Rich in tradition Tradition. Community. Heritage. People. Legacy. Society. Legends. Old. New ... en- able SV students to STRIKE IT RICH! Tradition is defined as the handing down of information, beliefs and customs by word of mouth or by example from one genera- tion to another without written instruction. Clinton, Indiana and its surrounding com- munities have an abundance of traditional values. We have duplicated our parents be- liefs and customs since the day we were born, and it reflects in the community. SVHS has many traditions from the home- coming spirit week celebration to initiating the frightened freshman greenies at the First Nighter's Dance. Filling out white office cards is always a pain but a biannual tradition that occurs at the beginning of each semes- ter. Sophomores purchase class rings. Ju- niors deal with annoying magazine sales. Se- niors select graduation announcements, get measured for caps and gowns, and have se- nior pictures taken. High school is a tradition in itself. Our tradition and customs level is never low. The SV tradition is in infancy since we've only been in existence for ten years. There is a lot more to look forward to in the future, said Mr. Waugh. Clinton's most famed tradition is the Little Italy Festival which celebrated its twenty- first year in 1986. There is an assortment of activities surrounding this Labor Day cele- bration including grape stomping, the Wine Gardens, and the Italian Singers and Polka dancers. The Italian community of Clinton is well known for its abundance of Italian res- taurants. If spaghetti is what you enjoy, Clin- ton is the best place for this traditional treat. The Dana Fall Festival celebrates the life of the late, WW II veteran Ernie Pyle in August of each year. Somewhere, sometime there is always a traditional happening in Clinton or its sur- rounding communities. Tradition is some- times forgotten as being important, but it is an everpresent aspect of being a Clintonian. Kelly Gilman Ami Amerman, seated at one of Clinton's finest eating establishments, Berardineili's, enjoys the popular Italian dish of spaghetti and veal. The S V tradition is in infancy since we've only been in existence for ten years. There is a lot more to look for- ward to in the future. The Junior class netted over $10,000 dur- ing the three-week magazine drive. Mike Natalie collects money and organizes or- ders in the bookroom.

Steve Cvengros Year of discovery Innovation. Selection. Revelation. Deter- mination. Tradition. Option. Blend these words and you will obtain more than just words. You will have created what almost every student will experience — DISCOVERY for themselves and CHOICES to be made. Four years can give an individual the op- portunity to find new revelations. While freshmen were discovering their beginning year, the seniors were experiencing their last. Making new friends, accomplishing a difficult class, or preparing for college were the tasks which brought out our determina- tion. Once started, the decisions needed to be made never ceased. Trivial and crucial, nev- er-the-less, they had to be made. Choosing what lunch line to stand in, selecting what style of fashion to wear, or deciding among the many varieties of colleges were some ideas of our preferences. Faculty members, too, were involved with discovering new ideas and making decisions. One newcomer, Mr. Kirby, came to Clinton filled with curiosity and expectations. By be- ing the new assistant principal, he sought the optimistic aspects of S.V., The students are friendly. The guidance department really was supportive. The overall atmosphere in the halls has been pleasing. Some choices were more difficult than others, but despite the rough spots, we faced the challenges that were brought be- fore us and discovered new horizons which will lead us to STRIKE IT RICH . Angie Bonebrake Seniors Tom Vicars and Kenny Jackson re- ceive instructions from a student on how to operate a special drafting computing at ISU. OPENING 5 Michelle Timmons shows her dedication to the coquette squad during a flag routine at a halftime band performance. Dedicated to victory Victory. Dedication. Accomplishments. Goals. Conquest. Triumph. Tradition. There are standards that each individual sets when they arrive at SVHS. I wanted to turn the basketball program around four years ago. One of our goals we successfully completed was the '86 Sectional victory. This year pride and tradition is on our side, said head boys' basketball coach Tim Wolf. There are goals to strive for and merits to be earned when those goals are accom- plished. It could be struggling for four years at a 4.0 g.p.a. or an athletic scholarship. It takes self-motivation, encouragement, and a high regard for education to STRIKE IT RICH! Dedication and pride can be found in posters on the walls, homecoming floats, a victory in a sport or in the receiving of a diploma. Being the best you can be and striv- ing for recognition is all part of the academic tradition. Kelly Gilman “Climbing the Wall in '87 was the cho- sen theme for the traditional senior band. Chris Bash holds on to the crest of the wall. 6 OPENING Football games can bring out a need for togetherness — blankets. Many couples such as Steve Miller and Shayna Moulton, not only enjoy the bon- fire, but enjoy being together as well. STUDENT LIFE DIVISION 7 me n The alarm goes off at 6:30 a.m. Gradually you roll out of bed and go through the daily routine of getting ready for school, going to school, and coming home. This quite often seemed to be the only thing there was in your life. There's just absolutely nothing to do! Friday nights as well as various weeknights were usually occu- pied by sports events. This gave students a chance to support their teams and display their spirit. For others the weeked was a time to socialize and hang out with friends. Saturdays found many students at the mall, Pizza Hut, playing Putt-Putt, going to parties, or at night, cruising the Bash. Other well-known favor- ites included the dances, pep ses- sions, the fall play and the musical, prom, and graduation. Going to school and coming home isn't considered student life anymore. Spring Break, jobs, and friends broke the daily routine, and helped everyone strike it rich, in living their lives to the fullest. Tom Chambers crowns the 1986 Homecoming Queen Kylie Helt.

The customs only get better Homecoming tradition Adrenaline was flowing for the Homecoming game and dance. Not only were the football players pysched, but so was the entire student body. At halftime of the game, the Homecoming queen candidates and atten- dants were introduced. Before Homecom- ing week, each class had voted for the girl they wanted to represent them. Freshman attendant was Becky Berrisford, Chris Montgomery was the choice of the Sophomores, and Lisa Harris served as Junior atten- dant. The seniors elected three candidates for Home- coming queen, Donna Haase, Amy Harris, and Kylie Helt. Voting for the queen took place on Wednesday of Homecoming week, but the results were not known until Friday night when a very elated Kylie Helt was coron- ated. I was surprised and really excited when I heard my name ' Kylie said. The Wild- cat football team met a tough con- ference foe in the Attica Ramblers, and they were de- feated 41 to 12. Moonlight Memories were found Saturday night at the high school foyer for the Homecoming dance. The cheerleaders were sponsors of the dance that brought Homecoming Week 1986 to a captivating end. Nikki Overpeck '7 was surprised and really excited when I heard my name. Kylie Helt The 1986 Homecoming Queen and her court. Brian Luce, Becky Berris- ford, David Lubovich, Chris Mont- gomery, Tom Vicars, Lisa Harris, Queen Kylie Helt, Ronnie Ala- baugh, Amy Harris, Mike Shew, Donna Haase, and Kenny McMas- ters. HOMECOMING 19 10 Students strive for the best Homecoming competition Competitiveness while having fun was the dominant attitude among the student body during Homecoming Spirit Week. Each class worked together to show their spirit and support for the football team. Monday was Pajama Day and also poster competition with the imaginative work of the Sophomores capturing first place. Everyone, includ- ing many teachers, backed their favorite on College Day, and Wednesday found clothes re- versed for Inside Out Day. 60's outfits were abundant Thursday, and waves of tra- ditional black and gold filled the halls Friday. Class spirit was very evi- dent Wednesday night at the pep session and bonfire. The Seniors showed their stuff by winning the class cheer, boy's tug-of-war, and foot- ball dress. Senior Vince Car- levato proved he was the fastest banana eater around as he won his fourth straight pep rally eating contest. The Juniors were victorious in the girl's tug-of-war and pyr- amid building, before every- one dashed off to see the bonfire. The float competition took place during halftime of Friday's game. Each class had been working on their float for four weeks, and for the Seniors, the many hours of creativity paid off when their Take A Victory Ride On The Wildcat Express, float was awarded first place. Soph- omores took second, and Juniors were third. Al- though the Freshman float was damaged in a storm ear- lier in the day, they showed a lot of spirit by riding out on their wagon to cheer on the football team. Spirit week was a time when we all worked togeth- er toward common goals. Whatever our reasons for participating, spirit week will be remembered as one of the highlights of the school year. Nikki Overpeck This spirit week went really well. Gail Wright Gail Wright keeps an eye on her stuffed animals during P.J. dress up day of spirit week. The Senior float rolls to a win. Thus, the pace has been set for the re- mainder of the school year. Brian Luce, Shawn Wilson, Mike Frazier, Jeff Hastings, and Todd Goldner are encouraging the Junior girls to a tug-of-war victory. The true meaning of spirit week was shown by this year's Freshman class. Despite their misfortune, they came out and supported the football team. Members of the Freshman class are yelling for the football team. Class competition during the pep rally brought a high level of excitement. Sophomores Shayna Moulton dis- plays the agony of pyramid building, while Mika Craig, Lori Crossley, and Chris Montgomery try to stay on top. HOMECOMING 11 Many moods of Mrs. Perrin were displayed during the numerous rehearsals. Mrs. Sycamore took time out of her bizarre schedule to finish a painting she had started ten years ago. 12 FALL PLAY Gave Wellington the town drunk, portrayed by Cindy Ward clutches her bottle like a baby clutching a teddy bear. Chivalry is not dead. Tony drops on one knee to propose to Alice. The cast of You Can't Take It With You, includes, (front row) Mica Farrington, Brent Frazier, Cindy Ward, Chris Benskin, Lisa Rosko- vensky, Kristy Yager, (back row) Greg Strobel, Nancy Albin, Vince Carlevato, Brooke Overpeck, Phillip Harrison, Brian Farrington, Gail Wright, James Gamble, Andy Kirk- man, and Chris Howk. You can't take it with you Set for one Beads of sweat formed on my lips and my hands shook uncontrollably. I knew as soon as I opened my mouth noth- ing would come out ' commented junior Kristy Yager. Even though she had her doubts, Kristy man- aged to make it through the fall play, You Can't Take It With You. Opening night also brought with it many feel- ings, from paniac to being nauseous. Mica Farrington's comment was, I couldn't remember my lines before I went on. I knew I'd just make a fool of myself. Practice for the cast of eighteen and design of the sets began in late September and continued through dress rehearsal. The play was under the direction of Mrs. Judy Perrin. She was assisted by Mitzi Lewis and Chris Strobel. Sets were designed by Mrs. Dale Orman. You Can't Take It With You, was based on the zany adventures of the Sycamore family. The grandfather, Brent Frazier, was wanted by the I.R.S. Lisa Roskovensky played the mother, Penny, who was an ec- centric play- Kristy Yager wright. Chris Benskin was the father who happened to be a pyro- maniae. Mica Farrington was an overly energetic ballet dancer, Essie. She was the el- dest of the two daughters. The other daughter was por- trayed by Kristy Yager. She was engaged to the son of an extremely wealthy family. Mary Beardsley who at- tended the play comment- ed, I thought the play itself was funny, but the cast made it hilarious. With one outra- geous mishap after another, the play kept the audience in stitches. Lisa Roskovensky '7 knew as soon as I opened my mouth nothing would come out. You can never have too much pan- cake make-up. Phillip Harrison ap- plied the last finishing touches be- fore entering stage. The Sycamore family doesn't quite know how to view Mrs. Welling- ton's abilities. Making sure she will be to class on Sandy Alabaugh and Sandy Hatha- time, Michelle Moulton wears four way exhibit fashionable footwear swatches on her wrist. with colored Reeboks and ankle boots. 14 Fashions The average classroom re- sembled a scene from any fashion magazine. The girls looked as if they had just stepped off the cover of Vogue or Clamour, and boys that had jumped out of the pages of CQ. Not everyone felt comfortable in a Coca-Cola shirt, but every- one did catch the fashions that struck South Vermillion. Different strokes for dif- ferent folks. This certainly described some people who chose to wear vibrant and sometimes loud colors that could be seen (from two miles away) roaming the halls. A top priority for many students was what to wear each day. Levi 501 blue jeans and swatches were two of the many things few were seen without. The number one tennis shoes that went with every fashionable outfit were Ree- bok's. They could be seen running late into classrooms in various colors from pas- sionate pink to mint green. Not only did Reebok ten- nis shoes trample the school, the clothes Ree- bok made were also a popu- lar item. Being an American teen- ager is a major fashion re- sponsibility. Maintaining a wardrobe ranging from plaid preppy to a sophisticated Vogue look can be a costly venture. Boys and girls caught the wave of Coke clothes, oversized sweaters, shirts, and Swatch clothes. Mr. Wright told his first hour Reading For College class, This year it is going to be a fashion show in first hour. My favorite fash- ions this year are Guess Products. They look good and they make me feel good. — Ami Amerman Fashionable people FASHIONS 15 An exhibition of individuality is dis- played in John Kanizer's semi-mo- hawk haircut. S.V. students could often be found at the mall checking out the latest fashions in Coca Cola shirts. Fashion consciousness is not limited to ladies only. Kelcey Overpeck showed not only girls but guys joined in the fashion wave. Banana clips were a common sight but sometimes a problem keeping them anchored to your head. Misty Wright takes a few extra moments in the restroom to reposition her clip. One of the oldest traditional hang- outs is Wabash Avenue. Whether it's watching or being a part of the traffic, this site attracts many teens. Playing video games at the arcade in the mall is Jeff Kabbany. Paul Maurice and Brian Scott cheer him ob Farrington shows off his 1951 lodge Wayfarer. Some students onsider their car a second home. 16 HANGOUTS The hot spots were varied and numerous Places to see and be seen The TV listings confirmed it; nothing good to watch. You'd read every magazine in your house at least twice. Your stereo was broken, and your mom hadn't been gro- cery shop- ping for a week. No one was home for you to talk to, and your best friend was grounded from the phone. A teenager's worst nightmare: Stuck at home with nothing to do! Many locations became popular places to see and be seen. These included Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and the Dairy Queen. Of course these were mere eating es- tablishments to the un- trained eye, but a closer look usually revealed at least one group of students laughing and talking over pizza, tacos, or hot fudge sundaes. A major part of students' money was spent on ward- robe. What better place to buy all the latest fads then the mall? Many students spent hours browsing in the mall and walked miles in the process. Whether you were a clothesaholic'', and bookworm , or you just like the tast of Baskin Rob- bins ice cream, your inter- ests were sure to be satisfied. Others were devot- ed fans of the movie industry. For some, just seeing their favorite actor or actress' face on a movie poster was rea- son enough to see the mov- ie. With the movies came laughter, tears, and some- times even disappointment. Cruising became a nation- al pasttime a few years ago and its appeal has not been lost for many SV students. Wabash Avenue in Terre Haute provided the ideal strip for showing off cars, checking out the opposite sex, and just hanging out. There never seemed to be enough time for us. Our precious moments of free time were so few, just plan- ning where to go, what to do, and most important, what to wear was often as critical as studying for exams. Mitzi Lewis I love to go to Wa- bash because I meet lots of new and inter- esting people. Kyle Marshall The mall was a popular place for SV students to hang out. Brian Berris- ford checks out the latest in Bach- rach's. A school dance gives students a chance to dress up and have fun. Homecoming is the first semi-for- mal dance of the year sponsored by the cheerleaders. HANGOUTS 17 A time to socialize and dance Out on the town I like to be able to get dressed up and be with my friends at the dances, said senior Kris Hamilton. The Christmas and Sweet- heart dances were two of the three semi-formal dances stu- dents were able to at- tend. Getting able to get all dressed up and go out, was one of the bonuses of at- tending the dances. The dances also gave some students a prestigious honor. Senior Mike Jones was crowned the 1986 Christmas King and Brenda Frazier and Jim Lucas were named sweethearts for the Valen- tines Day dance. Dances gave students a time to get together and for- get about the daily routine of school. Most students en- joyed going out to eat be- fore attending the dances. The popular restaurants were Richard's Town House, Western Ribeye, and the Beef House. The semi- formal dances were not the only time to relax and have fun, but there were also the monthly dances af- ter some ball games. These dances were attended by anyone who wanted to join in the excitement. No dress codes were re- quired, just anything that enabled you to move worked great. Jamming to the music or just socializing, the dances brought a more relaxed at- mosphere to the foyer. One which was present only too seldom. — Lisa Roskovensky 1 like to be able to get dressed up and be with my friends at the dances. — Kris Hamilton Couples Tom Chambers, Marcy Dalsasso, Mike Natalie and Roxanne Mediate take time out to relax and have refreshments at the Christmas dance. Refreshments were provid- ed by members of the student council. Brian Mankin and Missi Stickland share refreshments together at the Sweetheart dance. Teresa Debord, Jon Beardsley, Joe Carver, Scott Craig, Stacey Vitan- iemi, and Scott Williams enjoy themselves by sitting a few dances out and socializing with friends. 18 DANCES Student council member Tonya McCullough crowns the Christmas king Mike jones. Selecting a Christ- mas k i r tradition, Sweetheart couples Dennis Smith, Nancy Meadors, Les- lie Taylor, and Paul Maurice anxiously await the an- nouncement of the 1987 Sweetheart Couple. The 1987 class Sweethearts are: (freshman) Michelle Cappa, Adam Tickle, (junior) Valerie Saquenetti, Dan Shew, (sophomore) Jim Lucas, Brenda Frazier, (senior) Amy Foltz, and David Lubovitch. The honor of being named Sweetheart Couple is re- ceived by Sophomores Bren- da Frazier and Jim Lucas. DANCES 19 Michelle Timmons and Michelle Moulton enjoy the music at the Lit- tle Italy Dance. The Little Italy Festi- val was one of the highlights of the year for the entire community. Mike Battaglia talks on the tele- phone. Conversations range from weekend plans to all the latest news. Mary Cuel and John Cinotto discuss an important subject. Spending spare time with friends often make the time more enjoyable. 20 Spare Time Dale and Misty Wright drill their ponies over an obstacle course, while their father observes.

There is life other than school Spare time revives All right! No homework, no jobs! Although these words might have rarely flowed from the mouths of SV students, when they did, they were accompanied by feelings of happiness. Even if leisurely activities like watch- ing TV, lis- tening to music, talk- ing on the phone, read- ing, and spending time with friends were favorites, many students opted for more dynamic in- terests. Recreational sports took up a big part of students free time. In this area, basketball was a favorite. Even those students who were not on a team liked to shoot around. Other popular athletic choices were tennis and swimming. For the out- doorsman, three-wheeling, horseback riding, and hunt- ing were preferred activities. Some pastimes had a more domestic flavor. Budding cooks liked to try their hand at different edible cre- ations, while some busied their cre- ative hands with a thread and needle. Those with an artistic flair spent their time work- ing on a variety of projects. No matter what students did, they valued their spare time and spent it involved with the activities that gave them the most pleasure. Nikki Overpeck Spare time gives students a break from their strenuous labor. Shawn Merrifield During lunch students catch up on their reading. Reading materials range from the yearbook to maga- zines. SPARE TIME 21 Basketball Fever Hits S.V. Hoosier Hysteria Support for the Wildcat team peaked for the Sullivan vs. S.V. game and for sec- tionals. The game against Sullivan was designated WPFR-Pepsi Hoosier Hysteria night. Area schools, including S.V., par- ticipated in a contest spon- sored by WPFR radio station and Pepsi. Points were given for posters, ban- ners, Pepsi ap- parel, and at- tendance with the winning school receiving a free dance. Students from ele- mentary through high school levels designed post- ers to make the event a big success. South Vermillion earned 33,850 points and was beaten by only one school, North Central. High school basketball tournaments arrived in March. Since the S.V. game was on Wednesday, section- al week was shortened with Monday being Beach- comber day, Pajama day on Tuesday, and Wednesday, traditional Black and Gold day. South Ver- million drew Terre Haute North in the first round at Hulman Cen- ter. The Wildcat team played hard, but was beaten 86-54, to bring an end to another winning season. Nikki Overpeck The Pepsi con- test brought out our true school spirit. Shelley Sharp Coquette, Bobbie Lindsay, is assist- ed by a large chicken during the half-time show.

Encouraging posters filled the school. Art student, Mitzi Lewis, places the finishing touch on Lisa Ball's face painting. This was one way fans wore the Pepsi and Wildcat logo. Mike Shew fights for the ball. Shew provided senior leadership for the team. Coach Hoff, Coach Wolf, Rob Far- rington, and Kirk Rohr concentrate on the sectional game. The Wildcats were defeated by Terre Haute North. Seats were hard to find at Hulman Center during sectionals. A large crowd came out to cheer on the Wildcats. Swimmer Tracey Thomas does a leaping exercise to improve his muscle tone. Weights provided a welcome relief from aquatic work- outs. Mike Taylor slams the ball through the hoop.

It was rare to find the gym empty with boys', girls', and freshman basketball teams all practicing long hours. Wres- tlers started training for their four-month season before Thanksgiving, and the boy swimmers averaged nearly 7,000 yards a day until their season ended in February. With spring came a variety of activities. Members of the ..... . . , track team All the practice for worked-out band paid off when we daily, rain or got first. shine. The Yolanda Kelly und of ball hitting bat was doubled when the girls' softball team began practic- ing in addition to the base- ball teams. Preparations for the musical started in Janu- ary, two months prior to the show. Members of the golf and tennis team also worked many hours refining their skills. Although practices were difficult, both mentally and physically, for most, the hard work was worth it. Nikki Overpeck The many fine perfor- mances achieved by South Vermillion's athletic teams, music department, and per- forming arts ensembles came only after weeks of hard work and practice. Before most students had even thought about school, the dedicated members of the band, and the football, cross-country, boy's tennis, volleyball, and girls' swim teams had already returned to begin practice. The band and co- quettes drilled dili- gently on their State Fair show and marching technique. The cross country, tennis, and football teams had to endure extremes of temperature during their grueling work- outs. The volleyball girls suf- fered bumps and bruises en- route to their sectional title, while the girls' swim team had two practices a day until their season ended in No- vember. September brought fall play practices that con- tinued for more than six weeks. The winter sports prac- Track member Dan Shew clears the high hurdles with ease. Kathy Vicars and Jenny Scheller take a break from preparing for the play. “Once Upon a Mattress Medieval Mischief Mr. Roberts put his finger to his lips. Mrs. Perrin spoke reassuring words of encour- agement. As the volume de- creased, the butterflies in stomachs soared. This was the mo- ment the cast and crew of the spring musi- cal, Once Upon a Mat- tress , had spent grueling hours prepar- ing for. The medieval fairy tale told of a wicked queen (Lisa Roskovensky) who tried to prevent her only son, Prince Dauntless the Drab (Greg Strobel), from entering into wedlock. Luckily, Princess of the Swamp, Winnifred the Woebegone (Gail Wright) came to his aid. The queen devises a series of sure-she-will-fail tests for Winnifred, which she must pass before she can marry Dauntless. After pass- ing the usual elimination tests she then must face the ultimate challenge. The queen places a pea under twenty mattresses hoping Winnifred will not feel it and fail the test. But as all fairy tales have a happy ending, this one is no ex- ception. The knights and ladies of the kingdom stuff the mattress with joust- ing equipment, so Winnifred passes the test, marries Dauntless, and everyone (ex- cept the queen) lives happily ever after. Though a lot of hard- work, effort, and sacrifice of free time was devoted by ev- eryone involved, it was well worth it. The cast left the stage with the sound of thunderous applause ringing in their ears and both relief and sadness that the perfor- mance was over. Mitzi Lewis It was well worth the time spent practicing for the audience's laughter and applause.

'A warm spring night, Lefer hall, black and pink balloons with streamers, and a band provides all the ingredients to create an inti- mate mood for dancing. The king and queen of the 1987 prom: Tom Vicars and Jackie Lucas. The coronation ceremony was one of the highlights of prom. A night of enchantment More Than Just A Moment Small groups of girls filled the halls with their chatter. Boys made note of how much the big event was go- ing to cost them. Dates were made. Dresses and accesso- ries were carefully chosen. Tuxes were rented. Din- ner reserva- tions were made. Flow- ers were or- dered. Final- ly it arrived. It was Prom Night. Those in attendance gathered in an elegant balloon-filled ballroom at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods college after enjoying a sumptuous dinner. Fan- fare provided an atmo- sphere which found many couples gently swaying to the beat. The coronation ceremony brought candidates anxious- ly awaiting the crowning. Honors were bestowed upon Jackie Lucas and Tom Vicars as queen and king re- spectively. The evening was really just beginning as the prom came to an end. Junior class par- ents greeted promgoers at the high school at 1:00 a.m. An Indy 500 theme was cho- sen for the post-prom festiv- ities. For those who still had energy to burn, Turkey Run State Park offered a place to get away on Sunday af- ternoon. Many chose to go with the flow and rent canoes. Others could be found ex- ploring the trails. Just for a Moment , the theme of the 1987 prom, was an event that would be remembered for years to come. Mitzi Lewis Prom was an expe- rience; never have I seen so many Prince Charmings and Cinder- ella look-alikes gath- ered in one room. Walt Disney would have been proud. Kristi Boardman A long line forms as students wait for their pictures to be taken. Pho- tographs would keep the memories of prom alive. Nine days of freedom Breaking loose Lying on a beach with the sun shining down on you, and the roar of the waves echoing softly was consid- ered an ideal vacation. Some stu- dents however, weren't as for- tunate and didn't make it to the sunny beaches of Florida, or South Carolina. This didn't stop some from getting that desired tan. They found tan- ning at the salons gave them an appearance of spending a week in Florida. Working, sleeping until twelve, or catching up on the soaps were the lifestyles some students fell back into during Spring Break. Other students did man- age to make it out of state. The French department took a group of 26 students, and spent the week in Mon- treal and Quebec, Canada. This gave those students on hand experi- ence in speak- Break was a ing a foreign escaping the city limits. Even if it was going to Indy to shop, or a weekend in Chi- cago, it enabled students the chance to relax and enjoy their Spring Break.

Many faces expressed joy, sorrow, and anticipa- tion as the stu- dents took their places. Not only was it a time of excitement, but a time to reflect on the past four years at S.V.H.S. Seniors felt the joy of going out into a new world and the sorrow of leaving behind teachers and friends. Senior Robert Slover commented, The day of graduation I was re- lieved, but I'll miss some of the people from school. Valedictorian Amy Harris stood in front of her fellow classmates and friends when she gave her farewell speech. Stacey Myers gave her salutatorian speech as an opening. Then the moment they had spent four years prepar- ing for finally arrived. The first name was called to re- ceive their di- ploma and a few tears along with smiles could be seen from the surrounding faces. As the nervous and elated hands reached out and re- ceived their diplomas, not only were they ending a high school career, but entering into a new world. Lisa Roskovensky It was kind of sad to leave high schoolbut I was glad to leave. Mark Stewart Stacey Myers presents her salutato- rian speech to the class of '87.

GRADUATION 33 Involvement takes time, e Organization by definition is something that has been orga- nized and functions as a whole; a group united by a common inter- est or goal. Many SV students chose to be a part of an organization which re- quired giving up their precious free time hours and putting in more for the school, and them- selves. A wide variety of activities were offered throughout the school from publications to honor societies. Students pulled togeth- er to make their activity special. Being involved with an organi- zation has its benefits according to Mrs. Pilipovich who comment- ed, Organizations add another dimension to the student learning environment. It provides an op- portunity for achieving responsibi- lity, time management, improving leadership abilities, and working harmoniously in a group. Overall there are many organi- zations in which students can par- ticipate in. All it takes is a lot of hard work and willing students.

Meet the press Spread the news Attention Wildcat reporters, your stories are posted on the board in the j-room. Editorials, surveys, games, facts,and feature stories. All of these items are comprised to cre- ate our school newspaper; the Wild- cat. The Wildcat is published 14 times a year and in each publication it pre- sents new and exciting stories. The stories revolve around the students and the events that occur at SV. Diverse was an excellent way to describe the group of students that created the newspaper staff. Each staffer contributed their own indi- viduality which provided a unique blend of ideas. The editor-in-chief this year was Anna Finger. Front page responsibil- ities went to Lisa Ball and Mary Beardsley, Feature page to Nancy Al- bin and Sara Fleskett, and Sports page to Brian Gilman and Butch Crossley. The Wildcat is self-supporting through ads from patrons in our community and student purchase. Designing ads were Stacey Myers and Erica Felix's staff positions. Last but certainly not least there were the reporters who put forth their time and effort to write stories for the paper. The reporters were: Mica Farrington, Lisa Harris, Becky Hollers, Kristi Boardman, Jon Spurr, Ron Baysinger, Vince Carlevato, Julia Marshall, Rob Farrington, Lori Cross- ley, Heidi Bruce, Amy Costello, Jen- ny Harris, Jenny Scheller, and Daniel Thomas. Advisor, Mrs. Hawkins, said, The quality of their work is excellent and I feel we have put out good papers.

Old Gold and Black Capturing the memories with class Is it possible to fail yearbook? This was a commonly asked question among yearbook staff members, es- pecially returning ones, after they found out that starting in the 1986- 87 school year, yearbook would be considered an academic class. The purposes behind making yearbook a class were to help pro- vide a better quality book, and to set more uniform guidelines. When asked what she thought about year- book as a class, Misty Wright replied, It's a good class, especially on party days when we meet our deadlines. The main idea of the book was to focus on the community and its tra- ditions and to document the school year in full. Along with the new theme, Strike It Rich , and the new class itself, the yearbook staff also put forth a larger book, containing a new section called a mini mag. It took many hours of designing and making alterations, to make the yearbook and the class come togeth- er. According to adviser, Mrs. Chrzastowski, Even though there have been many headaches with the transition, I really feel the whole venture has been worthwhile. It's a situation where we can only benefit. Annette Donoho 36 YEARBOOK One of Kylie Hell's necessities when working on a preliminary layout is having lots of room.

Quill Scroll and Thespians Delivering the lines Quill and Scroll and Thespians are both societies that honored special talents. Each organization held their initiation ceremonies during the first week of May. Quill and Scroll, sponsored by Mrs. Chrzastowski and Mrs. Haw- kins, is a national organization for outstanding high school junior and senior journalists. Inductees, initiat- ed at Mrs. Hawkins' house in a can- dlelight ceremony, recited an oath to uphold journalistic values then re- ceived their pins. Following the cer- emony, Quill and Scroll members dined at Western Ribeye. The Thespian Society, open to stu- dents who accumulate ten points through the participation in play and musical productions, held their initi- ation ceremonies on May 9th at the home of Mrs. Perrin. After receiving Thespian pins and reciting the Thes- pian speech, members picnicked at Collett park. Whether it was for journalistic tal- ents or theatrical performances, S.V. students were both recognized and honored for their exceptional work.

Honor Society Setting The Pace National Honor Society, spon- sored by Miss Mason, and Student Council, sponsored by Mr. Blake and Mrs. Turchi are organizations that are composed of a select few. They both contain students with leader- ship abilities that are similar yet dif- ferent. National Honor Society displays academic leadership with members being selected through teacher eval- uation on Leadership, Scholarship, Character, and Service. Student Council, on the other hand, deals with a social kind of leadership where students vote on who they think will best represent the student body as a whole. National Honor Society is an aca- demic honorary organization that is based on a one night recognition ceremony. Student Council is a so- cial honorary organization that sponsors many school activities such as the Christmas dance, fund raising events, and student elections. Whether their leadership was aca- demic or social, students in National Honor Society and Student Council led the represented South Vermil- lion.

Rarely a function happened that the Cadet Corp, the official host hostess group of the school, was not present. Mrs. Anderson and Mr. Waugh sponsored the Corp. There was hardly a function going on that a Ca- det Corp member was not seen lending their helping hand. Mem- bers donning the traditional black and gray Cadet Corp uniforms could be seen at sporting events, school plays and musicals, principal confer- ences, elementary Christmas pro- grams, eighth grade orientation and the open houses. Members of the Corp performed various duties from handing out pro- grams and greeting visitors at the building, to conducting tours for in- coming students. The Cadet Corp and the work they did was an impor- tant part of South Vermillion. Helping educate students and the community regarding the dangers of drinking and driving and helping eliminate the drunk driver in order to save lives were the main goals for South Vermillion's S.A.D.D. chapter. S.A.D.D. was sponsored by Mrs. Liebler. S.A.D.D. most definitely accom- plished their goals through the activ- ities they sponsored. S.A.D.D. pub- lished many articles in the Clintonian, the school paper, and the school newsletter informing stu- dents and parents of the conse- quences of drinking and driving. Students Against Driving Drunk also made known the harsh reality that every 13 minutes a teenager is killed in a drunk driving accident when on December 16th S.A.D.D. Day was observed. On this day, many students were pinned with a black ribbon and could not speak or be spoken to. These students repre- sented all of the teenagers from schools around the country that were killed in a drunk driving acci- dent. By activities such as these, S.A.D.D. made students aware of the severity of driving drunk and possi- bly saved a classmate's life in the process. While S.A.D.D. saved lives through their drinking and driving awareness program, S.T.O.P. helped with the troubles in students' lives. The S.T.O.P. group (Sounding- boards and Tutors for Our Peers), sponsored by Mrs. Pilipovich, pro- vided many unique services to the student body. S.T.O.P. members of- ten were turned to as a source of help for students having trouble in a particular class. Members of S.T.O.P. were also relied upon as simply someone who cared and had time to lend an ear. The S.T.O.P. group was definitely qualified for their year-long respon- sibilities. Many hours were spent at- tending training sessions where lis- tening, tutoring and study skills were developed. S.T.O.P. provided much appreciated assistance to a countless number of students during the 1986- 87 school year.

Cindy Rodert, Char- leen Ford, and Sandi Alabaugh diligently prac- tice a concert piece. Concert marching bands play with style The beat goes on . . Put your heel down and roll your feet were words that the S.V.H.S. band heard more than once during marching season. The season began with a new ex- perience: A week long band camp which taught inexperienced band members how to march. The camp ended with a small show for the par- ents and a cookout. The Marching Wildcats put in many hours of practice for the com- petitions, but unfortunately they did not do as well at State Fair and the Newport Hillclimb Parade as they had hoped. Along with these events, performances were given at all home football and basketball games. From marching season, the band crescendoed into concert season, where syncopated and punchy tones were traded for soft, melodic ones. Concert band consisted of two smaller bands. Symphonic and Wind Ensemble, in place of the one large band. Both bands were of high quality musically with many expectations placed on them by the conductors, Mrs. Gibbs and Mr. Roberts. One of Mrs. Gibbs' favorite mot- tos that she applied to the band was coming together is a beginning, keeping together is a progress, and working together is a success.

Marching season practice enabled band stu- dents to get outside into the sunshine. i Performing arts thrive Song and dance Choir members practice their various parts in a concert song. Many hours were spent in preparation for the ISSMA contest. Choir members display their choral talents at the Christmas concert. The choir performed in various concerts and functions throughout the year. If one were to ask Ms. Fisher or Mr. Roberts what they expect from their respective groups of perform- ers, undoubtedly the reply would be an emphatic a lot . Sheer hard work, determination, and dedication provided the backbone of both the Choir and Coquettes. The Coquettes, consistsing of 18 high energy performers, kept them- selves more than busy throughout the course of the year. The Co- quettes, under the leadership of captain Lisa Roskovensky, provided unique entertainment at half-times of football and basketball games, as well as enhancing parades in the sur- rounding areas. The ISU Homecom- ing, Little Italy Festival, Santa Claus, and Newport Hill Climb parades were all complimented by the atten- dance of the Coquettes. Along with performing at sporting events and parades, the Corp found time to conduct a Coquette Clinic, Car wash, Bowl-A-Thon, and candy sales. Those activities were conduct- ed in an effort to raise money to fi- nance a trip to Washington D.C. to march in the 4th of July parade. While the Coquettes were busy dancing and marching to music, the Choir was busy making music. Forty- five students felt compelled to join Choir for the 86-87 school year. Robin Evol stated, I've been in Choir for three years, and it has been a lot of fun for me. But perhaps the entire Choir's feelings were encompassed by Erin Hart who simply stated, Because I love to sing. Members of the Choir certainly had the chance to pursue their de- sire to sing. During the year, the Choir could be found performing at the Tri Kappa Festival, the Turkey Run Choral Festival, Graduation, var- ious nursing homes, the Christmas and Spring concerts, as well as com- peting on April 11th in the Indiana State School Music Association orga- nizational contest. Both the Choir and Coquettes provided an outlet for expressing oneself. The Coquette's actions spoke equally as loud as the Choir's words. — Lori Waugh 46 COQUETTES, CHOIR Coquette members include front row, Brooke Overpeck, Jenny Harris, Lisa Roskovensky, Lisa Harris, Carla Spaulding, Su- san Rumple, Traci Vitanremi, and Allison Lamb.

Of course, anwers varied. But once they arrived at school, everyone was tuned into South Vermillion's exclu- sive radio station, WCAT. Every morning before school, WCAT supplied the student body with current music hits. Each morn- ing could be expected to be differ- ent, depending upon who's day it was to do the morning show. Disc Jockey's interets varied from hard rock to classic, and sometimes even touched upon such golden oldie fa- vorites as Happy Trails To You . These diverse interests provided the student body with a wide variety of music. WCAT also provided morning announcements which gave stu- dents valuable information on col- lege rep visits, sporting events, etc. Ms. Gambiani was the sponsor of WCAT and stated, WCAT provides an excellent opportunity for stu- dents to learn broadcast journalism. South Vermillion is the only school in the six country area that has an in- school radio station.

Their interests were different and so were their reasons for being there. Some were there to learn, some to play sports, some to have fun, and some just to fulfill State require- ments. Whatever the reason, they would shape the history of SVHS for 1987. And so the school year began. Dreams came and went. Friend- ships were made and ended. The students grew together to form a family as the day to day routine of school work wore on. With each passing day they were one step closer to the end. Their lives would soon change. They would go their different di- rections and their paths might never cross again, but for now they were together. An uncom- mon blend of people sharing only one thing, SVHS. — Misty Wright Letter jackets, showing SV pride As the winter season approached, letter jackets were brought out once again. The students displayed their letter jackets with the feelings of pride, accomplishment and school spirit. Any student may purchase his her own jacket, but the S.V. letter, a chevron, and numerals which showed the athletes year of gradua- tion are given by the athletic director. Although earning the S.V. letter carries the most important to the athlete and is worn on the left front of the jacket, conference and sec- tional patches, special awards and medals were also displayed with pride. The personal accomplish- ments reached by the athlete is evi- dent when looking at the gold and black letter jackets.

Whether it's as a senior athlete, actor or ac- tress, or just being a student; everyone must decide what goals are most important to be accomplished during their final year. The many long hours in practice, rehearsals and study halls, began to pay off in the end. Childhood dreams of being a profes- sional dancer, artist, or in- ventor required the practice and the dedication which may mean marathon study hours, or giving up leisure time. Many members of the class of '87 made choices that required they pour their heart and soul into their dreams. From professional dancing to state competi- tion, the desire to be better and the daring to be more, required some sacrifices. — Kylie Helt Mike Shew touches off a jump shot in a victorious effort against Shaka- mak.

Senior Mike Kelley shows com- plete control over his adversary on the way to one of his 25 victories. Kelley ended his season with a re- gional championship and an out- standing 25-1 record. Dare to be more Just one step away from accomplishing our goals. What is it like to know you are one of the best? For some, people, the feeling comes after aceing a big test, or for others, it is the knowledge they have the cutest girlfriend around. But for an entirely different group of people, achievement is measured in terms of athletic success. Becky Woodard is one of these hard-working athletes. Although Becky has been a successful diver on the high school team for four years, her victories have not stopped there. For the past two years, Becky has participated in the 15-17 year old age group, one meter girl's diving portion of the Indiana White River Park State Games. Last year, Becky's former coach Paul Allen, introduced her to the games, but this time, she was on her own. In order to be in top form for the competi- tion, Becky spent three months training. All but one week of that time, when she attended a diving camp at Ball State Uni- versity, Becky was diving with- out instruction from a coach. Self-motivation was not al- ways easy. Becky had no other divers to train with and chal- lenge her as she was accus- tomed to. Flowever, Becky said, My Mom and Dad really helped keep me going! My Brother Neil and a friend, Mike Tucker, also helped keep my enthusiasm running high! The end of July saw Becky at the diving regionals at Ben Da- vis High School in Indianapolis. The three divers in each divi- sion earned the honor of mov- ing on to state coimpetition. The many hours she put in at the pool were well spent. Becky placed third and was go- ing to dive in the finals. Twelve girls from the entire state of Indiana converged at the Indiana University Natatori- um for the final round of com- petition. Becky not only had to concentrate on her dives, but she also had to block out the swimming and other diving fin- als that were taking place at the same time. Becky finished with a sixth place performance against the best divers from all of Indiana, but in the spirit of a person striving for the best, she com- mented, I could have done better! And for a dedicated diver like Becky Woodard, per- fection is just one more dive away. Nikki Overpeck Becky Woodard exhibits her excellent form as she does an inward in the pike position.

To be elected as the Student Body President, you must first be nominated by one of the student council members.

A further goal is to try to buy a digital announcement board for the school to list upcoming games and activities. What I'd like to see next year after I'm gone, is more school spirit, to have the Hall of Fame started and a trophy case for the Academic Award win- ners installed. Cheeker Wal- drop quoted.

Leaders Being a senior comes with many privileges but becom- ing a leader is more than just a privilege. Being a senior athlete or band captain, or an editor, valedictorian or salutorian are all honors which are held mostly by se- niors. These responsibilities are important and require dedication, leadership and time. Annette Donoho stated her feelings about being a drum major. Having the re- sponsibilities of being a drum major has been a very important learning experi- ence for me. It has taught me responsibility, leadership and has shown me that con- ducting is not as easy as it looks! Leaders are much looked up to by underclassmen as well as peers. Being a senior leader is something to be proud of. — Kylie Helt Leading the class of 1987 are class officers, (top to bottom) Donna Hasse; president, Ami Amerman; Vice-pres., Amy Harris; secretary, and Kelly Gilman, treasurer.

Thinking towards the future Preparing for graduation be- gan in August. The ordering of graduation announcements and being measured for caps and gowns were activities most seniors participated in for grad- uation. Seniors decided on plans pri- or to graduation for the future. Consulting with counselors for college applications and schol- arship information, visiting with college representatives from desired schools to discuss re- quirements or talking with a military representative about possible programs to receive a good future education helped one to make these important decisions. Although graduation will bring an end to the carefree lives the teens once led in high school, on graduation day, high school is over, but the memo- ries still live on. Kylie Helt Seniors Butch Crossleyand Kris Hamil- ton evaluate college handbooks and applications in the counseling center. Many college representatives visited S.V. to help students make decisions about colleges. Mrs. Pilipovich discusses SAT dead- lines with senior Becky Emory. The SAT is taken by most seniors as a require- ment for college admission. Final choices Important decisions for the future. Mom, can I borrow $1102? Believe it or not, Seniors have expenses that could probably cover a down payment on a new car! A senior year is not all fun and games. Have your calcula- tor handy and your checkbook opened because the average Senior spends approximately $1102. Of course, parents may con- tribute by flipping the bill which puts some senior minds at ease. However, some have to pay for it all right out of their own pocket. David Bishop commented, Well, it was kind of a strain at the time. One Announcement ordering is an impor- tant task done before graduation. This Herff Jones representative explains the ordering process. good thing, I get to keep all the money I get from graduation gifts!

Going the extra mile Juniors were faced with new challenges and obsta- cles last year. Worrying about the PSAT and SAT un- nerved the college bound students. Required classses increased the amount of homework, and a six weeks of Job Skills offered juniors a look in the future. Suddenly, a CPA meant more than a capitalized phrase. Grades were careful- ly watched, a plus or minus could make the difference. More effort was put forth in academic achievement than ever before. Starting in January, plans for Prom were beginning to surface. Money raised from magazine sales went into decorations and other ar- rangements. Class of 88 worked togeth- er to reach goals, and go that extra mile.

This rally occurred in try- ing to sign up for the library during study hall. The library is an all-around nicer place to be than the cafeteria. You are allowed to talk and there are always plenty of interesting maga- zines. For these reasons and others the race to the sign- up sheet became a serious matter. Only 25-30 openings were available so one must be quicker than the compe- tition. There were basically three techniques in obtain- ing entrance into this haven from boredom. Many just adjusted their morning wake-up time to get to school early enough to get signed up. These people could be found hovering like vultures in front of the library doors, waiting for them to be un- locked to make a mad dash for the sign up sheet. Others, the late sleepers, simply asked one of the early risers who took library sign- ing up seriously, to write their name down for them. Those who chose not to sprint to the library first thing, or took advantage of those who did, often ended up seeing a completely filled sheet. These people relied on their bargaining and pleading techniques to be permitted into the library. Of course they tried to write down their name even if there weren't any spaces. Names were frequently squeezed between the origi- nal 30 allowed in. Then the rest of the morning was set aside to start their pleading to Ms. Gambiani for en- trance into her kingdom. By the time your study hall hour rolled around, you had the relaxed atmosphere of the library to look forward to and enjoy. Lori Waugh For Tom Vicars, Jack Coonce and many other students the library was a haven of rest and relax- ation; a place to kick back .

These were just a few of the re- cords and magazines the ju- nior class sold. The juniors asked rela- tives, friends, neighbors, and strangers to buy magazines or records. From Sept. 29th to Oct. 13th, no one was safe. It seemed, however, the junior class would never reach its goal of $8,000. On Friday, three days before sales ended, $2,000 was brought in. By Monday the last day of sales $9779.98 had been raised. Top salesman, Kris McLeish, brought in $504.13 of the $9789.98. The junior class received $3720.19. Efforts were rewarded with key chains, mugs, stuffed bears, records, and blankets.

You have now spent six hours in the mall with charge it being two of your most frequently used words. When you finally realize you have gone over mom's limit, it's time to stop.

They chose Heidi Bruce (V-Pres.), Allison Lamb (Treas.), Billie Graham (Pres.), and Jenny Harris (Sec.). Sophomores: stepping up The sophomore class start- ed the year with a feeling of pride and confidence. They were no longer greenies worried about getting lost or forgetting their locker com- binations. They had survived their freshman year. They were now looking forward to making their sophomore year successful. The year held different dreams for everyone. Some members of the sophomore class decided to participate in the many sports offered while others joined the casts and crews of the stage pro- ductions. Still others occu- pied their free time by join- ing band, coquettes, and many other organizations. many other organizations. Academics were also im- portant to the sophomore class. In the end of their freshman year they signed up for classes. It was a hard decision for many of them. When scheduling was done, the classes they had taken ranged from accounting to zoology. The sophomores were a welcome addition wherever they went. From the class- room to the court to the stage, they had become an important part of the school and the school had become an important part of them.

Stacey Ste- phens saddles up for her daily ride. Horsin' around Stacey and Stephanie Ste- phens hardly ever see eye to eye. But there is one thing ey both enjoy and that is orses. They started showing their uarter horses four years o through 4-H. It took a lot f hard work, and last year it aid off. They were both nosen for State. There are two things that they will never forget about going to State. Stacey was to get off her horse and circle it, but when she did the horse turned and walked away. She got it back by grabbing its tail. Stephanie's was a little more embarrass- ing. She forgot to tighten her saddle and they both bit the dust. They both enjoy showing and plan on making it part of their career.

With a quick test and a bright flash it was over. You had it: your driver's license. Getting a driver's license is one of the most exciting parts of the year. It seems to symbolize freedom. Parents and friends were no longer relied upon for transporta- tion. With a car it seemed the world was yours. Even going to the store or picking up brothers or sisters was an adventure. It required more than just reading the driver's manuel to get your driver's license. It meant spending hours be- hind the wheel going around the block and prac- ticing the dreaded parallel parking. It also required en- durance to survive the slaps, screams, jolts, jars, and close calls. The teacher seemed as much a part of the car as the steering wheel and some- times you wondered if you would ever solo. However, after you had your driver's license you knew your life would never be the same. You had won the confidence of the law, more or less, and with a little luck you would have the confidence of your parents. You could now take the car and cruise, hopefully avoid- ing moving telephone poles and ditches. Misty Wright Obtaining a license is a big shift for sopho- mores. Angie Yelich adjusts her mirror for a better view.

They sold the large sponge-like hands at the game. This provided a very successful Christmas Dance. The Freshman Student Council members are as fol- lows: Amy Costello, Beth Sanquenetti, Dani Ferguson, Teresa DeBord and Becky Berrisford. These girls plus the class officers led the Class of 1990 to an exciting and successful year.

Have you noticed a stu- dent here at S.V. zooming around on a small motorcy- cle about five minutes be- fore the bell rings each day? If you have, it would be freshman, Judy Kuhn. Judy's handicap of being a dwarf has limited some of her activities but not all of them. Judy will never be a basketball star, but she has other activities to keep her busy. She is involved in J.A., 4-H, the girls ensemble and she works at the Vermillion Co. Hospital. She was also elected V. Pres, of the fresh- man class. Judy said I was so amazed. I couldn't believe it. I was happy too, after hear- ing she was elected V. Pres. Judy has made many ad- justments in high school. When starting school she used a wheel chair to make traveling from class-to-class easier. Fortunately now she has a 'Phony' which is like a small motorcycle that runs on a battery, it is easier and quicker than a wheel chair. Judy wasn't the only one that had to make some changes, the school did too. In the girls locker room they low- ered a mirror especially for her. They also made steps by the water fountains in the hallways so she could reach them with no trouble. High school is a very im- portant part of Judy's life, as it would be to any teenager. Judy noted, I want to cause alot of trouble in high school so I can laugh about it later on. She plans to further her education after high school hoping to become an astron- omer or architect. Caught by surprise is freshman, Judy Kuhn with her battery operated 'Phony.'

With 24 different sports at the Varsity, Junior Varsi- ty, and Freshmen levels, the num- ber of people involved made up over 41% of the student body. Being an athlete lets one feel as though they have achieved some- thing; something to be proud of and share with family and friends. Athletics provide an outlet for positive experiences, enabling those invovled to feel they are ca- pable of anything. Last year a high priority at the beginning of each season for play- ers and coaches alike is to set goals — individual and team. Al- though in the end, some of the goals were not met, more often than not, the goals were achieved. Regardless of the season out- come, everybody could say, I gave 100% . The rewards were almost always worth the sacrifices that each ath- lete made. As the year came to a close the participants could look back on a year filled with memo- rable moments and ways in which they were able to Strike it Rich. Ron Alabaugh Loyal fans at the pep session, roar to cheer on the Wildcats. Huge fan support was a big help in the success of the athletic teams this year. Senior Tom Vicars powers his way up for another S.V. basket. Tom was a big key to the inside attack which led the Wildcats to a very successful season. 82 SPORTS DIVISION I 5' ’ Specialties South Vermillion not only has students participating in school sports, but there are four students enjoying their own special events as well. Brian Berrisford and David Lubovich spend much of their spare time go-karting, while Joe Gilbert and Tom Lewis are usually working out in the gym. Speed is the name of the game for Brian and David. They both race go-karts in the SIRA (Southern Indiana Racing Associa- tion). This past year Brian finished second overall in the SIRA, while also placing first in the Little Italy Grand Prix. Brian got started in racing three years ago because his father was racing and he influ- enced him to start. David, a se- nior, just got a start in racing and has hopes of becoming a very competitive racer and maybe race Indy cars someday. Brian was a big factor in David's starting to race. Competitive weightlifting has become a way of life for Joe Gil- bert and Tom Lewis. They spend approximately one-fourth of their time training. Tom began weight- lifting during May 1984 when his coach, Tom Stringfellow, invited him to the gym. He has placed first in the 1986 National Junior Championship. There he was also awarded the Best Lifter Trophy. Joe also started lifting in 1984, be- cause of Coach Stringfellow en- couraging him to compete. Joe was selected to the National Ju- nior Squad. The highlight of his training was a trip to Colorado, to train at the Olympic Training Center. Tom and Joe both pay for their own expenses, which makes their efforts more meaningful. Their dedication is very promi- nent and is shown by the time spent in their sport. Ron Alabaugh Junior Joe Gilbert displays his excellent form in the clean and jerk during this meet.

A 2-7 record often brings with it, much controversy. The Wildcats could not really get a grip on this 86- 87 season. The 'Cats won their first game of the sea- son, before dropping the next 7 out of 8 decisions. Coach John Russell's an- ticipation of this season, brought with it a lot of ap- prehension. The stressing of a positive attitude proved to be helpful for our s uad. Despite our losses, players rarely missed practice and had a very positive attitude. With a losing season, there is bound to be some turbulation between play- ers and coaches. Russell commented, Things were bad for us, the players were upset with what was hap- pening. After a 35-7 loss up at North Vermillion, the Se- niors stood up for the team and said they were behind us (the coaches) 100%. This revived that positive attitude which had deterio- rated after three straight losses. Even though the Wildcats dropped their next three games, positive attitude was still there. The last regular home game of the year produced a 24-8 win over Seeger. Se- nior Quarterback Bart Wal- drop hit Senior Mike Jones with two key touchdown strikes. Besides Waldrop and Jones, the offensive at- tack was led by Senior Flanker, Mike Taylor. On the other side of the line the 'Cats were led by Se- niors Brian Gilman, Kenny Jackson, and Vince Carle- vato. A 48-0 loss to a powerful Crawfordsville team, brought an end to a trou- blesome Wildcat season. When Russell was asked about the good point of the team he said, They never gave up. The Wildcat J.V. clawed their way to a 4-1 record. Allowing opponents a total of 12 points all season. Determination could be used to describe the J.V. team. Defeating West Vigo 33-0 after being tied 0-0 at half-time was the ultimate example of that determina- tion. Coach Scott Watson was asked about the aggressive- ness of his team. He an- swered, They hated to lose defensively.

Boys Tennis The boys tennis team started its season well before school started this year. They were out on the courts in the heat of August for at least two hours every morn- ing. All the hard work paid off as the tennis team had a strong showing this year fin- ishing with a .500 season at 7-7. The team placed higher in tournament play than ever before. This year was a good one for the team. It has been a couple years in re- building, but I think tennis is on the upswing. The boys have really worked hard these past few seasons. I'm glad the results have started to show. Coach Waclawek stated. Waclawek also said, Se- niors Chris Bash and Roger Callese were great leaders for the team. They were al- ways very positive, especially at practices. Their attitudes helped the underclassmen along. Looking forward to next year, the team will still be strong. Three varsity letter- men will have to be re- placed, but there are many in the ranks ready to take their places. Junior Shawn Wilson finished fourth in the WRC singles tourney, the highest place for a junior. Three freshmen earned let- ters for the first time in a couple of years. They were in the starting line-up a number of times. When a coach has his first and sec- ond singles players returning for another season, his out- look is promising. So, our outlook is good! Coach Frank stated about Wilson and Kirk Rohr. Our showing in the tour- naments were especially pleasing. We have never made it to the final of the Sullivan tourney and last year we came in last place at North Montgomey. Even in sectionals, it was our first win in the opening round. Award Winners were as follows: Mental Attitude — Chris Bash, Most Improved — Allen Boomer Grange, Most Consistent — Mike Mattsey. Chris Bash 88 Freshman Allen Grange displays his unique forehand stroke. ''Boomer was one of several freshman to let- ter this year. Shawn Wilson serves up another ace . Shawn was the only Wildcat to advance to the semi-finals in the WRC. Senior Chris Bash successfully cor- ners and returns a shot down the line.

Even though the boys and girls cross coun- try teams were low in numbers, 17 total, they were high in spirit. For the boys, this was a rebuilding year, with only three members returning from the 1985 squad. The team finished with a 9-15 record, but many individ- ual goals were achieved. Coach Byrer felt he got what he expected out of the boys and was proud of each and every one of them. Freshman, Brent Thomp- son made the All-Confer- ence team, which was a very memorable moment for him. I worked really hard to achieve my goal of making all-conference, and it finally paid off, Brent exclaimed. The girls held up to every- body's high expectations, and were very successful. Stacey Myers and Denise Hollenbeck won several medals and were very suc- cessful. All the girls worked just as hard as the guys did, on their way to a 5-4 finish. They were a good team and had many successes. A lot of people improved, Coach Byrer stated. Both teams got along very well together and according to Senior Bill Spaulding We were just like one big happy family, which is what it is all about, having fun. Brent Thompson excels for the last few yards. Brent made all-confer- ence as a freshman this year. Junior, Ron Baysinger, takes off on a warm-up run in preparation for the big race. Ron was the number one runner on the team. These members of the girls cross country team, stand exhausted after a hard ran race in the mud.

A strong group of Sopho- mores enabled the team to finish third in sectionals. In sectional diving competi- tion, Becky Woodard was a winner as she broke both school and sectional dive re- cords. She also earned her second straight trip to the state finals. Post season award winners for the 'Cats were: Most Valuable, Amy Foltz; Mental Attitude, Nikki Overpeck; and Most Improved, Terri Boatwright. A strong base was formed by this close knit group.

With just one varsity starter returning, the lady cats had four start- ing positions to fill with a lot of talent to pick from. With hard work and many hours of practice, the lady cats set three new school records and finished 16-4, the best win-loss record for girls bas- ketball ever. Teamwork was stressed by coach Tim Terry more than anything else. Their team ef- forts enabled them to beat such teams as Terre Haute North, Terre Haute South, Covington, and Northview. The highlight of the season, though, was the fourth straight sectional title for the girls team. Awards were given to All- Conference selection Kylie Helt for Most Assists, Most Steals, Most Points, and the Most Valuable Player.

The best part of the freshman season was their defensive playing. Our de- fense was tough, but our of- fense was lacking some- thing. Coach Mike Costello said. But the boys all had fun and all played hard. Coach Costello also stated. The freshman Basketball team produced its first win- ning season of their short ca- reer. They finished with an 11-7 record.

Also compet- ing in sectionals were Joyce Vitaniemi, Amy Foltz and Courtney Moulton. All of the girls ran their best and several set new school records. Turning in the best finishes was the sen- ior duo of Amy Harris and Stacey Myers. These two concluded their high school careers at regionals with Harris competing in both the 100 and 300 meter hurdles and Myers in the 800 meter run. Both girls represented our school with respectable finishes and personal achievements. In WRC action, the girls pulled together to compile enough points for a second place finish. Although the team will be losing the senior strength of Harris, Foltz and Myers, the Lady Cats should be able to again compete strongly with any team in the coming years.

Golf The South Vermillion golf team turned in another year of fantastic golf achieve- ments. For the first time since 1979, South Vermillion sent someone onto regional action. This year senior Steve Cvengros played some of his best golf ever. Steve tied for fourth place in the sectional at Hulman Links golf course, then went on to regionals. After shooting an outstand- ing round of 82, Steve still came up short of advancing to the state finals by just three strokes. Steve Cven- gros is the epitome of what a high school student and ath- lete should be. He is an ex- cellent student and an out- standing golfer.” Coach Watson stated of his senior ace. Coach Watson also went on to say that this year was one of a few disappoint- ments (referring to WRC) but other than that it was a very enjoyable season. The upcoming season should also be very promising since six of the top nine golfers are returning for at least one more year. Award winners for the year were Steve Cvengros — Most Valuable Player and Mental Attitude Award, and Shawn Wilson — Most Ea- gles. 2Sr ■..

Chris and Jan Marietta held the 1st doubles position. Chellie and her partner, Kristy Yager, were successful at 2nd Dou- bles. Tennis Lob, smash, serve, and ace — the 1986-87 girls' tennis team did each of these and did them well as was reflected by their winning season record of 8-5. High points of the regu- lar season for the Lady Netters were 3-2 victories over tough Creencastle and Northview squads. At the'WRC competition, both the number one and number two doubles teams advanced to the final round. In the Terre Haute sec- tional tournament, the team's commendable per- formance enabled them to advance to the semi-final round edging past Rockville 3-2 while coming up short against Northview 2-3. Coach Lori Routh present- ed five awards at the close of the season. Recipients of those awards were as fol- lows: Best record — Chellie Gardner and Kristy Yager (13-5), most improved — Beth Sanquenetti, most three sets — Carla Sivatte, and most valuable — Lori Waugh.

GIRLS' TENNIS 113 Cheerleaders The JV Cheerleaders showed their spirit during the Pepsi Hoosier Hy- teria Contest. The Cheerleaders were (I. to r.) Brenda Frazier, Nancy Meadors, Leslie Taylor and Lisa Ball. One of the many tasks of being a cheerleader is selling various fun- draisers. Kelly Gilman and Kris McLeish sell 50 50 tickets at the Lit- tle Italy Festival. and ability. Last year's highlight for not just the cheerleaders, but the whole community was the Pepsi Hoosier Hyste- ria contest. Over 2,000 post- ers blanketed the walls of S.V.'s gymnasium. The con- test, sponsored by WPFR drew a lot of attention to the high school. SVHS totaled over 33,000 points. The re- ward for all their hard work was a free 3-hour dance with all proceeds going to the band for their trip to Wash- ington. Last year brought a lot of spirit back in SVHS. The hard work put in by the cheerleaders paid off at the games when the crowd ap- plauded. This year's 110% cheerleading award went to Christy Carey for her enthu- siasm and dedication. Of the year Christy stated, “We worked really hard and I had a lot of fun. Last year was a year I will never forget. Many people warned the new cheerleading sponsor, Joanne Ellis, that taking on the cheerleaders entailed a lot of hard work. In spite of these warnings Mrs. Ellis took the position over 14 girls. One of Mrs. Ellis' and the varsity cheerleaders goals was to make a Seven male cheerlifter addition to their squad. These guys were bases to most of the higher and difficult mounts the squad did. With these seven new members Mrs. Ellis had her hands full as it made 21 cheerleaders for the 86-87 school year. The 14 girls attended camp at Evansville University in the summer. This was a long, strenuous week. De- spite this, the cheerleaders made new editions to S.V.'s trophy case. The varsity squad received the honor of Grand Champs overall. The J.V. and freshman squad brought many ribbons home also. For the first time in many years, the varsity cheer squad competed in a state- wide competition. They en- tered the cheer-chant with- out tumbling event and brought home a third place trophy. This was a great ac- complishment for the squad. The cheerleaders spent ten months working hard to entertain the fans at all foot- ball and basketball games. They received many compli- ments on their enthusiasm 114 CHEERLEADERS 115 The 1986-87 Cheer Squad consisted of Ami Amerman, Christy Carey, Donna Haase, Kris McLeish, Kelly Gilman, Bryan Farrington, Brent Pe- pelea. Mica Farrington, Dan Shew and Eric Pearman. Bill Spaulding and Tony McAbee also lifted for the Cats. Teresa DeBord shows that her bro- ken leg doesn't stand in the way of her Wildcat spirit.

Just seventeen girls made it through the cuts and only one of those was a senior, Sandy Hatha- way. The young team fin- ished with an impressive 12- 9 record, and according to Coach Session They did an excellent job as a first year team. The girls played to- gether as a team and not just as individuals. They backed each other all the time, and had great team spirit throughout the year. Coaching a team of this caliber was a new experi- ence for coach Session and she plainly stated, I loved it. The team definitely im- proved over the season at the plate and their defense was a strong asset to their success. The teams season ended with an 11 to 6 loss to Northview in the sectional tournament. Awards were given to Bil- lie Graham for Most Valu- able Player, Erica Felix for the Best Mental Attitude, and Traci Miller was the Most Improved Player.

GIRLS SOFTBALL 117 Wrap-up Fall Aaah! It was early August, school was out, and had nothing to do, right? Wrong. This was the time for fall sporting teams to be- gin their practices. The pro- spective athletes gave up the last month of their vaca- tion to achieve their goals. Whether it was a senior, or incoming freshman, their desires were most similiar . . . to win! After all the practices, special time put in to make themselves better, and school preparations made; the payoff had arrived. It was time to put all their ef- fort into head to head com- petition. The Boys' Tennis Team showed they had the desire, by having the best showing in some time. They smashed” their way to a 7- 7 record, and a win over Bloomfield in the sectional. The Girls' Volleyball team overcame a disappointing 7- 14 record to win the sec- tional. The J.V. Voleyball team had a 3-11 record, but all of the dejection turned to gratification as the as the sectional crown had been succumbed. The Girls' Swimming team made a splash” with their 10-6 record and a WRC champi- onship. This was a big boost to the young team as they went on to a respectable finish in sectionals. Every Friday night, whether warm or cold tem- peratures, the student body came out to support our Varsity Football team. Though they sported a 2-7 record, they fought until the end. The J.V. Football team was a bit overlooked, but had a successful 4-1 record. Coach Watson's 'Cats held their opponents to eight points all year, a spectacular feat. The Boys' Cross Country team had its ups and downs”, but fin- ished with a 9-15 record. The Girls' Cross Country team had a little better luck, as they had a 5-4 record. The girls' hard work was shown by their big improve- ment over the course of the season. It was time to put away the helmet, pads, and ra- quets; for it was time to put on the high tops and goggles. WRAP-UP 118 The J.V. backfield shows that it is as Junior Brent Meyer pulls out his strong as our defensive squad, putter as he attempts his putt for which gave up only eight points all par. season. Senior Tim Vicars powers in this lay-up, overwhelming the effort to block it by the Northview defender. Winter Late practices, studying and shortage of sleep, spells out the winter season. This is considered to be the hardest season to keep up the academic part of your life. This is due to the lon- gevity of the season. The winter sporting events brought a lot of ex- citement to S.V. Senior Mike Kelley led the Wildcat grapplers to a 6-4-1 record, plus a second place finish in the WRC. He also made his way to the semi-state in the 165 pound class. The Girls' Basketball team made it four in a row as they captured the sectional crown. Sectional MVP Carla Sivatte and Senior Kylie Helt led the Lady Cats to a 12-4 record. The Boys' Basket- ball team fell upon hard times in the first half of the season, before winning their next eight in a row. The boys kept their winning tradition, which had em- bedded itself at S.V. the past four years. That was the final year for Head Coach Tim Wolf as he moved to Martinsville. Assistants Ker- ry Walsh and Dennis Hoff also departed to head coaching positions. The J.V. Basketball team scratched their way to a 10-9 record with many tough wins. The Freshman team even got in on the winning spirit with an impressive 11-7 record. The Boys' Swimming team made the winter out- ing a total success by captur- ing the WRC championship for the third straight year. Coach Duane Swisher is handing up the position af- ter after much success and a 10-4 record on the year. The ending of the winter season brought with it warm weather, an anticipation for the ending of school, and a feeling of anxiety from all athletes. Spring It was that time of year when the seniors are enjoy- ing their last event as a high school student. The spring season brings with it much emotion; not just the sen- iors, but the underclassmen awaiting summer vacation. The track teams seemed to have faired the best they had in a while. The Boys' Track team captured the WRC championship and ended up with a 6-6 dual meet record. The Girls' Track team had a 9-3 dual meet record, and sent two girls to regionals. Amy Har- ris and Stacey Myers led the Lady Harriers to a second place finish in the confer- ence championshp. The golf team tasted the sweet- ness of regionals also, as they sent Steve Cvengros. Steve's playing ability, plus a strong line-up led them to a 10-7 record. The debut of Girls' Softball at S.V. brought with it a winning season at 12-9. The Girls' Tennis team served up an impressive 8-5 record plus a first round sectional victory over Rockvile. The J.V. Baseball team suffered a 3-10 record. They were close in their games, with a few runs deciding the outcome. The Varsity Base- ball team enjoyed the fruits of having nine seniors as they ripped their way to a 16-10 record. They also re- corded a first round section- al victory over Riverton Parke. Well, it was the end of an- other year. The seniors said good-bye, as many of their sport careers were over. As their careers vanish, their memories will not. The memories of high school will always be charished by the athlete. WRAP-UP 119 It lakes more than one person to com- plete a chemical reaction. Amy Harris, Lisa Roskovensky, Tabby Twigg, and John Hart teamed up to hep each other finish the project. Missy Lawson and Sherri McKillop assist Tammy Scott on her art sculpture. The fin- ished product ended up four and one-half feet tall. 120 ACADEMICS DIVISION I Learning, Studying, Memoriz- ing. Whether it was cramming for a biology test, writing a composi- tion, trying to type 50 words a minute or preparing blue prints for your dream house academics involved everyone to different degrees. Some thought extra curricular activities were the reason they at- tended school, but when it came to a final or a big test they realized academics was a top priority. Grades came easy to some, but others had to put forth a lot of effort. Although studying for a test may not have been ones fa- vorite thing to do it was a reality. Making the grade was important to some while it was a necessity for others. Preparing for a successful future can be a challenging task, but with the wide variety of classes offered at SVHS it makes ones job a little easier. Donna Haase ing challenged to learn and grow Academic Excellence It's a great start Finding a way to recognize stu- dents for academic excellence has always been a problem. How- ever, a new program has been launched for the soul purpose of honoring academic achieve- ments. The award of Academic Excel- lence goes to students who have maintained a grade point average of 3.75 for four consecutive se- mesters. The twenty-nine stu- dents who were awarded with this honor receive a specially de- signed ring denoting their aca- demic achievement accompa- nied by an honor certificate. Each student was allowed to in- vite two guests to the awards din- ner and a teacher who had been influential, important ... some- one who helped make a differ- ence. The chosen teachers were honored with a plaque commer- ating the event. Sponsoring of this event was by the major businesses of the com- munity. Due to their generosity the program was of no cost to students or tax-payers. 1986 was the first year for this expected to be annual event. ■ I feel it's an excellent idea. The puspose of school is to learn, and this program rewards people who excel in that purpose, commented Shawn Merrifield. Chellie Gardner The first Academic Scholars are: Front row, left to right: Nikki Overpeck, Lori Waugh, Misty Wright, Twila Hart, Nancy Albin, Erica Felix, Mitzi Lewis, Chellie Gardner, Tonya McCullough, Amy Har- ris, Anna Finger, Ami Ammerman and Donna Haase. Back row: Dieter Kaufman, Kristi Boardman, Stacey Myers, Gail Wjight, Ronna Robertson, Charleen Ford, Tom Chambers, Rob Farringotn, Mike Jones, Steve Cvengros, Kris Hamil- ton, Lisa Roskovensky, Mica Farrington, Susan Rumple, and Shawn Merrifield. Nikki Overpeck gets her finger sized by the Herff-Jones representative. The hon- or rings arrived in early February. 121 Required Courses Making the grade What do all students have in common? Inevitably everyone must take, at some point in time, the state required classes. These include English, Government, Health, Math, Physical Educa- tion, Science and United States History. Not only taking the required class is tough, teaching it may be somewhat difficult. The teacher doesn't want to be extremely strict but realize they must get the point across. When Mr. Wright was asked how he thought teaching a required class differed from an elective he stat- ed, The cooperation and en- thusiasm of the students are gen- erally greater in electives because the student has chosen to take the class. Mr. Williams was asked if it is hard to teach classes you know students have to pass to graduate and he replied, No, there is a major motivational factor be- cause they realize they have to pass the class. It is harder when students have no reason to suc- ceed. Even though Physical Educa- tion is an activity class many stu- dents would like to by-pass it. Dressing everyday, whether for gym activities or swimming, was a major decision for some stu- dents. Failure of dressing a re- quired number of times results in removal from class. Swimming was often the most unfavorable aspect of P.E. Kathy Chambers commented, I like P.E. but not swimming because it takes too long to get ready afterwards. When asked how he keeps stu- dents interested in swimming Mr. Swisher replied, I give them a variety of things to do in the water. Required classes are often tough and a little scary, but with hard work, effort, and under- standing teachers, any willing students can make it. Donna Haase To help fulfill Social Studies requirements Alison Lamb and Francesca Emanuel work to complete their geography map. Junior Jerry Hollingsworth, searches for an answer to help complete his United States History course. Ten minutes of treading water is just one ac- tivity students are required to participate in during their six weeks of swim class. Rewa Moy races to the finish line during a relay race in P.E. Recreational basketball is one of the sports emphasized during the year. Chris Uselman takes part in a worm quiz dur- ing Zoology class. The class is just one or many students chose to fulfill their Science requirements. REQUIRED 123 Electives Your choice to the future Even without knowing that the business department was in the A-section, one could easily tell when passing through the halls because of the thundering sounds of typewriter keys being struck by the multitude of nimble fingers. Over half of the students en- rolled at S.V.H.S. took some business class during the year 86- 87. Not one class in the entire department was required, but students still kept signing up for classes like Business Law, Typing, Shorthand, Introduction to Busi- ness, Office Machines, and Ac- counting. Accounting ap- pealed to me because I thought that it would be an interesting class, commented Kristy Yager. Many students take business classes to prepare them for what lies ahead. Typing II will further my typing skills for future use in the job world, said Valori San- quenetti. Mary Jo Cuel said, I took Of- fice Machines so that I'd have the skills my future employer may re- quire. Department-head, Mrs. Par- co's, feelings about taking busi- ness classes, Business education is an education you can bank on. We all like to make money. Our business department prepares students for entry-level employ- ment if they have acquired the skills we offer. Whatever the reasons, students found that business classes were much to their benefit. Chellie Gardner These former students speak of their ex- periences on Business Education Day. The business department plans for this to be an annual event. 124 ELECTIVES Sophomore Katie Bose diligently works on her typing assignment. Out of all the busi- ness classes, students chose typing most of- ten. Juniors Missy Strickland and Jody Berry listen attentively to the principles of accounting. Many students gained the ability to work in a business surrounding as bookkeepers. Senior Carla Beard ponders an aspect of busi- ness. Business classes offer an opportunity to gain experience in applying practical skills. Senior Pia Bergman concentrates on her timed writing. Students found that speed as well as accuracy are important to being a successful typist. ELECTIVES 125 Electives Time well spent Free hours in students schedules often were filled with choice classes. Electives offered an opportunity to ex- pand the knowledge gained in a required class. Sometimes it was hard for students to imag- ine they actually once wanted to take the class that they eventually despised. Students spent a large amount of their time in elective classes. These classes include French, Span- ish, Speech, Creative Writing, and Flome-Eeonomics. Creative writing class al- lowed students to put their imaginations to work. This class gave students the chance to use their own ideas instead of learning those of a text- book. However, this class in- volved more than just writing. It helped students learn how to develop their ideas and pre- sent them. French, Spanish, and Speech classes are among the few in which talking is not only acceptable but also necessary to make a good grade. Wheth- er in English or another lan- guage these classes taught good communication skills. French and Spanish taught stu- dents not only another lan- guage, but also another cul- ture and other customs. The Home-Economics class- es aren't just sewing and cook- ing any more. Critical thinking skills and decision making were just as much a part of these classes as they were to math, science, and history. The main objective of the Home-Economics department was to prepare students for real life. It also involved the study of man's physical envi- ronment, his nature as a social being, and, most importantly, the relationship between the two. Elective classes cover a wide range of interests. Whether in home-ec. or speech, electives prepared students for the fu- ture. 126 ELECTIVES Chellie Gardner Braving the podium Stacey Decker pre- sents his speech. Speech was not a re- quired course, but many students found it to be a helpful experience. Julie Delph, Leslie Taylor, and Daniel Thomas watch as the newlyweds, Jon Spurr and Jenny Harris, toast to their fu- ture happiness. A smiling Diane Laney prepares to enjoy the fruits of her labor. This foreign language class works hard on their assignment. The students learned to read, write, and speak in another lan- guage. ELECTIVES 127 College preparation Looking ahead College is a major decision in stu- dents' lives. A definite decision may not be needed until you are a senior, but preparation must begin as a freshman. College preparation, general, and business are the three courses one chooses for their high school career. 50% of the student body chose the college preparation course. Beneficial classes for col- lege are Botany, Chemistry, Phys- ics, Psycology, Calculus, Computer classes, Physiology, Senior Litera- ture and Composition. With this wide variety of classes students who choose this course are very busy. They find these classes offer chal- lenging activities. Seniors have the opportunity to take Advanced Composition or Pys- chology for a college credit. This enables students to get a head start with their college plans. A college atmosphere is often created in these classes, through all essay test, exams and the difficulty of the course. Ronna Robertson ex- plains, I will be taking the same subjects in college, only in an ad- vanced manner, so I am aware of the terminology and methods used from my classes at high school.” These classes may seem a bit of a struggle at times, but the experi- ence is necessary. They are the clos- est one can come to being in an actual college situation. Making a brave attempt through these courses can only benefit the indi- vidual. Tom Chambers states, I will be better prepared for the tougher classes that I will face in college and I will know what to ex- pect from the experience I received throughout high school.” — Donna Haase The final and most important grade in Senior Composition is the 7-10 page research pa- per. Kris Rigsby and Amy Harris research through magazines to complete the assign- ment. Computers are both a fun and educational way to plan for the future. Mike Mattsey, Tabby Twigg and Brian Berrisford work on their computer programs. -•i-.-: • Eric Pearman works on his lab experiment during Zoology class.

Many have chosen to pursue a career with the skill they have been taught in high school. Hands on experience is the best and many students took advantage of the opportunity through Co-op, SASS, Building Trades, Health Occupations, Cos- metology, and Welding. The purpose of vocational educa- tion is to provide high school stu- dents an opportunity to acquire marketable skills, occupational knowledge and positive attitudes for the working world. Many students chose to only go to school half of the day their senior year. The Co-Op and Building Trades program allows these stu- dents to do this. Students on the Co-Op program attend class in the morning and work throughout the afternoon. Becky Sims commented, I work at Clinton State Bank and it has provided me with the experi- ence I will need for my future. The students participating in Building Trades built a new house this year in Robertson subdivision. The SASS program at South Ver- million keeps many young women very busy. These students have an opportunity to work in a realistic of- fice atmosphere with up-to-date equipment. I feel I could go out and get a job in a secretarial field with the experience I've gained from working in the SASS pro- gram, stated Christine Swinford. Health Occupations provides stu- dents with hands on patient care. Health related occupations are stressed throughout this course. A certain day per week is set aside for the students to be taken to the area hospital or the convalescent center. The vocational department at South Vermillion is a productive one. It creates a job no matter where your interests lie. This pro- gram is very essentia! to the futures of many students. — Donna Haase After completing her SASS assignment, Angie McCIara takes a moment to catch up on her classroom work. 130 VOCATIONAL Building Trades student, Frank Mediate shows his industrial ability by adding a nail to the new house they built. Bob Hogatt, welding student, puts the finishing touch on his projet as he prepares the metal. Kim Briggs takes advantage of her time by completing her SASS assignment. Kim worked with SASS in the afternoon. Connie Milam, co-op student, gets assistance on filing some papers. Connie worked at Eli Lilly Company. VOCATIONAL 131 Technology A Growing Area Technology plays an ever increas- ing role in today's society. Machine Shop, Drafting, Computers, Weld- ing, Pring Shop, and Electronics are just a few classes that will aid one in preparation for the technological future. Machine shop is a chance for stu- dents to work with engine lathers, vertical and horizontal mills an percision grinders. In advanced Machine shop students get “hands on experienced by working on their own cars. This experience is always useful. Drafting is a class where one translates a dimensional object onto a two dimensional surface. In Ar- chitectual drafting the student con- structs his own home. Print shop is a very productive and growing class. The students were involved in platemaking, lay- out work, and dark room work. This year they also constructed a 24 page speech book for the Sophomores, 20 page speech book for the Fresh- man, a 16 page art book, graduation announcements as well as Prom tickets. A good combination of Science and Technology is needed to under- stand electronics. In electronics Mr. Marsh states, “I try to give the students a taste of a little of every- thing in all 13 different areas. This class gives anything from practical experience in wiring houses to fix- ing a radio. The theory is taught, then the students test it out to know why and how it is the way it is. “Electronics taught me how to re- pair car stereos and this has come in very handy, explained Kyle Mar- shall. These technological classes pro- vide the students with the experi- ence and knowledge which will en- able them to extend their study of the field after high school. Donna Haase Tracy Thomas builds a circuit in Electronics. Hands on experience proved to be invaluable in this instance. 132 TECHNOLOGY Jim Simpson uses a parallel to design as accu- rately as possible. Accuracy is very important in the field of drafting. I John Brock sets the dials to make a cut with the metal lathe. John also received the out- standing welding student award. Tom Vicars keeps a close eye on the press to make sure nothing goes wrong. The print shop got a new press and Macintosh system to enhance their program. TECHNOLOGY 133 The Arts Bridging the Gap Art classes provided students a way to express themselves through artistic creativity. One of the main goals throughout the year was to help individual students to develop their potential and develop an ap- preciation for art. The art depart- ment had many field trips available to students taking art. These trips allowed upper level students to ex- perience having a portfolio re- viewed and possibly even being ac- cepted into an art school. Also these trips gave students the chance to view what other high schools were doing with their art. The music theory class was a class designed for students who were in- terested in music, above listening to the radio. This class taught students how to write music, construct chords, build scales, and to anaiize music plus many innumerable other aspects of music. History and trans- posing were also taught to students. Drama class offered an escape from the real world for students who were interested in theater or students just looking for a creative outlet. The Drama instructor, Mrs. Perrin, said, the main objective of the class was to make people more comfortable with drama and the- ater. The class was not technically related to the school productions, but the skills learned in the class were the ones needed on stage. The entire activity part of the class was acting from reading plays to memo- rizing lines to actually acting it out. Chellie Gardner Some S.V. art students learn from an EH Lilly and Company employee the versatility of their amazing computer in the drafting de- partment while they toured the plant. Music theory class explored many different aspects of music. Kim Craig displays her tal- ents as a pianist. 134 ARTS One man's trash is another man's trea- sure. the second year 3-D art class con- structs their version of a found-art struc- ture. An artist's imagination goes beyond the classroom. Mrs. Weber helps Shawn Shannon work on his art project in the commons. Junior Jodi Berry looks to Mrs. Gibbs for approval after having constructed a triad. ARTS Special Services Quality Education One of the several special de- partments offered at SVHS is Spe- cial Education. This is for students requiring help because of specific learning problems. It offers a clos- er relationship between students and teachers which provides an atmosphere that makes learning more successful. The class also offered the work- study program. It was designed to help students develop and strengthen basic skills needed in the work world. Students are then evaluated once every six weeks by their job supervisor and receive a grade and then a credit for ac- ceptable work.

Students worked hard to improve their read- ing skills. SPECIAL SERVICES 137 t m. Hidden talent provides outlet Blacksmithing is a hid- den talent that Mr. Au- brey Williams posseses. It is a little known fact, but Mr. Williams is very in- volved and interested in the blacksmith trade. His interests were in- spired by an extension of another hobby, competi- tion antique gun shoot- ing. He has been active in smithing since the late six- ties. Decorative and orna- mental iron working is Mr. Williams speciality. However, he has made anything from combine parts to crusor pegs for motorcycles. He stated, I never set the shop up that someone doesn't want me to fix something. When asked to com- pare teaching and black- smithing Mr. Williams re- plied, Teaching gives me salary, personal contact, and long term feedback while blacksmithing pro- vides immediate satisfac- tion of a finished prod- uct. Donna Haase Mr. Aubrey Williams was captured amidst the stream by Mr. Malcolm Wilson of the Ken- tucky Post.

Ev- ery now and then a paper wad or airplane would sail across the room. The tar- dy bell had rung only mo- ments before, but the va- cant desk in the front was the student's sign to have some fun; then, in walked the teacher. Silence fell over the group like a light snow comes down: very slowly. Just as the teacher was about to say something some brave person tossed a paper airplane towards him. The class was appre- hensive; was he going to be mad? Their question was answered when he suddenly sprang up and snatched the plane out of the air. The class laughed and so did the teacher. Then the lessons began and everything moved on as normal. When asked, How would you describe a good teacher? the fol- lowing students and teachers gave this re- sponse: One who is kind, con- siderate, and doesn't let the power go to their head. Robert Briley Someone who chal- lenges young people to do their very best and teachers them how to learn. Mr. Walsh Someone who cares, has the ability to teach, and can admit mistakes. Carla Sivatte One that cares a lot about the students and gives tham a lot of their time individually. Krista Feuquay One who's in control, very knowledgeable, cares about students, and genuinely prepares them for the future. Good teachers are the ones that students come back and thank. Mr. Wright A teacher who under- stands that each student is an individual person. Pia Bergman Specifics may vary but generally speaking teach- ers and students feel that concern for students is the most important quali- ty a teacher can possess.

In the shadows A never-ending job With jobs ranging from fixing lunch to getting a band-aid on a paper cut to cleaning and helping out with jammed lockers, the cooks, maintenance personnel, and nurse were an invaluable part of our school. Cooks had the difficult task of trying to satisfy the students tastes while still complying with the ever-present government regulations. Not many people could cook for about 700 people and then go home and fix lunch for their own families. The school nurse provided many services for the students. From major abdominal pains to a minor headache, Miss Butts was the person to see. Even though many students were fortunate enough to have good health throughout the year, it was com- forting to know the nurse was there if you needed her. Cleaning up after the entire student body of South Vermillion was no easy task. Besides the rou- tine cleaning, often the mainte- nance crew was sidetracked with special requests from people who needed a hand. Someone from maintenance to locker number A369 was a common request for help and was always readily responded to. Chellie Gardner Although Miss Butts, the school nurse, was only at the high school on Tuesdays, she was always available in case of emer- gency. Miss Butts attended to students in all the schools in the corporation. COOKS, MAINTENANCE, NURSE 141 From our viewpoint . . . South Vermillion H.S. ' Vol. 72 No.1 Lady Liberty The Statue of Liberty is a symbol of freedom and pride for the United States as well as the thousands of im- migrants coming into the U.S. It was designed and sculptured by French- man, Fredric August Bartholdi and given to the U.S. in 1786. The statue illustrates a lady of great pride. She carries a book inscribed July 4,1776 in her left hand and in her right, she holds high over her head the Torch enlighting the world. The lady stands in New York Harbor with the Broken chains of slavery at her feet. She was created as an illustration of international friendship. July 4, 1986 marked the 200th birthday of the lady. For this special event the United States repaired the flaws and prepared her for the next 100 years. The event was marked by parades, ships from all over the world, and live broadcasts on televi- sion stations. People from all over the world came to celebrate the birthday of our lady. This was the largest event of the year 1986, and it showed to the world the pride the U.S. holds for it's country. Yolanda Kelly Crack Crack is the street name given to tiny chunks or rocks of freebase cocaine, a smokable form of the drug extracted from cocaine hydro- chloride powder in a single chemical procedure using baking soda, heat, and water. The term crack comes from the crackling sound that is heard when the chunks of freebase cocaine are smoked. Other street names are Super White , White Cloud , Cloud 9 , and Serpico . Crack is not a new drug, but the practice of selling pre-prepared co- caine on the drug market has just been brought to the publics notice this year. Crack is usually sold in 142 small plastic vials with colored plastic stoppers at one end containing 1 to 3 rocks , at prices ranging from five to twenty dollars. The number of crack users is unknown but 33% of all cocaine users say that crack is their drug of choice. Users range from adults to adoles- cents males and females, rich, mid- dle class and the poor, but mostly it is used by young males between the ages of 20 and 30. Six to eight sec- onds after crack is smoked it reaches the brain and gives a high that lasts for only 3-5 minutes. Crack is highly addictive and can cause potentially fatal brain seizures, irregular heartbeat, high blood pres- sure, and could lead to radical changes in behavior and personality. Crack is a dangerous drug that can hurt the body in many ways. Alot of time and money should be spent to clear our society of this dangerous drug. Ronnie Alabaugh A Royal Fairy Tale July 23, 1986 brought with it the marriage of Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew. The 26-year-old bride and groom exchanged their vows in front of over 1,800 guests at Westminster Abbey. Fergie and Andrew sealed their marriage with a passionate kiss on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. Then it was off to the Azores in Por- tugal for a honeymoon. In the United States there was an- other version of a royal wedding. Caroline Bouvier Kennedy ex- changed vows of wedlock with Ed- win Arthur Schlossberg. July 19, 1986 the wedding oc- curred at Centerville Road in Massa- chusetts. Ceremony proceedings began at 3 o'clock, with only 400 guest to witness the royal occasion. At 11 p.m. the couple slipped away in their limosine which was headed for the Boston's Ritz Carlton. Leaving behind guests who enjoyed the weddings reception, held at the Kennedy Compound. And they all lived happily ever after ... Lisa Roskovensky Pan Am games On August 7-23, 1987, Indianapo- lis hosted the 10th Pan American Games. For seventeen days 4000 Olympic hopefuls from 37 countries competed in 27 sports. Special events were planned for Indiana high school students and each school was assigned to repre- sent a country. SVHS represented Puerto Rico in the model Organiza- tion of American States that was sim- ilar to the United Nations. Two local students participated in T-shirt design and poster contests. Sarah Ridgely's T-shirt design was among the final three for the official Mini-Pan-American Games T-shirt. Mrs. Vera Shew is a Pan-Am vol- unteer and has served on the Mini- Games committee for almost two years. Concerts Veteran rockers hit the road in 86. Such groups as the Moody Blues, the Monkees and a revised Van Halen were all on the road again. Bob Dy- lan played with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers during the summer's True Confessions Tour. The Amnesty International Con- spiracy of Hope was said to be the rock event of the year. Famous artists such as U2, Sting, Peter Gabriel, Lou Reed, Jackson Browne, Bryan Ad- ams, and others contributed their time and talent to end political im- prisonment and torture. Bruce Springsteen returned to the stage for the Bridge benefit concert, organized for the Bridge School for Handicapped. Also playing at the benefit were Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Tom Petty and Don Henley. American tragedies American teenagers are killing themselves at an alarming rate. Ac- cording to the National Institute of Mental Health, as many as fifteen children commit suicide every day. A sociologist says, A lack of sup- port from family and friends is a ma- jor contributor to depression and suicides. Certain live stresses are re- ported often to precede a suicide: parental divorce, remarriage, the break up of a love affair, a geograph- ic move, suicide of a friend or family member, and family alcoholism. In New Jersey four teenagers took their lives together after a friend had One of the hottest tours was by a newcomer from New Jersey. Bon Jovi rocked sold out concert halls nation wide. Some SV students at- tended his March 2 and May 21 con- certs in Indianapolis. Both of these performances were sold out. If it wasn't possible to get tickets to Bon Jovi, there was the Genesis or Moody Blues performances in Janu- ary. Also appearing at Market Square were Eric Clapton, AC DC, Billy Joel, and Huey Lewis. Hulman Civic Center received more concert activity than usual. On January 16, Ratt appeared with opening act Poison. 38 Special and the Georgia Satellites rocked Terre Haute on February 15. Concerts were great ways for SV students to socialize and have a good time. Kris McLeish fallen 200 feet to his death. This event seemed to trigger suicides, es- pecially group suicide. Some communities and schools are instituting suicide awareness programs. These are designed to help young people as well as adults in the prevention of and or dealing with teen suicide. The New Jersey incident and oth- ers brought awareness to many con- cerned adults. Teen suicide is a problem that cannot be overlooked. It is growing and society needs to be aware of this and know what they can do to help prevent it. Donna Haase Stars of the 80's The old guard of pop and rock reached top Grammy nominations in January of 1987, including Steve Winwood with five and Peter Gabri- el and Paul Simon with four each. Nominated for best new artist were Glass Tiger, Nu Shooz, Simply Red, Timbuk 3, and the award winner Bruce Hornsby and the Range. That's What Friends Are For, the upbeat ballad that raised $75,000 for AIDS research, won three Grammys in- cluding song of the year, but lost to Steve Winwood's Higher Love for record of the year. Album of the year was awarded to Paul Simon with his album called Graceland. The hard voice of Tina Turner received the award for Female Rock Vocal at the Grammys with her song Back Where You Started. The Male Rock Vocal grammy went to the loving man Robert Palmer with his song, Addict- ed To Love. The outrageous Euryth- mics racked in the grammy for Best Group Rock Vocal, also. The Emmys which were held in September of 1986 gave out many awards including these main three: Drama Series: Cagney and Lac- ey CBS Comedy Series: The Golden Girls NBC Miniseries: Peter The Great NBC The Annual Lullaby of Holly- wood brought about the Oscar awards given out in April of 1987. That night held some heartwarming moments with Diane Wiest, accept- ing her award for best supporting ac- tress in Hannah and Her Sisters. Oliver Stone, whose script for Pla- toon was turned down by every major studio before becoming a huge box-office hit, called its awards for best picture and best director a Cinderella ending. Seven time Os- car loser Paul Newman finally re- ceived his first honor for being rec- ognized as the best actor in the movies. The box office smash Hoo- siers co-starring Dennis Hopper made it possible for Hopper to re- ceive the award for best supporting actor. The most touching moment that night was deaf actress Marlee Matlin's acceptance of her best ac- tress honor for Children of a Lesser God. Tonya McCullough Modeling their concert t-shirts, Chris Bash, Kenny Shepard, Ron Alabaugh, Rob Ritchardson, A.). Dugger, Lisa Hall and Jade Warren, prove that they have seen some of the hottest groups. Buckle Up Buckle up. This became a com- mon phrase when Indiana was faced with a new law requiring front-seat motorists to fasten their seat belts. Though the seat belt first became a standard feature of automobiles in 1960, it was found that only two out of every ten occupants took advan- tage of this safety device. It was con- firmed by safety experts that the chance of death was increased twen- ty-five times when a person was thrown from an automobile. There- fore the use of safety belts would highly reduce injury and death. Primary enforcement gave po- lice officers the authority to cite vio- lators of a state's mandatory seat belt-use law even if no other traffic law was violated. This made drivers more aware of their safety belts and the chance to save lives. The mandatory seat belt-use law for Indiana was postponed many times. The law was finally to go into effect on July, 1987. So Indiana pre- pared to join other states and over thirty countries in buckling up to save lives . Mitzi Lewis A matter of Money Oral Roberts, a well known televi- sion evangelist, reported that God would call him home at the end of March if $8 million was not raised for medical missionary scholarships. In March of 1986, Roberts first said that God told him he had one year to raise the scholarship money so the Oral Roberts University medical school graduates could afford to be missionaries in Third World Coun- tries. Roberts who needed to raise $8 million was short $1.3 million. He planned to fast and pray for the re- maining money. Before the deadline, a Florida mil- lionaire pledged $1.3 million, the fi- nal amount to complete the $8 mil- lion. Jerry Collins, the donor, made the donation because he believes in the value of education and wanted to help medical students fulfill their education. Roberts weekly show was pulled off the air by several television sta- tions due to the plea. Angie Bonebrake Obeying the law and taking a safety precau- tion, Mark Mattsey fastens his seatbelt. 144 MINI-MAG The Voyager Welcome Wal-Mart On Tuesday March 3, 1987 at 9:00 am the doors opened to a new era in Clinton. The long-awaited Wal-Mart store is providing new jobs for 128 area residents. Clinton's very own Wal-Mart is only one of 800 stores in 21 states. After many delays and land prob- lems Wal-Mart was approved and given the go-ahead in August of 86. This 50, 968 square foot structure, provided Clinton with a better em- ployment rate and better business. Wal-Mart has everything from clothes to gardening equipment. It also has its own cafe and pharmacy! Clinton has been ready for a long time to see the words. Discount City, Sell for less, and most of all Wal- Mart. Jeff Hastings It was sunrise, December 14, 1986 at Edwards Air Force Base. Dick Ru- tan and Jeana Yeager had said their goodbyes to a group of friends in final preparation to become mem- bers of a small group of immortal aviatiors. The 26,000 mile flight — the long- est ever on a single load of fuel — would take them around the world. At a top speed of 120 mph, the flight took nine days. The pilots were bat- tered by turbulence and typhoons. The 17 fuel tanks left room for a cockpit that was only 3! 2 feet wide by 7V.j feet long. Engine noise was in excess of 100 decibels, forcing the pilots to wear earplugs, which still did not drown the noise. The pilot's meals consisted of in- stant and precooked meals warmed by a heating duct and washed down with water. Despite the cramped quarters and other discomforts, the pilots proved worthy of fame. With their perfect landing at Edwards, Ru- tan and Yeager set another American milestone in the history books. Robert Slover Step on it After several speeding tickets and much controversy, the Indiana Gen- eral Assembly has raised the speed limit. As of June 1, it is legal to drive 65 mph on rural interstates. This is 10 over the old speed limit. Although this does not affect traf- fic on local roads, speed limits on roads such as 1-70 will be raised. In total 852 miles out of Indiana's 1119 miles of interstates will be affected by this law. Misty Wright Throwing it all away In June of 1986 the sports world was shaken by the drug related death of talented basketball star. Just 40 hours after being selected by the Boston Celtics in the NBA draft Len Bias died of cardiorespira- tory arrest brought on by the use of cocaine. Bias, a Maryland All-Ameri- can, had dreamed of playing for the Celtics. The accounts of the events sur- rounding Bias' death varied. After returning to the Maryland campus from his home in Washington D.C. Wednesday the 18th, Bias went to his dorm. Bias was questioned by his roommates until around 2 a.m., when he left. Where he then went is unclear. Different reports placed him at a party with Brian Tribble, or maybe a gathering attended by sev- eral football players at Allegeny Hall, a Maryland dormitory. Another re- port placed Bias and another man in the District of Columbia area notori- ous for drug deals. Possibly Bias visited all of these be- fore returning to his dorm around 5 a.m. At about 6:30 Bias had a seizure. He lost consciousness, ceased breathing, and his heart stopped beating. He was taken to Leland Me- morial Hospital where at 8:50 a.m., Bias was pronounced dead. This was believed to be the first time Bias used cocaine, but it was one time SPEED LIMIT South Vermillion HS .. . and too many. Nikki Overpeck New York wins all The Super bowl and the World Se- ries provided many exciting trials for sports fans around the world. Being one strike away from defeat in Game 6, the New York Mets converted on Red Sox errors to win Game 6. The series MVP, Ray Knight, scored the winning run in Game 6 on an error by Bill Buckner. The momentum of the sixth game carried into Game 7, as the Mets took it and the series 4 games to 3. New York also produced another CHA champion as the Giants defeat- ed the Denver Broncos 39-20, to win the 1987 Super Bowl. Phil Simms, the MVP, completed 22 of 25 passes and a decisive 3rd touchdown pass to Phil McConkey to insure the victory. The Giants ended the season at 17-2 and brought home their first cham- pionship since 1956. Marc Ugo TV's Guide The 1986-87 television viewing season did not produce any runaway hit shows, but a few programs did spark critics' and viewers' interest. NBC's Crime Story, a 1960's-era police show based in Chicago, was well received as was L.A. Law, a legal drama. Two off beat comedies which provided viewers a variety of evening entertainment were ALF and ABC's Perfect Strangers. Also on ABC, a program that grew in pop- ularity as it began its second regular season was Moonlighting, starring Cybil Shepherd and Bruce Willis. Though many new programs showed promise, competition was fierce — especially on Thursday nights. Television's most popular program continued to be Thursday night's The Cosby Show, in its third season. Although some programs were somewhat lack-luster, others com- pensated by shining so brightly. Quality programs such as The Cosby Show, Family Ties, Mur- der She Wrote, Cheers, The Golden Girls, Dynasty, and Who's the Boss? all earned de- served ranks in the top ten of the Nielsen ratings. During the 1986-87 season, television viewers, armed with their TV Guide, a bowl of pop- corn or bag of chips, and their favor- ite easy-chair, could always find a worthwhile program to enjoy. Lori Waugh Big Red Victory The NCAA basketball tourney promised as usual, to be exciting and above all unpredictable. In the tour- nament the teams ranged from un- heard of, Austin Peay to top pre- season teams such as UNLV. After 63 well-contested games, the National Champion trophy was presented to the Hoosiers of Indiana University. Under the leadership of coach Bob Knight, the I.U. cagers traveled a long road to this most prestigious ac- complishment: NO. 1 in the nation in college basketball. The Hoosiers defeated teams such as LSU, UNLV, and Syracuse to capture the national title. Although Indiana earned the no. 1 name. Bob Knight seemed to think they played beyond their poten- tial. Kylie Helt Volume 72 No. 1 that's the way it was. 145 Money changing hands makes the world go around. Advertisers that realise the value of a dollar helped to get Strike it Rich to press. Soon after the imitation bells resonated in the S.V. halls for the end of the day, a train of migrating vehicles filed out of the parking lot and into the surrounding area. Many students were not heading directly for home. Some stopped for a snack, and others headed for evening jobs at local businesses. Teenagers are well known for spending money, and businesses acknowledged the fact in 1986-87 by increasing their patronage of the Old Gold Black. Goal break- ing ad sales allowed the yearbook staff to add pages to Strike it Rich at no extra cost, and to include features in the ad section. Advertisers were often valuable to S.V. students as job sources as well. Companies participated in S.V.'s senior CO-OP program and hired students for evening jobs and other part-time work. All of these aspects combined to form a mutually beneficial relationship in the best interest of both students and advertisers.

For those of us who couldn't live it, we resorted to the daily soaps. During the summer it was easy to become an avid couch potato. August 22 not only meant the start of school, but also the end of daily television habits. School was quite an obstacle when it came to keeping up to date on programming. Some stu- dents resorted to video taping, oth- ers devoured Soap Opera Digest. In many cases, sick days were spent in front of the television. It's amazing the spontaneous illness students contract on days of trials, weddings, and other such occurences, in soaps that is. Will Hope and Bo ever have a last- ing relationship? To find the answers to these and other frequently asked questions SV students tuned in on vacations, sick days and the brief summer break. Kris McLiesh General Insurance Real Estate DOMENICK J.

CREATIVE ARTS MAGAZINE 1987 The 1986-1987 school year witnessed the birth of a new South Vermillion High School publication. The new magazine, a journal of creative arts, was printed by the High School graphic arts class. It included selected poetry and short stories from students, along with photographs of artwork created by students. The price of the publication was 50(t. A contest was organized to name the annual publica- tion. The prize was a gift certificate pro- vided by Wal-Mart and the name PRISM won the contest. Andy Kirkman thought up the winning title. PRISM included artwork by Scott Da- vis, Mark Stewart, Robert Slover, Kenny Jackson, Jeff Hastings, Brenda Haun, An- gela Everhart, Mitzi Lewis, and Bill Kline. Poems were selected from Robert Slover, Brooke Hawkins, Crystal Callese, Inga Beard, and Brent Lindsay. Stories were contributed by Chris Benskin, Cindy Ro- dert, Lisa Harris, Kristi Boardman, Steve Cvengros, Travis Jennings, and Brooke Overpeck. Project advisers were Mrs. Chrzastowski, Mrs. Kramer, and Mr. En- gerski. Mr. Waugh provided financial sup- port for the project. Graphic arts students that participated in printing PRISM were Mike Frazier, Jade Warren, Bob Dunkley, Tom Lucas, Dan Shew, Dennis Smith, Kevin Brown, Fred Craft, Tom Vic- ars, Steve Miller, Jamee Yates, John Smith, Jeff Kochvar, Larry McCoy, Kerry Robin- son, Rob Thomas, John Cinatto, Rick Mancourt, and Shawn Merrifield.

Special emphasis has been placed in areas where Lilly em- ployees have many skills to share. Both students and teachers from South Vermillion have toured Lil- ly's office, systems, laboratory, maintenance, and production fa- cilities. Chemists, craftspersons, engineers, secretaries, and other Lilly associates have talked with students about their work. Lilly has also supported academic pro- grams on a financial level, invited students in art classes to display their work at the plant, and sent representatives to conduct mock interviews for personal skills class- es. Eli Lilly and Company and South-Vermillin High School — business and education working together. ]im Copp, Ph.D., a member of the Partners in Education task force, talks with Mr, Scheller about the organic chemistry class's visit to Clin- ton Laboratories. Class mem- bers later conducted an ex- periment set up by Dr. Copp in the technical services laboratory. Co-op student Amy Rutan, left, works with adviser Kathy Baird in the information ser- vices area where the plant's mainframe computers are lo- cated. Amy was one of six co- op students who worked at Lilly each weekday afternoon.

Ad Poll Early in the 1986-87 school year, a random group of people were polled by the yearbook. The poll was an attempt to check up on student's latest tastes. The survey included favorite radio stations, soft drinks, stores, and magazines. The Coca Cola company won a close race for the favorite soft drink title. An S.V. student's fa- vorite place to shop was Meis, fol- lowed distantly by Hills. Pizza Hut was preferred as the place to eat and Levi's won the vote for the favorite clothing brand. The Disc Jockey and the Record Bar tied as favorite places to buy records. Chevy topped Ford and Dodge as the best make of vehicle. Seven- teen won the magazine competi- tion, and WZZQ was selected as the favorite radio station. Reebok shoes rounds out the list of win- ners as the favorite over Nikes and Converse. 1030 School Is A Waste Of ... Students often tell one another that school is a waste. The question is — A waste of what? One answer to that could be paper. Reflect for a moment on the amount of paper you see each day in a teacher's wastebasket at 7th hour. Now multiply that by the number of wastebaskets in all of the rooms. Multiply that by the number of days people are in the place. Add in the paper from the cafeteria and papers you bring home and dump in to the trash. Never thought about it before — huh? 158 ADVERTISING P T VIDEO Terry L. Wool wine, DVM Paula A.

Luckily parents could be very understanding and bail their poor teen out of bad situations once in a while. An S.V. student's car got him to work and back, let him Cruise The Bash , let him go to the game, or find some other form of re- creation. The responsibility that a student took on in getting a job to take care of his car was a maturing experience. Whether the car was a shiny new Fiero or a dirty, rusty green Plymouth, it was of the greatest importance to him. Robert Slover A car for many S.V. teenagers ranked close to the top of the pri- ority list. Sometimes parents did not seem to recognize the impor- tance of having a car. If you did something wrong though, the first words from Ol' Dad would be hand over the keys. Owning a car could be a real pain some- times, especially if you couldn't drive it. Owning a car could be a real responsibility too. Even if an S.V. student was lucky enough to receive a car as a gift, he almost certainly had to pay for gas, oil, tires, antifreeze, parts, re- pairs, insurance, license plates. and any other incidental costs. This almost certainly meant get- ting a job. That meant running around for applications and then trying to find time to work, sleep, eat, go to school, and study with- out neglecting any one of them. The gas crunch slackened a good deal in 86 and 87, but put- ting go juice in the buggy could still be a problem. Running from one place to another without money for gas was a real problem that many S.V. students faced. It could be a little embarassing to pay the attendant 39 t for gas and pray that you would make it to ADVERTISING 161 MATHEWS PARK Golf Course Sponsored By The Clinton Golf Association STE-MAR HARDWARE Electrical Plumbing Supplies 125 South Main Street Clinton, IN 47842 832-3136 LANG NELT INSURANCE AGENCY P.O.

And lastly, for all the ex- tra pictures in the book, a special thank you goes to Eric Smith, Stacey Vitaniemi, Brad and Bart Mooney, An- gie Yelich and the Clintonian and Creg Little. Colophon The SVHS yearbook staff worked one hour per day and outside class time to complete volume 72 of the 'Old Gold and Black'. Strike It Rich was printed by Jostens Year- book Co., Clarksville, Tennessee. Mr. Lance Baker served as our company representative and Mrs. Valerie Ezell was our in-plant consultant. Conrad Studios, Mike Kite, was our official senior portrait photographer. Underclassmen portraits were taken by National School Studios, Jim Watson, photographer. The book consisted of 180 pages in a 8V2 x 11 format, 475 copies of the 'Old Gold and Black' were printed. Design, art and layouts were done by the yearbook staff and advisor. Printed on 80 pound glossy paper, the book used a sewn bind- ing. The cover consists of 120-pound binders board. The litho design was produced in black 295 and metallic gold 174. The end sheets were done in gold dust 286. The book was purchased for $18 then to an increase of $21 and finally $25 upon arrival. The book was delivered and distributed in the fall of 1987. INDEX 175 Good times begin Closing in on another year 86-87 Remnants of notebooks and test papers spilled from lockers revealing combs, jewelry, money and various other articles that had been hidden from sight since school had begun. Halls became a combat zone with students dodging streams of water from squirt guns and bottles. An all-out war was declared in the commons, where some stu- dents decided to end the year with a bang by setting off firecrackers. Lunch time was party time. Many students enjoyed ev- erything from pizza to ham- burgers to ice cream, brought by way of parents, or seniors who had just grad- uated. Even with exams to take, most people made the most of the last day of school in some way. Whether it was locker cleaning, water fights, firecrackers, order-in lunches, or capturing the moment on film, it was a day to be remembered. And so the curtains closed on yet another school year. Mitzi Lewis After nine months of school, trash really piles up in students' lockers. Becky Berrisford clears out all her unwanted items from her locker. Waterfights were not an unfamiliar sight on the last day of school. Kirk Rohr surprises Brian Luce during a passing period. Clowning around and mingling in the morning took place toward the end of the year. Shawn Wilson and Brett Maloney perform for the year- book. 176 CLOSING Mike Shew uses his final lunch peri- od to read the Senior newspaper. It includes class prophecies, wills and memorable moments and tradition- ally comes out on the Seniors' last day. Going against what the teachers said was wrong made it more fun to enjoy the last few days of school. Keith Griffith A richness of heritage Spending days and days on a boat, Archie and Flavia Poletto, like so many other Clinton residents, came to North America hoping for a new life in a new country. Archie and Flavia came from a small provine in Italy called Vincenza which is near Venice. Archie was confused and only twenty-years old when he arrived in Canada in the winter of 1962, leav- ing his fiancee, Flavia, be- hind in Italy. His landing a job at American Motors in Toronto enabled him to re- turn to Italy, marry Flavia and bring her back to Cana- da. Nine years later in 1971, Archie and Flavia immigrat- ed into the United States and moved to Clinton where Archie's aunt lives. All dressed up in their Italian clothes are Archie and Flavia Po- letto during the Little Italy Festi- val. When asked why they chose Clinton, Flavia re- plied, I wanted to raise my children in a small town like we had been raised back in the old country. Archie and Flavia have two children who were both born in Canada. An- drew is a Math and Com- munications major at St. Jo- seph's College and Anna is a teacher. They both said that upon arriving in Clinton 16 years ago, all the people were helpful and friendly. When asked if they would ever move back to Italy they said, Our kids are here so we plan to always stay in Clinton. Kelly Gilman When all the exams have been tak- en there isn't much more to do dur- ing library. Rodney Webster uses his time to sleep on the library chairs. CLOSING 177 Success Accomplished goals Achievement — the one thing that most had accom- plished by the time May rolled around. Surviving the big research paper, making it through finals, achieving personal goals and just get- ting through the week were some of the accomplish- ments met. A sense of satisfaction fol- lowed as well as a feeling of relief when dreams became reality. Whether a personal goal or a school oriented ac- complishment, a great deal of effort was put forth to at- tain what was felt to be most important. One major goal the stu- dent body achieved was coming together as one. In the beginning SVHS was filled with classes of all sorts, but gradually everyone be- gan pulling together to cre- ate one big class — the stu- dent body. Overall, accomplishments gave students a chance to liven up the school year and also to use their striving abil- ity to Strike It Rich. Angie Bonebrake Carrying on his 4.0 gpa, Shawn Merrifield has a feeling of satisfac- tion after receiving his report card. The end of the year doesn't just re- quire studying, it also calls for year- end cleaning as demonstrated by Angie Notter. 178 CLOSING Graduation is a day filled with achievement. Dr. Spaulding con- gratulates John Brock just after he received his diploma. Here at SVHS, I feel I've received a better education because it has much more to offer than my previous school. Bill Spaulding An exhausted Mr. Wright takes ad- vantage of study hall to finish grad- ing some final exams. May 21 was officially the last day for seniors, but graduation practice called for them to be at school Fri- day morning by 8:25 a.m. CLOSING 179 Leaving our mark Setting a new pace Saying Goodbye” is never easy, even to your high school. )on Spurr finds a unique way by writing it on his mortarboard. 180 CLOSING In each one of us is some kind of tradition we carry on throughout our lives. Each class starts a new set of rules and traditions that they carry on for four years up thru Graduation. Tradition is born into many of us and in others it is acquired. The newcomers in our school adapt and change and a bit of our heritage manages to rub off on them, while they contribute a bit of themselves to us. This year we bid farewell to the class of '87 who have managed to blaze many trails during their four years at SVHS. Next year we will wel- come the class of '91 who will begin to pave a new path and create a new set of memories. Kelly Gilman JOSTENS
