Getting Together Hey, Look at us; The students of W.H.S. showed the entire South Bend Community that we ' re no longer that dis- orderly west end school. It had been five years since the racial disturbance at W.H.S., and that was something to be proud of. We learned to live together by working together. The students of W.H.S. really got into school this year as shown by the increased involvement in clubs and school activities. This was especially important because of the decreased school enrollment. The students were also involved in com- munity activities and services, such as vol- unteering their own time at nursing homes and donating blood at the Saint Joseph County Blood Bank. The cooperative spirit and the energetic competition in both academics and sports was growing — so Look at us! 1 Above right: A few students congregate to talk of new plans in one of the many crowded hall- ways.

Students, after experiencing a full load of classes each clay, seemed relieved to hear the beautiful chime of the 3:00 be! these first minutes of relaxation, came the hectic hours of involvement in extracurri- cular activities. Among these activities were: participating in sports, jamin ' I certs, partying, and serious studying. Employment was also a major adjustment in the lives of many students, as it was a new experience. Therefore, the W.H.S. student continu- ally faced challenges and overcame con- flicts, in and out of school. Day On The Irish Campus In the fall, of ' 76 several W.H.S. students ser otit to see the sights at Notre Dame University. As they- approached the entrance tci the college, the splendor of the . Golden; Dome was spectacular. They also saw .Sacred .Heart Church, a magnificent beauty of gt thic architectural design. .The day turned exciting when someone decided to take a dip in a fountain. The f oiin tain y. located between two dormitories, . was small, and full of extremely cold water. Everyone roiled up his pants and jumped in. Many onlookers stared, wondering just what was going on. As the day rolled on, the students took a long walk down by the lake to dry off and terrorize the ducks. Throughout the day the students seemed to say Hey, Look at US! and everyone certainly did that. t in a fountain on campus. Sue Casey! ahcl E an : Lara Panthers Find Enjoyable Activities Football games, parries and dances were jusr a few of the ways W.H.S. students spent their Friday and Saturday nights. Panther fans always screamed and shouted, showing the true Panther Spirit at any athletic event. The strong and spirited voices of the seniors, supporting the Green Machine, were the first to be heard at any game. They were followed by the peppy juniors and lively sophomores and fresh- men. Concerts at the A.C.C. and the Morris Civic Auditorium drew many W.H.S. stu- dents. Everyone enjoyed jamming to the songs by popular rock groups. However, they spent their time, Pan- thers always showed the true W.H.S. spirit. Top right. A group of undercla: football homecoming dance. Right: Sophomore.

Many W.H.S. students found employ- ment at Scottsdale Mall, the largest and most popular shopping center in the South Bend area. Other students acquired jobs close to home in the Belleville Community. No matter how big or small, jobs were a very important responsibility, especially when school grades were equally important. When it came to spending those well- earned dollars, students bought everything from stylin ' clothes to concert tickets, to other necessities. Another dollar, either extravagantly spent or diligently saved, was extremely- valuable to any W.H.S. student.

Right: Richard Lipinski and Jeff Buysse check out menu ' s in a restaurant at Scottsdalc Mall Free time for W.H.S. students was not much of a problem. Students spent their time in a wide variety of school clubs and organiza- tions. Practice for athletic events occupied many hours for numerous sports-minded stu- dents. Upperclassmen turned free time into working hours when they acquired jobs after school. No matter how they spent their free time. W.H.S. students showed pride in themselves, their school, and their community.

Outstanding Panthers In the fall of 76 a question was asked of Mr. Million, a few faculty members, counselors and students. The question was, In your opinion, who has been the most outstanding student at W.H.S. this year? Many suggestions were made as there are many commendable Panthers at W.H.S. Students were chosen for superior achievement in academics, athletics, or community service. Involvement in extracurricular activities, school clubs or functions, and community activities was a primary criterion for recommendation. These students and other ambitious Pan- thers fulfill their honor. They exhibit the traditional spirit of W.H.S. Ever Onward. v Fi«nui Above right: Jasmin Tamesis, our foreign exchange student from the Philippines, sits at home with Barb Haggenjos.

Aiding in the smok- ing and alcohol prevention programs and the blood drive they displayed true Pan- ther spirit. Seniors also enjoyed many social activ- ities throughout the year such as pizza parties, concerts, dances and sport events. Although they were the smallest class graduating, the Seniors were respected and admired. Surprisingly, this small group exhib- ited the most school spirit at the pep assemblies, leading their football team to another NIC victory.

A variety of activi- ties, from assemblies to arranging class par- ties, kept him busy throughout the day. The success of each event was deter- mined by the individual ' s participation. Clubs and organizations like the Student Council and National Honor Society became involved in community projects through entertaining in nursing homes and holding Blood and Food Drives. The leadership provided by the faculty and students helped W.H.S. through a busy year. Assemblies Unite Panthers Above: Sue Craft prepares to kick-off to the Panthers during a Senior skit in which she represents the opponent. Top right: Seniors have the privilege of standing during the assemblies, while the cheerleaders Stan cheers for the student body. Pep assemblies broke the monotony of Friday ' s class routine. A new proce- dure required everyone to sit with his homeroom in a certain place. The pep band, with its loud music, greeted the student body. The band also assisted the cheerleaders and Panther mascot with chants and cheers. Football coach, Beans VanCamp, and the designated team captains fired the students up with their enthusiastic talks about that night ' s game. Seniors performed skits satirizing the opponents. The Pantherettes performed routines to popular songs like; Boogie Fever, Movin ' , and Play that Funky Music.

In the fall this lively group performed some of their original routines for the student body at pep assemblies and dur- ing halftime at basketball games. Many hours spent in practice paid off when the girls received loud applause after each performance. Newcomers to the group included six girls and the sponsor, Mrs. E. Linetty. Money earned from selling candy and from garage and bake sales enabled the group to buy new uniforms. Pantherette officers were, kneeling: Co-captain Cindy Strzelecki; standing: Sue Marthys, Secretary; Crystal Stuckey, Co-captain; and Lisa Digirolamo, Historian.

It provided students with on-the-job training in business and professional offices. Seniors received experience for employment and advancement in their particular office careers. They earned money while they worked as clerk typ- ists, file clerks, receptionists, and stenog- raphers. The special C.O.E. class helped to improve their skills needed in their various positions. The Coordinator was Rosemary Coomes. Officers were Ann Morris — President; Nina Brown — Vice-president; Debbie Lewinski — Secretary; and Karen Bonek — Treasurer. These hard-working officers organized fund-raising activities, including candy and bake sales. Top: Ann Morris answers the complicated telephone systen the main desk at Crowe, Chizek, and Company.

Coordinator assisted students by finding jobs in the field of their interest. Students were hired on the basis of their skills and ability. The I.C.T. program opened full-time employment opportunities for some stu- dents. I.C.T. members also belonged to Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (V.I.C.A.). They sold pocket and cloth calendars as well as W.H.S. Panther key chains to fund their annual employer- employee banquet held in April for which W.H.S. was host school. Classroom activities consisted of stud- ying banking, taxes, and employee work- ing conditions. Besides a class room eval- uation, employers graded their students on the quality of their work and their individual responsibilities.

They went Christmas caroling at several hospitals a nd nursing- homes around the city. Earlier, they performed concerts at the Masonic Temple and Z. B. Falcons. At their Happy Days concert on November 4, the choir took a nostalgic look at the 50 ' s and 60 ' s. The program also included music from our own day and age. An Old Fashioned Christmas was pre- sented on December 15 and included many favorite Christmas songs. Candice Butler directed the choirs and selected the many creative themes for con- certs.

Strike Up The Band! )) The W.H.S. band raised the students ' spirits and enthusiasm at many school activities. Under the direction of Jerry Lackey and assistant director Larry Zorns, the members practiced every day to perfect each new selection that was played. The marching band played at all home football games during pre-game and half time shows. Together with the swing choir, the concert band held a Christmas concert on December 16 in our school auditorium. This year the band officers were: President, Terry Stopczynski; Vice presi- dent, Devon Swihart, and Treasurer Kevin Fye.

There ' s Spirit In Their Music The Pep and Jazz bands were also quite active this year, performing at many school functions. The Pep band performed at pep assemblies and at many of our basketball games. They accompanied the cheerlead- ers on certain cheers and greeted our players with the school song. Most of all, though, they helped bring out the Big Green spirit. The Jazz band, a smaller group than the concert band, specialized in playing Pop and Jazz music. They practiced twice a week under the supervision of Jerry Lackey. On January 29 they participated in an all-city band program entitled Jazz Sour.dsations.

The members of the string section practiced everyday in their first hour class. On November 9th the orchestra took pan in the third annual South Bend String Along. They joined with other area high school and junior high orches- tras to perform combined and separate music selections. The String Along was directed by all of the orchestra teachers of the participating schools. The solo and ensemble contest was held on February 5. In this contest the members performed alone or with a group of judges who then gave them awards according to their performance. Emily Germano, second-year teacher at W.H.S., directed the orchestra. ' ■- Everyone Helps A t Supper Any srudent who studied French, Ger- man, Latin, or Spanish was eligible to join the Language Club. Members engaged in activities such as the annual picnic at Bendix Woods and the Chili Supper. Their annual trip to Chicago was a day of shopping, eating, and see- ing a current play. They earned over $100.00 at their car wash, which enabled them to donate money to students who planned to go abroad on the Indiana University summer program. Richard Guin sponsored the group. Officers were: Monica Stankus — Presi- dent; Sue Dobrucki — Vice-president; Cheryl Goralski — Secretary; and Jackie Ragland — Treasurer. Miki Grontkowski, Lisa Schroer, Karen Kowalski, and Margaret Wlo- chowski served on the advisory board. Top: Steve Lutomski starts cleaning up after the Chili Supper on December 1 1 .

They also operated the conces- sion stands at several basketball games. Officers were: Karen Kowalski — President; Brenda Bradley — Vice-presi- dent; Margaret Konkol — Secretary; and Carl Kazmierzak — Treasurer. Pat Sell sponsored the group.

Drama Club presented their fall show, Tell Me That You Love Me Junie Moon. The play was a poignant exploration into the lives of three social misfits who had set up housekeeping together. Each had a hand- icap, but had retained the strength he- needed to maintain a fulfilling life. The show took us from the time the characters met in a hospital through their days together to the eventual death of one. Quite a change from the usual comedic fare of our annual fall shows, Junie Moon was well-received by the audience. Above: Kathy Kruszewski portrays the cruel Gregory.

Students Gain Job Experience Distributive Education Clubs of America gave students job experience in distrib- ution, marketing, sales, and retailing. For the first time underclassmen were eligible to join. During their special class hour students discussed the variety of business opportuni- ties, job training, and their own future busi- ness plans. They studied income tax and planned to assist W.H.S. students in filling out their internal revenue forms. Money-raising activities included selling candy and Panther buttons that promoted school spirit. Members also rewrote their chapter constitution this year.

Five staffers: Mary Fahey, Barb Konkol, Dan Larsen, Lea Anne Robinson, and Mike Suppinger, prepared for this job by attending the Indiana High School Journalism Institute on the I.U. campus in Bloomington from July 4-16. At the Institute the basic structure of the book was decided, including cover design, color, and theme. The individual editors designed their pages according to these guidelines. With the guidance of Mary Hintz, sponsor, members put together 176 pages of lasting memories. Top left: Sponsor, Mary Hintz, checked all before anything was sent to the printer. irk at the deadlines Top right: Dan Larsen, Editor-in-Chief, assisted anyone on the staff who needed help or advice on their section.

Stu- dents interviewed and wrote how others felt and thought about particular things, from the Junior-Senior proms being held together to the present attendance sys- tem. A special column, Voice of the Panther, allowed anyone to write in and complain, thank, or praise. Staff mem- bers worked very hard to make dead- lines. The Central Career Center printed the paper, and members distrib- uted copies throughout the school. Marilyn Fodor directed the Hatch- et. The Editor-in-Chief was Carl Kaz- mierzak, assisted by Linda Olis. Other editors were: Kathy Laskowski, Pam Wright, and Pam Krauser.

Love The Outdoors The Rifle Club, under the sponsorship of Rick Tomaszewski, competed with other area high schools in duel meets at Newman Center. The group ' s lack of Senior leader- ship resulted in an inexperienced group. The club was made up primarily of under- classmen with Doug Geehring and Jeff Rockhill being the only Seniors. Points stressed were safety and gun handling. Judy Honabach acted as scorekeeper. The Junior Waltons, affiliated with the Isaac Walton League, were sponsored by Jerry Klaybor and Gene Dziubinski. Monthly meetings were held at the Isaac Walton Lodge. Members sold ducks made from painted stones and driftwood to raise money for the group ' s activities. In the spring they distributed nearly 1,700 trees at their annual tree give-away. Officers were: Judy Kolczynski — Presi- dent; Monica Stankus — Secretary; and Mar- garet Konkol — Treasurer.

He held a press conference in the library- for the local T V. news- casters. He talked about the unse ably cold weather and the encrg;. - Later in the day a special assembly was held for the social studies department and other interested classes. During it fie talked about unemployment because of its primary interest to our students. After the speech he invited the audience to ask questions. Students who took advantage of the opportunity- asked about the B-l Bomber, the future of the Republican party, and the pay raises for politicians. Prior to Lugar ' s visit was one by ex- Dodger pitcher, Don Newcombe. on February 10. As a National Board Mem- ber of the National Alcohol Commis- sion he related the hazards of alcohol abuse.

The men who won in the Olympics were well known and thought of as heroes. This part of Greek culture carried over into our modern American culture. Ameri- cans spent millions of dollars last year watching high school, college and profes- sional athletic events. Often all three major T.V. networks covered sports events at the same time. People respected athletes not only for their physical ability, but also for their strong character and mental agility. In many sports strategy was the most impor- tant part. Now the time had come when girls were not keeping in the limits of tennis, swim- ming and volleyball, but had entered such masculine sports as basketball. Boys had invaded sports normally thought for girls only. The day might soon be here when sports would be unisex . Although high school athletics had changed throughout history, the basic pride remained. 51 Panthers Conquer Crown South Bend Washington has had a long tradition of winning football. This season ' s team did their best to keep this tradition by winning the NIC Crown. On Friday, the 10th of September, Pan- thers met their most aggressive rival, the Elkhart Central Blazers. In a terrific defen- sive struggle before 3,000 fans, the Blazers came out on top, 10-6, in the NIC opener for both. On a near-freezing night at Jackson Field the Washington Panthers, with clubs and claws flying, met the Mishawaka Cave- men. At half time the Cavemen held the lead, 14-13. It wasn ' t until the fourth quar- ter that Washington ' s offensive team finally pulled together to score 16 points. With the score tied, 21-21; and with 6:13 left in the game, the offensive line started a drive for 82 yards. Brian Kirkendoll raced 11 yards for the winning touchdown, fol- lowed by an extra point pass to Tony Doaks. Final score, 29-21; another Panther victory.

Penn took the opportunity to ruin the Panther ' s bid for a playoff game with a victory of 13-9. Next autumn Penn becomes a full-pledged NIC football member, along with LaSalle and Clay, and will then be eligible to seek the title shared by Washington and Mishawaka this year, the NIC Conference Champion- ship. Good defense played a key role in win- ning ball games, and the Panthers had one of the best defensive units in the city. Six players received the honor of being on the All-Northern Indiana Conference football team. Defensive players were: Jesse Barnes, Bruce Black, Ron Fellows, Ken Luczkowski, and David Redding. Offen- sive players were: Brian Smith and Ron Fellows. Ron Fellows was voted the most valuable player in the NIC. This season ' s 1976 Football team was under the stern leadership of Coach Beans VanCamp. He brought the sea- son ' s record to a respectable 8-2 record. Defense had traditionally been associ- ated with Washington, and coach Georgi McCullough did his best in his first year coaching the varsity defensive line. Offensive line Coach Mike Sipotz , uti- lizing wishbone blocking, guided the offensive line to produce to the best of their ability. He kept the offense going with his famous quote, Fourth Quarter Gents, fourth quarter, and Washington did play football all the way to the fourth quarter. Van ry Football 3-2 WHS 25 Ft.

With ten Seniors leaving and their posi- tions vacant, things may be tough next season. But the combined dedication of the Washington Coaching Staff, together with the natural ability and desire of the players, will prove that nothing can stop the Panther football team in ' 77.

Under the leadership of Rick Tomaszewski and Eugene Dziubinski, the frosh Green Machine brought another Freshman City Championship trophy to the West Side. The Freshman squad went through 45 consecutive, scoreless quarters. They were undefeated, untied, and unscored upon in City Conference play. This year ' s team marked the third con- secutive City Championship trophy for the Freshman football team. But Schmucker ended a 20-game, undefeated streak that had taken 3 years to build. Offensive team leader, Dave Kowalski, quarterback, helped the offense average 24 Vi points per game. Frosh defense shut- out 7 consecutive opponents under the team leadership of Rick Way. The Freshman goal this year was to be undefeated, untied, and unscored upon. This goal was close to being fulfilled. Only Schmucker stood in the way! This was the first year of coaching football for Mr. Dziubinski. We hope he will stay to help future frosh teams, along with head coach Rick Tomaszewski.

Without the killer instinct, the Cross Country team turned in a 3-6 record. Though a dim season, there were some highlights, one of which was Perry Rei- chanadter, a Freshman, who proved to be the number one runner of Coach Stall- worth ' s Silent Ones. Even with the absence of school enthusiasm, dedication in the team was never lost. During its sea- son. Cross Country featured such out- standing runners as Senior Captain Don Wilson; last year ' s M.V.P., Darwin Hilli- ard; Seniors Karl Perusich, Kevin Hen- derson, Mike Bradford, and Freshman, Bill Thrasher. Although this season was ai disappointment, next year ' s Cross Country team will consist of returning runner Rei- chanadter, Hilliard, Lee Van, White, Thrasher, Patton, Tell, and Armstrong. With these runners, newcoming stars and school support, W.H.S. could have a win-, ner. Above right: (Row 1) R. Armstrong, D. Wilson, P Reichandter. K. Perusich. (Row 2) D. Tell, B.

Youth Hurts Spikers This year ' s varsity squad was plagued with many handicaps before the season began, not the least of which was inexperi- ence. With only three returning varsity players, two being Seniors Annette Cates and Carol Burzynski, the problem was evi- dent.

The team never lacked spirit, however, and went into every match with a feeling of confidence. Most of the players felt that they did better in some of their losing efforts than in the two regular season victo- ries over North Liberty. In sectional play the team advanced into the second round after crushing North Lib- erty 5-0. The season ended there, however, as they lost the next match to the Riley squad, which later went on to win the sec- tionals. Right: Varsity Tennis team: Standing: Coach Killeen, K. Chrzan, M.

With the managers ' help, everyone worked to the best of her ability. However, there always seemed to be room for improvement. The Panther girls had tough opponents this year with Adams and Riley heading the list. For the first time the girls ' meets used the guys ' standards in which all the lengths were doubled.

They were a young, inexperienced team; W.H.S. did not have a boys ' swim team last year. Although inexperienced, Coach Sexton had faith they would develop into a winning squad. Practices were a grueling 500 yards, which strengthened legs, arms and shoul- ders; so that by the end of the season the Panthers became tough opponents. The boys worked hard to build themselves up and better the swim team. Sophomores Eric Budny and Jeff Salata led the team in points. Eric swam the 200 yard Individual Medley and Jeff swam breaststroke. Dave Ruszkowski, back- stroker and Mike Stachowski, a freestyler added a great deal to the team ' s overall efforts. Brandon Trok, the only Senior on the team, showed his skill in diving and 50 freestyle. Dave Suit and Mike Putz were the only swimmers with any previous expe- rience.

The 1976-77 winter sports program at Washington included a new sport for the girls. A girls ' basketball team was formed, and all girls were invited to try out. The actual team consisted of ten girls, two short of regulation team size. Team members were: Seniors; Anita Owens, and Carol Burzynski; Juniors; Denise Goralski, Deb- bie Taylor, Patty Kyle, Judy Kloski, Lisa Schroer, and Allison Townsend; Sopho- mores; Marylin Mosby and Debbie Ciesiel- ski; Freshmen; Kathie Lutomski, Pat Pal- icki, and Mary Ellen Lewinski who were also the managers. The coach for the new team was Susan Sipotz. Although the team was small, they showed a lot of spirit and enthusiasm. The girls played ten games, playing five area schools twice.

During the spring of last year the Wash- ington High School Cheerleaders were judged on their spirit, enthusiasm, and over-all cheerleading ability. Seven Varsity and six B-team girls were chosen, and they soon began working together, plan- ning for the upcoming sports seasons. The summer was not just a time-off period for these girls. Working at car washes, bake sales, popcorn sales, and sell- ing light bulbs were just a few of their money-making activities. The money was used for their annual trip to a cheerleading clinic. This year they attended a National Cheerleading Association Camp situated at Ball State University. There they learned new chants, cheers, and mounts. They also learned to appreciate each other, and learned to work together. For the sixth consecutive year the cheer- leaders brought home the Spirit Stick, which helped them begin school with added enthusiasm. They were able to say with pride, Hey, Look at Us! , Cheer with Us! and Support your Team! They generated this energetic spirit to the Fresh- men cheerleaders, who were elected in the fall. Beginning with the 1977 graduating class, the first-year Varsity Cheerleaders were awarded letter sweaters. Top: Freshmen Cheerleaders, (Back Row) Gail Wood, Connie Hoskins, Jane Zurat.

Blood, Sweat, and Tears Back in October coaches Evans and Horowitz anxiously awaited the upcoming wrestling season. Returning were eight experienced varsity members and a number of talented juniors and sophomores, mak- ing the largest veteran squad ever. Coach Evans believed this would be one of the most promising seasons he had ever coached. The first week of practice proved it would take a lot of hard work to make a good varsity and B team. Being one of the most coachable groups of young men, the team progressed rapidly. Up on the mat after school the wrestlers not only learned wrestling techniques, but also discipline and stamina. While students enjoyed brief vacations because of school closings, wres- tlers were braving the cold and sweating hard at practice. Right: Bruce Black prepares 2 ve on his opponent.

The Booster Club support helped the morale of the team and helped them to find satisfaction in their work. Coach Evans and Horowitz ' s greatest rewards were the improve- ment and progress in the team as a whole, and the growth and maturing of the individuals. This year ' s squad brought the Sectional Trophy to Washington.

This was the first undefeated conference team since 1955. Washington was one of the top teams in the state: they were ranked in the top ten most of the season. This year ' s team drew almost 4,000 fans to our home court for the W.H.S.-LaSalle game. Never before was our home court filled the capacity of the gym. The Panthers had some close calls of being defeated. In the Mishawaka and North Judson games, David Redding made two half-court shots just seconds before the buzzer, winning both games.

With 1:32 left in the game, our Panthers made a furious rally of ten points. The final score was 61-58 with the Panthers out on top. This year ' s basketball team was one of the best groups of young, talented men Washing- ton had ever had. Although small in height, they were one of the quickest teams in the area, and with a lot of poise. Teamwork, heart, and discipline helped this team to utilize their full potential, poise, speed, sportsmanship, and passing.

Successful Season For Frosh The Freshman basketball team had a successful season under George McCullough ' s first year of coaching. Hus- tling at practice and games helped the Frosh to have a reasonably good record of seven wins and five losses. Top scorer Timmy Turner helped the squad, along with John Parhams and Eric Brown, to keep up the Panther tradition of winning. Top: Back row: K. Donaldson. R. Way. S. Scarf oss. J. Parham. J.

Do you understand how to do numbers 1-25 of the Chemistry problems? Hey does anybody know how to do this Algebra? Sorry I can ' t go to the movies tonight; I have to start my research paper. It ' s due tomorrow. I hope we have a movie in Social Stud- ies today so I can sleep; I stayed up last night until 2:00 studying for my Latin and Biology tests. Well, I figured since Biology isn ' t until fifth hour, I could study for my test during my first four classes. This is just a small sample of what stu- dents said when talking about studying for tests and doing homework. At times, it might have seemed impossi- ble for students at W.H.S. to finish all their homework or study for two big tests on the same night. Usually the imposible became possible with such simple solutions as going to bed a little later or getting up a little earlier. Sometimes time wasn ' t the problem. It was not knowing how to do the assign- ment. This problem didn ' t stop too many students; a phone call to a friend who knew how to do the assignment usually solved the problem. And if a friend couldn ' t help, there was always the teacher who was usu- ally willing to give a further explanation the next day. Although obstacles had to be overcome, at the end of the year students at W.H.S. could say Hey Look at Us ; we studied real hard! 91 Right; Mr Peregrine talks with Robert Gondacs about the attendance problems in school. Below: Mr. Cohen and the other principals have a lot of paperwork to do besides going to meetings and talking with students. Phillip Peregrine Assistant Principal 92 Making A Better Tomorrow Trying to find way o: W.H.S., Mr. Million, principal, asked stu- dents for suggestions. In so doing. I iter! with students at lunch, attended club meetings, and mingled with students in the halls. James Cohen, Asst. principal, organized the assemblies. He also acted as Adminis- trative sponsor for student organizations. Phillip Peregrine not only concentrated on behavior and attendance problems, but also worked with the Human Relations Board and The Class Officers. The secretarial staff posted bulletins and announcements; they helped offices run smoothly.

The labs offered students a chance to learn at their own pace. The Reading Lab helped students improve their reading with the help of volunteer Tutorial Aides. P.V.E. classes also offered many opportunities in learning. Counselors helped students choose classes which would suit their future needs. They also kept students informed on when PSAT, SAT, vocational, and aptitude tests were to be given. The Librarians helped students find information in the library. Mrs. Greenwood organized a Cheer- block for the assemblies, besides spon- soring the Student Council. Right: This year counselors had to give admits to students who missed class. Mrs. Alyea writes an admit for Pete Owsia- nowski. Below: Students like Kenny Thompson often had to wait i the lobby before getting in to see their counselor.

Students in Theatre Arts worked on dramatic skills and learned the different parts of the stage. In Debate class students had to back up their views with supportive evidence. Students in Speech class gave speeches which included visual aides and time limits. Grammar went back to the basics, teaching the different parts of speech. Reading accelerators and controlled readers helped students increase their reading speeds in Developmental Read- ing. Many classes, consisting mainly of read- ing and writing, still remained favorites at W.H.S. Top nght: Students in Freshman English tead and learn about the diffetent styles and types of poetry.

From Past To Present This year all Senior Social Studies classes held a nine day session called Street Law. The classes were taught by Notre Dame Law students. The course dealt with the every day legal problems of the man on the street. Cadet Government let students learn on the job. After spending time in class, students worked with people in govern- ment-associated jobs. Students chose jobs such as firemen or policemen. Students had to keep logs of their experiences. The different Social Studies classes also included studies of the history of wars, civilizations, and politics.

Mind Over Matter High School Math reacquaimed students with the basics of adding, subtracting and multiplying, while Algebra students learned how to work v ith variables. Geomeiry dealt with the relationships between size and space. Compasses and straight edges aided in circumscribing cir- cles and finding areas. Most college bound students desired more years of math. Through Trigonome- try and Calculus, students increased their mathematical know-how. Helping students build logical minds and giving them an understanding of abstract mathematical concepts was the main goal of the Math Department.

Typing I and II helped students with future plans in business careers and served as a practical thing to know in everyday life. Data Processing introduced students to the operations of a computer and the meaning of a key punch. With the num- ber of jobs open in this field, Data Proc- essing proved to be a valuable course. Although only nine-weeks long, Busi- ness Law taught students to understand different kinds of contracts. The business department had some- thing to offer all students interested in business.

Discussions on DNA and RNA took place in Advanced Biology. Chemistry classes learned through the use of books and labs. Students worked together in finding atmospheric pressure and observing a burning candle to learn the different lab techniques. Nine-week courses in Gardening and Animal Kingdom provided students with a change of pace. Courses in the different sciences helped students understand the how and why ' s of their surroundings.

Students in Language classes sang a wide variety of songs. Students also put on skits. Stories read by students sometimes told about customs of other countries or some- times were just silly folktales. The Language Lab offered a chance for students to practice pattern drills while lis- tening to native speakers. Language students had a chance to learn about other countries in many interesting ways.

Gymnastics attracted a number of stu- dents. The balance beam, parallel bars and trampoline were just a few of the apparatuses available to the students. A large gymnasium and seven-lane pool helped students enjoy themselves, while they developed muscle coordina- tion and sportsman-like attitudes. Discussions on drug abuse, alcohol- ism, and the effects of cigarette smoking made Health classes very informative. Students also became familiar with the various systems of the body. Films, booklets, filmstrips, and chart s covered everything from nutrition to sex education.

Students learned the different techniques and stitches used in crochet, crewel, knit- ting, and needlepoint in the Needlework classes. Although the Home Economics Depart- ment offered a wide variety of classes, cooking and sewing still remained favor- ites. New to the Industrial Arts Department was Electronics. The two-year course was offered to juniors and seniors. The class began with the teaching of the basic price of electricity and continued on to the more difficult process of repairing electrical appliances. Industrial Arts also included: Drafting, Woodworking, Trade Math, and Auto Mechanics. Top Left: Mr. Zolman helps Johnnie Fleming with his project in Drafting class.

The Art Of Being Creative The Art Department at W.H.S. a vast selection of courses for students to take. Each of these courses focused on the individuality of the student. Pottery classes gave students the chance to find out how creative they really were. These classes allowed students to mold their feelings into visible things. The expansion of the darkroom was con- sidered a welcome improvement by many of the Photography students. Besides a larger working area, ten enlargers and a wall full of developing sinks were added. The Art Club displayed and sold many of the items made by students. The development of students ' artistic abilities made the Art Department a very important part of the curriculum.

The Laundresses washed the towels for the Swimming and Physical Education classes. Besides washing the towels they also mended swimsuits. The custodians kept the school clean, and kept up the school grounds. The jani- tors also set up chairs and bleachers for spe- cial occasions. Students went to the school nurse if they got sick during school. The nurse either sent them home or took care of them in her office. The Cafeteria workers came up with new ideas offering a greater variety of choices for lunch. They started a new plate lunch which consisted of hamburger, vege- table, and shake. These many different staff members helped improve W.H.S. Left: Mrs. Hughes and Anna Mae Reed wash the towels and swimsuits for Physical Education and Swimming classes. W.H.S.

But now that label has faded away. . ' . new pride in our school rose and spread among the students and overflowed into the community. Students showed pride by giving blood, working, and participating in extracurricular activities. Hey, look at us! , shouted the Seniors. We wanted the community to Jjave as much pride and respect for W.H.S. as we had for our school. As leaders of this school we left to the Juniors the knowledge of how to spread this pride. Hey, look at us! , shouted the Juniors. We will soon lead the school. We have tried hard to learn from the Seniors how to make this school the best around. We are now ready to teach the underclassmen to spread the Panther Pride. Hey, look at us! , screamed the Sopho- mores. We ' ve only been here two years. but already ideas about pride have formed. We are ready to spread these ideas through- out the community. Hey, look at us. ' , screamed the Fresh- men. We ' ve only begun. But we want a new image for W.H.S., too. We are start- ing to feel this pride and spirit the Seniors talk about. We will soon be true Panthers. 115 Seniors On Their Way The officers of the 77 Senior class were an experienced team, having held offices during their undergraduate years. With the aid of Larry Zorns, Seniors sponsored many activities, such as the annual Faculty Senior basketball game and the Homecoming dance. They also sold popcorn to raise money for the class gift, which would be left as a lasting memory of the Class of 77 . January 15th marked the date of the Senior class party. For many it would be their last get-together with fellow class- mates. The Elks Club was the site of the Junior-Senior prom. South Shore pro- vided the music, and the evening proved to be memorable for all. Wearing gowns of green and white, the W.H.S. Seniors entered the gym for the last time on June 5, 1976, Graduation Day. Upper right: David Perry was elected President and Rita Maxwell as Vice-President.

Frail, ethereal as butterflies 1 wings; Bits of bright jewels, part of you and me. Built of our thoughts so lovely and free. Each one a blessing deep in the heart. Each in experience having its start. For friendship ' s a diamond, like a glimmering star That shines through the darkness wherever you are. It fills the gray corners with life ' s golden dreams And leaves the soul brilliant in lovelier sheens. Life can hold nothing more beautiful, fair. Than friendship ' s sweet memories lingering there.

They had that special Panther pride in them that said, Hey Look at Us. They put this pride into planning their activities. The big event was the Junior- Senior prom which they arranged. May 6th was the date selected for the exciting evening held at the Elks Club in Mishawaka. Juniors looked back on their past three years at W.H.S. with a feeling of joy that this was all behind them, and they had finally become Seniors. Yet there was a feeling of sadness because their high school career was almost over Pamela Agnew Katrina Anderson Kit Ashford Amy Bajer Tim Balon John Banicki Debbie Barson Randy Bazyk Stuart Bechtel Mary Beck Laurie Bednarck Christine Bella Paul Belmarez Ken Bentkowski John Beserra Don BjorkJand DeeAnne Blasko Bonnie Boake Danny Bonczynski Bruce Bowman Geoffrey Bradley Jennifer Bradley Willy Brenner Linda Briggs Julie Brown Ola Brown Yvonne Brown Cecil Brummett Jeff Buda Vanessa Burkhart Pablo Cano Rosa Cano Mike Carver Sue Casey Mark Cencelewski Parvez Chand Olympia Chavez Tom Cherrone Donna Chwaiek Sue CiepHski Patry Cooper Ray Cwik Kevin Czarnecki Susan Dashner Pamela Dawson Tim Deka Lisa Digirolamo Richard Dombrowski Bob Dombrowski Tommie Dotson Gienn Duddleson Scott Durski Gloria Eddins Carol Erickson Ronnie Eskridge Marijo Farkas 134 Make Plans For Prom Carl Firz Vickie Fleming M; . r-.f.

Their enthusiasm and Panther spirit has strongly united them. With the help of their class sponsor Mr. Linetty, they held many fund raising activi- ties. They sold spirit shirts, sponsored a dance, and had a bake sale in efforts that made their class party a success. They anxiously awaited becoming upperclassmen and will hopefully carry on the tradition of leadership in school and in the community.

The Freshmen received a traditionally- warm welcome here at W.H.S. Any misgiv- ings they had were soon overcome. Their spirit reigned high at pep assemblies, and they were the proud winners of the spirit week contest and the owners of a fantastic freshman football team. Class sponsor, Mrs. Drapek and Presi- dent, David Randle will give their contin- ued guidance as they plan to collect many valuable memories throughout their high school years. In 1980, as a new decade dawns upon W.H.S., they will look back upon their four years with a feeling of accomplishment. Aikens, Annette Alerding. Mike Anderson. Curtis Anderson. Darry] Anderson.

The finished product of hard work and determination, hopefully brought forth for your approval. This year there had been many trials and tribulations faced by the Memory Lane staff. But with the help of our leader and advisor, Mrs. Mary Hintz, we all learned how to cope with these problems. I would not trade this experience for anything. It has made my Senior year, and hopefully yours, the best ever. The Panthers have again proven to be the pride of the West End. Hey, Look at Us! Above.

Top right: Rita Maxwell found time during her day at school tc make a phone call home Numerous Events During ' 76 Wow, what a year! The coldest winter in 200 years caused the first natural gas short- age in our country. The shortage caused factories to close, stores to turn their ther- mostats down, and gave Washington High students seven extra days of vacation. On the local scene Century Center, in downtown South Bend, was nearing com- pletion, but plans for a proposed down- town shopping mall fell through. There was not yet total peace in the world as Lebanon, Angola, Egypt, South Africa, and Spain were but a few of the countries that experienced internal prob- lems. Quebec threatened independence from Canada, and Puerto Rico was sug- gested as the 5 1 st state by President Ford. Earthquakes struck Guatemala, Italy, Turkey, and China. Meanwhile, droughts plagued Europe and the western portion of the United States. The Midwest and East did not escape cruel weather; these sections were struck by savage blizzards. Politically the world lost such personali- ties as Chinese leader Mao Tse-tung, Chi- cago Mayor Richard Daley, and Senator Phillip Harte of Michigan. The entertain- ment field suffered the loss of Freddie Prinze, Jack Cassidy, and Rosalind Russell. Incumbent President Gerald Ford lost to a Georgia peanut farmer, Jimmy Carter. Ford narrowly won the Republican nomi- nation from challenger Ronald Reagan and lost to Carter by a margin of 56 electoral votes. Legionnaires, at a convention in Phila- delphia, were hit with a loss of many mem- bers to a malady which became known as the legionnaires disease. Billionaire Howard Hughes ' will contin- ued to be a mystery, and the Nobel prizes were swept by five Americans. Scientists watched as Viking I landed on Mars and sent back earth ' s first pictures of that planet. And so another memorable chapter came to a close in the Washington Story. It was one of nostalgia for departing seniors and anticipation for advancing underclass- man. We will all remember the 1976-77 school year.

Carouse! ' ' formed the theme, and the chosen theme song was You ' ll Never Walk Alone , derived from the Rodgers and Hammer- stein classic. From eight ' til twelve o ' clock couples danced to the music of Special Edition . The class of 1978 arranged the details and took general charge of the prom. When the 6th finally arrived, an eager group of Juniors and Seniors gathered to decorate the hall in anticipation of the forthcoming event. The decorating cen- tered on a colorful miniature carousel cre- ated by the woodshop class. Mr. Larry Zorns, Senior class sponsor, crowned Carol Nalepinski queen. She was escorted by Jeff Lundquist. Vickie Fleming, escorted by Alvin Randle, was crowned princess by Mr. Terry Tulchinsky. Top: (front, left-right) Letha Boyden, Nancy Roundtrce. Jeff Lundquist, Carol Nalepinski. Robin Marrin.

Girl Sluggers A re City Champs Rainouts, unfamiliar positions, injuries and disciplinary measures all contributed to the 5-6 record of the girl ' s Softball team. This year ' s squad was a young team with only two graduating Seniors. During the season remarkable individual performances sparked a total team effort, which enabled the softball team to defeat pretourney favorites Riley and Clay. This year ' s squ won the City Championship with an 8-6 record. Annette Cates was voted Most Val- uable Player and Claire Chwalek had the best batting average. Hard work and hus- tling at practice helped the 1977 softball team bring the City Championship trophy to W.H.S. Above: Annette Cates rounds the bases in hopes of scoring a run for the Panthers.

The team found itself inexperienced with no more than four seniors in the lineup at one time. The young Panthers had their hands full, losing games in the late innings, showing the team lacked experience. The entire squad kept their heads up and showed the pride South Bend Washington is known for. After a so-so start the Panthers slumped in mid-season, but headed to the sectionals with a strong finish under their belts. The team was led by Senior co-captains Jeff Buysse and Mark Witucki, whose timely- hits drove in many runs. Junior pitching ace Matt Szymczak had many close calls for elusive no hitters. Seniors Terry Gabaree and Dominic Demeter provided leadership for the younger players. With a young team and newly acquired experience the future looked brighter.

Young Teams Show Improvement With Steve Neuliep as the only return- ing letterman, this year ' s team was one of rebuilding. Even with inexperience, the team managed to finish 2nd in the Keppler Tournament. Next year looks brighter. Five of the six varsity members will be returning. Heading the team this year were Freshman Kevin Kowalski and Junior Steve Neuliep. The other members of the squad were Senior Fred Chwalek and Jun- iors Mike Leevan, Mike Piechocki and Joe Leszczynski. Right: The 1977 Golf Team. The 1977 girls ' track team was at first an inexpe rienced squad but developed into a winning team. This was the first year that W.H.S. had an actual girls ' track team. With the help of their coach Mrs. Rose- mary Rehak, the girls showed true Panther pride on and off the track field. In the sec- tionals Jackie Parahams, a Freshman, placed second in the 100 yard dash, which quali- fied her for the regional s. The 440 yard relay team: Jackie Parahams, Marilyn Mosby, Cherone Logan and Kim Logan placed second in the sectionals, which also earned them a chance in the regional. Below: The 1977 Girls ' Track Team. Love Is More Than An Emotion The experience gained from last year ' s tennis team proved to be tr- essary ingredient in improving the team ' s record. Although a few matches were lost by a very close score, the girls forged on to place 3rd in the conference The enthusiasm the girls showed made it known to everyone that they were true WHS. Panthers.

Again Der Preist 1st Zu Hoch was the title of the 1977 skit produced by the W.H.S. German students. It dealt with the theme of a man who sells his soul to the devil for riches and fabulous prizes. Also included was a parody on game shows. With the aid of Mrs. Ruth Tulchinsky and Mr. Terry Tulchinsky, the students produced a memo- rable film. Dance for Those Who Can ' t , the theme of the Dance Marathon held to raise money for Muscular Dystrophy, was held at Washington on April 30th. Students received pledges by the hour, and the pro- ceeds went to Muscular Dystrophy. Prizes were given, and many students danced the full twelve hours. Over $1734 was raised to donate to fight the dreaded disease.

It was presented on the nights of March 25th and 26th. The pro- duction was a total success and held the audience spellbound. The story centered around the romance of a young farmgiri, Laurey and her cowboy beau Curley. The plot dealt with the old belief that true love never runs smooth. The hilarious antics of Laurey ' s friend Ado Annie and her boy- friend Will presented the audience with the lighter side of romance. The actors and orchestra worked dili- gently to make the show a success. Many long hours of rehearsal were needed to perfect each scene. The show was directed by Mrs. Butler, vocals; Mr. Good, acting; Mr. Lackey and Miss Ger- mane, orchestra. Top: Aunt Eller (Chris Dudleyj presides over an angry moment at the hamper auction.

Times Of Your Life D Sunday June 5th marked the last day of the class of 1977 ' s high school career. Marveling at how fast these past four years had flown, the Senior class could hardly realize that commencement day had arrived. Memories flooded by as Mr. Million spoke about their past accomplishments, and added his best wishes for their suc- cessful careers. Larry Laskowski, valedic- torian, and Ann Marie Haugal, salutato- rian, also praised their class ' past efforts and gave sound advice for the future. As commencement proceedings ended, many Seniors gazed at each other for the last time. Surely Washington would never forget the class of ' 77.
