The Girls' Basketball team had been in the state tournament for the past three years, the math team had won the state championship for the past three years, and the one-act play won the state championship for the 1986 87 school year Opening l EXCELLENT Where do we go now? Pushing harder, setting new goals, we worked to improve ourselves. As the new school year began we expected more from ourselves as well as from others. We set new limits for ourselves as those of the past were reached and surpassed. Our goal was now to be better than the best. We spent more hours in class. Incoming freshmen were required to take seven classes, rather than six as in the past or to attend a study hall. This involved greater expectations of our teachers too. They worked harder with less free time and taught a wider variety of classes than in the past. Excelling in sports both the St. Louis Park Babe Ruth and American Legion teams won Minnesota State Baseball Championships. Athletic excellence was also demonstrated by the Park representatives in the Special Olympics. Lisa Robinson, senior, won a gold medal in the 300 meter freestyle event and the soccer team took fifth place. On our own we joined the rest of the country in a quest for health and fitness. We wanted our bodies to look and feel better than they ever had in the past. We used exercise, diet, and positive thinking to make us healthier and stronger than ever. Participation wasn't our only involvement in sports. As the Minnesota Twins won the American League Championship and went on to win the World Series, Park students followed their team every step of the way, whether in front of the tv or at the Dome. Our support of the Twins could be seen around school as teachers, students, and staff decorated the halls and classrooms with “win Twins memorabilia and posters. Students and faculty alike wore sweatshirts, T-shirts, and baseball hats while waving their Homer Hankies as the Twins won the World Championship.

We chose jobs that would help us gain knowledge and experience. Jobs ranging from fast-food restaurants to modeling, helped us become more responsible and aware of the world around us. Trying to broaden our perspectives was also one of our objectives. Whether we spent our free time inquiring, performing, or competing we were attempting to make our- Strong hitting by players like Dan Vice helped lead the Babe Ruth team on to yet selves oustanding in our fields. St. Louis Park High School was named a National School of Excellence and was presented with the award by Minnesota Senator Dave Durenberger at a special assembly. It was no longer a question of being one of the best, but how to become better. As we reached and surpassed old goals we set new higher ones. We struggled to overcome all obstacles as we tried to move past perfect. another victory which eventuallly resulted in the state championship. Support of the World Champion Twins was seen throughout school. Health conscious Leslie Beha chooses an apple over Guy Leeder's cake. Opening 5 6 Student Life PAST PERFECT Being the best that we could be wasn't restricted to the classroom. We attempted to be a notch above the rest in our daily activities as well. We had a variety of ways to fill our free time, both in and out of school; we always faced new challenges. Activities and clubs helped us to express ourselves, to develop ourselves in creative ways. We learned responsibility as we took on leadership roles in organizations such as AFDA. Student Council, and International Club. By promoting causes in clubs like SADD we educated ourselves as we helped others. Performing in music groups and plays entertained others while developing our skills in the Arts. Participating in Chess Club or Ski Club gave us activities that could last us a lifetime. Whether our interests drew us to the fall musical Oklahoma, or one of the numerous Homecoming activities we gave it our best effort. Sometimes friendships were born that lasted through the activity and beyond. When we became Park Singers or Quiz Bowl members we met and got to know a variety of people. Being part of the same group, having similar interests gave us common goals we might never have realized if we hadn’t “joined up. Just as we tried to better ourselves as individuals, we worked to perfect the groups we loved. The Parkettes attended summer camps as did Echo, Echowan, and Mandala staffs. Many of us skipped meals, had late nights, developed sore muscles, or suffered through long practices, but it was worth the extra effort. Our high standards carried through to our activities as we tried to reach past previous achievements. Past Perfect. STUDENT LIFE Motivating the crowd, the cheerleaders lead the class yell at a pepfest. Making the effort to get the most out of our time Summertime, and the livin' was easy. Summer was a time to catch up on all the sleep and spare time that we had missed during the school year. We took full advantage of our three months of sunny weather. Cruising around the lakes, playing miniature golf, going to drive-in-movies, or tubing down the Apple River were some of the things we could only do in the summer months. Many of us spent time away from home either at our cabins or traveling to new places. From as far away as Europe and Israel or as close to home as the Boundary Waters Canoe Area we sought new adventures. Jobs were an important part of the summer. But. sometimes work became more important than play. “I got so many extra hours at work, that I felt like I didn't have time for anything else, said Dan Israel, senior. Although jobs were time-consuming, they allowed us to grow and mature, as well as make money. Our money was saved for college, a new car, a stereo or just spending money. When not at work we found time to be with our friends. Whether we were at the lakes working on our tans or at the Dome cheering on the Twins we were free of “Summer was fun, but there was so little time and so many men, especially at the lakes.” — Wendy Krupp school pressures. Our biggest worry was trying to figure out how to get everything into those three short months. To get it all in. most of us took up the late night habit: staying up until David Letterman was over and sleeping till noon. Soap operas once again became a high priority. At least that was before Oliver North and the Iran Contra Hearings took over daytime television. Ollie North and Tammy and Jim Baker were a few of the summertime media figures who quickly went from national heroes to the butt of jokes. Locally, the summer will always be re- membered as the year of the big flood. In July, Minnesota had the largest rainfall ever recorded. We spent days bailing out our basements and cars. We can still recall what our yards and homes looked like under water. The flooded streets caused many to end up spending the night in unexpected places. Some spent the night at their desks or in their cars, while others, more fortunate, were able to get out of work the next day. Since we started school after Labor Day, we had an extra week to finish perfecting our tans. Summer was fun. but there was so little time and so many men, especially at the lakes. commented Wendy Krupp. senior. We also used the extra week to prepare for school. Buying notebooks and pencils, getting our hair cut. and shopping for fall clothes were some of the things crammed into the remaining week of summer. Although we wouldn't admit it, we were ready to go back to school. Seeing everyone we had missed during the summer made up for getting up at six a.m. again. We went back to school satisfied that we had made the most of our three short months of freedom.

Starting over again but with more than before That's what it seemed as though we all did this year. We started over and all tried to make this year our best We welcomed the teachers back by giving them carnations in vases on the morning of the first day of school, said Tracy Fischman, senior. This was the first year Student Council delivered the flowers in vases to the teachers' rooms and they hoped that it helped start the year on a positive note. With all the excitement of school starting and homework rollin' in it was time to have school pictures taken. On the second day of school the freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and faculty took a short break to go down to the auditorium and smile big. He sure knew how to make you grin. laughed Ferda Olson, secretary. He said men' to the student ahead of me. but when I sat down he said 'paycheck.' Boy did that make me smile. Everyone wanted things to be just right all year long, and part of that meant changing schedules to fit individual needs Many students felt their classes weren't helping them expand their limits. I “When I sat down he said, ‘paycheck’. Boy did that make me smile.” — Ferda Olson dropped Informal Geometry to take Formal Geometry, because I felt I needed more of a challenge. stated Kathryn Jacobs, junior. When I decided to change my schedule, I had to wait a week before I could get an appointment to see my counselor. said Jennifer Peacock, senior. It took a lot of time but the results were good ones. Since I am looking into business as a career. I decided to drop my second gym class and take typing, said Andrew Johnson, sophomore. Along with starting over came decorating lockers again. It took me 20 minutes to put contact paper and pictures up in my locker. I like to decorate my locker because it makes it more cheerful and colorful, said Michelle Neeley, senior. After school started, studying took a large part of students' time. Whether it was in a library, the career center, the lunchroom or by their lockers, homework had to be done. Preceeding the task of studying was the task of finding lockers and classrooms for freshmen. I didn't find my locker until after third hour on the first day of school, sighed Mike Anderson, freshman. Freshmen weren’t the only ones seeking lockers and classrooms looking bewildered. New and foreign students were welcomed by teachers and students. Students came from as far away as Iran and New York There were roughly 120 new students in the district. These are students who have never attended a St Louis Park school, stated Marilyn Nelson, secretary. The beginning of school rushed in and once it all started, it took full charge. We needed patience and determination to make it through the week. When it was over, we felt exhausted but ready to go. School was on again. 12 Starling School Let me show you. New students.

Homecoming ... the most (unfilled, competitive, suspenseful. and crazy week of the school year. So much to cram into five days. This activity-loaded week began with the volleyball tournament. Teams strove to be able to compete in the championships Friday night. This year it was harder though because of newly made rules. Boys could not spike and a girl team member had to hit the ball before it went back to the opponent. By Friday night the winners were named Seniors Michele Skaug. Scott Unze. Janelle Winters. David Hreno. and Jason Glashan worked hard for the win Instead of Orange Crush and Oreos. the victors received $5 00 gift certificates to Herman's Sports store. Ready, set. go! The tricycle races were next. There were two to a team, one on the tricycle and one to push. This was so the tricycles wouldn't break. Down the runway they went tipping and turning. Then the final heat came and the winners were announced. Seniors Ron Heath and Marnie Fest crossed the finish line first. Next on the agenda was the always infamous pie-eating contest. Teams impatiently waited to sink their teeth (and faces) into their pies Chocolate, banana. “I had to wash my hair 3 times before the pie would come out of my hair.” — Patty Boyer and whipped cream flew everywhere. Patty Boyer, senior, stated. “I had to shower 3 times before the pie would come out of my hair. Teams were timed in order to produce the winners. A record 6 seconds was recorded by the team Safety First, which consisted of seniors Blake Claflin, Bruce Dunham. Steve Hanson. Jason Lynum. and Tony Schuetz. Then people went home, showered 3 times, and waited in anticipation for the next day's events. Finally, it arrived! Coronation, the suspenseful evening when the king and queen of St Louis Park High are crowned The ceremony began with Steve Hanson and Kim Horge. host and hostess. entering first and taking their places at the podium to announce the members of the court Pairs of Lords and Ladies filed in and lined the white runway that led to the royal throne. Full of anxiety, the King and Oueen candidates walked down the aisle. Then the anticipated moment — the crowning of royalty. Last year's queen Megan Hunt did the honors. Within minutes Ernest Thomas was crowned the new King and Carla Swartz the new Oueen. Though the crowd went home, the night had barely begun for the participants in the coronation ceremony. They had dinner awaiting them at the Minneapolis Golf Club where they continued their celebration. After dinner, the royalty did their final celebrating at senior Barak Bar-Cohen's house, where a band played favorite songs and people danced Then as the night progressed many of the people went home happily fatigued from the day's events. Thursday morning would come soon and with it the next funfilled and exhausting day of Homecoming. 14 Homecoming As other students look on, Michael Haeger, serves the ball to try to rack up points for his volleyball team Monday night.

Another student, Wendy Krupp, senior said. Leslie Deblock, was my favorite because she did a really good job of imitating Tammy Faye Baker and because her makeup resembled Tammy's really well. The excitement of the week came to a conclusion at the football game and the dance afterwards. But with the cold temperatures the game was put on ice in more than one way. Many students who had braved the cold gave up at half time to find a warmer environment This year’s slogan, “Devour the Spartans,’’ didn’t quite work as Richfield beat the Orioles 21 -7. Park's only score of the game came in the first half with Ron Heath, senior scoring on a 17 yard run for the first points of the game This left many Park fans hopeful for a homecoming game victory There was another outstanding player according to most of his teammates. Brad Lecombe. senior, who made 28 tackles breaking the school record. Dan Thurston, junior, summed the game up by saying. Our problem came when we gave up the one long run to Richfield which gave them the momentum to pull ahead of us and win the game. This year's dance was a masquerade affair According to Scott Unze. senior. There weren't a lot of people dressed up. but there were a lot of people at the dance. The WLOL Sound and Light Show provided the music at the dance. Many people commented that the music could have been better but the dancing was still good. And with the dance ended. Homecoming was over for another year. It was a fun filled week of activities and now it was only history. Offering a final comment. Kari Buttrey. senior said. It was an exhausting. but great week.

It's not easy to achieve. You usually encounter many hardships along the way, although hardships can make for a rewarding end. The first hardship for the fall play members was tryouts. September 14-16 were long, nerve-racking days for many. Monday was dancing tryouts. Those trying out didn't get a chance to practice and perfect their routines. They were taught a step in a short period of time and had to perform it right then. Tuesday was singing tryouts. Candidates picked their own songs, preferably from a musical. Wednesday performers read from a script and acted. Thursday was callbacks, and finally, during last hour on Friday, they found out whether they had made it or not, For those who did make it. they had a lot of hard work and dedication to put forth for the next two months. Practices began right away, for three hours a day. five days a week, not including the hours spent memorizing lines at home. Practices played with emotions a lot,” stated Jennifer Coleman, senior. Sometimes they were frusturating. You were challenged with new things, trying to make them perfect. Lots of respon- sibility was involved. Other times were “I tried to take the audience on a ride with me into a different world. The empathy was an incredible feeling.” — Sara Tobin just fun. The cast members became close and really enjoyed working together. Everyone looked forward to cast parties. For the first time in years, the director was not a teacher in the high school. Michael Lane, a recent University graduate. directed his first Park production. Also, he had the 16 piece Community Band play the music. This was the first time for a large community group to work for the high school theatre department. The musical OKLAHOMA! which takes place in the territory of Oklahoma before it became a state, is in short, a love story. Curley (Rob Kneisl) and Laurie (Sara Tobin) want to get married, but Jud (Scott Otto) is in the way. Meanwhile. Will (Dan Biros) is trying to meet Ado Annie's (Doi Eder's) father's requirements so as to wir her hand in marriage too. The feeling of performing in front of ai audience was exhilarating. according t Tobin, sophomore. I tried to take th« audience on a ride with me into a differer world. The empathy was an incredibl feeling. Joel Lovrencevic, sophomon described it as scary and exciting in tha you feel on top of the world after if done. That feeling of being on top of the work I inspired many to try to continue in th .• field of theatre. Kneisl. senior said. 'Tr� sure acting and singing is in my futun somewhere. The fusion between the community and the high school made the musical a success, stated Josh Zuckerman. junior OKLAHOMA! was a cute story. It's always fun to recognize the people in the cast. stated Alison Davis, senior. Cast member Katie Cronquist. junior said. We think the play was a success because we all did the best we could do. The future will hold many memories of the play. The long hours, the friendships and the striving for success all brought OKLAHOMA! to life. Kansas City Is up to date according to Dan Biros (Will Parker) He tells Eric GokJIust. Chad Cardiff. Tim Barton. Dave Schultz. Bob Cheney.

There were so many things we wanted to try; so many things we had to get done. We crammed every moment as full as we could and we still couldn't accomplish as much as we wanted to. Homework was usually the top priority item. We had to make sure our assignment was done for calculus and that our paper was ready for composition class. And just when we thought we were caught up with studying, a big test was announced in history class and we still had 75 more pages to read. It seemed like I could never catch up. As soon as I finished one thing, there were five more to get started on. commented senior Susie Kuretsky. If we ever reached the end of the paper chase, we still had lots of things that demanded our attention We sought jobs, working many after school and evening hours in pursuit of the dollars we needed to get that tuxedo for prom, that perfect pair of earrings, or that necessary tank of gas. Often we rushed to these jobs still dressed in our practice clothes since we “As soon as I finished one thing, there were five more to get started on. — Susie Kuretsky wanted to be involved in activities, too. It was important for our sense of school spirit to join an organization, to be in a play, to keep playing in Pep Band. We tried to get as much practice time in as we could. Tracy Fischman. senior, practiced for track during her open hour on many ocasions because she had to schedule doctor and dentist appointments after school. Some of us attempted to use early morning hours to our advantage. We went jogging as early as six a.m in order to get exercise time in. The workouts perked us up for the day ahead as well. Everything took time and many days there just wasn't enough of that. So we cut corners. We dashed madly from one thing to the next, sometimes taking time to eat. sometimes not. Senior Ross Fredenberg commented. Between school, football, work and homework, it was really hard to find the time to sit down and have a family meal. Many of us compensated for this by grabbing a candy bar or a doughnut and eating it on the way to class. One thing we worked hard to keep in our schedule was our friends. Maintaining our social contacts was relaxing and enjoyable. But a good friend was often needed when we had to talk to somebody, to cry on a shoulder or just share a joke that only a special friend could understand. When things are going bad. friends help you to see the bright side. said Betsy Wilson, junior. They remind you of positive things coming up in the future. We wanted it all. every experience We tried every way possible to get it. Jenni Batteen, senior, stated. Sometimes I stayed up until three a m. studying for a test because I had gone to a basketball game earlier. We wanted it all and we believed we could have it ... if only we didn't have to sleep.

How do you dress? For years the Sadie tradition of dressing had continued. The fashion of Sadie-goers was that which you used to see on the Beverly Hillbillies. Senior Ed Olson said. You sort of dress like a hick for fun and to be different Sophomore. Nicole Bloom stated. You dress country style because it's part of the Sadie atmosphere. The main types of clothing were usually a pair of old scrawny jeans, a flannel shirt, and to top it off. the traditional cowboy hat for the guys Most of the girls wore mini-skirts with frayed edges, flannel shirts that matched the guys', and garter belts which were given to the guy after the dance ended The tradition other than dressing was the girls treating the guy to a dinner of his choice The girls chose mostly expensive places, such as. Lee Ann Chins. Samauri. Red Lobster, and the Cattle Company. The girls brought their guys to such places to impress them, especially if it was their first night out. After dinner, it was onto a night of fun and dancing, with the facilities. The facilities were. The WLOL Sound and Light Show, which featured the radio person- “The jail is the best because you get a kiss from your date!” — J.C. Hammond ality Denny Schaefer. There was a variety of music, slow and fast. The couples enjoyed the Sound and Light Show, there were prizes given out to the most romantic couple. The prizes were either cassette tapes or albums of everybody's favorite rock singer. Fortune telling, featured three seniors. Stephanie Sigelman. Leslie Deblock, and Patty Boyer. They told fortunes of love, money, marriage, children, and life. The couples enjoyed the booth. Cindy Iverson junior says, The booths of Sadie adds something different. You can participate in more activities. It makes the whole evening more exciting' The main attraction for the guys was the jail, J.C. Hammond, junior said. The jail is the best because you get a kiss from your date! Throughout the evening guys were either put into jail by the sheriffs. or they put themselves in just to get a kiss. The general store was also an attraction. students went there to buy refreshments after dancing a while. The refreshments consisted of many varieties of pop. plus a large assortment of candy. Carnations were also being sold at the general store, but this time the guy paid the bill After dancing and having fun. it was time to learn who the Sadie King and Queen. Also, who had won the winner of the bubble gum contest The King and Queen of Sadie were Lisa Baumann, junior. and Mark Hawkins, senior The winner of the bubble gum contest was senior. Chris Roe Before the night was over the couples had their pictures taken sitting on blanket in a hayloft. It was to be a keep sake for both the girl and the guy Junior. Jennifer Dols. said.

That was what a lot of us did. This year, however, we had many students who enjoyed the small things we didn't always notice. Senior Van Tran moved here from Vietnam almost eight years ago. In those years she enjoyed much about St. Louis Park. But of all the plusses, Tran most liked the freedom and the right to do whatever I want. Another student agreed with her. Jam-shid Mahmoodi. senior, came to Park after he left his home country of Iran a year and half ago. Mahmoodi also enjoyed the freedom. and added that he liked having many new friends from everywhere. He also said that he liked our school system much better than Iran's. Iran's school system was much harder, but there is more variety here. One of the best things here was the girls. said Senior Spanish exchange student. Sergio Fuchs. Fuchs, who was here all year, said that he enjoyed the differences between Spain and the United States very much. He liked being able to experience American music and leisure time activities. He also had a good time getting lost for two and a half hours in a car with five other people. Of all the things liked by Park's foreign students, the people ranked the highest. “People of all ages could wear every kind of clothes without being noticed.” — Agnes Toth Caroline Piraud. senior Swiss foreign exchange student, said she enjoyed the fact that teachers were students' friends. Israeli student, junior Tal Weissman. commented that he enjoyed the people s kindness. While students liked Park a great deal they found many things to wonder about. Romanian student, Senior Agnes Toth, said she thought it was weird that people of all ages could wear every kind of clothes without being noticed. Different clothing and experiences made Park a bundle of laughs for students. Piraud said her funniest experience was asking a guy to Sadie Hawkins. Now that I've survived the first time ask- ing out a guy. I wish Sadie Hawkins would be more than one time a year. said Piraud. Seeing snow for the first time was a funny experience for Tran. Vietnam doesn't get snow in the winter, so seeing snow for the first time at nine years old was was one of the most unusual experiences Tran could remember. New foods also brought humorous experiences which were shared by all this year Weissman. thought it funny the amount of ice you got with a coke. He thought it was just too obvious that they were trying to make him pay more money for less coke. Another food anecdote was shared by Mahmoodi. He ordered a salad in the school cafeteria, but didn't get quite what he had expected. He got something that looked appetizing, but in the end it didn't satisfy his tastebuds. He said it didn't taste good at first because he hadn't tasted it before. Things did change though. Mahmoodi tried the salads again and decided that he really did like them. The small things were definitely appreciated a great deal this year. We all learned a lot from our foreign students and we hoped that they could learn a lot from us.

Grose finally got the weight up. his maximum. and sat up with a smile. He was typical of many people who put in hours of sweat and pain, training on their own for their sports and activities, all of it necessary for success. A starter on the football team since his sophmore year. Grose was voted one of the top 100 players in the metro area at the beginning of the 1987 season. He had dreams of playing Division I football in a few years. To reach that dream Grose used the off-season to train, mainly by weight lifting which he felt helped to give him strength and bulk and conditioned and toned muscles. He said. I got started in sixth grade when my uncle gave me a pair of dumbells. Grose added that It got discouraging sometimes because I plateaued and didn't gain anything. Although football was Grose's first love, he also ran track, in part, to help train for football. Football camps such as the one held at North Dakota State were part of his summers too. To keep up my diving I always have to strive to be better. Staci Thayer Another person who trained in the offseason was senior Staci Thayer, one of the top divers on the girls’ swim team. Because all of the good diving camps were out of state and very expensive, her coach suggested training in the Minnesota area. Thayer worked throughout the summer with her coach. Al Hudacek. She practiced diving at the Minneapolis Golf Club each morning and at the St. Louis Park Recreation Center each afternoon. Thayer agreed with Grose that summer training, helped me to stay in shape and to keep up my ability for the season, but she also believed training could be discouraging when I chicken out on a dive or did a belly flop . Thayer said she was hoping to dive in the future and training during the summer helped to enhance that plan. To keep up my diving I always have to strive to be better. It wasn't only athletes who trained in the off-season. Sophomore Valerie Beugen worked throughout the summer to keep up her cheerleading skills, doing gymnastics and aerobics. It improved my flexibility and endurance and it helped me to make the team this year, she said. Like Grose and Thayer, she sometimes got discouraged with training all year long, but she said. It's all worth it because I love cheerleading. Beugen was a varsity tennis player as well as a cheerleader. Her sister. Vicki, who graduated from Park, got her started in tennis. Beugen went to tennis camp and she went to lessons at Northwest Club this summer to help sharpen her tennis skills. These three were just a few of the many Park students found that to acheive their goals and potentials, off-season sports and training were necessary. It was the only way to go. even if it always meant pushing it . 26 Out of schoot sports Psyching himself up. Chad Goldstien gets ready to perform a difficult lift.

Many students just stayed in Minnesota and enjoyed the time off. Other students took advantage of the time to take trips to a variety of places. Senior Jason Lynum drove to Utah with a friend from Eagan for Spring Break. While in Utah, Lynum did a lot of skiing. There was a lot of good snow so it made for some awesome skiing, Lynum said. Lynum and his friend stayed there for a week and then flew to Sanibel Island in Florida to meet Lynum’s parents. They sat on the beach, went swimming, and tried deep sea fishing and jet skiing for the first time. But Lynum thought that the best things by far for him in Sanibel were the sun and the women. Junior Chris Gullifer spent a week in California visiting his grandparents over Winter Break. I always enjoy visiting my grandparents. Gullifer stated, because it gives me a chance to see them and at the same time get away from the cold Minnesota weather. While in California Gullifer had the opportunity to go skiing at Lake Tahoe. I was lucky to get to ski for my first time at one of the best ski resorts in the country. Sophomore David Coombs also went to visit relatives over Winter Break. He went I always enjoy visiting my grandparents, because it gives me a chance to see them and at the same time get away from the cold Minnesota weather. — Chris Gullifer to Orlando. Florida, to visit his mother. Coombs, who said he really enjoyed the warm weather, didn't go to any beaches because they were too far away, but he did a lot of sightseeing. He said that the best part was spending time with his mother. I had lots of fun with my mom and we had a lot to talk about because I don’t get to see her very much. Sophomore Dan Pecoraro went to Florida for five days during Winter Break too. He travelled with his family to visit his grandparents Pecorarco said of the trip, We basically just sat around the pool and ate a lot, . He said he mostly liked the trip because it was a fun and relaxing time away from home. Some trips combined learning with a change of place. Judy Gelfman. junior, was one of a number of Park students who went to the Middle East during Spring Break. Although a trip of such length required that Gelfman miss a week of classes, she felt it was definitely worth it! Other trips were taken purely for fun. Senior Jennifer Longstaff went to Cancun, Mexico, with several friends for Spring Break. They enjoyed the sun in the daytime and all the nightlife Cancun had to offer. It was great to be away in such a beautiful place with your friends and be totally on your own. Longstaff stated. Junior Jodi Dubish agreed with Longstaff. It was nice to get away from the hectic life at home, including our parents. Being on our own with no obligations was great.” Dubish and a group of friends went to Mazatlan, Mexico, for Spring Break. They spent time shopping, swimming and as Dubish added, soaking up the sun and enjoying the beach life. Many students took advantage of their time off during Winter Break and Spring Break to do some travelling and sight seeing. The concensus was that no matter where they went, they all had fun. Wintef Spftng Break 29 Aladdin, Dan Biros, begs for a rose from the beautiful princess. Carla Schwartz when she slops her carnage in the road. Winter plays offer variety of settings, role, styles, and What do Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp and Murders in the Rue Morgue have in common? Almost nothing, actually, except that they were this year's Winter Plays. This contrast was partly due to the fact that the plays were originally chosen for different reasons, the reasons for performing each of them. Aladdin was chosen for its active qual-ties. The main shows for Aladdin were performed for young children as the play toured the elementary schools of the district. Diane Lorencevik, who helped with all aspects of the play, said, We wanted to find a play that had a high energy level in order to keep the young kids' attention. On the other hand, Murders, an adapted form of Edgar Allen Poe's short story, was geared toward more mature audiences. since it was the play that was entered in the state one act play competition. Murders in the Rue Morgue is a heavier, more gothic play. said Jenny Coleman, senior who played Mile. DuVal in Murders. The purpose of Murders is to provide something new and fresh to the one act play. — Jenny Coleman The most commonly voiced advantage to the competitive play was that this type performance brought the cast and crew closer together. Michele Angier, junior, who was in Aladdin but had worked on the competition play last year, stated, You get a real sense of togetherness because of the limited number of actors and crew members. According to league rules, each one act play was allowed 9 cast members and 6 crew members. These actors felt any non competitive play did not have as much as a sense of togetherness because there could be so many people involved in the production, on and off the stage. Angier stated. Part of the problem too was that the cast and crew members wouldn't have the common goal of winning; they would just work to have a good performance. However. Angier added that she thought the noncompetitive play was good because the attitude toward it was more relaxed. In either type. The biggest drawback was that the plays were so time consuming, said Amy Durand, junior, who played Wazier in Aladdin and also had worked on last year's play. Members of the Aladdin cast and crew had many after school practices, as well as performances for children at other schools. The production of Murders was also time consuming. These actors and crew members added in several performances to their evening ones as well. They also performed at the competition where they placed 4th in regionals. Both positive and negative factors contributed to the over all acting experience. Becca Starr, junior, said, I thought they did a good job of creating the mood of the plays. The feeling of suspense in Murders was really strong.” 30 Winter Play Th® Sailor, Dan ros, haltingly tells detectives, Josh Zuckerman and John Schottenbauer. the tale of two women and the orangutan who murdered them.

What is this word that strikes terror into •he hearts of so many high school students? COLLEGE ...! And the first bridges that had to be crossed to get into most colleges were the entrance exams, beginning with the PSAT, usually taken in the eleventh grade Many felt that this was the easiest exam they tried The PSAT'S were taken for a variety of reasons Some people's parents forced them to take them, some took them solely :o get out of school for a few hours, and some were too scared not to take them The majority of students however, had serious purposes Steve White, junior, said that he took them to give me an idea of what my SAT's might be like.” Because they caused such fear, many people prepared for the PSAT's in one way or another Jackie Haider, senior, took a preparatory course for the PSAT offered at school She said that ... it helped me make better guesses, but it didn't teach me anything new Robb Stolz. senior, was another stu- I figured that what I had learned in class would have to be sufficient preparation. Paul Steege dent who took a preparatory course for the PSAT Stolz who said he was forced into it by parents thought that the course taught him how to save time To him. this was unnecessary because he ended up with a lot of time left after the test, but still didn't do as well as he wanted to. What Stolz thought did help him though was taking practice tests, and the computer programs to help with the PSAT available in the Career Center. Many Minnesota colleges required only the PSAT or the SAT for admission, but out of state colleges, students found, re quired the more difficult ACT and ACH tests. How did students prepare for these most difficult of tests7 Some students thought it was not worth it to try There was no possible way to study for everything m the test I figured that what I had learned in class would have to be sufficient. said Paul Steege. senior Stolz added that as a result of their greater specificity, the ACH tests presented me with the most difficulty He felt that the SAT's. on the other hand, were very general tests because neither the verbal nor the math section called for much detail. The test that most students felt was the hardest was the ACH test Mark Paulsen, senior, believed he did poorest on his Chemistry ACH test, which he took be cause the college he applied to recommended it He thought it was difficult be cause nothing I learned in chemistry in school was on it.” Even so. Paul Peterson, counselor, said that in his years of experience, a good, old-fashioned education was the best way to prepare for all college exams. So. juniors and seniors, fear not this time honored method for determining your future. If you don't want to take the tests, you can always learn to drive a truck for a living.

So I decided to take his advice and sit back and observe Monday morning there was actually snow on the ground, unlike the past few years. People came in wearing stuff like sweats, tennies. wake-up hair styles and even pajamas They actually looked pretty comfy. I thought it would be nice to get up one morning and walk out the door as is . Hat day didn't require much dressing up. although some people really caught my eye. I saw one person dressed up in green wearing a frog on her head. Another had on my all time favorite, a Santa Bear hat. They were just a couple of the many students who hatted up.

Why? Well, it was not because their parents forced them to work. Lisa Sletten, junior, said. “My parents think that it's my responsibility to do my work, so they don't bother me about it. Generally, students did homework because their teachers said they had to do it. A common thought, expressed by Jean Evensen, senior, was. I have only five more months of this left. Students tried to lessen the pain of doing homework in various ways. The most common way was to pick a comfortable place, like a couch, bed or the floor on which to work Evenson said. I can't concentrate at a desk. Other ways of reducing homework pains were listening to music, watching T V., and eating These methods only helped a little, though. Students still had to deal with the horror of acute boredom and. even worse, in- tense despair of ever finishing the job As Homework is like mowing the lawn; just when you finish, you have to do it all over again. Dan Fox Dan Fox. junior, said. Homework is like mowing the lawn; just when you finish, you have to do it all over again. This seemed to be a popular thought Students like Fox felt that doing home work was a waste of time They said it was stupid to keep doing the work be cause you never finish! It just keeps coming like a giant wave. as Sletten remarked Evensen made a different comparison. She said. Homework is like sitting around the house watching the paint peel off the wall. Fields, however, found a postitive side to doing homework. She thought that. Doing homework is like dieting; it's a pain while you're doing it but when you're finished, you feel really satisfied with your effort. People seemed to equate homework with bad experiences Many of these experiences involved teachers and late assignments. Sletten thought the worst problem she had with late assignments was that teachers always gave her one of those typical teacher looks. Evensen. on the other hand, had more anxious moments worrying about what could have happened She thought What if I fail? What if the teacher starts to hate me? The reason why most of these students had terrible experiences was procrastination. A lot of procastination. Fields, said. I always seemed to let my homework go until the night before it was due. Then I had to stay up all night to try to finish it. Other students had the same problem; they were not prepared because they just “had better things to do. With all these problems, it was no wonder that students thought that homework was a pure torture , a terror , insanity , or a demonic creation . They learned to deal with the situation, though. They did so by offsetting the torture with parties, games, movies, shopping, sleeping. and many other tension relieving pastimes. 38 Homework Privacy is a key element to studying for nick Bern-stem He finds that he gets more done away from the distractions around school Two heads are better than one when studying algebra.

Bagley piece titled National Emblem ” One of the Winter Concert songs entitled Concerto for Trombone and Band was a difficult piece with several trom bone solos written especially for the first seat player. Paul Steege. senior. After the performance the band received a stand •ng ovation for their effort. Concert Band also had a difference from many other high school bands It was so large it had to be split into two different classes which met at different hours of the school day. Thus preparing for the concerts was difficult. Because of this separation, three days before the major concerts Ihe band had both classes join together for full rehearsal prior to the performance. This just allows the students to become more accustomed to the others members and the different sounds of the full band. said Strickland Size isn't everything though because it was the individual efforts that made it work We all had to practice outside of class if we wanted to be any good. said Jason Johnson, senior Although the students were not required to practice outside of school, many agreed with Johnson that it made things go much smoother in class.

We knew it was all in good fun. said freshman Shayna Krupp. We didn't get seriously upset. Fun was the major purpose for and the major source of controversy about pepfests. I always had so much fun at pepfests. there really should have been more of them, said sophomore Carrie Dominise. Actually. countered Principal Francis Crisman. We only eliminated one. Cris-man also added that aside from the first pepfest that had been eliminated, he usually granted them when they were requested. He added. I had very good feelings about pepfests and I encourage that kind of activity when they are presented in good taste. One of the highlights of this year's pepfests was the Varsity Show. Here the seniors entertained everyone by putting on their own version of Hollywood Squares. That was a big hit with junior Michelle Sud. It was very entertaining to watch. she said. Agreeing. Junior David Jones commented that. It was neat to I always had so much fun at pepfests, there really should have been more of them. — Carrie Dominise see my friends up there performing for the school. Something different appealed to everyone about pepfests. Jones thought that his favorite thing about pepfests was watching the cheerleaders get up and jam. The cheerleaders got everyone involved with the class yell and all the other cheers they led. said Jones, They got everyone's spirit up. Pepfests also created a rare opportunity for the students to spend time with their whole class. I liked the seating arrangement at pepfests,” said Amy Schmidtbauer. sophomore. That way I got to see people in my grade that I otherwise barely ever saw during school because our schedules aren’t the same. Pepfests provoked a needed spark for school spirit, too. If I went to a pepfest and everyone was really enthusiastic. I would go to the game and the dance afterward, said Dominise. Schmidtbauer agreed with her. saying. It really gave me a good feeling to see my school pull together; it made me proud to say that I went to Park. Having the opportunity to choose whether or not to attend pepfests made Jones feel independent. “Even though I usually went to all the pepfests. having the choice was great. Sud agreed. We weren't forced to go to the pepfests so that made in all the more enjoyable when we went! Crisman also supported this policy, but felt very strongly that people should attend the pepfests or not attend at all. They should not just hang around the gymnasium. Pepfests seemed to do the job they were intended to do; they lifted school spirits and encouraged people to attend school activities. Sud summed it up by saying, Pepfests made me feel really good about the school I went to and the people involved with it.

Marc Hodroll filled activities generated by use of additional programs In daily activities we often lost sight of things to be proud of, said Diane Lorencevic, who chaired the third annual Pride Week at the high school. Pride Week was the time to take a look at the good things in the school. One good thing was the Food Drive sponsored by Park's publications. In its third year, the drive was a continuing sucess, raising $652.50 in cash for STEP and 6.122 points worth of cans for the Sumner Olson residence, because the publications could reach people according to Sharon Warner. Echowan advisor. Senior Valerie Parker thought that the Food Drive was a good thing to be included in Pride Week activities because People liked helping others who needed the help. It was for a good cause. According to Warner, the drive is held in February because of the greater need for the donations during the winter. This year some high priority items were sought for collection by the Food Drive, including high protein items like peanut butter, tuna, and Spam. Baby supplies were also a high priority item due to the higher number of children on welfare. Another good cause was the return of the staff serving students at the ice cream social. Scott Buckstein, junior, thought it was the best part of Pride Week, but that a little more ice cream would have been ‘‘Staff greetings were rewarding — the students were pleasantly surprised. — Ray Brozovich better. According to Lorencevic. Students and staff seemed to enjoy it a lot. Another returning activity had students greeted at the door each morning by the staff. Ray Brozovich. biology teacher, said that the greetings were rewarding — the students were pleasantly surprised to be greeted nicely. On Thursday, the students received kisses — Hershey's kisses, that is — with their greeting. Pride Week also featured some new activities this year, like the Navy Band concert. The band played favorites like the Beatles' Twist and Shout and new songs like George Michaels Faith . Commenting on the performance. Buckstein said. It was cool. I thought it was going to be boring, but it was fun to see Crisman out there dancing along with the students. As another way to show their pride, staff members wore their black School of Excellence t-shirts on Thursday. Other features were a student staff trivia contest, luncheon treats and secret pals for the staff. For the first time. Pride Week was also promoted as a community venture. Among other things, there was a display of artwork from Park's schools and Senior Center at Knollwood Plaza which carried the theme St. Louis Park — in a class by itself . The high school Jazztet was one of the featured musical groups accompanying the display. Though Pride Week was something for students to participate in. according to Joel Tidd-Dickhausen, freshman, more activities started by students should be added Buckstein. too. thought students should participate more, It’s supposed to bring students and staff closer together, so students should go out and help to provide good time during Pride Week. Pride Week 45 Students find much self-satisfaction; volunteering brings Teenagers today Only doing things tor others if some kind of reward is involved for them Right? Not at all! Some teenagers actually volunteered to work without getting any pay and they enjoyed it. Lisa Leonard, junior, volunteered at Methodist Hospital in pediatrics. There she would play with the sick children and try to organize activites that took the kids' minds off their illnesses. She felt that it built her self esteem to be helping others. Michelle Rodgers was a junior who worked at Westwood Health Care Center for the Elderly, keeping people company. She found it to be very satisfying making her feel great about what she was doing. One of my duties at the home was to entertain the residents with a dog that lived at the nursing home. I would walk it to their room and they loved to pet it and play games with it. said Rodgers. Not getting a salary, yet helping out of one's own free will brought rewards that the volunteers thought more of than money. Not getting paid really wasn't an issue, said Leonard. Seeing the kids smiling faces was rewarding enough. Nancy McBride, junior, who helped out the homeless by distributing food at a Seeing the kid’s smiling faces was rewarding enough. Lisa Leonard shelter said the fact that she didn't get paid didn't bother her either. I knew that what I was doing helped someone, and that made me feel really good. How much time was put into volunteering? That varied just as much as the different jobs people volunteered for. For Suzy Rosenow, junior, volunteering was only something she did when school was on vacations. My church had daycamps for children who didn't have anywhere to go on their vacations from school. said Rosenow. So I helped out with the kids then. We'd play games, do arts and crafts, read and other things they enjoyed. For Rodgers, however, volunteering was something she did once a week. It's not time consuming at all.” said Rod- gers. and besides, it's something that's very worthwhile to me because I know what I am doing is good for my community. Everyone who volunteered agreed that it took very little to please those they were helping. All it took was reading a sick child a book, and his face would just light up. said Leonard. McBride agreed. When working in the shelter. I would visit with the homeless. They were so pleased to have a friend to talk to. It was wonderful! Volunteering with the homeless through her church made Tanya Peterson. sophomore, realize how much she took for granted In her own life. Sometimes we really overlook things that other people don't have. she said, like a roof over our heads, or a warm meal. Peterson felt volunteering really opened her eyes to how many people need help in the world. Volunteering is a worthwhile committment for our community, and I'm glad I'm a part of it. summarized Leonard These students all had earned more than just money. 46 Volunteers Volunteering is a very time consuming duty for Lisa Leonard yet she doesn't mind working and not getting paid since she enjoys the children Service hours toward Confirmation are earned by Jenny Rice as she volunteers her time each Sunday to teach five year olds in Sunday School at Holy Family Church Rice not only earned hours, she also had a lot of fun Volunteers 47 Summer is in the air.

Melinda Boone looks on while John Yarwood seems amused by Ed Olson's extreme New Wave movements at the Sweetheart Dance. 48 Dances flashing lights, the bodies glide across the crowded floors Dance the night away! Always popular, school dances were crowded this year with the flapping arms and fancy footsteps of happy dancers. The Snodaze Dance was a great example of their popularity. Chad Manbeck. sophomore, said that this was the best dance he'd been to. partly because of the large number of people there. The preview given by the Sound and Light Show a few days before the dance may have contributed to its success. Manbeck said he liked the sound and light shows that play the music that everybody wants to hear. He was not impressed by live bands or disc jockeys because live bands don't always know the right music and regular disc jockeys can get a little boring. Larry Gross, senior, also thought that sound and light shows were a little more exciting than d.j.'s or live bands were but. his main reason for going was just to have a good time.'' Current hits, or in music were the preferred dance music. Manbeck said that I like dancing to modern music. I don't like dancing to Twisted Sister. Gross said that he danced to just about anything, but if he didn't like the music, he simply wouldn't dance to it. One of the few things about the dances that students weren't pleased with was The best part of the dance was getting formally dressed up and going out to dinner. — Steve White the location. Rob Fields, sophomore, thought that having the dances in the gym instead of the cafeteria, would improve them. Fields added that there was more room in the gym. and it would improve the atmosphere. Manbeck said that the Snodaze Dance was fun because there were more people there than at any other dance that I’ve been to.” He felt that when more people were at the dance, it was livelier. Also, the larger crowd gave some people the courage they needed to get on the floor and dance. Most students went to casual dances with a bunch of friends. The special dances, such as Sadie and the Sweetheart Dance, were, of course, attended by couples only. Steve White, junior. and his date Mari Longfellow, soph- omore. said. The best part of the dance was getting formally dressed up and going out to dinner. The Sadie Hawkins dance was, as always, popular. Amy Perwien. senior, said that This year it seemed like there were more people dancing than last year. Pearson too felt that the dance would have been more enjoyable had it been held somewhere else. This year, for the first time a Sweetheart Dance was held. It was a semi-formal dance and was held at the Holiday Inn Hotel in February. Pearson. .. looked forward to the dance because it was semi-formal and held somewhere besides the school cafeteria. Jill Anderson, sophomore, and her date Lee Goldstrand. sophomore, both had a good time at the Sweetheart Dance. Anderson said that it was fun to see everybody all dressed up. She thought that the D.J. was pretty good, but the other entertainment, a mime and a magician, left something to be desired. To sum it up she said that the Sweetheart Dance was “like an inexpensive prom for students of all ages. Dancing to the beat of Twist and Shout .

The publications sponsored their annual food drive. This year a classroom trophy was an added incentive for students to bring in canned food items. The Student Council donated approximately $500 to charities during the 1987 — 88 school year. DECA raised $3,000 to be donated to the Muscular Dystrophy Association through their Bowl-A-Thon. AFDA participated in a national program to develop a model high school campaign to promote drug consciousness and conscience. The program called PRIDE obtained pledges from over 700 students who agreed to abstain from drug use in school and at school functions. The St. Louis Park SADD chapter successfully started a Sober Ride which was available to all students. Cheerleaders spent approximately 4 hours per week outside of school promoting school spirit and supporting Park's athletic teams. This was in addition to summer practice three days a week before school started. The Concert Band had the highest membership of any organization with over 100 participants. The Jazztet won the Minnesota Jazz Music Award in the High School category at the Minnesota Music Awards. The Math Team won the State Championship for the 4th consecutive year.

This could be a frightful experience for some new students. To help new students with such problems was the job of the Welcome Committee. But volunteering to show new students around wasn't the only task of the committee. Members tried to make new students feel like they were apart of the school. They introduced them to different groups like SADD and the Thespian Society. They helped new comers sign up for the extra curricular activities and acquainted them with the Oriole customs. The committee held a meeting during the first week of school to answer any questions the new students had. Mixers were held to help them become familiar with a few new faces. One other thing the committee did was to give the newcomers free tickets to the first football game and dance, encouraging them to get to know some of Park's social activities. The committee was voluntary and run by the students. Returning as chairperson was Jenny Rempfer. junior, along with her. Robert Laney. assistant principal, acted as advisor. We were very efficient this year. commented Rempfer, We made goals in the beginning and worked until we achieved them. One example was the idea of making follow up calls to all new students at the end of the first quarter. These calls were made to answer any questions that might have come up and just to see how they were doing. Calling the students proved to be very efficient if not necessary because they were doing very well in the new school. What the committee did. no matter how seemingly insignificant, was important to both the committee members and the new students to make adapting to the school easier, commented Laney. Exchange student Sergio Fuchs, senior, agreed. Coming to a new school was scary but having someone welcome me helped me to become familiar and more comfortable with my new surroundings.” The Welcome Committee didn't get the recognition that other organizations did. But by keeping things casual it helped to make things more fun and less confusing to the new students. Welcome Committee 51 AFOA: Frool Row Geoll Rogers. Barak Bar Cohen Row 2 Deanne Hop.

You've seen the commercials. Just say NO!!!” But in some situations more than a simple NO is needed. This year. Athletes for Drug Awareness (AFDA) and Students Against Drunk Driving (SADD) sought to raise students' awareness of the problems of drug and alcohol abuse and especially the everlasting problem of drunk driving. One new method AFDA tried was a campaign called PRIDE (Personal Responsibility In a Drug-free Environment). This campaign encouraged students to pledge to be drug and alcohol free at school and school-sponsored events. AFDA's goal was to recruit 25% of the student body to pledge. Members of AFDA talked to classes about the effects of drugs ans alcohol and offered suggestions on how to handle situations involving drugs and alcohol. Through the hard work of its members and co-advisors, Pam Canning, Dick Gislason, and Leigh Abramson, AFDA surpassed its goal by recruiting over 50% of the student body. Canning was proud of We also offer a Contract for Life, which is signed by both the student and parent stating that neither of them will drive drunk. Lisa Sletten the student response and the effort of the AFDA members The PRIDE pledge drive really helped the group commit. she stated, and the student interest helped the members continue planning with ambition. Like AFDA. SADD promoted the nonuse of chemicals, but focused on the dangers of driving while under the influence of mood-altering chemicals. SADD worked with Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) at a Candlelight Vigil at the State Capitol in St. Paul. The vigil was a remembrance by loved ones of those who were killed by drunk drivers on Minnesota highways SADD members who attended the vigil helped with various tasks, such as. setting up chairs, unwrap- ping candles, and handing our programs Lisa Shaw, junior, stated. SADD also helped by ringing bells during the vigil, and some members were asked to help read names. By the end of the vigil hundreds of names had been read. Shaw commented, It was amazing hearing so many names of people who had been killed by drunk drivers alone, and seeing all the greiving family members. It was really an eye-opening experience. SADD also campaigned to recruit mem bers. Posters and guest speakers helpec SADD to make known their fight against drunk driving. Lisa Sletten, junior, ex plained some continuing SADD efforts We publicized Sober Cab. which is a cat ride home for those who are too impairec to drive We also offer a Contract for Life which is signed by both the student and parent stating that neither of them wil drive drunk. Members of both groups worked hard to promote their goals for healthier and safer lifestyles for everybody in the school, and the growth of student interest was satisfying and encouraging. 52 AFDA SADD Working with other SADD chapters and MADD is important to SADD members Noemi Greyzdort makes a call to MADD about upcoming events SADD: Front Row: Lisa Shaw.

Kevan Kosobayshi best for the whole senior class, but the kids were very intelligent and creative. They worked hard, took on much responsibility. and. most important, were very selfless ” What were some of the benefits about being on the Senior Board? Schmidt thought. I did something for my class It may not have meant a lot to others, but it did to me. While the Senior Board was busy making decisions and planning for the senior class, the Student Council was making decisions and organizing plans for the entire school body. They planned school dances, prom, homecoming, and they discussed the pros and cons of the pop machine, just to name some of the issues they were in- volved with. The money from the pop machine was put to good use by making donations to organizations that were in need of money, giving scholarships, and supporting the prom. Through the Council s efforts. Park was also able to be part of the North Stars Challenge. a drug alliance program put on by the North Stars professional hockey team Points were earned for the school by having a variety of support programs including PRIDE (the anti-drug pledge program) SADD. and other student sup port groups One way of finding out what was best about a specific subject was to ask others outside of the Student Council. Many times I would ask my friends their opinion on a certain issue because it was difficult to get everyone’s viewpoint. commented Kevan Kosobayashi.

This is KDXL, rock-n-roll request radio. Just call in and we will take your requests (or music. Whether it was KDXL. Channel 22, or Chrominance (the video yearbook), students enjoyed the chance to participate in some aspect of electronic media. As a KDXL disc jockey, a student's job was to announce songs, update the weather, and play music. Since it was a volunteer activity, students spent their own time, including weekends, working at the radio station. There were various reasons that students were eager to be disc jockeys. Some thought it would be a good experience for future careers in broadcasting. Besides experience, most students who joined thought it was just plain fun. Youth is very much in touch with listening to the radio. stated Pete Peterson. media productions teacher and KDXL advisor. According to Peterson, that was the main reason students were interested in being involved with KDXL. Although it was fun. there was much work to be done. Besides being able to do the work technically, the disc jockeys had the pressures of speaking on the radio. At first the announcing was really nerve racking, explained Tony Shidla, soph- “Youth is very much in touch with listening to the radio.” Pete Peterson omore. But I got used to talking and realized it was just me and the microphone. According to Peterson, many KDXL disc jockeys were creative this year, using their talents to develop names and gimmicks for their shows. One example was Shidla and Junior Chris Ritchie's show. Strange Brew. Another form of media at Park was the visual communications, cable channel 22. All students involved with the cable t.v. station worked with video cassette recorders, television cameras, sound and editing equipment. Experiences with sophisticated equipment helped give them an advantage when seeking a career in media technology. Senior Leslie Kiheri, student aide for the cable station, found her work to be helpful in preparing a video to display to Brown Institute as part of her entrance application. The video yearbook. Chrominance, underwent changes in structure. One of the biggest was the number of people working on it. In past years, one person was really responsible for developing the video. This year a staff of about ten people contributed to the work. Carolyn Charles, video-yearbook advisor, felt the production benefited in some ways. There was more of a variety of ideas when making decisions. commented Charles. Another difference was, not all of the staff had previous experience in media. According to Charles it took a little longer to finish because of this. But they all worked hard and tried to develop a quality video. After putting together the clips of school events and choosing music to fit each section, the students hoped they had a memorable tape. Christy Danover Senior, member of the Chrominance staff, said It’s fun because we are creating something for the senior class to remember! KDXL: Front Row Mitch Putt, Renee Dosarmcaux.

Certainly among various school activities it had more than one meaning. For the Math Team it meant victory. The Math Team had been one ol the top two teams for the past Ihree years. In 1986 they won state. This year they wanted to be quite successful again. Steve Anderson, senior, and Jim Mashek, junior, were two of the highest ranked individuals in the state. They helped the team to its first place standing in the state early in the season. AndSfson had confidence in the team and hoped that they would remain in the top three. Although the Math Team was expected to continue winning this year, it wasn't as easy as in years past. With the loss of two outstanding seniors last spring, the tearA had to work harder to achieve the same goals. One new member was recognized by the team as getting them closer to those goals. Dan Pecoraro, sophomore, and fellow teamate. called him genius. Most people in fact, felt that Eric Goldlust, freshman, was a top contributor to the team's success. The success of the Math Team didn't “Most of the team excelled and improved throughout the season. ” Madonna Leenay solely depend on these three members, however. Eight people competed in each match. Coaches Eugene Berndt. Rollie Hanks and newcomer Mike Hilst chose the eight from the twenty person roster. They made their choices based on performances in past meets. As it turned out. these choices paid off. For the fourth year in a row the Math Team won the State competition. Minneapolis South High was the only close competitor for the title. In the region finals Mashek and Anderson placed first and second respectively. They placed slightly lower in the state finals however. Commented Hanks. The guys we have on our Math Team are good as we've ever had. We're seeing some guys here that may never be equaled in the history of Park. The Debate Team, under new coach Madonnna Leenay. also had a successful season. Their success, however, was of a different nature. To the debaters, success meant improving on a first year performance, and they did, both as a team and as individuals. Top debaters David Coombs, junior, and Jennifer Kirmsse, senior, competed in the state meet. Both were expected to do well. Kirmsse praised the team, saying that “We're doing really well for only our second year. Last year we didn't know how to prepare; we didn't know what we were up against. Coach Leenay added that Most of the team excelled and improved throughout the season. Many debaters won about 60% of their matches. Kirmsse. however, won approximately 85% of her matches. This was a big improvement for the team over last year. The Math Team and the Debate Team, two different success stories. Both looking ahead to a promising future.

The music they played ranged from classical jazz to newer fussion jazz or funk jazz Once the group selected the music that they wished to play, intensive rehersals began. Lance Strickland the group's director oversaw their practices and helped the members solve musical problems. Strickland also set up performances for the jazztet throughout the five state region. In addition, the group traveled to Jazz competitions and clinics. Being in the Jazztet is really a fulfilling experience We got to talk to and learn from professionals in the field, said Dave Thomas, senior. At these competitions they performed their music and were judged in a variety of categories, all of which were combined to determine the winner of the event. Included in the judging were three main catagories: style, execution, and improvisation. Style referred to the difficulty and the type of music. Execution simply meant how well and true to the exercise Being in Jazztet is really a fulfulling experience. Dave Thomas the songs played Improvisation was individual soloing. Each member in the group had to be able to solo upon request. The difference between improvising and traditional soloing was that improvising was made up while they played I never solo the same way twice. As my moods change, so do my musical experiences. said Jeremy Ylvisaker, sophomore. At most of the competitions Park was the odd ball, mainly because of the size of the group. All the other Jazz groups had 20 members or more, compared to Park's 8 or 9 players. Park's was also one of the few groups in which the instructor did not participate in the performance. Their oddball characteristics notwithstanding, the Jazztet had scored well in all of their competitions in the past few years. This record of achievement was recognized at the Minnesota Music Awards in 1987. when they took first place in the high school jazz category I was happiest for the students They worked hard for many years without really receiving any of the recognition they had earned Now they have!” said Strickland The award is given to Minnesota top performers in their category. The groups are nominated by top name professionals m their fields. This proved to be an advantage to the Jazztet; even though they were considered odd balls, their skill and musical talent carried them to the top 1988 was a rebuilding year for the group with the graduation of 5 players. I didn't really know how the year would go. We've never had to start over with so many new members. This year there we(e only two veterans of the group left. said Strickland But members were not discouraged I think that the potential is there for us to have a good year. said Mark Erickson, junior. 60 Music Making cleanliness a high item on his list, Scott Johnson sets the perfect example of being a good musician by taking care ol his saxophone and keep ing it in good working condition Listening to Stove Griffiths play the piano are Jean Hanson.

If we weren't dancing, we were sleeping or sqeezmg in a meal However, as a new comer to the Parkettes. Stephanie Mar shall, sophomore, felt that camp was a great learning experience It was exhausting. but I definitely think that people should attend, especially new people Between what they learned at camp and their new advisor, Delona Emerson, the Parkettes devised a totally new style for their dancing Laura Pearson, junior, described it as straight arm and sharp, as opposed to bouncy and free like we used to do.” She felt that the new style was more exciting to watch, but the old style was more fun to dance to Style wasn't the only change for the Parkettes Formerly, if they were accept ed once, they were Parkettes for as lone as they wanted to be Not any more.

The Ski Club and the Chess Club offered students these opportunities. If one was interested in participating in an informal activity but at the same time wanted to polish up on skills he or she joined the Ski Club or the Chess Club. Although the Ski Club did not participate in any competitions and the Chess Club only in a few. they provided excellent opportunities for students to become better at their respective activities. The Ski Club, under the first year supervision of French teacher Maggie Mack-aman. met once a week during the winter months. Their trips were usually to Afton Alps Ski Area, but members also took occasional trips to Welch Village. It was fun to be a part of the Ski Club because we did not compete against other schools. We could just go off on our own and have a good time with our friends, commented Chad Goldstein, junior. With about 40 students who consistently went on the trips each week, the Ski Club was the perfect opportunity to meet new people and make new friends. Caroline Piraud. an exchange student from Switzerland, agreed Being new in Going once a week gave me a chance to work on the things I was not very good at. — Chad Goldstein the school, it was hard to meet people. The Ski Club really helped me to make new friends. There were so many people that were involved it was a great opportunity to meet people. When it came down to it. most students joined the Ski Club because of their desire to improve. Goldstein summed it up by saying. Going once a week gave me a chance to work on the things I was not very good at. Another club that allowed students to improve on their skills in an informal atmosphere was the Chess Club. The Chess Club did participate in several matches through the Scholastic Chess Association, but most of the club's emphasis was on the practices. Their greatest interest was in self-improvement. We only had a couple of matches this year, but we met once a week to practice. stated Rachel Schwartz, senior. We usually held matches against each other or went over different strategies and situations. Unlike the Ski Club, the Chess Club only had six members. We were a small club, but we all got along together really well. stated Jenny Coleman, senior, who has been in the club in previous years as well. We were always trying to help each other and teach each other things we knew. I really learned a lot of new things this year. The basic purpose of the Chess Club was to help the members improve their chess games. Schwartz said. It helped me to get together with the other people and practice once a week I have really improved on my game over the course of the year. For people who wanted to improve their skills and abilities in an informal, noncompetitive atmosphere, the Ski Club and Chess Club provided perfect opportunities to do so.

Tina Barrett Party, fundraisers enliven children organizations' drive Holiday parties, leadership conferences and employer-employee breakfasts were a few of the special events of H E.A R T . DECA. and MOEA. Each club had its own objectives. Elaine May s H.E.A.R.T. class promoted training in home economics field, while Richard Hyllested and Eugene Jenson taught the basics of business fields. Civic consciousness was a mam objective of all three groups and a holiday party for underprivileged children helped make the holiday season more meaningful They chose the Reuben Lindh Center, a daycare program for underprivileged children in Hopkins, to have their party. H E A R T s publicity persons Tina Barrett. senior, and Greg Ossanna. junior, asked everyone to donate learning toys or hats and mittens to their cause. At the party, members of DECA. H E A R T., and MOEA paired up with a child. We separated into two groups. While one group was downstairs visiting with Santa' the other group was upstairs enjoying cookies, donuts. Kool-aid. and hot cocoa, Barrett explained. DECA president Brad Swenson, senior, wasn't involved directly with the children but commented that. I enjoyed just or- ganizing this fundraiser Doing something “Doing something to benefit underprivileged children was a great experience. Brad Swenson to benefit underprivileged children was a great experience. Swenson also said that it was touching to see the children meet Santa' (Tom Ouelette. senior) and Santa's Helper' (Lori Frazier, senior). Another charitable event was Bowling For Dystrophy.' organized by DECA We bowled against a Hopkins team at Texa-Tonka Bowling Lanes. said Travis Jaeck-els. senior. Hyllested reported that the members of DECA raised almost $3000 While each group worked with fundraisers they looked forward to their separate leadership conferences in the spring. MOEA's conference was split into regional and state divisions. Their regional contest was held in February and state in March There were many different activities involving business that you could participate in. commented senior Ted Neary We were able to compete in things like bookkeeping, word processing, and other kinds of secretarial duties, explained junior Rachel Buffington, junior. The leadership conferences of DECA and MOEA were much the same although some of the activities were different We mostly were tested on our mar keting and management skills. saic Jaeckels Hyllested explained that the members were also tested on the basics of the DECA diamond: leadership devel opment, social intelligence, civic con sciousness. and vocational understand mg Although the conferences for DECA and MOEA were similar. H E A R.T.'s was completely opposite. Each of the members was able to compete in forty to fifty events ranging from child care to interior design and jot interviews to human relations, was May's summary of H.E.A R.T.'s leadership conference.

The addition wasn't completed because work on the darkroom that was supposed to be done over the winter vacation had to be delayed. A higher priority project, wasn't completed over the summer as planned. said Senior Scott Lindberg, Echowan photo editor. The project then had to wait until summer. Junior Liza Etienne. Echowan photographer, said not having the addition hurt because not all the photographers could use the darkroom at convenient times, so there were problems since everyone's deadline was the same. Photographers did receive help this year in the form of photography and art assistant. Don Bratland Miriam Kagol. Mandala and Echo advisor, said of Bratland. With his background. Don had ... Dr. Crisman left everything status quo, which allowed for the same freedom, as in the past. Amy Perwien a lot of knowledge to share with the kids . Bratland thought since he had experienced all the steps in producing a yearbook and a literary arts magazine in both high school and college, he help develop better print quality and technical improvements. To aid the publications with their copy, a computer was used for the first time for Echowan and Mandala . It was a lot easier for mailing. said Peggy Libra, senior. Echowan computer editor. We used to have to send all the typewritten copy;? now we just mail a disk. Using the computer did have some drawbacks. It was really time consuming, and if copy wasn't ready it was hard meet my deadline. said Libra. Discs erased by cold weather and by mistake resulted in time consuming retyping. The major change in Echo was the addition of two new pages. One was used to cover in-depth topics, such as December's feature on the holidays with articles on holiday commercialism and Park's present policy on religion The other new page was used exclusively for light articles for and about Park students. Such as the shortage of pepfests, and problems with the parking lot were highlighted. Mandala had a larger than ever staff, which added to the magazine s diversity. Though submissions weren't up from previous years, there was more interest in the magazine. The Supreme Court's decision that principals have the right to censor a school's publication's made no change in Park's publications. Amy Perwein, Echo editor said. Dr. Crisman left everything status quo. which allowed for the same freedom as in the past. ECHO: Front Row: Bonnie Prawor, Joshua Zuck crman. Stephanie Sigeiman, Sarah Baskin Row 2. Amy Perwien.

Experience, confidence, and greater recognition aided in their success . The International Club was started in 1986 by Deb Ranney. ESL teacher She established the program mainly to help new foreign students get better acquainted with our school and country, but it was also an opportunity for Park students to get to know and learn about the newcomers. President Adam Ostrow. sophomore, explained that at the meetings they watched slides and ate food from other countries, played foreign games, and had demonstrations by club members Ostrow said. It's interesting being with new people from different countries because we can teach them new things about our country and in turn learn about theirs'. Along with learning new things the new students were able to plan a second annual International Festival, to be held at the Junior High School. The festival was a good way to get people together on a community wide basis, and many people attended the first one. Freshman Kathy Wenell explained. It's a good way to know and learn about other cultures.” Vice-President Caroline Piruad. senior, was an exchange student from Switzer- land She commented about the club. I It was very comforting to know there were others I could turn to whenever I didn’t understand something.” Caroline Piraud am very thankful to Park for organizing such a great club. It was very comforting to know there were others I could turn to whenever I didn't understand something.” International Club members helped foreign students with the English language if needed, with personal problems. and whatever else they needed guidance with Like the International Club. Thespians were also started two years ago. by play director Lon McCarthy, who previously taught at Park. This year. Michael Lane took on the responsibility of advising Thespians along with directing of all the school plays. To call it Thespian Club was something of a misnomer, since it was really a theater honor society. It's not really a club; it recognizes the people that excel in the ater.” said Vice-President Michelle Angier. sophomore About 20 new people were taken into the club during fall and spring initiations. To be initiated, one had to have 100 hours of play time, some of it spent working on the crew set. After initiation, hours could be added for honors (through community services and participation on the debate and speech teams.) For each 100 additional hours members received stars. Mitch Puff, senior, added that The Thespian Club continues after high school, so we can keep earning stars. The group many times went to shows together outside of school; then their meetings consisted of discussion about the performances and what was good and bad about them. Many of the members also attended various theater workshops. Leslie Keheri. senior, who attended such workshops felt they were, “interesting because we learn about theater and its history. Although these two organizations had just started to get established, they offered many benefits. In both cases, their second years were better than their first. THESPIANS: Front Row Mai 8ryant.

Daniel Starr thought, leadership eager participation all help earn points Juniors led the way this year in two organizations. National Honor Society (NHS) previously had included only seniors. This year was the first time that juniors could be eligible for NHS. Assistant Principal Robert Laney was responsible for the change. Paul Peterson, 11th grade counselor, said that the addition of juniors to the organization was for the benefit of having the selection on their college applications. In past years, applicants hadn’t found out if they qualified until after filling out their applications. National Honor Society, sponsored by the National Association of Secondary Principals, was designed to recognize students' leadership, academic, and extracurricular abilities. The idea is to get a good picture of what the student has done. said Laney In order to be in NHS. the student had to reach a 9.0 (B) grade point average, had to demonstrate leadership qualties. and had to participate in a number of school activities. This year 106 students were academically eligible for NHS. Two people from each Minnesota school were selected for “Quiz Bowl was a bunch of guys going out there every week and defending their school honor. — Dan Fox scholarships, although St. Louis Park had not received any yet. To become a member, each of these 106 students was required to accumulate a minimum of 15 points. These points were earned in every activity they participated in, based on time and effort put into them. If juniors could accumulate the necessary points then they would make it their junior year. Another area in which the juniors led the way was Quiz Bowl where the majority of the members were juniors. Dan Fox, junior, said. Quiz Bowl was a bunch of guys going out there every week and defending their school honor. No special qualifications were needed, Just an interest in trivia. said Jim Mashek. junior. Scott Paulin, junior, said the members got the questions used for Quiz Bowl from a Quiz Bowl book, from Trivial Pursuit, or from each other. They just made them up. During the intramural matches there was one person asking questions, while the competing groups tried to be the first to answer correctly. There were seven competitions between St. Louis Park and other schools’ teams, with the top two teams going to the state championship. However, Mashek said it was doubtful that the team would be competing in the championship since we had been defeated by St. Paul Academy and Minneapolis'South. Despite defeats. I'm really proud of the team. said Barbara Smigala, Quiz Bowl Advisor. They really did well. Even if eligible juniors didn’t make National Honor Society this year, they could think of ways to accumulate points, like joining Quiz Bowl for instance, and maybe succeed at making NHS as seniors. Honor Society Quiz Bowl 75 UCHfil UQ ldOOd 9L Past Perfect Pushing past the limit was something that was familiar to all of us as we worked toward being the best person each of us could be. Whether it was in sports, academics, music, or just everyday life we were constantly struggling upward. To help keep up appearances, a number of Park teachers attended a statewide program on Making Good Schools Better.” They discussed how to improve announcements, physical appearance, bulletin boards, the lunchroom, and means of communication throughout the school. Dr. Marjorie Bingham was appointed to the Bradley Commission, a national group studying histop curriculum in schools. Bingham, who was only one of five secondary teachers on the commission, was just one of many Park teachers who were recognized for their outstanding contributions to the school. Students, as well as teachers, were honored with awards. Six seniors were named as semi-finalists in the Merit Scholarship competition. Sophomore Jill Anderson was one of six out of 15,000 entrants whose WCCO Constitutional Essay was read on the air. Dan Israel, senior, was selected as one of twelve All-Minnesota Journalists. Awards were also received by David Thomas, senior, in the Rotary Essay competition. The Jazztet took first place in the high school category of the Minnesota Jazz Awards. The Rotary Club also gave scholarship money to four students for their musical talent. Brad Armstrong, Julie Blumberg, Jennifer Johnson, juniors and Laurie lllions, senior, each received a grant of $250. The student were chosen for their above average musical talent and reliability. At the Region 6AA Vocal Solo and Ensemble Contest Sara Tobin, Sophomore, carried a superior rating’ in the category of Soprano solos. By working harder, studying longer and putting forth extra effort, we proved that it was possible to be better than we had ever thought we could be. Past Perfect. PEOPLE USING TIME AND MONEY TO PUSH PAST PERFECT An average faculty member spent $10 per month on hair care products. Most female faculty members spent about $8 each month on cosmetics. Six hours each week was spent exercising by the average staff member. An average teacher spent $17 per month on health club fees. Male faculty members spent about $49 per month on clothing, while female members spent $69. Most teachers spent about 12 minutes each day putting their outfits together. Thirteen hours per week were spent grading and correcting by most staff members. Female faculty members spent an average of six minutes applying their make-up each morning. An average staff member spent ten minutes styling his or her hair each day. •Results based on poll of random sample.

You'd probably feel a little anxious learning from a circus clown Is it really hip to be square? Our male staff felt that it was truly hip to be happening. People's clothing, the way it looks, fits, and feels, reflects their personalities. All play a part in how they choose to present themselves. Clothes can be used to show how you feel, whether they are happy, or sad, joyful or mad. Being well dressed is a big part of the image portrayed by a staff member. said Joel Anderson. After all. we can't be skuzzy. added Richard Hyllested in regard to the staff's implied dress code. In general, the staff was in agreement that although there was not an enforced dress code, there were still standards to be met when they dressed for success. On the average, most of the staff members agreed that clean, neat clothing was the advised thing to wear, but to every rule there was an exception, such as the anonymous staff member known as the East Wing Rebel who believed that all the staff members should dress in leather, because everyone knows that leather and class go hand in hand. As for the students, they felt that the staff members should all be able to express themselves in whatever manner they felt most appropriate for their personalities. Said Scott Johnson, junior. I think it would be neat and most interesting to see the teachers dressed more like the students if they wanted to. Equally important as clothes to the image was hair style When deciding on what look to go for. many staff members needed to take into account just how much hair there was to style. There were several ways of going about this: some counted individually, some decided what was needed to cover what, and others decided to rely on the stylist's good judgment. It must be long in back and even in front, sort of a conventional unconventional look. stated George Olson. Olson summarized. Fashion is important as long as you don't use it to decide your worth. Staff 81 Publishing works makes DIFFERENCE How can teachers be sure that their students have the right reading materials for their classes? The teachers can create the materials themselves. That is what several Park teachers chose to do. Some teachers wrote books to fill blank spots in the student curriculum. Dr. Marjorie Bingham, social studies teacher, and her partner Susan Gross, wrote books about women's roles, past and present, to promote a new social history. dealing more with the common man” than with the great heroes. Bingham felt that she was paying her dues to the women's movement by writing these books because women are often ignored by historians. Wes Bodin and Lee Smith, social studies teachers and partners, also attempted to help teachers get materials for their classes. Their books were mostly about world religions (though each of them has written on other topics) and are used worldwide as a basis for a world religions class. Smith felt that these books would help kids make more sense of the world around them. Some teachers were not working to fill blank spots but instead were trying to make the existing curriculum better. Lance Strickland, music teacher, wrote music which he then used in Jazz Lab. though it was published for use by private groups such as the Wolverines, a jazz band. Strickland said. I felt it was important to provide a piece (of music) for students to practice in 12 different ways. Bob Anderson, art teacher, used his own work to improve his Commercial Art and Creative Photography classes. Anderson had published advertisements in magazines and had designed restaurants such as Tequilaberry's in Coon Rapids and Brandyberry's in Bloomington. He used that experience to teach his students. Anderson said. I want to give students experience in art in the real world. These were only a few of the teachers at Park who have had work published. The Math department has written Math Progress Check. Jennette Fredricksen. who worked with the hearing impaired, has written a book on being the mother of a deaf child. Russ Christiansen, social studies teachers, has written on economics. All of these teachers had. in their own special ways, contributed to the student experience.

Such a sad lament might sound like it came from the lips of a freshman new to the high school, but it didn't. The cry came instead from staff members who. like freshman, were new to the school. Learning how to get around in this huge, maze like building was a problem many of them remembered. Jan Lane, a new member of the science department, found it almost impossible to get from the pool door to her chemistry room in an opposite wing of the building on her first try. Robert Laney. new assistant principal, estimated that it took him six weeks to get used to this odd building Tom Morgan, transfer teacher from the junior high, didn't get lost himself very often, but he had trouble locating the entrances to elevators. Since Morgan was a language arts teacher, this made it difficult to get video equipment and carloads of books to his classroom on the third floor. Another transfer teacher. Ina Sickels. found the attendance policy a source of confusion. Once safely at their destinations, however. new staff members felt good about becoming Parkites French teacher Maggie Mackaman enjoyed the positive atmosphere she found here. She also liked what she described as the seriousness about learning and achievement” here. She added that there was a looser discipline here than in her last school in Illinois, but the students don't appear to take advantage of the casual atmosphere. Barb Mozer, another new science teacher, was also impressed with the students. saying that Park students were nicer to each other than others I've seen. The staff here was also considered a plus for its newest members. Fran Cr-isman, new building principal, said he had observed that teachers here were truely proud to be teachers. They treated it not as a job but as a profession. Were there more unusual differences from previous schools? Of course. Lane, who came to Park directly from all-girls' Regina High School, noted the biggest difference in her classes: Boys! While Al Wachutcka, who had previously taught in a small, rural town in southern Minnesota, summed up his observation about differences this way: More students, more staff, better lunches and no manure on anybody's shoes.

Special and Study Skills, ics d Science Fiction Staff 85 Students might complain quite a bit about how they had to take the bus or wake up early for school. But teachers should have been the ones who complained. Most of them lived outside St. Louis Park and all had to be at school earlier than the students. Of 57 teachers surveyed, 77 percent lived outside St. Louis Park. So they had to travel quite a ways to school every morning. The average distance that teachers lived from school was 6.9 miles and in many cases great sacrifices were made which often meant loss of precious sleeping time. Of the teachers surveyed, 95 percent drove to school. They drove from St. Louis Park. Minneapolis, and the surrounding suburbs. About 33 percent encountered rush hour traffic, which meant scheduling their mornings even earlier than usual. Barb Smigala started her day the earliest. She left her home at 5:40 a m. Joel Anderson lived the farthest away. He lived 25 miles away in Chaska. Although most teachers drove, two teachers found a unique way around driving each day. Peter Ringsrud ran to school each day. He had been running off and on for most of his life. He started running to school to save gasoline money and to help send his family to Hawaii. But mostly, he did it to stay in shape He ran the three miles from his home in Minneapolis each day in about 20 minutes. This meant that he had to leave each day at 6:30 in order to give him time to cool down and change once he got to school When asked if he encountered much rush hour traffic, he simply replied. Not as long as I stay on the sidewalk. Jan Lane rode her bike to school each day. Lane, a new teacher in the science department, had previously taught nine years at Regina High School in Minneapolis. where she also rode her bike. Lane biked mostly for exercise, but she explained, It keeps me from being a slave to cars I don't like. She lived in Minneapolis about four miles from school, and it took her about 30 minutes a day to make the trip. She rode up until mid-November and after mid-March. She said. It’s too dangerous to ride in the winter with all the snow and ice. So no matter how bad students thought they had it. it wasn't as bad as the teachers had it. Running to school is a refreshing and rewarding the shortor car ride he would otherwise have The change of pace for Peter Ringsrud. who has been three mile run is an excellent way for Ringsrud to get running for many years. Ringsrud prefers the run. to his exercise, and to save gas money Mary Simon — SLBP Aide Ann Skrade — Math Para — Professional Barbara Smigala — Mod Lit.. Eng Core 12-1. 2. Adv Place Eng .

Over one thousand meals had to be prepared each day. according to Jeanette Duenwald, of the kitchen staff To do this, cooks worked two hours in the kitchen before each day's lunch was served and two hours afterward cleaning up. including the washing of at least 800 sets of dishes. Meals that were served also had to reflect the variety of tastes and appetites of the students and staff. According to Duenwald the staff changed two items on the menu each month even though some of the changes were not always successful. We tried hot dishes recently. said Duenwald. But they didn't go over. Soft shelled tacos were the most successful recent addition. Being willing to change certainly didn't mean neglecting old favorites Duenwald estimated that for the last ten years pizza and french fries had been the best selling items on the menu, with 75 pounds of french fries going out on an average day. Keeping everyone well fed was only part of the task. Each day. buses transported students 1500 miles. Thirty-year veteran Bill Porter estimated that he alone had driven 12.000 miles on his route. Each driver travels about 75 miles each day. no matter what the weather. said Porter Once in the building, students and staff expected to find clean, well furnished rooms, all in good repair. Harley Nerland. of the maintenance crew, believed that crew members must have swept 35 miles each week, cleaned 800 feet of chalkboards, and replaced 25 lightbulbs. Nerland added. Usually two people spend six hours a day just doing other repair jobs around the building,” Some of the need for repairs was caused by students, and they became the job of aides Maddie Banwell. Anita Silbert-Dikel and Guy Stanton. Stanton said he thought that he walked 5 miles both inside and outside of the high school to help keep order and prevent problems Somedays. according to Stanton, it really felt like more. What would the place be like without all the support staff? Silbert-Dikel summed it up best. They held this place together. Without them things would fall apart.” CUSTODIANS: Doug Rannow, Evan Komar.

The one subject repeatedly discussed by freshmen was the new closed campus policy which applied to the class of 1991. Although teachers felt the policy was good for the new students, allowing more study time and the chance to take more classes, the students felt differently. Brad Sletten, said. It's not fair that we didn't get a chance to have open campus. He. like others, felt the freshmen were unjustly punished for the sins of previous classes. The teachers, however, didn't feel freshmen were being punished Eugene Berndt. math teacher, explained. It's not a punishment. It's just away to resolve the problem of students' not making good use of their time. Despite the students' negative feelings toward required study hall, they did find it helpful. Because I have more study time. I do better on tests and get better grades. commented Sletten. Although Amy McGown agreed that her grades improved, she felt the biggest problem was the separation from the upperclassmen. Coming into the high school was a big enough step for us. but being treated differently from the other students made it even harder.” she explained Upperclassmen seemed to agree that the freshmen were unfairly segregated from the rest of the school.

Teresa McBnen, Kelly DOWNHILL expert shows useful talent Almost all of the freshman this year had some interesting qualities and unique aspects to themselves. One of those special freshmen was Mitchell Kuretsky. Kuret-sky, an avid downhill skier, added a little twist, he was also a ski instructor. Kuretsky had been skiing since he was 5 years old when his family took him out for a day of skiing I went down the slope for the first time tied with a leash to an instructor,” Kuretsky explained. After that day. his parents signed him up for lessons and he was hooked. One day last year, a skiing friend of Kuretsky's asked if he would be interested in teaching Kuretsky loved the idea and he went to a teaching clinic. After the clinic, he started to give some lessons. He taught every Saturday for about 8 to 10 weeks of the ski season in past years. He taught in the Bob Goodrich Ski School which he called, a traveling band of gypsies'” because they worked at a variety of places. Kuretsky worked with 6 to 12 year old kids in the beginning and then with intermediate level. He worked at Afton Alps, Buck Hill. Wild Mountain and other places depending on where they needed him. I got along really well with my students and with kids in general,” Kuretsky said. Kuretsky made many new friends through teaching and skiing. His parents loved his work because it gave him many new and great experiences. Kuretsky definitely urged others to try ckunn addmn •Anvonp who opts thp , n9 1 , corTect equipment is important. jacket, a hat. gloves, and sun glasses or goggiet swing, aaaing, Anyone wno gets tne Mitch Kuretsky tefls his student The equipment Getting them all on and still being able to move i chance, should jump at it. includes, skis, ski bools, poles, Ski pants, a warm the hard part. adds Kuretsky McGown, Amy McKay.

Stephanie Siblings make school bigger CHALLENGE Big brothers really are a pam. especially when you barrass her Kathy smiles and goes along with it as it are a freshman When Kathy Roc's brother Chris she doesn't care Kathy remains a good sport throws her over tvs shoulder n an attempt to em through it all Many freshmen thought it would be nice to have an older brother or sister to help them through their freshman year. But those freshman with older siblings at the senior high had mixed reactions as to how much help it really was. It helped to have some familiar faces greeting me in the halls, friends of my brother I had seen at the house. But just the same, some of those friends decided since they knew me I would be a good target for them to show a little of their authority as upperclassmen on a fresh man. stated Kathy Roe. Things never got real bad. and getting some attention was nice. added Roe. But she was convinced things would be easier when her brother and his friends were gone Mike Anderson, whose older sister Jennifer Peacock was a senior, agreed with Roe's comments. Seeing my sister around school wasn't so bad. but that wasn't always the end of it; her teasing me often continued when we were at home added Anderson. Having an older sibling in school wasn't all bad Advantages were also visible. Knowing someone older helped some freshmen with difficult class choices, hints on teachers and even homework. Being a freshman was a terrifying experience in itself. The security of knowing older students helped some freshmen adjust to their new surroundings. They felt they had a kind of support from afar, both physically and emotionally. What better support could there be for freshmen than having a senior on their side? Woods. Charlotte Woods.

By the time Friday came around, this type of conversation was heard echoing through the halls from bored, unprepared for the weekend sophomores. Like other classes, the sophomores found it hard to come up with new and exciting things to do on the weekends. Finding a party was usually a highlight of a weekend But parties weren't always easy to find, unless it was a senior party At those, the sophomores ran the risk of getting picked on. laughed at or just being ignored So what happened when there weren't any parties? If worse came to worse, a bunch of us would get together at a friend's house, watch a movie, eat or just talk. commented Nikki Bottolene. Restaurants were another popular hang out. Lots of the time we would stop by Rocky Rococo's to see who was there. said Julie Maisel, But if we were really hungry we went to Annie's Parlor or Lee Ann Chin's. The most popular choice for weekend activities were social events or gatherings. but not always. Sometimes after a long week of school it was nice to have some time to myself, time which I spent catching up on my sleep.” added Tanya Peterson Although weekends were not planned ahead, sophomores didn't have trouble finding things to occupy their time, even if it meant doing the same things they had done the previous weekend.

What was the first thing that many sophomores set out to do after they turned 16? They got their driver's licenses, of course. Most sophomores had their licenses within a few weeks of their birthdays and soon afterwards enjoyed all of the benefits of driving on their own. The sophomores agreed that the best thing about driving was the freedom it allowed them. As Julie Aumann said. Driving has affected me every way possible I can get back and forth from work. I can leave the house when I want to. and I can go out with my friends and not have to get picked up by my parents. The main use of the car for the eligible drivers was simply to go places with their friends, friend who were not yet 16 Being able to drive was not all fun and games, however. There was a downside to this new found freedom, as Barb Motzko found out. One of her many duties as a new driver was to run errands for her parents. Another drawback to driving was the expenses. Aumann learned that insurance and gasoline costs took a large bite out of her paycheck. One of the worst experiences for a new driver, or any driver for that matter was getting lost Aumann was unfortunate enough to have this experience happen soon after she got her license She got lost while driving in Minneapolis. It was kind of scary. said Aumann. Except for these few drawbacks, most sophomores felt that driving was well worth the 16 year wait. Kravitz. Bryan Krogh. Charles Krueger. Heidi Langen.

Brian ADVENTURE found through youth groups Youth groups provided sophomores with the opportunity to try new things, experience different activities, and make new friends. Andrea Moldo. who was involved with United Synagogue Youth felt that her group's advisers were able to incorporate some structure with fun. We put on a play once a year. This past year we did Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, said Moldo. In something like that, structure is necessary — but other times, we d just have a lounge night where we could sit around and socialize, or do homework. Jill Anderson, a member of Westwood Church’s Youth Group also found the atmosphere relaxed, but structure was sometimes used. For instance. stated Anderson, we sometimes had meetings to study the Bible. Being in a youth group also gave people like Russ Anderson the opportunity for fun activities. We went on hayrides. he said, played sports, and went on weekend retreats. Louis Fogel. who was in B’nai Brith Youth Organization said. Some of the things I enjoyed doing were going to places like Valleyfair, and Gasoline Alley. Fogel also found that having a say in the activities that he enjoyed gave him a definite feeling of belonging. In all groups, the advisers played a big role when it came to the entertainment and wellbeing of the members. Russ Anderson said. My adviser, who was also my pastor, related well to us. Moldo agreed.

The word is derived from the Greek words sophos (meaning wise) and moros (meaning foolish). The sophomores had gotten older and wiser since the dreaded freshmen year One way the school chose to let the sophomores express their maturity was to allow them to select elective courses. No longer the days when they were told to take a full year of English. Civics, and Introductory Physical Science. Thus, choosing classes became an important responsibility for some to gain experience for college, and a good way to gain hands on career experience for others. For students like Penny Frisch the choice was made by her. together with her parents. They decided that she should take college preparatory classes such as biology and higher algebra They also felt it was important that Frisch take classes that she was personally interested in such as theater and jazz lab. Other students, like Debby Desarmeaux. took more hands on classes. Some of Desarmaux's classes included Typing. Modern Foods. Art II. and Commercial Art. Thase classes provided Desarmeaux with knowledge as well as many skills that could help her in career decisions. Frisch stated. The classes I am taking this year and the ones I plan to take next year are of a wide variety and are sure to help me in choosing a career. Therefore, the sophomore class could make no foolish choices, only wise ones in their first years of choosing electives One of the many privileges of being a sophomore is applied arts, so he asks for advice from David Beck- having the decision on which elective courses to er. the graphic arts teacher, on which courses he take Kevin Paulson's interests are in the field of should sign up for Schultz.

Eder started to nonconform as a child — I never wanted to melt in. I've wanted to stand out since I was little. She saw herself as still not fitting in later in life — as an eccentric, single actress. Part of Eder's nonconformity was her unconventional manner of dressing — Usually her clothes and accesories came from Ragstock or other secondhand clothing stores, mainly located in Uptown Minneapolis, where she also hung out. Another part of Eder's nonconformity had to do with the music she listened to — punkish rock bands like New Order. The Violent Femmes, and The Cure were among her favorites. Eder saw Park's student body this way — Everybody's different, but there's enough balance to harmonize them. In part because of that. Eder didn't see being different as a large problem. It doesn’t bother me — people who can't accept the fact that I'm different are as insignificant to me as I am to them. The sophomore class sported many individu-alstic types, like Eder. who helped make Park more diversified Eder said she has no real influences. They're more like inspirations — people who aren't afraid to voice their opinions and have them heard are her biggest inspirational sources. I do not let external prejudices affect the way I view the world. Eder's favorite quote, seems to be her philosophy on life and how to live it. Hanging out around the uptown area.

Edit 8erchem, Amy INTRIGUE major factor of Czar Power Power will get you everywhere. That's what many juniors learned this year in Czar Power , a role playing game of political intrigue set during the reign of Czar Alexander II of Russia This game, which all students in Wes Bodm's U S S R, classes played, set each student against the rest of the class. All were assigned roles and told to try to achieve the personal and political goals of that character For some this was not easy, since the game was set up with definite social classes Stephanie Hughes, an Imperial Chamberlain. commented. You can treat anyone below you any way you like. and students took every opportunity to put down the lower classes Many juniors said that they enjoyed being in a higher social class than others in Czar Power. Chris Richmond, one of the Czars, stated. When you get on the microphone used to make royal proclamations, you feel a great sense of power. The biggest challenge of Czar Power came from political scheming. Each character tried to get awards and power while disposing of enemies. Students had to decide, for example, whether or not to trust their friends. Bette Bristol, member of the Holy Synod (church), said of the nobles. They love to deal with us. but I don't trust them. Probably the most popular action in Czar Power was attempting to overthrow the government. a very risky idea For those who got caught, the consequences were severe. Many lost their money and land or were sent to Siberia (a chair by the blackboard.) For the Czar, wondering if the government would be overthrown was a constant concern, a worry that was only partially relieved by the fact that each Czar had his Secret Police force, responsible for reporting conspiracies Richmond said. I just hoped the nobles wouldn't take the empire away from me. Attention ,my kingdom, we have many a pcobtem game Czar Power Czar Armstrong gets most of hrs to solve today. is one of the things Czar Brad decision making help from his second m command, Armstrong might say to his fettow Russians in the Jenny Bruber Berland, Deborah Berman.

The invite's go from house to house inviting had a chance to find out when she was in Austria everyone to the festival and wishing them good luck. Of course I'll go back, said Lynn Keillor of Villach. Austria, where she lived briefly during 1987. There were many things to do and see that I didn't get around to. like traveling more in Yugoslavia. and seeing Roman ruins. Hans Steege. another Park native who lived in East Germany, from 1981-1985, also thought he'd return, as did Andrea Goldberg, who lived in Israel for a time. Keillor. Steege. and Goldberg agreed that the youth culture in the other countries was similar to here at Park, especially concerning dress. Keillor commented. People at Park wore shirts with University of Zurich or Ski Dans le Montanges de France , or something similar. but kids in Villach wore clothes saying U S. Army , and Travel Utah . Goldberg added that, she thought Israeli kids would dress much differently from kids at Park, but it really wasn't true. Steege and Keillor found transporta-tional differences the major culture switch from Park. More public transport used in East Germany because of it's availability, and more bikes were used in Austria because the license age is 18 there. Goldberg found the culture to be more relaxed than at Park. You weren't friends with someone because of what they wore or who they were friends with. All three Park natives missed their former homes and special aspects of them. Keillor missed the cafes. Steege the opportunities to go with friends at night, and Goldberg the independence she had had in Israel. But most of all they missed the friends they had made. Hill, Cathy Hiist.

Candi CHANGES Feeling more comfortable, the tumors that are now upperclassmen, socialize with the seniors in the lunchroom In the past the juniors were ignored and ridiculed by th older students Now that the title of freshman'' is long in the past the |uniors are free to be themselves stem from year of new status How did it feel to be a junior? Good. For a variety of reasons, juniors liked the feeling. There was more responsibility, parents were more lenient and college seemed only a step away. In addition. Dena Behnke said. I liked being an upperclassman because we got respect. Other advantages were not being looked down on by seniors, having more freedom, and letting the freshmen and sophomores do the clean up. During hockey season none of the juniors had to clean up the locker room anymore, the sophomores and freshmen did it. It was great! exclaimed Jeff Gaffney The reason? Once the freshman and sophomore years were over, no more clean up. It was almost like initiation into becoming a junior. A disadvantage was having to start thinking about college, what and where to go Although, juniors had a year to decide, they still needed to do well with their school work to get into a college of their choice. Brad Johnson said. Now that we re juniors, we have more pressure on us to decide about the future. Part of the pressure came from tests throughout the year to check on juniors' knowledge, like the PSAT. SAT. and the ACT. Another disadvantage was that when graduation time came around, they had to say good-bye to senior friends. The juniors wanted to become seniors, but there was a sense of loss too Cindy Iverson said. I find it hard to say good bye to my senior friends because they taught me almost everything I know. Lovel, Michael Lundquist. Lori Maddox. James Maidmenl, Cynthia Majefos, Michael Maneval.

Baskin continued to say. It was nice to get away from my problems and into someone else's Sometimes it was kind of realistic. Getting hooked on T V shows was also something Anna Olson fell victim to. I became addicted when staying up late with my dad watching M.A.S.H . When it was cancelled. Cheers replaced it. Now I am a dedicated Cheers fan. I saw Monty Python on cable the first week we had cable. After that I watched it everytime it was on. commented Bill Donald For some students it became such an addiction that they would tape programs on the VCR. so I can watch it everyday, remarked Baskin. Not only could students see favorites whenever they wanted, they could learn them if they chose Besides having Monty Python memorized. I could even act it out I would go upstairs and get my life saver and act it out on my brother. said Donald. Addicted juniors found a bad side to their love. My dad would get mad at me for staying up late. remembered Olson. There were also scholastic reasons against this bad habit Baskin commented. I would watch the taped version after school everyday, which left me less time for my homework. Once again , watching Monty Python's Meaning ol through cable when he was � n ninth grade He's Life , But Donald kicks back to enjoy Donald has been renting and taping episodes ever since been obsessed with this movie since it was released Moffat.

I promise I'll pay you back tomorrow, really! Sound familiar? Well, according to most people, the word borrow meant to receive with the implied or the expressed intention of returning the same or the equivilant. Not true, according to Jodi Dubish. Whenever I loaned out money. I never got paid back. What was it all about anyway? How did you know who you could count on to pay you back? Or who you could ask to borrow money from without having the embarassment of being turned down? According to Nancy McBride, there was a certain set of rules a person must abide by when borrowing money from someone. To start off. she said, smile, that's the key. Show them you're their buddy. McBride also suggested acting interested in their lives asking questions like. How are you? or How's your financial situation? Lonny Stimac agreed with these approaches but had a few tactics of his own when borrowing money. Ask for small amounts at first and then work your way up, he said. That way you don't scare them away by asking for too much. Tony Anderson thought that as the best tactic you should always pay people back when you borrowed money from them Then when they turn you down, you can always say. Hey bud. I paid you back last time, didn't I? ' got a nickel? I owe you one Can you spare some cash? Margo Rohrer and Sarah Hustad negofiale a loan to buy some lunch.

There are various consequences to being an eighteen year old. including the right to vote, better job opportunities, and registering for the draft. According to most seniors the right to vote was not an issue that was most important to them As Cindy Scherer explained it, I didn't think much about voting when I turned eighteen. This was the feeling of most students who were not concerned with following politics. Or, if they did follow politics, some, like Craig Sandberg thought. It doesn't matter who we elect into office. They will still screw us up somehow! Unlike voting, there were immediate benefits of being older One example was the chance for improved opportunities in the job market. I received a higher position in my job after I became eighteen.” stated Scherer. This was helpful to those who needed money for clothes, a car, or maybe their future education. Finally, eighteen — year-old boys were legally required to sign up for the draft, a scary experience for some seniors because if there should be a war. they would be summoned to fight. Thinking ahead. Dean Anderson added. I know I have three years to wait during which I could be called. For some senior boys it was just like filling out an application, but for others, it was a disturbing thought. Legally, an eighteen-year-old has to account for his her own actions. According to liason officer. Kirk DiLorenzo, any arrests that occur after one turns eighteen become public information and go on record. He said. The court looks at the eighteenyear-old's actions in a punitive way. in contrast to juveniles With the coming of age came responsibility along with independence In American society adults are mature persons. accountable for their own actions. Marc Hodroff said. I already thought of myself as being independent, but when I turned eighteen it made other adults realize it also.

You saw him in the hall, so you quickly went into the bathroom. Later you saw him again, and you tried to lose yourself in the crowd There was no use in hiding, sooner or later your time would come, and you'd be face to face with him There was a crackdown this year by the new principal. Francis Crisman. and assistant principal. Robert Laney. to stop the senior routine of skipping class. The policy for unexcused absences was basically the same: an unexcused absence resulted in study hall. The only difference was that the assistant principal came to your classroom and talked to you. showing no mercy for even first time offenders Jackie Wurster spent her share of hours in study hall. Wurster stated, There was no use in arguing or pleading; if I skipped. I got study hall.” This was usually the same consequence for most seniors who skipped class without an excuse. Even though the enforcement of rules made it tough to get away with skipping there were still ways to get around study hall, usually by getting a note from Mom or Dad Tony Moe stated. If I cut a class, I just had my mom write me a note saying I had a doctor or dentist appointment ” For the seniors that couldn't get a note from their parents there was still hope that the office might pass them up. Occasional skipper. Amy Richman beat the system. I didn't skip that often, only once a month or so. but I didn't get caught. This didn't happen to many, but if it did. it often depended on the teachers and whether or not they turned names in to the office. Elaborate excuses and fancy footwork became challenges for the graduating class, but it was well worth a lazy break on a sunny spring day or a little extra time to study for a big test. All in all, seniors faced the challenges of skipping and accepted the consequences Seniors 129 Title stays in her parents' names until she turns eight- on snowy, slippery days Since she supports the een. but to Brenda Schneider, this really is her own car car herself As many students have learned.

It turned into something of a personality test. How do you decide which car is right for you? I think that the car you buy has to reflect the personality of the driver. said Rich Gittleson. You and only you know what type of vehicle is best for you. and that's why all the cars on the market are so different from each other. said Gittleson Some people want the most exotic, the fastest, the most luxurious car in the world. While others just want something that will run. For Gittleson. the elegant Delorean was the perfect car for him. crazy and unique. When he came across this car. he knew he had to have it. It's a great car. How could I have passed it up? he asked. On the other side of the auto lot was Erie Kraska. He and his 1979 Ford Fairmont were made for each other. I spent so much time in my car we are starting to look alike. he said. Even though the Fairmount had seen better days, it was still a fun car It's a bomb, but it's got so much character that it's destined to be a classic. joked Kraska. Finally, there was Jill Swanson. Her car suited her for a number of reasons. My moods are the same as my car's. she said. Sometimes I'm out to conquer the world. Other days I'd rather stay in bed Like Gittleson. Swanson got the kind of deal she couldn't pass up Her father played a key role in choosing it: he gave it to her. My Chevette is the greatest car in the world and the price was exactly right. Now I don't have to worry about spending all my money and all my time working so I can support a car.” All of the owners agreed that having their own car was a great luxury that made life much easier. Even though they came in many sizes and prices, the cars were their owners' pride and joy It would be hard to get along without them. Seniors 131 Brian Henry maidens graduate to tassles from head dresses Tribe Winnebago will meet at the tee pee of Little Paddle and Big Canoe for this month's Indian Princess meeting. Laughing Blue Eyes will lead us in a craft, and Little Pine Cone had prepared a treat. Talk of Indians and tribal meetings was a little out of date, but to nine seniors at Park it was more like reminiscing. Indian Princesses was a YMCA sponsored program for first through third grade girls and their fathers. The main purpose of the program was to strengthen the relationship between dads and their children, but to the girls it was more like belonging to a club or a sorority. In order to create an authentic atmosphere for the program, each member made her own Indian vest with patches for participating events and she chose her own Indian name. To top it off. everyone had a headpiece displaying a colorful array of feathers. Thinking now about wearing feathers on my head and a vinyl Indian vest, it does sound a little bizarre. But the fun we had with our friends and our fathers are memories I will never forget. commented Angie Gwiazdon. The events best remembered by most were those of Camp Christmas Tree and Trout Lake. These were annual trips each year and time focused on outdoorsy events ranging from canoeing and fishing to pow-wows and giant bon fires. Indian Princesses was a part of my life that not everyone can identify with. stated Susie Kuretsky. To see former members of Tribe Winnebago now. it's interesting how much we have all changed. she remarked. Jenny Longstaff added to Kuretsky's comment by saying The girls from Winnebago may no longer be together, but I think there is still a bit of the old Indian spirit hidden in all of us. The remaining members Laurie Azine, Cindy Scherer. Lisa Maisel, Tracey Fischrnan. Carla Swartz and Meg Stoneking agreed they will always be Indian Princesses in their hearts.

I am doing something people respect, said Tim Williams, a volunteer firefighter explorer for three years. Explaining his reasons Wiliams added that it was related to my career plans to be a fireman paramedic. Wiliams was just one of a number of seniors who were one of a kind at something. Chris Lyons was a swing manager for McDonald's in Knollwood. I did not think much about it; to me it was just a job. he said. Yet no other seniors were managers at their jobs. Lyons added that. It helped me get and maintain my truck. Matt Amundson also had an individual activity. He flew in the Civil Air Patrol. When you're up there you are in total control and feel free from everything else. Although Amundson had a student pilot s license he still was not allowed to carry passengers. But. he could fly solo or with an instructor. I am working on my qualifications for my pilot’s license. I intend to fly commercially later in life. Amundson said, adding that the biggest reason he flew was. the thrill and excitement. I was once even in a B-22! Jodi Davis had a more school-oriented activity. Davis was the only senior Parkette. I never thought I would stay in it being the only one. she said. But I love it too much to quit. I love to dance. I always have. We do a lot of performances, like conventions, that most people don’t know about. It really doesn't matter perform, the senior class cheered me on; it was a good feeling, commented Davis on her overall year. Another student with an exceptional background was Galit Cohen, a transfer student from Israel who went through basic training for their army. They taught me basic survival skills, and gave me a lot of experience for my future. Sohen. still a citzen of Israel, had to return to Israel to complete her two years of services after graduation. I want to learn in America but I am not sure if I want to live here. summarized Cohen. These one-of-a-kinds unanimously said NO! it didn't bother them to be the only one at their special activities I would encourage anyone else to do what they like, regardless of what others think1 concluded Wiliams.

Jill Fields, passes the time by talking to Jenny Bruber They share important nows of the day and talk about the� r weekend plans with one another Anton Motdo Emily Morgan 138 Seniors Michelle Murtha Theodore Neary Michelle Neeley Mark Nelson Karin Newhouse Thomas Nicosia J. Trent North John Nuyen Christine Oakland Dommque Ochoa Jill Oleisky Edward Olson Ross Ostendorf limo used by some passes others Once they got that long-sought license they took advantage of driving to school or getting a ride. But stepping out into the cold weather and walking two or three blocks to the bus stop in the brisk winter wind remained an every day routine for some seniors. Jennifer Kirmsse was one who could be considered a veteran. Getting up early to catch the bus was a common task for Kirmsse since as she said. I have taken the bus since kindergarten. With all her experience she knew exactly down to the minute what time to leave. Still, she pushed it a few times and found herself walking to school Kirmsse didn’t mind having to take the bus. but she did mind being the only senior with a lot of underclassmen. Other seniors like Todd Kalman also rode the school bus but could not be considered full-time veterans For he only took it a few times a week, usually catching a ride with a friend or driving himself. Kalman also had ridden the bus since grade school. I don't mind, commented Kalman. It is usually on time and it gets me to school on time It's worth getting up early. Molly Blackmore was typical of those who were classified as amateurs at busing. She only took it after school once a week. Blackmore usually got picked up by a friend, so she never had to worry about getting up real early in the morning. Just taking the bus after school, though, created some problems. The bus that I took was the first one to leave, so I had to hurry to catch it. If I missed it. and I would end up walking two miles home. explained Blackmore. Now that they'd acheived senior status, was walking a couple of blocks in the cold to get into a warm bus too unglamorous? According to Kalman, it depended on how one looked at riding it. If I had a ride. I'd take it. but that yellow limousine guaranteed me a safe and warm trip to and from school in style. So while the ease of driving cars and the lure of sleeping late caused many senior to abandon their old yellow friend, others remained faithful, bouncing in on the brown plastic seats right up to graduation. Senior 139 Kellie Oquist Heather O'Shea couples enjoy special times together Thoughts of their last high school year invaded many senior couples' minds, making their last year of high school special. Even though future plans worried them, couples knew in advance the things they would treasure most. Michelle Murtha thought that Homecoming was an event she and Jayson Anderson would always remember It was special, because it was the last high school homecoming we had together. Craig Sandberg sympathized with Murtha adding that it was because neither he or Tawnia Kothenbeutel could be back to share it again like some junior-senior couples. Along with Homecoming, the Sadie Hawkins dance was a vivid memory in their minds. Sandberg and Kothenbeutel went to their first and last Sadie Hawkins dance together this year Sandberg said it was more fun than he had thought it would be I gave up the opening Saturday of hunting because I knew how much going to the dance meant to her. Jackie Pagel enjoyed going to the Sadie Hawkins dance, too She commented that it was a lot of fun especially because it was one of the last school dances that she and Doug Matuska would attend. Dances were on everyone's list for excitement. The last dance of the school year, however, was held in high regards by all couples Some like Murtha and Anderson had been planning for it all year. Murtha said Other couples agreed that its finality made it unique. Sandberg commented, It'll be kind of sad because it's the last time we'll get to see our friends dressed up. While Sandberg and Pagel thought about prom as a sad time. Ted Hartman had other feelings. We plan to go all out for senior prom We ll probably rent a limo and spend more money than we did last year. He planned to make prom something that he and Tanya Ringham would always cherish Tom Ouellette Jacqueline Pagel Lupita Palomares Boris Parker Valarie Parker Mark Paulsen Jennifer Peacock Maria Peltier Amy Perwien Caitlin Peters Teresa Peters Kelly Peterson Patrick Petron Matthew Phelps Kristina Pickens 140 Seniors Jeffrey Pioske Caroline Piraud Thomas Plantikow Daniel Poland Catching up on the day. laugh.ng talking. and school day Even though they are both seniors. they eating lunch, one of the tow times Jackie Page! and don't take many of the same courses, so they try to Doug Matuska get to see each other during the see each other during the weekends Mitchell Puff Richard Raasch Danwood Rasmussen Sandra Repasky Thomas Richards Amy Rickert Tanya Ringham Scott Ritter Elizabeth Rivera Lisa Robinson Arnold Rogalla Geoffrey Rogers Christopher Rose Barry Rothman James Rowan Amy Richman il Christopher Roe Amy Polikoff Seniors 141 capture eyes, ears of college scouts One of the big questions in seniors' lives was where to go to college For a few of them, finding a place to go was a little easier. Such seniors as Deanne Hop. Brad La-Combe, and Laurie lllions had the priviledge of being recruited for their variety of special talents. Hop's talent was in the pool where she was one of Park's top swimmers. In the state meet, she swam in the 100 and 50 meter freestyle, capturing 5th and 6th places, respectively. Hop also set records in the 200 and 500 meter freestyle. Hop, who was heavily recruited by the universities of Minnesota. North Dakota. Wisconsin, and Purdue, received many phone calls and letters from these schools and their coaches She was offered partial scholarships at Minnesota and Wisconsin and recieved paid visits to those and other schools. She said. It's nice to know that you have a gift good enough to get a college's attention. A second highly recruited senior was Brad LaCombe who moved here last year from Mora. Minnesota. His special talent was football As a middle linebacker he set records this year at St. Louis Park for tackles (season and game), defensive points (season and game), and longest punt. LaCombe who started playing football when he was four was being recruited by the Universities of Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota State. Notre Dame. Wisconsin. Wyoming and many smaller schools. LaCombe thought that he preferred to go to Iowa or North Dakota State. He too was recruited with letters and phone calls, including one call from Iowa Head Coach Hayden Fry. LaCombe explained. I was so surprised. I said. Hayden who?'. I was really honored to get a call from such a famous person. Not all recruited seniors were athletes. One such person was Laurie lllions. who was recognized for her playing of the violin. She was being recruited by music schools such as Oberlin and Eastland colleges, lllions also went to a music camp in Masschusetts where she was reviewed by many colleges. She said. The recruiting is so competitive that it's scary. Despite the recruitment efforts, lllions said she wanted to go to Brigham Young University for a couple of years and then go on to music school. So obviously some senior's talents helped them greatly in smoothing the way in to their future.

Yet some events really made the seniors realize that it was their final year of high school. For Ross Fredenburg it was the ending of the football season. Fredenburg said. It was really sad when football was over because I realized it would be the last time that I would be playing football seriously with a team.” Dave Knudson also stated. I found it very difficult when I had to say good-bye and thank you to the cross country team at the banquet, because I knew that I would not be back next year. It was a special kind of atmosphere, different from lunchtime, when walking downstairs to the cafeteria each morning. There were always seniors sitting at one big table. Many ate breakfast, did last minute homework, kept up with the latest gossip, or read the newspaper, catching up on the Twins, latest fashions, or the comics. Michelle Abramovitz commented. I enjoyed having first hour open; it gave me the chance to get to know seniors that I normally couldn't sit down and talk with. Geoff Rogers remarked. We really had some unusual conversations about our lives; it was great. We felt like we had our own little first hour Breakfast Club . The realization also came when it was time to exchange senior pictures. Francie Scherling said. This year was so different when it came to writing out pictures for people. I really had to think about what to write on the back of each one to make it personal, knowing that I would not be seeing some of them for quite a few years. But of course June 9. the day of graduation, was above all days the most significant. It meant putting on a cap and gown and listening intently to graduation speeches. It was the last chance to sit with classmates and feel a special closeness, realizing that graduating left childhood behind and the special senior moments must be stored away to be brought out at the first reunion of the class of '88.

Put it on wheels Thirteen years of struggle and effort. Thirteen years of learning and trying of taking tests and writing themes. Getting up in the dark to get to the high school by 7:30 and getting home in the dark after play practice or the ball game. The seniors felt they deserved a reward for making it all the way and the prize should be a memorable one. What would a senior want? The overwhelming choice of members of the class of 88 was a car. Preferably a new car. or one that is in better shape than the one I have now. or even an old one. just so it ran. It meant not having to borrow from Mom or Dad anymore. Other most sought-after graduation gifts were trips, to various and sometimes exotic places, and money. Many seniors looking to the future wanted funds to use for college: others wanted an unspecified figure for no named purpose, just simply Cash. But by and large, the reward at the end of the graduation aisle that most people wanted took upkeep and insurance and lots of gas. They would drive it off with a final symbolic sense of freedom.

College Prep Biology students learned Genetics by raising and breeding fruitflys. As a National School that successfully maintained the quality and spirit of excellence. It wasn’t so much what we learned here, although that was also commended, it was how we learned it. In order to keep students enthusiastic about learning, teachers were constantly looking for ways to make school more fun and interesting. Career experience was gained through programs such as MOEA and We Cep . students involved spent part of their school day in school and part of it at a workplace where they could earn school credit while earning money. Teachers also made an effort to keep required courses interesting. Advanced Placement English classes wrote a paper incorporating art and music with literature. Biology and Anatomy courses were given the chance to disect crayfish, worms, frogs, and even cats. Freshmen in Drivers Education used computers to simulate the dan gers of drunk driving. French comic books were read by us in French class and board games such as Monopoly. Clue, and Bingo were played in Spanish classes. Psychology students played Pictionary as a way to develop creativity. Food preparation served as a satisfying way for many of us to learn. ESL students learned about the American holiday of Thanksgiving by participating in a turkey dinner complete with stuffing, cranberries, and of course, pumpkin pie. Becoming, better than the best wasn’t only a job for the students. Teacher’s planning and creativity helped us learn more and gain more interest in learning. ACADEMICS Checking the shot, «s pari ol a broadcasting uml in Journalism, Bob Ash interviews Fran Cnsman Academics Division 155 Employment DISRUPTS study time Schoolwork, extra-curricular activities, friends, jobs and only 24 hours in a day. How did students find time to juggle them all? I think work takes away from school Jobs take away from homework time The main purpose of school is school. stated Russ Christensen, social studies teacher Many teachers shared Christensen's views on students with jobs. According to counselors. 52 percent of high school students were working at any given time during the school year. Students worked for a variety of reasons most of which centered around the money they earned. If I didn't work I wouldn't be able to go out with my friends as often or buy as many extras as I like. stated Beth Jakubic. senior. Although jobs gave students valuable experience with people and a greater sense of responsibility and independence. many teachers still felt that working interfered with school. Every so often a kid comes into my office and says he had to work until 2 am and was too tired to make it to school. commented Lyle Hanks. Administrative Aide Depending on the number of hours students work, their health can defmately be affected, and in turn they will be absent more. explained Pat Peterson, health aide. Not only did working cause students to be absent more often, it also caused students to be less attentive in class. If a student tries to fit too much into his day, eventually something has to give. commented Ed Sorebo. social studies teacher I often tell parents to compromise with kids and decide how many hours can really be worked without letting school suffer. Grades weren't the only aspect of school affected by students' jobs. Extracurricular activities were sometimes secondary to work. Cindy Iverson, junior, stated. Working interferes with sports and other extra curricular activities because of the odd hours everybody works. Karin Newhouse. senior cheerleading squad captain, agreed saying. Sometimes people on my squad have to work unexpectedly on days they're also scheduled to cheer, it puts a lot of pressure on everyone. Most students didn't feel that their per formance in sports was affected by their jobs. Their coaches tended to agree. Most athletes just don't have a lot of problems with it Their jobs are only weekend jobs because of games or practice every week day. commented Hanks Despite the possible health risks and grade drops, students stayed on the job And some students learned to compromise. Allison Cole, sophomore, commented. After working all summer. I was really overloaded when school started My grades showed it so I had to quit. Late in the semester my grades went up again so I found another job This one gives me more time to study. When I don't have a sport it’s not that bad. But when I have hockey and a job. I don't have any time for homework. — Jason Lynum I enjoy the benefits of having a job. especially having a little extra spending money. — Lisa Leonard With the busy schedule I have. I don't think I could handle a job. I use all the free time I have just to relax. — Molly Conway I find it necessary to focus my time and energy on excelling in my education. Therefore it doesn't allow me to hold a job. — David Dufour 156 Academics Have you ever been caught dozing off in class? Well, you would not be the only one Late hours at work are often the culprit as Bob Cheney has found. “Oh my gosh!' exclaims Tom Gale as Ed Sorebo shows him his grades Gale, who works, has grades that are a little lower than he would like.

With him .vere all the group s notes. Now what? This type of situation taught students in oal life ways how important cooperation ind seeking solutions were. Many peo Die m today s world have problems learn-ng to depend on one another, maybe Decause of shyness, bad experiences or vhatever the case may be. Having students in groups instead of ordinary rows dealing only with teachers allows them to earn to rely on one another. said Lee Smith. Sociology and World Relgions teacher. Wes Bodin. U S S R . and Anthropology teacher favored the method because I feel that group discussion gets more people involved, instead ol just a student and teacher talking about a particular issue. Smith who enjoyed teaching this way. said. Watching the students express their own ideas and not always agreeing with others provides variety, and more interesting discussion. Both Smith's and Bodin's students seemed to favor the system for various reasons The class gave me a variety. said Jody Seim, senior. Not all the peo pie in class had the same opinions, and I could hear a lot of ideas that I might never have thought of. Karen Slatter. senior, also tended to favor the groups, especially the way the group members supported one another Having three other people believing what you do could give you the confidence to present an idea to the class.” commented Slatter Other students enjoyed the class for totally different reasons. It is a change from other classes, sitting at the tables with group members helped create a comfortable atmosphere. commented Hans Steege. junior Although students seemed generally to like group discussion, like all good things, discussion, had some bad features The class did get loud at times and people would talk at the same time so it was hard to understand. said Slatter Teachers too. recognized this problem. The class did seem to take more time to get settled down, but this just showed the energetic attitudes toward the discussions, commented Bodin However the good usually outweighed the bad. and in this case it did again. For example, there was sure to be some disagreement In some instances the class would take the whole hour on just one topic When two people disagree on an issue and keep trading their viewpoints, the teacher usually sits in One can learn a lot from these disagreements. commented David Thomas, senior Sometimes there were some real heat ed arguments among groups, with some real strong opinions It would look pretty serious for awhile, but after class the ar guments were over. said Matt Ash. se nior What people learned was how to disagree.

Something that could be a lot of fun. — Heidi Goodsen I needed a half credit class so I decided to try something different.”— Bob Rumsch I was hesitant to take an art class, but once I got my hands on something it brought on a new meaning. I really learned to ap-preciate art.” — Josh Dansinger I just happened to think it would be a lot of fun. I found out how exciting and how challenging art can be. — Traci Beugen Individualism SHINES IN ___________creative arts Individualism and creativity were characteristics that everyone had. but not everyone expressed them. But for some students. creative outlets were necessary to getting along each day. By taking the sculpture and pottery class. I had a lot more variety in my day, commented Lisa Gunderson, junior. It gave me a chance to work with my hands, express my creativity, have lots of fun and just escape from the routine of studying from books all day. Gunderson was typical of students who sought ways of expressing themselves without discussing it or writing it down. Classes like photography, pottery and sculpture, art. theatre, and many others gave students the chance they needed to show what they were feeling. Variety during the day was one important factor in taking art related classes. but for some it meant a whole lot more than that. Kathy Kloster. junior, planned to attend the Minneapolis College of Art and Design part time in the fall of '88 during her senior year. I took the sculpture and pottery class this year to broaden my knowledge and creative skills with different mediums. Earlier, Kloster had mainly focused on her ability to paint, but by taking a variety of art classes now she hoped to be more prepared for what is coming her way. Another thing that these artists enjoyed was the pure satisfaction and enjoyment of seeing a project done and done well. It was nice to see a project done, no matter how small, just the fact that I made it myself brought me tons of satisfaction. stated Lisa Schuetz. sophomore. Schuetz was enrolled in graphic arts which gave students a chance to work on a variety of projects like silkscreening, printing bumperstickers. and designing sweatshirts. Whether it be with clay, paints, plastic or any other material, taking these classes provided experiences and allowed indi- vidual developement that could not be gained elsewhere. But creating wasn't limited to working with man made materials. The body and the voice were explored and developed ii theatre, a popular form of expression fc many students. In theatre arts class, aci ing gave me a chance to be whoever wanted to be. commented John Scho! tenbauer. junior. I hope to have a chanc to use some of my acting experience i the future, but for the time being I jur enjoy doing it. With so many different ways of e pressing creativity how did individuals d -cide what was right for them? I trie f many different things before I decided ) focus on my art. I have always felt me comfortable doing things on my own i my own way and expressing myself. e claimed Kloster. Through my art I portre my ideas and feelings and that is som • thing that nobody can ever take awe from me. 160 Academics Attaching a handle to a pot he threw on a potters move and Walter will havo to start all over again, wheel two days earlier.

If the new administrators had received a report card, they would have made the B honor roll. I gave them a B because both good and bad things came from them. said Tanya Peterson, sophomore New principals Fran Crisman and Robert Laney had their own ways of doing things, including some new policies. They were friendly and seemed concerned with the student body. However they made too many changes that affected the graduating class. remarked Robert Martineau. senior. School was not what it used to be. There were not as many pepfests. commented C'ayton Frey, junior. Martineau also felt the shortage of pepfests and he didn’t like the changed lunch hour or the loss of a free skip. Freshman felt the policy changes most directly because they alone had required study halls Laura Brothers, freshman, said. We are treated no differently than when we were in junior high school. So I would have given them a C+. Some of the views on the administration were indifferent Maddie Banwell, cafeteria aide, remarked. All the changes they made were revised to fit what the students were used to. so I guess it did not matter either way, but I would give them a B for trying. Many underclassmen were quite accepting of the new administration, in part because Crisman had been at the junior high. This was the case for Josh Mechler. freshman. It was nice that we did not have to change principals. he said. At least we knew who Dr Crisman was and what he was like. Older students found things to praise as well. The new TV monitor and announcement board seemed to work OK for the announcements. commented Frey. I would have given them a B. Martineau said. I liked the way Dr. Crisman was willing to listen to the students' ideas about the school. I would give him an A. Other changes the administration made were efforts to fix up the school. They deserved a B+; I liked how they cleaned up the school, like fixing the bathrooms and painting the school. remarked Matt Hobbs, senior. While a source of complaints from some seniors, faculty and many students approved of the new attendence policies. Fred Swanson, social studies teacher, said. I think it made students stop and think twice about skipping, so I would give them an A. Surprisingly, students did not seem to mind either. I liked the new study hall methods. If people want to skip and they get caught, they should get penalized. Even if it is the first time. commented Melinda Boone, senior. I do not really think there have been major changes yet. though I anticipate some in the coming year. remarked Lauralee Elnes. business teacher. But I liked what I saw this year. After one year on the job and with memories of old ways fading the new administrators were settling in. Maybe, as Peterson said, They'll make the A honor roll next year. Academics 163 Students TRIP outside class Imagine yourself sitting in a big chair, but you're flying over a brightly colored forest. No. it's not a Saturday afternoon helicopter trip, you're at the Omni Theater Field trips. The ultimate break from school They gave learning experiences, while not making students sit in class. Students visited everything from Hennepin County Workhouse to various churches and synagogues. Field trips gave added meaning to teachers' lesson plans. Teacher Ken Bom took his Criminal Justice class to the Hennepin County Workhouse and to the Government Center. Larry Gross, senior, stated. Going to the Government Center I learned how the juvenile court system worked. The workhouse showed me that crime really doesn't pay. We saw the cells and how the men lived; it’s just not somewhere I'd like to stay. Other field trips helped students explore common concerns, for instance, the trip to the University of Minnesota for the Congress on Priorities. 32 Park students were among 400 high school participants from the Twin Cities area Before the Congress. students chose a world problem, such as. the arms race or wars in the Middle East, researched it. and then debated it with the other participants. Amy Durand, junior, stated, It was a good experience. It was helpful to hear other people's arguments and solutions for war. abortion, and other world issues. Students in Imaginative Literature had the chance to see something they had studied, but in another form, the movie The Princess Bride . This was an unusual trip, since not many people consider going to a movie an educational experience, but. as Lisa Bauman, junior, commented, The movie really fit into what we were doing in class: it was just a visual form of imaginative literature. The World Religions classes visited area churches and synagogues. The class first studied Christianity and Judaism. then made the visits. At the places of worship a religious professional spoke to the students, then answered their ques- tions. Teacher Lee Smith comments!, These trips were something th it couldn't possibly be duplicated in a clai $• room. The students felt this way too. Jacl e Haider, senior, said, “It was strange; d drive by some of these places all the tir e and only see the outside. Then when I c t inside it was totally different from whaf d imagined. Other students were able to learn abc it religions which were totally unfamiliar o them. Tonya Stodola. senior, explained, We visited an Eastern Orthodox churc i which was something a lot of us hid never seen before because there arer t any in St. Louis Park. Many other classes also took exploratory trips. The physics classes spent a day at the Science Museum of Minnesota and the Outdoor Education class went rock climbing at Taylors Falls. Fieldtrips were a form of education that sort of fooled the students: they weren't in the classroom but they were learning a great deal The field trips I've gone on usually take the whole day. So it's a chance to take a break from school and relax but still learn. — Mike Tils Field trips are great; they get you out of class. It's a nice break from the regular day. — Patti Buttrey I went rock climbing for outdoor education class and it was a good experience. It was something that I wouldn't have gone out and done on my own.”— Pat Magras Field trips are a way to get out of class and into the real world.

Impossible? Not so for a small percentage of seniors who received academic honors. According to senior counselor Belen Andrada, To achieve academic honors an 11.0 (A ) or higher average had to be maintained from the beginning of 9th grade through the first semester of the senior year. Sound easy? Probably not. However, several academic honors members talked about how it was done; with these five simple lessons, academic honors can be achieved. Lesson 1: Hard Work. Good grades didn't just fly in through the window. At times, no matter how hard it might have been, a book had to be opened. Jody Seim, commented. It's not like I wouldn't work for a grade; I'd do my homework and study for tests. To sum up the first lesson. do some homework and study (not cram) for tests. Lesson 2: Discipline. Setting up good study habits, then abiding by them was hard to do but very important. Students had to discipline themselves to write a paper instead of watching the Cosby Show or to read War and Peace instead of going shopping Molly Blackmore, said. It really took self-control not to stop doing my homework and go watch T.V. or get something to eat. That was lesson 2 on the road to academic honors. Lesson 3; Go to class! No matter how bright the sun was shining or how nice a nap would have felt, an A grade couldn't be maintained without good attendance. Dan Starr warned underclassmen. Go to class. If you don't go you just get farther behind, and it is more work to get caught up than it is to just go. Lesson 4: Budget spare time. With the majority of high school students having part-time jobs, it became important to make time for schoolwork. Matt Phelps, stated. Budgeting my time was sometimes hard to do. but in the long run I knew it was really going to help when I went to college.” Lesson 5: Extra Credit. If there was one thing that impressed teachers it was the added effort to learn more. Impressing students was the fact that they could get extra points for doing a little more of work. Denise Mason, commented. Whenever I could. I would do some extra credit. It usually wasn't that hard and it gave me an added buffer in case I missed an assignment or bombed a test. Following these five tips should raise anybody's Grade Point Average and put academic honors in clear view. Phelps offered one more piece of advice. It doesn't hurt to cross your fingers and to be real nice to teachers. Teacher Anna Motzko described academic Honors this way: This was an acheivement that showed teachers, parents. and college representatives that the student took pride in their learning. They worked hard at what they had done. It was a badge of honor for an honor student to have. “I’m proud that I have done so well in school, and all my work was rewarded. — Doug Matuska Receiving academic honors makes me feel like I have accomplished a lot during my high school years.” — Eva Dockter “It makes me feel good to know that my ef-forts in high school have paid off.” — Jodi Davis “I feel good about teaching them because they are students who stretch their minds. — Barbara Smigala Academics 167 168 Sports Division Past Perfect Athletics gave us the chance to push our bodies and minds past perfect. We spent many hours training for our games and meets. Our practices consisted of afternoons and vacation days running, sweating, dribbling, and. in many cases, lifting weights. Practice time paid off as we achieved and surpassed our past performances. Personal bests were achieved in cross-country, swimming, track, and gymnastics. The hockey team had its most successful season in the past eight years. The girls soccer team placed second in the Lake Blue conference. Both the boys' and girls' basketball teams were at one time ranked in the top 5 in the state. Beating our opponents was also a priority. Working as a team we each had our parts to play. Whether we were the quarterback, forward, pitcher, or diver, when we effectively played our parts, our efforts were rewarded with victories. Whether we were part of a Freshman, Sophomore. Junior Varsity, or Varsity team, we brought pride to the rest of the school. Win or lose, the students were proud of our efforts. Athletics also taught us sportmanship. We learned how to enjoy our sport for the sake of playing. We learned the importance of playing fair. We learned how to be patient with others. When things didn't go as we hoped, we learned not to give up. With the support of fans, booster clubs, and coaches, each team made its season the best it could possibly be. With each person giving 100%, we were already number one in our own minds. SPORTS 1 ; Executing an inward pike. Chris Zimmer looks for li : ttw? water as he comes down from the top of the | dive.

Team members did not worry about whether or not they were going to make a point. Rather they played the point as if it was the only point ever This was very effective for Jessica Goldman, junior, singles player. She competed with all the number one players from other teams. Muscle memory also came into practice during the season. This memory provided an additional way to perceive weight position. movement, resistance, and rapid What's the game plan?

PLAY HARD: go for the winning point! muscle-registered stimuli. It was a sense that was natural and did not have to be thought about if repetition was practiced. The rising popularity of this training technique was evident in the number of sports teams using it. Park's girls were able to use this technique not only in their matches against other schools, but also in a special parent-teacher tournament they were involved in. On September 19 they raised money for the Knapp Rehabilitation Center. The money went to physical therapy for patients that have been in accidents, or have paraplegia, many of which are athletes. The team displayed much confidence in the tournament, and was able to maintain that confidence throughout the season. The team was in a very difficult division, six of the teams Park played were the top six in the state Despite the tough competition the team maintained its confidence. and the girls were able to win four games, an improvement from last year's two wins. According to Peck, many coaches from other teams in the same conference had commented on how well the team had improved over previous years' teams. It was because the team went into the season with a winning attitude. They did not worry about the way they looked because the girls knew that they had the freedom to achieve their goals. Peck said. He also added. The two strongest points about the team were that the girls had a never-say die attitude, and they always had a healthy outlook on their playing, knowing that they were improving progressively. The team was able to maintain it's outlook despite the tough competition because members heeded Peck's advice throughout the season He always told his players. Believe in yourself; you are prepared. certain and assertive. You have worked hard and are accepted regardless of your skill level. No quitting, no excuses, be positive, and motivated. You are a winner, on and off the court. You are great!

They were the Boys’ Cross Country Team Led by coach Kevin Moorhead and senior co captains: Mark Hawkins and Dave Knudson. the team fought its way through the season of ups and downs. Along the way. the boys stuck by each other and accomplished many individual goals. It all started in mid-June, when Hawkins and Knudson began to hold captains’ practices These practices were not mandatory. but the runners were encouraged to participate in them. Almost all of the team did. Many hours were spent running during summer vacation, and even more once the season officially started The team’s practices didn't just consist of running. Weight lifting was also an important factor. The team members put a lot of time into developing their upper bodies, primarily their arms. Knudson REBUILDING creates hard won victories stated, Towards the end of a race when your legs are really getting tired, you have to depend more on your arms. Unlike many other sports in which the teams participated in a large number of games or meets, the Boys’ Cross Country team only competed in six meets. As Hawkins put it. It's like the whole season is just practice leading up to the Lake Blue Conference and Region 6AA Championship meets. That's where everybody is trying to get their best times. With the graduation of five seniors from the 1986 87 state ranked team, this season was considered a rebuilding year. Assistant coach Leslie Seymour said. The boys have a hard working team, a great deal of individual talent but we need more people to solidify the team. The lack of members hurts the team. The only seniors on the team were Hawkins and Knudson. shifting much of the attention to the underclassmen. We knew we weren't going to have the kind of team we had last year, but I think that made us work that much harder. Hawkins stated An important factor in this year’s team was the unity of the runners. The captains often called team meetings to make sure everybody was striving to meet their personal goals. The young Park runners gained much needed experience throughout the tough season. They had their share of hard times but stuck together through the rebuilding year Along the way they worked hard and had fun. Knudson summed it up. We didn’t have the most impressive record, but we felt we worked hard the whole season. We stood by each other, reached some goals, and most importantly had a lot of fun together Boys'Cross Country 173 ■ DEDICATION brings chance for success Somersaults turn Hands fidget. Your heart beats three times faster than usual. Weeks of hard work and dedication have gone into the training for this moment. You are about to run a race at the state meet for your cross country team. Bang! The gun sounds and you're off As you see your competition all around you, your mind commands your legs to take longer, faster strides. Your blood burns as the flaming sun beats upon your skin Perspiration makes your muscles glow as they grind out each step. Running behind three of your opponents, you have to push harder Your fists clench as you put everything you have into passing two of the girls. There is still that one girl who that is not going to leave your side. You can't let her have the thrill of a victory that you've longed for You hear yourself scream as you pass the finish line only a split second before her. The ribbon is yours. Kevin Moorhead, coach, summed up this feeling of crossing the finish line first: Euphoria. An incredible feeling of elation. You feel like you could keep on going ... faster. In order to bring that feeling of euphoria to life, hard work and dedication were required. To stay in fit condition for when the season started, the girls had to run year round Tracy Fischman, senior, said. During the summer, I ran three to five miles a day. five to six days a week. To help their summer practices along. Moorhead took the girls to his cabin where they ran daily. Once school was in session, they practiced everyday after classes. Practice was co-ed with varying workouts. Sometimes they had interval training and speed workouts. Other days were steady state runs (fast, long distance). Biking, swimming and lifting weights were also utilized. Margo Rohrer. junior, said Our goals for this year were to be conference champs as in 1986 and to go state as a team. The team placed 13th in the State AA tournament in 1986. Park's team was seen on paper, as well as by other coaches, as being one of the best in the state. The potential was there, but it was still a fragile season. The team in 1986 was primarily seniors This year Fischman was the only one. The team was also hurt due to the loss of Traci Neuman because of bronchitis. Despite these hardships, it was a successful season Park finished second in the Lake Blue meet with a total of 64 points. Krista Jorgensen, sophomore, won a spot on the All-Conference team Fischman also won All Lake Conference honors. There was an awesome turnout at Regions stated Mindi Hale, junior It was one of the only meets that a lot of people came to watch. Park took fifth place to end their season. The future looks bright for Girls' Cross Country. Erika James, junior, said. We looked good this year. We re only losing one senior and I think everyone will im prove.

That was the word that described the 1987 girls' volleyball team. The biggest change was the addition of a new coach. Jill Halsted. Halsted. a professional player with the Minnesota Monarchs. brought about a game plan that stressed the fundamentals, such as serving, passing, and hitting. Stacie Oberts, junior, said about the coaching move. ‘‘I think it's great. I've really learned about many more aspects of the game Oberts also stated, With each practice we gained more skills that helped us in our games Along with the emphasis on learning the fundamentals of the game. Halsted also brought in a conditioning plan. Jennie Tralie, senior, stated. In practices, we re doing a lot more sprinting, diving, and rolling than we were last year, which is really making us stronger and quicker. Even though the team had gained the skills, they lacked the confidence of a winning team. Janelle Winters, senior, cocaptain. stated. It's almost like were playing, against ourselves We think we re not supposed to win; we need more confidence. Along with the lack of confidence, injuries hurt the team early in the season. The loss of Michele Skaug, senior, to mononucleosis, Winters with a sprained thumb, and Meg Stoneking. senior, with a sprained ankle put a lot of responsibility on the younger players. Though the team was able to cover the loss of these players and play fairly well, they lacked the leadership and experience of the seniors. Despite these problems, the team played well against Park Center and Minnetonka. In one game against Minnetonka, the team came back from a 14-2 deficit but fell short, losing the game 15-11. Late in the season the team came together. They beat De La Salle 15-7. 15-12. at the Bemlde-St Margaret's tournament. Park also had an impressive win against Wayzata for its last home game. The team beat Wayzata 15-9. 6-15.15-9. 15-7, for its only Lake Conference win According to Halsted. several playeri improved during the season. Hitters Am Berchem. junior, and Jennie Tralie. senior had strong games toward the end of thr season. Setter. Tracy Chermack. junior and passer Shelly Mickelson, senior played consistantly throughout the sea son. Showings like these kept the tean competitive This year's team was an improved one but the improvement came too late. Tht coaching change is sure to help the vol leyball program in the future, but as Oberts pointed out. In order for Park to become a conference power, the funda mentals need to be more strongly emphasized at the junior high level The younger players are sure to help build a winning tradition for the years to come, but this year's team should be remembered as one that improved great iy- As Halsted pointed out.

That was the position of the boys at the beginning of varsity soccer practice This was just one coaching technique that the new soccer coach. Doug Boonstra. used. He created a game like situation by having the players imagine that they were playing a real game. They began by lying on the grass with their eyes closed. There they remained, in a relaxed state yet concentrating on what Boonstra said to them. Then he would announce a specific game situation and where the ball would be on the field. All the while the players would mentally assume their regular playing positions. Boonstra felt the boys really concentrated and he believed it helped them to prepare for game situations Although he was a new coach. Boonstra had much experience in soccer His experience included playing soccer for the University of Minnesota and later becoming an assistant coach for the team In addition, he coached summer soccer leagues in St. Paul and Minneapolis. Boonstra and his new tactics were generally well received by the players. He relates well to the team members and keeps everyone's attitudes positive. commented Brad Albers, senior. This was the feeling of most of the team members about their new coach. Although the team was not completely successful in overriding the other teams. Boonstra never let that show in his attitude about the team s talents. He felt the team improved in every game. I call that a success in itself. added Boonstra. The overall season was not as victorious as the team had hoped for it to be. As stated by Scott Lindberg. senior, We were just unlucky. ” The team played their best game against Apple Valley. It was early in the season and Apple Valley was ranked number one. Yet the team did have many strengths, according to Boonstra. One of them was that they played as a balanced team. Boonstra and the boys agreed the team was not entirely an offensive or defensive team, but played both with equal skill. Another factor which was an asset was having two senior goaltenders. This gave the team more experience in the goalie box. Besides these two positive points, most of the team worked well together on the field. Boonstra believed the team gave almost 100% in every game and he thought they shouldn't be upset about losing. As Boonstra commented, demonstrating his own positive attitude. I think the players have to be satisified if they gave it their best shot! The way Boonstra both preached and practiced a confident outlook was shown in the players' attitudes Even though we didn't outscore our opponents in any games, we improved as the season progressed. explained Tom Loftus, junior. Many of the team members felt individual success was not determined by the games won. But success was defined as the growth and improvement of each team member. 178 Boys Soccer BOYS’ SOCCER Park Opponent 0 Osseo 7 1 Minnetonka 5 2 Cooper 3 1 Wayzata 7 0 Armstrong 2 0 Eden Prairie 4 0 Hopkins 2 1 Apple Valley 3 1 Richfield 4 2 Park Center 3 0 Edina 2 Boys' Varsity Soccer: Front Row Paul Steege, Aaron Ga tin son.

Although the defense was broken down by injuries, the reserves were able to learn and accept our responsibilities and brought a new challenge to the team.” commented Gordon. The team started off strong by winning the first two games against Hopkins and Eden Prairie. They then went up against Armstong and pulled off a tie The team members then faced Wayzata and lost 4 to 2. But. after the loss to Wayzata. they pulled together against Cooper and came out winning 3 to 0. The girls' were able to improve each week, knowing they had a challenging road ahead of them, said.

The Jaguars had so many players their third string teams was like our second string, observed Ross Fredenburg. se mor. However. Park came back in the next three games to beat the Eden Prairie Ea gles. the Minnetonka Skippers, and the Edina Hornets According to Harlan Ross man. junior, the defeat of the Hornets was the most spirited success of the season The Hornets were a tough team to beat, but we are also long time rivals, so it made the success even better. stated Brad LaCombe, senior. The Richfield Spartans were the Ori- oles' opponents for Homecoming, and they defeated us 21 to 7. The team fin ished the season with two more losses to the Wayzata Trojans and the Hopkins Royals. At the end od the regualr season, the Orioles made it to the first game of the playoffs against the Roosevelt Teddies and were defeated 20 to 0 Their de fensive line was tough; our offensive line was not ready for them.” said Ron Heath, senior In the first half of the game they pul two of our players out of commission. Heath had his shoulder dislocated while blocking and Sandberg was almost knocked out while trying to throw the ball Despite weaknesses and setbacks, the season was considered a successful one It was the first season in ten years that Park had won 3 consecutive games. In addition, this was lire first time since 1984 that Park beat the Edina Hornets. Commenting on the over all season Wachutka stated, Even though the team's record was not the best.

Karen Ward takes it easy and cools down, daily swim practices last two hours during the regular season HIGH SPIRITS build strength, closeness Having a positive, high-spirited attitude helped the members of the girls' swim team to do their best at meets and to produce good results. Both the coach and the team members felt that the swim team had been working a lot harder this past year. That made both our diving and swimming teams a lot stonger, said Coach Peggy Sorenson. When we worked hard and put in a lot of effort, we had a very talented team We also had a good sense of the hard work that it took to produce high scores. said senior Karen Ward Junior Jodi Christiansen observed that pulling together with her teammates helped to make her a stronger swimmer. There were a couple of close meets that we lost, said Sorenson. I felt the reason we lost was because team spirit was low and so was the attitude of the individual swimmer. Sorenson also felt that when the team was mentally ready and physically prepared for their meets, their scores were quite good. In addition to being prepared for meets, members of the swim team were very supportive of one another. This helped to bring on a positive attitude toward the team as well as a sense of unity among the team members When one of us swam well, we would all congratulate each other When our swimmming wasn't so hot. we always reassured each other and tried to keep a high spirited attitude. said Ward. Christiansen agreed. We helped each other out all the time and if our scores were down, we tried harder the next time! Along with team spirit, support from their fans always boosted their confidence. We got much better turnouts at meets this past year. We didn't have to beg people: they just came! said senior Jackie Haider. It was great to have fans come and cheer us on. added Ward. Three swimmers in particular were winners in every event. They were senior Deanne Hop. sophomore Penny Permuth. and freshman Jenny Beyer. Those three were the highest point getters, said Sorenson. The three of them worked very hard and were very competitive. Even though the team lost many valuable seniors from this past season. Sorenson helped build for the future of the team by devoting much time to the freshman swimmers. The freshman came on the team with a positive attitude and were very competitve, said Sorenson. Sorenson felt that Beyer was especially versatile and will be a major asset to the team in the future. The relationship between the coach and the team members was another important factor in the way everyone felt about their season. Coach Sorenson was a dedicated coach and she expected that same dedication from her team. said Ward. I really worked the team hard but it paid off in the end.” said Sorenson. Agreeing. Ward said.

It was 6:00 A M., while the average student was climbing into a warm shower, the boys' swim team had just plunged into an ice cold pool. The team members proved their dedication by the many hours of practice they swam each week. The boys practiced every day after school for two hours and mornings on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Some weeks they practiced six out of seven days to get in extra yardage, which definitely took time and dedication. According to most swimmers it was also exhausting. It took a lot out of me, remarked junior Dan Zimmer. Practices included endurance training and stroke work. The team concentrated on the back stroke, the breast stroke, the butterfly, and the freestyle. The boys worked on the strokes which were most important in their meets against other schools. From physical strength came the speed a swimmer needed to succeed. Since the swimmer's goal was to finish with the The Butterfly takes endurance and strength and Derok Beyer has both as he pushes his way to the end of his lane in a meet against Richfield Fingers touching, legs straight, diver Guy Leeder comes to the top of his inward dive and concentrates on cutting the water cleanly PLUNGING into practice, head first quickest speed, time was the most important factor to each of them. To improve their strength, the boys not only practiced in the pool, but they also had dry deck practices, consisting of building strength by weight training, sit-ups. push-ups, and other exercises. The team's hard work paid off in the competition in their dual meets. They started the season with a win over Cooper by three points and they were also successful in beating Eden Prairie in their fifth meet. There were other rewards that came to swimmers throughout their season. I looked upon winning a meet as just one of the benefits to being a swimmer. said Zimmer. Besides winning a meet, one of the most satisfying facts for swimmers was striving for their best time of the whole season. Another benefit to swimming was the physical shape the boys had to remain in. Steve Nelson, coach for the team, stated. Today, the importance of staying phys- ically fit is more clear than ever before. Swimming was an individual sport and according to Coach Nelson it would be easier to continue after high school. Thus keeping in shape could be easier for a former swimmer than for team sport athletes. When the season finally came to an end. practices tapered off. The boys began shorter workouts and were given a chance to rebuild their body strength. I worked on perfecting my stroke and recuperating from the season, commented junior co-captain Derek Beyer. Most swimmers felt the hard work during the season had been worth it. They not only improved their scores from the previous years, but had worked closer toward their lifetime best . Coach Nelson agreed, saying the most important thing the boys gained from swimming was not measured by a stop watch. The boys gained personal experience that helped them develop as individuals.” Boys' Swimming 187 drummed up in gymnastics Have you ever turned on television and seen a gymnast (from another school) accidently run into a balance beam? Believe it or not. this was one of the ways the girls' gymnastics squad used to promote itself. One problem that the gymnasts had in the past was a lack of publicity. Although there was no substantial lack of morale, the team members did feel A bit unsupported and unimportant.” said Jenni Swenson, sophomore. The lack of publicity contributed to the lack of audiences at home meets. According to Carrie Emme. sophomore. The people in the audience were usually a mix of parents, boyfriends, and a few students, around 50 people in all. Team members tried to publicize their meets themselves by putting up posters and making announcements. We felt that if people knew we had a team, maybe we would pull in a bigger crowd, said Rachel Mechler. sophomore. The gymnast also tried to get recog- nition for the effort that they put into becoming proficient. Mechler said. A lot of effort is put into gymnastics and people don't appreciate that fact. The gymnasts hoped that if more people watched their competitions, the public would get a better idea of how difficult gymnastics is. Laurie Turner, coach, said. The most difficult thing is that you have to make a full commitment to the sport. The team had more girls making that commitment this year than in previous years. The meets were also televised over St. Louis Park's cable channel This was a major victory for the team because team members believed giving people a chance to see the meets on T.V. would create more gymnastics fans. The lack of publicity and support didn't seem to have a negative effect on the gymnastics season record. Team members felt that they did a good job all year. Turner said, Actually, we did better than we had expected. If the team had lowered expectations, it 188 Gymnastics was partly because many of the girls were injured and were unable to compete. The two top scoring team members, Erica Babula. senior, and Gretchen Sellnow, junior were out of meets for the first half of the season. However, they overcame their injuries and were competing by the end of the season. Coach Turner thought that the meet held at Edina was the best one of the year. The team was ranked below Edina and was expected to lose. It was the last regular meet of the season so we wanted to do well, said Turner. During the meet the score was tied twice, and Park ended up winning by two points. Athough the gymnastics team made strides toward improving the team, pub licizing the meets, and gaining recognition for their efforts, they still felt they had to keep working at it for next year Emme said. Come to the meets. They're a lot of fun. Practicing her routine on the balance beam Michelle Gross hopes to improve her overall gym nastic technique. GYMNASTICS: Front Row Kelly McBnan.

One of these pressures was the 1 ranking in the metro area that the team got from the Star Tribune at the start of the season. Coach August Schmidt was initially optimistic about the 1 ranking. At first it was a challenge to live up to. but then we got nervous and we realized we weren't mature enough yet. Junior forward David Petersen agreed with Schmidt. All the ranking did was pump up other teams more than usual because they had nothing to lose, and they wanted to beat 1. As the season went on. the team lost a few key games and they dropped in the ranking. Senior forward Ted Hartman saw this as a positive influence. We felt we had nothing to lose so we could go out and play our own game. Schmidt agreed that the fall in rank helped the team immensely and allowing them to regroup. Because we wanted to keep our pride we played up to our potential. said Schmidt. 3uard Keith Carpenter lays the ball up (or two xxnts over an Edina defender In a critical con-erence game 30YS’ VARSITY BASKETBALL: Front Row: Craig ikorheim, Mitch Erickson.

One of them was The height we had in the middle. according to Schmidt. With starters Petersen 6'7 . Phil Cartwright 6'9 . and Hartman 6'5 along with Chris Roe. 6'5W on the bench, the team was the tallest in the Lake Conference. This gave them what Peterson called the intimidation factor. When a team saw how tall we were, they got intimidated before we stepped on the court. he said. Schmidt added that defense and unselfishness on the court were big strengths. Petersen. Cartwright, and Roe were lost to sprained ankles for part of the year. The team was without Co-captain Keith Carpenter. Brian McCashin, and Hartman due to varied illness, and Co-captain Mitch Erickson was out most of the season with back, kidney, and rib injuries. However, the team had some new players to help when these key players went. These players were junior guard McCashin and Sophomore guard Lee Gold-strand. who according to Schmidt did a good job. Goldstrand said. I was happy to get the chance to play and help out the team, but I was really nervous. There was a new dimension to high school basketball this year the 3-point rule. It stated that any shot taken behind the 19'9 from the basket was worth 3 points. There were mixed feelings about the rule on the team. Schmidt said. The rule has not really helped or hurt us this season, but it made me more nervous as a coach. Petersen did not have good feelings about the rule. I thought the 3-point rule stunk, but that was probably because I couldn't make one. After 14 games, the team was 9-6 with a 5-4 record in the Lake Blue Conference. Schmidt said this was partly due to the lack of good health on team and the early season pressure. But. he added. Every good team goes through hard times and injuries at times. Schmidt felt that the South game was one of the best, as were 3 winning games played in St. Cloud in the Holiday Tournament. We beat a great pressing team in South and we just played all around great basketball in St.Cloud. Boys Basketball TRADITION upheld with style, finesse Winning was a tradition of the St. Louis Park girls' basketball team. With a reputation for sucess. pressures built up with each performance We always tried to do our best, but sometimes we felt like our best just wasn't good enough. commented Joy Aarsvold. junior. When people expected so much it added some nervousness and fears of failure that otherwise might not have affected us. While Park's reputation added pressure for some, others viewed it as an inspiration. Karlyn Beil, senior, who was new to the team this year, stated. I joined a team that already had a lot of talent, and for me that previous reputation acted more as a goal to be obtained rather than as an added obstacle. Whether it was seen as a goal or an obstacle, that winning tradition was upheld again this year. Park was one of eight teams in the Hill Murray Holiday Tournament. After defeating close rival Edina 60-58 in the championship game. Park added a first place trophy to its collection. The continuing success of girls' basketball was due to many different things. I think that one of the biggest factors of our success was the excellent basketball program for younger girls St. Louis Park developed. commented Rachel Henrik-sen. sophomore. Girls were started at a very young age and had many opportunities to play and excel before reaching the varsity level. Another tradition upheld this year was that of being a fast break team. We may not have had a really big team, but what we lacked in strength, we made up for in speed. said Aarsvold This was proven by the fact that two of the team's highest scorers were their shortest players, guards Sally Gannon, senior co-captain; and Jill Anderson, sophomore. Upholding traditions was important to this team, but how they maintained the customs was even more significant. Barb Gordon, sophomore, explained. Everyone worked really well together 192 Gvls Basketball and nobody tried to steal the spotlight or be the superstar. This year's season was an example of a complete team effort. Everyone got credit for each accomplishment and failure. Aarsvold added. Because we didn't have a specific player or aspect of the game to depend on. we had to work harder than previous teams did. I think we proved to ourselves and to disbelievers that we had enough talent to do really well. Partly because of its sucess. the team had kept the respect of its fans. Year after year Park packed 'em in . Many times, this faithful support helped Just knowing that people were cheering us on. even if we were losing, gave us a sense of accomplishment. commented Henrik-sen. Gannon summed it up by saying. Everybody should be proud that their hard work helped to continue the winning tradition of St. Louis Park girls' basketball.

They shocked the high school hockey league by being contenders in the Lake Blue conference. When hockey fans thought of Oriole hockey, they tended to think of a below .500 team, but this year was different. Under the new coach Rob Little, the team started out with three straight wins, including impressive victories over Minnetonka and Edina. Their quick start came as a big suprise to everyone but the players. Our coach helped us to believe that we could beat anyone we played. commented Chad Evers, sophomore defenseman. This year's team was different from those in the past. One difference came in the Edina game. After twenty years of losses to the Hornets, the team faced off in a game that went into overtime, and the Orioles came out with a four to three win due to Jeff Dearmin's short handed goal. We were really pumped up after the Edina game. said Jim Holtz, senior defenseman, We really started believing in each other after that. The task was even harder when the Orioles went up against highly ranked Minnetonka. The Orioles dominated the game and ended up winning eight to one. After that, we felt like we could beat anyone, and ended up not playing as hard and as well as we could have, said Evers. All teams have areas in which they dominate the game, and this team's main strengths were quickness on offense and ability to move the puck up and down the ice with everyone moving. according to Holtz. Unfortunately, if they had strengths they also had weaknesses. The Orioles, after their impressive wins, fell into a midseason slump, losing five straight games. We knew we were a good team, but we were just experiencing a let down. We should have been able to bounce back strong if we stuck together as a team. said Jason Sandberg, sophomore left winger. During the let down, the Orioles lost two tight games to Cooper and a highly rated Wayzata team. Then they lost second round games to Edina and Minnetonka. The losses were tough, but we didn’t fall apart. We just regrouped at practices. commented Holtz. As in most sports, the outcome of the game determined the length and difficulty of the following practices. If we played hard and up to our potential our coach showed us what we did right and also what we did wrong, said Evers. But if he felt we weren't playing our best we would usually do a lot of hard intense skating drills. Although it changed during the season, the team's quick start and wins over teams ranked in the top ten put the Oriole’s among the best high school hockey teams in the state. It even got them a ranking of number ten for a time. The players' enthusiastic attitudes and eagerness to be winners were evident from the start, commented coach Rob Little. We had strong play from our seniors when it came down to clutch time and all this helped us with our quick start.

It started with the School of Excellence citation but it couldn’t end there. The new principals developed new programs and scheduling to make learning more effective. Students and teachers also tried to push past perfect. As a yearbook staff, we tried to do our best also. We attempted not only to record the highlights of the year, but also the background behind the happenings. We spent many hours interviewing, writing, and taking pictures of events that affecting our year. I'd like to thank the entire staff, but especially Peggy, Jill, Scott, Anne and Sharon for all the extra time and effon they put into making this book. Va cation days spent in school, early morning phone calls, late night indexing and third copy rewrites were usual Through sickness and health, we made it through.
