After twelve weeks of summer, students prepared themselves for what they expected to be a routine year. The first months of school proved to be different. July, 1987 found the Marching Wildcats travelling to Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia, PA, where they performed in two Indepen- dence Day parades. Our band was the only Indiana band to receive the honor. Midway through November, Mr. Robert Waugh, SV principal, accept- ed a promotion to assistant superin- tendent of South Vermillion schools. He was succeeded by Mr. Terry Rus- sell. Changes were very prominent in the athletic department. Not one, NOTHING ROUTINE but nearly all the coaches were new. A welcomed highlight in sports came when SV pulled off its first home- coming victory in five years. Enrollment records were broken with 790 students in attendance. Because class sizes were larger, some middle school teachers split their day between the middle school and high school. To the dismay of students and fac- ulty members, the State legislature A year with more changes than ever before passed a bill requiring the make up of any days missed. Snow days be- came a luxury of the past. New disciplinary measures were also established. “Saturday School was designed to discourage repeat- ed violation of school policies. From the start, many events and changes promised a unique school year. Good, bad, or otherwise, the year would be unlike any other.

In- stead, everyone carried the same label — student. Even teachers sometimes became so wrapped up in their jobs, they temporarily forgot that their students were real people who, like the teachers, had lives out- side of school. Because we were more than students and teachers, leisure time became as important as the time spent in a classroom. Students found many activities to occupy their leisure time. Though some events, such as games and dances, were school-relat- ed, they provided a time for students to gather as people. When students needed a break from their homework, they discovered a variety of amusements. Shedding their student roles, they talked on the phone, watched TV, or went out with friends. Weekends gave students a chance to stray further from the academic routine. Shopping, going to movies, and dating only began the list of weekend pastimes. During the school day, most accepted their roles as students. At the dismiss- al of school, however, the title of “student” was relin- quished, and we went back to being teenagers. — Mitzi Lewis Transforming the cafeteria and foyer to set a romantic, yet festive, mood was accomplished with balloons, streamers, and table cloths. Cheerleaders sponsored the homecoming dance with the theme “Just One Night.” I Having extra money for play can make part-time jobs tolerable.

Parading down the streets of major U.S. cities The Marching Wildcats spent four exciting days touring and marching in Washington D. C. and Philadelphia As members of the band boarded the Turner coaches on July 1, they had no idea what the trip would hold. Un- til that minute the parades in Washington D.C. and Phila- delphia hadn’t seemed with- in such a small band’s grasp. Even with the endless line of fund raisers and miles of practice, the dream only be- came a reality after the bus- es pulled out of the high school parking lot. After a difficult night trying to sleep in bus seats and feelings of excitement, the band arrived at the nation’s capital. The White House, Capital Building, and Smith- sonian Institute were all toured before the band even had a chance to change clothes. The day ended with pizza, shopping, and most importantly — the first bath in two days. The third day brought the Philadelphia Freedom Festi- val parade. After a tour of the city the band prepared for what they thought would -he—iust another lone, hot march. Their feelings changed as they moved into position. The unfamiliarity of marching between skyscrap- ers and being cheered on by total strangers helped many of them get through, despite temperatures of over 100. Mike Frazier said, “The crowd was awesome. The people were screaming for Indiana, even if they didn't know where it was.” The 4th of July Celebra- tion parade in Washington D.C. led off the next day’s events. Although it was not as large as the Philadelphia parade, it was exciting just being the only high school band from Indiana to march down Constitution Avenue. The parade was followed by a trip on the subway to the National Zoo and ended with fireworks display over the Potomac. On Sunday the band turned its attention home. Four exciting days had come to an end. It was time to re- turn home once again. Bags were repacked, but now with souvenirs and memories too. One more night on the bus and they were home — 1000 miles away. — Misty Wright THE day passed slowly as the band waited to march the final parade. The heat of the after noon caused many members to dread even the thought of having to get out of the shade. 8 BAND TRIP THE steps of the Capital Building were the perfect resting place for the band members as they finished their first stop in Washington. It also turned out to be a good place for a picture with copies being sent from Rep. John Myers to all those on the trip. IT was no wonder the band felt nervous while marching in the Washington parade. A crowd of several thousand had gathered to watch as South Vermillion's band and many other entries passed.

A week of fun, competing, and winning Homecoming festivities makes SI spirit shine. Seniors take top honors. Posters were hung. Com- petitions were planned. A bonfire was built. The foot- ball team practiced. And tickets were sold for the dance. This could mean only one thing — it was Home- coming week. Monday morning marked the start of the week with the decorating of the halls, one of the competitions. The Seniors won but only after the judging was postponed until Tuesday and several of the decorations from all the classes had fallen or were torn down. Spirit was shown in full force on Wednesday night as the classes all came togeth- week. It became history with a final score of 21-19. The Wildcat team had won the first Homecoming game in five years. Senior co-captain Dieter Kaufman said, “It meant more to me than any other game I have ever played. Winning the game was great for all the Seniors because we were able to cel- ebrate at least one Home- coming victory.” During the half-time, Tonya McCullough was crowned Homecoming queen. She said, “If there was such a thing as twenty million emotions, I felt them all when I heard my name announced. er in the gym to find who had the most spirit. Tug-of war, banana eating, and pyr- amid building were just a few of the competions offered. With the final cheers came the lighting of the bonfire and the sacrificing of the dummy. The football game was one of the high points of the The week came to a close on Saturday night with the Homecoming dance. Boy- friends, girlfriends, and just friends gathered in a balloon filled room. They danced this “Just One Night” away and with the playing of the final song, Homecoming came to a close. — Misty Wright TEARS of excitement stream down Tonya McCullough’s face as she is crowned Homecom- ing queen, Matt Hill and Dieter Kaufman, co- captains of the football team, and Lisa Ball, Student Council representative, present her with the crown, robe, and flowers. HOMECOMING 11 A Shakespearean play performed a new way Lovers, fairies, and would-be actors coming together in one plot to form a most complicated but funny play. As the lights dimmed, an- ticipation mounted in the cast and crew of the fall play, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream. They had per- formed the show for what seemed like a million times, but not like this. Tonight they had an audience. The play told of lovers, fairies, and would-be actors. It led off with two young lov- ers, Hermia (Nancy Albin) and Lysander (Andy Kirk- man), and their plans to elope. Hermia had been prom- ised to Demetrius before though. She did not love him, but Helena (Brooke Overpeck) did. Upon learning of the lov- ers’ plan, Demetrius went looking for them with Helena in close pursuit. Oberon (Chris Benskin), King of the Fairies, over heard Helena’s plea and sent Puck (Brian Taylor) to make Demetrius love her. This was to be done with the juice of a special flower being placed on De- metrius' eyes, but a mistake ended in both Lysander and Demetrius loving Helena. Meanwhile, Oberon and his queen Titania (Inga Beard) were quarreling. In an attempt to win, he used the flowers juice on her and hoped she would fall for some vile creature. Puck had arranged for this by turning Bottom (Philip Harri- A disinterested wall (Greg Strobel) dreads the upcoming kiss through his chink as Thisbe (Jenny Sheller) pledges her love to Pyramus.

However, by the end of the play and with a little help, he loved her as much as she loved him. son) a hideous actor, into a donkey . When Titania awoke this was her love. Oberon then won the battle and released his wife. For Bottom, who was returned to normal, the night seemed like a dream. The lovers felt the night was just a dream too. Lysan- der was in love with Hermia again and, Demetrius, al- though he didn’t know why, was in love with Helena. According to Nancy Albin, “This year's play was a big challenge because of the Shakespearean dialogue. Ev- eryone worked really well to- gether and the show was a big success; at least to us.” — Misty Wright AS Bottom (Philip Harrison) sleeps, Puck (Bri- an Taylor) and Oberon (Chris Benskin) free Titania (Inga Beard) of her spell. She was shocked to learn she had loved a donkey . THE lion (Brad Mooney) demonstrates how to discard a bloody scarf and still appear harmless to the women. However he had to be vicious enough to rip the scarf so Pyramus would think his love had been eaten. JESTER (James Gambil), Demetrius (Brent Fra- zier, Theseus (Brandon Pepelea), Hippolita (Mitzi Lewis), and Helena (Brooke Overpeck) turn their heads to watch the band of actors prepare to perform. It was hard not to stare at such a comical group. FALL PLAY 13 LORRIE West shows her artistic ability not only through her paintings but by the ways she does her hair. Crimpping was one of the many new but old styles. HOMEMADE yarn bracelets were one of the many fashions used to express individuality since no two were alike. Brandee Howard shows how simple they are to make. STAYING traditional but unique, Danny Dugger has just one white wall with stripes’’ while many others have four or five. 14 FASHIONS Fashions — an individual choice The more things change the more they stay the same Keeping up with the ever changing trends in fashion became a full-time job for some students. Establishing ones own look was interest- ing, fun, and especially ex- hausting for the clothing budget. The most stable part of a student’s wardrobe was a selection of various styles of blue jeans. However, even these underwent alter- ations. Holes torn in the knees or legs were a must for some. Of course, a ward- robe was not complete with- out at least one frosted item. Boots also make a come- back 60’s style. Go-go boots were again the rage. From white with fringe and beads to black with metal buckles, there was a style to fit every event and lifestyle. Individual taste entered into all aspects of fashion se- lections. Hairstyles went from the boy or girl next door to wild and funky. Mousse and gel manufac- tures made a fortune no matter what the style. Mrs. Terri Turchi summed it up with the statement, ‘‘The fashions for last year were great because they al- lowed people to be them- selves.” Personal prefer- ence was the single most important factor in deciding how to dress. JEANS of any sort were a necessity to some wardrobes, the older and frayed, the better. Rob Katzmarek shows the simple way of wear- ing them. BUSY at work, Lori Crossley stays with old styles but keeps up with new ones. Boots were a major factor that could be worn comfortably or dressy. FASHIONS 15 . 16 HOBBIES COMPETITION, responsibilities, and dedication are important aspects of some hobbies. Nikki Overpeck is the owner of a herd of 20 cattle which she shows competively around the coun- try. When over it’s time to play Hobbies provide outlets for the much needed free hours Seven hours in school was less than 1 3 of each day. How to spend the other 2 3's was never a problem; solutions ranged from just hanging out to career orient- ed hobbies. Webster defines hobbies as activities one engages in for relaxation. SV students interpreted that definition in many different ways. Music inspired students to form groups which per- formed for personal enjoy- ment as well as for profes- sional gains. Garages were easily converted into studios once the school day ended. Hobbies weren’t solely lei- sure time activities. For those with a 4-H involve- ment hobbies sometimes meant added responsibil- ities. Raising and showing animals were not uncom- mon. Junior, Brent Frazier said, “My horse, Rocket, is very important to me. I wouldn’t want to do anything else. Just-for-fun activities were the highest priority. Bike riding, cruising, and shopping were just a few ways to unwind from a full day of classes. Having something to do to break the monotony of each day was a necessity for most students. Whether it was an educational or a leisure ac- tivity, it was not important. How the time was spent was of the essence. CENTRAL Elementary after hours is not as emp- ty as believed. Freestylers Mike Lowry and lack Stefani christen Central as their meeting place. ROCKET and rider. Brent Frazier, take an after- noon ride. Brent has to fit the responsibility of caring for his horse into a busy work, school and extra-curricular schedule. HOBBIES 17 THE opportunity to totally redecorate one’s room comes seldom for most. Cara DalSasso adds the final touches to her “new bedroom by placing a border around the perimeter. More than just a place to sleep Bedrooms offered a place for privacy, Polaroid Supercok Video solitude, and self-expression. Clothes covered the floor of the small room. Bruce Springstein, Patrick Swayze, and Alf hung crookedly on the wall. The bed was un- made but this went unno- ticed because it was covered by what come might call junk. Although the owner might even admit it was a mess, it didn’t matter, it was a teenager's heaven. Few places were set aside just for a teenager. However everyone usually had one room or at least part of a -..room to call his her own. Al- though frequent demands were made to clean it up, a teenager could do almost anything he she wanted to his her bedroom. Personalities were re- vealed. in the appearance of one’s bedroom. Some were like the one described earli- er while others were just the opposite. Lauri Shonk admit- ted, “My mom calls my room the Bermuda Triangle — things go in but never come out.” Whether clean or messy, the way a room looked said a lot about the owner. Much of one's spare time was spent in the bedroom. They were the perfect place for doing homework, talking ■on the phone, or just relax-' ing. Krista Porter said, “I like the privacy of my room. It’s the only place I can go and get away from my parents. Misty Wright FOR those who played musical instruments, bedrooms often doubled as practice studios.

In the swing of things Dances provide times to come together for good music and fun. Excitement was in the halls when a dance was ap- proaching. The closer it got, the more frenzied the atmo- sphere. Buying dresses, making reservations, order- ing flowers, and simply an- ticipating time to spend to- gether. Dates weren’t required at the semi-formal dances, but there weren't many in attendance without a date. With semi-formal attire be- ing worn, it was an opportu- nity for a night on the town. The dances were spon- sored by various student or- ganizations, student council sponsored the Christmas Dance, and the newspaper staff sponsored the Sweet- heart Dance. When a semi-formal dance was coming up it was well known and a much waited for event. Additional dances, after ball games or on a free weekend night were held throughout the year. These were also sponsored by vari- ous student organizations. Mika Craig stated, “It’s a change from just going to the movie or something.” Mr. Russell, in conjunction with student approval, is- sued a new policy. This poli- cy was stated so that all stu- dents would be in attendance within thirty minutes of the start of a dance. This was for the af- ter-game dances. It protect- ed the student body by di- minishing problems, it also providied opportunities for more dances in the future.

DANCES 21 Relationships built on trust A special person to share special times What is a relationship without trust? Not much! Trust was the key word in any working relationship. Whether it was your special someone, your best friend, or the people you hung around with on Saturday nights, trust was the back- bone of it all. The personal relationships were the major aspects of everyday life. Within every relationship there were good and bad times. Fights, be- trayal, and jealousy could destroy the bond between people. Arguments were an everyday occurence for some. But all in all a true friendship could withstand anything. Trusting others wasn’t al- ways easy, but having a friend to talk to make the rough times smoother. Peer relationships usually took precedence over family relationships. Freshman Angie Ellis said, A best friend is someone to do things with and someone who will trust your secrets.” Comfort, Sharing and sim- ply being together has a bonding effect on relation- ships. Nancy Meadors said, “In time of need a special friend is always there,” Julie Delph 22 RELATIONSHIPS PERSONAL friendships were not limited to male- female relationships. Jack Coonce and Frankie Mediate take time to look at a yearbook. SHARING special moments together is a part of any growing relationship.

RELATIONSHIPS 23 FIREMEN came to the rescue just in time to save the kids and the computers. Fire chief Bob Miller listens to A.J. and Jennifer’s explaination while his men free Randy and Sharon from their ropes. 24 MUSICAL CONVINCING Albert (Chris Benskin) to help in the plan required the use of blackmail. AJ. (Brent Frazier) and Jennifer (Tami Corado) threaten to tell how Albert entered the school’s computer system if he doesn’t help. Creating a computer comedy Many hours of preparation and work went into making “When the Chips are Down a success. pany for stealing his ideas many years before. Jennifer (Tami Corado) wanted re- venge on a teacher for giving her friend sixteen hours of detention. Both learned that revenge didn’t pay when their schemes intertwined. A.J. (Brent Frazier) was in charge of planning Jenni- fer's revenge. He devised a scheme for them to break into the school computer and change the teacher’s file. They enlisted the help of Albert (Chris Benskin), as well as three others, and were ready for the plan. Upon finishing their task, they discovered Jaggert’s plan to blow up the entire line of computers, which couldn’t be allowed to take place. The kids were once more forced to break into the school. This time to stop Jaggert. Again they were dis- covered, but being grounded was the least of their wor- ries. Jaggert had learned their attempt to stop him and had waited for them. He tied the kids together and left them in a room filled with the soon-to-be nonexis- tant computers. A.J., Jenni- fer, and the others all used their heads, especially Punker (Inga Beard) who was able to set off the alarm with her head. The firemen came just in time to untie the kids, allowing Albert to stop the destruction. Everyone who was in- volved in the production felt a sense of relief when the curtains closed on Saturday. Walda Louden commented, ‘‘It was the longest six weeks of my life.” However, James Gambill said, “I was worried when I found out that only the choir was going to be in the musical, but I thought we did a really good job. Misty Wright As the house lights dimmed over the audience, the cast of the spring musi- cal hurried to their places. The chaos was quickly orga- nized into neat rows of stu- dents as the curtains began to open. The stage was transformed into a high-tech world, the setting of ‘‘When the Chips Are Down”. The musical centered on one intention ... revenge. Professor Jaggert (Philip Harrison) wanted revenge on the ICM computer com- SHflRON (Stephanie McCord) and Randy (lames Gambill), as well as A.J. and Jennifer, learned the dangers of revenge. After tying the kids together, Professor Jaggert (Philip Harri- son) explains his plans to the captive audience. PANCAKE make-up had to be worn by all actors and actresses while on stage. Brent Frazier strives to get just the right look for his role. MUSICAL 25 In the news Child trapped for 58 hours How can an abandoned well only eight inches wide devour a 21l 2 pound little girl? Eighteen-month-old Jessica McClure was playing at her Aunt Jamie Moore's home daycare center in Mid- land, Texas with four other children. Somehow she slipped into an abandoned well shaft that had been cov- ered with a heavy rock, but how she fell in will never be known. No one could tell how far down she was or even if she was still alive. Sensitive equipment was used to pick up sounds of the little girl and oxygen was sent down to her. They didn’t send food down to her for fear she might choke. ||| • 57% 42% Dukakis Bush 59 43 We interrupt this broad- cast to bring you the follow- ing update on ‘Campaign 88’. For many these words brought on at least one half- hour of boredom. It seemed that like in most election years, the country revolved around slogans and scandal. Newspapers, magazines, radio stations, and television specials all kept the voter in- formed of any new develop- ments in the campaign. From Jesse Jackson winning the primaries in one state to It was finally known that she was in an upright posi- tion with her right foot up by her forehead twenty-nine feet below ground. After 58 hours, they finally were able to get to her through anoth- er tunnel dug nearby. The circulation was cut off to her foot and they thought it would have to be amputat- ed. Luckily, she only had to have her little toe removed and skin grafts done to her forehead where her foot rubbed against it. Jessica captured the hearts of millions across America who kept tuned in to radios, televisions, and newspapers to find out what was happening to ‘‘Baby Jessica.” a debate between George Bush and Michael Dukakis, the publicity seemed never ending. But even though there was an overload of in- formation, the various me- dia kept the public informed of the actions and views of the presidential candidates. The presidential office was not the only one to be filled however. State and local po- sitions were also voted on in ’88. The offices ranged from sheriff to senator. Each was to be given proper consider- ation by voters. Although few students had the right to vote, when the Indiana primary was held on May 3, those that could ex- ercised their constitutional rights as legal adults. While some offices were officially filled, the major one was yet to be decided. It was time to wait until November of ’88 to elect a president. Twins win Series The Minnesota Twins had the best home record, and the worst away record in the American League. On the other hand, the St. Louis Cardinals have a past histo- ry of taking the World Series to the final showdown, game 7. Minnesota had a definite plus at home with the loud- ness of the Hubert H. Hum- phrey Metrodome, and the enthusiasm produced by the ‘‘Homer Hanky. They call their dome the “Homer- dome”, mainly because it is one of the easiest places to hit a round-tripper. St. Louis had a very enthu- siastic crowd also. In Busch Stadium, it was a sea of red in games 3, 4, and 5. Games 1 and 2 went to the Twins at home 10-1, and 8-2. Games 3, 4, and 5 went to the Cardinals at home 3- 1, 7-2, and 4-2. Then back to Minnesota where the Twins put the icing on the cake 11- 5, and 4-2 in game 7. The Series MVP went to pitcher Frank Viola for his outstanding performances in games 1 and 7. At the beginning of the season, the Minnesota Twins were 125 to 1 odds to win the World Series. Second Baseman Steve Lambro- dozzi said this of his Cinder- ella” Twins, “We are no long- er the Twinkies.

The album was released on August 31, 1987. The album included the hit singles, “BAD, “Man in the Mirror” and “I Just Can’t Stop Lov- ing You. On September 12, 1987 Michael set his year long tour in Tokyo, then he moved on to the U.S. Michael made his first live appearance in four years on the grammy awards in March raising one's social conscience. The “Man in the Mirror” video dealt with everyday problems of world poverty, government apathy and tragedies; enouogh for any- one to want to “make that change.” Julie Delph Aids can affect anyone Should aids testing be mandatory? Could you imagine want- ing to attend school, but not being able to, or being a per- son who loves their work, but couldn't? People in America had dreams that were only limited by the dis- ease AIDS. Acquired Im- mune Deficiency Syndrome, known as AIDS, put confine- ment on the lives of people and what they could accom- plish. By the time the coun- try acknowledged the sever- ity of the disease, it was felt to be too late for anything to Super Bowl week focused on Denver's John Elway and his Three Amigos, wideouts Mark Jackson, Ricky Nattiel and Vance Johnson. Super Bowl Sunday, however, found viewers focused on a 42-10 final score — Wash- ington. Doug Williams, Timmy Smith, Ricky Sand- ers and the rest of the Wash- ington Redskins scored 35 points on 5 touch downs in an incredible second quarter to turn a 10-0 deficit into a 35-10 lead, thereby ending the show before the Rock- ettes could even get warmed up for their halftime numbers. In that dazzlilng second quarter Washington racked up a play-off record 356 yards offense, breaking the old record by 14. That may even be a regular-season reord as well; the statistical people weren’t sure.

More people became affect- ed by the disease.

Smith, a surprise starter for George Rogers rushed for 131 yards in the first half, five more than he had the entire regu- lar season. He finished with 204 yards, breaking another Super Bowl record. Ricky Sanders also turned in an impressive performance in finishing with 193 yards and 9 receptions to topple yet another record. The Red- skins were so “on” their game that they even broke the record for breaking records. The Redskins' record- breaking spree was not typi- cal of how the game started. The Broncos scored on their first offensive play, a 56- yard pass from Elway to Ricky Nattiel and added three more points on their second possesion on Rick Karli's 24-yard field goal.

It was followed by a defense that limited Elway to two completions in 15 at- tempts in that period, sacked him four times and picked off three of his passes.

Beginning with the 56- yard touchdown pass from Elway to Nattiel on their first play from the scrimmage, the Broncos befuddled the Redskins in the first quarter with just about everything in their diverse playbook. While Washington was starting its first five possessions at its own 20 or worse and open receivers were dropping passes, Denver was moving up and down the field. The second period, how- ever, arrived and Washing- ton started it the way Den- ver started the first — hot.

A local concern Burn it here? Store it here? Transport it and burn it somewhere else? The VX controversy will continue for some time. What is VX? It was the most lethal chemical war- fare agent known to man. A drop on the skin could have caused death in a matter of minutes. It was stored in Newport, Indiana. Many proposals Fall from glory “Hallelujah, Praise the Lord, Amen. These phrases were not uncommon to tele- vision. Sunday mornings, as well as late night television, became plagued with many television evangelists. Many watchers tuned in every night making heroes of the preachers. However, scan- dals made headlines as some of these people fell from grace. Jessica Hahn came for- ward to publically announce she had an affair with Jim Bakker this year. Although he denied it at first, he finally admitted something hap- pened. Tammy Faye, his wife, cried as she publically forgave him. The PTL club, his television program , did not forgive him though. The couple was fired after it was made known that they were were made on how to dis- pose of it. One idea was to destroy it by incineration at the Newport Army Ammuni- tion plant. Another idea was to transport the remaining VX to a national dump site, away from people. With an incineration at Newport, many citizens were afraid of a leak, or an explosion. If taken to an iso- lated area, it would have taking a portion of the dona- tions made by viewers to purchase their mansion, several cars, and to add on to their set, which was al- ready worth millions. Hahn still continued to try to make her innocence ap- parent as she did a complete story in Playboy, in which she was the centerfield. Jimmy Swaggert also fell from grace when his rende- vou with prostitutes were uncovered. Although he claimed the meetings were just pornographic acts, he was suspended from the pul- pit, while capturing the cov- er of People magazine. Despite their actions many people still believed in both Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggert, saying they were only human, while others lost faith in both men. 28 MINI MAG been transported by train. This had been done safely for the past forty years, al- though there was always chances of an incident by derailment. The Army had complete control over what was to be done with the supplies of VX. They had the experience and capabilities to decide on where and how the VX would be destroyed safely. The Army recommended outside incineration. They wanted to start testing of the process in 1997 in Iowa, testing it for a year to make sure of its safety. Starting in December of 1990 the investigation, plan- ning, and designing would begin at Newport, Indiana. If it was decided to burn the VX at the Newport site, it would be done May of 1995 through September of 1996. Nothing would be decided until 1990. Heidi Bruce October 19, 1988: Black Monday Dow Jones plunges 508 pts. The period of October 16 through the nineteenth was dubbed “The Panic of '87”. When the closing bell rang at 4:00 p.m. on Monday, Octo- ber 19, dubbed Black Mon- day, the Dow Jones had plunged 508 points. A sum of $500 billion in paper value was lost. Economists blamed the stock market rash on the staggering trade deficit and rising interest rates. Some critics believe that “pro- gram trading” with comput- ers was also a cause. The computer programs acceler- ated the buying and selling of equities. The after-effects of Black Monday were felt worldwide: I in Tokyo, London, Hong Kong, and Paris. On Tuesday stock prices fell by 12.2% in London, 15% in Tokyo, 6% I in Paris, on top of big losses Monday. Besides panic and chaos, the stock market crash pro- : duced some big losers.

Picture courte- sy of UPI The 50th annual NCAA tournament held in Kansas City, Missouri pitted Big Eight rivals Kansas and near- by Oklahoma against one another. The Jayhawks of Kansas entered the game with a so-so record of 27-11. Oklahoma on the other hand had an impressive record of 35-4. In a seesaw battle that cul- minated in the final minutes, the underdog Jayhawks, led by Danny Manning, pulled off a stunning upset by beating the sooners in a final count The 25th Winter Olympic games in Calgary, Alberta, provided a chance for life- long dreams to be achieved. McMahon Stadium was the sight of the opening ceremo- nies, which was considered the most colorful winter cer- emony in history. The United States began the Games on a tragic note. Speed skater Dan Jansen re- ceived news of his sister Jane’s death to leukemia. He found this out the morn- ing before he was going to have to skate the 500. Dan fell in the 500 competition, eliminating him from a chance for the gold. Dan had a few days to sort his feel- ings, and concentate on the upcoming 1000. Tragically, Dan fell again, he was left in a dazed disbelief of the week's happenings. After he was eliminated, he flew back home for his sister’s funeral, but returned to be with the team for the closing cere- monies. There was a show down between the U.S. and Cana- da in the Men’s Figure Skat- of 83-79. It was Kansas’ sec- ond national title since 1952, and coach Larry Brown's first in three trips to the final four. The win was a fitting end to an up-and-down season for the Jayhawks.

Boitano’s higher marks in technical merit, brought home the gold, while Orser's close second, awarded him the silver. A similar situation pre- sented itself in the womens’ competition. America’s Debi Thomas and Russia’s Katar- ina Witt squared off for gold medal honors. Debi ran into a few problems, while Katar- ina skated a very respect- able performance. Canada's Elizabeth Manley displayed an outstanding perfor- mance, which proved to take the silver. Thomas had to settle for the bronze, as Witt took the gold. The United States sal- vaged only six medals, while the Soviets led in the medal count with 29. The U.S. was plagued with bad luck, and depressions from their showings.

U third Indy victory, picture courtesy UPI Mears wins Indy 500 After setting speed records in qualifying for the Indianapolis 500 pole posi- tion, Rick Mears did not sur- prise anyone when he cap- tured his third 500 victory. Mears did become the first pole winner to take the flag since Bobby Unser did seven years ago and joined Johnny Rutherford as the only two- time winner from the pole. However due to a record fourteen yellow flags Mears' winning average was only 144.809 mph. This was the slowest since Unser’s vic- tory. Mears did have some problems at the beginning of the race. His Penske car, which was made especially for the race, offered the pit crew a challenge as they searched for the right align- ment. After several tire com- binations and working on the aerodynamics and wing set- tings, they were able to find the right combination to gain Mears a place in the winners circle.

Recognizing excellence Students receive awards for outstanding accomplishments As students began arriving in the auditorium they no- ticed many of the seats were already occupied. Parents, as well as those students be- ing honored, had already filled the first rows. The award winners came from all classes and were honored for various reasons. While the awards given on honors day were for a vari- ety of different accomplish- ments another award was given solely for academic ex- cellence. The recipients of these awards were juniors who maintained a GPA of 3.75 or better. They re- ceived rings at a banquet, which also honored their fa- vorite teachers. Those sen- iors who had continued to maintain this GPA received the Academic Excellence Award II. As the first recipi- ents of this award they re- ceived gold medallions on honors day, which were worn during graduation. All award winners could be proud of their accomplish- ments, while the other stu- dents could set goals for the future.

It had required hours of pleading but now the money was available and it was off to the movies with friends. This wasn’t an everyday oc- currence, but this time it worked. Once again it was proven few were above beg- ging for cash. Along with parents, rela- tives and employers were other sources used to ac- quire money. Although stu- dents often had to work to gain necessary funds, most found having money was worth the time they spent laboring. The best thing about working for Mary Beardsley was “the good feeling I get when I’m paid . Sometimes gifts also meant financial gain. Birth- EVEN getting ice cream cones required cash. Fred Craft and Susan Rumple take time out from their shopping to pick up a snack at Baskin Robbins. WORKING at a restaurant like Druthers proved to be demanding sometimes. Tabby Twigg col- lects the money for the purchase. 32 MONEY days, Christmas, gradua- tion, and other major events were occasions on which money might be received. Once one had received money, the opportunities seemed endless. For some students, necessities such as buying gasoline topped the list of purchases. Kenny Shepard said, “All my mon- ey goes to buying gas for the big yellow hog. Others en- joyed the freedom of being able to buy whatever they wanted. Both girls and guys en- joyed shopping. I save my money to buy clothes on shopping trips, comment- ed Angie Bynum. Shopping wasn’t the only thing that required money. Going to the movies, playing miniature golf, and eating out also were money moochers. Danny Dugger said, “I spent a lot of my money on my girlfriend. I got paid on Friday and by Mon- day my money is gone. Despite all the ways mon- ey could be spent, some still were able to save a little. However, bank deposit books were seldom used un- less there was something special to save for. Brent Frazier said, I’m saving my money to buy a car.” Misty Wright PRICES were one of the major factors to be considered when deciding whether or not an item could be purchased.

MONEY 33 Wish upon a star Memories of a lifetime The excitement started with the early morning prom preparations. Cars were washed, flowers were bought, and even some final purchases were made. Then, still hours before the dance, the ritual of taking showers, curling hair, and painting nails began. With the final step of getting dressed completed, prom night had arrived. However, plans were made long before May 14, 1988. Dates were decided, dresses were bought, tuxes were rented, and reserva- tions were confirmed. Many hours had been spent in the attempt to make prom a night of magic. For most, prom night included an ele- gant dinner at a favorite res- taurant. Then it was off to the Heritage Ball Room in Tirey Memorial on the ISU campus for an evening of dancing and socializing. The theme of “Wish Upon A Star” seemed appropriate for such an anticipated event. However, many were just wishing the DJ, who was an hour late, would arrive. At 9:30 Polly Connell was crowned Queen while Aaron Edrington became King. At midnight the prom end- ed. With the finish of the fi- nal song the magic weak- ened. The anticipation and ex- citement that had surround- ed the event were slowly fading into the memories that would last a lifetime. MRS.

A ride on the luxury line End to fantasy evening As prom ended, the time for tuxes and formals passed. Once again it was time for shorts and T-shirts. The excitement from the special night could not just end, and such feelings would not allow sleep. Instead stu- dents were offered the chance to play on a “luxury liner.” A DJ, food, and lots of games were enough to lure many students to the high school foyer for the post prom party. As juniors worked on pre- paring the perfect prom, their parents were also busy. They were in charge of planning the party that would follow. It was difficult to dream of enough games to keep the many juniors and seniors busy until 4:00 a.m., when post-prom end- ed. That was not their only job though. They also ar- ranged for several prizes and, of course, the ample supply of food. Raising enough money to finance their dream also re- quired hard work. Bake sales and raffles were held often. Donations were also collect- ed. Wal-Mart, as well as oth- er businesses, supplied post- prom with not only money, but also some of the door prizes. Students began arriving at 12:30 and were given leis as they signed in. They spent hours just having fun. Then when 4:00 a.m. arrived, the party dwindled and many sleepy people realized their big night was over. DRAWING without talking can be hard, but many went ahead and tried their luck at Win, Lose, or Draw, the famous television show and board game.

Old memories, new paths Commencement marked an end and a beginning for the Class of '88 As Exodus, the preces- sional, began, the first sen- iors went to their seats. Mixed emotions were felt as their friends filed into the rows behind them. The sen- iors realized this would be the last time they would all be together. The bond that had held them would break when the tassels were turned. However, even knowing this, they were not completely sad. After all, this was the day they had waited for since they had en- tered high school. They had watched the classes before them graduate dreaming if their day. This, May 28, 1988, was it. CLASS sponsors arrived early to help students prepare for the ceremony. Mrs. Meyers helps Deanna Holston attach the collar to her gradua- tion robe.

Three valedictorians, Shawn Merrifield, Lori Waugh, and Nikki Overpeck, as well as Salutatorian Michelle Lewis, reminded everyone of past experiences while also speaking of the future. Many changes had oc- curred since the class be- fore them graduated. A Ma- rine color guard presented the flags before the seniors arrived. A stage was also added which students crossed right to left when they received their diplo- mas. This was opposite of what was done in previous years. The diplomas were given out and upon the announce- ment of the last name, it was time to complete the cere- mony. Mr. Russell instructed the seniors to turn their tas- sels. Led by Senior class president Kris McLeish the official rite of passage took place. As the seniors tossed their caps, the band began to play the processional. Gradua- tion ceremonies were over and the only other activity would be the many parties that had been planned to celebrate. Misty Wright AFTER four years of preparation, the moment finally came. Shawn Merrifield, one of three valedictorians, glances at his diploma before continuing across the stage. FOR both seniors and underclassmen, gradua- tion was a little sad.

SPORTS Athletes . . . teams Athletics offered an outlet in which many students were able to set and achieve goals. The skills learned were not exclusive to sports. They were skills which would carry the athletes into their futures. Sports provided a chance for individ- uals to excel person- ally. But not only did athletes participate as individuals, they combined physical skills to become a team. Students dis- covered more about themselves and their teammates as the season brought “thrills of victories’’, and “agonies of de- feats.'

The Homecoming atmo- sphere was in the air that Friday night, it was a great example of a school pulling together as one.” Coach Tim Terry stated this about his team’s 21-19 Homecoming victory. He ap- proached his first year, not as a job, but as a mission. Not only did he change the physical approach to the game; he also changed the mental. The Cats’ recorded a 3-6 record, including a 3-4 record in the very tough WRC. Terry feels perhaps some of the reason for the record was the team's lack of consistency. The Cats had many pluses that the record does not show. Such as a growing bond between the student body and the pro- gram. Coach Terry believes his first year can be consid- ered a success. He stated this of his team, I believe we are realizing the effort it takes to be a winner on the field and in the classroom. We did not have a single var- sity player become ineligi- ble, this showed the desire they had.” Although the Cats were defeated 17-0 by Lebanon in the sectional, they had shown many improvements over the season. They also placed senior Dieter Kauf- man and junior Jim Lucas on the All-Conference team. The following team awards were presented at the banquet: Outstanding Defensive Back and Most Tackles, Jim Lucas; Out- standing Offensive Back, Dennis Smith; Outstanding Offensive Lineman, Dieter Kaufman; Mental Attitude, Matt Hill; and Most Yardage, Matt Crouch. The J.V. Cats clawed their way to a 2-4-1 record. Coach Brad Dunham said the high point of the season was defeating Rockville 20-0 in the final game.

The team had many bright moments. The Wildcats swept the North Montgom- ery Doubles Tournament by taking all four doubles titles, plus the team trophy. They placed second in the Sullivan Invitational, and finished 5-0 in the conference. The three singles spots were occupied by Shawn Wilson, Kirk Rohr and Marc Ugo. Coach Waclawek stat- ed the following about his singles players. Shawn played some strong tennis all year, he worked hard for the spot (WRC). Kirk had an up and down year, he played through some tough match- es for us. Marc had a super year finishing with a 15-4 record.” Six players shared the first and second doubles posi- tions. The six were seniors Andy Kirkman, Scott Royer, junior Steve Marietta, soph- omores Boomer Grange, Andy Rayl and Jon Beards- ley. Coach Waclawek stated of the seniors Kirkman and Royer, “Both of these guys were strong doubles players, and added a lot to team mo- rale.” Special awards were given away at the banquet: Most Varsity Wins, Marc Ugo; Most Improved, Jon Beards- ley; Mental Attitude (Varsi- ty), Scott Royer; Mental At- tutide (JV), Kelcey Overpeck.

The boys’ team, led by Brent Thompson’s third place fin- ish, placed fourth in section- als thus becoming the first S.V. team to qualify for re- gionals. For the girls’ team, Brooke Thompson finished ninth in sectionals which en- abled her to be the first S.V. girl to advance to semistate. The boys’ team finished the season with a 7-2 record. Mr. Byrer, in his final year as cross country coach, felt first year runners Paul Potts and Jamie Perry along with sophomore Lewis Gard- ner improved significantly. Combined with senior Ron Baysinger and Brent Thomp- son, they became the best five runners he has had on the same team. In the boys’ WRC meet, the team was second, and Brent Thomp- son finished third to win an All-Conference spot. The girls’ cross country team compiled a 5-2 dual meet record. In the first ever WRC meet for girls, Brooke Thompson and Denise Hol- landbeck made the All-Con- ference team with a one-two finish and led the team to a second place finish overall. Coach Bryer also stated, “First year runners Dani Fer- guson, Becky Hollandbeck, and Desiree Donoho im- proved over the season.

The Lady Wildcatfish also wanted to win as many dual meets as possible, and vic- tories over sectional foes Southmont, Fountain Cen- tral, and North Montgomery helped pace the team to an 11-4 finish. Another goal the swim- mers attained was to cap- ture their third straight WRC title. The Wildcatfish won seven out of eleven events and placed Jenifer Brown- field, Eddie Connell, Erica Felix, Nikki Overpeck, Steph- anie McCord, Carla Spauld- ing, Dana Chaney, and Leigh City on the All-Conference team. The most desired achieve- ment the swimmers ob- tained was their first ever sectional victory. Although there were no individual win- ners for the Wildcatfish, team depth provided for the win over nine other area teams. 1987 Sectional Coach of the year, Duane Swisher, felt the season was, “the best in the six years I have been here, primarily because of the swimmers’ positive atti- tude throughout the sea- son.” Special award winners were: Amy Woody, Most Im- proved; Stephanie McCord, Most Points; Leigh City, Mental Attitude.

They defeated such teams as Southmont, Benton Central, and Green- castle, who made it to the final game of the semi-state. The 'Cats had trouble clinch- ing wins on the road, where their record was 2-9. How- ever, they played their best basketball while in their own “den”, sporting a 7-2 home record. The two home losses were to Rockville and Terre Haute North, both of whom were in the Top 20. Special awards were pre- sented to Marc Ugo for the top hustler award; Don Hines, leading rebounder, free throw % under 50 at- tempts (78.6); Shawn Wil- son, most steals (44), most assists (73), free throw % over 50 attempts (73.2); and Kirk Rohr, highest ranked player award, MVP.

The Lady Cats ended their season with a record of 16-5 on a heartbreaking loss to North Vermillion in the final game of sectionals. It was the first sectional loss in five years. Coach Terry felt that this would make next years team hungry for the title back. For a statistical accom- plishment the Lady Cats de- feated all three Terre Haute teams for the second year in a row. Coach Terry commented, We were an unselfish team that played hard all season long. We also kept our tradi- tion of playing a dominating and aggressive style of de- fense.

GIRLS BASKETBALL 55 Preparing to win Fundamentals stressed as teams look toward future varsity competition. t U LORI WAUGH Fundamentals were drilled into the minds and bodies of both the boys’ and girls’ junior varsity basketball teams as they strived to achieve their goals while preparing themselves for fu- ture varsity competition. The positive attitude main- tained by both teams helped each to attain their season's objectives. The Lady Wildcat JV en- joyed a successful season and reached their goal of having a winning record. The 13-3 Lady 'Cats finished with an eight-game winning streak after Christmas break. Coach Showalter cited a 110% effort, team- work, and desire as the con- tributing factors to the team’s success. Though the boys’ JV bas- ketball team did not have a winning season, they did at- tain one of their goals; they developed individual and team basketball skills by im- proving in the forms of de- fense, intensity, and funda- mentals. Though the boys suffered through a difficult season, finishing 6-14, Coach Dunham stated char- acter, self-discipline, and sportsmanship as admirable qualities his team pos- sessed. Though some games of the boys' and girls’ season did not result in a mark in the “win” column, the teams’ other successes pro- vided a sense of accomplish- ment.

BY BILLIE GRAHAM Everyone enjoyed go- ing to see varsity ath- letics, but seemed to overlook the fact that the team had originated from a freshman squad. As freshman, they worked hard on perfecting the basics, and prepared themselves to be able to play on the JV and varsity teams. The freshman football and the girls’ and boys’ basketball teams had very strong seasons, and have set the foundation for higher levels for competi- tion. Mr. Watson felt that the strength of this freshman football team was that it was fueled by good athletes, and if they hit the weights and practiced hard, they would only become better. Records are not always in- dicative of how the season was. The 2-3 Wildcats showed their determination in the Northview game, with two minutes to go, they were down 14-0. The team drove 50 yards, and scored on the last play of the game. It didn't affect the outcome of the game, but it did show what they would do. The boys’ freshman bas- ketball team had an even season ending with a 9-9 record. These boys worked hard and improved on the fundamentals of the game. A highlight of their season was their victory against North Vermillion in a tough triple overtime game. 1988 was the first year that there was a freshman girls' schedule. This proved to be successful as the girls ended the season with a 5-3 record. This squad had a very strong defense, and a balanced scoring attack, which led to their winning season. 58 FRESHMEN THE Wildcats display their hustling defense with a 2-2-1 press.

The contest was close throughout, and the outcome was not decid- ed until the final match with the Wildcats winning 37 to 35. The wrestlers had a string of fourth place finishes in tournament and invitational competitions. They were fourth in the South Vermil- lion Invy with Andy Rayl en- joying first place honors. An- other fourth place was achieved in the WRC tourna- ment. Brent Thompson, Dave Kanizer, and Andy Rayl captured first places and po- sitions on the All-Conference Team. The same sophomores led the team to a fourth place finish in sectionals with indi- vidual victories in their weight classes. They ad- vanced to regional competi- tion along with Dieter Kauf- man and Paul Persinger.

Coach Scott Ogle said seniors Scott Wil- liams, Mark Filchak, and Brent Lindsay were strong individual performers who also took a leadership role and kept the team together. One of the Wildcatfish’s best performances of the year was achieved at the Seeger Invitational. Since there were only three boys’ swim teams in the confer- ence, there was no WRC meet, and the team thought of the invitational as their conference meet. Therefore the swimmers were not only at their physical peak, they were emotionally charged as well and many personal best times were achieved en- route to the first place team finish. The Wildcatfish finished fourth in the sectional com- petition and sent five ath- letes to the state finals. For the second straight year, the SV medley relay was first in sectionals and state com- petitiors. The relay com- posed of Williams, Filchak, Lindsay, and Chris Chaney also held the school record with a time of 1:46:01. An- other record breaker and state qualifier was sopho- more diver Tony McAbee. Early in the year, McAbee set a new record for six dives and later broke his own mark. In sectional competi- tion, McAbee placed second behind the eventual state champion and in the pro- cess, raised his own school record for eleven dives. Coach Ogle said he en- joyed his first year of coach- ing at SVHS because the swimmers were a dedicated group with good unity. Special awards were re- ceived by Chris Chaney — Mental Attitude, Mark Fil- chak — Most Valuable, and Dustin Hunt — Most Im- proved.

The three squads, consisting of 14 girls, worked to learn new cheers, partner stunts, chants, and pyramids. All three squads earned awards for their ac- complishments at camp with the varsity and junior varsity squads bringing home spirit sticks and rib- bons and the freshmen win- ning the Most Improved Squad trophy. Upon returning from cheerleading camp, the squads were kept busy in preparing for the upcoming football season and partici- pating in the Dana Fall Festi- val parade. With the begin- ning of school came later practices and planning for Homecoming activities. As fall faded into winter, a change in the varsity cheer- leading squad occurred. Eight cheerlifters made it possible to build larger pyra- mids and increase the num- ber of sideline stunts at the basketball games. For her second year, Mrs. Ellis sponsored the cheer- leading squads. Conducting many circle talks helped with exchanging ideas and organized plans the girls had. Summing up the season, senior varsity cheerleader Mica Farrington stated, “This year went really well. The squad worked together and was able to accomplish new, more difficult stunts. Considering we had such a young squad, a lot of people were surprised at our achievements.” SOPHOMORE Jennifer Gates helps lead a chant during the Homecoming tootball game.

BY BILLIE GRAHAM The South Vermillion Baseball team end- ed the year with a record of 21-11 and a load full of accomplish- ments. Mike Frazier broke the school record of 11-4 pitching record to better it with a record of 11-2. Steve Reyher broke the record for most triples with four and most doubles with twelve and most hits with forty-sev- en. Jamie Perry tied the record of stolen bases with twenty-seven. The teams' capability to hit, score runs, and run ag- gressively on bases helped the Wildcats to a very suc- cessful season. The Wildcats season was highlighted when they defeated T.H. North and T.H. South in the same day to win the Terre Haute Sectional. The Cats were the Runner-ups in the Terre Haute Regional after defeating North Vermillion 5-0 — before losing to Sha- kamak in the Championship game 5-20. Coach Terry said, This was a young team not ex- pected to do that much. With hard work, fundamen- tals, and teamwork — the team had a good chemistry and had fun. It was a team that enjoyed playing the game of baseball. The Junior Varsity ended its season with a record of 6- 7. J.V. Baseball: front (I to r) manager G. Riley, M. Chaney,). Gwinn, T. Cottrell, D.

WRC Champs The Lady Wildcats capture school’s first softball conference championship bu MARC UGO Our defensive infield, and the pitcher- catcher combina- tion played an im- portant part and contributed to team defense.” This was how Coach Pearl Session described one of her Lady Wildcats' main strengths. The ’Cats sported a 14-8 record. They were 6-1 in the conference, giving them a share of the WRC Champi- onship. The girls displayed a “nev- er say die” attitude, by keeping the games close. Coach Session was quoted as saying, “We were ‘in the game’ during all contests. None of the suffered losses were ‘blowouts.’ ” One of the highest points of the girls’ season was their defeating Terre Haute North in the last regular season game. “We were able to hit the fastest pitcher we had played. The game was a big win for us in priming and get- ing us up for sectional, commented Coach Session. A loss to rival Riverton Parke 4-3 in the sectional ended the 'Cats’ season, but they had accomplished many personal as well as team goals. We experi- enced continued progress and improvement during the season, both offensively and defensively.” The girls pro- duced a winning record, and provided S.V.H.S. with its first Wabash River Confer- ence Championship in soft- ball,” stated Coach Session.

Practice began for the Lady Netters in late February with an in- door conditioning program. Stroke and service form was also stressed during this time inside. With the rising tempera- tures of spring, the team be- gan practicing outside. Ser- vice, volley, and ground stroke stations comprised a majority of practice. Often following high school girls' practice, junior high stu- dents participated in a pro- gram for SVMS. The pro- gram was also strengthened in the fall with clinics being held. Completing the season at 9-6, several successes were enjoyed by the team. Finish- ing second in the Western Boone Tournament, placing two members on the All- Conference team, and rais- ing enough money to pur- chase new warm-ups were all highlights of the season. Coach Waclawek summed up the season in stating, I think all the team members were able to become better tennis players and I became a more complete coach.” Award winners of the 1988 season: Most Dedicat- ed — Chellie Gardner, Most Improved — Becky Hollers, Mental Attitude — Lori Waugh. All-Conference members: Jan Marietta and Chris Montgomery (dou- bles). JUNIOR Chris Montgomery practices a few serves. Chris competed at the first doubles position most of the season and was one of two SV players to earn All-Conference honors. COMPETING at third singles, sophomore Beth Sanquenetti fires a serve to her opponent. The team got plenty of practice serving by holding a serve-a-thon to raise money to purchase new warm-ups.

Crowd support was a key factor in making the home court an advantage. HONORING his parents during football’s Senior Night, Matt Hill presents his mother with a corsage. Many parents provided unfaltering support of both their children and the team. Parents, fans managers, officials Their time, effort, and support help make athletic programs run smoothly. hll t OR I WAUGH They were the people behind the athletic scene: Parents, fans, managers, workers, and officials. These people helped make high school sports exciting, orga- nized, and entertaining. Without them it seemed our athletic system would be in- complete. Parents played a major role in high school athletics. Providing moral support, they had the capability of making an athlete confident in himself and sure of his game. Fans also supported an athlete, but often in a more adrenalin-related way. The sheer impact of scream- ing fans dressed in black and gold seemed to ‘‘super- charge a team. Keeping a team's uni- forms laundered,'water bot- tles filled, and statistics up- to-date is no easy tasks, but the manager was responsi- ble for these duties and oth- ers. This vast number of re- sponsibilities made manag- ing a full time committment. A good manager was a valu- able asset to both the team and coach. Even though they were of- ten criticized, officials were necessary. Out of the many different high school sports, only tennis did not require some sort of referee. Al- though they were not always appreciated, officials worked to insure all games were played fairly. Another important group of people were the workers at various athletic events. Whether they were parents, graduated athletes, or stu- dents, the assistance they provided stand was neces- sary for an event’s success. Although players and coaches were the stars of high school athletics, sport- ing events would not have been the same without par- ents, managers, fans, work- ers, and officials. HELPING out at a home track meet, Sara Heskett informs fellow senior Dan Shew of his standing in the pole vault competition. Students often acted as unofficial managers and volunteered their time and energy to help out when needed. RUTH Clark, substitute teacher by day, volleyball official by night, scrutinizes a junior varsity volleyball match.

Though still small compared to many schools, SV experi- enced many changes. More students meant larger class- es, more crowded locker areas, and longer lunch lines. More students also meant more compe- tition. Each student be- longed to his own class. Whether a freshman, sopho- more, junior, or sen- ior, each class func- tioned as a society within itself. Every- one had responsibil- ities to his own class in paying class dues, voting for student council, and partici- pating in class com- petitions. Yet on the whole, students combhined efforts to become a single unit. Whether individually or as a group, SV was well- represented throughout the year. • Mitzi Lewis together as one.

They always found time to help out and partici- pate in a variety of school projects. The '88 seniors have always taken great pride in their tasks. They also en- joy the product their work produces, like this year’s first place homecoming float.

John Wheat, who planned to go into music, receives one of his many awards for his banjo playing. Many high school students were asked about their plans for the future and often they had no definite ideas, but senior John Wheat was different. Since he was thirteen, he had been interested in playing bluegrass on the banjo. This interest had been a major influ- ence on his goal of be- coming involved in pro- fessional music and studio work in Los An- geles and Nashville. Since Wheat became involved with banjo playing five years ago, he spent many hours practicing to perfect his playing. This dedi- cation also helped Wheat in learning how to play the acoustic guitar, and violin. John stated the big- gest influences during his music career had been, “Chet Atkins, Ed- die Van Halen, and Ste- vie Vie.” Both Wheat’s hard work and musical influ- ences enabled him to win first place in state competition. John said, “The feeling didn't hit home for a long time, but when it did it was an amazing feeling to be number one in the state.” John graduated mid- term to devote more time to practice. He worked diligently to- ward his goal of playing banjo at Walt Disney World in Japan. After returning from Japan, Wheat wanted to continue playing and to make a mark on the music industry.

Another magazine sale. It took hard work, a lot of effort, and threaten- ing announcements from sponsor Mrs. Judy Perrin, but the juniors pulled together to raise enough money for the prom. From the beginning of school until May 14, 1988, the prom was the single most impor- tant part of being a jun- ior. Thoughts about committees, themes, who to ask, or what to wear were everpresent throughout the maga- zine sales, float build- ings, and everyday ex- istence. The juniors elected class officers and stu- dent council members at the end of their sophomore year. Presi- dent, Eric Pearman stated, “We started out slow, but I’m proud of the effort. I’m glad to see us work together, that’s something for this class to be proud of.” Brenda Frazier 96 JUNIORS JUNIORS 97 Caring — a teacher that truly cares about the students is willing to reach out and help someone no matter who it is or what the problem is.

Our school has a lot of features to be proud of and hopefully we as sophomores can be a large part in boost- ing the school spirit in South Vermillion”, said Dale Wright, sophomore class treasurer. Dale had a lot of faith in her class and planned to stand by them all the way to the top. The sophomore class float, “Wipe Out the Tro- jans”, placed second in the float competition and they tied with the seniors for spir- it week. Their class float took a major jump from last place their freshman year, to second place in 1987. “We worked very well to- gether, especially this year on our float. We worked until we got finished and had a lot of spirit and fun while doing it, stated Nicole. Nicole expressed the high- lights of being class presi- dent, “I have to show the sophomore class that we can do anything we want to if we only put our heads to- gether and work as a team. My highlight is our class real- ly sticks together and I am fortunate to have a class that backs me up in whatev- er we do. It’s not where you are that's important, it’s the direction in which you are led that is. Nicole has a lot of faith in the sophomore class. Billie Cormican said, “She does good things for our class. She makes it fun and interesting.” The sophomore class is led by president Nicole Hol- lingsworth, vice-president Jennifer Gates, secretary Cara DalSasso, and treasur- er Dale Wright.

Fear and anticipa- tion were among their many thoughts as they wandered the halls. The class of '91 slowly be- came acquainted to their new surroundings, and the severity of their nervous- ness began to ease off. It took some time to ad- just to the criticism of being a “greenie”. Kim Young said, It bothers me but I can’t wait until I’m not one so I’ll be able to call other people greenies.” A main concern of the freshman class was to raise money to fund their home- coming float. As class presi- dent, Chris Gerth had to mo- tivate the freshmen to raise money. We mainly collect- ed money from the class and their parents and re- cently held a raffle to get a head start on next year.” The freshman class was led throughout the year by class officers Starla West, Steve Panagouleas, Chris Gerth, and Tracee Pence.

Coletta Riva and Joy Roberts practice their cooking skills. ACADEMICS Education Books, lectures, and tests were sometimes not the most important things in students' lives. Like it or not, however, those things played impor- tant roles in daily lives. Aside trom vaca- tions, each weekday required all students to spend eight hours in school. Each stu- dent's day was filled with a variety of ac- tivities. All students spent part of the day in required courses, while electives filled the remaining hours. For many students, time after school was no different: homework had a place in evening rou- tines. Although every- one was exposed to education, learning was the responsibil- ity of the individual. School only provided an opportunity to learn. • Mitzi Lewis . . . playing an important role. HORTICULTURE students not only learned the proper way to plant trees, but also got practical experience when they prepared the landscaping around the superintendents' office.

The final product was a deckle-edged embossing. Competition shown through the arts Competition is not limited to athletics alone, it also entered into the academic arena. Art students pre- pared for contests and ex- hibits from the beginning of January thru the end of school. Originality, visual effect, technique, and the crafts- manship were the main components a juror looked for when judging a work of art. Approximately 5 students competed or exhibited in five shows throughout the spring. The Scholastic held the most prestigee. Howev- er, each show represented a high degree of ability impor- tant for each student in- volved. DAN Rippy and Nicole Harris perform a duet on their tenor saxophones. Band provided a cre- ative outlet for the musically inclined. t Oometimes I can see Othings about myself through my art work that I didn’t even know.

Band and choir taught students how to work with an instru- ment or their voice. The vi- sual art students learned to work with their hands and emotions. Drama empha- sized self-expression and creativity through the spo- ken word. Everyone is given tal- ents, and the musical class- es allow people to develop their musical talents. There are no limits to how far a person can go if they only try,” stated Band Director Mrs. Gibbs. Art shows you the possi- bilities of life. Art causes you to feel and see in ways you maybe would not in normal life; it reflects and highlights life,” stated Drama teacher Mrs. Judy Perrin. All of the arts could have been grouped together us- ing expression in several dif- ferent ways. Communica- tion varied throughout the classes.

Both speed and accuracy were determining factors for grades in typing. t l Turn in your condition- I ing points today, class.” Suddenly the thun- dering of keys striking the paper came to a halt; it’s an- other typical day in typing class. The business department offered a diverse variety of classes in which students could better their skills. These classes included Ac- counting, Business English, Enter — finance — Balance — delete Business courses look to the future Business Law, Business Math, Computer Applica- tions, Computer Program- ming, Introduction to Busi- ness, Office Machines, Shorthand, Typing, and Word Processing. For the most part, Busi- ness classes worked to pre- pare students for the future. Skills for personal use in the transactions of everyday life as well as entry-level job skills were gained through the completion of these courses. Junior, Chris Merrifield was enrolled in Accounting II, Business English, and Computer Programming and he said, Business classes are useful and needed no matter what you do; even doctors need to know how to manage money. These classes teach office skills and how to conduct yourself in an office.” First year typing student, Tina Kelsheimer, junior, said, Typing class taught me to be more serious, to listen better, and to strive for perfection.” Chellie Gardner WORD Processing student Robin Evol checks her work. Students gained a basic knowledge about the Apple Computer in this class. 120 BUSINESS SHORTHAND students Tracey Roberts and Starts Sweitzer record Mrs. Parco's dictation. Student's speed increased throughout the course. Don’t kid yourself — face the facts The business department brought in a guest speak- er named Paul Lombardo. He had been a police officer 34 years and baliff on the In- diana Supreme Court ten years. His topic was drugs and al- cohol and how people who use them wind up in prisons. He described what some people had done to be sent to prison and what it is like while they’re in there. He stated, “If you think prison is a joke, you’re kidding your- self.” Mr. Lombardo also stressed the importance of education. He said that of the 11,500 people in Indiana prisons, less than half fin- ished school. “Young people are the future America of to- morrow ... The number one priority is education ... Be proud of who you are.” LEARNING the language of shorthand Is junior Chris Montgomery. Students learned to Improve their time and skill through practice. 8USINESS 121 SENIOR Crystal Callese uses the power of vege- tation to help her absorb her materials. Fresh- man Erica Boesch looks on with amusement. Students around the world are faced with the problem of tests. How to most effectively pre- pare for tests remained the question. At SV, stu- dents had different ideas about the right way to study. Some students preferred a quiet, tranquil atmosphere, but other students studied with mu- sic of various rhythms. “I find the quietest place in the house and study until I practically see double,” Students learn study methods Effective studying makes the grade said Angie Everhart. “I need to be in a room by myself with some good music flowing through my headphones, comment- ed Scott Royer. I pop in a tape of Def Leppard, crank up the stereo and listen to some tunes. The music relaxes me enough so that I can handle Phys- ics and Calculus,” added John Riley. Testing was a major part of high school academics and once stu- dents found the most suc- cessful method for them, all that was left was to do it. Often, that was the main problem, as was demonstrated by Erica Felix, ‘‘Usually I have good intentions and plan to study ahead, but most of the time I end up cram- ming the night before.” Whatever the method, students were faced with the problem of tests. KICKING back, Shawn Wilson concentrates on his novel. Some students found that relaxing in a quiet place brought about the best results. 122 STUDY METHODS JUNIOR Doug Andrews works on his Chemistry. The library provided a quiet place for students to concentrate on their test preparations. trying to cram it all in at once, is the most effective way,” stated Mr. Swisher. Director of Guidance, Mrs. Pilipovich commented, ‘‘I think the best way is to take good thorough notes, and to be attentive to important concepts in teachers’ pre- sentations. And the teachers say ... Everyone had their own view on studying and what the most effective technique was. Teaches had ideas on study methods as well as students. “Repetition, studying over and over through a longer period of time rather than MAKING il a group effort, these students strive for the almighty A. Julie Duncan, Holly Miller, and Dreama McClara conspire to beat the books. STUDY METHODS 123 Leaving home Cutting the ties with home was not the most important factor in selecting which school to attend, but it did enter into some stu- dents choice. ‘‘My parents kinda encouraged me, and I really wanted to go away to school. I thought attending school somewhere else would give me a better op- portunity to succeed in a more populated area, said Senior Mary Beardsly. Most Seniors by the time graduation rolled around, were ready to be on their own. “Choosing Ball State was mainly for the architec- ture, but I liked going away from home,” said Senior Su- san Rumple. Eddie Connell MOST colleges in Indiana required two years of foreign languages. Sophomore Amy Costello feeds Alan Grange at the French Wedding. This is an annual event that second-year students perform. CHEMISTRY was not only an important class to students interested in science, it also helped all students learn the importance of following directions and making observations. Juniors Ron Delph and Jenny Scheller, work together to complete an experiment. 124 COLLEGE PREP CALCULUS was the highest level of math courses available. Seniors Susan Rumple and toe Gilbert work on their homework assign- ments in class. PHYSIOLOGY class presented students the op- portunity to research several diseases in depth. Senior Mary Beardsly explains the importance of good nutrition and protection from the sun for the prevention of cancer. For some, high school was just a stepping stone for their education. Many stu- dents planned on going on to some higher education, ranging anywhere from technology schools to four- year colleges. “I took all of the math and science courses I could to go into computer science. I Preparing for higher levels of learning Courses to help the college-bound really think you have got to have as many classes as possible,” stated Senior Rob Foos. Planning for the future was on the minds of many juniors and seniors. Even though a lot of people planned for a higher educa- tion, approximately thirty- eight percent of students from South Vermillion will go on. “I set up a shadowing ex- perience at ISU, where I sat in on some elementary Edu- cation classes,” said Senior Christy Carey. Deciding what courses to take for any undecided ca- reer sometimes proved an agonizing experience. Senior Chip Redman stated, I don't have my career choice set, I just took classes that gave me a little taste of ev- erything. I think it’s better not to decide your career at an early age, because I don’t want to be locked into some- thing I don’t enjoy.” College prep classes of- fered more academic chal- lenges, and provided a basis for most students to be suc- cessful in higher education.

Elective classes supplement the foundation that the re- quired classes set down. The most positive aspect of elec- tives was that they were the choice of the student. De- pending on particular inter- ests, students were always able to find a class to take. Whether in English, Science, Home-Economics, or Indus- trial Arts, there was some- thing for everyone.

Some of the electives of- fered were designed to help students prepare for higher levels of learning. Courses such as grammer vocabu- lary were useful in preparing for the SAT. Creative Writing also helped students devel- op not only their writing skills but also their imagina- tion. Other elective classes were helpful in learning skills necessary for everyday ac- tivities. Child development, foods, and interpersonal re- lations were just a few of the courses offered to prepare students for living on their own. These classes and many others were offered as elec- tives. They allowed students to develop their own inter- ests. Whatever the activity there seemed to be a class to compliment it. SENIOR Brian Luce gets close to the earth in Horticulture. Students gained much hands-on experience by various projects including land- scaping the superintendent’s office. ELECTIVES 127 It was the most boring class I have ever taken in my life,” stated Senior Yo- landa Kelley regarding her required semester of gov- ernment. However, there were others who felt differ- ently. Senior Michelle Lewis said that she really enjoyed it because “it was taught in a way you wanted to learn.” Each year students had to Meeting the requirements MANY math classes put problems on the board for the class to look at their work. Writing his problem on the board Sophomore Chad Rosko- vensky checks over his work to make sure he is correct. New standards set for graduation sign up for required classes, which ranged from physical education to government. These classes had to be tak- en to meet state require- ments for graduation. Indiana required that stu- dents have more credits to graduate after 1988. The number of credits was in- creased by eight, two more credits each in English, math, science, and social studies. I think it’s good to have required classes, to have a standard curriculum that the state school system follows. It keeps a higher lev- el of education in the state, said Senior Stephen Turner. Director of Guidance, Mrs. Mary Pilipovich stated, “The country is realizing the im- portance of education. By making states ask for more credits, they’re doing some thing about it.” Required classes may not have been a favorite choice, but they were the founda- tion of a well-rounded edu- cation.

Electives vs. required Teaching both elective and required classes in- volved different attitudes. Mrs. Judy Perrin taught the basic English classes as well as speech and drama. She felt there was a difference between the two types of classes. “There are gen- erally more older kids in English electives, basical- ly because they have more skills and are more responsible. In electives the kids have a better atti- tude, because they choose to be there, and to take the class.” Eddie Connell EVEN seniors had to take some required class- es.

Students often found unusual positions comfortable for studying. Beating the books day and night guilt. Your smile fades. Homework calls, and you must answer. Some students claimed that homework was a thing of the past — mostly sen- iors during the second se- mester. Many students, however, accepted home- work as a part of life and simply worked it into their schedule. For some, homework was a long process that was not only time-consuming but frustrating. Memorizing vo- cabulary words was not the most fulfilling thing in life but the sense of accomplish- ment sometimes was enough. Some students, however, could finish homework in the wink of an eye. Biology facts were not a problem and therefore homework did not take such a great deal of time. Homework amounts var- ied from day to day and stu- dents looked forward to the lightest loads. No matter how much time homework took or how difficult it was — it was a reality that all students had to face. 130 HOMEWORK STUDY halls were offered to all students a time to do homework during school. Troy Chapman and Damon Prouse make full use of the oppor- tunity. GETTING the information from her text is April Simpson. Many teachers assigned daily home- work assignments. Sliding homework By second semester, sen- iors experienced the phenomena of senior-itis.” This was a condition that caused homework and grades to slide while a great excitement set in. Graduation was but a heartbeat away and there was still fun to be had. Plans about prom, graduation, va- cation, and college crazed seniors beyond recognition. A feeling of urgency came over these seniors, but at the same time some respon- sibilities, such as homework, were but an unpleasant memory. Seniors found that with an effort, senior-itis could mo- mentarily be sidetracked, but somehow it always found its way back. This in- evitable occurrence was a large factor in lack of moti- vation for seniors to com- plete homework. C. Gardner ANYPLACE can become suitable for studying if it is absolutely necessary.

In drafting students learned how to draw up mechanical drawings and also how to read them. “I knew when I went into drafting that I was going to make a career from it. I really enjoy the class, and I am learning a lot from it, said Junior Fred Baru- shak. Another class that gained popularity with the students was graphic arts. Students are learning valuable skills that they can take onto the job,” stated graphic arts in- structor Gary Engerski. Power Mechanics was an- other technology course that was offered. In power mechanics, students learned how to work on cars, and figure out what the problem was when they didn't work. The technology classes are an area that the stu- dents don't know very much about. I think students should take advantage and get involved with what is of- fered in this program,” said Gary Engerski. These courses will help students in a career beyond high school, the experience and knowledge will contribute to the preparation.

Don Craft is cooling off a piece of metal after working with it. THE graphic arts classes printed up various things for the school. Seniors Dan Shew and Shawn Merrilield print basketball programs. Making a career of Graphic Arts There were quite a few students who were in ad- vanced graphic arts. The cri- teria for the class was to take one year at the begin- ning level. The department grew greatly in the previous two years with the purchase of more modern equipment. The program offered two be- ginning classes, and one two-hour advanced class. Shawn Merrifield was one senior who chose to special- ize in graphic arts, and planned to pursue a career in the printing field. I wanted to learn more about the Industrial Arts De- partment, and I knew the least, at the time, about printing. I also had visited a printing factory in New York City, and I felt from that trip that I would like to learn more about graphic arts.” stated Senior Shawn Merri- field. From syringes and stetho- scopes to typewriters and copiers to cutting torch- es and grinders, students at SV had many hands-on ex- periences through several vocational classes.

Through the SASS pro- gram students spent three hours of their day doing sec- retarial duties. Building Trades, Vocation- al Agriculture, and Vocation- al Welding prepared stu- dents for entrance into the job world with confidence in the skills they have learned. CO-OP students gained actual work experience by going out into the communi- ty and performing various tasks related to their partic- ular job. Health Occupations stu- dents were exposed to many jobs in the health field. First semester was an overview, discussing the different oc- cupations and what they in- volved. Second semester the students shadowed” a person in the field that most appealed to them. The SASS program has done a great job in preparing me for college and any office work, not only secretarial.” Beth Cappa It has helped me learn about the world of work and it has taught me the value of good work.” John Meneghini Chellie Gardner 134 VOCATIONAL PROOFREADING her paper, S.A.S.S. worker Va- lori Sanquenetti checks her typing accuracy. Since all work had to be comparable to work of office secretaries, this was a vital step before turning in a paper. A simulated office setting According to Ms. DeBoer, the S.A.S.S. program was entirely vocational in na- ture and built on skills previ- ously acquired by intense applications, plus the intro- duction of new skills. The program looked to im- prove basic skills and to pre- pare students for entry-level secretarial and clerical posi- tions. It was run as close to an office as the environment permitted. Even if a student didn’t plan to enter the secretarial field, S.A.S.S. offered many skills and opportunities that were beneficial no matter what their career objective was.

Wanting to become more in- volved in school ac- tivities led many students to become part of a club. When it came to joining an organiza- tion, students had a wide range of choices. Of course each organization had certain require- ments for students to become mem- bers. For those who were academically inclined, clubs such as National Honor Society and Aca- demic Excellence were possibilities. WCAT and the school newspaper gave members a chance to inform fel- low students of daily events. Students with performing talents joined organizations such as band and drama. Other clubs such as the peer leader- ship program let stu- dents assist class- mates in problem areas. No matter what a student's interests, SV had organizations to accomodate near- ly everyone. • Mitzi Lewis students together TO better inform students of election procedures, student council brought in an actual voting machine.

THE IMPORTANCE OF STUDENT COUNCIL SV’s student Have you noticed the LED sign in front of the of- fice and in the cafeteria? Or what about all the con- vocations held this year? Who is responsible for this? Student Council has had a very active year. They orga- nized a blood donation in benefit of the school and commu- nities. They also organized 1 convocation and the student body was presented with ‘EVERYDAY HEROES.’ Tonya McCullough, President of Student Council stated, Student Council is important because it helps to further the interests and goals of students at SV and to gain a better relationship between the faculty and students and to act as representatives of the opinion of the student body.” The SV Student Council sponsors were Mrs. Turchi and Mr. Blake. The council consisted of 20 girls and 5 boys. These members represented each grade level at SV. SV student Dina LeMasters felt, “the Student Council is needed because they are very active in planning many stu- dent activities. The way they worked together to accomplish a goal and represent their individual Student Council class was amazing, a important to me because it's an honor and a organizers privilege to repre- sent the student body. — Amy Costello Lisa Harris and Susan Rumple listen intentfully during one of the Student Council meetings. 138 STUDENT COUNCIL Moulton, Jenifer Brownfield, Eddie Connell, Car- la Spaulding, Julie Delph, Dona Kuykendall, Brad Mooney, and Mrs. Turchi.

YEARBOOKIES WORK OVERTIME FOR SV STUDENTS A few moments of brain strain Each day, room C-9 was transformed into a miniature production plant. Through the ef- forts of the Old Gold and Black staff and adviser Mrs. Cindy Chrsastowski, the yearbook slowly came togeth- Hard work and dedication were just two characteris- tics necessary for successfully producing a yearbook. Editor Michelle Lewis stated, “Being the editor has been very challenging. It has also been very rewarding. Because of my experiences, I think I have become more open-minded and understanding.’’ Lori Waugh felt that in order to be an effective staff member, “You have to have an imagination, a good to fair picture-taking ability, a few moments of brain strain when thinking up captions and headlines, and a envolvement in our school.” A great deal of frustration also went into “yearbook- ing.” In the end, however, the results were worth it. Dona Kuykendall felt that, “After you have finished a feature or met a deadline, it gives you a sense of satisfaction and re- lief.” Of course the final payoff was seeing the finished product: a book which came into being through the work of seventeen stu- dents and an adviser. ”Yearbook is a very de- manding class, but I have a super time with it.

NHS, Quill Scroll, Academic, Journalism and Drama. These three words can very effectively describe the groups of NHS, Quill Scroll and Thespians. NHS was a very prestigious award that was based on scholarship, service, character and leadership and the stu- dent must maintain at least a 3.0 G.P.A. Mr. House, sponsor of NHS, inducted many new members on April 27, 1988. Senior members Mica Farrington, Shawn Merrifield, Erica Felix and Nancy Albin each gave a speech on one of the following criteria: Character, scholarship, Service and lead- ership. Paula Riggen felt that “Being in NHS is like being rewarded for all the work I’ve done.” Quill Scroll members were those who were active either on the Newspaper or Yearbook staff. This ‘journalism’ soci- ety was sponsored by Mrs. Hawkins and Mrs. Chrzastowski. The induction was held on April 23 at the Beef House. Thespian members are those who have actively partici- pated in plays or musicals throughout the school yar. Thespian society was sponsored by Mr. Roberts and Mrs. Perin. The induc- tion was held on April 25 at Chi Chi’s.

Rob Clark- son, Bob Miller, Mike Wilkey, Brett Bennett, and Brent Frazier are part of the tenor section. CONCERTS, CONTESTS, PERFORMANCES Many rewarding phases “What are the words to the song? Where is the sheet music for my solo? Who is going to play the music while I sing?” Those questions and many more could be asked by any choir member before a performance, concert or contest. The S.V.H.S. choir had grown bigger over the years. With 33 girls and 20 boys, the 53 member choir, directed by Mr. Mark Roberts, had a successful year performing at various concerts and contests. Among those were the Tri Kappa Festival, the Christmas and Spring concerts, the Indiana State Music Asso- ciation organizational contest, the Turkey Run Choral Festival, and Graduation. This year the spring musical, ‘When the Chips are Down', was performed by choir members only. Even though not ev- eryone had a lead role, each member was enthusiastic about thoe who did. The choir made trips to colleges where they spoke with professors of music and broadened their musical knowledge. Dana Crafton described a trip taken to Ball State, There were kids from schools across the state there. We went to seminars and even talked to professors on a one to one basis. I had a great time and I think it’s safe to say that the rest of the choir did too! — Brenda Frazier of Choir My favorite performance is the one that we put on at the Turkey Run Choral Festival. — Angie Yelich LISTENING ability was just as important as singing ability when being a member of the S.V.H.S.

THOUGHTS AND IDEAS WORKING TOGETHER Coquettes — expressions Practices, routines, dance jp Qp4-inn evaluations, fund raisers, III dUllUM and performances were all parts of being a Coquette on the South Vermillion Drill Team. Spring was an exciting time for girls preparing for Co- quette tryouts. Tryouts consisted of performing a flag rou- tine, showing their marching and dancing abilities, partici- pating in an interview, undergoing teacher evaluations, and meeting a weight requirement. The girls were judged by seven people, including ISU dance instructors and the ISU band director. Newly chosen Coquettes sold candy, sausage and cheese to raise money for their trip to Washington D.C. Another fund raiser was a Coquette Clinic for area students in grades one through nine. Those in attendance were taught a dance that they performed at a basketball game. Sponsor Marilyn Fisher and dance instructor Vicki West were busy all year helping the girls with decisions about routines and uniforms. THE best part of Co- quettes for me was when the crowd liked our perfor- mances. — Bobbie Lindsay When asked what she liked best about her job as the drill team sponsor, Miss Fisher replied, ‘‘I like to keep the girls together and to help them do their very best. It’s an experi- ence that I will always re- member.” — Brenda Frazier FLAGS added excitement to routines performed by the Coquettes. Vangie Wright keeps her eyes on the gold and black flag as she concentrates on the steps. COQUETTES 147 FOOTBALL games were the perfect place to show oft talent. Becky Hollers, Amy Rumple and Susie Marshall prepare for their halftime perfor- mance. SV band was commonly seen at many of the home basketball and football games.

The answer was LAT IXL-OOIUI � yes! A need to belong was a feeling every SV student had. Band was one way to obtain that feeling. “The part you play is important because if it's not there, the band isn’t whole,” stated Cary Wilson. 1987-88 was another successful year for the band. Not only did they play at many athletic events, they also achieved a number of honors, awards, and trophies. A small Liberty Bell was presented to them for their participation in the 'Freedom Festival Parade’ in Philadelphia, PA. For the ‘National Independence Day Parade’ in Washington D.C., they were recognized with a plaque. These two parades were most memorable to those involved with the band be- cause, “the cheering crowds and all the publicity really gave our band a sense of pride, as Drum Major Brent Frazier stated. The Marching Wildcats also took home the Newport Hill Climb trophy. The parade was judged on how well the music and marching was performed. They competed against North Vermillion and Seeger. These awards and honors didn’t come easy. There were many hours spent outside of school. Whether it was learning new music, re- hearsing for a perfor- mance, practicing march- ing or raising money for clean uniforms and new music, the band always found a way to present themselves and SV in a positive way. — Yolanda Kelley Band gives me school spirit in a way I can express myself. — Jean Ann Beai PEPSI Hoosier Hysteria was a special event for SV students.

On December 16th, S.A.D.D. Day” was observed. Students were pinned with a black ribbon throughout the day to symbol- ize their death. Those students could not speak or be spoken to. The serious occurrences, which are caused by drunk driv- ers become a reality” on that day. While S.A.D.D. saved lives through their program, S.T.O.P. helped solve problems in students’ lives. The Soundingboards and Tutors for Our Peers, sponsored by Mrs. Pilipovich, provided many helpful services for the student body. S.T.O.P. members not only helped students who were having trouble in a cer- tain classes, but they also lent an ear for students who just needed to talk. The services these groups provided were very helpful to the student body, teach- ers, and the community as well. Brenda Frazier I feel like I have helped to save lives by being in S.A.D.D. Erica Felix BEING a S.T.O.P. member required knowledge in many different areas. Becky Berisford was helped with her studies by AJ. Reiber. S.A.D.D.

Erica Felix, Lisa Ball and Mica Far- rington prepare the front page of one of the many issues of the ‘Wildcat.’ A MEDI UM THRO UGH WHICH ST UDENTS ARE INFORMED ‘Wildcat’ benefits “Has anyone seen Mrs. Q of I irlonfo Hawkins?” I need your OlUUv! l I LO feature by tomorrow.” When is your deadline?” “Who is selling the paper today?” If one walked into the J-room during passing periods, these phrases would most likely be heard, along with the everlasting chaos. The newspaper staff met one hour, everyday, during sec- ond period. Within this hour assignments were given, ideas came together, research was done, and features and edito- rials were written. Each of these steps were necessary for a successful newspaper. The ‘Wildcat’ provided information to the student body that they normally wouldn’t receive. It recognized students who had accomplished specific goals and provided a variety of traditional holiday features. Wishes to the ‘Great Pump- kin’, Christmas Wish List, and Valentine notes guaranteed paper sales. Nancy Albin felt that, “The ‘Wildcat’ is not only a medium through which students are informed, but also a medium for stu- dent expression.” — Yolanda Kelley The newspa- per staff gives me a chance to be involved with school. Jenny Scheller the NEWSPAPER 155 TEAM work was very common on newspaper staff. Brooke Hawkins decides the position of an ad as Scott Craig prepares to glue it down. SV students were often caught reading the newspaper during lunch, classes and between passing periods. After many hours of work on the newspaper, Lori Crossley is caught looking over her work. NOT only did part time jobs provide extra spending money, they provided career posibilities as well. Cara DalSasso, sophomore, gets practical experience weighting a cat at Dr. Somerville’s veterinary office. WHETHER shopping or working, SV students were frequently found at Wal- Mart. Sophomore Buffy Uselman purchases a magazine from Robin Evol, senior. 156 ADS DIVISION ADVERTISEMENTS Local merchants make x P. Money ... the key element in pro- ducing a yearbook. But where did the money come from? Local businesses leant support to SV in many ways. One of the most impor- tant methods of con- tribution was the purchase of an ad- vertisement in the yearebook. Obviously, placing an ad in a high school yearbook was not the most effec- tive way of drawing customers to a busi- ness. For this rea- son, purchasing a yearbook ad was re- garded by many merchants as a do- nation. Much of the year- book’s production costs were financed through these sales. Although businesses did not receive much monetary profit from purchas- ing an ad, their con- tributions made the yearbook possible. • Mitzi Lewis yearbook possible — SENIORS, INSURANCE, LAW Insurance |!jjjjl|§S « ill Real Estate UiJ REALTOR ' DOMENICK PONCHO AVENATTI 259 Blackman {SUSfiSZZ) Clinton, IM 832-2239 ADAMS IMPLEMENT CO., INC.

When one went shop- ping or to a ball game, where did they go to take care of that growl in their stomach? Among the many restaurants, Pizza Hut seemed to be the place to eat.

Well, they probably didn't take that envied vacation, but were laying on tanning beds instead. Guys and girls alike paid to achieve the bronze look. Sessions ran from twenty-five dollars for twelve to forty dollars for a month of unlimited use. The first two or three visits were only fifteen to twenty minutes, then increased to half an hour. Upon achieving the desired look one returned on the average twice weekly. Most students tanned in suits or trunks, wearing also the goggles re- quired for eye protection. Face cremes and sprays were used to re- condition dry skin. A few acquired rashes and sunburns. Why did many SV students pay WITH Prom approaching, many SV students took time to get a tan on local tanning beds. Dona Kuykendall, junior, puts in her half hour. money to have a nice tan? The most common reasons were for dances, to prevent burning when taking a va- cation over Christmas or Spring Break, no time to lay in the sun, and just to put on color through the win- ter months. It was no longer neces- sary to travel south for a nice tan. In Clinton alone there were many businesses offering tanning ses- sions, none of which had insurance on their tanning beds as far as cus- tomers were concerned. Liability was the responsibility of the manu- facturer, not the owner. What tanned you were UV rays, which were safer than the sun’s rays when it came to cancer. ‘‘Like saccharine, tanning bed UV rays are safe in mod- erate amounts,” one company own- er said. When asked why they tanned, freshman Erin Andrews said I tan to make myself look better. I hate be- ing white! I’d rather lay in the sun because it’s more natural, but with school and winter it’s almost impos- sible to get a tan without laying on a tanning bed.” Heidi Bruce ..MMW, ADVERTISING 163 JOSTENS America's Most Popular Class Ring.

It was the second year to be taken by grades first, third, sixth, and eighth. They were required to pass the test, and if they failed they had to attend summer school. If one didn't pass the second time then they'd be held back a year. Grades nine and eleven had to take the ISTEP to monitor student achievement, which might eventually lead to passing a compe- tency test to graduate in the future. The ISTEP consisted of math, En- glish, and aptitude tests. The math section was composed of computa- tion and concepts, as well as appli- cations. The English section was composed of vocabulary, compre- hension language mechanics, and language expression. The aptitude section was composed of se- quences, analogy, memory, and ver- bal reasoning. In the following year science and social studies were to be added, which would add another ninety minutes to the four days of testing time divided up among the freshmen and juniors. Indiana wasn’t the first state to require the ISTEP to be taken. Flori- da was the first, with the ISTEP be- ing developed in California. The test wasn't to say that one school was better than another nor to make any teacher look incompetent of teach- ing. It was to measure each school’s curriculum progress. If enough stu- dents failed than plans were to be made to make changes and better the program over a period of time. The future of the ISTEP was to be decided by the Indiana Department of Education. The test was to lead test proficiency in years to come. Most freshmen and juniors felt the test was fairly easy, although com- ments were somewhat negative. Junior Eric Pearman said, “I think the tests should be conducted dif- ferently. The state has mandated that we make up all missed school days in order to insure the quality of our education, yet they also re- quired every school in Indiana to give a week long test.” Mr. Wright, head of the English De- partment, gave a teacher’s point of view. I think the philosophy behind the ISTEP is sound, but I would like to see some changes made next year in both its content and its ad- ministrations.” Heidi Bruce JUNIORS Jenny Harris, Phil Harrison, and Brooke Hawkins concentrate on taking the ISTEP test.

Student Council helped promote and organize the blood drive, which took place on March 18. The drive was successful in raising approximately 177 units of blood for Red Cross. Students were required to give a brief medical history before participating. After a pint of blood was taken, the participants were given cookies and soft drinks. Each unit of blood that was donated could save the lives of four patients. South Vermillion’s efforts could have possibly helped over 480 patients in Central Indi- ana. A worker takes a sample of John Meneghini’s blood for testing. Before donating blood, donors were required to take blood tests to determine their blood type. Several students were able to use their: study halls for something more important than homework. Travis Richardson donates his blood and his time to help save a life. 172 ADVERTISING PUBLIC SERVICE 224 Elm Clinton, IN 832-3545 “CHUCK” RUSSELL’S TERMITE PEST CONTROL State Licensed Free Estimates 832-8057 R.R. 2 Box 327 B; Clinton, ROSENBLATT’S Family Clothing For Over 50 Years 335 S.

By graduating mid- term, Kim was able to start her married life immediately after first semester of her senior year. Graduation came early for some seniors this year. Twenty-three seniors decid- ed to end their high school career after their seventh semester. Plans were made for mid-term graduation when students scheduled classes for their senior year. Having already met the re- quirements, the mid-term graduates were able to finish their fourth year in January instead of May. These early graduates chose different ways to spend the time out of school. A number of gradu- ates took full-time jobs or got married. Others went on to college or joined the ser- vice. Denise Hollandbeck had this to say about the bene- fits of graduating mid-term: I was given an earlier op- portunity to start furthering my education and to begin working toward my future career goal of being a state police officer. I also got to participate on a college track team.” 1988 mid-term graduates were: Valerie Anderson, Neal Bridgewater, Kim Craig, Car- ol Dowdy, Dwayne Godbey, Denise Hollandbeck, Ronda Hollingsworth, Deana Hol- ston, John Katzmarek, Dan- ielle Kyle, Melissa Lawson, Don McIntyre, Louis Pas- tore, Cindy Pine, Mickey Price, Victor Quantana, Bri- an Scott, Angie Vande- vender, John Walton, John Wheat, Todd Wines, and Hei- di Wittenmeyer.

Jostens American Yearbook Company in Clarksville, Tennessee printed this issue. The company representative was Mr. Dick Maurer and the in-plant consultant was Ms. Shelia Maddox.

As the end of school drew near, students busied themselves with HERE WE COME?! FROM JOY TO SADNESS, THE END OF THE YEAR CREATES MANY EMOTIONS After months of books, tests, and homework, the long-awaited day fi- nally turned up on the calendar — the last day of school. The last weeks of school were filled with activity. Spring sport were in full swing, school organizations held induction ceremonies and ban- quets, and most couldn’t wait for the days of sleeping in and going on vacation. Uncertainty played a significant role as well. From the start of school, no one seemed to know ex- actly when the last day of school would be. Because state laws re- quired 180 student days, any days school doors were closed had to be made up. After missed days were added, the last school day was ten- tatively set for May 27. Two weeks before school was out, a waiver was received for a day missed because of a water problem. Finally, the last day was decided — May 26. For the first time in years, seniors had to be in school the same num- ber of days as underclassmen. Un- CLEAR skies and warm temperatures brought many students outdoors. Some students take advantage of the weather with a picnic lunch. college preparations, job applica- tions, and vacation plans. Students could be found wearing summer gear, importing lunches, and playing practical jokes. At last, exams were taken and lockers were cleaned out. School was out for the summer. From getting a new principal to forming “Saturday School,” stu- dents had been introduced to many new faces and rules. When school started in August, no one could have predicted just how many changes would take place. “Picture This” evolved and grew just as the school year and students did. With the end of school and grad- uation, the yearbook was sent to press. Thus, another year came to a close. • Mitzi Lewis 186 CLOSING MAY became a time of political awareness. As - Americans voted in Presidential primaries and local elections, SV students elected student council members and class officers. Students cast their ballots, while others wait their turn. GRADUATION proved to be a time of happiness and relief for many seniors. Jennifer McDonald, with diploma in hand, smiles as Dr. Spaulding congratulates her. EVEN though seniors had to take second semester exams, many didn't — ———— study as hard as they had in the past. Shawn Wilson relaxes with possible CLOSING 187 study material. TIME FOR MOMENTS before they graduated, many seniors took time to reflect on years passed. Others looked forward to the future. Krista Boardman, Shawna Blackburn, Jody Berry, Brian Berrisford, and Mica Farrington share some thoughts prior to the processional. LOOKING AHEAD SOME STUDENTS PREPARE FOR THE “REAL WORLD,” WHILE OTHERS PLAN FOR THE SUMMER WHEN May rolled around, summer seemed just around the corner. The track team got into the summer mood” by ending their season with a picnic. Courtney Moulton, track member, glances back up the tunnel slide. Many felt school was all downhill from there. 188 CLOSING SHllSOl '
