Seniors-15 Seniors bring Skeptics have predicted for years that the senior-sponsored play would soon become a thing of the past. Dwindling crowds and less- than-dedieated cast members have been the rule rather than the exception. The class of 1985 came through with an exception, how- ever, as HDeath Takes a Holidayii was an al- most total success. Although attendance could have been much better, the staging was nearly perfect and audiences were enter- tained by a superb performance. Sponsor Shirley Smith's choice of plays was admirably suited for a cast which had both talent and stage experience. With added help from Michael Kelley, student teacher for Mr. David Stewart, she was able to put her cast through several weeks of rehearsal in life to 'Death' preparation for thc public performances. Hard work paid off as audiences were filled with praise for the cast. Audiences were particularly surprised by an exceptional performance from juniorjoe Colwell in the role of His Serene Highness, Prince Sirki of Vitalba Alexandri. He was an impressive figure as his deep voice made him a believable representation of Death on the dimly lighted stage. Other cast members included Theresa Marshall, l,isa l'earcy, Guy Clark, Eileen Heady, Elizabeth Sechrist, Emily Eckstein, Michael Stacey, Laura Kollman, Danny Cain, Steve Rubick, Shelley Ross, and Steve John- son.

Under the instruction of SAI MSG Corbin M. Davis fltetj and the Al, SFC Robert L. Malone Qlietj, the curriculum has become more classroom-oriented. The cadet, when first entering the corps, is taught the basics in various areas flnap reading, oral communication, etcj. By the time the cadet reaches his fourth year, he is in a leadership position and in some instances is teaching the first-year classes. The JROTC corps received the llonor Unit with Distinction rating for their l984f Annual Formal Inspection. This is the high- est rating possible. The extracurricular activ- ities cxpected this ycaras outcome to match last year's, when the two drill teams received ten trophies between them.

HILLTOPPER-67 'Tower' staff rebuilds The 1984-85 i'Tower7i started this year smoothly even though the staff lacked famil- iar veteran staffers. The paper this year be- gan with a smaller staff with less experience than recent years, giving this year's paper the image of a rebuilding year. To adapt to the staff changes and inex- pcrience the paper was reduced to eight pag- es, with exceptions for Christmas and the last two issues. This was a disappointment all around. Areas of the school and its activ- ities could not be covered properly but the sacrifice created a goal to work toward being able next year to go back to 16 pages. De- spite these problems of changes and exper- iencing new systems and methods the staff has grown in knowledge and experience and was able to put out a quality paper. The staff went through many changes and formations over the months. New members were welcomed on as well as others leaving. The paper regrets seeing people leave but it feels as though it has grown into a more TOP RIGHT: Photographer Brian VanBuskirk watches the action at the Na- tionalist party convention.

The people remaining have made it through a tough year--a year where at times a paper almost didnit come out, a year where people learned their limits as ajourn- alist as well as a friend and partner. The paper has covered some major events and issues this year from the changing of the school year to the laying off of teachers. lt has, as well, come out with unique and inter- esting features that represent a variety of int- crests. For the Tower to be judged against it- self in the past years would not be fair. lt has changed drastically from year to year and its achievements in design and potential value are different each year. This year's staff has had its own qualities that arcnit matched by past years and is looking for- ward to developing an even better 5'Tower,' next year.

Activities included dances, nursing home projects, various recognition days, a slave sale, and others too numerous to list. According to president Debbie Brown, the reason for the group's success was the enthusiasm of its members. Particularly en- couraging was the participation of many un- derclassmen in leadership roles. Debbie com- mented, This year the student council has had one of the most enthusiastic groups I've seen.

Indiana University graduate David Poncar took over the position on short no- tice in June 1984, a week before the sum- mer section rehearsals were to begin. Con- sidering the fact that T had so little time to prepare I was very pleased with the out- come of the maching season. Thanks to much support the transition between band directors was achieved smoothlyfi re- marked Mr. Poncar. The band basically followed the same summer schedule as last year with week- long section rehearsals and a four-day band camp at Franklin College. The marching drill written by Todd Cipson was taught at that time. As Andy Baker recalled, 'cBand camp, as always. was fun and hard iiikiiiiiiKKXNKKikiiikikiiiiiiiiikiikiii Every year brings changes in the structure and format of Howe's vocal mixed ensemble. This year was no exception. Traditionally the group is selected from members of the Concert Choir, but as a re- sult of scheduling conflicts several of the 22 members selected were not in the Concert Choir. Under the direction of Mr. Robert Bram- blett and accompanist Mrs. Lynne Morgan the group's main goal was to produce a high- quality, balanced sound. However, a new di- mension was added to the group by the pur- new and old work. Considering the heat and the many hours of practice, spirits were very high-- which is something the band had been lack- ingfi The thirteen-member flag corps under the direction of Robin Langford had a rigid sum- mer rehearsal schedule and joined the band at camp in August. Laura Kollman, a three- year member of the corps which is popularly called the Hornet Honeys, reflected on her time spent as a Honey, Mfloneys was a good experience for me and I will miss it next year. Our year was pretty good although dif- ficult at first with the new instructorf' The marching band season, which lasted through November 127s Veterans Day pa- rade, consisted of five half-time perform- ances at football games, four parades, and four contests including one hosted by Howe and the Murat Shrine. Although the ba just missed the sought-after first divisir rating at both the MMBF contest at Bu Stadium and the ISSMA district conter drum major Susan Deeter lifted spirits receiving a well-deserved Best Drum Maj Awardw at the Bush Stadium contest. Tl band also received a second place award the Bears of Blue River parade in Shelb ville. Susan Deeter commented on her ye as drum major, S'Being the drum major w a part of my life l wonit forget and t people involved are very special to me With only a handful of graduating scnio the band looks forward to a great upcomi season.

The singers prac- ticed two to three evenings a week for two months in order to perform an eight-number concert and tl1e traditional Sixteenth Cen- tury Madrigal script including a juggler and court jesters. The dinners were preceded by an instrumental quintet and the musical tal- 78-Music ent of bagpiper Russell Oberholtzer, a llowe student, made the dinners more authentic. Junior Regina Garza reflects on the dinners, t'With Madrigals being during the Christmas season it helps everyone's spirits to be brought out. ltvs interesting to celebrate Christmas as they did long agof' Although few changes are ever made in the structure of the feast, this year was an exception.

Mr. Lewis also felt that casting the show was not a problem. HWe had a lot of strong individuals this year, good soloists, and good actorsf, he added. liewis also felt that a lot was learned from the show. We learned many things about Jewish traditions, customs, their solemn re- spect for family, and their warm but off-beat sense of humor, which they amazingly kept throughout their plight with the Russiansf, Although at first liewis didnat prefer do- ing Hldiddler on the Hoofw because of its gloomy, depressing tone, it grew to be one of his favorite shows. liewis felt that 'Tid- dler on the Roofw was one of the best music- al performances ever presented on the Howe stage under his direction.

Sports-91 Homecoming Homecoming week was an eventful one as the student council and cheerleaders kept a f A full schedule of activities going all week. There were spirit and dress-up days for ever- 5 l yoneis tastes. Perhaps the most successful was stuffed animal day as classrooms were filled with a variety of fuzzy creatures. Homecoming night itself saw the fresh- man class take the float competition much to the dismay of the seniors, who naturally felt their entry was the best. Senior Natalie Ochs was crowned homecoming queen at halftime of the football game, and senior Dennis Law was awarded the kingis crown at the post-game dance. Breaking a streak of bad luck which had plagued them in recent seasons, the football team made the week a total success by de- feating east-side rival Arlington by a 33-28 margin.

Nearly every coach faced bleak pros- pects as inexperience and small turn-outs gave cause for concern from the beginning. Coach Dick Harpold's football squad faced perhaps the most difficult rebuilding job as graduation had taken most ofthe size and much of the talent from a squad which had managed only a 2-8 record in 1983. With a number of state powers on the sched- ule and no easy game in sight, the prospects might have looked almost hopeless. Instead the coaches found a determined group of athletes who worked well together and kept their spirits high as they gained experience under fire. With strong senior leadership from cap- tains Bruce Jacob and Gary Johnson and consistent play from senior Dennis Law pro- viding the example, the llornets regrouped around sophomore quarterback Derek Haw- thorne. Hawthorne proved himself one of the top young quarterbacks in the state as he passed for a school-record 90 completions and second place in passing yardage. Haw- thorne's favorite target was junior Clyde Spencer, who returned to the squad after passing up his sophomore season. Spencer, who was named most valuable by his team- mates, pulled in a school-record 48 recep- tions and was one of the state leaders with 744 yards on pass receptions. Both Haw- thorne and Spencer received all-state men- tion for their performances. Other strong individual performances were turned in by Law, who proved himself one of the most versatile athletes on the team as he kicked, ran, and caught the ball consistently well. Gary Johnson was the teamis top defensive player and also received the best mental attitude award. Jeff Wells caught several key passes and kept the de- fenses honest for Spencer. Todd Whitehead and Adrian Dozier showed promise at run- ning back. Most teams would not find a 4-6 record 96-Boys' Fall Sports encouraging, but it was a step in the right direction as the Hornets improved steadily and won three of their last five games de- spite playing one of the stateis toughest schedules. Five of their opponents were state-ranked and had records of 7-3 or bet- ter. Only powerful North Central and Perry Meridian ran away from the Hornets as the team put together a series of very respecta- ble performances in spite of their inexperi- ence. A reserve team short on numbers finished 1-7 for the season, but the freshman squad showed promise on their way to a 4-4 ree- ord. Several of the freshmen appeared ready' to move in and help next yearis varsity right away. p Prospects for next yearas football pro- gram were encouraging as the Hornets ended the season with a convincing win over neigh- borhood rival Scecina. The boys's tennis team, traditionally one of Howe's most successful squads, started their season with a new coach as long-time coach Ron Finbiner moved over to assist with the football program. New coach Errol Spears found his squad short of both num- bers and experience as most of last yearis top players, including state-ranked Greg Abella, had graduated. Only senior David Abella and David Gray had significant exper- ience. Like most of the other programs, the ten- nis team found itself facing a demanding schedule with inexperienced athletes. They managed a 6-9 Season record and defeated all of the 1.P.S. schools on their schedule except Manual. Coach Spears commented that a highlight of the season was the strong play of his sen- iors. Number one singles player David Abella reached the finals of both the sectional and the Lafayette Jefferson tournament. David Gray was seeded fourth in the city at num- ber two singles. Spears also praised the strong play and steady improvement of Jas- on Kimmell and Ron Miller at number two doubles. Coach Otis Curryis boys, cross country squad faced similar prospects as several 1 his top runners failed to return because grades and other interests. Responding the challenge, sophomore Sean lVlarcum e tablished himself as the team leader. He fi ished eleventh in the city, ninth in the se tional, and seventeenth in the region Several promising athletes competed f the other positions on the squad. Among t more consistent were senior James Willia and juniors Pete Gibson and lVliehael Hunte Freshman Scott Wright also showed pote tial as he finished third in the city freshm race. The cross country team finished with 3-7 record. In spite of the problems faced by some its teams, there were still signs of growth the Howe athletic program as Coach Da Stewartis Hornet Sting soccer club finally chieved varsity status and awarded letters f the first time. Although the team manag only one tie against nine losses in regular scheduled games, they played well and we never completely dominated by any of the opponents. Only North Central and Cath dral were able to shut out the Hornets as improved offense made the team a threat score against anyone. Senior Tom Jewell earned lVlVP hono and proved himself the team leader as he ' ways seemed to be where the action w Jon Stewart received the best mental at tude award. Junior lVlark Strykowski w named most improved.

Cheerleaders-107 Grapplers top winter sports winners After a less-than-spectacular fall sports season, Hornet fans found the winter season more to their liking as the wrestling porgram produced a combined 21-6 record and the boys' basketball teams produced some top performances in spite of injuries and a de- manding schedule. Coach Jim Arvin entered the wrestling season filled with doubts and anticipating problems. Although Bruce Jacob had reach- ed the state finals as ajunior and several oth- er experienced wrestlers were returning to the squad, jacob began the season with a broken wrist and the experienced wrest- lers were primarily sophomores and juniors facing many of the top wrestlers in the state. ln addition, long-time assistant coach Jerry McLeish had transferred to Attucks and Ar- vin was faced with the prospect of being the only llowe teacher on the wrestling staff. Fortunately, the problems never became as great as they might have and the season was spectacularly successful. With the help of llowe graduates Robbie Jacob, Russell Byrd, and Dana Craig, Arvin molded a varsity squad which was fourth in the city and finished 8-3 in dual meets. The reserves finished 6-2 and also placed fourth in their city tournament. A talented fresh- man squad finished 7-1 and placed second in the city. A list of individual accomplishments would be almost endless as nearly everyone on the squad did well. Senior Bruce Jacob was voted MVP and finished second on the all-time llowe list in career wins with a 73-26-1 record. lle added a sectional title, although he failed to reach the state level this year. Seniors James Foster, Bob Wiese, and Wayne Elliott also closed out their ca- reers. Perhaps the most impressive part of the varsity record was the fact that it was ac- complished with underclassmen in key posi- tions. Ten of the thirteen weights were nor- mally manner by underclassmen. juniors Mark Cleary, Bill llolliday, Ron Crayson, Dave Vespo, and Steve Milligan showed 108-Boys' Winter Sports promise of becoming one of Howe's stron- gest senior groups next season. Sophomore Butch lletree and freshmen Brian McDonald and Rod Marcum were also impressive in spite of inexperienee. With many lettermen returning next year and outstanding reserve and freshman teams to build on, the outlook for next year prom- ises even better results. Although thc boysf basketball teams couldnit quite match the records of the wrestling teams, they also performed excep- tionally well at times and showed flashes of brilliance. Coach James Thompsonis varsity squad, which had started the season with al- most no experience after losing a large senior group, developed slowly but turned in some top performances during the season. Because the football play-offs forced Warren Central to postpone several basketball games includ- ing the llowe opener, the Hornet squad was forced to open late against teams which had already played several games. The result was three straight losses before the squad split their next two games and then rolled off a streak of seven straight wins. The seven-game winning streak was cli- maxed by a nearly perfect performance against top-ten-rated Manual in the city tour- nament. No team could have played better than the Hornets did in their 82-77 victory. Unfortunately, the streak was ended in the tournament finals against Cathedral as some controversial calls took the momentum and the lead away from the Hornets late in the game. The Hornets were never quite the same after that as injuries, inconsistency, and lack of confidence plagued the squad the rest of the season. They won only three more games and finished the season with an 11-12 record. Although the record was disappointing, there were some excellent individual efforts and the future looks good. Senior Charleston Bowles, who received the prestigious john Elliott Award for most improved player, provided outstanding leadership both offen- sively and defensively. Junior Clyde Spencer was an excellent rebounder and shot-bloc er. Both Bowles and Spencer were name first-team all-city tournament players, an Bowles was named to the coaches' all-cit team at the end ofthe season. Senior Hand Fields improved steadily throughout the se- son and received the best mental attitud award. Senior Thomas llindman provide strong relief and started several games. U derclassmen Jerome Gibbs, Darron Crow4 James Smith, and Mark St. Martin showe promise but lacked consistency. Coach Kevin ,Iohnsorfs reserve squa played hard but never quite produced as we as expected. They finished with a 3-16 re ord. llowe graduate Ron Lawson handled talented freshman squad which finished 10- against top competition. The squad was le in scoring by ccnterfforward Devin llav and guard john lidmond. Several of th freshmen were elevated to the reserve squa at the end of the season and Davis w' narned to the varsity roster for the section' tournament. Un a less positive note, the boysf swii team finished with a winless record. Aftc last yearas city championship team was dec mated by graduation, few went out for th squad this year and the team ended the se' son with only three members. New coac Melinda liumschlag was forced to forfeit th relay events and the team simply couldn score the points needed for victory.

Senior distance runner Alberta Campbell continued to dominate city runners as she became the first female runner to win back- to-back city titles in cross country. By estab- lishing an automatic record at the new 4,000 meter distance, she became the owner of more school records than any other female runner. She now holds individual records at all distances from 800 meters on up and was a member of the 1,600-meter relay team which set a school record in last yearis state track meet. ln spite of inexperience the girlsi team finished with a 12-7 record. Sophomore Kim Ferrell gave Campbell good support as num- ber two runner. Junior lilva Keaton, who was named most improved runner, held down the number three position. Juniors Cari Cavin and Penny Pennington, sopho- more l.ecia Keaton, and freshman Cassandra Crowe held down the other spots on the team. Coach james Perkins was particularly complimentary to Penny Pennington, recipi- ent of the best mental attitude award, for her dedication, determination, and good ex- ample for his younger runners. Continuing its domination of the city meet, Coach Steve Dunlapfs swim team brought home another city title behind the leadership of Kristy Dunlap, who broke her own city point record in diving. lfrcshman Michelle Williams was city champion in the 50-yard freestyle. Junior Michelle Hayes lin- ished second in the city diving competition and became Howe's first qualifier for the state swim meet with an excellent sectional performance. Several school records were broken as senior Beth Staley added a new mark in the 100 freestyle and the medley relay team of Williams, jill Stewart, Staley, and jennifer Bonar also established a new record. Coach Dunlap predicted a good future for his swimmers as his young competitors showed more talent than any previous team. The young squad finished with a 6-7 record against strong opposition. liven the best of teams has a down year. l 18-Girls' Sports An inexperienced volleyball squad struggled through another losing season and finished with a 3-16 record. The reserve squad did not fare much better, finishing 4-12. Coach Alice Purvis complimented her squad for their attitudes and hard work. She noted that Jenni lludelson, Shunte Sanders, and Carlisa Turner were good hitters and l,ynda Ward, Chevene Bridgeforth, jane Bussey, and Kim Pritt were good all-around players. She also mentioned that sophomore Stephanie Oleksy showed great promise as a hitterfsctter. The golf team, although finishing with a 5-6 record, showed promise as Coach Joe Vollmer continued to mold inexperienced golfers into a competitive team. Senior Deb- bie Brown established a nine-hole record of 42 and was named most valuable. She grad- uates with Howels all-time best career aver- age. Senior Natalie Ochs, who was named most improved, became Howeis first regional qualifier in grlsi golf. Sophomore Kathy Schwedler received the best mental attitude award. The winter season saw Howeis once- proud gymnastics program in deep trouble. New coach James Price, an excellent teacher, found the twelve who signed up quickly down to three participants after a few days of practice. With only three athletes, each one had to participate in every event in or- der to field a team. No one could specialize and do her best in an event. The high point of a winless season was the performance of talented freshman Dana Kees, who was named MVP. Junior Michelle Hayes received the best mental attitude a- ward. With the start of the basketball season, Hornet fans saw one of the most outstanding performances ever turned in by a Howe ath- lete. Senior guard Natalie Ochs surprised al- most everyone by leading central lndiana in scoring with a 26.6 average which broke ev- ery school rccord and ranked her fourth in the state. She broke the school single-game record three times and had a season high of 47. ller total output was 479 points in 18 games. She led the Hornets in every statisti- cal category. ln addition, she was the top vote-getter for the all-city team and ranked in the top five in the city in every category. She was invited to all-star team try-outs and was considering scholarship offers at dead- line time. Obviously, she was selected both MVP and most valuable senior. As for learn accomplishments, the Hor- nets were not expected to do particularly well but surprised everyone by finishing 11-7. Seniors Tracy Price and Shunte San- ders both performed well as role players. Price was the teamis second-leading scorer and Sanders provided outside shooting and rebounding off the bench. Newcomer ljlva Keaton developed into one of the top defen- sive and rebouding centers in the city in her first year of play. Freshman Tasha Price took over point guard duties and showed flashes of offensive brilliance. Freshman Chelsea Hudson, an excellent jumper, be- came the fifth starter late in the season and showed that she is one of the best shot- blockers in the girls, game. Freshman Dana Ochs and sophomore Kim Pritt also provided bench strength and gained invaluable experi- ence for next season. The high point ofthe season for the team was probably a 60-59 loss to top-ranked Warren Central on the llowc floor. Although the defeat broke a 27-game homeeourt win- ning streak, the Hornets put forth their best team effort of the season and proved they could play with anyone. A second highlight would have been a heart-breaking 53-51 loss to city champion ltoncalli, one of the state's top teams, in the finals of the Beech Grove sectional. Only a last-second driving shot by Honcalli senior Susan Hoereth kept the game from going in- to overtime with the llornets playing well and momentum seeming to turn in their favor. Coach Otis Curry commented frequently throughout the season that he had enjoyed the 1984-85 season much as any because his girls had performed exceptionally well for a young team and there had been no pressure. llc ended the season with a gleam in his eyes as he spoke of his team's future with exceptional talent returning for next season. All in all, it was a good year for girls, sports at Howe. Q 4 . . 1 Q J 9 A. e Q- Q is .1 v , . . aff tt, u .' 3 v-62 I W sf fee: Q I Elm..

The School in Action-135 'Hilltopper' problems continue Sixty-five pages of unfinished yearbook stare at me from a table where they wait un- til I can find a way to finish them. For the seeond year in a row a staff has wasted un- told hours and simply abandoned page after page at the end of school with no regard for responsibilities. Work which could have been finished in three or four days by a few kids working together sits there waiting for some- one else to start over from the beginning. Only a miracle or some willing workers will finish it, but my belief in lniraeles is almost gone and the room is empty day after day. A student activity is a fragile thing. liver- ybody wants to join a winning team, but teenagers desert very quickly if the record is poor and even the best of programs can fall apart almost overnight. Losing becomes a habit because it brings losing attitudes which don't disappear easily. After three straight years of late yearhooks. l'm not sure the los- ing attitudes can be overcome. lrlowe High Sehool isnlt alone in this re- gard. Publications programs are in serious trouble in city schools across the country. Prices are up and sales are down as inflation drives production costs up each year and teenagers find more exciting places to spend their money. Staffs are smaller and often less dedicated. Missed deadlines are frequently the rule rather than the exception. News- papers cancel issues and yearbooks ehange delivery dates trying to survive. Some schools caneel their publications programs entirely when it no longer seems possible to keep them going. Yearbooks are usually first to go for numerous reasons. After forty-four years the uHilltoppcr is fighting for its existence. lt wonlt survive un- less student body, parents, and faculty want it to survive and give it the support it needs. just how close it eould be to dying was brought home foreefully a few days ago when a sehool staff member asked me why l didnft get the yearbook finished. l won't de- scribe the explosion which followed because someone too-naively throught it was the ad- visoxfsjob to perform studentjobs. For the lady in the office and the others who donit understand what a yearbook is and for those who do understand and ask me why l keep at it year after year, this is a yearbook as l see it from the inside after eleven years as advisor: A yearbook is notjust a picture book or a memory book or a service to the school or any of the other functions it might have. A yearbook is, first of all, a student aetivity-F a place for students to have fun and learn some very valuable lessons. More than any 136-Closing other activity, it reflects the student body with all its strengths and weaknesses. It is produced by students, for students, and a- bout students Qand about teachers too, of course, but mostly about studentsj. An ad- visor ean help out and can fill in the gaps of any given year, but thejobs have to be done mostly by students or the program wonit survive. An activity -- that means doing things. The big difference from other activities is that this one has a tough goal-putting together a book about people in action. It can be lots of fun but it eanft be all fun or the goal is never quite reached. Putting together a book means putting aside differences and working together Qawfully hard for lots of kidsj to reach that goal. lt means doing things on time and meeting deadlines set by strangers in a printing plant in a small town in Missou- ri. lt means doing things now just to get something months from now. Lots of nice kids just can't do the job because they ean't handle long-range goals without someone constantly reminding them of work to be done. It means even more than that because ev- erything in a yearbook depends on someone else. There is nothing to put in a yearbook unless you ean get it from other people who donit really know much about a yearbook or understand how important it is to have in- formation when you ask for it. lt is so easy for those people who donlt understand to put your request aside for later and forget a- bout it. It is just as easy to put aside having a yearbook picture taken because other things seem more important. Unfortunately. one missing picture leaves an awful gap in a year- book and one piece of missing information or one person who forgets is enough to make you miss a deadline. One missed deadline is enough to give you a late yearbook. A late yearbook means declining sales, fewer new staff members, more late yearbooks, more declining sales and on and on and on. Missed deadlines are nothing new. Kids have always gotten behind in their work and probably always will. The big difference is that slowness and missed deadlines are ae- cepted now. Kids used to work themselves half to death to make up for missed dead- lines. They don't now. lVlost of them donit even make excuse for missed deadlines any longer. As for missing yearbook deadlines, there really arenlt any immediate consequences. Grades don't truly motivate a person who isn't motivated already. The same people who missed deadline after deadline will walk down the halls with the same number of friends they had before their yearbook was late. After all, sitting through classes with the promise of doing the work later or tak- ing the eourse over in summer school is too often the accepted pattern anymore. It wonlt be until years later that poor work habits and complacent attitudes take their toll in opportunities and promotions lost. l was almost amused by an article in the last 'fTower of the sehool year which asked members of the student body if there should be some punishmentfeonsequences for a late yearbook. The responses were unanimous in saying there should be. As often l have wanted to 'cpunishi' those who haven't done their jobs, I haven't found a practical way. Of the five people who had the nerve to take a yearbook period the fall semester after two late yearbooks in a row, three were no lon- ger enrolled at Howe by midway through the second semester. Their places were taken by two freshman volunteers who tried to learn their jobs under the pressure of being far lie- hind already. lronieally, of the students quoted in the 4'l'owcr none had offered to help out and, as far l know, none had even ordered a yearbook. l'unishment, it seems, consists of refusing to buy a year- book and probably forcing its destruction rather than supporting it and helping it to survive. There has been no shortage of people ask- to help the past two years. Unfortunately, many of them have not been good prospects for various reasons. It takes a special kind of dedication and the ability to work in long- range terms to be a good yearbook staffer. The only way to see whether a student has those qualities is to give himfhcr a chance. lf a staff member later quits or fails to do the job properly, someone else has to take over his job. We have had far too many who have joined for a short time simply to disappear for more-glamorous aetivities with others forced to piek up jobs they had begun. There is a type of person l call a njoinerfi lle joins every aetivity in sight trying to find something he ean do. When he finds he ean't fit in, he drops one activity and goes on to something else. A yearbook staff gets more than its share of this type. Most of them want to be photographers. it seems, because photography seems to be easy and is a good way to get in free at a football game. A few of them have taken pictures with instant cameras. Some have held a 35 millimeter camera for a few minutes and know which direction to point the lens. Others admit they know nothing but want to learn. All of hem have the mistaken idea that photogra- ihy is easy. They have been so misled by ads or antocxposure, autofocus cameras that hey think the camera does everything in- :luding show np for the picture session, ress the button, and develop the film after- vard. linfortunately, we don't use automat- e focus or automatic exposure cameras and haven't seen one yet with automatic re- 'ponsibility l'hotography is a demanding, vercrowded profession with few job oppor- unities and hard work far outweighs the Ilamor. ln a normal year I have at least a dozen 'tndents who ask to take pictures for the fearbook. One of those might work out in a food year. ln a bad year none of them will fork out. The past two years have been gen- :rally bad ones. A few kids have shown romise but most of them have lacked the -elf-discipline to learn photography and the esponsibility to meet assignments. The pres- snt staff has two promising young photog- aphers, but there is always room for more hotographers on a yearbook staff. Many of the offers to help have been vasted because there is very little anyone :an do to help unless he has a yearbook per- od. Nlost jobs on a yearbook staff require raining which canit be picked up in a hurry. fone of the jobs are very difficult, but here isnit much an untrained person can do -xcept sort album pictures or write copy. The album should be finished before Christ- ias and there haven't been too many offers o write copy. It also takes a certain amount of academ- e ability to do yearbook work. Although ew of the jobs are difficult. all of them take asic intelligence and the ability to make de- :isions quickly. lfnless a student has special alents, we canit take a chance on a person vho isnit performing well in the classroom. ilassroom performance is still the best indi- :ator we have of how a student will handle earbook responsibilities. Scheduling yearbook staff has been a tre- mendous problem since l.l'.S. went to the 'even-period day. Since l978 every piece of ype used in the ullilltopperii has been set in a very sophisticated type composer which equires several weeks of training for a stu- ent to use it properly. The best typists in 'ehool have been in work-study programs nd haven't had room in their schedules for 1 yearbook period. With our system, the vorst thing which could happen is to lose a ypist because typists 4-imply canit be re- laeed during a school year. That leaves the dvisor as the only other person in the 'chool who can use the composer. It the ad- isor is forced to become an emergency typ- st, every other part of his job becomes near- ly impossible and every aspect of the year- book suffcrs. A young staff. particularly, needs extra help which they canit get if the advisor is tied up in other-jobs. This is perhaps the last traditional year- book to be attempted at llowe. Copy has al- ready been cut drastically because good writ- ers have-n't been available or willing to com- mit themselves to a long-term project. There aren't too many ways of making the job any easier. The few remaining ones will be tried this coming year. lf they don't succeed, a yearbook may become a thing of the past at llowe as it has at many other urban schools. Most of those changes will involve further use of computers. There are now computer programs available which will make it possi- ble to do every layout for an entire book in one evening. The endless hours of drawing layouts and filling out company forms will be a thing of the past. The computer will al- so replace thc type composer as we will be- gin to send type to the printer on computer disk in much the same way as the Towerii has for the past two years. This method will give us the advantage of better proofreading a computerized spelling checker program will virtually eliminate misspellings and ty- pographical errors. lu order to streamline our operation even further, student pictures are being taken much earlier than usual to provide extra time to put together the album. With earlier picture dates much of the work can be com- pleted a month earlier than in previous years. Many of our scheduling problems will al- so be solved Mr. Bruce Heck has taken great pains to move the yearbook period to a spot in the schedule where it no longer con- flicts with certain courses which compete for top students. Students will now be able to sign up for yearbook on a half-period basis opposite their lunch period. A number of very capable hand-picked students have al- ready signed up. None of this will do any good without student leadership. Unless a yearbook is im- portant enough to the student body, the publication will die a natural death from lack of interest. Students must be willing to provide the ideas and do the work, and they must be willing to support the book finan- cially. A yearbook staff should not have to sell candy to raisc funds as staffs at many schools do, and yearbook prices should not be driven up past twenty dollars as they have been at many schools. lf every person in the school bought a book, prices could be re- duced rather than raised. The student body can do their part to help the yearbook staff by having the confi- dence to order yearbooks early. For years it has been a sort of game on the part of many students to force yearbook staffers into beg- ging them to buy. Many have simply planned to wait and see if their pictures appear e- nough times to satisfy them. This has forced yearbook sales campaigns to last longer and longer and has taken vital time away from yearbook production. Unfortunately, sales resistance the past couple of years has caused us to order too many extra books on speculation rather than cut the size of the yearbook as we should have. Missed dead- lines and the resulting lateness have left us with unsold books and we are in serious financial trouble. The two main goals of the llilltopper staff must be financial solvency and meeting deadlines to re-establish credibility. We must keep the book as simple as possible and we must order only the number of books we can afford. Those who wish ycarbooks must order them in advance rather than waiting to see whether their pictures appear. There will be no extra books available in the spring. ln addition, we may have to reduce the size of the book if sales do not improve. lfinancial stability is far more important now than the size of the yearbook. l personally feel every student and facul- ty member has a reason to buy a yearbook. Some of those reasons may not be obvious for years, but hardly a week goes by wht-nl don't have a call from someone wanting to locate a copy of an old yearbook. X ery rare- ly can l be of help because the books have disappeared or been sold off or destroyed. ln my own case, l have copies of every year- book since l started teaching at llowe and refer to them frequently. When l began writing, l said something a- bout the people who ask why l keep trying to put out a yearbook year after year when it gets harder to do it each year. It has some- thing to do with the same reasons l buy a yearbook myself and something to do with what a yearbook is--a student activity, a scr- viee to the school, a memory book. and all the other answers. My chain of thought took me back to an experience several years ago of sitting through the funeral of a student. lt was the largest funeral l had ever attended. l remem- ber being the only teacher there and being shocked at how full the church was because he had been a quiet kid and hadn't made a big impression on anyone at school. l re- member sitting there listening to all the things the minister said and thinking how little l or anyone else at school had known the boy. lf remember seeing his name added to the loss list in the teacher workroonl a few days later with the simple explanation dee:-ased.7i A yearbook picture brings back Closing-137 lots of memories. Sort of at random l thought of the num- ber of times in elven years that l have been contacted by a parent wanting pictures of a child who had died. The last time was just this spring. Sometimes l could help. A lot of times I couldnt My mind wandered again to my first year- book staff in 1974. l thought of all those kids who took on the nearly impossible task of putting together a yearbook with the schoolis first late yearbook facing them from the previous staff. Teresa, and Candy, and Phil, and Glen and all the others whose names l can't quite remember without look- ing at the yearbook. fiutty kids who would- nit be defeated. Phil taught me to love the darkroom and Glen was probably the best student photographer in the country when he graduated. The years after that are filled with names and memories of kids who left a record in the yearbook if nowhere else. Steve, who could do anything and took pictures when he had the time. Janice, the athlete-editor, involved in everything. Tina and Leslie, who never became editor but always came through when everyone else failed.

The '79 book one of the best in the country. The '80 book my favoritie. Lori, the cheerleader-editor. Tom, a first-year staffer as a senior, the one who got things finished. jim, the football player who loved to write. Twin editors in '8l,. Jackie and Wendy and Nanette and the support of the Skaggs family. A Christmas card from a mother thanking me for helping teach her daughters the value of hard work. The Davis sisters, Barbara and Sheila. Eileen, who ac- complished everything as a freshman. Photo- graphing weddings for former staff members. And the list could go on and on and on. Or the others who never thought ofjoin- ing a yearbook staff. The ones l canlt forget. The pictures l look at when I want to re- member something. Tom Marendt, the All- Ameriean football player who never gave less than his best on or off the field. Rick Me- Kinstry, the basketball player with the soul of a poet. Mark, the football player who has never stopped reminding me that he de- served an A instead of the B+ I gave him one six weeks in an English class. Alberta, who became a champion in spite of the odds. Natalie, playing until she was ready to drop by halftime and then playing as hard as she could the rest of the game. Or all the teams and coaches who keep at it win or lose. Dick and ,lake and Arv and james and Otis and all the rest who know the value of competition and never giving up. Or the hundreds of teachers who have come and gone in 19 years, most of them teaching because they enjoy kids and want everyone to have a better life. Or the faces in hundreds of classes which blend together in my memory. The thou- sands who have passed through in 19 years. The faces I pass in the hallway every- day. Names and faces I recognize but never quite put together until l see them on a page. Ur the thousands who came and went long before that. The old-fashioned pictures in old-fashioned books. People behind the pictures who made this school different from the others. l guess l keep doing it because no one de- serves to be forgotten. fill. D.
