Just as each of us has unique interests, magazines are designed to cater to different tastes. If we're interested in keeping up with current events in the world, we read Time or Hews week. Those of us interested in entertainment news and gossip enjoy People and CJS. Athletes and sports fans keep up with the important sports events and players with Sports Illustrated. If we re interested in the latest fashion trends. Vogue. Clamour and C.Q. meet our needs. In its own way, the Echowan is a magazine because it serves a particular group of people, the students of Park High. Highlights of the year are gathered together in a collection of several magazines, for we illustrate our own Life, Sports Illustrated. Psychology Today and People. At school, we participated in different activities according to our individual interests. During the summer, we all found our own way of relaxing and spending our time.

Travel enabled us to experience it all. Highlights of summer travel in '82 include trips to such diverse areas as Israel, France and Scandinavia. Dave Linne, English teacher, spent 22 days of his summer in Scandinavia visiting relatives and viewing historical places. Anna Motzko, French teacher, chaperoned a group of students touring the northern coast of France and Paris. Twelve of Park's French students took advantage of the opportunity and joined Motzko in experiencing the French way of life. Vico Khabie, senior, described his six week trip to Israel as a meaningful experience. “I’ve never been in a place where I felt such a historical closeness to the people.

The Minnesota Gophers came on strong in the season opener with a win against Ohio University but became progressively weaker as player after player was sidelined with injuries. Furthermore, many Viking fans were disappointed when pro football went on strike. But, uses other than football were found for the dome. Scandinavia Today, a tribute to the Scandinavian countries, began September 11 with a celebration held in the dome welcoming the first Scandinavian royalty visiting the United States. There were many attractions, including the world's largest choir. A record was set in the 1982 elections by Mark Dayton, who spent 5.4 million dollars on his campaign for U.S. Senator. Dayton was defeated, however, by Republican Dave Durenberger. Elected as governor was Democrat Rudy Perpich. Al Quie, incumbent governor, chose not to run for re-election. And Phyllis McQuaid, former Mayor of St. Louis Park, was elected to the Minnesota Senate. In St. Louis Park, controvery again arose over the seven year old water issue, which began when all St. Louis Park wells were capped due to contamination from the creosote plant, which was found to cause cancer. Because of a water shortage, the city uncapped a small percentage of the wells, believing that a small usage of the water would not be harmful. But the public was not informed of this action and upon discovering, became unruly. Changes were also taking place in the Park school system. Elementary schools were divided up into schools by grades, moving all first, second and third graders into Aquila and Peter Hobart. Fourth, fifth and sixth graders now attend Cedar Manor or Susan Lindgren. As a means of saving the junior high sports, music and counseling programs, along with others, a tax referendum was passed, raising the average home's city tax rate by S100.

At the same time, we were united like the pieces of a puzzle, into one unit called St. Louis Park Senior High School.

From looking at past yearbooks. I’d have to say that they are improving each and every year. The 1982 Echowan was cleverly done, as it was prepared like a fine script of a Broadway play. If I were to look at the book as a movie. I would give it an excellent review and strongly recommend it to others. High school years are just a short part of everyone’s life, but they should be special and remembered throughout their lives. The Echowan has a lot to do with stirring those thoughts in years to come. So much goes on during the school year that no one can expect the Echowan staff to cover it all. but they do come close. I commend the staff on the great job of keeping most of the happenings in the book. John Anderson Senior Dear Editor, I think that the 1982 Echowan could have been a little better, without increasing the price too much. The cover could have proclaimed 1982” in larger numbers and illustrated with more Park colors. As for the inside. I think the number of name mistakes was outrageous. For instance. Matt Goldberg had two listings for his class picture: Sue Goldberg and M. Goldstein. Even though there were errors, last year’s Echowan did have some good stories and photographs. Jim Yarosh Sophomore Dear Editor. As a fellow editor of a school pub- lication. I’d like to wish you well on this year’s Echowan. I'll try to keep my photographers out of the way. I’m sure this year's edition will have even more creativity and hold more interest than past years! The yearbook is one of the best parts of high school. (The best, of course, is the newspaper.) I'd like to thank you for allowing me to place my name in this edition. Ian Nemerov Senior. Echo Editor Dear Editor. What a difference each year makes! Comparing the old Echowans of the 60's and 70’s with the 1982 Echowan is like comparing Gary. Indiana, with Disney World. And the 1983 Echowan is sure to be even better! It's not only the technical features that improve each year — the beautiful color processes and stunning, imaginative layouts — but the talent and downright cleverness of the staff seems to rise each year. The old copy seems dull, while the new copy is sharp, scintillating — professional journalism a la New Yorker. It captures the mood and spirit of the times, the relevancies and irrelevan-cies of the high school daze. The prose concise, yet complete; accurate, yet colorful. The headliners of ’82 were really with it. But I expect the '83 staff production to make Banner Headlines. I'm going out on a limb and predicting the greatest yearbook yet. After all. isn’t the class of '83 the greatest? Dave Litsey English teacher Dear Editor, Now that the 1982 yearbook has been published and distributed. I would like to take this opportunity to comment on the overall outcome of the book. As editor of the 1982 Echowan. I am probably its toughest critic and I am very proud of it. There was a lot of time and effort devoted to its production and I feel very honored to have been a part of its makings. The year of 1982 was a year full of exciting events. Through the help of fine journalism and photography, we recapped memorable events such as the closing of the Met. the Royal Wedding, prom and graduation. Being out of high school, I didn’t think I'd look at the book very often. I found I was wrong. The book serves more than just the present; it helps recap the past and remind me of my precious times as a senior. Penny Levine 1982 Echowan Editor Dear Editor, The overall appearance of the 1982 Echowan is very impressive. The theme is eyecatching and the varied content of school, community, state and national news was noted. The focus of the book is on students, their lives in school, and the many programs and activities that take up their time. It serves as a chronicle of the 1981-82 school year. In future years, former students and staff can look at the Echowan to remind them of the lives and times of the year. This year's Echowan staff has a tough standard to reach if they are to match the product of the previous year. I have the confidence that they will meet the challenge of their predecessors and will produce another yearbook that will equal and may even surpass previous staffs' work. Richard L.

This was one senior's reaction to coronation while Queen candidates, Mary Borgen and Karen Tysk reflected upon the week as being “very nervous, totally busy, but great.” After Dave Anderson and Cheryl Gunness, Host and Hostess, announced the Lords, Ladies and King and Queen candidates the actual crowning began. Within minutes, Tony Taschner was revealed as the new King and Colleen Culp the new Queen. The crowd went home, but the night was still young for the members of the event, who still had dinner awaiting them at the Camelot. Because of the late evening, members were excused the following day until noon. Taschner and Chris Franz had a hard time explaining why this was so to Roger Thompson, trigonometry teacher. He was temporarily unwilling to accept this as a valid excuse. Coronation proved to be a time of smilea, activity and friends. It was a highlight of the year and was memorable for those who voted, set it up, and participated.

Maybe just because I'm a senior, but I think that a lot had to do with people becoming more involved. That made it better”, said Lori Oestreich. Added to all the usual activities held at homecoming time, in 1982 the first campout was held. “I thought the campout was a blast.” said Karen Coulin, “except that it was awfully cold and the school seemed really far away. Maybe co-ed tents and Satellites next year will solve that.” Bruce McLean, advisor of the campout, felt that “it went off very well. Students behaved themselves and there were no major problems. It should become a continuing tradition.” Other homecoming activities carried their usual spirit raising prestige. The pie-eating contest was, as usual, the most popular event. Seniors stuck their faces into pies for the last time, while freshmen gained their first experience, and sophomores and juniors simply enjoyed the fun with more contests to look forward to in the future. The volleyball games occupied two nights of the week, as students served up spirit. The lunchroom games, backgammon and ping-pong, kept students in the homecoming mood throughout school hours. The pepfest was highlighted by the Varsity Show, a skit about two girls from the fifties launched into the eighties via the Twilight Zone. It also boosted the already high spirits in preparation for the evening's game and dance.

Unpredictable events added excitement to Homecoming 1982. One surprise was the football game. The team had its first Homecoming win in six years. They beat Richfield 24 to 7, dominating the game on both offense and defense. David Whiteford. senior, contributed both as quarterback and kicker, making an outstanding 40 yard field goal. Another plus for fans watching the game was the annual Homecoming parade. Rollie Hanks, head coach, had jested at the pepfest that Tony Taschner, Homecoming King and member of the team, could only take the customary ride around the field with Colleen Culp, Homecoming Queen, if Park Jed by the end of the second quarter. Sure enough, a hot. sweaty Taschner could be seen in the car leading the parade. Homecoming ended energetically with a sock hop in the gym.

Many people didn't know who the Senior Board was; nevertheless, the group played an important role. “The Senior Board does things that otherwise would be left to teachers, parents, or individual students, if it got done at all,” stated Dave Linne, advisor. “Were you aware, for example, that the Board sends sympathy cards to the bereaved families of students?” Because of their obscurity, members sometimes felt overlooked. “I feel that people just expect us to do things like the all-night party and the graduation announcements,” said Senior Lori Oestreich. However, she and other members felt it to be a worthwhile experience. In the words of Kris Hanson, “It's a chance to do something for the whole class of ’83.” Left: Date Linne chuckles at the idea of alcohol at the all-night party. 23 Below: While rehearsing the number “Consider Yourself the cast offers their support to Oliver.

His comment summed up the quality of Park Drama Department's fall production. For despite the fact that the school's drama budget was cut over sixty percent, “Oliver, directed by Pete Peterson, was a stylish success. Based on the Dicken's novel, “Oliver had a cast of seventy, including senior high students, twenty 5th through 7th graders and five adults.

Befriended by Nancy (Abbie Furmansky, junior), who is murdered for her kindness by Bill Sykes (Chad Sedlacek, senior), Oliver eventually finds his true family and happiness. The singers and dancers all contributed to the professional quality of the production. Furmansky's Nancy was warm and fullvoiced as she ranged from the boisterous “Oom-Pah-Pah to the poignant “As Long As He Needs Me. In numbers like “Pas De Deux” and “Consider Yourself' the energetic dancers sparked much applause, as did Mr. and Mrs. Sowerberry (seniors Megan Williams and John Vaida) in “That's Your Funeral.” At the close of the evening the delighted audience left truly believing, along with the cast, that “It’s a Fine Life”. m 1983 PARK BAND Above: Marty Marion and Shelly Moe get married. “It was a well organized dance. I think most everyone had a very good time. said Mark Unze, senior. The Sadie Haw kins dance was sponsored by the cheerleaders with profits going to the cheerleading fund. The 1983 Sadie featured a band called the Tourists, which included three members from Park Seniors Don Damborg, Pete Elstrom, and Chad Sedlacek. “The band played a combination of jazz and rock which was very easy to dance to, said Unze. When couples took a break from dancing they were kept busy with many other things. One of the more popular options was getting “hitched by Park's own Marryin' Sam, Bruce McLean. Couples w ho patiently-waited in this long Marryin' line were treated to an informal service, a certified license, and a kiss from their new spouse. Other time was spent while couples had their pictures taken, surrounded by haybales and pumpkins. The school cafeteria was equipped with a makeshift jail for detaining unsuspecting guys caught not holding hands with their dates. The cheerleaders and their dates served as acting sheriffs in charge of “busting the guilty couples. Prisoners could rarely be seen, since bail was set at a kiss from the accused's date. Bread and water were not supplied in jail so, after being released, many couple went to celebrate at a nearby refreshment stand, which represented the town restaurant.

LIFE 1983 Intramurals Above: At Brian Strachota puts up a shot. Bobby Oleisky goes for the block. Intramural sports had become quite an event. It was no longer a simple game of basketball or volleyball played by ragtag teams. In the past two year it had turned into a fairly big event at Park. Intramural basketball and volleyball had become a game with both complex name and uniforms, which just added to the general excitement generated by the games. The names had exceeded past names in both deep meaning and comedy. With such names as Equal Ethnics, Hooptroop, Bricklayers, Supreme Court, and the King and the Knights of the Roundball, it is no wonder that the games were so popular and were always the center of conversations on Tuesdays. “The names have a lot to do with inside jokes,” commented Lee Prohofsky, senior of the Knights. We call ourselves the Bricklayers because of the type of shots we take,” said Brett Duke, senior. The name Equal Ethnics came about because the team had three Jewish people and three Christians. The King and the Knights of the Roundball came about because “After last season as the Seven Dwarfs, we decided on the King and the Knights of the Roundball because of King Tony Taschner, and we had some really good ideas for jerseys,” remarked John Anderson, senior. “We were going to be the New York Slam Exchange, but it didn't go over well!” Others, like the Supreme Court, took their names from basketball memorabilia. But besides the names, plays, and uniforms, it all came down to one thing — having fun — and with the fun that they’ve been having, it'll be around a long time.

But what was often not realized by most students was the hard work and devotion required to be a good cheerleader. First of all, the aspiring cheerleaders had to try out for a spot on the squad. They practiced many hours to get ready for the tryout, and then presented three different cheers to the group of senior cheerleaders. If they were fortunate enough to be chosen, they went on to the practice sessions in the L ft: From Row: A. Remiarx. B. Duke, J. Froom, M. Rrtnirk, T. Wright, D. Lauer Row 2: J. Bergeron, K. Tytk, M.

Froom summer, which lasted three hours every day for two weeks. There they learned new cheers and prepared themselves for the coming season. Once school was in session, practices were every Wednesday for two hours. At these practices, the cheerleaders made posters and calendars, practiced cheers and made up new ones. During games and pep fests they did their best to keep up the fans' spirit. Lora Tangney, junior, remarked, “It's great to be out there cheering when the fans join in with you. You feel proud to be able to represent the school.’ While the girls were cheering on the sidelines, a group of male cheerleaders arrived on the scene to help them out. Although they were new and different, the boys had just as much pep and spirit as the girls' squad. Lizanne Pearson, junior, commented, “I enjoyed having them out there with us.

Other features included a special Homecoming issue, where an entire page was devoted to pictures of Homecoming, and a six page issue (instead of the usual four pages) that covered the money problems students faced as the holiday season drew near. The staff of 18 people put much time and energy into every one of the 14 issues that came out. There was always the pressure of constant deadlines. Page layouts had to be drawn up, photographs had to be printed, stories had to be written, and ads had to be sold. Many extra hours were spent at the printer’s after school and on days off to check proofs. Left: Laura Stonhoute and Leah Kaplan eat lunch and go over an Echo.

Financial burdens were looming heavy over the fate of Mandala, Park’s literary-arts magazine. Substantial deficits almost brought the magazine to an end. But a fresh idea was sprung and Mandala survived because forces were joined. Students received the combination of the Echowan, the Mandala, and the Echo for one price. For this reason the Mandala was produced during the first semester and not the second. Contributions were scarce and the staff was worried that there wouldn’t be enough to make a magazine. Debi Johnson, senior, commented that it “may affect the quality because most big projects in art and photography-classes arc done in the second semester.” Beth Grambsch, senior, concluded, “It presents more of a challenge to the staff and we’ll have to work even harder.” Above: MAX DA I A STAFF From Row: D.

In the past, the Welcome Committee had played a very low key role. But in 1982 it was decided that the committee needed recognition in order to be more effective. “I feel that if the Welcome Committee were more independent and knew more about student activities, then we would be better able to meet new students' needs and make them a part of our school, said Cheryl Niemann, chairman of the committee. Niemann felt the committee was seen mostly as a branch of the Student Council, and that they didn't help students outside of showing them around school. It was felt that they needed to sponsor some activities, but due to previous inactivity the committee lacked funds. Members decided to co-sponsor a dance with the student council and split the profits. They could then spend this money on activities promoting the Welcome Committee.

Celebration, students put their distinctive brand of creativity on a stylish musical. This story was a parable involving a young orphan and a corrupt, wealthy old man. The plot was carried out using the theme of a winter summer relationship through a New Year's Eve. According to Pete Peterson, director, “I selected Celebration to give students involved in the theater an opportunity to do a non-traditional musical. Celebration deals with modern themes and not just the usual boy-gets-girl story. It also uses the style of Kubuki theater with masks, make up, and symbolic gestures and actions to communicate the story and ideas. Dave Reynolds, who played the Orphan, felt that the play was a great experience and something that was fun to be a part of. “It was a lot of work but the fun we had was well worth it,” he added. Scenes like “I want to be somebody, included a strange mode of events. Eight actresses dressed in skimpy outfits performed with whips. It proved to be more risque than scenes done in previous years. Another innovation the audience liked was the dispersement of players in the crowd, which made the audience feel involved. The song Celebration both opened and closed the play. It portrayed this ideal and seemed to say “go out and live!” Riches required were portrayed as no way to gain happiness. People got the feeling that they should go out and search for happiness through courage and a positive attitude.

Bright lights overhead, football players running around behind them, seats containing 60,000 staring football fans, these are the experiences that the Parkettes had cheering for the Vikings in the new Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. Before the NFL strike hit, it was decided by the Viking office that the cheerleaders needed new uniforms: purple capes, white leather vests and skirts. After the strike ended, the Parkettes had to earn money to make up for the lost income. In other words they weren't paid for the missed games and the cost of new uniforms was an additional strain. They sold crocks of cheese, pizzas, scissors, candy bars, and they held a holiday fair.

The Cerebral Palsy Association had some of the Parkettes dance for its annual telethon. During halftime of the AFC championship game, the telecast broke away to local stations. The local telethon featured the Parkettes as half-time entertainment, introducing them to a wider audience. Even with the added attention that cheering in the dome provided, the Parkettes were plagued with injuries and members quitting. Four of the girls dropped out while three pf four seniors were sidelined due to injuries. Despite the pains, the Parkettes stuck together. “Parkettes are like a family. You spend a lot of time together in your three years. It’s a closeness that will be missed, admitted Maribeth Morlock, senior.

There were two reasons for the development of Park Singers. They were the demand for a small mobile singing group to perform outside the school and the need for an opportunity for students to join a singing group where previously they were unable to because of a full schedule. The small group of singers practiced four mornings a week before school and at some other times, depending on their performance schedule. There were only 1 5 in the group. This size was determined by the number of basses and tenors. Park Singers performed at the school music festival, nursing homes, and banquets. They were paid for some of their performances. Although the school’s chorus program was small and not very well known to the school, Chris Whittemore, senior, said. ‘kI hope this group will help get more school interest.” Above: Singing with expression during the mu.tie festival is .Mike Mark.

This large choral work with a mass chorus, orchestra, and a guest director took place on March IS at Hopkins High School. Four schools participated — St. Louis Park, Hopkins, Richfield and Minnetonka. The group of 300 practiced with the University of Minnesota chorus director.

Jazz ha ila tradition of having a certain combination of trumpet , trombone , and saxophones. St. Louis Park Senior High School followed that tradition with its own Jazz Ensemble. An extra-curricular activity. Jazz Ensemble was open to any student. These students learned musical techniques and a style of music different from the style used in other classes, the jazz style. According to Dr. Lance Strickland, director, the jazz style has to be used or it will be forgotten. Strickland also wished that the students had had the opportunity to hear other jazz ensembles so they could get a better sense of the jazz style. The students rehearsed not only to prepare for two main concerts, the Music Festival and the Jazz Festival, but to obtain the highest level of performance possible.

At the beginning of the year, the group played semi classical music; during the rest of the year, mostly straight classical was played. The Winter Concerto Program allowed orchestra students to play solos and gave them an opportunity to play a repertoire by standard composers. A lot of ensemble work was done throughout the year. Kristen Nairn, senior, felt that the ensembles were good because they initiated association with people. The Orchestra played music written for strings only, as well as full orchestra music. Nairn said that she would like to play harder music but with the small size, it's hard to get the sound wanted. But Junior Laura Stonhouse added that, “There’s something to be learned either way.” Left: Laura Stonhouse and Tim Olson tune up before starting to play.

The Varsity Band, under the direction of Lance Strickland, proved itself to be a valuable asset to school activities even though it was plagued by an insufficient number of members. Because students had trouble fitting the class into their schedules, Strickland found himself with only 67 members, a very low-number fora marching band. Amy Blackmore, senior, stated, “Our size sometimes limited what we were able to do.” And Strickland added, “The visual effects on the field were not as pleasing as a larger band would have been.” Despite their lack of members, Strickland emphasized, “They were one of the best-sounding bands I’ve ever directed.” Strickland attributed their good sound to the proper balance of instruments. The most prominent task of the Varsity Band was to perform at home sporting events. It was their job to play the national anthem before each game and to produce a feeling of excitement and school spirit through traditional “pep” songs. Drum majors Doug Bratland and Val Thomas, seniors, were in charge of the band on the field and in the stands. Strickland felt that “more enthusiasm was generated by using student leaders.” Three formal concerts were conducted by the Varsity Band at various times during the year. This was done to give students a broad background in music. Thus, all year, school activities were enhanced by the sounds and actions of the Varsity Band. Right VARSITY BASD Imi fU B Brukmn. N.

As a result of budget cuts and declining enrollment, the Concert Band was actually no longer a concert band — it was considered a large wind ensemble. A wind ensemble is a small band which consists of about 40 to 45 members; a concert band is made up of about 75 members. Dr. Lance Strickland, the band's director, felt that there were some advantages to this reduced size group (45 members): “You get a much clearer tone quality and better intonation with a smaller group.” Cheryl Gunness. senior, commented, “The band this year is much smaller than it was last year. I like it better; the group is more cohesive.” With a smaller group it was easier to achieve a more intimate sound. To capitalize on this effort, more classical music was played by the band. One of Strickland's main goals in music selection was to make choices that would be entertaining to the students as well as the audience. Because of the loss of an assistant due to faculty layoffs, Strickland had to bring more academics and chalkboard teaching into the band room. He had to teach better sight reading skills and explain the more technical and theoretical aspects of music in hopes that students could solve their problems on their own, with less personal instruction. Recent budget cuts not only reduced the number of faculty members, but also reduced the size of the band. Fortunately, these limitations did not hinder the quality of their performance.

Jazz Lab became very popular. Many more people than in previous years bad signed up, making an eager group of thirty. Fifteen were guitar players, causing rehearsals to be a bit unbalanced. Nevertheless, Lance Strickland, director, encouraged the overflow, “I’ve designed the curriculum with non-band members in mind to give them a chance.” When asked how the band had performed, Strickland said, “I think it was the best class yet because there were a lot of seniors, creating a more polished sound.” Third-time-around seniors had the experience. Strickland also stressed that it was fortunate that the sophomore drummers hadn't learned poor methods, so he didn’t have difficulty instructing correct style. And, instead of playing a whole set of numbers sounding alike, the Lab was able to learn a wider variety of music. Below: JAZZ LAB Front Row: G. Snyder. Si. Ostrow, Dg. Bralland. D. Reynolds. D.

Dick Bartholomew, director, pointed out, “. . . if the kids don't like the music nothing is gained.” The problem was solved with the use of a survey that Bartholomew offered to the entire band. The group was to choose ten pieces they enjoyed the most. A few that made the list were “Salsa Rock,” “Overture for Today” and “In the Mood.” Freshman band students were given another challenge with a chance to join the Jazz Ensemble on a limited basis. With the opportunity to expand into jazz and the freedom to pick their own material, the Freshman Band had shown that their basic playing skills were not their only talents. 53 7 Reynold , J.

As media assistant, Swerdlick also aided Pete Peterson, KDXL advisor, in training various media production classes in the operation of the station. Listeners were found throughout the surrounding suburbs, from St. Louis Park to Anoka to Fridley. One nice aspect of the radio station was that listener song requests could be fulfilled. New equipment enhanced the quality of the Station’s reception, thereby broadening the listening audience. The format of music played on KDXL also differed from other radio stations in that no restrictions on style were set. All of the disc jockeys could choose their own music when running the radio station. This meant that one could listen to punk or heavy metal songs as well as to jazz or country western. Many albums were sent by production companies for promotional purposes which helped keep the music selection up-to-date. Advantages to listening to KDXL and taking part in the production of it were varied. From the non-commercial, personalized music shows to the unique classroom where students had unlimited freedom, all involved could enjoy.

It's a very good class; I recommend it to anyone who needs experience in the job market, said Jodie Bushcy, senior. The students participated in many activities. Most attended the State Leadership Conference in which they competed in their area of skill. The biggest event of the year was the employee-employer breakfast. Happenings books were sold to pay for the breakfast. Bob McKay, advisor, said, “It gives the students a sense of leadership; they get to run the whole show. Bight: As hit class is busy at work.

This was based on how the students did in class and in their jobs. Julie Lebakken, HEART President, was the first person to receive this honor. Indeed, HEART had a year of firsts. James Horris, senior, was elected public relations officer of Minnesota. He was elected at the Fall Delegate Assembly, being one of eight officers elected in the state.

Due to a decline in enrollment, DECA was reduced from two classes to one. As a result, they did not have enough people in the class to have their annual visits to different homes to perform on Christmas.

This definition could easily be used to describe the Student Council in 1982-83. The Council's year consisted of introducing new activities to spark student participation and representing the school throughout the community. Student Council succeeded in carrying out the first school Homecoming campout, provided frequent movie nights and sponsored both SnoDaze and Prom. The Council accomplished all this with only half as many members as in previous years. Jim Levine, Student Council President, said the decision to cut the size down was so the Council would “work more effectively and get more accomplished.” Overall, the Student Council had a productive year, with many positive results from students and faculty. U l: Tom Levy, Tim Richmond and Joanne Twite use teamwork to plan events. 63 Above: Andy Herman is ready for a challenge. The fencing team at Park nearly doubled its membership for the '82-’83 season. What appeared to draw the new members, incidentally, was the same intrigue that kept the past members coming back: fencing seemed to offer a sense of challenge for the students. The fencing team, coached by Bill Stanley, was primarily a rookie team. When first-year member Andy Remiarz, senior, was asked what initially attracted him to fencing, he responded, “It was a new experience, and it offers a challenge.’ This feeling was also felt by first-year member Brett Duke, senior. They felt that it was not as physically challenging as many other sports. However, it required a great deal of concentration along with hand-eye coordination. Many members who had participated the previous year also came back mainly due to the challenge. Cheryl Cunness, senior, who was in her third year of fencing, remarked that, “It is still a challenge. There is always room for improvement.” Other members from the previous year also stated that it was the challenge that brought them back again. When the question of how fencing differed from their other high school sports was asked to the team as a whole, the response was unanimous. A majority of the members felt that the most apparent difference was that their opponents ranged from their age to those who were middle-aged. They felt that this was an advantage, as fencing opponents with a wide range of experience offered more room for improvement and learning skills were attained much faster. “It was also very enjoyable!” Vcred Sharon, sophomore, said.

Where is the best place to meet people without having to stand up or much less look for them? “A chairlift at a ski resort, replied Sherry Ryter, junior. For six Tuesdays during the winters, students got a chance to try their luck on the chairlifts of Afton Alps with the ski club. They went after school and returned home at 10:30, discussing who they had met that day. Ski club is a good chance for students to go out with other students to have a good time. We get a chance to meet the students and get to know them better, not as disciplinarians, but as friends,” said Bob Penney, one of the supervisors of ski club. Todd Gustafson, the other supervisor, added, We really enjoy the skiing and we haven’t had any major problems with the students. They’ve really handled themselves well. The ski club wasn't funded by the school. There was money left over from the previous years to make the trips possible. AINTED Above: Todd Gustafson and Bob Penney show that chaperones can be friends, loo. Therefore, this was the reason for the decrease in prices for the 1983 season. In fact, one of the main attractions of ski club was the price. The price for the lift ticket was four dollars each week. The regular rate at Afton Alps was around ten dollars. Adam Goldstein, sophomore, commented, It’s really hard to go out skiing on your own. With ski club, I got the chance to go skiing once a week and it was a lot cheaper than going on my own. I also got the chance to ski with all sorts of people and meet kids from Park that I might not otherwise have known.

Above Th dirsetor of tho off so so, Brsndsn McCa� sots things up. There were a lot of depressing moments for the boys’ basketball team this season, but the promise of some underclassmen gave hope for the future. With only four seniors on the squad, Augie Schmidt, coach had to depend on some production from the sophomores and juniors, and they did not let him down. Jason Kloos, junior, was the team’s most consistent offensive player. Jason leads us in scoring, shooting percentage and assists, which shows you what he means to our team, remarked Schmidt. The other guard was Brendan McCashin, sophomore. “McCashin was the surprise of the team. He made enormous improvement during the summer. We did not expect him to be contributing this much so early.” Schmidt said. The team had a hard time winning their first game, not getting untrackcd until February 1, beating Minnetonka 55-53. Kloos led the Orioles in that game with 21 points and McCashin finished the night with 15 points of his own. Balow: T. Morgan, L. Hanka, A. Schmidt, A Boltar and G.

The team’s skill and confidence emerged in their toughest game, which was against Burnsville. Park dominated the game through the second half with a score of 2-1. Then, with only 17 seconds left, Burnsville scored, ending the game with a tie score of 2-2. Dave Johnson, senior, believed the game was an achievement because “we played as a whole team, and not as individuals. Tri-captains Marty Lasley and Mike Forstrom, seniors, along with Johnson, expertly led the team. Coach Andy Droen was there to oversee their performance. Even though there wasn’t full fan support at all times and the weather didn’t always cooperate, the team held up until the end by keeping their spirits up. Forstrom felt that we had a very talented team, and everyone improved as the season wore on.” VARSITY GIRLS' BASKETBALL: Front Row: M. Houston, manager; 0. R. Dummef. S. Foulkes. J.

The team experienced a phenomenal season and had an excellent chance to enter the state tournament. During the year they produced some exciting victories. Among these was the 55-50 win over previously undefeated Edina. Beth Lindblad, junior, reported, “It felt great to beat Edina because of the longtime rivalry between us.” Along with their season record of 15-3, the team had great unity. Carol Gustafson, junior, felt, “We had a special king of friendship that helped us on the court.” They were not a tall team, but they possessed other attributes. According to Gustafson. We had a lot of people who could contribute instead of just one or two. This made it harder for the other teams to play defense. And that was true, for the season’s outstanding accomplishments proved it. CtmiiS' SWIMMINO CLOSENESS. SPIRIT CONQUER ALL As the Girls’ Swim Team began its season, it faced a variety of problems. With spirit, the team intended to conquer their contenders. According to Keri Karncr, coach, the team unexpectedly lost four top-quality swimmers. “The smallness made it difficult to make up a good Varsity line-up,” stated Debby Dumas, senior, co-captain. Despite all that the swimmers dealt with, they had lots of spirit. According to Beth Grambsch, senior, they had a lot more spirit than in the past. They managed to get together a male cheering squad. Becky Elstrom, junior, commented, “They’re great! Our best meets were at home with them.” The team spirit was obvious to the school as the team members wore outlandish clothes and carried around stuffed animals. Cheryl Ingram, senior, said. “The captains were good. They got everyone psyched and made the team a team.” Colleen Culp, senior co-captain, felt that the smaller size helped make the team closer.

The Girls’ Soccer Team had a record number of freshmen: four suited up for varsity and three were able to start. The freshmen on the team were Amy Davidson, Karla Johnson, Barb Eide, and Cindy Aarsvold. The girls ended the season with an eight and four record. “This has been one of the best seasons ever. I’m really happy about it. Everyone gets along so well,” stated Sherry Ryter, junior. “The highlight of the season for the team was when we defeated Burnsville, the top-placed team, two to one,” commented Amy Davidson, freshman. In regions, the girls won their first game two to zero over Hopkins. They lost their second game to Kennedy, four to zero. “This is the first time that we have improved over a season, commented tri-captain Karen Hansen. “We really came together at the end.

It’s the homecoming football game against Richfield and, you heard it right. Park is winning! Park won its first homecoming game in six years. “We dominated the whole game,” said Rollie Hanks, coach. “It was fun to sec a game start with a spark.” The game against Hopkins didn’t start with a spark but it ended with one. With seconds left, Hopkins had the ball inside the one yard line. “It was a great play by the defensive line, said Hanks. “We held them and won 6-0.” When Park played Minnetonka nothing went well, but the mistakes of the game were to our advantage. Park made many interceptions and recoveries. Greg Ryter, senior, scored the only touchdown after Park recovered a Tonka fumble on the 11 yard line. The season was optimistic with the homecoming win. “It was like the pay off of three years on varsity,” said Dave Whiteford, senior.

GOAL SET FOR SUCCESSORS It was a season to remember! That was the feeling of the members of the Girls’ Volleyball Team as they recalled the season just ended. “We had a good record,” commented Caren Goldman, a senior member of the team. “We came in second in the Lake Conference South, and we were close as a team, really friends. According to Goldman, the best game of the year was probably against Edina because, “We haven’t beaten them recently so it was a satisfying feeling.” The goal of the team this year was to make it to the state tournament. This goal went unrealized, perhaps because as senior, tri-captain Julie Bachman remarked, “We had a let down after we lost to Cooper. But that goal will continue to be what the team aims for and, according to Bachman, “If we had one wish for next year’s team it would be that they could be the ones to make it. With junior players like Beth Lindblad and Carol Gustafson returning, we think it is a real possibility.” Below: Huddling for their pre-game pop talk, the Girls' Volleyball Team receives last minute words of encouragement.

During the course of the season Park played in front of such people as Brad Beutou, Head Coach of the University of Minnesota Hockey Team, and a host of other college coaches. One of the games those college coaches saw was on February 5 when Park played the number four ranked Edina Hornets. “It was definitely one of our best performances of the season,” said Senior Co-Captain Tom Wright. “We gave the fans a lot to cheer about.” Park scored the game’s first goal and played the Hornets tough most of the way but were outscored 6-2. Sophomore goalie Mike Maki proved to be one of the standouts of the game, stopping 43 of the 49 Edina shots on goal. 87 NEW ADDITION: NEW TALENT Beginning in August and ending in October, the Cross Country Team, with their new addition, once again showed that they were in the running for the Lake Conference title. The new addition was a girl’s team. In the past, the girls did not have a large enough turnout to form their own team. This year the girls had 17 participants. Five arc necessary to qualify as a team. The rookie line up consisted of many runners that had started running in junior high. The girls finished the season with a 3-3 conference record. Since the girls were in the spotlight, the boys were forced to push harder to receive adequate recognition. Combining the new talent with the old veterans, the boys finished with a 4-2 conference record and capped the season with a sixth place finish in the regions. The girls did keep up with the guys by placing fifth in regions. Below: Nancy Lindberg and Diana Gaffnay puah Above: With intanaa concentration, Danny themselves to a paraonal victory in Rag Iona.

BO g SWXMSKKIIVO “■ SPIRIT, LOYALTY REBUILD TEAM “It was a tough year, commented Jim Levine, captain. With the graduation of many top swimmers last year, the goals of having an incredible season became distorted a bit. Because of the decline of participants on the swim team this year, stated sophomore Scott Dale, Wc have labeled this year a rebuilding period. Wc have been working hard with the underclassmen as well as improving the overall ability of the seasoned veterans. Fortunately the team still had Kevin McMillcn and Scott Dale, who were both experienced because they swam in the AAU (Amateur Athletic Union). The combined efforts of these swimmers made a significant difference this season,” explained Levine. One significant goal the team accomplished was achieving team spirit and loyalty,” commented senior Todd Sowdcr. Because swimming can be an individualistic sport, it is sometimes very difficult to achieve total team loyalty, this year our team loyalty and spirit went unsurpassed. This year the team posted impressive wins over Minnetonka. Armstrong and Kennedy. Above: Leading the field, Jimmy Levine takee hit last breath before turning for the final lap.

Gymnastics was a definite exception in the Park sports scene. The team consisted mostly of freshmen, and the captains were sophomores, unlike other junior and senior dominated sports. At the beginning of the season, things were a little rough for the gymnasts. Karen Harris, team manager, commented, “We had a problem with self-discipline at the start of the season. But, as time passed and we worked harder, our team’s success improved.” Another limiting factor in the gymnasts’ season was the small size of the group. The sport was not as popular as other competitive sports, resulting with only a small number of girls who wanted to try out. Despite this fact, the team members practiced diligently and strove for individual as well as team success.

The Social Studies Department, for example, introduced changes through which students learned the meaning of responsibility and other changes that would affect the future of the department. The Social Studies Resource Center was where changes were felt the most. Unlike last year, when there were two librarians, this year there was only one to help students. With only one librarian, students had to take the initiative to find out more on their own. However, by this they gained more independence. Also, the department was in planning stages for additions to their curriculum. Taking effect in fall of 1983, a course similar to Conflict of Values, previously a part of the English department, will be taken over by Social Studies. Lee Smith, teacher, added There will be no electives cut next year. The department also talked about a program designed for students who have learned English as a second language. This program would focus on such students becoming more familiar with American history and government, n will be no electives cut next year.” Above: T. Beugen. M.

Many changes were being made in the Math Department. Computers were beginning to play a more important role in the economy and the Math Department's curriculum changed and grew to accomodate this. David Bishop, head of the Math Department, felt that Park's computer classes were extremely important to today’s students. “With computers being used more and more widely in many businesses, I feel that it is important for students to at least be introduced to them,” Bishop stated. In 1982 the school received nearly 20 new Apple computers to provide students with a more adequate number to work with. Nevertheless, students were still required to work two and three to a single system. Being considered to provide more computer education were the possibilities of a vo-tech or student intern program for those who wished to advance their computer education. The Math Department had 13 sections of computer classes in 1982. With growing enrollments anticipated, plans were being made to equip another room for computer set-up the following year.

With a difficult curriculum, students had to work very hard, especially on writing.” Most of the students' time was spent reading and writing. They read from authors such as Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Franz Kafka, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Sophocles. Students prepared to take the AP Exam. If passed, this test granted students credit in many major colleges. The students decided the work was worth it. “It’s the best class I’ve ever taken, commented Amy Bearmon, senior. “The class is very rewarding but it’s very demanding. You have to put so much time into the work or else you won’t gain anything.

They miss out on a lot. That’s how Doris Johnson summed up the problem of cuts for the science department. Chemistry students were forced to work in groups of three and thus got less participation in each experiment. As in other classes, moves could no longer be ordered and old. out of date books had lobe used. Another clause in the cutbacks was to reduce the number of classes, therefore increasing the number of students per class. Increased class sizes pose many problems in the classroom along with the lab.” said William Moore. Students had to be more careful with so many more bodies milling around. With more students put into the same size lab it not only takes away from the students learning experience but also creates many more safety hazards,” Moore concluded.

No, a ‘warm fuzzy’ is just one of the items that was on sale at the Valentine’s Fair, sponsored by the Home Economics Department. The mini-fair was a first for the Home Ec. Department. It was designed through a joint effort between HEART and the Home-Ec department to raise money. The sale items included banana bread, jelly, popcorn balls, candy keychains, bookcovers, friendship pins, stuff bags, and warm fuzzics, that to some people looked like a baby chick, to others a Star Trek tribble. Staff and student intentions were to get more people acquainted with the department and to learn about activities in Home Ec and HEART. The fair was held on February 3 during lunch hours. Students enjoyed refreshments while browsing through the crafts and foods. “Home Ec classes arc a great break from regular classes,” explained Norma Wolk, junior. The ground that the department covered was wide and included Modern Foods, Child Development and even a class on money matters.

He uses art in the form of drawing to express his emotions and verbalize his thoughts. Nguyen came from Vietnam to the United States in 1975. He discovered his talent when he was eight years old by copying pictures from comics and books. He now uses his drawings as a substitute for spoken words. Nguyen communicates through ideas. He incorporates his ideas into drawings, breaking language barriers and enabling him to convey them through art. His deafness is a plus, not a minus, allowing him to concentrate on his work. He has a promising career and attitude: “I am glad that the deaf can do as the hearing, commented Nguyen. His performances have been highly recognized. Nguyen won the United States Congress Art Competition for the Minnesota Third Congressional District in the spring of 1982. His sponsor for this area was Congressman Bill Frcnzel. Nguyen’s painting, a self-portrait, was hung in the nation’s capitol. Robert Doe Anderson, art department head, feels that recognition such as Nguyen’s winning award enriches the whole art program and says, Cuong’s work helps other students by example.

Members of the various musical groups were proud to be involved in the arts. Unlike regular school courses, music courses gave students a chance to express themselves in their own unique way. Patty Morgan, freshman and orchestra member, commented, “There is a lot of creativencss involved when playing in the classroom and at concerts. During the course of the year, students in performing groups were involved in concerts and regional music festivals, while those in non-performing groups worked on music theory and composition. But most of their time was devoted to hard work and practice. It’s a grest feeling when everyone has worked their hardest and a practice turns out well. Cooperation and devotion are big factors in our group, said Kris Zcllman, a junior and music class student.

Health, Psychology Today • lig The boys in the sophomore class could’ve been mistaken for the boys at any other high school. They had two things predominantly on their minds, cars and girls. Cars were of great significance; They were a rite of passage into manhood. Countless doors were open as they first acquired their licenses and then their cars. No longer was it necessary to ask Mom or Dad for a ride. No longer did they have to tell the parents that they had to make a slight detour... up and down the Hopkins Strip! With the advent of cars came ultimately — girls. Getting the chance to ask out a cheerleader was like a dream come true. Taking a girl down to the lakes or a drive-in movie the perfect date. Although studying was never as popular as girls or cars it made strong gains. Video games were a big factor. The guys argued that besides bettering hand-eye coordination, they could learn a lot about computers. 120 Psychology Today, Sophomores Sophomore girls hove gone through rhe some fads over the years.

EXPANSION IS THE KEY “Working with students where they arc and plugging into their time table, was what Birdie Bagley. Learning Disabilities instructor, considered the most rewarding part of her job. Baglcy’s statement thoroughly explained the main objective of the Learning Disabilities Program. Learning Disabilities, the name recently chosen to replace SLBP, was designed to give students help in areas that posed most difficult for them. The program covered math, social studies, English and introduced typing into the curriculum. Special Education, under the direction of Roger Anderson, was another class geared to help those students with general learning disabilities. Anderson taught academic subjects and also a vocational class which placed many students on jobs. Anderson indicated that he introduced a unit on careers. By going to the Career Center and reading about many careers, his students could determine where their main interests were.

Students acquired diverse skills in courses such as typing, accounting, office procedures, and bookkeeping. The courses prepared students so that, if necessary, they would be able to go out into the business world and handle a job. Also, skills such as typing were helpful for students who planned to continue onto college. In the department new computers were added and computer techniques were entering the classrooms. Word processing also entered the curriculum of office procedures. In all the business courses, students found that they learned many useful skills and got a good basic business background. Sandy Sebo, junior, remarked, “Bookkeeping is a good start for the accounting world.” Marcella Johnson, head of department, felt Above: Edward Hanson observes Mike Dans-inger typing, in order to make sure his position at the keyboard Is correct.

Anytime someone wanted to find out their absences, all they had to do was consult the computer. Another big part of Mini-School was the teachers. George Olsen won an award for being a most excellent teacher. It was sponsored by the Minnesota Business Foundation for Excellent Educators. Olsen was nominated by Principal Richard Waino, teachers, parents and the administrators. For winning the award, he received a gold plaque, $4,000, tax free, and a dinner in his honor. “Although Mini-School is some times chaotic, it helps students go to class more regularly and helps them to gain more self confidence, said Olsen. n “T X t helped students go to class more and gain seIf -confidence.” Above: Sue Schrunk concentrates on a paper she wrote about the book Hiroshima.

In the preceding year, the program had last eight teachers due to budget cuts. Since the teachers’ time was limited this year, students had to accept more responsibility for finding alternative ways to accomodate their educational and personal needs. The Hearing Impaired Program, which two years ago organized a student council to increase leadership opportunities for hearing impaired students, became involved with the hearing student council.

Despite the national unemployment level, the Work Program was able to find jobs for many students. “The program was designed to give students the incentive to stay in school by making their school day shorter and at the same time, finding them jobs, stated Rodda. W.E.C.P. (Work Experience and Career Exploration Program), started the ,82-,83 year 26 students strong. The participants were involved in a variety of jobs ranging from bagging groceries to bank telling. The courses the Work Program students took were very similar to those of a standard program. Students took English, math, social studies, plus a half year of health. The freshmen were also involved in a W.E.C.P. seminar on how to conduct themselves in an interview, as well as how to plan for the future. “All in All it was a rather good year, concluded Rodda. “I saw a little more enthusiasm in my freshmen.

With the loss of one assistant principal, Ade Lconardi, to the Total Instructional Education Systems Program, the administrative staff had to assume many additional responsibilities. Frank Miller, assistant principal, added the responsibility of being in charge of juniors to his senior duties. Also, Miller was involved in overseeing extracurricular activities. Miller's additional duties included supervising dances and athletics. “It gives me the opportunity to become acquainted with more students, all different types, said Miller. Planning parcnt teacher conferences and working with building maintenance were added to Lyle Hanks’, administrative assistant, schedule. Computer operations and schedule development were left to Richard Wainio, principal. “With the added work, we're often overloaded, concluded Wainio. Since the principals had so much work.thcy had very litlc free time. To see a principal, it was necessary to make an appointment. The only problem was, you had to find them to make it. Cl “L t gives me the opportunity to get to know more of the students.” Right: Looking over his daily schedule.

Wayne Bcngtson and Gerry Thompson, senior class counselors, ran such a program to prepare seniors for life. In groups of 15-20, seniors discussed the problems they faced. All seniors were invited to participate. The program, held in conjunction with the Minnesota Post-High School Planning Program, included discussions ranging from graduation credits to labor market information. Students could seek advice about college applications and financial aid. Seniors found the applications, with all the questions and blanks, frustrating. “I don't know where the colleges get some of their questions, Left: As Wayne Bengston explains college guidance programs. Julie Davidson listens Intently. commented Chris Gahlin, senior. Other topics discussed included the military, job interviews and “senior scams” — businesses and schools that attempt to take advantage of students by promising benefits and making students pay money. n “C olleges ask so many questions. Where do they get some of them?” Psychology Today. Counselor • 13 EXCUSES! EXCUSES! EXCUSES! A day in the life of a Park secretary was not as dull as one would have expected it to be. Yes, there was lots of routine typing and filing, but the creativity of Park students as they phoned in their reasons for absence and supplied their excuses for tardiness, had increased as they moved from being freshmen to seniors. Of course, not all students used their imaginations to the fullest when they gave their excuses to the office. The average excuses of “I missed my bus,” ”1 overslept, I thought there was no school today and “I had car troubles were still among those most commonly used by students. But others were very inventive. My allergy pill wouldn’t let me up, was one of the more imaginative excuses for tardiness that Millie Sargcant remembered hearing during the three years she has worked in the office at Park. More excuses that found their way to the tardy list and brightened up the morning included: “The bridge was out, Too much pain,” “I got pulled over by a cop car,” The McDonald’s clock is different,” “My goldfish ate my car keys and My dog died; I couldn’t sleep.” n Above: Pattye Heifetz tens Millie Sargeant that he goldfish ate her keys.

Secretaries, Psychology Today • 141 KIDS MAKE JOB ENJOYABLE You had to love kids to be a hall monitor, cook, janitor or bus driver. Who else was willing to put up with the excuses and hassles of students to help make Park a better school? There wasn’t anyone who dealt with more hassles than Robert Penney and Todd Gustafson, two of the hall monitors. They had to face students smoking, fighting and stealing. While hall monitors cleaned up the kids, it was the janitors that literally kept Park clean. The custodians’job wasn’t easy. They had barriers to jump, like trying to sweep while students lounged at their lockers. They had polishing up to do, like fingerprinted windows. And they plowed through the garbage in the lunch room. Then there was Maddie Banwell, cafeteria aide, who listened to excuses every day. Students never left their tray on the table they were merely “coming back for it.” Ruth Hume, cook, said, “I get satisfaction out of making hungry kids happy.” To be a janitor, bus driver, cook or hall monitor you needed to love kids. As Barry Schlcring, senior, put it, “Park needed and couldn’t run without their help and concern.

Were they or were they not true? 1. Seniors partied all the time. Not all the time, just in months with an R in them. 2. Seniors had more homework than anyone. You'd never think so by the way they behaved. 3. Seniors got a slump. True and enough said. 4. Seniors never obeyed rules. False. They couldn't remember all the rules to break. 5. Seniors planned on college after graduation. Most did. but some planned to be bums. 6. Seniors were all alike. False. Some were male and some were female. There were many facts to be confused about seniors due to the individuality of each. But most seniors seemed to conform to these norms.

This restaurant, located at 6425 West 33rd Street, had an exciting flair that could be found nowhere else. The items on the menu were very diversified. They ranged from the Calculus Student Special to the Early Graduate -la-carte. One of the most outstanding entrees was the Basketball Player Served with a Cheerleader. which was familiar yet well-seasoned. The atmosphere was casual and was usually pleasant except for an occasional physics test. The service was. on the whole, friendly and prompt. The phone call about the dance was attended to right away, but the English composition was not cleared until the waiters were reminded to do so. Prices varied from meal to meal, but were moderate and within reasonable standards. The Soccer Game and the Friday Night Party were among the most inexpensive items on the menu. Prom and The Who concert were quite costly but proved to be well worth it. Summing it up. Seniors-on-the Park was a very agreeable experience and we highly recommend that you try it.

Graduation Presents 3. The Future. These are what seniors revealed according to a poll they were given. They exposed their unique and bizarre hopes for the near future. The most popular fantasies were to travel and become rich. While Nina Goldetsky was serious about becoming a U.S. Supreme Court Judge. Pattye Heifetz was aiming for a collaboration with Crosby, Stills and Nash. One of the most peculiar fantasies was Vico Khabie's wish to hang upside down and dine on onion rings. Brett Duke's fantasy would be fulfilled by becoming one of the Solid Gold dancers. Carolyn Krishef. 4'11 . confessed. It would be nice to see the world from a tall point of view. A few seniors fantasized about meeting that special someone. Midkey Bauers wanted to get physical with Olivia Newton John, while Jana Gullickson was longing to go on the Love Boat to meet a gorgeous guy. Hopefully, all seniors will keep striving to live out their special fantasies. For answer ft 2, turn to page 160.

You've been having those memory flashbacks again. Your high school years are vividly coming back to you. All those wonderful experiences, and. of course, you can't forget the embarrassing moments either. What will Park seniors remember?... Many of those who participated in the Homecoming Coronation found that was their best experience in high school, especially Colleen Culp who was crowned queen. The majority felt that getting good grades and sports were their best experiences. Cheryl Gunness said. I think my best experience was getting to know people better. Heidi Falk felt that becoming captain of the cross country ski team was her best experience; unfortunately, due to the budget, the ski team was discontinued. Amy Lindahl thought hers was eating donuts in German class. The embarrassing moments probably stood out more in the minds of the seniors than most memories. Falling out of a desk, asking a girl for a date, being yelled at by a teacher, and tripping up the stairs were some moments never forgotten. James Friedman John Froom Mark Gabel Christine Gahlin Christopher Gallice Kerry Gendler ‘Bradley Gilbert Thomas Girard Tami Gohmann Nina Goldetsky DREAM 2 GRADUATION REWARDS O: What would graduation be without presents? A: It would be like the lunchroom without Maddie — deprived. When asked their choice of graduation gifts, seniors came up with some interesting ideas: some practical, some common and some very original. Gifts of a practical nature, such as a typewriter and luggage, were requested by college-bound Margaret Bourdeau and Kathy Motzko. Frequently asked for wishes were cars, trips and money. All Tom Tyler wanted was a Porsche, while Emily May preferred a million dollars. There was also an original category which proved seniors imaginations didn't deteriorate after twelve years of education. Peace of mind was what Dave Thomas hoped for. and Raleigh Shapiro profoundly wished for a guarantee of world peace. A new set of teeth was asked for by Benji Kent and Jeff Langbehn wanted to end commencement in the proper style: with twenty sixteen-gallon kegs of Budweiser. Graduation presents might've been wishful thinking but class of '83 futures took serious thinking. For answer u3 turn to page 166.

Margo Hope Darcy Hoaar David Howard WAVE OF TRENDS HITS SENIORS French striped T-shirts and mini skirts were on their way out to make room for cumberbunds and bow ties. The tuxedo look was one of the many trends that rolled over the seniors of 1983. Another popular fashion tide was stonewashed jeans, worn with a white T-shirt, underneath a V-neck sweater. The Senior Class underwent a fashion change. Out were clothes that were in” and in were clothes that were more classic in style. Senior girls were not the only ones who joined the bandwagon of trend setting. In 1983 it was not uncommon to see a senior boy with a pierced ear sporting an earring anywhere from diamonds to chains. Hair was one of the first things changed by the boys. The feathered blow-combed look of perfection was replaced by a shorter casual style which typified the American spirit: relaxed with style. The boys did not demand great looks from their footwear. They went with the comfort of athletic shoes; many were seen worn with suits. A touch of classic fabric and tailoring — plus contemporary dash — is the direction that styles took in '83.

For these students early graduation did not mean there was time to spare. Most of these seniors, having put a lot of energy into getting everything done, did not take a break when first semester ended. Two of them went overseas to continue their education in foreign countries. Melissa Cook went to Israel to begin her college education. I have worked hard to reach this goal, and I am going to work harder to take full advantage of my opportunities. Cook remarked. Pete Elstrom went to France as an exchange student even though he had completed all requirements needed for graduation. There was a problem with transferring my credits so I would be able to graduate in France. I just decided to graduate early and not have to worry about it. commented Elstrom. It is often said that the senior year is the year best remembered. For a handful of students that was true even though they spent only the first semester at Park. These were the early graduates. Hyona Kim Jody Kirk Laura Kjellman Shari Klein Steven Knops Daniel Knudsen David Konetaki 165 DREAM 3 FUTURES, FAME AND FORTUNE Q: What were the goals of this year's senior class? A: Fame, fortune and a high quality of life. As the last semester came to a close, many seniors had to decide what they wanted to do with their lives. While some students still were not very sure of their plans, many others were. Among the latter group was Howard Feldman. I want to become a very famous architect, traveling around the world and working with famous people. I would like to be wealthy enough to be able to purchase a condominium in Marina del Rey. California. On weekends I would be able to race my sail boat to Hawaii. Humble David Swartz was also sure of his future. I want to be financially set by age 25; I want to become president of IBM. I’d like to control the destiny of others. Chris Gustilo prefers an alternative to the 9 to 5 businessman image. I want to make enough money so that I can buy a mansion in Mexico. I would teach tennis all day long, then sing in night clubs in the evenings. While all these lives seem super, only time can tell us the destiny of these students.

I talk like a Valley Girl if someone irritates me.” admitted Misty Farnham as her unusual habit. Other seniors, who due to their habits preferred to remain anonymous, exposed some of their strange activities. These included: I sing in the street late at night.” Flash cars.” Deliver papers at 3:30 a.m.,” I take karate and I punk dance in the parking lot. Todd Mershon regarded “eating a peanut butter, bologna, mustard and American cheese sandwich. as something he did that was out of the ordinary. Another senior found quite a creative use for jello. He did not eat it. he bathed in it. Looking under her bed was part of Chris Gahlin’s nightly bedtime ritual. Also. Jim Levine shared his procedure of dissecting pigs in his house.

Think the first day of school is hard on a freshman? Imagine what the 45 new seniors went through. They had to get used to the school just in time to leave it. find friends so their yearbooks would be signed at the end of the year, get grades good enough for college and hopefully join other seniors on the sports field. It may sound tough, but it wasn’t impossible. Roy Cole moved to St. Louis Park from Hawaii. He felt comfortable in his new classroom and had no trouble hitting the books. My grades are good and the teachers know how to communicate. commented Cole. Good classes make a good school. Jonas Alemo. a foreign exchange student from Sweden, found Park was more than a classroom, it was a soccer field. Alemo played left wing on the Park Boys' Varsity Soccer team. I joined the Park Girls' Varsity Soccer team. recalled Megan Dull who moved from West Minneapolis. I was made to feel a part of the team immediately. Everyone was so warm and friendly.” Thanks Park!

Swenson participated in the holiday spirit by dressing up as Santa Claus for children with learning disabilities. His DECA group entertained them at the Ruben Lindh Center. In Swenson’s closet there was also military attire. Swenson worked on entering the Marines as a Private, First Class. To qualify for this rank he had to recruit two others to join before his enlistment. If achieved. Swenson would immediately become officer material. When Swenson wasn't busy playing his other roles, he spent time working. Wearing blue pants and shirt, Swenson pumped gas and learned about brake installation and maintenance. Vo-Tech also provided another item in Swenson’s wardrobe, a welding mask. Besides welding, he was a Vo-Tech Student Council Representative. With so many uniforms and activities keeping him busy, it was a wonder Swenson found time to change and wash all those outfits.

The favorite senior partying spot was a warm home. Many also enjoyed Meadowbrook Golf Course, where bonfires were held on the warmer fall nights by the braver seniors who had to be on the lookout for patrolling squad cars. More imaginative seniors partied in caves, sheds, saunas and even waterbeds. At some parties, some of the seniors consumed alcohol! They drank everything from beer to mixed drinks to wine and champagne. There were some parties where a whole keg of beer was drained in one evening! Some parties were held that had themes. Costume parties were held on Halloween while the winter brought the Beach Party. where partiers donned their summer attire. Toga parties were also held and proved to be... interesting. Morning was a dreadful word for the partiers. but most caught up on their sleep and treated their headaches in preparation for graduation and an exciting summer.

Mark Stoneking Brian Strachota Bruce Strachota Jeffrey Strandberg Barbra Streisand Paul Swanson CONTENTS DEMONSTRATE CREATIVITY The main purpose of a locker is to hold a student's belongings throughout the course of the school year. But just what did a senior hide behind that metal door, secured by a lock? And what did the contents look like when one saw them? The contents of a senior’s locker may have contained many unusual articles. For instance. Laura Moe’s locker was the home of a mallard duck decoy while within the locker of Lisa Rumsch, a gumball machine could be found. Many seniors, such as Jeff Johnson, took great pains in decorating their lockers by lining them with carpeting or posters of various sorts. In contrast to the decorative lockers were the messy lockers. These lockers were overflowing with garbage and were seldom cleaned. The articles in messy lockers varied from old lunches, as found in Meg Williams’ locker, to dirty Kleenex, as found in the locker of Mike Resnick. To sum it up. the seniors kept many unusual articles in their lockers. And the articles kept within the lockers reflected the style and personality of their owners. David Swartz Curtis Swayze 181 M A S H’S SUBTLE HUMOR DRAWS SENIORS Attention all personnel! Report to the operating room. Incoming wounded. It’s going to be a long night folks. That was a familiar message to the crew at the 4077 Mobile Army Surgical Hospital and to the Class of 1983. Over 40% of all Park seniors named M 'A S H as their favorite show on TV. This was the final year of production for the amazingly successful show which had lasted ten years in prime time. What was it that made M 'A S so successful? It’s a combination of humor, realism and great actors. said Tom Levy, senior. One remarkable thing about the show was that the turnover in actors did not affect the ratings. Of the five original doctors, only one remained. So the question arose, how has the show changed? The older shows are less realistic and have lighter plots.” Sam Goldfarb. senior, explained, while the newer are deeper and more dramatic. M A S 'H has not always been so popular with this graduating class. I became a fan a couple years ago. I would watch the show before that, but I think it takes a more sophisticated sense of humor to fully appreciate what the show really has to offer. Levy concluded.

The concensus among seniors was that Pepsi topped Coke as the best tasting cola. 65 percent of the seniors named Pepsi to be the winner, while only 35 percent preferred Coke. Aiming High Kirsten Matheson qualified as a semifinalist for the ITT Corporation Scholarship. A Laughing Matter Although the newspaper is primarily designed for the news, most people turn quickly to the comic section, and seniors were no exception. Reading the funnies was a popular pastime. Ziggy proved to be the most popular comic strip, while Garfield, Peanuts, and Family Circus were also favorites. Some relatively new strips, such as Sally Forth and Bloom County, were gaining senior readership as well. You’re Not So Tough Of the seniors who saw the movie E. T., one-third cried.

Seniors Sing The Blues No doubt about it. blue was still the favorite color among seniors. Many different shades, ranging from turquoise to baby, were chosen for painting rooms and selecting clothes. Red came in second place, followed by green, purple and black. Oddly enough, orange, one of the school colors, received a very low rating. Northern Trek While most people went to Florida or California during winter vacation to escape the Minnesota cold, Tami Gohmann headed north instead. She stayed for two weeks in Anchorage, Alaska, visiting relatives. Gohmann and her family had also lived in Alaska a few years ago before returning to Minnesota.

EQUIPMENT COSTLY, HOURS LONG, BUT GROUND CONTROL KEEPS ON HOPING FOR CAREERS IN MUSI ‘‘It started as a hobby but now we all want to become musicians,” said drummer Scott Stillman, member of the all-junior band. Ground Control. Playing for a band entailed as much or more work than a full time job and required costly equipment. So why such effort when the competition was so great and the chances of success so small? It was one of the few fun things I like to do that’s legal,” said lead singer Bart Mahrer. Stillman and Mahrer, along with guitarist Mike Schultz and pianist Steve Anderson, spent up to twenty-three hours at practice weekly plus up to five professional performances a month. To compensate for the eight to ten thousand dollars invested in equipment, the group played for parties, clubs and schools. However, the band's main concern was not “playing to pay the bills.” explained Anderson, but to be in the public eye and become successful musicians. Anderson added, “If you really like your job. you’ve got it made.” Christenson. Paul Christensen. Thomas Chumley. David Cohen. Shari Coklas. Pamela Conley. Timothy Cruikshank. Donna Culp.

If one were to take a closer look at nicknames they would find that many are actually shortened versions of the person’s first or last name. Many such names were also found in the junior class. Some examples were Smitty.” Schonie.” ’’Toe. Magic” and Wils.” I think nicknames are much more personal than a person’s real name.” said Shawn Wilson, junior. They show part of a person's character one might never know.” Mike Smits. junior, acquired the name heartbreaker” from his friends due to his habit of breaking young girls’ hearts. Nicknames came not only from friends but also from family members as in the case of Brian Madge, junior. His initials are BAM and has been called Bam Bam by his father ever since he was young.

As this thought came to mind, they looked back upon their carefree childhood days. Children would say and do things in their own way. and sometimes these moments proved to be quite humorous. Bruce Bourne, junior, recalled. I once tried to ‘fly' off the garage roof, and sprained my ankle. I was also convinced that I'd always like 'Sesame Street.’ ” A favorite childhood pastime was playing games, such as “hide and go seek or house. Kara Waelti, junior, commented. My cousin and I invented a game called 'Freddie the Boogie Man.' We would call down the clothes chute and scare our brothers and sisters. Occasionally children even dared to think about what it was like to grow up. I thought that being grown up meant cleaning the house and having the lady next door over for coffee, like my mom always did. said Sarah Meland. junior. loftus. Laura Lonn.

COLLEGES ARE ON THE PROWL ---JUNIORS Look out! We’ve got you surrounded! You have the right to remain studious; if you give up this right, low grades can and will be used against you (on college applications, that is.) To have been a junior you were faced with the fact that your year counted more than any other year if you planned to go to college. First of all. the PSAT (Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test) was taken in October. This was the only college entrance exam most Minnesota colleges required. Also, since college applications were due during the senior year, the junior year was the most recent complete grade for colleges to have looked at. As Marcy Ettedgui felt. “The classes this year are the hardest ones I've ever had. Advanced Algebra was the math course taken most. Study of world history was the theme of social studies classes, and English Core 11 consisted of intense practice on correct paper writing and grammar. I never go home without a pile of homework. complained Jon Burstein. But I really think I’m learning more than ever. jeei tlie.pn!ssuf Js.

Kristine Keep listening With all the new TV series that were coming out, it was the oldies that were tops with the juniors. The overwhelming favorite was M A S H, about the medical unit stationed in Korea. M A S H could have been viewed as reruns on several stations, although the last first-run episode was presented in February. Other favorites were Soap and Benny Hill. Music combined with TV brought about the new favorite MTV, the music video station which was only seen on cable. Hines and Berglund, the disc jockeys on music radio WLOL, may have been the incentive all juniors needed to get them out of bed each morning; it certainly was the most popular radio station. E.T. starred in the movie that swept the nation and also swept Park. But Sylvester Stallone and Richare Gere were close behind with their new movies First Blood and An Officer and a Gentleman.

Richard Ezirlov’s greatest talent was touching his toes. Was it possible the gym teachers let such talent go unnoticed without signing him up for an advanced class? When we grow up By eleventh grade, many students already knew what they would like to do in their future. Tammi Zelkin wanted to go to college out East and study advertising. She then would develop logos for big companies and work up to her own business. Elliot Kula planned to go to college at Brandeis and become a psychologist. Sherry Ryter wanted to go to college in Minnesota and major in business; some day she may be the president of an international corporation and some juniors, like Murray Levitt, wished they could grow up and be professional businessman. On the move Some juniors didn’t always live in St. Louis Park. Some, like Cathy Jo Robinson, had lived all over the US, while others come from far away places such as England, Saigon and Leningrad.

Among the latter, Andrea Sachs, sophomore, stood out. Sachs, who was involved in the school marching band, also worked in ballet. Before Sachs became involved in ballet, she was greatly involved in gymnastics, a sport she gave up because of the intense competition. In ballet, stated Sachs, “I can go at my own pace, free of any pressure to compete. It’s an art I can continue to progress in for a very long time. Sachs worked on her ballet twice a week at the Sivanich School of Music and Dance. She worked with George Bannarons. a former professional who danced in Europe for five years. Bannarons was optimistic of Andrea's progress. Andrea is a good student; when I ask her to correct something, she does it without hesitation. All my instructions absorb in her mind like a sponge. Andrea sets a fine example for the rest of the class, concluded Bannarons. Andiea Sachs' instructor George Bai narons, loves to show otl his talent©! student Aaron. Benjamin Abramson.

STUDENTS FIND SURVIVAL OF COLLEGE-PREP BIOLOGY SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF Holy Smokes!” This infamous quote will always be heard echoing in the halls of the first floor circle as long as the combination of three elements occur: sophomores. College-Prep Biology and Hollace Sandholm. biology instructor. Much emphasis was placed on college in this class, and to the unsuspecting sophomores this seemed like a cold slap in the face. For the first time they were forced to face the harsh realities of life — yes. there is college after high school. The sophomores first believed that tenth grade would not be very different from ninth grade. “I heard from others who had taken biology that it wasn’t easy, but it’s tougher than I thought it would be,” commented Val Hovland. sophomore. To let the world know that they did indeed survive this ordeal, a few sophomores got together and decided to follow a tradition that had been started two years ago: designing, ordering and wearing T-shirts that read Holy Smokes.

You find yourself looking at a new shag haircut under which you may see a a furtrimmed coat and a pair of patched up jeans. Or maybe the hair was the straight and long look. People wore bell bottom pants, and Earth shoes grew in popularity. The simple seventies sophomore seemed to dress quietly and attracted little attention, but the eighties sophomore demanded it with sophistication. Girls donned their near-Vogue hairstyles, penny loafers or pumps and attempted the tuxedo look. When asked her opinion of a perfectly dressed guy. Heather Fitzgerald, sophomore, had the image from head to toe. He should have a short, new wave hairstyle, a tailored oxford with a clean cut crewneck sweater. ‘redtag' Levi's — a little baggy in the butt — and Sperry Topsiders.

Answers varied in cost from clothes, being the least expensive item, to computers, being the most expensive. Stereos were the most popular response, followed closely by bicycles and radio headsets. The reasons for buying items were also diverse. Chris Iverson, an avid piano player, chose to purchase an electric piano after he and a group of friends decided to start a band. Others used their money for pleasure, such as Suzanne Permuth. who went to camp over the summer and Nancy Novak, who went to Texas. Buying expensive items was not unusual among the sophomores. Morten Busklein and Greg Donelle purchased their own waterbeds, Dan Shedlov and Sam Kamens owned computers and Kit Wilson bought a sailboat.

MaryAnn Fest said she enjoyed gym because it was my last class of the day and I got to be with my friends. Math class appealed to Chuck Segelbaum because it was a challenging and a very rowdy class. The fact that teachers were funny and told good stories also made them come out as favorites in the eyes of sophomores. French teacher Anna Motzko spent time telling stories in French, as well as drilling. Dave Litsey. who taught English, made a good impression on sophomores by telling funny jokes and having patience with students when they did things wrong.

Well, here's the answer to all of your problems! An in-depth study was taken to research the social behaviors of sophomores, creating the Sophomore's Guide to a Better Social Life. Step 1) During your open hour, walk over to McDonald's and gorge yourself with Big Macs. Afterwards, get together with your friends, sit down at your favorite locker, and talk constantly for twenty-five minutes. Step 2) After you arrive home, turn on the stereo or watch M'A‘S'Hor television. You can also go to the arcade and play a few games of Pac-Man. Be prepared to fork out quite a few quarters. Step 3) On weekends, you have several choices as to what to busy yourself with. You can go to a basketball game to see and be seen. or you can crash a senior party (Warning: This could prove to be quite dangerous!) Hurry! This guide is not sold in stores.

James A popular extra-curricular activity for the 1982-83 varsity athletic teams was the taping of sophomores to immovable objects. The ritual of taping wasn't new. it had been going on for years. It was begun to welcome the sophomores to the high school as an initiation. Since then, freshmen had moved in. but sophomores were still the ones who were taped the most. Victims were cornered by a half dozen guys and warned not to struggle. Then, starting with the wrists and ankles, they became wrapped with tape. Next, they found themselves stuck to a bench, post or stop sign, unable to move until a Good Samaritan came and cut them loose. According to Andy Barton, sophomore, white athletic tape was used the most, but duct tape was tried, too. Taping's both good and bad.” said Barton. “It's fun and promotes spirit, but sometimes it’s taken too far.” He is probably referring to the time when one unlucky sophomore was left taped up in front of Byerly's. clad only in his underwear. 216 CHATTER Sophomores Get Stoned The Rolling Stones were voted the favorite musical group of the sophomores, with Journey and The Who following close behind as the second and third place acts. Other bands that received sophomoric praise included AC DC, The Clash, Van Halen, .ed Zeppelin, and the Sex °istols. Zucchini Comes Up Short The ‘original” favorite food of sophomores was pizza. Tacos and steak were also highly acclaimed. Awards of honorable mention went to Buddig corned beef, zucchini, mushrooms, liver, meat and potatoes, Mexican bean burritos, TV dinners and cheeseburgers with sour cream. Teaching New Team Old Tricks. Although seniors dominated the athletic scene, the 1982-83 Girls’ Gymnastics Team was headed by two sophomores. Sue Palmersheim and Laura Abramson, sophomore cocaptains, led the squad through floor exercises and stunts on the bars, the rings, and other apparatuses during the winter sports season. Nancy Novak: Tom Selleck or M A S H? Sue Palmersheim: Tricks and Twirls Mark Weigle: Who should’ve won? 3M (M A S H, Magnum, MTV) Sophomores watched the same television shows as everyone else, with M A S H being the clear winner and Magnum P.l.” and the cable TV network MTV” in second and third places. The favorite afternoon programs were Leave It to Beaver,” Get Smart” and Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.” This Is Radio Clash KQRS 92 FM dominated the airwaves of the sophomores’ radios leaving WLOL and Stereo 101 in the dust. Park’s very own KDXL even came off getting a few votes. “Ohmigoddl” The sophomore class used many different expressions, but the most popular were the Valley Girl type words like “totally”, fer sure” and “tubular. The second most popular expression was a smile or a happy face. (A facial expression rather than a saying.) The third place expression, mixed in with lots of unprintable smut, was surely you jest.” The favorite magazine, by a landslide, was Seventeen.” NEXT IN PEOPLE ‘FRESHMEN” FRESHMEN BANWELL ON DEFINED “BUSTED” RAMPAGE IN COMEDY — FOR FRESHMEN MUSICAL POSSESSIONS WATCH OUT Freshmen try to come up with an accurate description of themselves.

GYMNAST DISPLAYS TALENTS FAR BEYOND REGULAR SCHOOL WORK Gymnastics is a sport that is both exciting and artistic. Carrie Swartz, freshman, uses both of these qualities to their fullest. Swartz began her gymnastics career three years ago when her parents urged her to get involved. “I really enjoyed it and decided to stick with it. The summer of 1982 Swartz attended gymnastics camp in Pennsylvania. Her purpose for going was “to improve on just about everything. When she returned she practiced Monday through Friday, six hours a day. When she was twelve Swartz competed nationally, but said of her performance. ... compared to everybody else. I didn't do that great. She also has competed with Minnesota International Gymnastics Association. She finished first in the all-around. Swartz intended to go on with her gymnastics and compete in the college level after she graduates from Park. Unless her feelings toward gymnastics change drastically, we should be hearing a lot about Swartz. i, Carrie Swartz reads up on when she isn't competing. Casey. Jeanne Cass. Pamela Cato.

Wiliam PRIZED POSSESSIONS MAY HOLD KEY TO UNLOCK PUZZLE OF NEWCOMERS FRESHMEN For several years now. those newcomers to the highschool (i.e. the freshmen) have intrigued and puzzled those already established there. A poll distributed to the freshmen attempted to solve this puzzle. Two questions had somewhat parallel answers. These questions. ‘‘What is your most prized possession? and What is the most expensive thing you’ve ever bought? pointed to the assumption that something that held a high price value also held a high personal value, especially if they bought it themselves. Most freshmen found their stereos, bikes, musical instruments or clothes to be their most prized possessions, although it was almost always the girl who valued her designer wardrobe, and the guy who valued his drums or guitar. Other freshmen had more personal or unusual prized possessions. Although she didn’t buy them. Laura Kruckeberg’s most prized possessions were her horses. Jolene Waska could not buy her most prized possession — her boyfriend, and neither could Ann Luster or Jon Fogel. who highly valued their friends. Kris Hofstedt's bowling ball was her most prized possession, even if it wasn’t the most expensive thing that she ever bought. Eric Pratte’s most prized possession was his money or. more specifically, his coin collection. Jody Hayes claimed to spend ten hours a day on her telephone, which she obviously values a lot. Whatever it was. their most prized possessions reflected the personalities of the freshmen and were part of what made them what they were. 224 225 There was a little guy that was a favorite among Park students. He was yellow, round, and had a big mouth; he was Pac-man. Why was Pac-man so popular among freshmen? Maybe because they had so much in common. For starters. Pac-man had to maneuver his way through an intricate maze to finish a board. A freshman also had to go through confusing halls, the never-ending circle and millions of steps to finish the school day. Pac-man loved to eat yellow dots, cherries, strawberries, and apples. And what freshman didn't love to eat? Freshmen's favorites were Italian and Mexican foods; pizza was the first choice. After clearing two game boards. Pac-man took an intermission and chased his four colorful enemies. After finishing a full day. freshmen needed something to get their minds off school. They filled their time with sports, shopping with friends or work. Pac-man and freshmen, they both had a lot in common. The only difference may have been that you didn’t have to pay a quarter to spend time with a freshman. PAC-MEN OR FRESHMEN Knauer. Nancy Knudsen, Barb Knudsen. Kimberly Knutson. Lisa Kochor.

The obvious response would be a person starting his or her first year of high school. Being a freshman means more than just that; it means having more responsibilities. It means moving up to a school where there are people that are older and sometimes being very afraid of them. When freshmen were asked their definition of what a freshman was. their responses varied. Delynn Mulligan described a freshman as someone who gets pushed around, called names, and gets booed. Carole Zegzda defined a freshman as someone who is the little person in school. It’s like when you start out school in kindergarten. Other people had different ideas of what a freshman meant to them. Tova Walder said. It's having more responsibilities. I don’think it means going out and smoking and drinking, it means to just be a regular person. Freshmen had a long way to go to be seniors. Pam Shapiro’s definition of a freshman was.

April 229 AFTER DEALING WITH TEASING FRESHMEN FIND LIFE EASIER HAVING OLDER SIBLINGS Being a freshman was a terrifying experience in itself. Having siblings who were upperclassmen made it tougher for some students. They had to deal with teasing from their sibling's friends and adjusting to a new school. Karl Gahlin. freshman, was embarrassed by his sister Chris Gahlin. senior, and her friend Robin Marcus, senior. Marcus ran up to Karl in the cafeteria and planted a big kiss on his cheek. Karl said. “It will be a lot better when Chris isn’t here. Other freshmen also had embarrassing moments. Karla Johnson, freshman, was stuffed in a garbage can by some of her sister’s friends. The advantages of having an older sibling were also visible. Freshmen found it easier to adjust knowing older students. They felt they had some kind of support, emotional and physical, knowing their older brother or sister would be there when needed. They mainly looked forward to them graduating so they wouldn't have to worry about being teased. Schechter. Michael Schreier. Jennifer Schutman. Mark Schurman. Julie Schweiger. Brenda Selmo.

But there was something about the senior high that provoked people to find themselves and their individuality. A new insight on Park freshmen was found in the freshmen survey, and this insight dealt with the ever present designer labels. Designer labels were less important in the senior high than in the junior high. More people were dressed in all designer clothes at the junior high, according to Sara Spiegel, freshman. There seemed to be no need for them at the senior high. As Julie Selmo and Lori Spiegler pointed out. “We don’t need designer labels. It doesn’t matter what people wear. The majority of freshmen said that their favorite labels were none other than Levi's and Lees; other designers were not quite as popular. Anyway, clothing doesn’t make a person, and Park freshmen knew that. UNIQUENESS, NOT LABELS, DESIRABLE 232 Volk. Micheal Wald. Brenda Watder. Tova Walkowaik, Robert Walters. David Walton.

By passing a test taken in eighth grade, they went down to the U of M campus where, along with other talented students, they were enrolled in an algebra course that covered two years’ work in only one. They went on to take geometry as freshmen. True to the Hues Even though the freshmen already had orange and black as their school colors in the junior high, they found that there was an even stronger identification with these colors at the senior high. They apparently were satisfied with the Oriole colors because five out of six freshmen said that they had no desire to change them. If the hues were to be made different, the colors that were mentioned most often were blue, white, black, red and purple (not in that combination, of course.)

That’s Entertainment As the viewing of movies and television proved to be two of America’s favorite pasttimes, people’s opinions varied. Two of America’s top movies were chosen to be freshmen’s favorites — E.T. and Rocky III. On television, M A S H, in its last season, was the most popular by far, but three other fairly new programs attracted freshmen: Hill Street Blues, Too Close for Comfort and Square Pegs. Square Pegs was a new series about freshmen dealing with their new lives in high school. A Touch of Class Art Cahill and Ken Bom, who both teach Civics, were named as the favorite teachers by the freshmen. Even though some students named no favorite, almost 30 instructors were named.
