Tippecanoe Valley High School Mentone, Indiana 46539 Volume 9 Valley Rises High “Why ‘Rising High in ’84’?” one might ask. Valley did rise high in ’84. The theme speaks not only of improve- ments and accomplishments made, but of an aura—an entire mood. August of ’83, as had Augusts before, brought the beginning of a new school year. Only this particular beginning was different from any that had come before. The close of the previous year had seen the resignations of both the principal and assistant principal. So when the doors opened for the ’84 year, everyone was anxious to see what changes were to come. The new administrators, Mr. John Hill—principal, and Mr. Mark Skiles— assistant principal, had anticipated those anxious feelings and had worked hard all summer to ensure a smooth be- ginning. Although the new year brought many changes, most of the members of the TVHS community felt the changes were for the better. As the year progressed, and August turned into September and then Octo- ber, Valley made increased strides for- ward. Students became involved in all aspects of school life, and many began to stand out in the different areas of inter- est, proving Valley was indeed on the rise. And it was important that both teachers and students alike realized that the support of Valley as a quality-educa- tion institution was behind them. Every- one began to look at Valley in a different light—one that cast a glow of pride around it. Even the communities get into the act as members of Akron set off helium balloons. Valley rises high in sports, as well as in all aspects of school life.

Valley’s tough defense breaks down an Eagle play. Homecoming: An Upset Spirit and pep filled the air as the Vi- kings held their ninth annual Homecom- ing Olympics. There were thirteen teams that participated in the following events: the bat race, the pony express, the cato- logue race, and the water buffalo. The winners were the “Suicidal Seniors”: Kisten Lackey, Sherry Lafferty, Tina Shepherd, Krista Martin, Billy Kelly, Shad McConkey, Greg VanDcWater, and Joe Hawkins. Many hours were spent before and after school preparing banners. There were two division in the banner competi- tion: class and club. The seniors won a close battle over the juniors with the slo- gan, “No One Violates Viking Air- space.” The juniors came in second with “Sweet Dreams are Made of This, Val- ley Vikings 1983 State Champs.” Art club ran away with the first place club banner with, “It’s Hard to De-Feet the Vikings When You’re a Chicken.” The homecoming game was a bit of an upset. Valley took its first loss during homecoming from the Oak Hill Eagles with a 10-37 score. Even though the score ended differ- ently than the Vikings had expected, some great performances were seen. Senior Lee Swihart had 87 yards rush- ing, and junior Robbie Dunnuck had 3 punts for 92 yards. There were several other players who made good impres- sions on the fans. The game ended leav- ing Valley with a 7-1 record, placing the Vikings 2nd in the TRC behind Oak Hill. The Vikings’ homecoming was com- pleted with a dance sponsored by the stu- dent council. The World of Sound and Light provided the music, ending all the homecoming festivities a success. Homecoming 5 6 Amateur Entertainment Valley held their 10th annual Viking Varieties on May 16, at 7:00 P.M. The Varieties were filled with unique humor that only the Valley students could think of. Mr. Pace was the sponsor of Viking Varieties and plans to keep them an an- nual part of Valley’s school year enter- tainment. There were thirteen routines per- formed. The cheerleaders opened the show with their rendition of PYT by Mi- chael Jackson. The Cheerleaders also did their Yellow Submarine routine. Other routines were the Chipmunks, Brenda Wright's humorous display of her bicycle riding talent, and of course the Swickettes. Jill Nanz ended the evening with “Endless Love” and “For Those Tears I Cried.” Teresa Wiard (Margcric Sticky Lips) and Tom Lester (Captain Red Eye Fierce) prepare to oper- ate on their most recent patient in their “Smash skit. Pat “Dinger” Morgan isn’t sure what to think about the skit. Derrill Swick and John Baker sing out as members of the Swickettes. Viking Varieties Shelley Utter solemnly sings a Christian song by Sandy Patty. Viking Varieties 7 Rob Cumberland, member of the Chipmunks, shows dual abilities in vocals and on keyboard. Jill Nanz puts everything she has into her piece, “Endless Love.” Sherry Lafferty and Kisten Lackey pei form their skit, “The Potty.” Faithfully I’m Forever Yours Dressed in tuxedos and formals, along with having freshly washed and cleaned cars, couples began to arrive at the Elks Club around Rochester’s Lake Manitou. It was approximately 7:15 on Saturday, April 28. The couples arrived for a night of ro- mance, dinner, and dancing to the sound of The Edge” playing “Faithfully I’m Forever Yours,” the theme of the 1984 prom. Dinner was served promptly at 7:30 —a feast of ham, shrimp, salad, potato, and vegetable. Shortly after dinner, stu- dents began to drift—either upstairs where pictures where being taken, or outside, where lights shone off the lake. Around ten-thirty, Mr. Hill presented the candidates for king and queen, duke and dutchcss. The winners were then an- nounced: duke—Mike Bebo, dutchess— Shawnitia Hartzler; king—Greg VanDeWater, queen—Julie Manwar- ing. By midnight, the hall was nearly emp- ty, but the evening had been a success. After weeks of looking for the perfect dress, ordering tuxedos, and finding just the right flowers, it seemed the night had come and gone in a flash. The special memories, however, of the 1984 junior- senior prom, will never be forgotten. Prom Duke and Dutchess: Mike Bebo and Shawni- tia Hartzler. Prom King and Queen: Greg VanDeWater and Julie Manwaring. 8 Prom Dutchess candidates Amy Bibler and Shawnitia Hartzler receive their roses.

Prom 9 THE CLASS OF ’84 TURN THEIR TASSELS On Sunday May 20th at 2:00 was the final step in the high school lives of the Tippecanoe Valley senior class of ’84. As the seniors entered the gym to take their walk down graduation lane, each was handed a long red silk rose. The band at that time played the theme for this occa- sion “Pomp and Circumstance.” The Valedictorian, Mark Toetz, and Saluta- torian, Mary Mathias gave their ad- dresses to the past and to the future. Other speeches were given by Brenda Wright and Greg VanDeWater. The Senior Class Choir sang “Passages”, and the band played “Concert Over- ture.” After receiving their diplomas, the new alumni all proceeded with the traditional turning of the tassel making them official graduates. f 1 Senior Saga members Angie Shafer and Colleen Sopher rev up for graduation. Jody Ladd looks to her peers: “This is it guys. We did it.” Kim Trout smiles with the acknowledgement that a new world lies ahead. The now alumni of TVHS exit the graduation ceremony ready to meet the challenges to come. Graduation 11 Operatives Wednesdays were activity days. Dif- ferent clubs met during the last twenty minutes of each class. There was a lot of club business to be taken care of, and a lot of decisions to be made. Club spirit, campus to see the production of “Ham- however, went much further than those let”; or the ski club praying for snow, Wednesday activity periods. During the hoping they would still be able to say meetings, one could hear the planning of “yes to Michigan and their planned ski an assortment of activities: the French retreat. club and Spanish club planning their trip Valley spirit, displayed by student in- to Chicago: the drama club excitedly volvemcnt in these activities, continued discussing their journey to the Purdue to rise high throughout the year. Extensive Sunshine “Quiet rang out through the room as Mrs. Eggleston attempted to bring order to the hundred girls so that a Sunshine Society meeting could be conducted. One main thing occurring during the year was the choosing of an ideal Lady. A Sunshine girl attempted to bring “sunshine to that lady by gifts and cards in return for the “sunshine she had given. Each girl also drew a name of another sunshine member for Peanut Pal week. During the November 19 basket- ball game, the Sunshine Society held a cake raffle to raise money for the Riley’s ■Childrens’ Hospital. The club also voted on a person from each grade who spread the most “sunshine throught the school. This year the club decided to sell rolls and milk between 8:15 and 8:25 in the morning in order to raise money. As a result of taking intensive office lab, each student is automatically a member of Office Education Associ- ation. OEA promotes business and office education. Members raised money in or- der to go to contest by selling boxes of M M’s, they also sold clothes from the Beeline Style show. At contests, members chose from sub- jects such as accounting, shorthand, gen- eral clerical, records management, job interviews, prepared verbal speeches, ex- temporaneous speeches, proofreading, and business arithmetic. “Stay Cool, was often heard to help the members get ahold of themselves.

These steps began before school started when the Corp attented summer camp at An- derson College with the band. The hard work of the summer paid off .as the Corp qualified for the first time in marching both with and without flags at Terre Haute. They also participated in the Indiana State Auxiliary contest qualifying for finals. They finished 10th place out of the 400 teams competing in the state. Auxiliary raised money to travel by selling cheese and sausage and pizzas, and by sponsoring a car wash. One of the exciting trips was going to the Shenen- doah Apple Blossom Festival in Wash- ington, D.C. after receiving the honor of invitation. On March 25, the Valley drill team held a drill team contest at the Valley. The teams were to perform individual dance routines and group routines with flags. Valley’s team finished in Division I. Auxiliary members get a few pointers from their camp adviser.

Art and Drama Clubs Express Creativity MacBeih and Company performed their first play “Pride and Prejudice” on November 3, 5, 6. The play was one of the scripts based on Jane Austin’s novel. The play takes place in England during the mid-19th century. The drama club worked hard in rehearsing and prepar- ing for the play, spending several hours before and after school. The club sponsored several unique oc- casions: Greek Night, Viking Varieties, Purdue Theatre Day, and Parents’ Night. During Greek Night, which is when everyone wears a toga and a big dinner is prepared, honors were given to best actor or actress, best class member, best overall participation, Thespian, and Thespian Initiation. Purdue Theatre Day was a trip to Purdue where they saw the full production of Hamlet. The Vi- king Varieties were various stunts per- formed by the club, and by anyone else interested in performing. Parents’ Night was held on Dec. 12, 1983 and was de- signed to honor the parents of drama members, as well as to inform them of the production activities. Mrs. Barr ex- plains the purpose of drama club as “Striving for Excellence.” Student scholarships are the major purpose of the art club. The scholarships go to deserving art students to help fur- ther their educations. The scholarships help these students with the purchase of needed supplies and textbooks. The art club made money through various activi- ties for scholarships, club shirts, senior keys, and other things. A Christmas Arts Crafts Bazaar was only one of the art club activities. They also sponsored a cake raffle and an album raffle. Angie Shafer and John Bryant all ready to col- lect the money as Shelly Utter tries to decide what to buy. Row 1: J. Lowe, T. Schnitz, R.

Spanish Club All Travel And Fun for Foreign Language Clubs An option is what foreign language students have at Valley. They are now able to specialize in either Spanish or French. Involvement in either of the clubs reinforces learning of the language and the culture, and then enhances that culture here at the Valley. The French club met once a month during the year with Mrs. Buss to dis- cuss the activities that were planned throughout the year: shopping at Glen- brook Mall, two French dinners at Cafe Johnnel, cooking a French meal in the Home Ec. room, and a trip to Chicago. To end the year, French club awarded a scholarship on Senior Awards Night to an outstanding senior French student. The Spanish club also met once a month with Senor Don Craw to discuss activities planned. They went to the Ha- cienda restaurant, to Chicago for dinner and shopping, and to dinner at Chi Chi’s restaurant in South Bend. While at Chi Chi’s, the group sang Happy Birthday to Senor Craw, even though it was not his birthday. The waiters and waitresses thought that it was and brought him a sombrero to wear. While they were not working on any special activitiy they cooked Mexican gastromic delights, and made projects depicting the words and the culture of Mexico and Spain. April Gothan and Peggy Miller begin to pre- pare their Quiche Loraine. French Club 21 VALLEY’S FUN AND GAMES “Checkmate” was a term that could be heard in study halls activity per- _ iods as different chess club members challenged one another. Cutting class is something that almost every kid does once in his four years at Valley. Some kids also like to get out of class for club meetings when they aren’t even a member of the club. Mr. Stath stopped having chess club meetings be- cause of this, but the die-hard chess players like Eric McKee asked to start having meetings once again for just the ones who wanted to play chess. Members planned a trip to Ft. Wayne for the Chess competition in hopes to again have the chance to go to Indiana- polis for the state competition. Chess club has been around at Tippe- canoe Valley for 3 years. Mr. Stath ex- plains the club as “a chance to further enrich the minds of all people interested in chess.” The club met during activity period, but practiced their moves after school. Unusually warm weather in February forced Valley’s ski club to cancel their annual trip to Bittersweet Lodge in Michigan. The group was disappointed but they weren’t defeated. The club sponsored two roller skating parties at the East Lake Skate Center in Warsaw. Even though the weather wasn’t al- ways cooperative, the club remained to be one of the more popular activities at Valley. Members met as necessary un- der the guidance of Wayne Cumberland and Jon Parker. Mondays were always exciting as the group climbed aboard a Valley Bus and headed for Mt. Wawasee near Syracuse. There, weather permit- ting, students could flaunt their exper- tise on skis. Billy Kline concentrates on his strategy while Chris Zolman looks for a sign in the eyes of Billy’s opponent. Row 1: J.

Not For Teachers Only “Do your homework!” FEA, however, isn’t just for people who want to be teachers. FEA helps students to learn to have patience and to understand how people feel. Future Educators of America was a very small but active club. The club sponsored an Elf Week, during which each member did special things for a teacher. The members had doughnuts for the teachers in the morning, and did other things to brighten up their days. At the end of the week, the elves' identities were exposed. Mrs. Carmichael, the sponsor, started a program allowing stu- dents to go and help elementary teachers with their classes. Andrea Lamar was one such helper. “There would be many things to learn while teaching these ele- mentary students,” said Mrs. Carmi- chael. The members also attempted to establish a plague and or a scholarship in honor of the late Mr. Igney who had been a sponsor of FEA for many years. Somewhat like the FEA club, the Fel- lowship of Christian Athletes is an orga- nization in which students can relate to others, share problems, and learn to know themselves. The FCA had a week- ly huddle every Thursday before school for a brief devotional Bible study. The members were willing to help anyone who might have come to them. When— students or staff members were in the hospital, the members sent them person cards. “The club has been in existence for two years. The FCA looks like it may have a good future,” said Mrs. Hull. “The FCA is still in its formative stages. We hope that with the additional outside help from Mr. Terry Canfield of the Ak- ron Church of God, and from Grace Col- lege, the membership in FCA will be an enlightening experience.” FCA members line up to give their contributions. Mrs. Carmichael discusses the future plans for FEA with Lisa Duzenbery. FEA 25 Row 1: L. Duzenbcry, S. Unzickcr, M. Toctz. B. Mrs. Kindig shows Y. Gunnels, office aide, her Wright. J.

The main goal of the student council is to keep a line of communication going be- tween the students and the administra- tion. Homecoming and Valentines Day dances were held. After the November 26 basketball game “Special Guest” ap- peared. The members decorated a Christmas tree which stood in the com- mons. One other activity was selling cor- sages for Valentines Day. The library and office aides had a dif- ferent purpose. “Alert and on the job,” are what office aides need to be. said Mrs. Kindig. They typed up announce- ments, ran errands, picked up atten- dance slips, and made change for stu- dents. The media aides shelved books, made copies, helped people find books, and checked out books for students. The members also had to have a good atti- tude and be willing to do their jobs. Unlike the media and office aides, ad- mittance into National Honor Society is based on one's grades. The purpose of NHS is to give recognition to those stu- dents who have achieved academically. An A or B average had to be obtained and the recommendation of at least four teachers was needed to be a member. To raise money, the club sponsored a cake raffle at the November 26 basketball game.

Each year offi- cers and members register in proficiency events and go to state meetings in In- dianapolis for two or three days. They also participated in giving parties for members of nursing homes, serving cake at the homecoming dance, and babysit- ting at the school plays. The purpose of the club is to help gain skills in consumer buying and homemaking, to provide ser- vice projects for the school and commu- nity, and to gain leadership qualities. Like the FHA, the FFA is a very help- ful organization. It teaches the members to have a sense of leadership. They learn to have confidence in themselves. “When they are at judging meets, the members can’t afford to have doubts,’’ says Mr. Kantner. After being in FFA, most people feel they have obtained a certain love of the country. The main purpose of the club is to develop newer and better ways of agricultural life. The FFA tries to stay in the groove of things. They have a softball team during the summer and a basketball team dur- ing the winter. The members have dairy, livestock, and poultry judging teams. The members also go to contests and try their judging techniques against other FFA members their age.

The team met and conquered Rennselaer in the sectional game, but suffered a disappointing loss to Bishop Luers in the regional. The boys’ cross-country team was able to send one exceptional runner to 30 Athletics the semi-state competition: and the boys' freshman basketball team captured a tourney title for the first time in fresh- men history. The wrestlers, also aspiring to new heights, advanced to the regionals and boasted of sending one able wrestler to the state. The boys’ sports were not alone in their success. The girls’ volleyball team made their way to the sectional finals but. there, were downed by Culver Girls' Academy. And the girls’ gymnastic team was proud to send Jenny Johnson to the regionals. The spirit of the athlete didn’t end with organized sports, however. Intra- murals and recreational sports kept Val- ley students active. Organized or unor- ganized, a championship game or a jog around the block, Valley athletics helped the students fulfill their own personal goals. A Mere Three Losses Equals Success Only one loss, and that to Warsaw, made for an outstanding year with a re- cord of 7-1. On August 29, Valley’s ju- nior varsity was victorious with a score of 34-13. The Vikings were up for Rochester be- cause of the defeat in ’82. The ’83 junior varsity won over the Zebras 3-2. Even though it was a win for Valley, Quarter- back Phil King felt the players had not played up to their potential. The prep player award (the J.V. player that worked hardest in practice against the varsity) was given to Mark Hughes. Jimmie Rodriguez is finally taken down by a strong 71 of Bremen. Shane Picklesimcr gets his kicks against Bremen. On October 6th, an impressive Valley defense held Northwood at their one- yard line for a victory of 22-20. The freshman season ended with a record of 5-2 with losses to Bremen and Whitko. Awards for outstanding performances were given to captain John King, for showing good leadership; and to tackle point leader, Tom Finney. The Most Valuable Player award was given to Ja- mie Cullison for being leading scorer and rusher, and Mr. Hustle was awarded to Ronnie Adams. First Row: M. Hughes, J. Johnson, E. Cumberland. R.

Football 33 34 Varsity Football No Longer Unknown— Vikings Show Their Pride The Unknown Vikings are no longer unknown. On August 19th the Vikings came out in full force to show Northfield what a really good football team is made of. They won with a score of 42-6. Team effort then led to a successful 10-2 sea- son for 1983. Only Oak Hill, in regular season play and play-offs, was able to bring down the Vikings. Each individual is always an impor- tant part of the team. However, there are often individual stars that shine throughout the season. Steve Salmons was awarded best offensive tackle in All- State. Playing both offense and defense, Swihart had 332 carries, 23 touchdowns, and ran 8,600 yards for the 1983 season. On October 28th, Valley over- whelmed Rensselaer by a score of 35-0 in the playoffs giving them their leadway straight to Fort Wayne to play Bishop Luers on November 4. The Valley-Luers conflict ran into overtime with a 14-14 score. The Luers scored, leaving the Vi- kings one chance to tie the game. An incomplete pass, and then a fumble gave the Luers the chance to score again. They took advantage of the opportunity, ran for a touchdown, and the game end- ed 14-27. First year coach, Phil See commented, “The 1983 campaign was a good one for the Valley. We didn’t go as far as we wanted to or should have, but we went much farther than many people thought we would. It was different to play the underdog, but I feel we did it admirably. It was fun to make so many people be- lievers once again.” The pass is completed, but to no avail, as Shad McConkey takes down an Oak Hill Eagle. Front Row: R. Shcwman, S. Salmons, S. Yeager, E.

Tennis, Golf Begin to Rebuild C- As their seasons began, the golf and tennis teams started to rebuild as young prospects joined the teams. The girls' golf team consisted of all underclass- man, while the boys’ tennis team had only three seniors. Along with their sen- ior players the tennis team boasted of the Valley’s first exchange student to play tennis. Even though Victor Diaz was an ex- change student, tennis wasn’t foreign to him. He said, “1 liked the team, practic- ing, and going to other schools to play.” In Mexico, tennis is the same except there is no inter-school competition. There is just one big team instead of having a varsity and junior varsity team. The school team competes against clubs rather than other schools. A record of 3-13 was very deceiving for the tennis team. With only two re- turning lettermen from last year, the team started to rebuild. Chris Whet- stone and Chad Bibler turned in the best record of 6-6 as the number one doubles team. Mr. Stath was pleased with this record because this was Chris and Chad’s first year. A one point victory over Knox was the highlight of the season for the girls’ golf team. There were many close games but Valley just wasn’t able to pull them through. Each team the girls played was tough with Knox being no exception. By the end of the season their scores had gotten much better which showed much improvement. The team votes on one award: most improved. This year, freshman Laura Riedel improved the most in the eyes of her teammates. Allyson Clampitt got an award for low medalist and Paula Rie- del, for putting champ. The girls' golf team had a cake raffle on January 27th when the boys’ basket- ball team played Manchester. All the money they earned went to purchasing new golf bags and practice balls. Girls' Golf 37 Freshmen Set The Pace Freshmen runners set the pace for the cross country team, while the other run- ners kept in stride. A 4-6 record does not show the improvement each individual made during the season. Every night each runner put in six to ten miles of running before going home. Working hard and improving their times dis- played each individual's determination to be a better runner. The course they ran, although it var- ied, was not easy. They would start on the highway and then have to change to the rough school yard. It took a lot to be on the last mile and running up a hill and yet finish the course. Whether or not their legs were aching and their lungs were about to burst, they still finished. Just finishing made them feel a sense of accomplishment. The Harriers finished 4th out of 8 in the TRC. They were happy with this placement because they beat North Mi- ami after two regular season losses to them. Gary LaMar highlighted his own season by finishing 9th at the sectional. Gary continued training and placed 9th at regional to qualify him for the semi- state. There were 129 runners at the semi-state and Gary finished 86th. Gary LaMar points out that another Valley runner has entered the gates. 38 Cross Country Belinda Brown and Kathy Helmreich try to get their blood circulating after running the course.

Gymnastics—Volleyball New Coaches Aid Improvement “Sectional finals here we come! This was heard for the first time in years by the varsity volleyball team. Both varsity and JV improved their records during the ’83 season and sur- prised many opponents. The varsity’s two biggest regular season matches were on the road. Going up against a well- coached and good-sized LaVille team, the Lady Vikes won in two straight games by scores of 15-11 and 15-12. It wasn't so easy at Argos. It took three games to come out as winners with scores of 15-13, 6-15, and 15-9. When sectional time finally arrived, the Valley Spikers went in as underdogs and sur- prised Winamac by winning 15-4 and 16-14. The Lady Vikes were upset in the finals which was a big disappointment. Causing much of this excitement was a new addition to the coaching staff—J V Coach Ferris. She helped the JV to im- prove their record. She taught new drills and skills to the girls on both JV and varsity. “The girls showed a lot of im- provement since the beginning of the season,” said Coach Ferris, “and our huddle phrase, ‘RSKA’ (Rip Skin Kill Aces) brought out their aggressiveness.” Big things come in small packages, as the gymnasts proved in a fashionable way. When the season began there were eight competing members. With time came injuries to two girls, leaving a total of six competitors. Due to a neck injury, senior co-captain Julie Manwaring helped coach from the sidelines. Coach Bev Flarter said, “We really missed her in action. Anna Holloway was out due to a knee injury in the first meet of the season against Oregon-Davis. Even though the team only had six members, they still brought home big victories. Three members competed in the begin- ner category and three in the intermedi- ate. L to R: Teresa Wiard, Mgr, Kristen Johnson. Laura Reidel, Jenny Johnson, Coach Harter, Noelie Smith.

It was one night a week: a few hours of rough bas- ketball playing; along with the work and determination of any sports team here at Valley. Mr. Makula and Mr. Armstrong were the sponsors. They organized the sched- ule and tournaments for the season. They also set up scorers’ tables with Ju- lie VanDcWater running the clock. The team with the best score consisted of captain—Chris Griffis, Mark Mikel, Tim Lee, Andy Howard, Allen Shep- herd, and Billy Kelly. The team was un- defeated, the regular season champs, and also the tourney champions. The majority of the wrestling team was underclassmen. Therefore, they were looking forward to returning next season to help make the '84-85 season great. Tony Osterman led the team to regionals and wfas ranked 4th in the state by the end of the ’83-84 season. Three records were broken this year: Near Fall Points and Best 1st Year Record by Tony Osterman, and Most Pins In One Season by Tony Vuittonet. The team record was 4-6-2, but this was deceiving.

Freshmen Bring Home Tourney Title A 1984 tourney title, the first fresh- man title in Valley’s history, was achieved by the freshman boys' basket- ball team. On January 14th Valley traveled to Triton to play the host Trojans in the first round of the tourney, and they were ready. The Vikes demonstrated style and stamina in their 55-43 romp of the Tro- jans. Valley went into the finals against a well-coached, well-organized, and lough Bremen squad. The Lions never gave up, but in the end Valley prevailed by a close score of 43-41. The junior varsity started out the sea- son strong and with big victories. With an all new coaching staff, boys’ basket- ball came alive. The JV coach, Mike Miller, brought with him the incentive to win. Their biggest victory was a 50-46 win over Northwood. ------------------------------------------------------------1 Front Row: Phil King, Dan Butt, Rusty Zimpleman. Steve Lester.

J JV Boys Basketball 45 Attitudes Lead to Success When interviewed. Coach DuBois had a lot to say to and about the basketball team. “Thanks to the hard work, blood, sweat, and sometimes tears of the mem- bers on our basketball team, a very suc- cessful season was accomplished versus a very strong schedule. (The boys) mold- ed themselves into a unit by overcoming their adversities with their character and with their concern for one another.” “Perhaps the reason for their very suc- cessful season could be found in an ex- ample of their attitude. Instead of select- ing a most valuable player for the athletic banquet, (the boys) decided ev- eryone was very valuable to the team and, out of concern for all, decided not to have a ‘most valuable’ player.” “They are all most valuable to me,” said Coach DuBois. Valley ended the season with an 11-10 record. Their style of play was fast and fun. The Vikcs had many close games and some big wins. The team traveled to Plymouth anticipating a tough match with the defending state champs. Valley went in as the underdogs but came out as the winners. The final score was 64-60 in favor of Valley. With one game came a school record. Greg VanDeWater broke the free throw record this season by making 11 of 11 in one game. Greg VanDeWater makes his record-breaking free throw.

Boys’ Basketball 47 Double Victory Over Oak Hill An injury-plagued season made life tough for the Lady Vikes. The girls trav- eled to Oak Hill to play their big rival with one girl injured. Knowing the Ea- gles would be big and tough, the Vikes left the locker room with determination in their eyes. Valley played hard and strong on both offense and defense. When the final second ticked off the clock, the scoreboard lit up a score of 51 - 46 in favor of the Vikes. Girls’ basketball made a steady im- provement during the ’83-84 season. With only ten players on the varsity squad, many girls had to double their positions. The team had fun raising money by sponsoring a car wash and a bake sale. The money was put in the girls’ athletic fund to be used later when needed. Switching from volleyball to basket- ball, Coach Tracy Ferris brought with her a winning record. The JV finished the season with an 11-5 record. One big win came against Oak Hill. Playing the Eagles on their own court, the Vikes won by a score of 32-28. The Vikes participated in the Tiny Ti- ger Tourney as defending champs. Val- ley was ready to face Warsaw after beat- ing Triton 24-11 in the first round. Valley was defeated in the final game by the hosting Tigers. Many members of the freshman girls’ basketball team doubled as JV players also. Every freshman was determined to work hard and be the best she could. The freshman record was 1-2. “It was a plea- sure coaching these girls,” said Coach Carmichael, “because they worked hard all season.” Each girl put out every ounce of energy she had to prepare for her upcoming years in Valley sports.

She attended Purdue University and swam for the Boilermakers. “The boys did an excellent job this year con- sidering we only had 13 on the team,” said Coach Thompson, “Almost every- body achieved their personal best times.

Receiving captains stars were Eric McKee, Don Miller, and Matt Thompson. With many returning lettermen and many newcomers, the swim team broke five school records. They worked hard to achieve their goals and had a feeling of satisfaction after accomplishing them. The girls’ swim team finished the sea- son with a 3-11 record. One girl, Cathy Duncan, qualified for sectional. Even though their record wasn’t very good, the girls showed tremendous effort. 9 I Front Row Left to Right: Lori Quinlan.

She was joined by new assis- tant track coach Deb Thompson to help the girls improve their skills. They also improved their record, finishing the sea- son with an even 6-6. One of their six wins came against long-time track rival, Manchester. The Lady Vikes opened the meet with determination to be the best. When the meet was over the scoreboard lit up a score in favor of the Vikings, 67 to 42. There were some very impressive per- formances during the season. Betty Smith broke the school record for shot put five times. The record now stands at 35’5”. Betty Teresa Feldman, Lori Quinlan, and Andrea Scott all qualified for the sectional. Andrea and Betty did outstanding at the sectional by qualify- ing for the regional in West Lafayette. This year the coaches chose the win- ners of the awards. For the “most valu- able” player award, they chose the girl who helped out the team the most by scoring points. That award went to An- drea Scott. Betty Smith received the “most improved” player award and An- drea Scott and Berneda Johnson re- ceived captains stars. With head coach Duane Burkhart, as- sisted by Mike Miller and Jeff Salyers, the boys’ track team began to rebuild. Moving from last place in ’83 the Vikes finished third in the Valley Invitational Underclassmen meet this year. They also sent six boys to the sectional at War- saw.

With Deron Manwaring leading the Vi- kings with a 78, the boys’ golf team won the TRC title. Manwaring’s 78 was the second best score of the tournament. Valley has now won the TRC three years out of the last five. The two remaining years Valley has finished no lower than second. Dayne Manwaring set a new fresh- man record this season by averaging a 45.1. Deron Manwaring highlighted his season by scoring an eagle on the Par 4 18th hole at the Norwood Golf Course. That was only the second eagle in Val- ley’s history. The winner of the “low medalist” award was Deron Manwaring. Don Deron Manwaring walchcs his golf ball drop in the hole to help him become “low medalist . Scott captured the “most improved” player award, while Chris Whetstone re- ceived the “putting” award. With only one senior leaving the girls’ tennis team. Coach Bev Clampitt ex- pected to have a tough team returning next season. The team record was only 4- 7 but there were many good perfor- mances. Valley traveled to Northwood to play a team who practices all year round on inside courts, knowing it would be a tough match. With determination leading the way, Valley defeated the host Panthers. Sonya Unzicker received the captain’s star while Lisa Kindig received the “most improved” player award. Lisa Kindig also teamed up with Wendy Sparrow to obtain the best record.

Reigns E.S.P.—Enthusiasm, Spirit, and Pride—was the theme the cheerleaders worked hard to uphold all year. Boosting school spirit throughout the year was a big challenge. Each squad put in a lot of hard work, time, and effort to make the year full of E.S.P. During the summer it wasn’t all fun and play. The cheerleading squads held a cheerleading clinic for grades K-8. They also attended the Indiana Cheer Camp (ICC) at DePauw University dur- ing the week of June 27th to July 1st. They received a Spirit Award for out- standing enthusiasm. Even though there wasn’t a sponsor, the squads cooperated and pulled together for the upcoming year. Then, during the first week of school, Bev Harter stepped in as the sponsor. Practices were scheduled for Mon- days and Wednesdays at 7:00 A.M., but this schedule varied. During football season, practices w-ere daily. After foot- ball season, six guys stepped in to form a guys’ pep block and help the girls with mounts and stunts. To raise money, they sold stickers, jel- ly, old pep block t-shirts, and sponsored a cake raffle at the boys’ basketball game against Southwood on January 6th.

If a student were col- lege-bound, he could have chosen from several academic courses. If he were in- tent on pursuing a trade-skill job, he could have taken one or several of the industrial arts classes. And some stu- dents were able to find classes that pro- vided both credit and the opportunity to explore their creative talents. Choir, band, and journalism were just a few of the possibilities. The English department began co- ordinating a first-through twelfth-grade curriculum so that students in future years will have more consistency in their learning as they progress through the grades. Other academic departments will be doing the same thing in later years. In March, an Orientation Day was held to introduce upcoming freshmen to the academic choices awaiting them. And a Career Day was held in May. Professionals from the community came into the school to speak. Through this, students were made aware of the profes- sional possibilities available to them. All in all. Valley students, staff, and administration worked together, contin- ually striving to rise to new heights in the academic arena.

Science: More than Theory Mad scientists were once again let loose in the labs. They mauled animals, blew up experients, and, in general wrecked havoc. Science students tackled everything from science reports to col- lecting leaves. Science 9 students had a new teacher. Miss Ferris, whose only problem was grading papers, which, she said, she didn’t enjoy. Biology I students dissected clams and frogs, while Biology II students debated such subjects as the environment and animal welfare. In hu- man anatomy and physiology, the stu- dent’s attention during dissection was focused upon the fetal pig. The pig em- bryo is used in preference to other speci- mens because of its similarity in anato- my to that of a human. The dissection of the pig coincided with the students’ in- vestigation of different systems of the human body. For each of the systems, students were expected to locate and name specific structures. The muscular system, the skeletal system, the digestive system, the circulatory system, and the nervous system were the systems dissect- ed. Chemistry students studied theories and principles, then did experiments to show that they really do prove true. Science students at Valley saw that science is not just theory found in a text book, but that it can be found and en- joyed everywhere. 62 Science Mike Martzloff concentrates on “doctoring his data,” while Matt Brown tries to figure out what he is doing. LeAnn Burkett looks up uncertainly as she preapres to examine her pig in anatomy. Mindy Sparrow turns squeamish as she begins dis- secting in 4th hour anatomy. Dissecting In dissecting the students dissected the internal organs and studied their functions. They dissected the brain and nervous systems of worms and frogs, to name a few. They learn how the anato- my of different animals applies to the human anatomy. In this way the stu- dents became more familiar with sys- tems and functions of their own bodies. Everything Adds Up Computers are taking over. Every- where one looks, more and more people are using computers, whether it is at w'ork, at school, or even at home. The math and algebra classes, espe- cially, enjoyed the computers. Students learned more about how to use them properly, and how the computers work. Using computers while still in school will really help the kids in the future with their jobs and further education. Even though students often dread tak- ing math and algebra classes, the com- puter made them look forward to it. The computers made these classes more fun and exciting. The students in geometry Tim Warstler and Lisa Aldcrfcr work on math problems with the computers in their spare time. Nelson Cox shows great concentration while work- ing on the computer. classes seemed to have fun, also. Even though they weren’t working with the computers, they enjoyed working with geometric forms. The students in physics class had an interesting time working with the six basic units of matter and energy, and understanding the physical world. Mrs. Hull tried a few new things in general math. Every Friday, if the stu- dents had all of their work done, they got to go outside; do logic, word, number, and mystery puzzles; or just do whatever they wanted. Mrs. Hull said she enjoyed teaching her classes and she wanted her students to enjoy them too. 64 Math Tina Shepherd and Sonja Unzicker arc hard at work making programs in computer programming. Valley Computes Before students started using the computers, they had to learn how to use the computers properly and how the computers are pro- grammed. They learned how to en- ter problems and how to solve them. They also learned about the computer’s past history and what important roles the computers play in our society today. Freshmen Pre-Algebra students look eager to learn the basics of square roots. Everyone listens carefully as Mr. Welch teaches the basics in algebra. Math 65 English Department Creates Corporation-wide Curriculum The English department met several hours each week to develop a corpora- tion-wide curriculum: guidelines for English education so that all students will have the same opportunities. Mrs. Prater and Mrs. Klotz met on Monday evenings with the elementary and junior high school teachers to combine goals and establish the priorities of Valley’s English-educational program. With the guidance of Mr. Hill, the English teachers analyzed and described the material covered in the language Harold Miller seems to be only one hard at work in Mrs. Barr's speech class. program. Goals in categories such as lis- tening, reading, writing, speaking, study-habits, and analytical and critical thinking were broken down into smaller components. Once the program was es- tablished, a review board made up of community members examined the doc- uments to see whether or not they satis- fied the community. Teachers worked enthusiastically and eventually used the guidelines to help in the textbook adoption for the 1985 school year. 66 English Andrew Wood flips through the pages in search of his freshman English notes on the parts of speech. More Than Just Speech. Every sophomore had to take one half semester of speech, a course con- centrating on the communication arts of listening and speaking. Mrs. Barr tried to ease fears of public speaking and emphasize the other forms that communication takes. A purpose, a plan, organization, practice, and the ultimate presentation were the steps students went through to prepare their speeches. Mrs. Barr felt the class was both important, and inter- esting enough to hold the students’ attention. R. Zimplcman, E. Cumberland, D. Buti. K. Scott and J.

Bonjour Lecteurs! Foreign language classes have become more popular here at Tippecanoe Valley High School. More and more students are taking either a Spanish course or a French course. Spanish offers four years of study, while French offers three. Spanish students spent their class time studying the history of the language and how to conjugate verbs properly. The First year students spent their time learning the Spanish alphabet and how to pronounce Spanish words. Spanish II and III students journeyed to the Morris Civic Center Auditorium in October to see the play “El Sombrero de Tres Pi- cos.” In November, they visited the Ha- cienda restaurant in South Bend to enjoy Mexican quisine, and later shopped at the Scottsdale Mall. Their next trip was in December. They did some Christmas shopping at University Park Mall and enjoyed the Mexican dishes at Chi-Chi's Mr. Craw, director of foreign language, cracks a smile as he shows Spanish students his injured thumb. restaurant. In February, the Spanish classes prepared menus and cooked Mexican and Spanish dishes. Everything from caroling to cooking made for a busy year in French class. In October, they traveled to South Bend Century Center along with all area high school French students to see the play “Le Medicin Malgre Lue.” As the month of December arrived. Fort Wayne was their next destination. They went to Cafe Johnell, and then went Christmas shopping at the Glenbrook Mall. On the sixteenth, they caroled the halls at Valley. In February they cooked quiche and mousse. Foreign language week was held March 4th, with a display of posters. The French Club was in friendly compe- tition with the Spanish Club, competing in contests and games. There was also a language fair held in the Spring. m nmn a mu + 68 Foreign Language Victor Manuel Diaz Miron Ro- driguez, age 15, of Conhuila, Mexico, was a student at Death Valley for one school year. While Victor was here, he lived with Max Cumberland and family. Victor enjoyed being part of the Valley sports program. He was on the swim team, the golf team, and the tennis team. Victor spent his school year studying general math, drafting, art, English 10, body conditioning, and Spanish II. When Victor was asked what he liked most about Valley, he said, “All of the girls and Senor Craw.“ While Victor was here, he spent some time snow skiing at Mt. Wawasee. He said he really liked it except for the first two times he went. “I fell down a lot,” he said. Victor also visited Ft. Wayne, South Bend, Chicago, and New York. Victor left to return home in May. Waiting for him there were 4 his brother, Omar; his sister, I '0 Gilda; and his dog, Blacky. Madame Burkett delicately devours a French pas- try.

Foreign Language 69 All new History Department Brings a Novel Approach History, a required class at Valley, was totally new to many history stu- dents. Valley had five new teachers on the faculty, three in the history depart- ment. Students accepted the changes, the new faces, and the new ways of learning. Mr. Burkhart taught psycholo- gy, sociology, and history. Mr. Burkhart, Mr. Miller, and Mr. Salyers all showed movies in class. The most well liked was the “Blue and the Gray” which was about the Civil War. Mr. Miller, en- joyed his history classes, and driver’s ed as well. “History” he said, “is a subject that anybody can understand.” The most important thing he feels he dis- cussed was the Revolutionary Wars, be- cause they brought about the freedom that we have today. Mr. Miller hoped that students enjoyed his class. He tries to make history interesting. He realizes that he must enjoy the subject and be enthusiastic before his students will.

During those four weeks, bills were pre- sented and were cither passed or defeat- ed, and legislative issues were discussed. Seniors also wrote to Congressmen of the various states and explained the mock congress procedure.

Foods II Class-------- “Makes the Grade.” “There were many mistakes made in bread lab, but,” says Roberta Lad- son, “we still came through.” The stu- dents were allowed to pick their own partners and recipes. Mrs. Toetz gave a demonstration on November 1st, and on the 2nd and 3rd the students were set to go. Sharon Walters made a bread basket, in which she later put a flower arrangement and presented to her Sunshine Lady. Ag. joins Home Ec. to view Pork Processing There’s a new mode of transportation to school now, tractors. On March 14, Agri- culture classes all over the nation partici- pated in National Agricultural Week by having a tractor drive. The next day, March 15, they held a Farmers’ Appre- ciation Pancake and Sausage Supper, as another part of the celebration. There was dairy practice in the winter months. The Farm Bureau and Pork Producers association donated one-half of a hog to the home economics and agriculture classes. Representatives from Pork Pro- ducers cut it up into the different cuts of meat, and showed the agriculture classes what happens to their product after it goes to market. The Home Ec. classes learned how nu- tritious pork is, and various ways to pre- pare it. The pork was then given to the home economic classes to cook. The Foods II classes prepared a Thanksgiving dinner for the faculty on November 9th, and they served a Christmas dessert buffet on De- cember 9th. Another area of home economics is In- dependent Living, a course for non-major Home Ec. students who want to make it on their own. They learn a little bit about everything they need to know living on their own. Finally, Clothing I II students did individual projects, which were fixed to their ability level. They made anything from jeans and shirts, to prom dresses. 72 Agriculture and Home Economics Second hour Ag. class stands patiently as they await Mr. Kanter’s instructions.

Business Importance Is an education in business really im- portant? Should every student take at least one business course in high school? Mrs. Egglston, who is a teacher of two business courses, seemed to think so. She also thinks that her students in account- ing don’t have to become accountants to make their educations useful or impor- tant; they will use it throughout their lives. Talking to students about how they can use their educations is something Mrs. Egglston likes to do. Mrs. Welch, who also has a busy schedule teaching business, thinks it’s important to give students confidence in themselves, and teach them a skill that will always be there to use. Goals are important also. She helps her students learn how to read and follow directions. Teaching shorthand, typing, and of- fice lab could, at times, be very frustrat- ing, but Mrs. Graham teaches them well. Office lab had a busy schedule. They traveled to Zimmer’s, Inc., and Lincoln National Bank in Ft. Wayne. They also listened to a guest speaker lec- ture on Office” hair and make-up, and proper attire for an office job. Mrs. Gra- ham thinks it’s important to adjust stu- dents' personalities, attitudes, and phi- losophies to and in the office atmosphere. She also helps students reach the stage of self-satisfaction with the development of their office skills. Michelle Yeager rushes through a timed writing in typing. Brenda Kuhn and LuAnn Harmon laugh at the latest gossip. A great display of concentration is shown here by Tony Osterman. 74 Business Game of Life Accounting li students exper- ienced what it is like keeping their own financial records. “It's like real life,” commented Mrs. Egglston. The students played Monopoly during class time. The students used the whole accounting system. There were two teams at each board; one person played while his partner kept the re- cords of everything that was bought, sold, or traded. It was so much like real life because if their cash didn’t prove there was no key to look at and find out what they did wrong. Business 75 TT Troy Kistlcr, Tony Crill and David Hudson, all part of the percussion section, put in extra hours of practice on the field. Ventures of the Viking Guard For the first time ever the TVHS band qualified for State Finals in marching. They received 10th place. Class C. They had a dinner concert on Feb. 17th, which was catered by the Lakeside Inn. Dinner was served in the commons, and cost $7.50. The concert was present- ed afterwards. They went to a State Concert Band Contest on April 17th at West Noble High School, and received the best possible rating. In May, the band traveled to Winchester, VA. and Washington D.C. to take place in the Shenendoah Apple Blossom Festival. They stayed from May 2-6. A new venture for the band in ’84 was the creation of a jazz combo. They pre- sented one concert, and in the future hope to present more. To raise money during the year, the band had several fund raisers. They sold cheese and sausage, had a pizza kit sale, and had a pledge car wash. Toward the end of the year, two band members were nominated to Hooks All State Band: Mark Fugate and Laura Cochran.

A Classy Qualification Enrollment was up, and so was the band’s class placement. Because of the increased enrollment, the bands class placement moved from D to C, giving them tougher competition in Regionals. They went to Marion for the Regional on October 15. Out of 27 bands, Valley was one of the only five that qualified for State, earning them a beautiful qualifying trophy. Band 77 Mrs. Mills smiles as she tics Chris Risner to his seat in art class. Paula Allison removes the lids off of a paint can while Chuck Clawson prepares to stir. Art Class: Practical and Popular Art at Valley has become a popular class for many students. Mrs. Mills had a lot of talented students in her art classes. Most students were enrolled in Basic Art because it’s a beginning art class. Three Dimension and painting were also very popular among the students. Sketch books scrap books were kept in both. For the serious minded art students, advanced art was fun, but there was also a lot of work involved. Students had to receive a grade of B or higher. Some students won scholarships to fur- ther their educations and seek an art ca- reer. Jackie Fites and Laura Cochran competed for several scholarships so they could gain a college education in art. Every year there are new projects done besides the general arts and crafts which have been done. Students worked well with others in class and showed good pro- gress on projects that were being done. Students did put forth a lot of effort and they hoped it showed in their displays or as they competed in shows.

Brian Nettroucr files down the edges of his shelf. Industrious Students Interested in construction, drafting, electronics, or maybe mechanical work? There were many classes offered at Val- ley that stressed these things: Builder’s Trades, auto mechanics, drafting, elec- tronics, and woods. Students that par- ticipated in them learned many new and helpful things and had fun while doing them. Mr. Ralston, teacher of auto mechan- ics, said, “My students learn by ‘hands on’ training.” Mr. Ralston’s students op- erated a garage format by working on whatever came in the doors. Three stu- dents were entered in the National Plymouth Trouble Shooting Contest. The students that represented Valley were Scott Teel, Scott Stewart, and Jim Ross. When Mr. Armstrong was asked what his students did special during the year he replied, “Every day is a special day with the students.” Mr. Armstrong had a busy and full year teaching students about woodworking. Electronics classes devoted most of their time in class working on their labs. The electronics III classes took some time and put together electronic kits. Industrial arts can give a person a lot of experience and can be rewarding if a person plans on making a career out of it. Industrial Arts A New Challenge The Builder’s Trades class spent most of their time building a house in Akron. The house is very different compared to the ones that were built in previous years. It is a two story house, and is an unusual design for this part of the country. It was made for this climate and was placed cor- rectly so that its solar gain will be at its maximum during the winter months. Even though it was a very difficult house to build and there were so many days of school missed, the class finished the house by the end of the school year. J. Shewman, S. Hudson, C. VanMeter, and K.

The Tippecanoe Valley High School choir participated in the Northwest In diana District Choral Festival at Pioneer High School on March 9th. Five hun- dred singers from ten different schools performed nine pieces to a crowd of about 1,000 people. On December 9th, they presented a Christmas concert along with the Mentone Junior High. On April 14th, they participated in a choir contest along with the band, and on May 9th they presented their summer con- cert. Jill Nanz, a junior, and Andrea La- Mar, a senior, were selected as partici- pants in the Indiana All-State Choir. Schools from all over the state tried out, but only two singers from each school were picked. The choir also had two fund-raisers. They sold tickets for a bake sale at one of Valley’s basketball games, and passed out coupons from Wilt’s Grocery store. The proceeds from these money-making projects went for senior sweaters and bus fare. Tonya Hoffman.

Valley of- fered many classes this year to help stu- dents do just that. Freshmen were required to take a full year physical education course. Fresh- man boys were taught by Mr. Makula; and freshman girls, by Miss Harmon. Most freshmen were happy to get out of dressing out for a day to go rollerskat- ing at Warsaw and participate in the sometimes hilarious sport of bowling. The freshman classes had the experience of competing against each other in the May track and field day. Freshmen spent the year doing many activities. One was instructed by the new swim coach Miss Thompson. Miss Thompson said she really enjoyed teaching the freshmen some important life saving skills. Mr. See took a break from teaching boys’ P.E. to teach body conditioning. Some girls joined the class but most members were boys. The students in body conditioning, one of the two ad- vanced courses, went through the semes- ter building up by lifting weights, and conditioning by running, doing sit-ups and doing many other exercises. Miss Ferris, another new teacher on the staff, taught co-ed P.E., working with her stu- dents in many ways: volleyball, basket- ball, and softball. Miss Ferris said she enjoyed her job because it was a chal- lenge. First semester body conditioning class takes time out just to goof around.

Co-ed P.E. consists of ad- vanced P.E., body conditioning, and swimming. Advanced P.E. spent the year doing gymnastics, basketball, softball, swimming, and even self de- fense. Body conditioning enjoyed building up their bodies by lifting weights, and they conditioned their bodies by running, doing sit-ups, and many other exercises. Swim helpers spent most of their time helping Miss Thompson with swimming lessons for the kids in grade school. Dwain Dunn does a routine on the parcllcl bars for gymnastics in P.E.

Rising High in Journalism “Get to work on your deadline!” “Put that copy on a typesheet!” These words and many more were heard from the sometimes hysterical Mrs. Klolz. Mrs. Klotz was yearbook advisor for a third year and also guided the students that put out the school newspaper. The journalism class had fun publish- ing the school newspaper even though sometimes it wasn't very easy. They did articles on the many things that hap- pened to arise at the Valley. These things included new fads, new faces, music, drugs, engagements, and many more. The staff did a very good job in letting students at Valley know what was going on. The yearbook staff spent the year do- ing layouts, writing copy, raising money, cropping pictures, and thinking up cap- tions for some pretty wild pictures. The staff kept busy most of the year. In put- ting out the yearbook, they gave the sen- iors memories and the underclassmen something to look forward to. The staff itself got the satisfaction of putting out a great book. Everyone on the staff was proud of his efforts. Photographer Ryan Russell's job doesn’t end be- hind the camera. Here he busily writes captions for those candids he snapped.

The students sat in on different sessions and lis- tened to guest speakers. In their free time some of the students went bowling, played video games, or just toured the campus. Not ev- eryone ate lunch at the same place. Some ate at Dominos Pizza and Who’s on Dill; (a sandwich restau- rant). All in all it was a fun trip and everyone had a good time. Academics editor Michelle Spears, along with Sandy McCleese, laughingly recount their adventures of J-Day to David Dingus. A Learned Discovery Valley academics represented more than just students pouring over opened books. Although a lot of serious studying occurred, the classrooms at Valley were often places filled with an array of ac- tivities. Sometimes students even man- aged to work in having a good time along with their learning. In Office Lab, students learned the practical skills of business and were able to enjoy an office-like atmosphere. In some of the different math classes, stu- dents were able to begin their practical knowledge of the use of computers. For- eign language classes combined their book study with activities that taught them about the culture that is insepera- ble from the language they were study- ing. Journalism students learned practi- cal journalistic techniques and also got the feel of production under a very hectic schedule of deadlines. The list went on and on. As the year wound down to a close, most of the students were able to look back and say that they had done more than just learn. They had discovered. And that’s what learning is all about. Mr. Kantner kicks back and looks over his notes on soil judging. Mrs. Hull’s students show great interest in their math lesson. A few minutes left before the bell in Algebra are spent finishing up an assignment or just talking over the days events. 88 Discovery Girls and guys alike enjoyed the practical courses of home economics.

Paula Allison laughs aloud at her neighbor’s next idea for an art project. Discovery 89 Becoming Independent “Learning how to become as indepen- dent in life as they are capable of becom- ing is the main goal in Special Ed,” said Mrs. Ritter. Some of the students learned to operate office and library ma- chines for independent projects. They also had simulation interviews with work study groups to learn how to get jobs. A computer was given to the class from a government grant through War- saw. They held a cookout on Thursday, May 24th, to celebrate the end of the school year.

BEST OF “84” Viking Valor Play-off bound were the Valley Vi- kings after a win over Nothwood on Sept. 30. The 13-7 victory over the Panthers aimed the Vikings straight toward Rens- selaer on Oct. 28. Dominating both offensively and de- fensively in the sectional, the Vikings de- feated the Rensselear Bombers 35-0 on Friday Oct. 28. Offensively, Lee Swihart ran 162 yards on 32 carries and 3 touch- downs. Defensively, Valley held the Bombers without a first down until late in the first half. Valley took advantage of Rcnsselear's turnovers to jump to a 21-0 halftime lead. Valley intercepted the ball four times through out the game. Shad McConkey picked up 2 of those interceptions; Rob Dunnuck, I. and Joe Hawkins, the other. Scott Teel led the defense with 29 tackle points. With one game under its belt. Valley advanced to the regional game with the Fort Wayne Luers on Friday, Nov. 4. Lee Swihart capped off a Valley career with a 164-yard night. The Luers came back from a 14-0 defi- cit in the fourth quarter to tie the score 14-14, casting the game into overtime. Luers scored in three plays, and eventual- ly defeated the Vikings 27-14 in overtime. Luers outrushed Valley by twenty-three yards, but Valley led in total yardage by- seven. “Fm really proud of our kids. They really believed in themselves all year long, Coach Phil See said. Valley went on to win cluster 34 with a 3-0 record and to finish second in the Three Rivers Con- ference behind Oak Hill. MINI MAG. 93 Valley’s Best: Students Get Involved On To D.C. On Wednesday, May 2, at 6:00 P.M., Valley’s Viking Guard was packed and ready to go. Their destination—Wash- ington D.C. After approximately 17 hours on the road, they arrived at their first stop, Falls Church, Virginia. They unpacked at the Best Western Falls Church Inn where they rested and pre- pared for participation in the Shenen- doah Apple Blossom Festival. After the festival, they were on the road again, heading for our nation’s Cap- itol. Once there, they were able to do their share of sightseeing. The Guard toured the White House, ate at “The Harlequin” dinner theatre where they saw the play “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers,” and were able to see the his- torical Ford's Theatre where Lincoln was shot. The Guard was also able to take an active part in their trip when they par- ticipated in the marching band and con- cert band contests. Exhausted, but thrilled with the ex- perience, the Guard once again loaded the bus and headed for home. The whirl- wind trip ended when they arrived back at the school around 10:30 A.M. on Sun- day, May 6. MacBeth Co. Presents “Pride and Prejudice” “Look me up in Hollywood,” said Tom Heltzel, who portrayed Mr. Hill in Jane Austin’s “Pride and Prejudice.” Valley’s MacBeth Co. presented three performances of the play on November 3, 4, and 6. The play was a huge success, with the student actors and actresses making the audience both laugh at the hilarity, and cry at the solemnity of the play. “This may be the best one yet,” said Mrs. Barr, the drama coach. “The set and actors are the best we’ve ever had,” said an active drama member, John Bryant. Not only were the actors and actresses proud of the performances, but so were all the members of Valley’s drama de- partment. The players were a large part of the production, but the cast were thankful for all the help behind the scenes. “We’re more than friends. We are family,” said Shelley Utter.

Jr. Miss On Saturday, September 29th, there was more than just lights, cameras action in the Rochester High School au- titorium. There were three very proud, but very nervous. Valley girls awaiting the end results of the 1984 Jr. Miss Pag- eant. The Valley contestants were Krista Martin, Andrea Lamar, Sherri Furni- vall, and Fran Hodges, along with one Delong participant and 7 Rochester girls. “The early morning and late night practices showed us girls how much time and energy it takes to be a Jr. Miss,” said Krista Martin. The contestants were judged on five different categories: Talent, Poise, Per- sonality, Exercise Dance, and Public speaking. Krista Martin received the spirit of Jr. Miss which she thought was most re- warding. “More important than win- ning,” she said, “was the experience of meeting new people and having a good time.” Mini Mag 95 Presenting The Best in Education: Experience, Travel, and Fun Students BB Learn from Experienced Race car driving, piloting, pharma- cy—even auctioneering was discussed during Valley's Career Day on May 1. Community professionals running the gamut arrived around noon to prepare for an afternoon of mini courses de- signed to introduce students to an array of possible careers. Students were able to sign up for three courses of their choice. Almost everything imaginable was offered. Students such as Lori Potter and Mark Toetz, who already had their futures in pharmacy planned, were able to ask specific questions of Mr. Winn, owner and pharmacist of Mentone’s The Pill Box. Other students, such as Amy Bibler and Stacia Marti, were able to envision the life of an airline steward- ess with the help of Mr. Cobb, a pilot and travel agency owner from Elkhart. Even some of the faculty members were able to understand the realities of small business ownership as they talked with Roger Prater, owner of The Inn in Manchester. The Career Day program, deemed a success by guidance counselor Sandy Carmichael, gave the students the op- portunity of seeing some future possi- bilities, and also gave local business people the opportunity of sharing a part of themselves with Valley’s youth. s £p Educational Enrichments Life at Tippecanoe Valley did not end in the hallowed halls of the school. Stu- dents were able to expand their educa- tions through travel to various cities, states, and even countries. In the fall, senior psychology students loaded a bus and headed to Fort Wayne to visit the state’s mental hospital. Once there, they were able to ask questions and learn of some of the problems that people have in coping with their lives. The spring was a busy time for Valley students and also involved a lot of travel. Again, several members of the senior class packed for a journey, but this time it was for an early morning flight to Washington D.C. They left the school around 5:00 A.M. and returned around 8:00 P.M. Those involved were thrilled with the memories of the trip. Also in the spring, foreign language students head- ed for Chicago, Illinois to spend the day visiting the museums and the Brookfield Zoo. And when the long awaited spring break finally arrived, many students were once again ready for travel. Krista Martin and Brian Rhiner spent the week in Mexico, enjoying the sights and learn- ing something of the culture. 96 Mini Mag Race car driver, Tony Elliot, uses visual aids to help in his description of the excitement of racing.

The ’84 sen- iors did the same. Class Clown—Rodney Smythe, Kim Trout Primpiest—Kristen Lackey, Matt Brown Sexiest Body—Teresa Groninger, Chris Griffis Sexiest Walk—Greg VanDeWater, Jute Manwaring Most likely to Succeed—Mike Martz- loff, Sonya Unzicker Most easy Going—Shelley Harley, Lee Swihart Class Wolf—Scott Stewart, Kim Trout Prettiest Smile: Rob Pinder Sherry Lafferty Preppiest: Matt Brown Julie Manwaring 98 Mini Mag The Best: Valley’s Pleasing Personalities Best Couple: Mark Howard Deydra Mellott Most Athletic: Andrea Scott Shad McConkey Valley Beefs It Up. “Where’s the Beef,” an advertising slogan, caused quite a commotion and was commonly heard during the ’84 year. Members of the Valley reacted dif- ferently. Sherrie Smalley, Valley’s head cook, showed her response in a unique way—a striking piece of head gear. Sen- iors Rick Ralston, Rob Pinder, and Billy Kelly responded by entering the Big Wally eating contest sponsored by Pen- guin Point of Warsaw. Although they were unable to chow down the winning number, the guys were able to eat their way through 14 of the double-decker sandwiches. Once the contest was over, they didn’t need to ask, “Where’s the beef?” They already knew.

These students were rewarded daily by the knowledge of their accomplishments and the pride they felt. At the end of the year, however, all those responsible for the school felt that the really outstand- ing students deserved special recogni- tion. There were two major award pro- grams for students who had outdone themselves during the year. The first was the 1984 Honors and Awards Pro- gram, one recognizing achieving seniors, held on May 16. The second was Greek Night, a banquet honoring drama stu- dents, held on May 25. The Honors Program highlighted many of the seniors’ high school careers with departmental awards. Special Ser- vice Awards were also given to students who had shown leadership and initiative during the year. Finally, there were many scholarships to be given from var- ious universities, clubs, and individuals in the area. The true stars of the evening were Brenda Wright, Mary Mathias, and Mark Toetz. Brenda received the Home Economics Award, the Media Helper Award, the Golden “V” Award, the Charles Manwaring Scholarship, the Kappa Delta Psi Scholarship, the Rob- ert Igney Memorial Scholarship, and a Kiwanis Club Scholarship. Mary was not only named Salutatorian of her class, but also received a Presidential Aca- demic Fitness Award, an OEA Award, and a Hoosiers Scholars Scholarship. Mark was the recipient of the English, the Math, and the Science Awards, the Golden “V” Award, the Presidential Academic Fitness Award, a Hoosiers Scholars Scholarship, and a Kiwanis Club Scholarship. Mark was given a standing ovation from his peers as he accepted the honor of being named the 1984 Valedictorian.

Brenda Wright happily accepts the Charles Man- waring Scholarship from James Manwaring. 100 Mini Mag Applause Applause And They Earned It During Greek Night, drama members dressed in togas and enjoyed a dinner of Cordon Bleu that was catered in by Nancy’s Francies of Warsaw. Soon after dinner was over, the officers for the '85 year were installed. Awards were then presented. Matt Brown and Roberta Ladson received Best Thespians. Awards for best senior, junior, sopho- more, and freshman members went to Rick Ralston and Tom Lester, Angie Wood and Shelley Utter, John Baker and Kim Privitt, respectively. John Bry- ant earned the honor of Best Overall Member. The Director's Award went to Angie Harsh, while Matt Brown and Angie Wood received Best Actor and Actress. Toward the end of the program, the new Thespians were initiated. The Thes- pian is an internationally recognized honor for excellence in theatre. John Ba- ker, Sandy Dittman, Phil King, Theresa Wiard, and Angie Wood were given the honor. To wrap up the evening in dramatic style, “Pink Panther Strikes Again” was shown on the wide screen TV.

With- out the individuals, however, and the ef- forts they made. Valley pride would not have been possible. The individuals, with pride in their achievements, joined to make the year a success. Whether it was being a member of the band spending long hours of concentrated practice, training intently as a member of one of the athletic programs, or studying dili- gently to achieve a record of academic excellence. Valley students expressed their individuality. Along with complementing the Valley programs, the individuals complement- ed one another. Many took pride in es- tablishing honest, loyal, and lasting friendships among students, staff, and administration. Pride in Valley as a whole meant pride in its people as unique individuals. And pride in the singular qualities of each person gave Valley quite a bit to be proud of. ic music and celebrate Behind The Scenes: A New Direction “I sleep,” said Mr. Hill jokingly when asked what he did in a day. Obviously, he doesn’t sleep. In a day, Mr. Hill, the first year princi- pal, could be found walking down hallways, in the parking lot, ob- serving classrooms, or taking care of a hundred other administrative chores. Mr. Hill said Valley has good people, and he wasn’t worried about any problems he had to take over. He had confidence in himself and in the students. The new assis- tant principal, Mr. Skiles, de- scribed himself as an easy going kind of a guy, as long as he isn’t taken for granted. Through disci- pline, he tried his hardest to keep the students on the right track. “Young people really don’t mind structure,” said Mr. Skiles, “as long as it is fairly delt with.” While Mr. Skiles was helping students, the secretaries were lis- tening to them: “I can’t get my locker open.” I left something in my car.” “Can I use the tele- phone?” These excuses and many more were what Mrs. Eaton and Mrs. Kindig, Valley’s secretaries, heard everyday from students to get in and out of classes. It took a lot of time to listen to everyone’s excuses in one busy day. The secre- taries claimed the busiest part of the year was the beginning when there was book rental, scheduling, and a lot of paper work to do. The end of the year was also hectic as they had to get ready for closing Guidance counselor. Mr. Welch, listens in- tently to a student's career plans. time. This year’s attendance policy was much easier in their eyes, be- cause the parents of the students were able to call in or write excuses for absences instead of having to make unneeded doctor appoint- ments. Also housed in the main office were Mr. Welch and Mrs. Carmi- chael, the guidance counselors. Both felt that helping students is what makes their jobs important. If a student came to them with a personal problem, they tried their best to help. They were also always there to help with testing and fu- ture career choices. rW- Hill defines Valley Pride Valley Pride means giving your best effort, working hard, caring about others, being a “Drcammaker” not a “Heart breaker,” being of service to others, being loyal to all Valley organizations, and striving to make TVHS 1 in every way possible.—Mr. Hill 104 Administration Superiniendcnt Paige works diligently at a con- ference table in the administrative building. Mrs. Carmichael, Guidance, is a very busy lady. Mr. Hill and Mr. Skiles go out of their way to help a student. Mr. Skiles and Kay Kindig come to the aid of the copy machine. Administration 105 A Matter Of Excellence Valley faculty really cared about their students and continued striving for ex- cellence throughout the year. The deter- mined and cooperative efforts among the staff members brought about increased enthusiasm and academic excellence. Valley Pride seemed to surge through the 1983-84 faculty, making for a very successful year. Mrs. Klotz thought the faculty seemed to unite this year with the lead- ership of a new administration. Quality education topped the list of priorities, while an enjoyable learning process fol- lowed closely behind. “We all seem to be cooperating,” said Mrs. Cumberland. Mr. DuBois added, “The majority of the teachers are dedicated to doing the very best job they can for the students. They are very interested in helping the stu- dents as people and in helping the stu- dents acquire the best education possi- ble.” Valley acquired four superb new teachers: Miss Tracy Ferris, Mr. Mike Miller, Mr. Duane Burkhart, and Mr. Jeff Salyers. Miller, Burkhart, and Sa- lyers joined to make an entirely new his- tory department.

Faculty 107 The Mob: Before, During . . . “The Mob” rules—especially when they’re hungry; and by mid-day at Val- ley, they usually are. Everything from pizza to spinach was served in the Valley lunchroom thanks to the infamous Val- ley cooks. There were a lot of pressures when it came to cooking food for about 380 stu- dents everyday, especially w'hen taking into account the innumerable differen- eces in tastes and appetites. When the bell rang for lunch and “The Mob” came stampeding into the quiet of the com- mons, the cooks had to be ready. Tippecanoe Valley’s cooks started their day at varying times: Head Cook, Sherri Smalley, arrived at 7:30; full- time help arrived at 8:00; and part-time, at 10:30. All did their part in preparing for the many feasts. When the bell rand and “The Mob” came stampeding down the halls, fight- ing for a place in the lunch line, the cooks were there—ready, waiting, and serving with a smile. . . . And After Six-hundred and fifty students did a lot of messing up in one day and it took patience and courage to clean up after them. Tom Mahoney, Jim Jones, Esther May, Kathy Gast, and Keb Castlemen came in everyday and, armed with brooms and dust pans, cleaned, swept, mopped and picked up all through the day and late into the evening. They were part of the regular scenery here at T.V.H.S. and sometimes seemed to be taken for granted. However, if it weren’t for the Valley custodial crew al- ways there to clean up after “The Mob,” the school would have been a wreck! Un- imaginable and unthinkable. Valley cus- todians were dedicated to the cleaning of Valley halls, unfortunately “The Mob” was just as dedicated in their making of “THE MESS”.

At that time, we looked ahead and saw four long years to be conquered.” As graduation ap- proached, however, the class of '84 had the end in sight. Many of the seniors saw a new beginning, one they looked at anxiously, but eager- ly. “It’s hard being a senior,” said Krista Martin. “We still have a big door yet to open. There are anxieties. We’re start- ing all over again ...” Seniors of ’84 looked back and began to realize the truth in the adage, “Time flics.” “It’s gone too fast. It’s slipped by just like that,” said Julie Man- waring. “But I’m ready to go on to college.” The seniors discovered, as have seniors before them, that the last year of high school carries with it con- flicting emotions. Saying hello to some- thing new can often mean saying a few good-byes. But the '84 seniors seemed ready for the greet- ings, ready to meet the challenges. “It’s kind of like a grand finale’,” said Laura Cochran. “It’s an end- ing, and yet a whole new beginning.” The seniors seemed not ready to say good-bye, but only see you later. “Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much; Wisdom is humble that he knows no more.” —William Cowper Billy Kelly aspires to be the new study hall supervisor while Mrs. Busenburg seems rather uncertain of the idea.

So the question arises—What is the at- traction? Sure, it's the last year of high school, and graduation is in sight, but there seemed to be more than that for the class of '84. Many seniors felt that the entire class became closer as the last days ar- rived. “This may be the last time 1 am able to see some of my friends,” said Dale Hcltzel. “This year has been really special,” said Troy Shull, “just being with my friends. Other seniors looked for- ward to special times with those special friends. “Why is this year unique? “I’m going to Florida with my friends over spring break, said Rob Cum- berland. Some seniors felt that being the leaders of the school was significant in making the year unique. “Underclassmen seem to look up to us,” said Carol Alderfer. “It’s a big re- sponsibility,” said Julie Manwaring. And some felt that special closeness not only with their senior class- mates, but with the school as a whole. “I think maybe it’s the feeling of teachers and students, said Angie Shafer, “working together, trying to accomplish something.” “Knowledge comes, but wis- dom lingers.” —Alfred Lord Tennyson Row 1: Mark Fugate Sherri Furnivall Tim Gagnon Tammy Gearhart Penny Geiger Seniors 113 Row 1: Kris Hile Fran Hodges Todd Hoffman Troy Hoffman Cindy Holloway Row 2: Terry Holloway Andy Howard Mark Howard David Hudson Joe Hughes Row 3: Berncda Johnson Sieph Keller (Johnson) Billy Kelley Tom Kistler Jane Lackey Row 4: Kisten Lackey Jody Ladd Sherry Lafferty Andrea LaMar Gary Leninger A Special Appreciation No one makes it entirely alone. There arc always special people along the way who help us out: they advise, they encourage, and they are always there when we need them. We appreciate our mentors, but often they are unaware of what they mean to us. As the end of the '84 school year came nearer. Valley seniors be- gan to look around and really appreciate those whom they had come to rely on and to trust. “I’m grateful to Mrs. Prater,” said Brenda Wright, “for the help in decision-making my senior year.” “I owe a special thanks to Mr. Metcalf,” Mark Fu- gate said. “He taught us the importance of making goals, doing everything you can to achieve those goals, and then enjoying the success.” Academics was not the only area in which sen- iors sought and received guidance. “I owe a special thanks to all the coaches 1 have had in high school.” said Rob Cumberland, and to Mom and Dad. All of them have helped me grow as a person.” “Mr. Craw,” said Tammy Gearhart. “He was always there .. While Andrea LaMar felt she owed Mrs. Carmi- chael a big thanks for “giving me reasons to strive for my goals in life.” And Tom Lester thanked his friends, “Just for putting up with me.” Row 1: Tom Lester Beth Mannies Julie Manwaring Row 2: Kimberly Martin Krista Martin Mike Martzloff Row 3: Mary Mathias Eric McKee Deydra Mellott Row 4: Annetta Metzger Senor Craw doesn't seem to mind the Mark Mikel constant abuse he receives from the sen- Don Miller iors. Seniors Achieve Separately and as One The classmates of '84 joined together in several united efforts during the year. In the fall, a group of seniors worked to- gether to produce a winning homecoming banner entitled “No- body Violates Viking Airspace.” During the winter months, several enthusiastic seniors sold pizza kits in an effort to finance a color section for the year- book. Then in the spring, seniors grouped even more closely, giving one another the needed sup- port as graduation drew near. Not only did the class stand together for com- mon goals; but they stood separately for personal goals as well. Seniors individ- ually excelled in all areas of school life. Many won awards in fields of particular in- terest, both athletic and academic. And many entered and won various contests, pushing themselves to their full poten- tials. “To climb steep hills Requires a slow pace at first.” —Shakespeare Row 1: Carla Morris Bryon Myers Blake Myers Larry Nettrouer Rob Pindcr Row 2: Lori Potter Rick Ralston Rosemarry Reed Brian Riner James Ross Row 3: Arlie Rowe Leanne Russell Steve Salmons Andrea Scott Angela Shafer Row 4: Alan Shepherd Sue Shepherd Tina Shepherd Troy Shull Monica Sisneros Row 5: Penny Smith (Bailey) Robin Smith John Smithson Rodney Smythc Colleen Sophcr Row 1: Jennifer Sriver Amy Stackhouse Angie Stavedahl Row 2: Leslie Stephens Scott Stewart Patty Stout Row 3: Dcwaync (Duke) Summc Derrill Swick Lee Swihart Row 4: Scott Teel Angela Thompson Matt Thompson Tana Tinkey Mark Toetz Kim Trout Row 5: Chan Tucker Sonya Unzicker Greg VanDcWatcr Rhonda Vernattcr Sharon Wallers Stephanie Walters Row 6: Laura White Jon Whittcnberger Brenda Wooten Brenda Wright Scott Yeager Kelly Zimpclman X 118 Seniors The Days Just Disappear Everyone knows that time flies when one is having fun. Somehow it seems to vanish when one is also busy. Those look- ing ahead to a nearing Valley graduation saw the time disap- pearing, day by day, right before their eyes. It wasn't mag- ic, however. It was just that they found more and more of their responsibil- ities were to have been completed yester- day. Scholarships and financial forms, along with contest entries and the always formidable college application forms kept time flying for the college-bound seniors of '84. Senior English and gov- ernment kept other academic-oriented seniors on the go. Many seniors found much of their time being spent on the creative aspects of their lives. Several seniors spent many hours drawing and painting for the ad- vanced art class. “Swing Choir and Jazz Band,” kept Tana Tinkey mov- ing, along with the practices and per- formances. Several of the senior guys found one or more of the industrial arts classes taking up their time. Builders’ Trades alone kept them going for three hours a day. Whether it was school, work, or play; the seniors’ lives were active ones. Most of the seniors agreed that to keep the days moving, one should make the most of all three. Do not squander time, for that’s the stuff life is made of.” —Benjamin Franklin m Stcph Keller and Krista Martin find time to flash a smile during Family Living. Seniors 119 Parting Words “Do what you believe in,” was Eric McKee’s advice to next year’s seniors. Tina Shepherd added. “Do all you can ... You’ll only get out of it as much as you put in.” Most of the seniors agreed that the senior year goes more quick- ly than any of the oth- er three. They em- phasized that taking advantage of every- thing possible is important, especially during that last year of high school. “Enjoy it,” said Angie Thompson. “Don’t waste this time.” Many of the class of '84 felt that traditionally, it is easy for seniors to get caught up with trivial concerns. “Don't spend your time worrying about people.” said Sherry Lafferty. “Just have fun.” Dcrrill Swick agreed. “Do as much as you can so you’ll have something to look back on. Have as much fun as you can; never take things ‘too’ seriously.” Advice is only as wise as the adviser, and each senior gained wisdom as he finished his high school career. “Work hard,” said Tom Lester. “Reach the goals you've set.” While Fran Hodges advised to. “Push yourself. Make it as memorable as possible.” “Hitch your wagon to a star.” —Emerson 120 Seniors Media Director, Mr. LaMar, helps Angie Stave- dahl and Sonya Unzickcr with the formidable task of the senior research paper. What can I say? All work and no play. Life After Graduation Is there life after graduation? It is not a question that is heatedly debated in public forums. It wasn’t debated in Valley halls or classrooms either. Sen- iors knew that life would exist after graduation. The question was, “What would life after graduation bring?” Some seniors knew exactly what their lives would bring. Several followed a patriotic call and enlisted into the military for at least two years of service. Many of the ’84 seniors planned to further their educa- tions through a college of some sort. Plans ranged from the vague notion of attending college, to the more definite “attend Ball State University for four years. Some students planned to leave the area. I'm going to go to North Dakota Universi- ty,” said Jennifer Shriver. While some planned to settle down. Mar- riage and a good job,” said Jon Whitten- berger. The seniors looked ahead and saw many opportunities. Some were ready to meet the challenges head- on. “I plan to live life to its fullest, said Berneda Johnson. While others planned to take a deep breath and see what was to come. “Survival, was what Shelley Hartley had in mind. Whatever it is, she said about life after graduation, “I'm going it on my own. “Each man has his own vocation. The talent is the call.” —Emerson 122 Seniors Jeff Gordon takes a moment from his duties in Builders’ Trades to reflect on life in general.

Chris Cook and Byron Meyers fit a protective cov- ering over a hidden water heater in the ’84 Build- ers’ Trades solar house. Seniors 123 Seniors’ Spirits Soar Most of the senior class deemed “Rising High in ’84“ an appropriate theme for their senior year- book. They felt they really had risen during the year; and that they would continue to do so. The members of the 84 class were the leaders that made many accom- plishments possible: The Viking guard went to State, and the girls’ gym- nastics team sent a gym- nast to the Regional. The seniors were proud of Valley through- out the year. Most felt that Valley had increased its expectations, and therefore, was a better school. “Everything has improved. Standards have been raised, said Tana Tinkey. Even a new attendance record was set. These feelings of optimism carried past thoughts of school life, and on to those of the “real” world. “This is the peak of our high school career,’’ said Brenda Wright. “From i4No bird soars soars with his too high if he own wings. William Blake now and on, the heights we reach in life will be unlimited.” It was a posi- tive year. “Our school administrators, our gov- ernment administrators, and our athletes in the Olympics will make this year the best ever,” said Tom Lester. We’ll all rise high to make our world a better place.” Answering the phone is only one of Brenda Ar- thur's several duties as an office aide.

Juniors Find Success Along with beauty, success or failure is often in the eye of the beholder. Whether or not 1984 was a success for juniors was a question to which answers varied. Some juniors felt the year was not a complete success. Reasons ranged from not passing a required class to the new In-School Suspension instituted at the beginning of the year. Most juniors, however, felt the year was a success; and their reasons, whether personal, academic, or social, ran the gamut. For Penny Miller, success came with her involve- ment in the band. “I’ll always remember band getting to go to state . .. Great!” While Amy Jamison had success with a personal goal—her achievements in bas- ketball. I’ve learned a lot about myself and what I can do,” said one contientious junior, “That’s success to me.” And many juniors felt that the friends and good times made the year so good. “Very successful,” said Jamie Hurd. “ ...

For freshmen its the new experience of high school. For soph- omores, its the excitement of getting a class ring and driver’s license. The junior year is no different. Planning, decorat- ing, and presenting the prom keeps every junior class busy. The prom is also spe- cial because the juniors are Finally able to take guests of their choice. The prom however, is only one fond memory the class of ’85 took with them. “Working concessions and cleaning up after” is one thing Lenee DuBois will remember about her junior year. While Lisa Alderfer and Michelle Spears agreed that their beating the seniors dur- ing the powder puff football game was a victory the juniors will not soon forget. While Angie Wood said she’ll always re- member the play “Pride and Prejudice,” and the musical, “Anything Goes.” Whether the memories were ones in- volving the entire class, or a few close friends, the juniors agreed the memories were good ones. “I know we will always be friends,” said Jill Nanz, “and the spe- cial memories will never be forgotten.” Row 1: Audra Jones Mike Kcirn Michelle Keplinger Jeff Kerr Debbie Killian Lisa Kindig Row 2: Tim Kindig Billy Kline Janelle Koch Liz Kubley Brenda Kuhn Roberta Ladson Row 3: Lori Lcichty Steve Lester Tom Long Scott Lowe Rich Lowry Anita Malbone Row 4: Sandy McCleesc Darren McCloughan Diane McCloughan Rod McDonald Elaine MikcscI Patti Miller Row 5: Penny Miller Teresa Miller Pat Morgan Troy Miller Dec Moore Mark Moore Juniors 129 Dana Simpson, Nikki Shanes, and Amy Ja- mison take a break from working on the Ju- niors' homecoming banner.

The Wise Advise Most of the juniors of ’84 seemed to agree that the hardest part of being a junior, was also what made it such a challenging and exciting year. Juniors began to look at life differently; seeing the opportunities that lie ahead, as well as appreciating the security each felt in his role as a member of Valley’s ’84 ju- nior class. It’s time to take a good hard look at yourself, and at what you want to do after high school,” Sandy Dittman summed it up. Do your best, she advised those following up the ladder, but don’t forget to enjoy it as you go.” “This year marks another step up the ladder, said Janelle Koch. “It means we only have one year left.” Juniors realized that with the passing of one more year it would all be over. Have fun and enjoy it,” was Kim Shoemaker’s advice to fu- ture Valley Juniors. “After the junior year there’s only one more to go. Then it’s over.” And several juniors began to look ahead to the decisions that would have to be made in the all-too-near future. Plan ahead,” said Tonya Heisler. ... don’t wait until the last minute to choose what you’re going to do after you’re out of school.” Row 2: Michelle Spears David Spolski Charles Strong John Stubblefield Sherri Summers Bobby Surface Row 3: Ty Thompson Brett Tinkey Dawn Trippiedi Shelly Utter Lorin VanMeter Pam Wagner Row 4: Pam Wallis Blair Walls Willie Walters Krcg Warren Nancy Weirick Chris Whetstone Row 5: Angie Wood Shana Woods Robbie Yochum Sean Yost Susan Yount Tina Zolman Juniors 131 E.

A Freedom Drive Many Sophomores agreed the ’84 year was exciting because they got their licenses. A lot of them felt that with the license came many advantages. “I get to drive to school,” said Lora Foltz. “I'm on my own more,” said Chad Bibler. “I can go places by myself.” Dan Cave agreed that the independence was a plus. “Now I can go out with my friends,” he com- mented. “My parents don’t have to take us.” Sophomores also appreciated the practicality of having their licenses. They felt that as they became sopho- mores, they also became more involved in school and the extracurricular activi- ties. Having their licenses meant free- dom for them and for their parents.

Some felt it wasn’t the best of ideas. “It really isn’t needed, said one practical sophomore. “The teachers should just use more of the class time they have now. Most of the sophomores, however, un- derstood the rationale behind the addi- tional hour and felt it would ultimately be for the best. Vickie Walton saw the extra hour as a means for fitting more into each day. “I think it’s okay, she said, “because if we didn’t have it, we wouldn't be able to have convocations or pep sessions. Keith Cornett agreed the extra time was a good idea, but he had a different reason. “It will give us an extra hour to be with the people we don’t get to sec all summer. A few of the sophomores realized the educational gains that the added hour might bring. “I think its good in a way, said Lora Foltz. “We'll have more choices for classes, added Sherry Ham- ilton. And Kevin Scott felt, “It will help us get a better education.

Sophomores Look Ahead Each year of high school is special in its own right. The sophomores felt the year was a success for various reasons. Some enjoyed the rise in status the 10th grade gave them. “We don’t get picked on so much,” said Rhonda Williams. “We aren’t the last class to do every- thing anymore.” “We're sophomores now,” said Sherry Hamilton. “We only have two years after 10th grade.” A lot of the sophomores were already looking forward to being seniors and then gradu- ating; while some enjoyed the special privileges that took place during the year. “Getting our rings,” said Cindy Severns. “We finally got our licenses,” said Chris Hartman.

Sophomores 137 Freshmen Rock the Halls As the doors were opened for a new school year, freshmen stormed the halls carrying their ghetto-blast- ers. As soon as the passing period bell rang, sounds of Def Leppard, ZZ Top, and Quiet Riot rocked through the halls. The building got a short reprieve during Christmas break, only to find later that the store shelves had been cleared of these popular radios. The ghetto- blasters had been purchased for a specific place, under a freshman’s Christmas tree. When asked why these radios were so popular, one Valley freshman said, “School just doesn’t seem as bad when 1 have my music.” Dane Manwaring takes time out from class to flash a smile.

Others liked the school being in the country. As a matter of fact, 74% thought it was an advantage to be in the country. The rea- sons were many. One Valley freshman announced that there are a lot of things to look at in the country. A country school is also popular because when the freshmen get old enough, they hope to be able to drive to school. Being the center point between Akron and Mentone, as Valley is, solves one big problem. Men- tone kids don't have to go to Akron and Akron kids don't have to go to Mentone. They felt the location avoided the possi- bility of anger or jealousy between the kids. Only 26% thought being a country school was a disadvantage. One thought that if he came to a ballgame ahead of time to just hang around, there wouldn’t be anyone here.

They all felt different ways about different things. Some were afraid to eat, and some were afraid of getting lost. Sen- iors play a big part of all freshmen’s lives. Sometimes seniors just like to have a little fun and don't mean any harm. The fresh- men seemed to realize this, as 86% of all frosh weren't afraid of seniors, while only 14% were. When asked what made this year special, Jana Hawkins replied, “It seems like it has taken forever to get this far, but these next four years will probably go so fast. I can't wait to do all the crazy things we'll do. Mrs. Prater's fourth hour English class chats at the end of the hour.

Valley Makes It The close of the '84 year was a hectic one. Many different interest groups had planned field trips for the spring, and several convocations were held. Teach- ers of the various academic classes were hurrying to get in all the needed material and preparing to review for finals. Seniors were on the move wrapping up their high school careers. Some were searching for full-time jobs or an inde- pendent place to live. Others were think- ing anxiously about the move they would make to college once the all-too-short summer was over. Looking back on the year, both facul- ty and students deemed the year a suc- cess. The reasons for the success were succinctly summed up by Mrs. Barr: “Nationally, job opportunities are be- coming more and more advanced. State requirements for education have been increased. Valley is striving to meet these new challanges by making the edu- cation of its students the most important reason for getting a diploma. Nobody made the Vikings fWWfber one. They have claimed success with the Pride of %84.M . J : Nobody made the VikiagMumber one. They have claimc Pride of '84.” r i V 166 Closing To The Top Dana Simpson, Shana Woods and Amy Jamison move to the beat during the homecoming dance.
