'The Road Is Long With Many Winding Turns That Lead Us In Many Directions n SAGA Tippecanoe Valley High School Mentone, In. Volume III 1977 Election 76 ... Senior Trip ... The national election and the se- nior trip to Washington, D.C. high- lighted the first part of the year. The election was brought closer to us when the campaign brought Walter Mondale and Rosalyn Car- ter to Plymouth. Our marching band greeted them on the Demo- cratic Whistle Stop train. 2 The senior trip on October 18 took 80 members of the class to the nation's capital. While there they visited many places in and around the Washington area. First on the tour was Mt. Vernon, George Washington's home which has been fully restored. Other places visited were the Lincoln Memorial, the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, the Jeffer- son Memorial, the Capitol building, Arlington Cemetery and the Ken- nedy Center. Other pages, top clockwise, the White House, Vice-President Mon- dale and TVHS. This page, the Jef- ferson Memorial, Kolleen Bush, Mondale greets C. Norris, T. Stave- dahl, D. McNeeley and T. Long in the IMC, and Mrs. Welch watches a swim meet. 3 Activities March Forward Instead of being quiet and deserted at 3:15, TVHS almost seems busier with all of the many extracurricular activities, practices or competitions taking place. The gym is always in use and most of the time, other groups can be found in the commons or hallways having meetings or practicing. TVHS seems to offer something for everyone in the way of extra- curricular activities. With more girls sports, the sports program is bal- anced and competitive, offering both team and individual sports. During the day, clubs and groups meet and plan their various activi- ties and projects. Top left. W. Smith works out on the weight machine. Top right, ). Moore sets up to throw a pass. Above left, A.

Roads Are Opened by Knowledge And Practice There are no finer gifts than these: Good friends and happy memories The road to happiness lies in two simple principles: Find out what it is that interests you and that you do well; And when you find it put your whole soul into it— every energy and ambition and natural ability that you have. —John D. Rockefeller III 6 Life itself can't give you joy, Unless you really will it; Life just gives you time and space- r's up to you to fill it. When good friends walk beside us On the trails that we must keep Our burdens seem less heavy And the hills are not so steep The weary miles pass swiftly Taken in a joyous stride And all the world seems brighter When friends walk by our side.

Victory Highlights 76 Homecoming After bursting through a tunnel of fans, the football team exploded to a 26-8 victory over theirhome- coming foes, the Whitko Wildcats. This homecoming was the first one to be celebrated during football season and the victory held special meaning since Whitko was a leader in the TRC conference standings at that time. It was an evening full of pag- eantry, pride and ceremony.The 1976Homecoming queen, Sheila Shewman, was crowned by the reigning queen, Sara Hedington. Greg Kindig was selected as Homecoming King. The Homecoming court in- cluded Kay Earl, Cindy Yeiter, Wendy Smith, Jeff Crissinger, Kevin Eaton, and Kevin McSherry.

The class themes were “Sink Those Wildcats, seniors and winners; Cage Those Wildcats, juniors; Dreams of Youth, sophomores; and Round 'Em up, freshmen. Faces In The Crowd If you walk as a friend You will as a friend. Wherever you choose to fare If you go with mirth To a far strange land You will find that mirth is there, For the strangest part of this queer old world Is that like will join with like; And who walks with love for his fellow man. An answering love will strike. Let us then be up and doing. With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing. Learn to labour and to wait. —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Other page, top clockwise, D. Zimmerman, L. Smalley, K. Eaton, F.

The student council set up two days on which parents could attend school. With half of the students there, the parents got a better perspective of what a nor- mal school day is like. During the day, parents attended classes, tried to open lockers, en- joyed their lunch period and talked to teachers. Students and parents mingle during Swap Day. Students helped the parents survive all the difficulties the day brought. Top, clock- wise, M. Meredith joins A.

The story concerns an Irishman, Finian McLonergan, who brings his daughter, Sharon to America in search of their fortunes. Finian be- lieves that if he plants a crock of gold near Ft. Knox, it will sprout gold and he will become a millionaire. Finian obtained his crock of gold by stealing it from the leprechauns. In turn, a leprechaun named Og comes to America in hopes of re- turning the crock to Ireland since all the leprechauns have lost their magical powers and are becoming human.

Selling ads and year- book subscriptions as well as identifying all the pictures was a time consuming job. Section editors were in charge of laying out their section of the book and direct- ing staff photographers on pictures needed for each page. Chris Vogel, Steve Kruger and Mary Ann Nyenhuis were responsible for taking the necessary pictures along with the help of Terry Klondaris of Cox Studio. This year's book was enlarged to 184 pages to accomodate the newly added activities and sports and to better capture for TVHS students and friends all of the events which took place during the school year. The staff hopes you enjoy and treasure this yearbook. Swing Choir and Girls' Chorus Ciris' Chorus-First row, left to right, seated, D. Rudd, S. Miller. Standing, left to right, T. Sanders, R. Lee, T.

We won just about every game, Everyone said we would always have glory and fame. Then shortly basketball came around. And we knew the Vikings were victory bound. The sectional was soon over and done. We knew Tippecanoe Valley would still be Number 1. Before we knew it summer was here. It was the end of one more school year. We said goodbye to the teachers and books. And to the activities and all our friends, And to Tippecanoe Valley High School. £%613SH English classes were divided into four levels with the fourth year optional to seniors. English I concentrated on basic skills in writing and literature. English II was divided into semesters of lit- erature and speech. Juniors were introduced to more difficult lit- erary skills and the research paper in English III. English IV prop- ped college-bound seniors in literature and composition. r r r c PLEASE DO NOT RESHELVE Four teachers involved with helping students improve their skills were: Beth Barr, speech and English I; Don Craw, English II; Donna Swanson, English I, III and German II; and Arden McClure, English I. Foreign Languages Classes in French, Spanish and second year German were of- fered this year. Basic vocabulary and grammatical structures were taught to students in the first year. In the second and third year, more complex skills in reading, speaking and writing were em- phasized. Special reports and activities were completed to learn about the countries and their people.

This year the Valley gridders, un- der the direction of Head Coach Charles Smith had a very fine 8-2 record. This was the first year of full varsity competition and also the first year of play in the Three Rivers Conference. The only two losses came at the hands of Southwood, the eventual conference cham- pions and Triton, another confer- ence rival. The Vikings were paced by backs Derek Anglin and Dan Kol- dyke. Each attained over 1000 yards rushing (1648 and 1086 re- spectively). Most teams can only produce one back who can achieve this goal, but we had two. Since they are graduating seniors, the Vikes will surely miss them. 127 Above, the Vikings run a Power I blast of- fense. Right, D. Anglin pushes through the line for more yardage. Below right, J.

Improving with every match and practice the girls learned the fundamentals of volleyball and how to apply them for a victory. Coached by Joyce Harmon, the girls learned how to bump, set, spike and how to execute a successful serve.

The tennis team finished its sec- ond season of varsity competition with a respectable seven wins and nine losses, it was commendable since our players only have one year of playing experience com- pared to the many years most op- ponents have. The varsity squad dropped its first four matches of the season but got on track and dominated its own invitational to sweep four of five championships over Culver, Whitko, and Triton. The junior varsity record was six wins against five losses. Freshman Dan Tibbets led the way with an impressive seven wins and three losses. Plunging Into Hardwork First row, left to right, L.

The girls' swimming team started the year off with new members and a new coach, Mrs. jump. As their coach, she believed that hard work brings out talent so at each practice the girls swam a variety of sprints and long dis- tances with their own special event. Although, their record may not indicate it the girls made improvements all year. Cyndi Daniel and Ann Kline qualified for the sec- tional in Elkhart. Swimmers Break Records This year the Viking swimmers were determined to better last year's record. Through a lot of work and frustration the boys improved tremendously. All of the swimming records were broken during the year which is quite an accom- plishment. Since only one team member graduated, the team has much to look forward to next year.

At the beginning the girls lacked much experi- ence, but with determination and ability had a success- ful season. The grand finale was the championship game of the sectional when the girls were defeated by Roches- ter 64-60 in a heartstopping thriller. C. Welch won three top honors, while L.

The team highlighted their victorious season by capturing the con- ference-championship, the area track meet, the Viking Relays, the Tingley Invitational and placing 8th of 19 in the sectional. 153 With a talented group of girls. Coach Harmon and the Viking girls' track gave their opposition competition in every meet. The team won many of their meets by wide margins and lost to the defending state champions, Wa- wasee by only eight points. Throughout the season, the team members gained much spirit and poise.

The team started off with having some of the best hitting averages in the area. The team encoun- tered tougher competition as the season progressed but continued to hit well even though their inexperience hurt on some plays. The Vikings were knocked out of sec- tional play by Culver. 157 For the junior varsity baseball team, it was a rebuilding year and much inexperience. Under the guidance of coaches Igney and Martellaro, the team learned funda- mentals and techniques of baseball. Throughout the sea- son, the team consistently faced more experience and talent. |V Baseball, pictured below, first row, left to right, T. Kuhn, S. Ritchey, R. Cooper, D. Shewman, C. Kindig.

As you look through it, remem- ber the many things that happened, both good and bad. The memories of this year are many. When you look back to the year 1977 what will you remember most? It might be that TVHS sports stand out in your mind. The Valley teams made some impressive marks on the school and the surrounding communities. Maybe you won't remember the athletic events, perhaps you will remember the more romantic and touching times. Of course, there was Homecoming- the first one to be held during football season. Also, who can forget the prom- Weekend In New England ? There are many events and people to remember and most are recorded for you in this book, but there are also those times that just cannot be captured in words or pictures. For those times, you'll just have to reserve a place in your memory. I would like to thank the entire staff for their hard work and dedication. I would like to extend my thanks to George Kingsley, our Herff Jones representative, for his help and advice; to Terry Klondaris for his assis- tance in photography; to Mr. Dunnuck for his cooper- ation and to Nancy Yeiter a very special thank you for her patience, guidance and help in getting the 1977 Saga completed.
