The quiet, empty corri- dors of TVHS were once again packed with both old and new faces on August 22, 1986. Smiling faces, laughter of old friends, and the chatter of new friends being made filled Valley’s halls. While the “rounds” were being made by the students, the faculty and adminis- tration were making last minute prepara- tions. The teachers were checking over their curriculums and lesson plans and attempting to make their rooms orderly and inviting to the students. The administration was working on making sure that the first day of school and the rest of the year went smoothly. Within the past few years Tippecanoe Valley has moved forward in virtually all areas of concern. Organizations have ex- panded with new additions. Athletics has improved greatly as the athletes and coaches got to know each other and real- ly worked together. The academics at TVHS have taken great strides to keep up with the students needs. The curricu- lums were coordinated with certain goals in mind, these goals were met, and as a result, the students were learning more and more. Because Valley is a school where the staff cares, “Ready for the World” was chosen for the 1987 yearbook theme. The faculty and administration wanted to make sure that “their” kids were ready for the world. With school barely in session, sophomore Stephanie Miller is already “hitting the books. - The beginning of a new day. and the beginning of a new school year, dawns over the Valley country- '• side. 2 Ready for the World Opening The once quiet corridors at Valley are once again filled with new people, as Lisa Minnick and Tara Nelson converse in their new surroundings. Showing their ‘‘Senior Spirit”, the members of the senior powder puff cheerleading squad are Jim Yo- chum, Dayne Manwaring, Tim Weist, and Chris Clark.

Other aspects of student life that were indirectly associated with school were the concern for cars, a grow- ing world of technology, and the world of fashion. Most of the students’ lives at Valley were also affected by national news and events that occurred in the entertainment world. On October 3, 1986, Valley held its 12th annual Homecoming. Students at- tended various concerts, which meant many tired, groggy students the next day. On week-ends students spent a lot of time cruising in Warsaw, Rochester, Plymouth, and North Manchester. Near the end of the year, seniors, ju- niors, and a few underclassmen as well, waited expectantly for the prom. Finally, the seniors began to make their final preparations for graduation.

A transportation Fascination By the late 1940’s and early 50’s, many American families owned automo- biles. The American people have always held a fascination for this mode of trans- portation. The students at Valley were not excep- tions. TVHS students used their cars for various functions, among these were transportation to and from work and school, and cruising their current “hot spot”. Among Valley’s favorite towns to cruise were Warsaw, Rochester, and North Manchester. Most of the students who drove agreed that taking care of a vehicle and buying the gasoline became an expensive under- taking. “Insurance rates for guys under 18 are so high that a lot of guys average more than $600.00 a year.”, commented Craig Good. A crowded highway of the past demonstrates a common problem faced by drivers of two eras. The product of many hours of work, this car, owned by junior Dwayne Leiter, is often seen in the Valley parking lot. Cars Another course that was new in 1987 was Industrial Technology taught by Mr. Heinhold. Computers were also brought into the class- room more with Computer Programming and Computer Literacy. Stephen Egolf and Clinton Alexander concentrate on perfecting their pro- grams. A n explosion of technology brings valley right into line An explosion of technology in the past ten years made 1987 very unique. One of the largest fall-outs of this explosion was the advent of the personal computer. A way in which Valley kept in stride with the growing field of technology was with the incorporation of computer use in several of the departments’ curriculums. Micro computers were used, not only in the computer literacy and programming classes, but in math, the graphic arts classes to design graphics, the journalism class to produce the school newspaper, and in the speech classes to study career options. Individual teachers also made practical use of the computers to orga- nize and expediate such jobs as testing and grading. “1 use the computer as a means to let the students know how they are progressing through the 9 weeks”, commented Mr. Cumberland. Experts in the field of technology ar- gued that the potential of computer use, especially in the educational arena, had just begun to be tapped, and that more advances were yet to be made. TVHS made timely use of the available technol- ogy in 1987, thus helping its students reach their potential and come a little closer to being ready for the world. Using the computer as a tool of teaching, Mr. Carmichael shows his Graphic Arts class how to design graphics on it. 8 Ready for the World Technology During a visit to Purdue in October, the Electronics III class saw a demonstration of a robotic arm. Another technological advance of the fifties that has affected Valley students in the ’80’s was the 3-D movie the first being Bwana Devil in November 1952. In the commons before school, John McDaniel and Sheri Stevedahl look intently into each others eyes. Preparing to go home, Jeff Carson helps Kim Ow- ens open her locker. The library is often a place where couples gather. Sophomores Robert Gunter and Dawn Baker work on their homework together. After the game, Senior Donnie Adams is congratu- lated by his girlfriend Jenny Johnson. -1 r'v Ready For The World -L Couples ogetherness Two combining to make one has always been an important part of American life. Thirty years ago couples congregated at the local soda shoppe. Couples today make use of school time to be together. With the dawn of each new day at Valley, couples are ev- erywhere: they are in the commons, sitting in an empty classroom, or just holding hands as they walk the hallways together. Each new school year brings with it the appearance of old couples who have stayed together for several months and new cou- ples who have just started a relationship. With each relationship, whether old or new, there come a lot of moments to be remem- bered. Kim Owens’ fondest memory of Jeff Car- son was one special day. “The fourth of July was a day I’ll never forget. We spent the day with my family.” Looks and popularity are only a few things that make up a person’s character. A lot of other “special” qualities also play an important role in what draws two people together and how they respond to each oth- er. “Jeff (Tucker) is the most understanding, patient, considerate, caring, and fun person that I have ever met”, said Missy Kubley, 88. And whether or not the relationship con- tinued on past high school or lasted for a short time only, it all helped to build their character and to make them prepared for the world to come. Some things enjoyed by the couples of the 50’s are still enjoyed by the couples of the 80’s. Showing the lighter side of their relationship. Steve Barnhart and Amy Swick play around in General Business. Ready for the World Couples 11 ashions: Trends reverse back in time to become timely Big, bold patterns, teased, full hair- styles for girls, and spiked or full hair- styles for guys all became the “in” thing to wear in 1987. The fashion style was basically “any- thing goes”. The teen-agers of ’86-’87 had a new style, but wait; take a look at some old magazines; you know, the ones Mom and Dad have had hidden in the closet for years. Many of the hairstyles and clothes seem familiar. Many of today’s fashions that were seen around Valley’s halls were very simi- lar to those from past decades. Depend- ing on the personal preference of the wearer, the styles viewed throughout the corridors came from anywhere between the 1940’s to the 1970’s. On any given day, one would have seen a long mid-calf length straight skirt like those worn in the 40’s, then he’d turn a corner and find a girl in a mini skirt from the late 60’s and early 70’s. These styles were updated by differences in the fabric, and by printed fabric being used. Of course the trends of ’86-’87, though similar to those of past decades, were definitely styles of the eighties. In 1987 Swatches, big, clunky jewelry, funky shoes, and jean jackets were things teens could call their own. Since older fashions were the big thing, some of the best places to shop were thrift stores. “My goal in life is to own a Salvation Army Thrift Store dynasty. Stores like Maurice’s and Kline’s all carry the same kinds of clothes. They leave a person no opportunity to be unique and different from the crowd.”, commented Heidi Fisher. These three haircuts were popular for the guys. The one on the left was often seen in Valley’s halls. They are from left to right: the three-line, the brioche, and the mushroom. Shaved or bleached sides were definitely “in” for men during the ’87 school year. Sam Man- waring finishes up a make-up test right in style. Moussed hairstyles and Salvation Army jewelry be- came hot in 1987. While finishing some last minute homework, senior Pam Dove also gives an example of the past coming back into style by wearing a jean jacket and a scarf as a head band. Trends H omecoming spirit isn’t dampened With each new year also comes a variety of different sports, not the least of all foot- ball, and not the least of all games. Home- coming. Homecoming wasn’t just a single game, but a week of festivities ranging from the hall decorating contest, the spirit banner contest, the Homecoming court elections, and the various spirit days. On Wednesday of Homecoming week each class had two hours to decorate its halls with crepe paper, baUoons, banners, and anything else students could find to catch the judges’ eyes. The juniors won the contest with the sophomores coming in second place and the freshmen, third. Due to the rain during the game, the spirit banners could only be displayed and judged in the commons. “Blast the Com- ets” by the senior class captured the class banner competition. “A Most Logical Out- come” by the Art Club won the club ban- ner contest. During the week, the students were giv- en ballots to elect their Homecoming rep- resentatives and the senior King, and Queen. Representing the freshman class were Heidi Smithson and Dan Brower. The sophomore class was represented by Tracy Martin and Craven Lynn. Missy Kubley and Randy Cumberland were the junior class representatives. The three Queen candidates were Jana Hawkins, Sue Lafferty, and Heather Kra- jewski. The three King candidates were Corey Hoffman, Chris Zolman, and Dwain Dunn. After the game, Chris Zolman and Jana Hawkins were crowned Homecoming King and Queen. Several “Spirit” days were also ob- served during Homecoming week, Monday was Jersey day, Tuesday Twin day, Wednesday Punk day, Thursday Cowboy and Indian day, and Friday was Viking Spirit day. At the pep session before the game, the football team sang their own version of the “Homecoming Shuffle” and emptied the bleachers when they danced to “Walk this Way” by Run DMC. “The Eastern game could best be de- scribed in two words: cold and wet”, com- mented assistant Coach Miller. Just as the rain was coming down on the field, so were the Vikings in coming down on Eastern. The Viking defense kept the Eastern of- fense shut down all night while the offense scored several times with the final score being 39-0 Besides the rallies of the cheerleaders, fan support The senior Homecoming King and Queen are Chris is also very important.

The family consists of Count (Bryon Buck) and his wife Letha (Heidi Fischer) and their beautiful daughter Dirga (Julie Smith). Thinking that Buddy Ford (Robert Lad- son) is a member of the famous Ford family, Letha tries to get him interested in Dirga, while keeping the rest of his friends lost. And so starts the adventure of “Boys and Gouls”. “They were a wonderful cast and working with them was a lot of fun. They seemed to take their parts very seriously which helped to smooth out the normally rough parts of producing a play,” said Mrs. Barr, director. In the musical “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers”, the plot once again included the hopeful prospect of marriage, but this time it had seven brides and seven grooms. Adam (John King) must find a bride to take care of him and his six brothers, so he sets off into town to find a bride. He then meets Milly (Heidi Fischer) and mar- ries her. Upon returning to his cabin, Mil- ly finds out that Adam does not live alone. To help take care of the brothers, Milly helps to set up six girls with Adam’s brothers. What ensues is madcapped chase and a curious wedding. “We had a large number of girls that turned out for try-outs, so we just split the girls up into two groups, one perform- ing Friday night and one performing Sat- urday night”, said Mr. Pace, director. Musicals The band ‘Illegal Procedure.' Juniors Amy Lewis and Roger Webb gaze deeply into each others eyes as other couples sway to the music around them. rom theme forgotten Couples filed into the Holiday Inn in Warsaw to find themselves surrounded by peach and silver streamers and bal- loons. The floor sparkled with sprinklings of glitter. The band, Illegal Procedure, played from 8:00 to 11:00 pm. Lisa Huffman said, “The band was great, but they should have played the theme.” The theme “ Will You Still Love Me?” by Chicago was not played. This caused dis- sension among some prom-goers. Despite the fact that the theme did not get played, many people enjoyed the prom. “The prom was very elegant and nice. I was very impressed. I had a great time, but I’m kind of sad since it is my last one,” commented Stacy Loer. Appetizers were served downstairs near the pool. Mr. Miller said, “The food was nice. The valet parking added to the elegant atmosphere. The dance floor was rather small and that was a drawback because the main reason people go to the prom is to dance.” New English teacher Miss Merrit re- ceived responsibility of organizing the prom. This became her major duty as a junior class sponsor. Along with her com- mittees she put together a prom that Darci Jordan and the majority of other students and teachers described as “ great!” -| Q Ready For The World JlO Student Life The prom court was as follows: Duane Dunn, Pam Dove, Leslie VanDeWater, Queen Sue Lafferty, King Chris Zolman, Andrew Wood, and Jamie Culli- son.

The graduation class of 1987 wait to be led in the traditional turning of the tassel. part: Yet close in heart Class motto: “Though friends sometimes live far apart, memories keep them close in heart.” During the four years that were spent at Valley, the class of 87 wit- nessed many joyous, as well as tragic, events that turned into memories to be looked back on. The first day of school for them as freshmen was both hectic and fun as they met new friends and tried to find their way about the halls of Valley. As their four years progressed, the places seemed to become more familiar, as did the people. Then the event that marked the transition from high school to real life occured on May 23 at 7:30; gradua- tion. Commencement was highlighted by many events such as Rev. William Haines presenting the invocation, stu- dent addresses by John King, Bryon Buck, and Tony Crill, three musical numbers performed by the TVHS band, presentation of the bibles by Rev. Lee Stubblefield, and the bene- diction by Rev. Lester Taylor. Then, as the members of the band played, the seniors stepped up to the speaking platform and were presented with their diplomas. With the turning of the tassel, led by class president, Tom Finney, gradua- tion came to a close. Ready For The World Graduation N ews events rock the Valley Throughout the nine months that Tip- pecanoe Valley held classes, many na- tional and international news events shook the world, the nation, the state, and TVHS. From the drought in the Southeast to the Iran-Contra scandal that rocked the world through May, Valley’s halls echoed with the latest news. England’s Prince Andrew married com- moner Sarah Fergusen. Another widely publicized wedding also took place in July. Caroline Kennedy married business- man Edwin Schlossburg in Hyannis Port, Mass. The first plane to fly non-stop around the world without re-fueling, the Voyag- er, did so in December, 1986. Several natural disasters also affected the world in 1986-87. In 1986, the worst drought in the history of the Southeast struck. Crops were destroyed from southern Pennsylvania to north Florida. Hundred of Indiana farmers, contributed hay and livestock to the devastated farm- ers of the Southeast. In Cameroon a bubble of hot gas rose to the surface of Lake Nios. The wind carried the gas across the land and, within minutes, over 1700 people were killed. They were burned by steam and choked by carbon dioxide and other toxic gases. In late May tornadoes ripped through Texas. The town of Saragosa was re- duced to rubble and 29 people died. Terrorism also gripped the world in 1986-87. In September two terrorists stormed the main synagogue in Istanbul, Turkey. They killed over 20 worshippers and when the police arrived, they deto- nated hand grenades and killed them- selves. Airports were a favorite sight for ter- rorists to strike. Travel to some European cities slowed considerably due to the in- creased attacks on travelers. President Reagan signed a new tax bill in October 1986. This new law, the broadest overhaul in a generation, cut taxes for most workers, sliced out some prized deductions, like the sales tax on automobiles, and placed most of the tax burden on corporations. Also in October, President Reagan met with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in Iceland to discuss arms control. The two- day summit came to an end without set- tling the issue of the United States testing of the Star Wars weaponry. One of the most scandalous govern- ment issues since Watergate also in- volved Ronald Reagan. In an attempt to- help the rebel Contras in El Salvador, the United States sold arms to Iran. The ship- ment and payment went through Israel. The money was put into a Swiss bank account and then transferred to the Con- tras. These were just a few of the numerous news stories that made the 1986-87 school year memorable. Among the casualties of the gas bubble at Lake Nios, Cameroon, was this group of cows.

The Original Party Animal”, Spuds Mackenzie became the most popular attraction of TV commercials. E ntertaining the world Through the medium of television, mov- ies, and concerts, Valley students saw a large portion of entertainment. In the sports arena, Bart Conners, skip- per of Stars and Stripes, captured the America’s Cup after losing it to the Austra- lian team two years before in the best of seven series. Also in sports, many of Val- ley’s students and faculty cheered at the success of Indiana at the NCAA finals in New Orleans. Entertainment also came in the form of major events. On July 4, 1986, President Reagan officially unveiled the Statue of Liberty after its multi-million dollar refur- bishing. “The flashes of the fireworks along with the lights of the city, lit up the sky”, said Greg Stump, 88, who was in New York at the time of the unveiling. Television also provided a form of enter- tainment. One of the leading shows for the ’87 season was Moonlighting starring Bruce Willis and Cybil Sheperd as a pair of private detectives. Topping the 1987 television season, “Wheel of Fortune” became the most pop- ular game show with host Pat Sayjack and co-hostess Vanna White. Bon Jovi rocketed to the top of the music charts with their “Slippery When Wet” album. They also performed to sold- out concerts across America. Commercials also provided a portion of entertainment. One of the most popular characters that starred on the Bud Light commercials was Spuds Mackenzie “The Original Party Animal” as the ad portrays. The Statue of Liberty was completed by July 4. 1986. Valley’s Greg Stump witnessed the unveiling. The group Bon Jovi hit the top of the charts with album Slippery When Wet”. Ready For The World OJT Entertainment EAOY TO On a Wednesday early in the fall, TVHS held its first activity period of the year. This first op- portunity for clubs to meet encouraged the organizations to prepare for the new school year. In 1986-87, the Chess club attended several chess tournaments. These were held in Ft. Wayne, Terre Haute, and Bre- men. During the holidays, FCA sponsored a food collection drive for the needy fam- ilies in the area. The whole student body helped them out. At the annual Greek Night award cere- mony, Drama club members wore togas in true Greek spirit. The 1988 officers were announced and dinner was served by Nancy’s Fancies of Warsaw. PARTICIPATE When spring blossomed, the French and Spanish clubs invaded Chicago’s Art Institute and Water Tower Place mall. They stopped at Merrillville on the way up for breakfast and again on the way home for more shopping at Southlake Mall. As just a sample of the busy activities schedule, these few clubs exemplified the spirit of organizations as they became ready to participate. As members of FCA. Karen Ruberg and Lisa Trump place food in the collection box. It went to the needy in this area. During a special activity of the French club, Jenny Shaffer samples some of the French cuisine. 26 Ready For The World Activities While in Chicago, these school buses were ticketed for illegal parking.

Most OEA members said the club helped them to prepare for the future and their career. Jody Shepherd com- mented, “It is helping me prepare for college and it is also a lot like the job I’d like to have some day.” Eighteen people participated in OEA during the ’86-’87 school year. They planned to do several different activities, most of which was community work. Over Christmas they visited local hospi- tals. They also had fund raisers such as dances and selling buttons. The money earned was to help pay for contest. Sunshine Society, the largest group during the ’86-’87 school year, had over eighty participants, all of whom were girls. The club held a bus drivers’ breakfast and also donated money to the Riley Chil- dren’s Hospital. They also held a peanut pal week. The members drew names to determine peanut pals and then bought small gifts for their peanut pals for one week. When asked what they liked most about the group, Stacey Shepherd and Angla McAfoose agreed, “The ideal la- dies! It’s really a neat idea!

Spanish and french Rocking through the night for 24 hours straight, the French Club raised money for their field trips to plays, restaurants, and a language day at a specific college. They also raised the money so that they could give a $500 scholarship. The event took place at the home of Becky Terp- stra, club president, on December 12 13, 1986. Julie Smith said, “Watching all the good movies,” was what she liked best about the Rock-A-Thon. “I liked all the food!” said Becky Terpstra. Mrs. Buss said she enjoyed sponsoring the club and its members. “Teaching and French are two of my greatest interests. I enjoy all of the extracurricular activities because they give me the opportunity to see students in a different environment and to react with them on a social level.” Spanish Club held various activities throughout the year. A few were selling candles, watching a Mexican perfor- mance in Fort Wayne, IN, and selling lolli- pops for Valentines Day. Vacationing at Mexico for Christmas was the main event of the year for a few of the Spanish Club members. Ready For The World Activities Front Row — M. Kubley, A. Zolman, S. Lafferty, S.

Spanish And French Club There were certain qualifications that were met in order to have been chosen for the National Honor Society. One must have had an average of a B, be approved by his teachers, have good scholarship, leadership, service and character. When asked which qualification was most important, NHS sponsor Mrs. Welch replied, “All of them are.” Some students had a rough time in keeping their grades up. “My one most difficult subject to maintain a B average in was Journalism.” said Missy Kubley. Student Council representatives also had to meet certain qualifications. They needed to be fairly good students and had to represent their classes accordingly. They also had to be approved by their teachers. During the 86 87 school year, the Stu- dent Council planned a Wall of Fame in which the senior class members who had obtained high achievement during their high school years were honored. When asked why she wanted to repre- sent her class in Student Council, Diana Erp replied, “I wanted to have some say in my class.” Kim Keirn said, “I was inter- ested in my class’ problems.” NIGHTMARE DEATH LLEY Key Club participated in the banner contest, spon- sored by St. Council, with “Nightmare in Death Valley.” At the homecoming dance, sponsored by Student Council.

He spoke in the after- noon with students and again that night with the community. “He related well with any crowd.’’ remarked both Mr. Hill and Mrs. Brock. “He made me think about all the fam- ous people who use drugs, what they are doing to themselves, and how it can affect the people who idolized them,” said Jeannie Steele. “The convocation taught me how drinking can affect my body. I thought Bill was real funny and was seri- ous when he needed to be,” said Corey Smith. While SADD was concerned with the students attitudes toward drinking and driving, Key Club was concerned with the entire community. Key Club is an organi- zation associated with Kiwanis.

Ready For The World W Activities Weather conditions disappointed the Ski Club members. They had hoped to ski more than four or five times, but the weather did not fulfill their hopes. Ski club members were also disappointed when the warm winter prevented them from taking their annual ski trip to Michi- gan. Some members of the Ski Club felt membership had not been as good as in previous years. A few members attended meetings, but never went skiing. “If peo- ple are going to be in Ski Club they should ski. They should not be in Ski Club just to say they belong,” said Troy Rudd. Valley’s long list of organizations gained a new member, Lettermen’s Club, a club for varsity lettermen only. This means that to participate an athlete has to be male, have participated in a varsity sport, and have been awarded a varsity “TV” for this participatfon. Lettermen’s Club was formed for the purpose of rec- ognizing outstanding athletes and to sup- port other athletes. “I think Lettermen’s Club is a good idea. We always have a good time togeth- er,” said Shane Picklesimer. During their meetings the lettermen watched films and talked about recent sports events. Letter- men’s Club sponsored a dance and of- fered a scholarship to a graduating se- nior. Being in a jumbled heap on a Monday night ski trip at Mt.

EADY TO PLAY Viking Fever was alive once more in 1987. The Valley fans had much to fire up about. The Varsity football team lost only two games, both to Whitko, one in regular season play and the other in the Sectional Championship game. The girls’ swim team and the cross country team also had some outstanding performances. Freshman Diane Sisk broke five school records and placed sec- ond in Sectionals. Ellen Burdge, junior, placed seventh in the sectionals. Seniors Gary LaMar and Jack Sisk and junior Danita Boggs all placed in the cross coun- try Regionals. When winter sports rolled around, the Viking fans had more exciting athletic events to attend. The major form of en- tertainment came in the shape of the boys’ varsity basketball team. For only the second time in Valley history, the Vikes went all the way to Regionals. With a sectional win over Warsaw, the Vikings went on to lose to the Penn Kingsmen in the first round of Regional competition. Coach DuBois commented, “At the beginning of the season, we were very optimistic about the season’s possi- bilities. We were also aware of the fact that we were playing a tough schedule.’’ The Lady Vikings also had a good sea- son.

Going into the sectional with only one loss to Whitko, the Vikings easily defeated North Miami 15-0 and Oak Hill 23-13. In the Sectional championship game, the Vi- kings lost to Whitko 0-18. Brian Peterson said that the toughest team they played was Whitko. Coach Phillips commented, “Whitko was the toughest team we played. Their offensive and defensive linemen were too big and strong for us to handle.” Dean Trippiedi said, “Everyone im- proved toward the end of the season.

One of the highlights of the year was running in the Bloomington Invitational. The Vikings placed second in their class. “Our performance at the TRC meet and beating Warsaw at the sectionals were the most memorable occurrences of the year,” said Coach Terry Screeton. “The runners have worked very hard and have shown lots of improvement.” Leading the Vikings were Gary Lamar, Jack Sisk, and Scott Wadkins. “They have provided consistent leadership throughout the entire season,” comment- ed Coach Screeton. Valley advanced to the Regionals after placing fourth in the sectional. Gary La- mar, Jack Sisk, and Danita Boggs placed individually and qualified for the Semi- state competition.

Celebrating the spirit of victory, seniors John McDaniel and Dale Miller realize their dream of winning their last sectional game. Varsity Basketball Playing to win “Defense was the key,” said head coach Ivan Schuler, to the varsity girls’ winning season. Their final record was 12-5 and 6-1 in the conference. During the season, the girls had an eleven game winning streak, which preceeded three straight losses, one of which was for the TRC championship against Northfield. Also, for the second year in a row, the varsity gals won the Rochester Tourney by defeating North Miami in the champi- onship game. The season came to a close in early February when the girls lost in overtime to Wawasee in the first game of the sectional. For the year, the leading scorers were Leslie Miller and Jody Yochum. Leslie also led in rebounds. Mr. Schuler com- mented that the bench for the team was very strong and contributed greatly to the success of the team. “We suffered through to many morn- ing practices,” said Kris Perry. Evidently it paid off. The team finished with a 14-3 record. The J.V. was victorious in the championship game of the TRC. They played Northfield in a come-from-behind game to win 38-28. As a result of the season, Jenny Doud, Katie Ramsey, and Jana Murphy were the leading scorers. Jana Murphy was also the leading rebounder. The freshman team finished with a record of 3-7. Barb Burdge led in points with 63 and Jill Butt led in offensive re- bounds with 16 and also defensive re- bounds with 27. Back Row: Head Coach Schuler, mgr. B. Walker. Front Row: mgr. K. Lamar. D.

We may have lost a lot, but we had a lot of fun,’’ said Mariel- lyn Goodwin. At the beginning of the girls’ season, eleven girls came out, but by November, only seven of them were still part of the team. The fact that they had only seven swimmers made it difficult to win against larger teams. Diane Sisk, the MVP of the team, broke five school records and she came within .3 seconds from qualifying for state. The boys’ swim team had a record of 5-7. They gained all of their wins as they improved toward the end of the season, winning five of their last six meets. Scott Beery broke the 200 individual medley and the 100 backstroke records. The relay team, consisting of Paul Good- win, Derrick Manwaring, Chris Paris, and Jack Sisk, broke the 400 freestyle relay record.

R EADY TO LEARN “You’ve Got to Think, You’ve Got to Care”, was a message spread across a bulletin board in Mr. Cumberland’s room that was designed to “get students to care more about the grades they re- ceived”, said Mr. Cumberland. With the start of the 1987 school year, new guidelines were set to improve the quality of education. Among these were having teachers graded on their teaching techniques, and holding teacher-in-ser- vice, all in an attempt to improve student learning. The administration “graded” teachers on their teaching techniques to recognize weak points and reward achievements in their ways of teaching. Teacher-in-service also helped to im- prove teaching methods. “It helps teach- ers know more about themselves in ex- amples of good teaching, and gets teachers to communicate with each other more”, said Dr. Hill. “After we improved the teaching methods, we also tried to place an em- phasis on the students to learn more”, added Dr. Hill. Another way that teachers helped im- prove their classes was by staying after school or meeting before school with stu- dents that were having difficulty with their classes.

Earth Science students in both Miss Day’s and Mr. Grossnickle’s classes were given the opportunity to give a weather report to the rest of the class, using weather maps and the correct termi- nology. Most students chose a particular sci- ence class because of graduation re- quirements or as a preparation for col- lege. However, a few students had specific career goals in mind when se- lecting a science course. Jerrod Feldman said he plans to be- come a physical therapist. He chose to take Anatomy and Physiology to pro- vide him with the basic knowledge needed for his career goal. Heidi Fish- er chose Chemistry with the hope of one day becoming a veterinarian. Chemistry and Earth Science teach- er Miss Day said she “tried to make students aware of the possible hazards while working around anything hazard- ous.” One October day, her second period Earth Science class went out- side to attempt to lift off mini-hot air balloons. Miss Day lit two propane torches, and while lighting the third, flames be- gan to spout out of a soldered joint. She attempted to turn the torch off, but the flames spread. She then no- ticed pure propane was leaking out. Quickly she threw the torch and be- gan leading the students back to the school.

One problem, which has always been a conflict, is whether it is better to take a harder class and receive a lower grade, or to get a higher grade in an easier class. “It gives me confidence to get a higher grade. That’s why I chose an easier class,” said Barry Bays. Although some students chose to get a higher grade in an easier class, many chose to take the more difficult Algebra I class. “I think it is better to work for a higher grade in a harder class,” said Sara Miller, who took Al- gebra I. Heather Heighway said “I took Algebra I because I didn’t think I would need a pre-algebra course, since I did really good in Jr. high Algebra.” To eliminate the pressures of Alge- bra I, students had the option of taking pre-algebra, a course designed to pre- pare students for Algebra. Matt Smith said “It was recommended that I take Pre-Algebra, since my Algebra test scores in Jr. High were lower than average.” No matter what level of math a stu- dent chose, the emphasis was placed on learning. “I think the most impor- tant thing for a student to do is to succeed and understand one course first, before taking on a harder class,” said Mr. Dubois, an Algebra I teacher.

Amy Heighway who took Family Management said, “It’s scary thinking about the future.” Also in Family Management class Pau- la Summers Horn said, “Now that I’m married, it helps me budget my money more effectively.” Lori Hurd who took housing also commented, “It has helped me and my fiance budget our money for the future.” The Child Development classes had a hog demonstration on February 16. Then on February 17 18, they took a trip to the Rochester Hospital.

Matt Mauk commented, “I feel that girls have just as much impor- tance in agriculture as guys do.” Activities of the ’86-’87 school year included a soil judging team in Octo- ber, the Greenhand Banquet on No- vember 18th for FFA and a teacher’s breakfast sponsored by FFA and FHA on December 17th. Mrs. Weitzel said that agriculture class was important to her students to get a basic background in agriculture, and the majority of her students are going to make their careers in an agri- culture field. ‘‘Agriculture and agri- business is the backbone of our coun- try.

The choir performed three songs, which were edited with performances from other high schools and then aired on Channel 34 at Christmas time for a 90 minute program. Mr. Pace said “It was a real good experience for everyone, myself in- cluded. We learned a lot about the television industry, too.” The choir, consisting of high school students, grades 9 through 12, per- formed three concerts this year with an average of seven songs per concert. Most students agreed that choir was a fun class. Liz Goshert said, “I took choir because I enjoyed it in Jr. High, and it gives me a break in my day when I can relax and enjoy the music without having too much homework.” Other students took choir because they needed it for their career field. Dawn Burch said, “Since I want to be a choir director, it is required for me.” Some students, on the other hand, took the class merely for enjoyment. Heidi Smithson said, “I took choir just because I like music.” Choir During 2nd hour 3-Dimensional Art Class, David Hurd and Lori Hurd paste newspaper strips on their paper mache projects.

Of the five different art class- es offered second semester, 47% of the students that signed up for an art class took Basic Art. This course is required in order to take any other Art courses offered including 3-Dimension- al, Advanced Art, Painting, and De- sign. Nicole Gillman said, “I took Basic Art because we do a lot of different projects, and it helps me to decide which types of art I like best.” Some of the projects included mosaics, inks, still lifes, and sketches. Like most art students, those that 98 Ready For The World Academics signed up for the 3-Dimensional class were excited to try a new project. ‘‘The students were divided into groups of three or four, and were re- sponsible for a paper mache project,” said Mrs. Mills, the art teacher. The students were required to en- large the creations in proportional size. A few of the projects included a giant taco, complete with toppings, and a huge bag of M M’s. David Hurd, who was a member of the M M project, said, “For a new project, I thought it was a good idea, and I think they should do it every year. It gives us a chance to build co- operation and learn to work together as one.” One requirement of the Advanced Art Class is to design an ad. Toni Garrison adds the finishing touches to her project.

The 6th hour Journalism students all dedicated themselves to making a monthly newspaper for the Valley stu- dent body to enjoy. “Sometimes it is hard to meet the deadlines, but other than that, the class is a fun learning experience,” said Angie Seeley. During 7th hour, seventeen stu- dents of the yearbook staff gathered in groups to work on pages of the year- book. Amanda Williams, co-editor-in- chief, said “Deciding what the entire school body will like is hard, but when the yearbook comes out, it is worth the hard work.” On April 24, 1987, both the year- book and Journalism students traveled to Ball State for the annual J-Day.

Both playing on the team and cheering the team on from the sidelines, everywhere there were people. Some had painted faces or pom-poms, but most just used their voices to ex- press school spirit. As football turned to basketball, there again were Valley fans cheer- ing the team on to a sectional vic- tory over Warsaw. As the last buzz- er of the sectional championship game sounded, the noise became deafening and the crowd rushed across the basketball court. But sports wasn’t the only thing people were active in. Band had a very successful year by going to State Championships. The drama and music students turned out “Boys and Gouls” in the fall and “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers’’ in the spring. Also during the year people had a part in many clubs which, like Key Club’s haunted house, put on fund raisers and traveled, like French and Spanish club’s trip to Chicago, to many different places. Then, with all of the year’s events over, graduation came and those who were graduating looked back on what they had accom- plished.

By so doing, they hope to improve student learning in their class- rooms. Preparing students for their futures is only one of the many specific goals shared by teachers at Valley. A specific goal of Mrs. Eggleston, who teaches busi- ness, was “to show kids that numbers don’t need to be frightening!” A goal of Mrs. Buss, the French instruc- tor, was “to help students learn another culture.” Mrs. Mills, the Art teacher, said Mr. Cumberland shares a laugh with his first period class of Algebra II. while taking a break from prop- erties of determinants. she is here “to help as many students as possible to achieve the best work of their ability.” As goals were met, many of the teach- ers wondered if their efforts were appre- ciated.

The tomb is located in Arlington Ceme- tery, where the students observed the changing of the guard. The seniors also visited the Jefferson, Lincoln and Kenne- dy memorials. The 38-student, six-faculty group left at 4:45 Saturday morning. At 10:15, they arrived at their destination. After eating a quick breakfast, the se- niors went to the Ford Theatre. Some of the other highlights of the trip were spending the afternoon at the Federal Mall and the Smithsonian, and a bus tour of Washington at night. The trip came to an end all too soon at 11:00 Sunday night, when the students and faculty returned, exhausted but thrilled at having visited our nation’s capi- tal. “I felt very honored to be chosen to lay the wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.” — jeffFeidman.

When asked why he would invite both President Reagan and Eddie Murphy, Shane Pickle- simer said “I would invite Eddie Murphy so I could watch him make President Rea- gan laugh.’ Not all seniors wanted to see President Reagan laugh though, Chris Risner said he would invite him “To see what secrets I could get out from him.’ Not all seniors were conversation- minded when they thought about who they would invite. Dwain Dunn and Ha Trinh said they would invite three good- looking people of the opposite sex.

The opinion was shared by three people, Rob Baker, David Collins, and Beth Bammer lin thought that, “Duh!” summed up their thoughts about their senior class, while “Psychos!” was uttered from Jack Sisk.

Kim Poe said, “My most memorable moment was playing powderpuff football.” Other memories were made as winners were made. “It would have to be when I won the J.V. wrestling tournament,’’ was Jim Ramsey’s most memorable moment. Dustin DuBois said his most memorable moment was “winning the sectional in 1987 and playing in the Regional.” A lot of memories were made when the juniors were young and inexperienced.

Most Valley juniors seemed to think working the basketball games dur- ing the season was a reasonable way to earn free admission to the prom. Others seemed to think of it as a waste of time and energy. Dustin DuBois stated, “I’m a basketball player, and I’m very tired after the game. I don’t think players should have to work.” A few changes were made by Junior Class President, Donnie Fellows. Donnie changed the required two games to three. This change was unpopular with many juniors. Roby Potter said, “I think we should only have to work one or two games.” Dean Trippiedi stated, “Work- ing concessions isn’t fair, because a lot of people can’t make it to the games.” Kim Poe said, “I couldn’t do junior conces- sions, because I had to work at my paying job.” Dina Howton replied, “I wouldn’t work games even if I was going to the prom. I dislike the working environ- ment.” In loving memory of our departed friend Bobby Sisneros (1969-1986) “Working the games isn’t fair; what about the ones who have jobs?’ Dena Whitaker Juniors 131 Three long, hard, yet fun years are over for these ’87 juniors at Valley. The years passed by so quickly and then they’re off to reach higher goals and are put to the test in the real world. The juniors of the year were ready for that final chance to enjoy their fellow classmates in high school and finish their academic programs. “I think we’re going to rule the whole school, and set a good example for the younger classmen”, stated Mark Wyatt. Steve Holloway said, ‘‘I’m scared about what lies ahead and about the decisions I have to make yet.” Jeff Hoyt thinks his last year will be great because he’ll have superiority over all the little “dinks”, and be that much closer to graduation. The majority of the juniors were anx- ious about their senior year and looked forward to the future, although almost everyone was scared about the big deci- sions that would have to be made.

Many plans and thoughts went into it. What to do? Where to go? To get ready for summer vacation, most juniors made the most they could out of spring break. A handful of juniors headed for the Sunshine State, Florida, for some fun in the sun. After all the excitement and traveling during spring break, some juniors planned on going on a summer vacation. Scott Peters said, “I plan on going to Some Valley students spend a lot of time during spring break ’87 on the crowded Florida beaches.

The Times To Remember The beeping of horns, and the cheer of the crowd were just a couple of things that helped the sophomores remember their major events of the 86-87 year. Everyone held something major in his thoughts of the year; as Holly Howard said, “Getting my license was probably the major event of my sophomore year. Now I can cruise.” J.V. basketball was another happy ex- perience. “Winning the TRC J.V. girls’ basketball title was my major event of my sophomore year because it meant a lot to the team and coach to win this title,” Kris Perry stated. Going to State with marching band was another well-remembered event. Deb Shepherd said, “It’s an honor to be cho- sen as one of the top ten bands in Indiana, and to march in the Hoosier Dome!” So, the sophomore that drove to school for the very first time, or the one with his head held high from the glory of success, made the 86-87 year worth re- membering.

Most of them felt that having a longer school year would just discourage, rather than advance, their education. Most students did not agree with the issue of lengthening the school year. Cin- dy McSherry, like a lot of students, said ‘‘I hardly have enough time at home for myself.” ‘‘Students need a time where they go on family vacations and do not have to miss school.” commented Stacey Shepherd. How could this problem be handled? “I think it would be easier to lengthen the school day.” said Jenny Malott. Other students strongly stressed that the school year should remain the same.

Most said that having a job did not affect their grades or their social lives. “I just do more of my homework during school now. commented Missy French, “I also meet a lot of new people and have made some fantastic friends!” Soph’s said they spend their money as soon as they make it.

That’s the way most sophomores felt about their fresh- men year. They felt that they had grown and matured since their freshmen year. Wendy Sutton said “I have grown up a lot just by watching the upperclassmen and trying to be like them in some ways.” Watching upperclassmen and being friends with more of them helped the sophomores to mature. Another thing that helped the sopho- mores was the fact that they were no longer freshmen. Not being a freshman made the sophomores feel like they be- longed more to the school. Angie Seeley said “I feel like I belong more and I know where the classes are and I know most of the teachers.” Sophomores, in general, as most soph- omore classes in the past, did not have much respect for freshmen and did not think too highly of them.

Anxious moments of entering high school finally paid off for the freshmen! August 22 marked the first day of a new life for the “new crowd’’. The majority stumbled into the building, in large hectic clumps, with sweaty palms and jittery stomachs, in search of their lockers and classrooms. After the first several days, however, these nervous feelings began to simmer as they became more accus- tomed to the high school way of life. When asked if they liked Jr. high or high school better, the majority of the young Vikings said high school. However, La Shawn Glover replied, “I enjoyed Jr. high, because it’s a more homey-type and relaxed atmosphere.” The freshmen classes were a little hard- er than what most of them expected, mainly due to the material. Heather Heighway thought the classes were easier because the teachers didn’t put as much pressure on her. She also stated that she didn’t know when to take the teachers seriously, especially Mr. DuBois! Some of the specific things freshmen would have liked to change about their first year at Valley were having a longer lunch and not having the seniors “boo” at them during pep-sessions. The only thing that David Earl would have liked to change was his height. He added, “I’d like to be taller. One of my most embarrasing moments out here, was trying on marching-band uniforms. They were all too big.” The making of a Viking isn’t difficult for Jason Risncr.

Every year more and more teen-agers become involved in drug and alcohol abuse, in an alarming and increasing rate. The youn- ger they start, the more dangerous the problem becomes. The majority of freshmen surveyed, that have had to make the difficult deci- sion of trying drugs and alcohol, simply said no the addicting abuse. Do the upper classmen pressure the younger freshmen to join their parties? Lori Baker said, ‘‘I don’t think the upper classmen care enough to bother too many of the fresh- men.” One freshman student added that he would appreciate a class dealing with drugs and alcohol, to help those who need it.

Mariellyn Goodwin stated that he was her favorite “Sometimes.” Coach Greg Sciarra came in a close second. Sam King replied “Sciarra can relate to you. He’s not a teacher, he’s a friend.” The number three teacher was Mr. Bob DuBois.

It was printed by Jos- ten's Printing and Publishing Divi- sion in Clarksville, TN. The SAGA contains 184 pages, and 400 copies were ordered. The book has a sewed binding and is 8'h X 11 inches in size. The cover is in Deep Red with a silk screen applied in Silver. The base ink is black, but Spot Color was used on the opening section and for some of the Student Life sec- tion. The paper used was 80 pound. The endsheets were Stain- less Steel in color. Various typestyles were used. The main type was Souvenir: 10 point type for body copy and 8 point for captions. Headlines were generally 24 point, sentence style. The 1987 SAGA was produced by a staff of 17, with the help of the advisor, Mrs. Terri Klotz. Each sec- tion had an editor with two to three staff members. Indiana School Pictures took all of the club group pictures and all portrait style pictures. The staff took most of the candid photos, and some pictures came from oth- er students. The SAGA's cover and section graphics were designed by mem- bers of the staff. The cover design was drawn up by Josten's artist, Ho- bart. Through the efforts of the staff, and with the much appreciated help of the newspaper staff, the SAGA sold over $8,000.00 worth of advertising. The 1986 SAGA, whose theme was just Eor the Fun of It, received a rating of First class from the Na- tional Scholastic Press Associa- tion.

Frankie Banghart holds on the ‘‘memories.” LOSING THE WORLD The countdown be- gan: 6, 5, 4 until there was just one day of school left. This constant count- down was expressed on boards by stu- dents in Algebra II class and in the cheers of seniors as they anxiously awaited grad- uation. Students were busy during the final weeks with Prom, the senior trip to Wash- ington D.C., awards night, final exams, graduation, and the last day of school. Along with these major activities there were also others like the Speech II pre- sentation of “Terror in the Suburbs”, and the annual Big Wallie Eating Contest which Valley lost to Wawasee by two Big Wallies. There were also many field trips to places like Ball State, the Federal Court, and Delco, and the different track, tennis, and golf meets, along with the baseball games during those last weeks. The climax for the seniors came on May 23, after four years of high school: graduation. The seniors walked across the gym floor to receive their diplomas, many with a look of sadness as they had to say good-bye to many of their friends, but also with anticipation as they looked forward to their own futures. The climax for the underclassmen came on the last day with the 3:10 bell, the end of school, and the start of sum- mer vacation. During the fall, fans endured the rain to cheer on the Vikings.
