,111,119,165, 248 Seals, Stephanie 221,245 Sears, Richard 41,93,l12, 203,221,287 Seating Arrangement 260 Seawood, Charles 60,187, 248 Seawood, Chuck 88 Segale, Christopher 100, 221 Selby, Christine 92,248, 273 Selby, Kimberly 248,273 Seltzer, Carrie 15,48,101, 111,169,202 Senogles, Travis 57,202 Sereres, Rachelle 202 Sesto, Karen 34,202,294 Sexton, Michael 221 Seward, Freeman 204 Shamrock Office Supply 264 Sharbutt, Wendy 93,111, 203,248,249,275,285,291, 293,296 Sharp, Stephanie 203,248, 283 Shassberger, Robert 87,.

Q' gffi, T 1 ore challenges As the year came to a close, stu- dents kept measuring up. The dis- trict began its reorganization, and the teachers received their relocation notices. Seniors waited for possible acceptances to colleges, and the un- derclassmen enrolled for the upcoming year. Mid-day trips to the park became more frequent, as stu- dents found it harder to concentrate on their academic work. The spring brought more challenges, and kept the students measuring up. Students engaged in activities such as the talent show, fashion show, and school jam. Student Council officers were elected, journalism editors were appointed, and the cast of the spring play, Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream was chosen. Tryouts were held for flag team, drill team, cheer- leading, and the spring sports teams. . continued on page 309 ear's end brings exams, term papers, arid activities or students X, . 7' ' K' ' W' f ' ,, ' f, UO '96 Sr J fPR1ClES J aff :Ip afpefrf' weeiggqayi toufiin Texaco, fboaster prices i'beIQwffZ0 bww ,tw sailvrfwff altphfifeiibr Darren DvPfisSf2, tttt ,V W Vw I M W, x 'lf Regular I Self Serve I ' Unleaded ' Self Serve I Cigarettes 58.1-'iii CAR WASllwf'f Closing 307 IN THE BAND ROOM, Rachel Lopez rests before her next class. lphoto by Greg Gloshenj ff' gyf' 308 More challenges ore challen es , Y ai X SX ,r rf .

Students put in many extra hours to make their production as good as possible, or to help their chances of being selected to a team or group. The sports teams began practice with favorable weather. Tempera- tures in the sixties and seventies made practices more comfortable and enjoyable, and gave the coaches more practice time before the cuts were made. The boy's golf team had a large turnout coming off a state victory in 1985. The baseball team worked to improve on their 11-9 record, while the girls' swim and softball teams tried to better their respective fifth and fourth place league finishes of 1985.

As the weather warmed, the stu- dents took advantage of the change. They played Hac-y-Sac or frisbee in the back of the school, or took a drive to Shawnee Mission Park. Gas prices dipped below 75 cents per gallon, so a night out, or a leisurely drive became cheaper.

Five North- west students earned the honor of National Merit Finalist, helping their chances of being accepted to a more prestigious university.
