We all move on, we search, and find new lives, in different places. Yet as we reach for passing stars, we’ll laugh, and shed some tears, and remember days, the crazy ways, we spent our high school years.

This dream was created four years ago when the first Viking football practice was held. After hours of practice and actual playing experience, their dream was a reality. Throughout the season, it was a time of football hysteria in Viking Country. Climaxing the week of the final game of Class A State Playoffs, parents, faculty, students and many other Viking fans hosted pep rallies and dinners to show our Vikings we knew they were No. 1. Our opponent that night was the Indianapolis Ritter Raiders, a very tough and talented team. The out- come of the evening was a very sad experience for our Vikings and fans. A 15-16 defeat to the Raiders shat- tered a dream that the Vikings tried their best to achieve. Ray Rockhill received the prestigious Phil N. Es- kew mental attitude award that evening. Even though we lost, we are proud to say, We’re Class A Foot- ball State Runners-Up.” We have al- ways known, and will continue to know, Vikings are No. 1. left Shriver.

What made this year special? It was the fads, the crazes, the styles that everyone was wearing, movies ev- eryone was seeing, and music to which everyone was listening. This was the year of boots and boot-toppers, long sweaters, and rolled-up jeans. It was the year of gauches, the layered look, and feath- ered hair. This year brought us “Star Wars,” Rocky, and “Smokey and the Ban- dit.” It was a year filled with con- certs, by Kiss, Styx, Fog hat and Nazereth. Fleetwood Mac, Linda Ronstadt, Ted Nugent and Foreigner all made impressions in our musical world this year. We rocked to Queen, dreamed with Steve Miller, and danced to the disco sounds of Donna Summer, Heatwave, and K.C.’s Sun- shine Band. 1977-78 was “the V.I.,” the Pizza Hut, and “thick and chewy's.” Whenever we got the munchies,” or had a “Big Mac Attack,” we’d rush to MacDonalds. This year we idolized the Fonze and the Sweathogs, and whenever possible we followed the plot of “Soap . Everyone dreamed of driving a Corvette or a Trans Am. Yes, these were our fashions, our movies, our songs, and our fantasies. 1977-78 was our year ... and it was today. Above Lork McGowen displays her good taste in fashion with a colorful long sweater.

We find ourselves frequently looking back on that one special moment that broke the monotony of our day- to-day routine. Many people smile as they reflect on the Prom—that magical evening with soft lights, enchanting music, and a very special person. Others vividly recall homecoming and the Olympics, which will, in the future, become an annual event at the Val- ley. Of course, the crowning of the King and Queen was also an impor- tant activity. Some remember displaying their talents in the many dramatic pro- ductions presented throughout the year, or participating in the “Viking Variety Show.” For seniors. Graduation was prob- ably the Year’s most memorable oc- casion. Diplomas were received with mixed feelings—feelings of the pain of saying good-bye to many friends and unfulfilled dreams—feel- ings of anticipation about the fu- ture—and feelings of achievement for attaining today's goal. We all treasure something—a time, a day, a moment—that was special, and highlighted all of our tomorrows. 11 Olympics Highlight Homecoming Above Dazzling the audience with her smile, Melinda Meredith is crowned Homecoming Queen by last year's royalty Sheila Shewman and Kevin Eaton while her court looks on.

Nearly 150 students par- ticipated in the five events, which included an exciting bat-race and a knee-raising tricycle race. The “Im- perial Storm Troopers” were the over-all winners, as Senior teams dominated the Thursday afternoon games. Friday evening following a con- vincing 42-8 victory over Caston, Valley fans came in out of the rain to watch Melinda Meredith and Bret Miller become 1977’s Homecoming Royalty. At midnight, the music stopped, the dance ended, and the Home- coming festivities came to a close for another year.

However, the phrase was used a bit more than usual around November 10 and 12 as the Drama Club presented John Pat- rick’s “The Curious Savage.” Mrs. Beth Barr directed the production which was set in “The Cloisters,” a very sane insane asylum. Ethel Sav- age is forced to spend some time at the asylum, thanks to her three step- children. They are all out to get the ten million dollars left to Mrs. Sav- age by their father. Of course, Ethel has better ideas for the money. Hop- ing to keep it away from her step- children long enough to start a Me- morial Fund for her husband, she converts it into negotiable bonds and “buries them. After sending each step-child on a wild goose chase, Mrs. Savage fi- nally reveals the location of the bonds, only to have them stolen. The reaction of the asylum's patients, and the loyalty they show in stand- ing by their new friend, create an amusing and, eventually, a very touching scene. Through these crazy people, one realizes that money can often turn people insane, but it can’t buy happiness. Above Bottom Row Karen Wiley. Scott Kline. Janet Bowen. Teresa Petrosky. Jim Bazini.

The foggy window to the future was made a little clearer as students were given information on the edu- cation they will need to obtain a de- sired position. Job availability, sala- ries and opportunities for advancement were also discussed during a very worth-while after- noon. “Disco Fever” hits TVHS Above Left “1 love these American week-end adventures, smiles Guatemala’s Yuri Bazini.

Presented by the Professional En- tertainment Designers World of Sound and Light the event seemed to be a worthwhile experiment. Many students attended the dance, and, even if they didn't try the new disco steps, they spent an enjoyable evening just listening to the music. Along with the lights and songs, the group provided teachers. — three young women who helped stu- dents learn some of the latest moves. They also performed two stage num- bers for the audiences enter- tainment. 17 Armed with grass skirts, shrunken heads, and lots of talent, Mr. Pace and Mrs. Yeiter bravely tackled the Broadway musical “South Pacific. After choosing the cast members in February, the two dedicated direc- tors worked with the students for eight weeks, helping them to build their characters and rehearse songs and dance numbers. By April 21, the actors and actresses were ready for the opening night crowd. Students netting lead roles were Ann Kline, who played Nellie For- bush, Jim Bazini, playing Emile de Becque, Dane Jervis, as Luther Billis, and Julie Utter, playing the part of Bloody Mary. Other major charac- ters were Captain Brackett, Chuck Hurd; Commander Harrbison, Steve Kruger; Liat, Sheila Cumberbland; and, Joseph Cable, Ricky Sitts. The remainder of the cast included Da- vid McNeeley, Tim Stokes, Scott Kline, Brett Cumberland, Scott Van Cleave, Ken Goodman, Kim Nor- man, Patty Doering, Teresa Pet- rosky, Judy Conner, Norma Knoop, Mary Dorsey, Chris Giannone, Pam Zimmerman, Gail Weirick, and Sha- ron Detwiler. Amy Kline and Mark Saner, who are far from high school age, played the parts of the children, Nqana and Jerome.

At 8:30, after a banquet dinner in the commons, the gym doors were opened and everyone entered the brightly decorated room. With flash- ing lights, pastel streamers, and a running fountain, it hardly seemed like a high school gymnasium. Cox Studio provided a scenic background for couples wishing to have their picture taken. The special evening continued with three hours of “slow dancing” music by the American Freedom Band. The Romance and enchantment of the prom were evident as the dance floor filled with couples during such songs as “Precious and Few, “Feel- ings,” and the theme song, “Swaying to the Music.” The high point of the night came when Eric Alspaugh and Vicki Ar- nett were crowned Prom King and Queen. Mark Holt and Suzanne French were chosen from junior representatives to serve as Duke and Duchess. Midnight found everyone chang- ing from long dresses and tuxedoes to more casual attire. Couples re- laxed as more American Freedom music or a movie “Uptown Saturday Night, were offered for after-prom activities. Officially, the Prom of “78 ended at 2:30, but the special memories it provided will remain forever.

This spring, the Drama Club mem- bers decided to broaden the scope of their acting abilities and attempt to present a non-musical, non-comical play. Mrs. Barr, the club sponsor, se- lected a short, one-act play called ‘‘Heritage. This hour-long produc- tion was presented May 19, in tan- dem with the Viking Variety Show, which proved to be a very profitable endeavor for the Drama Club. “Heritage used characterization, narration, pantomime, and special lighting effects to tell the behind- the-scenes story of Abraham Lin- coln and his family. The small cast consisted of Mark Shriver, Christine Rhoades, Teresa Petrosky, Dane Jer- vis, Matt Johnson, Lorie Crippen, Daphne Keplinger, Ken Goodman, and Patty Doering. As usual the “Viking Varieties” provided many laughs, tears and memorable moments for its au- dience. This year's show featured our own high school rock band, VIPRE. Julie Utter appeared with two songs that she composed her- self. The Way We Were” was dedi- cated to the senior class by Patty Doering, and Judy Conner and “Friend” performed “Send In the Clowns for the last time. In the laugh department, there was the Barbershop Quartet with their very own famous version of “Conie Island Baby,” a group of “purple peacocks,” and “Guitarzan by the Jungle 4.” The show was closed with the en- tire cast singing “May Tomorrow Be A Perfect Day,” and a cheerful “Goodnight everybody, from the MC’s, Greg Hoover and Steve Kruger. 23 Everybody Loves a Winner May 19 was a special day in many ways. It was a day of leisure for se- niors. They arrived at school late and were allowed to go home early. Emma prepared a special lunch for them, which was followed by gradu- ation practice. Then, before the en- tire student body, the annual awards program began. The top ten percent of the senior class was announced, along with the winners of State Scholarships. Robin Secrist and Mona Haag were awarded Valedictorian and Saluta- torian trophies. The recipients of the Drama awards were recognized, af- ter receiving their trophies on Greek Night. Rita Price announced the winners of the WRSW medals, which included John Ettinger, English; Jim Bazini, science; Mona Haag, social studies; Cyndi Daniel, math; and, Betsy Mathias, foreign language. Mary Ann Nyenhuis, Sherry Blankenship and Teresa Pet- rosky received journalism awards. Top left Displaying their valedictorian and salutatorian trophies are Robin Secrist and Mona Haag.

Royalty Crowned Each year the yearbook sponsors a SAGA King and Queen contest for the sole purpose of raising funds to send the next year's editor and one or two key people to a journalism summer camp. Through the fine efforts of this year’s candidates—Seniors Sherri Miller and Steve Stiffler, Juniors Su- zanne French and Darryl Peters, Sophomores Jennifer Manwaring and Greg Utter, and Freshmen Mary Lou McClone and David Leckrone— the SAGA staff will send three people to Ball State’s Yearbook Workshop in August. Proceeds from the penny-a-vote campaign netted over $450 for the 1979 SAGA. Other awards included the “I Dare You”—Patty Doering and John Etti- nger, and the “Golden V ”—Mary Beth Gast and Jeff Shriver. Students receiving scholarships from colleges were also announced on this very important day. 25 This is Where Tomorrow Begins Each year there is something very special about the graduating class. The seniors of 1978 were especially unique, as they were the first class to complete all four years of high school at Tippecanoe Valley. In the winter of '74, these students wan- dered into a “new” school as fresh- men. On May 21,1978, they marched out as adults. “I’m looking for space, and to find out who I am. And I'm looking to know and understand.” These were a few words to the class song, Looking for Space. Senior choir members sang the John Denver tune which expressed the feelings of all graduates-learning does not stop af- ter high school. There are always stars to reach, goals to strive for, and dreams to dream. Parents, teachers, friends, and classmates listened to speeches by the Valedictorian, Robin Secrist, and the Salutatorian, Mona Haag. The guest speaker for the combined Baccalaureate-Commencement ex- ercise was Don J. Odle, Head Basket- ball Coach at Taylor University. After receiving their diplomas, the graduates were given a Bible and a daisy, the class flower. Thus con- cluded twelve years of learning, growing, laughing, and crying. It also brought to a close one of the most important ceremonies of a life- time. “For yesterday is but a vision, and tomorrow is only a dream ...” Congratulations class of '78. 26 Above Superintendent Lloyd Harrell con- gratulates president Melinda Meredith upon receiving her diploma.

Seemingly useless knowledge we gain today could prove to be very important tomor- row. The academic program we set up for ourselves in high school points us in the direction our lives will take in the years ahead. Tippe- canoe Valley High School offers something for every academic need. A college prep program is offered for those students who intend to fur- ther their education. Many agricul- ture classes are offered to young men and women interested in farm- ing, and future educators often take an exploratory teaching course. Computer science is an intriguing field and many students are drawn to programming classes to satisfy their curiosity. A business co-op plan has been established for ambitious young business students, and an intensive office lab prepares those who will seek secretarial jobs. Our fine new principal is always ready to lend a hand to any student in need, and he is backed by a helpful group of ad- ministrators and counselors. Teach- ers too, dedicate much of their time to the individual attention of stu- dents and to making classroom life not only educational but enjoyable. High school academics give us our foundations. It is up to us to build upon them. 29 Above-Right—Mrs. Hoover finishes the fac- ulty's checks. Right—Mrs. Hively works hard at TVHS. Above—Superintendant, Dr. Harrell. Right—The Board Members, from left to right: Vernon Meredith, Fred Kindig, Everett Bee- son, Con Shewman, and Don Snipes. The task of coordinating the aca- demic, extra curricular, and finan- cial aspects of TVHS rests upon the shoulders of our administration. It’s the people behind the scenes, the su- perintendent and school board members, who really run the TVH show. The school board held monthly meetings to discuss important and sometimes urgent issues. The public was always invited to voice their opinion and to watch the board in action. Lloyd Harrel, our superintendent, was in charge of the school’s finan- cial, as well as business, matters. He had to keep a close eye on our entire educational situation and make sure everyone involved was doing his job correctly. Administration Coordinates School Activities The office of TVH went through some pleasant changes this year, be- ginning with Loran Skinner. In his first year at Valley, Mr. Skinner’s door to his office was always open, and students were free to discuss anything with him. Another change in the office was the addition of another counselor. Joining Mr. Welch was Mrs. Yeiter. Together she and Mr. Welch worked to place students in the classes they needed or preferred. The help and concern shown by Mr. Skinner, Mrs. Yeiter, and Mr. Welch was greatly appreciated throughout the school year. Above—Mrs. Yeiter looks, and seems to find what she's hunting for.

Many students put their study hall time to good use this year by giving Mrs. Kindig and Mrs. Gotham assis- tance in the office. Collecting ab- sence slips, distributing announce- ments, and answering the intercom would be much more strenuous for the secretaries without the aid of these young women. Mrs. Hively works hard as the su- perintendent’s secretary. Her job in- cludes typing his letters and an- nouncements, and keeping his ap- pointments recorded. The TVH bookkeeper, Mrs. Hoover, also plays an important part in the school’s office. Above—from left to right: Rayetta Bennett. Mona Haag, Jane Bach. Deb Zimmerman, Lori McGowen, Paula Howard.

The custodians load of work is not light, but they always seem to have our building looking tidy and becoming. The cooks are also hardworking individuals. This group plans, pre- pares, and serves meals to over 600 students every school day. The task of fixing nutritious and delicious menus can become complicated when the budget is limited, but our cooks always seem to manage very well. Custodians Keep School in Tip Top Shape 33 The faculty of Tippecanoe Valley was once again faced with the task of educating a variety of students in an assortment of classes. Just as a student becomes discouraged in a course, so can a teacher. There were days when everything seemed to go wrong, ... from forgetting the an- swer key to a test, to messing up a gradebook. Still, our faculty wouldn’t give up. They didn’t know the word “failure”. Above right—Mrs. A. Barr ends a busy day. Right—Nan brightens our day. Far right—Mrs. Hoyt teaches about proper nutrition.

Classes include general math, algebra I and II, geometry, analytic geometry, and advanced math. Each of these courses give students the opportu- nity to develop their powers of rea- soning and deduction. Those who choose to major in mathematics go through three or four interesting, challenging, and sometimes con- fusing years.

Students in in- tegrated science looked at all as- pects of the world around them. They worked at their own pace and got their grade accordingly. More advanced students could be found in biology. This class in- volved insect dissection and an in- tensive study of animals. Chemistry and physics classes were available to students wishing to further their scientific education. Whatever field they chose, students always found science at TVHS most intriguing. challenging to students 37 A Above—Greg Hoover receives some help from Loren Sheetz, Local Printer owner.

The Journalism class spent many hours toiling over the school news- paper. Linda Mason taught the class, as well as acting as advisor for the Runic Review. Greg Hoover was this year’s editor-in-chief. 15 journalism students learned and developed skills, not only in writing, but in typesetting and lay- out design as well. All students also attended a journalism workshop at Notre Dame and visited Akron’s Lo- cal Printer to see the printing equip- ment in action. A special state play-off issue and the traditional senior edition were two of the more important endea- vors of the journalism class. Communication, essential in 38 The English department of TVH is much more than just nouns and verbs. Along with teaching students such basics as “i before e except af- ter c, our classes offered a wide va- riety of Old English and contempo- rary literature. Speech courses are also available to students who wish to develop their abilities in speaking and oral interpretation. For some students, mastering one language is difficult enough. Those who enjoy the challenge, though, sometimes try their luck at a second language, such as French or Spanish. TVH offers three levels of Span- ish. These begin, as does every lan- guage, with basic structures and vo- cabulary. As the student progresses through the years, their abilities advance. French, also, is offered on a first, second, and third year basis. Above—Mr. Makula helps Mark Brook. Left— Tonya Morris relaxes in speech class. Far Left—Brett Cumberland is really very shy.

Journalism, English, and Speech 39 In a students academic schedule you were certain to find a business course, for the simple reason that business opens an array of doors for tomorrow. These courses were simple to those who were willing to work and face the challenge. Accounting showed exactly how the finances of a business were sum- marized. Practice sets were a major learning device and a migrane head- ache. Many tears fell before the ac- counts finally balanced out. For a beginner, typing started out as a real pain, but as the year prog- ressed, so did the typing skill. Stu- dents in shorthand experienced somewhat the same things. The person looking for a clerical career sometimes looked to OEA. The students participation in this class was the preview for what was to be expected of them in their career.

U.S. and World History include such interesting top- ics as the revolution, slavery, our presidents and the Constitution. Se- niors are required to take Govern- ment and Psychology, both of which offer their own interesting aspects. Sociology, also, is classified under the topic of history, although the course deals mainly with people, cultures, groups, and relationships. These history classes have pro- vided students with many fascinat- ing incidents such as trips to Wash- ington, Indianapolis, and Chicago, and the creation of a trial. They also have their low points, as students can recall, such as term papers and book reports. All in all, though, his- tory at the Valley is a worthwhile endeavor. Above Right—Deb Riner shows her serious side in Government. Across Right—Roy Van- dermark and Deb Severns discuss a court case. Below—Brent Rickel and Tony Ruther- ford take it easy during class.

Everything from softball to situps to swimming can be found in Val- ley’s physical education classes. With our facilities of a pool and an all-weather track, P.E. is no longer confined to “gym . Students are required to take one full year of physical education in or- der to graduate. Many students, however, enjoy the activities and enter into Advanced P.E. This class pushes students toward their fullest physical fitness potential. Upperclassmen have the opportu- nity to participate in physical edu- cation as teacher's helpers. It can be fun and very rewarding to help a younger student to achieve a goal. to the classroom 43 Below—The Home Ec. class enjoys some of their own goodies. Right-K.

Hathaway chooses the best apples for her pie. Below Right—C. Baker demonstrates her sewing project. TVH has always boasted of a fine assortment of Home Economics classes. These courses range from simple cooking and sewing to the complexities of family management and child care. While in Home Ec., a student can face burning their first batch of cookies, or completing a time-consuming sewing project. No matter what classes you choose, Home Ec. at TVH could prove to be a wise choice as you prepare for life. Home Ec—Daily Tasks’ Preparation 44 Ag—On Location Experience 45 Many young men, and women, could be found in the various agri- culture classes. Crops, farm manage- ment, agriculture math, crops and livestock II, and ag. co-op were the courses offered in this department. While in agriculture classes, mem- bers of FFA learned and developed many valuable skills which will be very helpful as they look toward their futures in farming. It takes more than just a strong back to get the most out of our land. The Valley Ag. classes are working to give stu- dents that extra plus needed to be- come successful farmers. Above Left— The real Mr. Kantner. Below Right—Brian Romine works hard in Ag. Below Left—Roy hauls some corn. Bottom Left—Greg Cumberland, Brian Adams and Larry Lipply check the soil for quality. Bottom Right— These Agriculture students check the tractor tires for wear. There is a walking goldmine at TVH when it comes to artistic tal- ents. For these students, the Valley opens up the broad world of art. Anything from pen and ink draw- ings to sculpturing can be discov- ered here. Courses offered include basic art, (which is required if a student wishes to advance) painting, three- dimension, and design. Art students exposed some of their works in the display cases this year, which was a pleasant awak- ening to our study-tired eyes. Below—Chuck Arnett thinks up something creative in art. Below Left—It can't be that bad, Mrs. Mills. Above—Renee Murray straightens a very interesting art project. Left—‘‘What are you drawing, Amy Tinkey, that can be that funny? TVH Students Study 46 Below—Greg Hoover and Cathy Welch re- ceive some pointers from Mr. Campbell. Right—Mr. Campbell instructs the band in the Christmas concert. Above— Now lets get busy, says Mr. Pace. Above Right—The choir demonstrates their singing ability. The year was very busy and ex- citing for the TVH band and choir. Together these two groups enter- tained audiences at fall, Christmas, and spring concerts. Two choir classes were formed in order to accomodate everyone. Each group practiced on the same songs and, when a contest or concert was scheduled, the two merged into one huge, harmonious choir. The band also played an impor- tant part in our curriculum. They performed at both football games and also parades. We cannot overlook the many long hours these two groups spent in rehearsing for the performances that we enjoyed so much. Both, the band and choir, added immensely to our school this year. the Fine Arts 47 Upper left—Jeff Pritchard and Jeff Hutcherson play some music for the students eating lunch.

Cindy Cavendar. Any hour of the day, you could find the TVH media center buzzing with activity. If it wasn’t an entire class working on a project, it may have been an individual student looking for research paper topics. Many students found the quiet, re- laxed atmospheres of the library ex- cellent for studying homework. Oth- ers enjoyed examining the up-to- date newspapers, or flipping through an issue of their favorite magazine. Ed LaMar, Nellie Robinson, and Pat Shoemaker were the center’s su- pervisors. They were always ready and willing to help a student find reference material, a tape recorder, or a novel for out-of-class reading enjoyment. Many young men and women sacrificed their spare time to be librarians and audio-visual aids. Their help was very much appreciated. Resources Provide Students Special students have special needs, and that is what Carry Daw- son's special education class was all about. Miss Dawson instructed her students in such areas as speech, English, math, health, and occupa- tional education. The main purpose of this special needs class was to help bring out the hidden potential in some of the slower students. Miss Dawson had to work in close, individual contact with each of her students in order to achieve this goal. Much patience was needed, as teacher and student had to go “back to the old drawing board many times. The end result, knowing that they had learned, gave each special student a personal sat- isfaction that made all the work seem worthwhile. Below-Gene Dunnick studies his multiplica- tion tables. Above-Tracy Witham reads a very interesting article. Below left—Terri Slaven and Joann Gamble have discovered a new technique for doing math. Above left- Carol Burns works steadily on her assignment. With Variety of Materials 49 There was a time when industrial arts classes were just for the men. In recent years, many young women have become interested in these areas, and have even become indus- trial arts majors. Courses like drafting and elec- tornics usually involve class projects and experiments. Graphic arts are related to the techniques of printing. Tickets, posters, and the school newspaper are just a few of the productions of the graphic arts class. —- Top Right—Don Lechrone illustrates how to use a band saw.

Above Middle—Mr. Ralston looks con- cerned. Above Righl-Mr. Neukam helps Rick Shephard with a project. Below Left—Darrell Shepherd, you get busy. Most T.V.H. boys had a desire to tinker with cars. For this reason, a majority of our male students were involved in auto mechanics. In this class, Rick Ralston gave the boys a chance to show and improve their mechanical skills. They were given the opportunity to work on their own cars or just old jalopies and put them in tip-top shape. Whether it was a tune-up, or a paint job, the Auto Mechanics class would tackle it. So, in greasy overalls, a screw- driver in one hand and a wrench in the other, the auto mechanics would eagerly meet any challenge. Supply Practical Work Experience 51 52 Companions and comrades, team- mates and classmates, buddies and chums—whatever, we’ve chosen to call them, they’ve been here. From the first forgotten locker com- bination of our Freshman year to the tearful deliverance of graduation day speeches, we've always had our friends to laugh with, and to lean on. We may not realize it, but the people we go through high school with become very vital parts of our lives. Whether he’s a close, personal friend with whom we share our deepest thoughts, or an idol that we admire from a distance, we’ll look back one day and say, Boy, I sure had lots of fun with ‘whats-his- name,’ ” or “I wonder what 'so-and- so' is doing now? We’ll remember all the friends and faces that were so important to us as we roamed the halls, ran track, or worked on al- gebra-together. Coming into high school can be a scary experience. We get thrown in with many people we sometimes don’t even know, and we’re ex- pected to learn with them. Yet, somehow after all the confusion of getting to know one another, after sharing the thrill of receiving class rings, and after dividing the tasks of popping popcorn and making change, we realize that they were much more than just “people.” These were the pals who bright- ened our day, dried our tears, gave us advice, and allowed us to be our- selves. These were our friends. 53 © 000 “It’s been twelve long years. My gosh! It seemed like an eternity! 1 remember going to grade school. I felt so small and in- significant. I always looked up to those junior high kids. They were big. I grew up a lot between sixth and eighth grades. Yep. I let my hair get long. I got my first girlfriend, and my face broke out. Of course. I lost the girlfriend after a few weeks, but 1 turned to something more important—basketball. By the time I started my freshman year, I could dribble with my elbow and dunk it with my nose. Well, maybe I exag- gerate a little, but I was good. I don’t know why the coach cut me from the team. Oh well. I got my class ring when 1 was a sophomore, so 1 had to get myself another girlfriend. I was a hard-working junior, yes sir. I bet I sold more candy bars and cokes than anyone else in the whole class! I didn’t have a date for the prom, though, so my best friend set me up with his cousin. Well maybe I should say former best friend ... Anyway—here I am. finally, a SENIOR. There were times when I thought I might not make it. but I did. It sure feels good after all these years of pushing, working, and growing to be here-to be at the top!

All previous years seem unimportant when you become a Big Senior. The last year of high school is like a lifetime all in itself. So many things are happening—senior keys, trip to Wash- ington, Capitol tour, graduation, and on and on and on. In all this confusion, it’s hard to believe that the seniors had time for anything else. But there’s somehing about upperclassmen that makes them very versatile. In every club, in every activity, and in every special event, you were sure to find a “loud and rowdy, truckin’—great group of ’78-ers. The senior pep session and the sweep of the top places in the Olympics were just two of the ways they displayed their talents and proved to the underclassmen that they really had “Senior-ority. Seniors Finalize Future Plans “Why didn’t I think about the future last year?” This can be a senior’s lament if he puts off his planning un- til his final year. Future plans should be forming all through high school. When entering his last two semes- ters, a senior should finalize all important decisions about the coming years. For seniors, one thing is a certainty —no one stops learning after high school. It doesn’t matter if he goes on to college, gets a job, or gets married; for the senior, there’s always something more.

You can pick out, in a moment, the best dressed boy, or the girl with the prettiest smile. Everyone knows which students are most likely to succeed, and which ones are the clowns of the class. Polls are taken by every senior class, and actually they’re just for fun. It seems like such an honor to see that your classmates voted for you in a certain category, and you feel a little more important than usual. Yet, as you go through your senior year, you find that you've always been important. You're a part of the puzzle which has been pieced to- gether for four years. It’s finally fin- ished ... but it never could have been done without You.

This year’s junior class set their goal at $7,500. Although they did a fine job, they fell short with a total sale of $6,393.90. The money was divided, as it is every year, between the numerous organiza- tions at the Valley. The total profit for the class was $2,439.87, which was put into the prom fund. 73 Juniors Show Diversity with Right—Early morning hours provides Tony Rickel with the opportunity to try out a new joke on his friends.

Well, it isn’t all fun as members of the junior class discovered. Selling concessions at sports events is the way juniors raise money for the prom and for activi- ties during their senior year. “The biggest problem was getting the workers to clean up after the games,’’ said Randy Shafer, who, along with Kent Adams, supervised junior concessions. Tim Stokes and Bruce Smith managed concessions at the girls’ sports events. Eighty-five percent of the junior class worked to raise the $2,500 profit from the concessions.

You’ve established yourself as an individual in the masses of high school students, you’ve become in- volved in your favorite activities, and you are no longer plagued with all the teasing you received the year before when you were just a “Rine.” Yet, you still have three years of goofing-off with class-mates, going to football games, and giving teach- ers a hard time.

Once he has graduated our of Jr. Hi., the freshman has many choices to make, such as, —Algebra of Business Math?—Pep Club or Sunshine Society?—Basketball or wrestling? Becoming involved in clubs, classes, and sports, are some of the thrills of entering high school.

Well, one freshman girl decided to go out for the previously all-boy cross-country team. That's inter- esting enough! Frosh girls also have a strange attraction to upperclass- men. Once started on this topic, these young women could think of nothing else intriguing enough to say of their class. So much for the ever-popular ninth graders!

Surviving your first year at the Valley as a freshman, (or a “mun- chy” as we are sometimes referred to as) involves these four steps: Step 1—fifty percent of making it in- volves having a little respect for your upperclassmen. Step 2— twenty-five percent is getting along well with others, which I’d say is important in whatever you do. Step 3—fifteen percent is having a little class: you know, have some couth. (? is that how you spell it?) Now, the last ten percent is of the upmost im- portance in surviving. That is know- ing when to speak and not to. Failing to do so when around upper- classmen, I’ve found, can result in such things as being set on the water fountain or more violent things like being thrown over the rows of chairs and music stands or being shoved head-first into a snow drift after a swim meet (with a wet head even). 1 guess I didn't pay too much attention to the last ten per- cent. But overall, I guess I'd have to say that being a freshman was a lot of fun. By Brett (Turtle) Cumberland 96 97 Character-molding year for freshman class The class of ’81 had many adven- tures in their first year of high school. Along with no general thrill of entering Tippecanoe Valley, the freshman class proved themselves by becoming an important part of the pep club and by volunteering for many athletic teams. They also made a fine showing in the first Viking Olympics. Class officers included Brett Cum- berland, President; Tami Walga- muth, vice president; Shelly Gross, treasurer; Sheryl Stokes, Secretary. These students helped lead their class through perhaps the most hec- tic and character-molding year of high school. It looks like a job well done. Upper Left: S.

Each year brings us glorious victories and heartbreaking defeats. This year was no exception. The prestige of building a perfect record sent our Viking football into the state play-offs. Growing momen- tum carried the Green Machine through the Sectional and Regional and on to a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Indianapolis for the State Cham- pionship. There, the Viking dream came to an abrupt halt. It was a sad occasion for Coach Smith and his crew. But this young team had fi- nally put Tippecanoe Valley foot- ball where it belongs—at the top. When a student or a fan admires the huge silver souvenir in the trophy case, he can feel no shame. He can sense only a swelling inner pride for this school and the young men who had a dream. Girl’s basketball also provided us with more thrills than ever this year, as an increasing num- ber of fans followed the female Vikes through an exciting season and a heart-thumping Sectional showdown. No matter what sport you enjoy— from swimming to tennis, from gym- nastics to basketball, from wrestling to track—T.V.H.S. athletics could satisfy your need for competition. “The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat may be an old cliche, but it still holds true in the world of high school sports. 101 €I H ingsJLccotnpXish TVHS OPP. 33 Triton 0 50 Fairfield 0 36 Northfield 0 50 Culver 0 49 Southwood 7 27 Whitko 0 42 Caston 8 18 North Manchester 7 6 Laville 0 21 North Miami Sectional 20 21 Leo Regional 15 (OT) 30 Seeger State 0 6 Indianapolis Ritter 15 THIS PAGE.

After finishing the season with an un- blemished record, the “Green Ma- chine rolled to a sectional victory over Fort Wayne Leo. The regional, too, was a TVH triumph, as the Vikes slashed Seeger’s Patriots. Both the sectional and the regional were played at the Valley field, on which the Vikings have not suffered a loss since the beginning of varsity football. The state championship game was a real heartbreaker, as the spirited Vikes dropped the big one to In- dianapolis Ritter. Some of the pain eased, however, when a Valley se- nior, Ray Secrist, won the presti- gious Phil N. Eskew award. With de- termination and pride, the Tippecanoe Valley Vikings of '77 made their mark in high school football. 103 Small in Size, Big in Heart and Spirit Advancing from junior high to freshmen football, the boys made adjustments. Starting the season with no quarterback experience, Da- vid Leckrone filled the spot ex- ceptionally well. Leading the team in rushing was Mark Yates. Towards the end of the season, the [V Vikes were used to the longer practices and season. The players did a tre- mendous job, considering they sometimes played freshmen-soph- omore teams. Coaches Glingle and See expect to see many of the boys playing varsity ball in the next few years. BELOW RICHT—Coach Glingle shouts an or- der while Coach See’s facial expression agrees.

Not pictured Coach Jane Hunn. Under the direction of a new coach, Jane Hunn, the varsity vol- leyball team bumped, set, and spiked its way to a season record of eight wins and seven losses. The talented young women put on a fine show in every match, and also displayed their abilities in the Three Rivers Conference Tourney. Southwood hosted the double-elimination tourney, and was the first to fall victim to the Vikings. Our girls, however, were unable to advance further. The spikers defeated Chuabusco in the first match of the sectional, only to lose to Manchester in their second match. In J.V. competition, the Viking girls compiled a 7-8 record. This year’s girls golf team had few participants but an ample sup- ply of potential. The young team showed much improvement over last year. Rochester Municiple Golf Course was their home green and the site of many tough matches. The girls enjoyed participating in the sport mainly because of the new friends they made while strolling over the 9-hole course. The sectional at Logansport high- lighted the season, as the girls experienced the thrill of participating in an 18-hole expedition.

The high point of the season came when the Vikes succeeded in capturing their own invitational tournament crown for the second consecutive year. The victory was not easy, how- ever, as they were pushed into tiebreaker with Whitko—a team who had earlier defeated the Vikings. The number one singles com- petitor in junior varsity tennis was Brett Cumberland. He ended the season with a perfect record of nine wins and no losses.

Ill Wrestlers “Toy” A relatively new sport, wrestling didn’t catch on as fast as other ath- letics. One reason was because so few people understood it. In their third year of competition, the team tried to increase its number. In many meets, the Vikes were de- feated only because they had to for- feit a few weight classes due to lack of wrestlers. John Ward was voted most valu- able wrestler after placing third in the Breman Tourney and second in the sectional. Rodger Toy, a Grace College se- nior, coached the team with Mr. Ig- ney assisting him. Upper left Todd Miller receives last minute instructions from Tim Leiter.

Vtkjnq Talent Shines Through After losing four of last year’s starters, the ’77-’78 basketball team had some rebuilding to do. Of course, Coach Henson had a good foundation to build on, and, as usual, created an awesome bunch of Viking Cagers. Heighth was the team’s main advantage, as most of the players were at least six feet tall. The Vikes suffered few defeats, and they were never beaten by more than ten points. This year’s Triton Tourney was, once again, a breeze for the powerful Vikings. The Sec- tional, however, seemed to be jinxed, as the Valley fell to Roches- ter in the Championship game.

Cathy Welch, an All-State Candi- date, sizzled the nets for a total of forty points. Congratulations Harmon And Company for a job well done. Throughout the season our girls entertained Viking fans with 16 wins and 4 losses. Our losses came to Warsaw twice, Manchester and Northfield. However, the Vikes came back la- ter in the season to defeat the Squires and Nor- semen. In the final game of the sectional, the Viking Girls demonstrated their true abilities in giving the (eventual State Champions) War- saw Tigers their toughest game of the year. It was a disheartning loss, as the girls dropped a one point, 53-54, double overtime decision. Above Left Going up for two is Sue Gall with Kay Hively moving in for the rebound.

Finishing the season with a fine 13-6 record, next year’s squad anticipates an outstanding season. Mike Coplen received the trophy for the highest free throw percentage.

The team showed a lot of talent and potential with Tim Conrad in the long jump and 100 yard dash. We saw Eric Al- spaugh finish many track meets with first place finishes in the hur- dles and shot put. Charles Secrist dominated the high jump through- out the season finishing it by quali- fying for the state track meet. In the polevault we saw Steve Stiffler clear the bar more than any of his com- petitors. Our long distance runners, Dave Bornmann and Darryl Peters, showed their stamina by finishing the mile with excellent times. The boys proved their talent and ability by winning the TRC with no contest and tying with Warsaw in the Vi- king Relays. 1978 Boys Track: Back Row: Coach John Parker. S. Carr, B. Jamison. R.

The skies weren’t always cloudy and a few Vikes did brighten up the season. According to Glingle, Alan Utter won every game from the mound with a school record of 101 strike outs; he also led the team with a batting average of over .400. Chalking up a batting average of .300, Tim Boganwright was credited with 29 stolen bases. Leading in dou- bles, triples and RBI's, Scott Tilden received honorable mention by Ft.

Coach Neukam also reflected that early season scores were shakey, but by the end of the season team pitching and hitting improved.

Miss Hunn. With her advice and en- couragement, our Viking gals spent their practices improving their ten- nis games. Although the season was not a winning one, most of the meets were very close and really could have gone either way. With the many underclassmen returning, our girls tennis team shows a lot of promise for next spring. 133 134 Being actively involved in a few organizations can help to liven up the school year’s daily schedule. With so many clubs to choose from at T.V.H.S., a student can’t help but find at least one that suits his interests. Students consider it quite an honor to be accepted into the Na- tional Honor Society. The Student Council is also a very commendable organization as they work hard for the good of the student body. To break the monotony of classroom life, they sponsor entertaining con- vocations, occasional dances, and homecoming activities. The Sun- shine Express again this year and a Disco dance were just a few of their accomplishments. Sunshine Society has always been known for its helpfulness and ser- vice to the community. Many Senior girls also look forward to the fun of initiating the underclassmen into the club. The Saga staff spent many hours designing lay-outs, writing copy, and taking pictures. This time spent working together often brought about lasting friendships and mu- tual respect of the co-workers. Involvement in clubs and organi- zations takes a lot of time and pa- tience. It all pays off, though, in the satisfaction of being involved with people and the fun we had working together. 135 TVHS: “Spirit and FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: T. Boganwright; S. Kline: R. Shewman; D.

She got the club fired up and ready to shout out the Viking’s battle cries. The cheers went on and on and eventually cheered our team down to State Playoffs. We may have lost the game, but the cheers went on thanking the team for a job well done. Their cheers also saw a good year in basketball. 136 Pride on Our Side” Upper left S.

Melinda Meredith thinks a show isn't com- plete without that smile for her audience. 138 Entertainment! And that's the Vikettes, the Pep Band, and the Jazz Band, and the majorettes. These spirited students worked hard throughout the year to provide entertainment as football games, basketball games, and vari- ous other activities. Nancy Yeiter directed the high- stepping Vikettes, who performed pom-pon and glove routines during the halftime of all home football and basketball games. These twelve young ladies also carried flags and accompanied the marching band. The girls spent many hours in prac- tice, including mornings and two nights a week after school. Majorettes Janet Bowen and Mary Dorsey were key figures for the marching band, emphasizing pre- cision during performances. Added entertainment was provided by twirler Renee Brucker. The Pep Band seemed much live- lier this year as young Kevin Camp- bell took over the responsibility of directing. 25 musicians made up the band. These students had the task of spicing up pep sessions and sports events. Mr. Campbell, or “K.C.” as he’s known around the Valley, also di- rected the Jazz Band. These talented young musicians gave many impres- sive performances during the year, including the spring Pop Concert. After witnessing performances by the Vikettes, majorettes, Pep Band, and Jazz Band, you may be inclined to believe TVHS stands for “Tal- ented” and “Versatile High School”—which is exactly what Tip- pecanoe Valley is!

They performed for different orga- nizations and at the Pop Concert. They practiced every Wednesday right after school. FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: T. Sanders. C. Grossman. Row 2: P. Zimmerman. K. Runnels.

They sang such songs as: ‘‘She Loves Me Like A Rock”, ‘‘Ease On Down The Road”, “The Way We Were”, “The Sounds of Silence”, and many oth- ers for which were also choreo- graphed. For outfits they had denim gauchos and vests for the ladies, and denim pants and vests for the men. The twenty-six vocalists had blue flowered shirts, while the four ac- companists had white shirts. They performed for many organizations such as the Elks, Shriners, Home Economi clubs, and many more dif- ferent organizations. They also per- formed at the Pop Concert. FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Row 1: J.

The Curious Savage” was presented in the fall, while the Broadway musi- cal, “South Pacific, and a short character play, “Heritage,” were the club’s spring endeavors. With the guidance of its sponsor, Mrs. Beth Barr, the club gained rec- ognition and prestige. Providing leadership for the Drama Club were J. Bazini, president; M. Johnson, vice president; C. Bazini, secretary; J. Bowen, treasurer; and S. Stewart, historian. Also this year, the club chose a representative from each class to serve on an executive coun- cil. Representatives included: Senior John Ettinger, Junior Dane Jervis, Sophomore Christine Rhoades, and Freshman Brett Cumberland. These students, along with the officers and sponser, worked to make the club an interesting and enjoyable experi- ence for all involved. Trying to produce a good play can be quite hectic, especially when the director is in the hospital. During re- hearsals for “The Curious Savage,” Mrs. Barr became ill and was hospi- talized. The director remarked that in her absence, “the kids really showed a lot of teamwork and stu- dent effort.” She summed up the year by saying that, “We were better organized this year, and we made a profit. We drew bigger crowds, and there was a better response toward drama. It was a great year.” UPPER RIGHT: Cast member from (he play ‘The Curious Savage are from left to right: K. Wiley. S. Kline. J.

Staff mem- bers worked hard throughout the entire year in order to put together an entertaining and memorable SAGA. The editors, too, have given 110%, especially in the determina- tion and patience departments. The process of completing a year- book is, by no means, quick and easy. Many long hard hours have been spent toiling over these pages in an attempt to preserve the 1977- 1978 school year. Staff members, and editors used study halls, lunch hours, evenings, and even a few Sat- urday morning workshops to create the Saga. As you flip through our finished product, we hope we have captured the time, the days, and the events that you will forever look back on in retrospect. ABOVE RIGHT— L.

This year’s Sunshine Society had a big change in the form of a new sponsor, Kathy Eggleston. An expe- rienced leader, Mrs. Eggleston proved to be a change for the better. As the SSS vice president, Penny Haney, puts it, “She put a lot of ‘spark’ back into Sunshine.” Perhaps some of the spark is hereditary, as her mother is also a sponsor leading the Whitko chapter of Sunshine. Joining Penny as officers were Jo Ellen Van Cleave, president, Robin Secrist, corresponding secretary, Su- zanne French, recording secretary, Chris Gross, treasurer, and Leigh Ut- ter, Chaplin. The president and vice- president once again attended a weekend workshop for Sunshine over the summer. They found it to be a rewarding and enjoyable adventure. During the John Glenn basketball game, the society sponsored a cake raffle which netted $377.00. This money was given to the Rileys Chil- dren’s Hospital in Indianapolis. Sun- shine also contributed to the Heart Fund by collecting change at a blan- ket toss. Peanut Pal week was held in the spring. The underclassmen chose a junior or senior and gave small gifts and candy to her throughout the week. On Thursday, the girls had a pizza party to learn who their pals were. The State Convention and the Ideal Ladies’ Tea rounded out an- other fun-filled year of Sunshine. 146 The Task of Over 70 girls Above left Mrs. Eggleston and Penny Haney seem amused by Suzanne French and Jo Ellen Van Cleave's toasting.

Under the capable leadership of Juna Graham, the club provided interesting and educational challenges for students enrolled in office occupation classes. Aiding Mrs. Graham in her endeavors were the officers: Jeff Shriver, president; Joy Lucht, vice president; Deb Miller, secretary; Ann Lash, treasurer; Yvonne Way, Parliamentarian; and Sheila Bose, historian. The purpose of O.E.A. is to en- courage students to improve the ba- sic skills and principals involved in business occupations. The club also provides competitive events at the regional, state, and national levels. Ann Lash took fourth place in Gen- eral Clerical at the state competition after placing first in the regional. Other regional winners included Tim Schwenk, Donna Lester, Sheila Bose, Christine Rhoades; Suzanne French, Loni Parks, Sherry Blanken- ship, Jeff Shriver, Susan Eryman, Machelle Rhoades, Carol Fawley, and Mona Haag. In the fall, the club sponsored a Bee-Line party. The money that was collected helped pay for the contest entry fees. Mrs. Graham was pleased with the club members who offered their time to participate in this activ- ity. She is also hopeful, since the club admitted underclassmen for the first time this year, that next year’s club and office lab class will be even bigger and more enthusiastic.

Helping him with his faithful duties were John Etti- nger, vice-president, and Sherri Miller, secretary-treasurer. This club viewed educational ob- jectives and worked with other members in Indiana in order to pre- pare for future careers. Elf Week was held in April. Each of the students in the club chose his or her favorite teacher and gave them crazy gifts and goodies all throughout the week. Then on Friday, they held a Coffee Hour for the teachers where they all found out who their elves had been. Summing up all the events, the FEA had a terrific year. 150 “The Wonderful World of Art” The Art Club may have had fewer members this past year, but it was still as active as ever. The reason for the decline in members was because of the time limit to pay dues. Joining Shelly Wright as president were Angel Miller, vice-president, Vicki Arnett, secretary, and Amey Tinkey, treasurer. During December, the club spon- sored a Crafts and Art Bazaar where they sold their projects to the stu- dent body. This was held during both lunch hours. The money netted went towards class trips and equipment. A trip to Chicago was held in the spring. They visited both the Art and Field Museum. Everyone had a fun-filled time. FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: S.

Lash, Trea- surer—Greg Hoover. Membership into the Society is based on individual scholarship, service, leadership, and character in school and their community. To make money a bake sale was held simultaneously on the same day at Akron and Mentone. The money that the society earns goes for scholarships for Seniors who are going to attend a four year college. Some industries and businesses also contribute to the scholarship fund. ROW 1: V. Arnett. S. Bose, S. Kline, P. Doering. A. Lash. T. Stokes. T. Long, J. Zumbaugh, R. Secrist. ROW 2: B. Meadows, K.

It’s interesting to see how many different languages can be spoken in one organization. The Foreign Lan- guage Club boasted French, Ger- man, and Spanish speaking students. Many students who join this club do so only because they are in a lan- guage class. They don’t realize the goals and objectives associated with the Foreign Language Club. The ap- preciation of art, music, and litera- ture of different cultures in one of the club’s main reasons for exis- tence. Some of the members this year ventured to the Chicago Art Museum to widen their cultural in- terests. This proved to be a very worthwhile and educational trip. 153 Media Club, Student Council Caters Opportunities to explore the li- brary work or audio visual engineer- ing work at TVHS are available through the Media Club. Through such projects as the bas- ketball coat check and cake raffles, the club was able to donate two swivel chairs to the TVH projecting room. Students participating in this club certainly contributed more than time; they took a special inter- est in both students and faculty at the high school. Media Club: Back How Sponsor Ed LaMar, T.

These young people are the voice of the student body. Not only do they make known the opinions of their classmates, but they also provide convocations and other enjoyable activities for the students. This year the student council sponsored a “Disco Dance” which proved to be a very worthwhile event. They also started the tradition of the “Viking Olympics as part of the home- coming festivities.

We’re sure that many students don’t realize that advertisements can hold memories of high school. The businesses that take our adver- tisements in our book are the same businesses in which we may have held a job. That “little extra spend- ing money we needed for the week- end was made by spending after school hours in a local restaurant or garage. Being employed provided us with valuable learning experience and gave us a sense of responsibility. Of course, we also remember the fun times and coffee breaks. If we weren’t actually doing the work, these businesses provided fantastic hang-outs where we could get to- gether with friends for a coke, or just to shoot the breeze. Our high school years weren’t to- tally devoted to learning from a book. Working at, patronizing, or hanging around our favorite busi- ness kept us out of trouble when we were away from the watchful eye of our favorite constitution—high school. 13� Chewy and Ray Secrist get ready to deliver some of the quality sheet metal and building materials from NIFF- TONE DISTRIBUTORS in Mentone.

This winter Mother Nature dumped a record-breaking 172 inches of snow on our area. This phenomenon upset the schedules of students, faculty, and administration of TVHS and surrounding high schools by providing us with a long, unexpected vacation. We found our- selves facing six, eight, and ten foot high drifts. In the 13 days that the weather kept us out of classes, we did such interesting things as scrub the rings out of our bathtubs, watch every soap opera between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., and, out of pure bore- dom, dug out old Monkees’ records and actually listened to them. We also managed to drive our parents totally crazy, and everyone was re- lieved when we could finally dig our way out of our houses. After what seemed like an eternity, the roads were cleared and we were able, and grateful, to return to school. Early this year, our nation suf- fered through months of dimmed lights and lowered heat during the 109-day coal miner’s strike. This crisis found us roaming darkened halls and wearing jackets or sweat- ers to our classes. Had this strike continued, many of our school’s ex- tra-curricular activities would have been cancelled and, eventually, our school would have been closed. President Carter negotiated with the miners for over a month until a set- tlement could be made. The coal shortage did have some good effects, as it made Americans aware of the fate we might suffer in the future if we continue to use our resources unwisely. Politics, was, as always, a major issue this year, both home and abroad. President Jimmy Carter started a controversy in the Western Hemisphere by adopting a treaty that would give control of the Pan- ama Canal back to Panama in a pe- riod of time. The nation saw both houses of Congress split down the middle, half agreeing and half dis- agreeing. Should we keep the Pan- ama Canal and lose many revenue dollars? Or, should we give it up and risk the opportunity of our ships passing through the Canal? This was one of the pressing political issues of 1978. No matter what the outcome was, we, students of Tippecanoe Valley, were indirectly affected by the Panama Canal. Bert Lance, chief advisor and most personal friend of Jimmy Carter, came under great suspicion when his private business matters were in- vestigated. This incident arouse many Americans to challenge our new government ethics. After a se- ries of hearings and many accusa- tions, Budget Director Bert Lance re- signed from the president’s cabinet. Young people are now questioning the morals of our federal govern- ment—with good reason. November found thousands of American women gathering in Houston for the biggest equality conference in history. They debated such topics as jobs, abortion, homo- sexuality, and the Equal Rights Amendment. They were determined to prove that equality for women long has been overlooked. E.R.A. was ratified in many states, and the women of Indiana can now enjoy the freedoms of equality. These were some of the events that, along with our high school memories, we will recall in years to come when we look back in retro- spect at 1978 176 Opposite Page In one of his many diplomatic affairs. President Carter meets with Liberian President William Tolbert. Bottom Roads were nearly impassable even for county high- way crews during the blizzard of '78. Above After the 109-day strike, coal miners return to work with a new contract. As editor and copy-editor of the 1978 Saga, we have tried to capture, in pictures, the most memorable events of this school year, and put into words all the thoughts and feel- ings that went along with those events. But school is not all math classes and football games. That’s why we decided to close the year- book with a crazy picture page.” In these photos, we’ve caught some of TVH's most familiar faces off- guard. Or, in other words, this is how we are normally, without pos- ing for a camera. There isn’t one student who has spent the entire year vegetating away in classes, going unnoticed. Everyone has had ample time for hall-roaming, general goofing-off, and embarrassing moments. Teach- ers, cooks, custodians, and office personnel have also had their share of fun. Our sneaky Saga photogra- phers have done their best to sur- prise these people with a “snap” when it’s least expected. “It’s a Joke” Above Right Is it Groucho Marx or Cindy Harding?

A big thank you goes to Linda Mason, our advisor, for her guidance and advice throughout the year, and to Mr. Skinner for his kind cooperation. I’d also like to thank Terry and Mike Klondaris and their excellent staff at Cox Studio for their fine photography, George Kingsley, our Herff-Jones represen- tative, and Tom Swenson and the Warsaw Times-Union for providing us with photos when we were in a bind. I must also thank my staff for sticking with me through this book, and a special thank-you to my copy editor, and right-hand person, Te- resa Petrosky. And finally, thank you, students of TVHS, for being in- volved in this school and making this year different from all the others. In years to come, as you take a ret- rospective look at this year, I hope that all of your memories will be happy ones. As members of the class of '78, my classmates and I must say our last good-byes to our high school years. We will all have spe- cial memories of friends, moments, and events that were very dear to us. I hope that this year’s SAGA will make those memories more realistic. As our lives continue, we must leave behind some of the best years and learn to hope for a better day to- morrow. Our school days will be re- lived, though, through moments cap- tured in our SAGA. Ten years from now, all the fun and excitement will seem so short-lived. In reality it was, but at the time, it was as if life would continue at that pace forever. Of course, it can’t so we must look to tomorrow while holding onto yes- terday's memories. So, as your school days at Tippe- canoe Valley reach the grand finale, I want to wish you the best of luck. Never forget all the great times at TVHS and especially this year. Thanks for the memories.
