Tipecanoe Valley High School Mentone, Indiana 46539 (Volume V, 1979) Morning has broken like the first morning, Black bird has spoken like the first bird. Praise for the singing, Praise for the morning, Praise for them springing fresh from the world. Sweet the rain’s new fall, sunlit from heaven, Like the first dew fall on the first grass. Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden, Sprung in complete- ness where his feet pass. Mine is the sunlight, Mine is the morning, Born of the one light Eden saw play. Praise with elation, Praise every morning, God’s recreation of the new day. Cat Stevens Opening-3 Gon-na find my baby, gon-na hold her tight, Gon-na grab some after- noon delight. My motto’s always been When it's right, it’s right,” Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night. When everything’s a little clearer in the light of day, And we know the night is always gonna be here anyway? Thinking of you’s working up my appetite, looking forward to a little afternoon delight. Rubbing sticks and stones together make the sparks ignite, and the though of rubbing you is getting so exciting, Sky rock- ets in flight, Afternoon delight. Started out this morning feeling so polite, I always thought of fish could not be caught who didn't bite. 4—Opening But you got some bait awaiting and I think I might like nibbling a little afternoon delight.

And I just have to go to the pancake House to meet the gang.” “And after that?” “I’ll go to the school’s parking lot and have a little celebration.” “You really wouldn’t do that so early in the morning, would you?” “It is the only way to fly, espe- cially if it is your first time off the ground.” “If you do that, you probably won’t even enjoy yourself a bit!” “I’ve enjoyed myself that way before.” “It’s up to you. JUST DON’T sit by me, okay!” Above is just one of the many conversations on Monday, October 16, the day before the BIG DAY. For some, Monday was the start of a long day that would probably end some time late Tuesday evening. 10—Senior Trip As in years past, the SENIORS gained altitude, while others got ex- well worth it. took the TRADITIONAL D.C. trip, tremely ill.

To work off any calories we gained through lunch, they had an one-and-a-half mile jog to the top of the Arlington National Cemetery to see the changing of the guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Solidors. They wound up an hectic day at the Lincoln Memorial. This is just on the many times to be caught and re- membered by the SENIORS OF 1979. They arrived back at the high school at 9:00 p.m.. The SENIORS would like to thank our sponsors for their guidance through out their four years here at the VALLEY. Senior Trip—11 Second Annual • Homecoming Olympics Once again in the Tippecanoe Valley High School, everyone was ready for the 1978 Homecoming festivities. It was an exciting time, and as usual the Annual Viking Home- coming Olympics were held. All stu- dents got involved as they formed teams and competed in many differ- ent races. Huntington College Rep- resentative, Tom Roy, was the Mas- ter of Ceremonies.

The Fuzzbusters, a soph- omore team, came in close behind with 13 points. The Olympics were very successful and enjoyed by all. This year our school decided to do something different. Instead of hav ing float competition, classes and clubs displayed their spirit and sup- port with banners. The classes and clubs were in separate divisions. The sophomore banner won the class competition with the theme “We're Hot Blooded, Check it and See for a Victory. There was a tie for the club division which included the Art and FFA clubs. A prize of $25 was given to the winning soph omores, and both clubs split the $25 that was given. Completing the eventful home- coming festivities, the Vikes played Whitko and captured a Home- coming victory by a gigantic margin of 40-14. The King and Queen race between Seniors is always something to look forward to Chosen as the Queen and King for 1978 were Angie Ooley and Darryl Peters.

Homecoming-13 Mrs. Savage The lights were lowered; the small but lively house quieted quickly. This was the setting for the fall play. The Savage Delimma”. Directing the cast for another excellent show was Mrs. Beth Barr. The play was set in Boston in an institution called the Cloisters. Mrs. Ethel Savage, por- trayed by Roni Baker, found out that she could not cope with the outside world. After returning from Russia, Mrs. Savage was mugged in front of a church. So she decides to return to her friends at the Cloisters, applying for the job of the cook. To much of her surprise, no one remembered her, and the Cloisters were at the end of its financial rope. The institution was invaded by two hippies, portrayed by Matt Johnson (Al) and Kathy Vogel (Jeanie), demanding money from all of the patients, Mrs. Savage corner 14—Fall Play Left Checking to see Al’s flesh wound is seri- ous is Doc.

Her share woud go to the Cloisters to save it. A1 goes to a campus riot to collect the loot from Samuel Savage. But as he arrives, there are ten students carrying green duffel bags which contained the money. He did not have much time be- cause the riot was being raided by the police, so in hesitation he grabbed the closest bag and escaped over the wall. As he was escaping through the campus, he was shot at and hit in the posterior by a girl snipper. He then returned to the Cloisters with the green bag. Fortu- nately it was the right bag and the Cloisters was saved. Full Play-15 On November 14 Tippecanoe Val- ley High School once again held its annual Swap Day. Excitement filled the air. People rushed around hur- riedly trying to get to class before their 5 minutes were up, because if they were late they would be tardy. It was certainly a day to remem- ber, as far as parents, students, and teachers were concerned. The par- ents were having trouble trying to get lockers open and trying to find where their next class was supposed to take place in the building. Stu- dents ended up being late to class af- ter helping the parents find books and all the other things that one might need to be prepared for their next class. The students seemed to enjoy the day, even though they had to be nicer than usual. They even got a few laughs along the way. As for the teachers, they found the day quite interesting to finally meet some of their students' parents. It was quite a challenge to find out how much the parents could re- member and to see how much they had forgotten in the years they had been out of school. For some of them, it brought out how they had missed going to school and how much they wished they were back in school working frantically on their homework assignments and wor- rying about who was going to ask or to be asked out for a date. 16 Opposite pg.

They included Horseshoe Pitching, Trampoline, Champions, and coming back for the last 3 years was Sunshine Express. The money that we received to hold these con- vos came from the candy and coke machines in the commons. It was $190.00 for Sunshine Express, $125.00 for the “Champions,” $100.00 for Trampoline, and $125.00 for Horseshoe. There were two con- vocations that were cancelled. One was Air Aces Three which included Above Center—Sunshine Express boogies to their music. Above—K.C. enjoys gettin' down with one of the ladies from Sunshine Express. Right—Mike Bryant captures everyone’s attention Frisbee throwing. The other one was a hypnotist. Dan and Sue Ku- chcinski are a couple, and have been the World Horseshoe Pitching Champions for three times. They did various tricks and stunts with Sue's ability and talent as an acrobat, and Dan's skill of pitching horseshoes. They have travelled throughout the United States and Canada and also appeared in Japan. They were on many national television shows, too. The Campus Life Club sponsored a multi-media presentation called the “Champions on December 6. In this convo the students learned to strive to meet their goals in life. This phi- losophy was presented in an enjoy- able way through popular music, slides, and films that they could re- late to. George Hunzicker a graduate of the University of Michigan, was the National Championship of Asso- ciated Athletes. From 1967 through 1972 he was classified All-American six times, and in 1971 he placed sec- ond in the World Trampoline Championship in Bern, Switzerland. The Sunshine Express is a Christian group which usually plays at con- ventions but the sound was very good in our gym. Their purpose is to show non-Christians that Christians can put out some good music, and also to display their God given tal- ent. The whole student body gath- ered in the gym for these exciting events. They got rowdy and enjoyed these convos very much. Above Left—Mark Sorensen and Sherry Brawnu jive to the music.

Guys Dolls MacBeth Company Drama Club along with Thespian Troup 638 presented the musical “Guys and Dolls on April 20 and 21 at 8 p.m. in the high school's commons. Guys and Dolls” not only belongs with that aristocratic society of mu- sicals that have had a run of over one thousand performances, but it is also one of the very best ever pro- duced. It opened November 20, 1950 on Broadway and closed November 24, 1963 for a run of 1,200 perfor- mances. It became the first Broad- way show to be sold to Hollywood for more than $1,000,000.00. “Guys and Dolls” is centered around a little-known Ruyon story, the “Idyll of Sarah Brown , but it was enriched by a horde of Ruyon's typical Broadway characters. Na- than Detroit, Sky Masterson, Big jule, Benny Southstreet, Niceley-Ni- celey Johnson, Harry the Horse and Angie the Ox. All of them are gaAi- blers, and the action concerns them, their girls and their troubles. The chief trouble being the difficulty of deciding between the rolling of the dice and the beating of the heart. There are two love stories, each equally wacky. The first involves the mercurial Nathan Detroit a small but hot-shot proprietor of “The Old- est Established Permanent Floating Crap Game in New York,” which is, incidentally, the title of one of the most hilarious hit songs in the show. Detroit is definitely, if irregularly, devoted to Miss Adelaide, a night club canary. They have been en- gaged for fourteen years, but their nuptials have been continually post- poned because of Nathan’s sudden need to dash off to Saratoga race track, superintend a particulary fe- verish crap game, and disappears in other mysterious ways. The other romance concerns Sky Masterson, a big time, free living free loving, plunger in others words a hawk as he explains in the nactur- nal “My Time of Day and Sarah Brown the head of the gallant but rundown Save A Soul Mission. Top: Christine Rhoades as Sarah Brown tries to persuade Miss Adelaide portrayed by Pam Zimmerman to join the Save-A-Soul Mission. Cast members for the Spring musical include: Keri Slaby.

Sharin’ The Night Together The lights were dim and the stars were twinkling. As you entered you walked over a bridge, beneath was a pond filled with water. The bright city overlooked a simple city park. Then began the big evening of the year, the Junior-Senior Prom, of ’79. At 8:00, after the banquet dinner in the commons served by Maggie’s, was picture taking for any of those couples who wished to have them taken. Cox studio took the pictures and the juniors made the scenic background. The band, “High Fly- ers” made the night special as couples danced for three hours, with romance filling the air. The high point of the night came when Chewy Secrist and Sandy Mattix were crowned Prom King and Queen. Scott Tilden and Norma Knoop were chosen from the junior representatives to serve as Duke and Duchess. Midnight found everyone changing from long dresses and tuxedoes to more casual attire. Couples relaxed as the band, “Roaster” presented ji- vin' after-prom music. The cartoon “Pink-a-rella” was shown 10 minutes before the movie Silverst- reak.” These activities kept couples busy for after-prom entertainment. Officially, at 2:30 a.m., the Prom of '79 ended, but the special memories will last forever. Winding down a hectic year, the Drama Club along with many tal- ented students from the Valley put on the grand finale, the Viking Vari- eties on May 18, 1979. The Seniors made their final ap- pearance through a Senior Skit ti- tled The Butt Family”, also the Se- nior Vikettes with a routine to “Shake Your Groove Thing”. All night there was laughter, en- tertainment and tears as we said good-bye and good luck to the se- niors. Many memories, may be sought in a few years as you remem- ber the Swickettes, the first all-boy pom pon team, and the solo by Phil Smith. We, the staff, wish to take time to congratulate Beth Barr, Nancy Yeiter, Dale Pace, and Kevin Campbell on an excellent show. In closing the show, all the cast members sang the theme song “Feelin’ Groovy” along with the Masters of Ceremonies, Dane Jarvis, Tim Stokes, and Chuck Hurd.

MacBeth Company The $39 On May 18, MacBeth and Com- pany put on the spring play “The $39 Man”, back to back with the Vi- king Varieties. Getting a negative reading on the pressure guage could only mean one thing, and that is the town will blow up in a matter of hours. Milo Sap- perstein could not figure out what had happened, but he thought that Dr. Drano must have had something to do with it. As he descends to the sewer, Paddy sends down the blades, but finds out that they have been tampered with and tells Milo he only has about two seconds to live. Then there is an awful scream!! Paddy then goes down and col- lects what is left of Milo and decides to take him to a Free Clinic run by Dr. Darnell, a high-stepping, wild doctor who hates to miss her Roller Derby on the television. Dr. Darnell takes the remains into her operating room and begins her long task of putting Milo back together again. As Milo is on the table, Dr. Drano 30-Spring Play Dollar Man is out to get his bride-to-be Natlie. The table turns on Dr. Drano, and Natlie starts chasing after him, beg- ging him to marry her because she has been engaged to Milo for some- time but never made it to the altar. Dr. Darnell finds out that Milo her Paddy has any insurance and that someone has to come up with some money. All Paddy can come up with is $39. Thirty dollars for Darnell’s services and nine dollars for parts. With not having much to work with and Milo occupation, Darnell de- cides the arm he lost can be re- placed with a pipe wrench, for the foot a plunger and for the eye a Brownie Flash camera. What else could come in handy for a plumber. Milo adjusts quite well with his new parts, and swears he will get even with Dr. Drano for what he has done. He finally gets even and married Natlie and has a son. Who looks very much like Milo, because he has two plungers for feet. Cast Members for The $39 Man includo T. Ba- zini, P. Shireman, K. King. K.

A Winner These Are The Best Times Going on in the football playoffs, the Senior trip to Washington D.C., Homecoming, the 1979 Triton Sec- tional Title all came to an end on May 20,1979 as 159 Seniors received their diplomas from Dr. Lloyd Har- rell. For some this day could not have come soon enough, for others it was the ending of twelve long years 34—Graduation of friendships, grades, sports and clubs. Class officers choose the song, These are the Best Times , from Super Dad. From the song, the the motto was Chasing the endless sun, our lives have just begun . The Yel- low Rose was adopted as the class flower. Friends, teachers, classmates, and parents listened to speeches by the Valedictorian, Betsy Mathias, and the Salutatorian, Clair Helmreich along with Kevin Deardorff. The guest speaker for the Baccalaureate- Commencement exercises was Dr. M. Kay Stickle, Research Coordina- tor of Ball State University. After receiving their diplomas, the graduates received a Bible from the local churches. Twelve long years of learning, laughing and crying were brought to a close with one of the most important ceremonies in a life time. Mrs. Stickle left the SENIORS with this thought............... Your parents brought you up, Don’t let them down. Be humble enough to obey, you may give orders someday. Choose your companions with care, you become what they are. Guard your thoughts, what you think you are. Choose only a date, who will make a good mate. Master your habits, or they will mas- ter you. Drive with safety and arrive, don’t show off when you drive. Stand for something, or you will fall for anything. Don’t let the crowd pressure you. Page 34 Upper Left Kevin Deardorff gives the Student Address on behalf of the Seniors of 1979. Upper Right Yes.

For the second year in a row, the Viking football team has made their way into the playoffs. For the sectio- nal game they played West Noble and came out victorious in a 36-0 romping of the Chargers.

There are many things you need to learn, many drills to run, many plays to learn and much more. Fundamentals are very im- portant to building a successful varsity and junior varsity team. Besides learning the fundamen- tals and having a winning season, many freshmen also gained expe- rience on the junior varsity and even varsity levels.

Deanna Welch was definitely the most consistent server. The girls receiving 1978 volleyball awards were as follows: Claire Hel- mreich, most improved; Terri Wal- gamuth, most valuable and co-cap- tain and Linda Dorsey, co-captain. There was a new award this year won by Diane Poyser, who played the ball off the floor the most. She had 21 digs, followed by Sue Gall with 19, Aimee Robinson with 18, and Della Grossman had 16.

In the TRC, the Harriers ended up 5th with leading runner Ron Peters. Peters finished 19th in the TRC and 25th in the sectional. The team also placed 17th in the sectional. Peters, the only returning let- terman, put in 1300 miles of practice in the summer. The team also ran 7 to 8 miles a week and about 400 miles during the season altogether. Not only was the team new, but they had a new coach, Roger Fleet- wood. He believed that practice made perfect—well, maybe not per- fect but close. So the Harriers ran sprints and distances. As a whole, the season was not to- tal loss because hopefully many of the runners will be back next year to try it again. Cross Country Team—loft to right—first row—B. Hill. R. Peters, B. Simmons,).

It was really shown as the tankers put in sometimes 6,000 yards a practice, not to mention, weight lifting as well. Yes it is hard work, but it pays off to get better and im- prove your time as you go, some- times even pulling in a first place finish. The team consisted of seven juniors: Ann Kline, Cris Gross, Mary Jameson, Jennifer Manwaring, Jackie Secrist, Lori Lafferty, and Crystal McConkey; six freshmen: Ronda Russell, Paula Shireman, Sara Har- rell, Dana Daakee, Vicki Mattix, Laurie Surface, and Annette Swick; and one senior, Cyndi Daniels. It takes team work, and they definitely had that. Coach-wise we were in great shape. Coach Bev Jump (otherwise known as “MOM ) has been the swim coach for three years and hopefully many more also. Davd Kreiger is the diving coach. He is a Ball State College graduate Right— Come on Sue.

To make a long story short. Wa- termelon Polo turned into a water- melon fight. For Halloween we came to a meet in masks. That was just to name a few crazy things that the tankers did this season. The tankers made many fine ef- forts, such as three girls, Ann Kline, Sara Harrell, and Jennifer Manwar- ing, and two relay teams qualifing for finals in the sectional. Ann Kline also went to State. They not only grew to be better swimmers, but better people as well. 50-Girls' Swimming OlffEREMT F01KS| “Old Swimmers Never Die .. ... they just go off their blocks. ... they lose their “pull” and life is no longer full of kicks! ... they just don't have good times anymore___but a lot of them have had several strokes. ... they just sink out of sight. ... they just forget their turn. . . . they just become swimming coaches.... they just float away! ... they simply jump the gun. ... they just collapse in the heat! ... they just wade away. ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft'ft ft ft ft 64 ft 78 ft 89 ft 74 T 104 ft 68 ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft 56 56 69 98 49 29 94 54 82 Opponent Elkhart Central CMA North Manchester Concord Maconaquah Elkhart Memorial Huntington North Bluffton Goshen North Manchester East Nobel Wawasee Rochester Warsaw Plymouth 108 , 93 ft 82 ft 90 ft 68 104 87 35 103 74 34 51 77 117 ft 90 ft ft 'ft '.ft £ ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft Top—Ann Kline wails anxiously as she hears the results to a close race.

With only two return- ing lettermen and a total of five wrestlers with any prior wrestling experience, the Valley grapplers em- barked upon a season highlighted by competition with Three Rivers con- ference foes and other area oppo- nents of the many positive aspects of the past season. The sectional win by Mike Map- pin and the placing of several other underclassmen in the sectional are the most noteworthy. What does the future hold for Val- ley wrestling? With ten returning lettermen, eighteen of which will be sophomores and juniors, along with two seniors and a fine group of in- coming freshmen, Coach Stath hopes to bring the Valley its first ever conference and sectional wres- tling championship.

That was a phrase often heard after the Tippecanoe Valley Vikings pulled off their first-ever Sectional win.

JV Basketball—57 GIRLS FINISH q-5 The girls’ basketball team finished their season with a 9-5 record. On January 20, the girls’ varsity team went south to Benton Central to participate in an invitational tourney. In the first game, they played against East Chicago Roose- velt and lost by 14 points. In the sec- ond game, they tried hard to defeat Michigan City Rodgers, but they did not succeed. Coach Harmon thought playing high-ranking schools was a good experience for our team. In Sectional play, Valley won the first game against Manchester on Wednesday and advanced to a sec- ond game on Thursday against War- saw. The girls fought hard through- out the game but could not manage to get around the Tigers. The girls basketball team had a fairly good season in Ms. Harmon's opinion. When asked about next year’s team, Coach Harmon said that “it looks good. This years most valuable player was Kay Hively. Others receiving recognition were most improved, Virginia Arven, most assists; Terri Walgamuth, most rebounds; Claire Helmreich; and tri-captions, Claire Helmreich, Terri Walgamuth, and Kay Hively.

Girls’ JV Basketball-61 The freshman basketball team fin- ished their season with 5 wins and 9 losses for the A-team and an impres- sive 9 wins and 3 losses for the El- team. The A-team hit 41 percent from the field for the year and 49 percent from the free-throw line for an aver- age of 37.7 points per game. The freshmen learned a new sys- tem and worked hard during the year. With defence being stressed, it will take time for it to show up on the win-loss column, but it will in the future,” Coach Glingle said. “We didn’t have the physical size that some other teams had, but as these kids mature and catch up they will be a lot tougher. We played sev- eral good freshmen teams this year and held our own against all of the,” commented the freshmen coach. Don Studebaker was the leading scorer for the season with a 10.9 points per game average. He shot 49.2 percent from the field and also led the team in rebounds with 93 for the season. Ryan Murphy led in the assist category with 15 and was our second leading rebounder with 39. Todd Leckrone, who only played 9 games with the freshmen, led the team in free throw percentage shooting with 60.8 percent for the year. He was also the second leading scorer averaging almost 6 points per game. The boys can look forward to competing for JV team spots next year, and hard work in the off sea- son should prove beneficial. Top right—Donnie Studebaker reaches for the tip.

David Rhodes held down first po- sition and was the medalist for our team regularly. Hal May played sec- ond; Todd Leckrone, third; Kent Adams, fourth; and Rick Slone played fifth position. The team was a very young and inexperienced team with five fresh- men, three juniors and two seniors. David Rhodes received the low medalist and putting awards. Kent Adams received the captains star, and Todd Leckrone was the most improved trophy. Four out of the five varsity mem- bers on this years team will be re- turning next year.

During the season he commented that “the young kids on the JV team are improving be- cause they have started a feeder pro- gram where they've stared high school on a skillful level. The managers were Brian Duzen- berry and Jerry Katz. Each had turns at managing the JV and Varsity games. The batgirls were Sarah Baker, Staci Cumberland, Sally Miner, DeShawn VanDewater, and Stephanie Farner. The team had 14 members this year: nine freshmen, three soph- omores, and two juniors. Unless the JV are promoted to Varsity, they should have a stronger team next year. Coach Sipe said that the kids are improving, but they still were kind of weak due to the bad weather they had at the beginning of the season. 76—Baseball 1979 JV Baseball Team TV OPP 1 Rochester 8 6 Rochester 11 0 Peru 12 1 Rochester 7 2 Northfield 11 Maconaquah PPD Bremen PPD 0 Rochester 16 5 Whitko 13 5,2 Northwood 13,12 10 Warsaw innings 9 Northwood 8 Upper Left—Going to get the ball from Coach Sipe is Ryan (or is it Bryan?)

There's a lot of different things that have to be combined to make an athlete. There’s always your typical super jock who’s good at everything and doesn’t even seem to try. Those kind either have all the girls or are con- ceited but that’s not always true. Then there’s the guy that is just good enough to make the team but is probably the most loyal. He shows up at every practice and works as hard as any of the rest of the guys on the team but never gets a chance to step into the spotlight of “Stardom.” People really shouldn’t sterotype all these jocks, because there are ex- ceptions to every rule, like your ev- eryday, run-of-the-mill jock. Just your average athlete. Here at Tippecanoe Valley you can always tell the jock on the amount of green and gold in their at- tire or green and gold jerseys. If it weren’t for the jocks what would it be like? No sports activities, no com- petition between neighboring high schools, no rivalries, nothing that makes the true school spirit come out. 78—Jocks Right: Varsity Cheerleaders: Cara Smalley, Lori Lafferty, Carolyn Groves, Christine Rhoades.

It all began last summer at Ball State, lugging our suitcases and tons of food up seven flights of stairs. Al- ready we could foresee an enjoyable week. We unpacked our clothes, got out our food, and ran downstairs to meet our weeklong companions. The week seemed to drag on, but on the last day it seemed to have zipped right by us. Then it was time for football. With our season not ending as scheduled, we were off to the re- gional ... “fired up and ready!” Before we had time to catch our breath basketball was here. The sea- end our dream came true. With the big “one” won, it was off to the Regional. As we look back over the year, now that the season is over we’ve all had a lot of fun and some super- special moments we will always remember. Christine Rhoades Lori Lafferti Crystal McConkey 80—Cheerloading son had its ups and downs but in the CHEERLEADERS CREER Qfcl Cheerleading isn’t all that it’s made up to be. All the fans usually see are girls jumping around in green and gold outfits yelling and carrying on over the game. There really is quite a bit of work behind it. Practice was twice a week and sometimes lasted forever it seemed. You have to put up with a lot of problems when you’re a cheer- leader, such as people not yelling or looking at you like you’re crazy. But you just have to ignore all that and go on cheering.

MIDDLE BOTTOM—Mrs. Mills shows how she feels at the end of the day after all of her classes are over. This year we did something a little different. We asked a few club sponsors about their lives outside of school. Mr. Kantner, FFA sponsor, has been a sponsor for five years at Valley. He started to teach at Rolling Prairie in 1960, after he graducated from Bristol High School and Pur- due College. He’s married and has 2 children. When asked if he thought his kids would follow in his footsteps, he re- plied, “No, their feet are bigger than mine.” His outlook on life is, “Use mate- rial things and love people, never use people and love material things.” Mrs. Mills, sponsor of the Art Club, has been a sponsor here at Valley for four years. She first taught at Mentone in 1974 after she graduated from Twin Lakes High School, in Monticello, and Manchester College. She’s married and has kids which she says are; one dog, Pembrook; one cat, Shalomyth; and fish. When we asked her if she thought they would follow in her footsteps, she said, “definitely!” Her outlook on life is; Live each day as it comes. Club traditions are the Art Ba- zaars (hopefully each year), the scholarships for art majors, and Se- nior Keys for senior members. % m p .. L Mr. Robert Igney, sponsor of FEA, has been a sponsor here for nine years. He taught and coached at Kenda- ville High School. Mr. Igney graduated from Ros- sville High School and Purdue Col- lege in 1941. He's married and has two children who are both in social work. His outlook on life is “Spirit and enthusiasm makes a better person.” To change the club he said he really needs more members, but, he had 38 this year. The tradition of the club was elf week for teachers with a coffee hour. UPPER RIGHT: Lecturing to the club at a meeting is, sponsor. Robert Igney. BOTTOM RIGHT: Mr. Igney clowns around instead of doing his work. 86—Club Sponsors Mrs. Barbara Smith, sponsor of FHA, has been here for two years as sponsor.

She's married and has four chil- dren, two of which followed in her footsteps as teachers. Her outlook on life is “the best is yet to be!” To change the club in future years, she wants more involvement of all members in worthwhile projects. The clubs traditions are semi-for- mal Spring Banquet, and candlelight installation of officers. Officers at- tend state meetings in Indianapolis. UPPER LEFT—Listening to someone’s ques- tion during class is Barbara Smith. LOWER LEFT—Mrs. Smith. FHA sponsor, smiles sweetly for the camera after class when no- body else is around to see her.

He graduated from Beaver Dam High School in 1958 and Man- chester and Notre Dame colleges in 1962. He’s married and has two chil- dren. He said when asked if the thought his children would follow in his footsteps, “very doubtful”. His out look on life is: The life span of a person is so small in the time table of the universe. We have such a short time to fulfill our pur- pose here on earth. Let each of us work together to make each other’s life more enjoyable and make the world better for those after us. A tradition of N.H.S. is the yearly banquet to honor seniors and newly-elected members. Upper middle—Mr. Cumberland tells a joke that only he laughs at. Bottom middie-Did I do something wrong or do you like staring? asks Wayne Cumberland. Mrs. Juna Graham has been spon- sor of OEA and class sponsor for the seniors for three years.

The half that went to Ball State included: Barb Pratt, Kathy Vogel, Ann Kline, Ronda Rus- sell, Cheryl Reed, Cheryl Howard, and Krista Ogle. The other half who went to Notre Dame were: Lori Baum, Jackie Secrist, Suzanne French, Kathy Runnells, Jennifer Manwaring, Renee Murray, Peg Parker, Shelly Gross, Maxine Weller, and Liz Ware. While they were there they learned new dances and routines to help them get ready for football and basketball games and parades. For basketball games they learned new formations on how to stand during the National Anthem. To get the two alternates, Liz Ware and Deedee Robertson in- volved held the flags for games and parades. At the end of the combined two- week stay, both camps gave out awards and each of the two groups won an award of some kind or an- other. The Ball State group won a spirit pompon and a second place Sweepstakes trophy. The Notre Dame group won two spirit awards and a “Sparkle and Shine” ribbon. The Vikettes sponsored a cake sale and they made S225 which they used to buy new uniforms. They also attended a contest at Zi- onsville where they competed with a lot of other high schools.

To get a senior sweater you have to have so many points, and for extra points many people participated in these groups. The pep band provided mu- sic for the Vikettes when they performed and at Zionsville. Musicians who were inter- ested in other types of music joined the stage band or jazz band. This group played at concerts and performances. Two new groups for the mu- sic department were flags and rifles who performed at pa- rades and football games. Flags were: Catherine Baker, Teresa Goshert, Chris Bazini, Kathy Carr, Karen Wright, janet Long, Lori Marshal, Veronica Baker, Chris Duncan, Gloria Cumber- land, and Dawn Slone.

The Swing Choir practiced on Tuesdays from 6:30 to 8:00, while the Girls’ Chorus practiced on Wednes- days from 3:45 until 5:00. Something new was used by both groups— choreography. Susie McGuire came to the rehearsals and helped the two groups learn their dance routines. During the year, the groups did many performances for the commu- nity.

A 96—Drama Club McBeth and company pul on three fine productions this year. The Savage Dilemia, Guys and Dolls, and The $39 Dollar Man. There was a lot more1 to the pro- duction besides acting. It took many, many people to prepare lights, make-up, build sets, form publicity, It also took a lot out of the direc- tor. Even though Mrs. Barr was ill, she did a very fine job of running the show. and get costumes. Sometimes these groups are not recognized but they need to be. It takes a lot to know when to turn on a spotlight and where, to make a person old, to make sure you have a wall, to see the people know all about the play, and to find all the right costumes. Let’s all pay tribute to the cast, crew, and director for a job well done. Above: Karen Wiley looks for her reflection in the mirror. Left: Tell us all about it Chuck Hurd. Drama Club—97 m This year the Sunshine Society again held the informal initiation during school, which was a success. For most of the girls it was embar- rassing, but they went through it anyway. Formal initiation was held in the fall and honored all the neyv members in the club. Mrs. Eggleston, sponsor, and Pres. Penny Haney, led the group meet- ings and told the girls what they were to do. At the Warsaw basketball game, they raised $325 for Riley’s Chil- drens’ Hospital in Indianapolis. Also during that game they used buckets instead of a blanket to use for the penny pitch. This year they col- lected $93.60 for Riley’s. Another traditional idea of the club is to have an Ideal Ladies’ Tea where they reveal themselves to their Sunshine Lady. During the school year the girls gave small gifts on special occasions to a lady they respected and appreciated. The officers along with Penny were: V. Pres; Mary Jameson, Rec. Sec; Deb Zimmerman, Cor. sec. Su- zanne French, Treas; Ann Kline. Again this year the president and vice-president went to the workshop over the summer. The girls thought it was a fun and a worthwhile time. In the spring they decided to have Peanut Pal week again, since a lot of girls enjoyed it last year. The fresh- men and sophomores gave small gifts to a junior or senior for a week. At the end of the week they found out who their pal was at the pizza party that was given. Again this year the Sunshine So- ciety had a very eventful time. Upper right-Doing her homework on the Just sitting around at a club meeting are board, Beth Fugate is caught by the camera.

Chris Kindig; Sec. Deanna Welch; Treas. Peg Parker. The sponsors were Mr. Cumberland and Mrs. Welch. To be in NHS you have to have a grade point average of 8.5 and you nave to maintain that grade to stay in the society. At least four teachers must recommend a student to be ad- mitted to the club. Their money-making project was the cake sale in which they made $325. On May 9, they held a Spring Rec- ognition Banquet to honor the new members and the seniors of the club. This year the NHS had a total of 88 members: 37 seniors, 26 juniors, and 25 sophomores. Next year the sponsors hope for more. The FEA officers for this year were: Pres. Peg Parker; V. Pres. Lori Smalley; Sec. Treas. Tina Woodruff. The object of FEA is for people who are interested in teaching as a career. Again they held Elf week in April. 100—NHS Row one-Jama Shank, Sue Kay Standiford.

In the fall they were visited by Terri Lynn Kaiser, former Miss In- diana. She came and talked to the members about charm and poise. A total of 12 girls went to the OEA contest this year. They were: Karen Wiley, Lori Baum, Linda Dorsey, Teri Walgamuth, Kelly Eaton, Penny Haney, Deb Zimmerman, Lori Smalley, Sherri Blankenship, Christ- ine Rhoades, Paige Cumberland, and Janice Good. Christine Rhoades and Teri Walgamuth went to state con- test where Christine got sixth and Teri got a first in their divisions. Teri went on to Cincinatti to compete. One of the traditions of the club is to hold a Beeline party, which turned out a success. Some of the girls in the club modeled the clothes. The money made was used for the contest entry fees.

The officers for the 1978-79 school year were President, Cindy Harding; Vice-President, Mark Shriver; Secre- tary, Jennifer Manwaring; Treasurer, Diana Barker. The club’s sponsor was Mrs. Jan Mills, and her student teacher was Miss Gordon. Again this year the club held an art bazaar. They made 165 dollars which went towards something new. Instead of going toward the art fund, it went for scholarships for three students majoring in art at college. They held the art bazaar during the three lunch periods at school and BOTTOM LEFT—Claire Helmreich racks her brain to find something to draw. also during a home basketball game. The Art Club also gave Senior Keys to any of the seniors in the club. Some of the projects the club made were put up in the art room and in one of the window cases. They had 31 members this year: 11 seniors, 13 juniors, six sophomores, and one freshman. The club was mostly underclassmen so that next year she hopes for a stronger group of art students. Students receiving scholarships fully deserve them for their artistic ability. Art Club-105 The FFA club was very active this year. They did everything from rais- ing crops, to judging cattle, to play- ing basketball. In the club, they had a dairy jud- ging team which consisted of Brian Adams, Cindy Lipply, Ron Opple, and Keith Smith. The team went to an invitational Livestock and Dairy Judging contest at Blue River, where they missed the trophy by a few points. They also went to the Purdue invitational judging contest, where they placed 14th. They also attended the county judging contest. In the fall FFA held their annual Hog Butchering. The club’s basketball team went clear to the championship game at Bremen, but were defeated by Roch- ester’s FFA. In spring the club raised crops on some ground in Mentone, and on George Black’s ground. Through this club, the members have learned how to prepare for ca- reers in farming.

Throughout the year they visited the Senior Citizens to help keep them cheerful. They also volunteered their time by helping them clean up their yards around the nursing homes. Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Hoyt were the sponsor for this year’s club. Me- lanie Turner was voted President; Darlene Hathaway, Vice-President; Diane Bolhoeffer, Secretary; Deb Bolhoeffer, Treasure; and Tina Sander, Reporter.

ACADEMICS ... 112—Academics Academics—113 'Teacher,Would You Please Help Me Out?’ The faculty of TVH once again made it through another year. There were many new faces at the head of the classrooms this year. Student Teachers made the scene as the 'rookies' of the gang, but of course there were many returning ’let- terpersons'. Students can really be helped by this great group of people. It takes a lot to become a teacher. Whether it is money or brains, you’ve got to have it all together. A teacher’s job isn’t as easy as it looks. You have to be able to communicate with your students and be able to get along with other people. Teachers help students improve their skills, whether it be reading or building a house. A student should never be afraid to go and talk to a teacher. They are there to help you learn, as well as to help you with your personal problems. So let’s remember that this year was a great year for students as well as teachers!

Faculty-115 Cooking for well over 600 stu- dents is not an easy job, but that doesn’t mean our cooks dislike it. “Everyone gets along real well, says head cook Sherry Smalley. There were quite a few changes this year in this department. Now, the at- mosphere is more relaxed. Good things came from these changes. The food seemed much better, and it was nice to have ‘service with a smile'. Some of the cooks come in at 7:30 a.m., and some at 10:00 a.m. After everything is cleaned up and put away, it is usually 3:30p.m. Many of us were not familiar with the cooks. Sherry Smalley was the head cook. Others included: Becky Murphy, Carolyn Tucker, and Norma Weaver, who is also the cashier. Our cooks put forth a great effort in preparing meals for us. 116—Cooks and Custodians Service With a Smile The task of being a high school janitor seems to be endless. There is usually always something to be done. Our custodians work in different shifts. Joe Day works four hours in the morning to get everything ready for our day. Chet and Kathy Gast are the night-time custodians. One of their jobs is to clean the pool. Ken- neth Castleman is also a night-time custodian. Esther May is the one who is here all day. Some of her many jobs are: cleaning and sweep- ing the floors, washing the windows, mending and washing uniforms, ‘picking up’ after the students, and even helping supervise us. Jim Jones does the maintainance, and Tom Mahoney is what you might call the TVSC supervisor. He keeps up not only our school, but the two junior highs, too.

Computer System Aids Administration A total of eight people come to school each day to keep Tippecanoe Valley High School in top notch or- der. These trained personnel are Su- pertindent Dr. Harrell and his secre- tary Mrs. Hively; Mrs. Hoover, who runs the computer system; Mr. Skin- ner, the principal, who keeps stu- dents basically under control; Mrs. Yeiter and Mr. Welch, the student counselors, who help students with personal problems and with the fill- ing out of college and scholarship applications; Mrs. Kindig and Mrs. Gothan, the secretaries who make the office run smoothly and keep track of the school’s financial standing. During this past year, organization between staff and administration plus the help of 12 volunteer stu- dents have been the key factors in the smooth operation of the administration.

Many times we get extra help to get along in society and to acquire special needs for the fu- ture. The Special Needs class does exactly that; it prepares special stu- dents for social and working pres- sures they will encounter after they graduate. Our Special Needs class consists of twelve students. Most of these students go to school half of the day and work in various jobs in the com- munity the other half. This on-the- job experience prepares the student for a job after high school and give the community the chance for in- volvement. There were four differ- ent communities involved with the employment of students from the Special Needs class. Mrs. Parsons, the teacher for this class, said that three students worked at Kralis Brothers in the afternoon. Kralis Brothers is near Mentone. One stu- dent worked at Burket, two at Crys- tal Lake and three were given jobs here at the high school. After these students graduate, they will have a guaranteed job and be able to cope in society better. Contrary to what many think, the same courses that are needed to graduate are taught to these stu- dents. This class is very special. Above left Jimmy Burns flashes a smite for the camera.

Below—Dawn Slone presses time to meet her deadline in yearbook. Among the many courses offered here which prepare the student for college, there were several offered which were fun and may have helped the student discover or de- velop a special talent he may have acquired. There were six courses of- fered that dealt with students’ tal- ents and ability. These courses were: choir, under the direction of Mr. Dale Pace; band, with Mr. Kevin Campbell directing; art classes, with Mrs. Janet Mills as the instructor; Saga and journalism, under the able hand of Ms. Linda Mason and; media, with Mr. Ed LaMar helping. Many performances, art bazaars, special sales and money-making projects were given by the different organizations. These classes bought many of their own supplies with the money earned throughout the year. The students were always ready to perform, publish, paint, or turn on the projector with smiling faces. Some of the many hectic times be- fore a special day on the calendar, were comical, but the students were always willing and ready. 122—Fine Arts Above Left—Tim Kuhn and Hal May work on the projector in the media center.

Some might think “yuch , and some might think, That’s sounds hard”, while others might think, “1 like to write and it sounds like an interesting course. Whatever they may think, no one can know what journalism is unless they have taken the course. Let’s take a sneak preview and look at the Runic Re- view in full view. Journalism is a fairly new course offered to students here, yet in two years the Runic Review has come along quite well. Journalism has shown the student body that the class is not strictly reporting and writing, contrary to the idea held by many students in prior years. Students on the Runic Review staff learned new layout techniques and designs in the newspaper media. The class itself is not difficult, but takes a lot of Tina Sander types her article for editing. Runic Review In Full View 124—Journalism time and hard work on behalf of the staff to produce a newspaper every three weeks for the students and faculty. After a brief interview with Miss Linda Mason, advi- sor of the Runic Review, the fact that few classes are required to take journalism was discovered. Just for your information, the only requirements to take the class is that you must have a B average in English, and you must be a sophomore or older. Some typing is helpful, but not necessary. Oh, and yes, you must be willing to work. There are several steps which the staff must go through to publish the Runic Review. According to Miss Mason, the first step is to assign the stories and get them written. Each staff member has a news beat in which they keep track of the activities of different sports and school organizations. It takes around a week for each staff member to report and gather all of the information they need for a story. The length of the story depends on the importance of the story and how much room is available in that particular issue. After the story has been completed and typed, it is edited by fellow staff members and advisor. Typesetting is the next step. Typesetting is typing on a big, computer typewriter without a read out. With a special code, the computer punches holes in tapes. This machine is ren- ted by the Runic Review at the cost of fourteen dollars a month. These tapes are then taken to the Local Printer and computed by Loren Sheetz, free of charge. Mr. Sheetz runs these tapes through a special com- puter that prints the articles on white photo paper. The printed articles are then picked up by staff members. The students then draw layouts for the next issue and paste the articles in the correct squares. The paper is then checked for corrections and eaxed to keep the ar- ticles in place. The graphic arts class then prints the paper for selling. The cost of the Runic Review is 15C and an average of 250 students buy an issue each time. The money raised is used to send future staff members to work- shops and to pay for the monthly rent of the typesetter. Some might think about their future when they choose a class. After taking journalism, the student can get a job as a typesetter or in layout. Janice Claxton uses her sales pitch to sell Cupid's Arrows to Joyce Adams and Tina Utter. Teresa Bazini works diligently. Journalism—125 Choosing a career is not the easiest thing in the world. What each of us decide would affect our whole future. It is then important that we get the most com- plete, accurate information on our career decision. How do you decide what is best for you? First, you look at yourself and your interests. What do you like doing? If you have a career doing what you like to do best, more than likely you will be at that job the long- est and enjoy it the most. Getting complete and accurate information takes time, so don’t expect to decide your whole future in one day. Sit down with a counselor or your parents and let them help you out. They may know quite a bit about what you are interested in. In our Career Re- source Center here at school, you can find books, pam- phlets, slides, etc., on just about any career you could think of. Mr. La Mar and Mrs. Robinson are there to help you if you have any questions about a career or where to find information. Let’s look at some particular careers. Say you would like to become a drafter. At Zimmer USA in Warsaw, Bill Clark is employed as a drafter, and likes his job very much. “All it took was a high school diploma and a few correspondence courses,” said Bill. He took drafting in high school to prepare himself for a pos- sible future career in that field. Besides enjoying him- self, Bill makes quite a bit of money. Above: Carolyn Barnett works as a lab technician at Woodlawn Hospi- tal. Rochester. Above: Mona Lancaster works at the computerized typesetter at Zim- mer USA. Warsaw. Above: Randy Antonides and Roger Stevens work as dedicated mechan- ics at Smith Ford. Warsaw. 126—Careers Another career is an auto mechanic. Roger Stevens of Smith Ford says that being a mechanic is a career despite what some people think. He enjoys his work very much and is very dedicated. Auto mechanics in high school would give you the training you would need for this job. There are special mechanic schools that you can go to, once you have a job, and your boss will usually send you to one of these schools to broaden your knowledge. There is a need for me- chanics every day. Everyone's car breaks down at one time or another. The more mechanics there are, the less time you wait for your car at the garage. Still another career is that of a nurse. Every little kid plays doctor and nurse, but this job is no play thing. It takes brains and stamina—plus much training. You can work your way up to this career by starting out as a volunteer or a 'candy striper’ as they are called. This proves to see if you are 'cut out' for this career. Of course there are nursing schools that teach you what you should know. One of the most familiar careers is being a secretary. Busi- ness courses through high school and business college help you get the best job possible. The better you are trained in a specific area, the better chance you have in getting a good job. This is so true in every career. Businesses and firms are going to hire the people who are best qualified and will do the job most accurately. A lab technician is a person with many skills and tasks. You get to take blood and various samples and test them out to see if they contain any diseases or such. At our new and modern hospitals today, our lab technicians have the accu- rate and complicated machines. It takes brains and determi- nation to have this job. So, before you decide your career overnight, think it out. Getting the most accurate information is very important to your career choice. The help and inspiration of others is a great factor in helping you to decide on what is best for you. A career is a life-time thing, and you should begin to think of your whole future life now. Mr. Kantner and the CO-OP Program can help you a lot. There is a big world out there, so let's all be ready! Bill Clark drafts for Zimmer USA. Warsa A Look At The Future One of the less publicized classes in our school is Environmental Science. This usually is taken your freshman year. As a matter of fact, it is required then. If you asked the freshman what they thought about this class they’d say well, we can’t put that in our yearbook.” More than likely they would say “Yuck!”, or something similar to that. This particular class may seem ‘yucky’ to us, but we do learn things. “Several kids have to be encouraged to work,” said Mr. Glingle when asked about the students. You work at your own pace with either another person or yourself. It may seem real ’sinchy’ to just go to class, and only work a day or two so that the teacher will think you’re just a slow learner. That’s o.k., if you’re not worried about your grade. Even though this program is meant for working at your own pace, you still need to be at the same place, or close to it, as your other classmates. It would be hard for the teacher if you were two ok’s be- hind the other students in your class. To say the least, your grade wouldn’t be too swift. Each student goes through five or six books a year. Each student is given a test at the end of each chapter to see how much they learned. In Orbit, Winds and Weather, All About You, Crusty Problems, and Envi- ronmental Science are the names of some of the books in this program. In each book you do things entirely different than the book before. In Orbit includes ex- periments and projects related to the space. Above: Eric: Ross and Bryan Duzenberry use a calculator to help them with their assignment. Above: Angie Kiern seems to be amazed at Don Studebaker’s talent with white rats. 128-Science Above: Brian Carne's experiments with testing grabbiness. One example is the water rocket. With this, you put water inside a plastic rocket and pump air into it. You then pull a trigger-type thing and the rocket goes into the air. Winds and Weather basically teaches you about the weather. Each day you go outside and check the weather station. This includes: temperature, cloud cover (per-cent), wind speed and direction, type of clouds out, and the barometer. All About You is like biology. You learn about the biological side of life. Environmental Science is a particular book that teaches you about our environment. You learn about food chains and various types of environment aspects. Each Friday the students are handed out a magazine entitled Science World.” The students are asked to read specific articles the teacher assigns to them. After they have read these articles, the teacher may give them a quiz over what they have read. Sometimes they play stump-the-staff. This is where the students can ask either Mr. Glingle or Mr. Stath the questions over the articles. This can be a very funny situation. This class has a lot to offer us if we treat it right. It can teach us things we never knew before. Healthfood Harry and (unkfood Junkie were just one of the many projects of the Science Class. Science—129 School offered more than just re- port cards, tardies, and weekends to look forward to. The class which could have helped you with your fu- ture career may have been there. Auto Mechanics and Farm Me- chanics let you learn while you worked. Working on someone’s farm machinery or on your own car was the way to gain experience. To get the job you want, the past expe- rience will help your chances. Secretarial classes were offered in the Intensive Office Lab class. Learning under a seemingly real at- mosphere helped you to decide if it was for you or not. The atmosphere resembles the usual office conditions. Electronics, Woods, and Graphic Arts, to name a few, may have helped you come to a decision about your career. It may have been that your future was already planned. If it wasn't planned, the classes were there to be explored, experimented with, and educated by. Extreme top— Todd Anglin repairs an engine under Mr. Ralston’s instruction.

This house seen in its beginning stages is located in Akron. Mr. Murphy assists Tim jaynes with the wall. 132—Building Trades Nails, students, and carpeting all came together to go un- der the title of Building Trades. Mr. Murphy supervised this class. The class served the purpose to prepare the student for additional schooling or possible employment in the building trades field. Building a house was the job that this class took part in. Starting at the ground, the total house is built by the stu- dents. Each student voiced their opinion on which area they would like to work on. There were the basic areas of car- pentery, masonry, and mechanical areas for the students to select from. Wiring, plumbing, carpentery are all installed by the stu- dents. Builder’s Mart and Wholesale Electric of Warsaw ac- commodated the class with the supplies, while the plumb- ing was furnished by Tricks Supply of North Manchester. Mentone’s Valley Furnishings provided the selection of fur- nishings for the house. Students, hard-hats, and foremen all became one to make up the construction workers who built this house. Students who were seniors, that took the class last year, were the foremen. Something new had been added to the class this year. Cindy Harding, a senior, was the first girl ever to take this class. After talking with Cindy, she gladly expressed her opinions of the class. She was treated equally and better than she thought she would be. The guys learned to respect her opinion, thanks to Mr. Murphy, she said. Cindy found the class to be a lot of fun and that’s what she had hoped to find in the class. Mr. Murphy was very pleased with the work of his stu- dents. The house would be done early, he said, because of their achievements. The open house was planned for the middle of May. Handling the public auction of the house was the School Board. Will a future construction worker be found in Len Briedert? The credit and congratulations belong to all those students taking the course and Mr. Murphy for such a fine job. “This is the house that Dennis Alderfer, Hank Black, Orville Bolin, Len Briedert, Chuck Craft, Bill Cunningham (Fancy Pants), Jon Fahl (Drill Man), Lawrence Flannery, Clint Haag, Cindy Harding (Mom), Mickey Hively, Steve Holloway (Flash), Tim Jaynes, Terry Korb (Pierre), Greg Kuhn (Crash), Toney Lowe, Brian Mappen, Bob Marshall, Marvin McClone, Todd Miller, Don (Juan) Newman, Paul Roth, Brent Rutherford, Mitch Summe (Nail Man), Randy Swihart, and Scott Waddle “built.” Todd Miller and Mickey Hively work together to put a truss rafter in place. Building Trades—133 Top center—The bridge shown above took first prize. Above—Chris Baker uses the card catalog for his paper. Certain classes helped to prepare the student for college in the years ahead. Speech class gave the student an understanding for commu- nicating properly. Every class helps a student somehow, but certain classes prepare the student for college. Senior English was a class taken by practically all college-bound se- niors. The class prepared the seniors by analyzing literature and writing compositions. The major project was the writing of a research paper. The seniors were to learn from this how to compose a good research pa- per. The work put into the paper was extensive. It left some seniors wondering: Is college really this much work? Chemistry and psychics are most often required for those students en- tering the field of mathematics and science. In these classes the experi- ments help the students to visualize what the book was trying to teach them. The psychics class built bridges of balsa wood and modeling cement. A contest for the strongest bridge was held. Claire Helmreich and Donna Avery won the overall contest.

College-Geared Classes—135 COLLEGE-a Place to Expand and Explore 136—College What is college and what does it offer? College is an institution of higher learning granting degrees. If you have made plans to attend a college it took some work for those plans to fall through. College can be more than earning your degree. Clubs, sororities, frater- nities, sports, and meeting people are just a few of the extras that go along with college. The majority of students have made their decision of going to college or not, by their senior year. The earlier the decision is made gives the student a greater selec- tion. Deadlines for applications and being admitted can be found with every college. If your applications get sent in on time to your various choices of colleges your being admitted is more likely. By being accepted at a few different colleges gives you the chance to change your mind of where you would like to attend. Colleges are open to visitors regularly. There are stu- dent visitation days throughout the year. Visiting a couple colleges before making your final decision is recommended. By visiting a college it will give you a better idea of what life at the college is like and how it is different from the others. Visiting the college on a weekday will give the student a better view of the col- lege academically. Weekend visits to a college would show more of the social activities taking place. A couple groups of seniors have taken a weekday off of school and visited a college. They learned much about the college and its programs in one day. The one unex- cused absence for that day didn’t seem to matter. Many students shy away from the idea of college due to the amount of money it costs. There are other ways of paying for a college education. Grant and scholarship forms can be obtained from the guidance counselor, Mrs. Yeiter. Certain colleges offer the Army ROTC program at their school. Other schools have a co-op program. With this type of program you work part-time and have classes the other part. The working part-time pays off part of the class expense. Looking into grants, scholarships, and different programs will help to foot the bill that goes with college. The four-year program of a regular college may not appeal to all students. There are different directions to Might—|ean Helmreich copies down the ad- dresses of a few Beauty Schools to get the in- formation needed to enroll. go for those students. Vocational training prepares a student for a job after their training on the job is com- pleted. Two-year college programs are another alterna- tive to the four years or more. By entering a business college some courses only take up to ten months. With a college such as a beauty college, you can complete the course at your own rate. A required amount of hours has to be achieved before the student can graduate. Not everything in life was meant to be for everyone. College is one of those things. For those students who do choose college don't expect it to be just like the movie Animal House. Life can be fun. You make your life the way you want it to be. College is a different kind of life than high school but it can still be fun. Make college what you want it to be. If you are there for a degree, reach for it. If you are there to increase your knowledge, expand it. If you can’t decide what you are there for, explore. College is a place of higher learning. No matter where, what type of college you at- tend, or for how long, you will learn something. College-137 138-People PEOPLE ... PEOPLE People—139 Seniors Do What can you say about Seniors? What can’t you say about them? Se- niors are classy, and they know it. (just ask them.) How many times have you seen a Senior walking down the hall with a school map in their hand? You haven’t, have you? We put together a few brief rules and guidelines that everyone fol- lows as Seniors (almost everyone). Seniors don’t rush to beat the bell. It’s just not cool. They stand in the doorway and sort of saunter in. Seniors walk to the very front of the lunch line with no questions asked. It’s legal. KENT R.

Seniors never leave their lights on in the parking lot (okay, maybe there are a few exceptions). Seniors always remember their locker combinations. (Let’s see, was it 3 left or to the right?) Seniors do not party. (Of course, there are exceptions to every rule.) Seniors always have the right of way in the hall. (Sometimes this is difficult for un- derclassmen to remember.) Seniors do not have overdue books. (They just forget to bring them back, but know ex- actly why and where they are at all times.) Seniors leave first at all convocations and pep sessions. This is a very well-known rule. Seniors try and never bring home over 2 books at a maximum each night. Three or more books look tacky, (besides, they just lay on the seat of your car all night don’t they?). As a note to Juniors: A quick study of this with practice and perhaps, just perhaps, you’ll be as successful as the 1979 Seniors. Oh well, not everyone’s perfect, (fortunately). Seniors never trip on the carpet. If on a rare occasion, they always look quickly to make sure no one saw them. Seniors do not play hooky, skip school, or come up missing. They may not be around, but they always have a good excuse. Seniors are not obnoxious, (Exceptions: Tony Rickel, Lee Dittman, David Bornmann, etc, etc.) Seniors avoid throwing food at lunch, (un- less someone else starts it, then they uncon- sciously throw it back). Seniors do not race their motor’s, reave it up,” do burnies , “lay patches”, “lock em up”, donuts”, or “Starsky and Hutches.” (Ex- ceptions are: Greg Leininger, Chuck Bussard, Etta Hurd, Shelly Wright, Jeff Puterbaugh) Seniors do not fall on the ice. (However if they do, they pretend as if they broke their arm to make it look good.) Finally!!!

(Remember the ancient proverb: You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friend's nose.) Seniors are annoyed when people wear “high-water” pants. (This is an uncouth dressing habit.) Seniors enjoy watching: “Three's Company,” Soap,” Saturday Night Live,” and the “Pink Panther Show.” (They simply refuse to watch: “Meet the Press,” Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom,” “Wally’s Work- shop,” and “Mister Roger's neighborhood.” Seniors are offended when people “curse in their presence. They feel it cheapens the offenders vocabu- lary and not only is embarrassing to the listeners but also shows poor character. (That’s a good laugh!!)

Senior Superstars Sound-off Seniors always turn in homework assignments. (The period from when it is turned in ranges from one week late to an all time record set by Da- vid Bornmann of one complete se- mester late. Congratulations David!) Seniors are usually willing to sac- rifice a Saturday night to stay home and take care of younger sister or brother (just as long as that’s not the night of a “wild and crazy party.” You know, the kind where everyone meets at someone’s house and they all sit around the fireplace singing songs, and playing charades, and drinking 7-up and koolaid, and eat- ing brownies.) Seniors love Steve Martin. Seniors anticipate May 20, as being a major high point in their life. (Anti yes, I do mean high! That is, their spirits will be soaring high with pride and dignity. HA! HA!) Note: Anyone who doubts any of this material can contact any one of the 1979 Seniors.

Seniors—153 MONEY DOESN'T COME EASY “Juniors are still needed to work at Friday’s game; please sign up in the commons.” This announcement became very famil- iar to the Juniors who sold concessions at all home basketball and football games. The reason for selling concessions was to raise money for the Junior-Senior Prom, the Junior’s main event of the year. Ricky Sitts’ and David Newlin were the concession manages. He did a very good job of drafting workers and organizing the things to be done. Another money making project for the juniors this year was magazine sales. This year’s goal was 10,000 dollars; we fell a little short but did sell 8,000 dollars worth of magazine subscriptions. This year’s leading salespersons were Dwight Shew- man, Penny Hudson Kelly, Kim Nelson, Nancy Shriver, Jeff Murphy, Tina Sander, and Marty Smith.

What's so different about being a junior? Freshmen and sophomores don’t see. But the seniors and juniors this year know You have one big responsibility. As juniors you have to raise money To sponsor the prom in the spring So starting with 29C in our treasury We knew we would have to get working. Being a junior isn’t so bad It has it’s advantages, you know Look at it this way, eleven years down And one more year to go. When we look at this annual After our school years are done.

Juniors—157 JUNIORS ACCOMPLISH COALS This year the ’79 juniors accom- plished many things. We sold $8,000 dollars worth of magazines, sold concessions till the came out our ears, and raised $4,000 dollars for the junior-senior prom, “Sharing the Night Together” We also accom- plished goals in other areas. Athlet- ics seems to always get top billing, and this year juniors showed their stuff by leading in a lot of athletic teams. Scholastically we all faced trying to pass U.S. History with Mr. Sipe and Mr. Fleetwood; it wasn’t easy, but most of us made it. Mr. Makula and Ms. Mason also socked it to us in the grammar department which stunned most of us, but made us work a little harder than normal. Be- sides the normal classes, all of us had to take the Iowa test and col- lege-bound juniors took the P.S.A.T. When it comes to the good ole’ Valley pride, juniors always seem to be right on top when you suddenly hear from the stands “80”, “80,” ju- niors, Juniors , “80”. After reaching the goal of our ju- nior year, we had to start mapping out and designing long-range ideas for our future by talking to counsel- ors and exploring college campuses. When the year was over and done, the juniors sat back and relaxed, and waited for the long awaited se- nior year. Top High! Mary Jameson and Chris Gross display friendship at T.V.H.S.

I was very nervous so I thought I would try on my dress. Guess what? It didn’t fit. I guess I ate too many cookies at Grandma’s last Sunday. I decided I could still wear it. Oh well, my shoes still fit—or did they? Finally, it was time to get ready. A nice hot shower would have made me feel better. Too bad my sister had just taken a bath and there wasn’t any hot water. You know it must have really been a good prom. Once I got there I forgot all my problems. 160—Juniors Prom Gives Chills, Cara Smalley, Joel Smith. Lisa Smith.

Lower Left- June Ferguson is glad to be back from Texas, MAD DASH FOR GRUB We wanted to compare our school with another school, and a good per- son to ask was June Ferguson. She went to John Jay High School in San Antonio, Texas. She told us how the school operated and some experi- ences she had. There were over four thousand students enrolled there. School there began at eight-twenty a.m. and ended at three-thirty p.m., having one hour classes and seven minute breaks. Every student had to have an identification card with a photo of them on it. There were one hundred and fifty teachers, two vice principals, a dean of girls and one principal. When they had a con- vocation everyone had to pay to see it. For pep rallies everyone went outside, and the cheerleaders had to stand on top of the building so ev- eryone could see and hear them. When they had cheerleader tryouts, the girls tried out in front of all the students and judges. Class officers were determined by having each participant give a speech for the stu dents to vote on. If you took driver’s training you had to pay eighty dollars for three months. You could take it during study hall in the school year if you wanted to, or you could take it in the summer. When taking exams, they were two periods long for each one, and were longer then what ours are. The kids didn't treat the school very good. It was a nice school but wasn’t handled correctly. It had elevators for the handicap. They also had a football stadium. For P.E. the girls and boys both had a separate gym of their own. Usually there were one hundred in each class. If you got in trouble for skipping out of school, for fighting etc., you were to serve isolation for a day. You could not take any work in with you; instead, you just sat all day in the isolation room, and made the work up later. June commented that she didn’t like the school at all, and that she liked ours a lot better. Sophomores—163 SOPHOMORES MEET CHALLENGES For the sophomore class, it seemed like it was a long time for that freshman year to come to an end. Along with the teasing and being picked on, they felt that it would never end. When finally the doors were opened for another year, the sophomores had more con- fidence in themselves and were ready to face the challenges that were in store for them in the coming year as sophomores. With the classes that were offered to the class or the ones that were required, you found many students busy in their work and also found some who were too full of gossip to take an ac- tive part in their classes or do their home work. Many sophomores were always out in the halls bugging other students who were in classes. All in all, the sophomores had a good year, and they accomplished what they set out to do. Many of the outstanding students were accepted to the National Honor Society. They really wanted to try in their second year of school and to be more in- volved in clubs and after school ac- tivities. Upperclassmen didn’t seem to pick on them so much; people seemed to get to know them a lot better also. Sophomores awaited the time when they could get their li- censes and when they were old enough to date. Upper Right- Working in shop, Mike Johnson and Mark Yates find that it isn't all fun and games.

Mr. Skinner stated how many majors and minors were needed in order to graduate. He also mentioned the classes required which included U.S. history and junior literature, and the elective classes. These classes were the ones that students chose to take. They started before spring break, which was March 16- 26. They did it this way so they could get the schedules back in time to work out any conflicts in a stu- dent’s schedule. Kathy Luckenbill, Michael Mappin. Mary Lou McClone, Rod McCloughan.

It was done a little different; instead of holding a class meeting, they had ballots in each English class. Last year class officers were, President, Charlie Sheetz; Vice President, Robin Waddle; Secretary Jenny Leininger; Treasurer, Shelly Gross. They did a good job, some had quite a few other activities. Charlie was in basketball, National Honor Society and student council. Robin was in Student Council, Jenny was in Sun- shine Society, Gymnastics and a varsity cheerleader, and Shelly was in Sunshine Society, Gymnastics and a Vikette. The Sophomores owe a big thanks to the few people who helped make the banner for the homecoming banner contest. Their theme was “Hot Blooded Check it and See for a Victory.” They worked after school for about a week. The banner was awarded first place and twenty dollars under the class divi- sion. It went into the treasury for class activities. With the help of the sponsors, Beth Barr, Don Craw, Bob Igney, and Doug Makula, the soph- omores made it through the year with a feeling of accomplishment. ! i Keith Smith, Lisa Smith, Sherri Smith.

Sophomores—169 Freshman Decisions The first week or so the Freshman class was all turned around. They couldn’t open their lockers, couldn't find their class rooms, and were late for class. The freshman sponsors were: Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Eggleston, Mr. Glingle, Mr. Phillips. The Fresh- man officers were President, Brian Cook; Vice President, Mike Wagoner; Secretary, Sara Harrell; Treasurer, Jill Fites. The freshman had a lot of deci- sions to make, for instance the kind of clubs they would like to join. Many of them didn't have a big deci- sion to make in classes before, and the idea of being able to choose the subjects they wanted excited them. Many of them chose the subjects that would help them. 170—Freshman Beth Adams. George Bailey. Roni Baker. Sarah Baker. Beth Banghart. Jennie Bell. Mike Bennett. Rhonda Blanton. Jeff Boggs.

But, to the upperclassmen, it’s a year they would like to forget about or wouldn’t like to do over again. It’s one of those tough years that they never want to have to face again, especially since they don’t like the classes that they more-or- less have to take. The thought of doing it all over again almost makes you want to cry out loud. The first thought to the upperclassmen when it becomes a new year is what kind of funny stunts they can play on the new freshman. It’s hard enough to be a freshman, without being has- sled by some upperclassmen. Some funny stunts get played on them, for instance getting set on the water fountain—just all kinds of funny things.

Freshmen—173 A Whole New Experience The beginning days of school for the freshman has been rough for them. For instance, they were scared and had to get use to where their classes were. By the middle of the month they finally got their heads on straight. There were many different things the freshman had to face in their first year at the Valley. For instance, many of them had never been inside the Valley except for the basketball games. The teachers were all new to Above Lori Haas looks as if she’s trying to learn something that's very hard. Right Robert Reed looks like he's going to pull a fast one. Far Right Mary Hopkins looks like she’s in a hurry. them, and they didn't know half of the kids that were here because they were either from the other junior high or they were upperclassmen that never had paid much attention to them before. They had to face the problem of being the babies in the school and being looked down upon by many of the upperclassmen when they didn't do what they were expected to do. All this and more contributed to a very scary first year for the freshmen. By the time the end of the first se- mester came along, most of the freshman were getting to know many of the new kids and making new friends. They learned where all the classes were and all about the new teachers. Now they aren’t strangers any more, but just one more part of the big Viking family. 1 174—Freshman Jerry Meadows, Juanita Mettler, Lori Miller. Luther Miller. Scott Miller. Shaun Miller.

Freshman—175 Learning Responsibilities The freshman year consists mostly of learning new ways of studying, and getting priorities straight, learning not only in the sense of school work but learning how to get along with people who are older. Because they were just getting use to being the top man in Junior High. And now all of the sud- den, they’re back on the bottom. The other thing they had to start doing is having more responsi- bilities. If they were in a sport, for instance, they had a responsibility to their coach, teammates, and to themselves to represent our school the best they know how. Another re- sponsibility was to just make sure that everything got done that they were supposed to have done. They were also supposed to have a pen or pencil with them every single day, and some of the teachers placed cer- tain restrictions on them if they came to class without them, like de- ducting points off of their grade ev- ery time they came to class without certain materials, such as paper. It’s only to teach them to be more re- sponsible young adults, although the some of the freshman might not agree. Top Right— Lisa Hoagland. What are you studying that’s so interesting?

In basketball we won our first-ever sectional win, in track we won, both boys’ and girls’, the TRC champion- ship, and in football we advanced to the regional. You might have heard new ex- pressions like “say what?”, AND “what you talkin’ ’bout!”. The most popular one you might have heard is “Be Serious”. This year the new fads were clogs, straight leg jeans and frizzy hair dos. Some of the things that went on this year we've tried to capture through the people in pictures.

Closing—219 In completing the final pages of the 1979 SAGA, I find myself won- dering where the time has gone. Seems as if the school years had just begun and before we know it, it’s all over for another year. As EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, my job has been less strenuous as our advi- sor, Linda Mason, requested that yearbook be a class instead of an ex- tra-curricular activity. I realize I must take time to thank those who have made this yearbook possible. To Linda Mason, a big THANK YOU for your time, effort and most of all your patience when it came close to deadline time. To Mr. Loran Skinner, for his cooperation when it came time to take organization pic- tures. I would also like to thank Mike and Terry Klondaris and their staff at COX STUDIO, and Martha Swain of DEBRULERS STUDIO of Rochester. George Kingsley, our Herff-Jones representative for his time, he spent with us trying to ex- plaing why this has to be this way and that, that way. To Mrs. Juna Gram and Mrs. Joanne Welch for the use of the Typing and Intensive Office Lab typewriters. And the I.O.L. Girls for the typing they did for us when we were in a jam. A big thank you to Mrs. Kathy Eggleston, for listening to all my gripes throughout the last year. And you the subscribers and advertiser for your loyal patronage. And most of all to my STAFF, who spends many, many hours toiling over photos, copy and captions. And finally you, the Students of T.V.H.S. for being involved in school activities, and making this year very special. In many years to come, as you flip through these pages, I hope that many memories have been pre- served. We, ourselves, have special memories, friends and events that are special to us. 1 hope this year’s SAGA captured those memories. Some memories cannot be captured; those are for us to keep in our minds. As a member of the CLASS OF 1979, my classmates and I must say good-bye to T.V.H.S. and the Faculty. And best wishes to next year’s EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Sharon Surface and her ASSISTANT EDI- TOR Shelly Stokes and to Linda Mason. It has been fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
