While absenteeism and truancies had risen, school spirit supposedly had declined, with school pride having said to have virtually vanished. Now, in a time of changes, it ' s up to us! Absenteeism, the past two years, had risen 15% with truancy also being consistently on the incline. The students of WHS had a challenge placed before them: to bring absenteeism and truancy down to a reasonable level. It was a challenge that had to be met by each student. The Spirit of WHS was questioned in the past by many observers. Concerned citizens voicing opinions in area papers reflected that the student body hardly realized that it even had a basketball team; consequently, the student body has been chided for its lack of team support at pep rallies and poor fan attendance at athletic events. Each student had a challenge set before her or him. NOW, IT ' S UP TO US! top right It ' s up to freshmen to develop mentally and physically for 1984-their BIG year right It ' s up to sophomores to continue their part at WHS until 1983-their BIG year. ■ ] I ' ll ■! , ■•■ left: A common sight at any school in the U.S.- students passing between classes. middle left and right: It ' s up to seniors to pro- vide leadership for the underclassmen. bottom: It ' s up to juniors to prepare for 1982- their BIG year. Theme 5 1980-81 Year Of Changes At WHS 1980-1981 will be remembered by many students, teachers, and administrators as a year of transition. A new principal, a new assistant principal, and a new athletic director were assigned positions at WHS, school policies were strictly enforced, and a new athletic complex was built on the east side of the school. Mr. David Kaser, principal the previous three years at Dickinson Middle School, took over for Mr. Million, reassigned to Clay High School. Both staff and students immediately noticed the changes taking place. Comments ranging from remarks concerning hallway conditions to classroom attitudes were heard from both staff and students. The new athletic complex consisted of two soccer fields, two Softball diamonds, an all-weather track, a football field, and a baseball field. This complex was completed in the fall of the year. top right: New principal David Kaser ponders the future of WHS. right: New vice-principal Mr. Truex works diligently on the problems at WHS. 6 Opening middle right Could this be the light at the end of an empty hallway in WHS?!! left Dugouts will be one of the many features of the new baseball field Opening 7 Student Student Student Student Student Student Student Student 8 Student Life Student Life 9 It ' s All In A Days While students at WHS were certainly individuals, many events in every students ' day were similar to those of others. The day started with the grand arrival at school. Next were the hours spent in exciting morning classes. Then students broke for a guick gourmet meal in the luxurious WHS cafeteria. With this gourmet meal safely in stomach, the afternoon hours flew by until the end of school when it was off to an exciting evening at work. top right: Paul Maure and Lynn Szymczyk: examples of early-morning exuberance. right: Mrs. Drapek helps Bob Jaronik with a challenging Essay Writing assignment. bottom right: Kevin Haggenjos catches up on current events in the library. 10 General . ■sr- - .-,_ top left Vlckv Butklew lcz, Lancle Lentych, and Tina Taylor do their best to fire up the students. top right The big moment of the day for many students Leaving school, as demonstrated by Lisa Sandoval. middle left Mike Overttreet puts in one of many hours preparing the 1981 Memory Lane. middle right Ufa Stroup settles down to another period of Go eminent left Mr. Tulchlntky slugs down a quick one to begin another day at WHS General 11 e Are For some years, the students of WHS have been spoiled by the success of their sports teams. In 1980-1981, however, the student body was faced with a challenge: find the spirit to show their support for teams picked to finish in the bottom half of their respective conferences. The athletes were not let down. Students showed their support at the various events. One of the favorite new gimmicks used in assemblies was forming a tunnel to spur on the team members as they left the assembly.

That was a main Friday night objective of many students. McDonalds was a favorite hangout, especially after football games. Another of the favorite spots was an unnamed lonely country road, where students had their get- togethers. These get-togethers were popular, for often students from other schools got involved.

We need jobs! That could have been the battlecry for the 1980-1981 school year. With the hard- hitting recession in the South Bend area, students were pressed to find money to buy gas or to add to their album collections. Some students, however, did find employment. Students were found working at Burger Chef, McDonalds, Dairy Queen, and other various restaurants. Jobs were also found in lumber yards, shoe stores, and even private businesses. top: Mark Seho nlng and Eric Kuczmanskl are employed at Dairy Queen. right: Twry Brown is an employee at Burger Chef on Western Ave. 1 16 Jobs Jobs i; We Do It Our Way Students who had extra time, after the homework was done, spent their idle hours pursuing hobbies. The types of hobbies ranged from auto repair to drawing and even to bubbleblowing. Nearly every student at WHS had a hobby of one kind or another. Hobbies took students ' minds off of everyday pressures and problems. top: James Lentz, an experienced puppeteer, talks with a friend. right: Auto repair: one of the more popular hobbies at WHS. 18 Hobbies k. left: Diane Putz in a thoughtful moment as she constructs her next ' masterpiece ' . middle.

' • ' ■ ■■■■ Hobbies 19 We ' ve Got An Eye For Fashion As you looked around WHS, a variety of the latest fads could have been easily noted amongst the student body. Probably every school had its own fashion, but Washington had its own flair. Blue jeans, a traditional garb have never faded from our school ' s taste, and most students wore them with the latest concert T-shirts. Various T-shirts ranging from Journey to Styz or Heart to REO were proudly worn by students. Some students liked to add variety to their weekly wardrobes by dressing up a bit. No matter when or where one looked you could always find individuality or trends in fashion. top: Scotl Harmon listens as Mike Overstreet tells him about Terrible Ted ' s recent South Bend concert. right: Tom Zakrzewskl In a typical guy ' s garb at WHS: Fu Manchu and turtleneck. 20 Fashion top left: Jill Glee son smiles as Kevin Andryslak comments on her casual overalls outfit. • top right: Kevin Haggenjos smiles in his snazzy three-piece before the homecoming activities. left; Although most students prefer blue jeans and a t-shirt, some students like a dressier style.

Jill Gleeson and Mike Overstreet were each selected to attend Girls State and Boys State resprectively (Jill was also WHS ' s first representative to Girls Nation). Richard Liwosz was honored for his musical ability by being chosen for an international youth symphony. top: Jill Gleoton, who was WHS ' s first representative to Girl ' s Nation waves at the camera right: Mike OvwstTMt laughs when asked if he had a good time at Soy ' s State. 22 Academic Panthers ■ ' . ,  Alice SWitalski | J Karen T  rviM- Y 3k 111 I ■ Academic Panthers 23 Athletic Panthers Besides having brains, WHS also had its share of jocks. in 1980-1981 Marcus Harvell, Randy Dudeck, Kevin Andrysiak, and John Emmons all made major contributions to the football team. Connie Rothballer and Marjie LeeVan were each four-year members of the volleyball team, and Bob Jaronik and Dave Wieczorek were standouts on the baseball team. top: Marcus Harvell, a three-year starter in football, mugs it up for our photographer. right: Kevin Andrysiak, leading pass interceptor in the NIC in 1980. takes a statuatory pose. 24 Athletic Panthers % J t ■ ■ -Utargie Lee f j 12, Athletic Panthers 25 Academics demies demies demies demies demies Academics 27 To Sum It All Up The math teachers at Washington continued to teach classes such as Algebra, Geometry, and Trignometry. This variety of classes kept our math department comparable with other departments in the city. The many students planning to go to college advanced their understanding of math by taking calculus. A specialized course offered to other students is the Math lab. Constant efforts were made to offer more courses for a wider selection of math classes and alternative labs to meet the diverse needs of WHS students. top right: Am amicable Mr. Hock displays one of his warm smiles after an exhausting day of work. right: Irritable Mr. Putnam keeps a watchful eye over Ronnie Blue as he attempts to tackle an algebra equation. 28 Math Department top left A casual Mr. Sipotz relaxes while reviewing a homework assignment with his students top right: Senior Margie LeeVan gives a calculus problem her all-American try at the dreaded chalkboard. 29 Math Department Eech! Ugh! It ' s Alive! The Science department at Washington High School offered a wide variety of classes for students to choose from such as biology, chemistry, and applied life science. Also offered were various labs. Amongst these labs were bird and tree life and animal behavior. In addition, there were many movies shown and exhibitions to make the classes more interesting. top right; Mr. Klaybor stresses an important point while reviewing for a biology test. right: Doc Smith explains a complicated chemistry theory to his Advanced Chemistry class. 30 Science Department if %; ° top left Dave Nlezgodzkl adjusts his microscope to get a closer look at a specimen in chemistry class above: A group of students pay attention to an interesting lecture in their Enviromental Health Class left: Eechl Ugh!

In one class, students learned fundamental mathematics for use in marketing and distribution. Other courses taught the basics of writing and reading shorthand or instructed students how to type more quickly while making fewer errors. In accounting classes, students learned how to keep the books for various types of business. A course in business law informed students of the obligations of business contracts. The Business Department received two important additions to its collection of business machines. Students learned how to use the new word-processer, a complicated apparatus similar to a typewriter. The Mathematics, Business, and Science Departments shared ten new computers for use in a computer programming class. Cooperative Office Education (COE) and Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA) were on-the-job training opportunities in which students received credits for working at least fifteen hours a week. COE involved work in a business office, where as DECA required work in a department store. top right: Mrs. Dlmlch takes time out from a dictation lesson to give an unseen visitor a welcome smile. right: Mr. Campanello prepares for a busy day of lessons in the business office. 32 Business Department left the 1980-81 DECA members pose for a group shot in the cafeteria above The 1980-81 COE girls show off their business-like smiles which earn them many jobs top left This is one of the computers used in WHS ' s computer class. 33 Business Department Cultures Customs And Not only did this year ' s German, French, Spanish, and Latin students work toward the ability to communicate in a language much different from their own, but the students also learned about the cultures of the people who spoke those languages. After learning the grammar basics of each respective language as well as the conversational techniques, students read foreign literature, wrote letters and other papers, and sang songs customary to the people of these lands. Through learning a new and different language, students were able to understand their mother tongue better and were even able to increase their English vocabularies. The philosophy of the language department was that once students have learned to understand and appreciate a culture and a language different from their own, they are more tolerant and understanding of others.

In the P.E. classes, one participated in a wide variety of sports such as basketball, flag football, speedball and swimming, just to name a few. In the physical education classes, students learned sportsmanship and the sheer fun of involvement. top right Lorl Blkowskl struts her stuff on the uneven bars below Students participate in a girls basketball game against Clay. right Polly Szlanfucht, Kathy Dlppei and Pat VanSlager participate in a game of volleyball Physical Education 35 Reading, Writing And Research The English department at WHS provided a wide variety of classes this year. Students chose from classes such as War, Essay Writing, American Literature, and Love Means, phased according to difficulty, 1-5. In 1981 the English department offered fifty-five phase electives for Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. This year a new policy was adopted for Freshmen in which they had to take two semesters of English with no choice of electives. This change was due to the freshmen competency tests. above Russ Mattel seems lost in an interesting novel in English class. right Mrs. Drapek appears amused by someone ' s antics in her Essay Writing class. 36 English ' above Mr .

English 37 Tricks Of The Trade The Industrial Arts department at Washington High School taught such classes as Machine Processing, Metals, Woods, (including the skills of carpentry) Auto Mechanics, Small Engine Repair, and Drafting. These classes were particularly helpful to students who considered a vocation in one of these areas. top right: Mr. Zolman keeps a watchtul eye on an intruder while he comes to the rescue of a troubled drafting student. below Eddie Boom Boom Borek works diligently on a drafting project. right: Mr. Jones looks pleased with Mike McRoberts as he watches him complete a machine processing project. 38 lndustrial Arts Domestics The Home Economics department ot WHS enabled many students to prepare for future careers. There were several different types of homemaking courses offered. Learning to sew and cook were the two most popular courses. Students were also given the opportunity to learn about the many aspects of decorating homes. Cake decorating was a class that allowed many students to develop advanced foods skills. Every class prepared the students in their interest areas. top right: A group of girls work on a craft project in their home economics class below Mrs. Leatherman looks as if she is ready to go home.

Washington offered a wide variety of choirs for the students who were interested in vocal music. The Concert Choir was a group who performed various songs at a Christmas concert and at a spring concert, and combined with the other singing groups to sing at the commencement ceremony. Guys and Dolls, Washington ' s swing choir, performed outside of the school as a public relations group for the school. They also sang for a school Christmas concert, as well as for their own pop concert. This was an auditioned group who combined pop and vocal jazz music with a bit of choreography. The chorale group was open to any student interested in singing the more serious, classical music. The girls ' chorus sang all styles of music designed for women ' s voices. Mrs. Candance Butler directed, with diligence and talent, each of these groups, quite often accompanied them on the piano, and choreographed the swing choir performances. above: Members of the choir post unique expressions while singing for the Christmas Concert. right: Mrs. Butler sings her heart out during a swing choir practice.

Crowds were thrilled at football games and spectators were entertained at basketball games. The band provided many unforgettable performances with their style and appearance. Under the direction of Mr. Lackey and Mr. Laven, the band continued to be the Pride of the West Side. above Mr. Laven directs the WHS band at one of its many, morning practices. below Sherl Sutton plays first chair flute during band practice. 42 Band Maestro Please The orchestra provided audiences with a chance to hear advanced musical talent. Daily practices plus long hours of concentration at home helped the members improve their talent. The orchestra played in concerts and delivered an outstanding performance each and every time they appeared. right The 1980-1981 Orchestra poses for a mug shot during a practice above Officers of the 1980-81 orchestra are Sheryl Zwlersynski, Charissa Lancaster, and Jill Sinkewicz. Orchestra 43 A Time For Change The academic year of 1980-1981 proposed many changes. Among these changes was a new administration. Mr Kaser replaced Mr. Million as principal, and Mr. Truex replacea Mr. Peregrine as assistant principal Dr. Cohen remained in his assistant principal position. Filling the office and hallways, a new set of faces wa s always ready to serve students to the best of their capabilities.

Washington High School employed the best counselors possible. If students had problems, they relied on their counselors for guidance. Helping the class of ' 81 make wise choices for colleges and careers and aiding underclassmen in planning for their next year at Washington were the chief responsibilities of the counselors. top right: The counselors ot WHS unite for a session of group therapy to discuss their own dilemmas (Absent Miss Roben) bottom right Nurse Kronewltter lectures on the possibility of conceiving twins while Mr. Evans pays close attention. 46 Guidance And Health above: A group of students seem to be amused while they wait for individual help from their guidance counselors left Mrs. Moreno demonstrates her amicable smile which puts so many of her counselees at ease in the guidance office. 47 Guidance Talent Shines Through Washington High School offered one of the most extensive art programs within the city. Jewelry making was taught by Mr, Swafford. Mr. Weber taught photography classes to both amateurs and experienced students. Some of the more advanced photographers chose to work on the HATCHET and MEMORY LANE staffs. Mr. Pilarski taught classes in printing, drawing, and oil painting. Mr. Meunick taught students the basics of ceramics and sculpturing, Fundamental art classes were also taught, and students who thought they might like to pursue a career in the arts certainly were well prepared by the WHS art teachers. above: Jim Fischer takes a break from his drawing to flash his toothpaste bright smile. below Sandy Garza demonstrates the skill needed to produce pottery 48 Art top left: Mr. Meuninck cautiously removes clay pottery from the oven and allows it to cool above Mr. Swatford stresses an important point while reading instructions to his art class. left: Yolanda Rodrlquez props her feet and presto-automatic drawing board Art 49 All Over The World The Social Sciences Department provided students with a basic knowledge of the world. Classes ranged from Early World Civilization to U.S. History and American Government. Each course in social studies taught the students about our world from the early days of civilization up to the present day. The Social Science Classes quenched the students ' thirsts for knowledge about the ever-changing world in which they lived. top right: Dave Nlezgodzkl reflects on the days ' government lecture before the bell rings. bottom right: Short Guy Mr. Harsh discusses the 1980 presidental campaign with a U.S. History class. 50 Social Sciences left: Mr. Claus is in a rare photograph without his beloved pointer below: A group of students work on a project for their introduction to Social Studies class. 51 Social Sciences Books, Novels Knowledge Classes such as Essay Writing and American Government gave students the perfect reason to utilize the school library.

Members of the yearbook staff met first hour as a class called Publications to put the yearbook together. With the help of Mrs. Howell, the sponsor, and Mike Overstreet, the editor-in-chief, the staff made all of their deadlines and coped with all of the last minute problems which arose. There was a great sense of togetherness for, everyone was very cooperative. 56 Memory Lane top left: The remaining 1980-1981 MEMORY LANE yearbook staff poses for a picture. top right: Mr. Jim Beckham, our Josten ' s representative answers all of our questions. middle left: The yearbook sponsor.

The HATCHET, the free school newspaper, was distributed once a week. Mrs. Fodor, an English teacher, was the sponsor this year. To get the HATCHET ready for distribution, the staff had to spend many hours writing articles, getting advertisements and interviewing people. The hard working HATCHET staff kept the students informed on topics such as sports, special events and local movies. Also included in the newspaper was The Voice of the Panther. This was a column in which the students had a chance to voice their own opinions. right: Sharyl Zwlerzlnskl smiles for the camera as she works on the HATCHET. below: Smiling over their Columbia University journalism award are Mrs. Fodor and the HATCHET staff acquired last year. top The 1980-1981 HATCHET Editors are Leann Kuczmlez, Tom Zakrewski, Nancy Kloskl, Scott Stelner, and Cedrlc Harris. above The 1980-81 HATCHET photographers have their pictures taken for a change right Mrs. Fodor, the HATCHET sponsor, takes time tor a picture after meeting st| another deadline.

Members were chosen by the W.H.S. Faculty. The annual Blood Drive and Clean-Up-Day were two of the many services the club provided. Several fund raisers were also held to raise money for the annual Spring Induction Dinner.

Many students didn ' t know about the Junior Waltons. Its ' members were the defenders of soil, weeds, waters, air and wildlife. Co-spon- sored by Mr. Klaybor and Mr. Dziubinski, this organization has existed for about eight years. In fact, this Jr. Walton club is the only one of its kind in Indiana, and it is one of a very few in the entire United States. Mr. Klaybor and Mr. Dziu- binski are both members of the chapter of the Iszak Walton League here in South Bend. This year the club had strong leadership in co-presidents Jill Gleeson and Karen Bradley. Jim Nadolny held the office of Social Chair- man. Activities ranged from bake sales at Martin ' s to Christmas parties on the ground which is located behind North Village Mall. Members also tested the PH level in the stream nearby, passed out trees in the spring, and provided muscle power at the antigue show. They worked at the annual Surf Turf (and re- ceived Turf, not Surf to eat) and took trips. Anyone interested in the out-of-doors should certainly have joined this group. T h e D e f e n d e r s above Joining in the action are members Tim Moreno, Jill Gleeson, Bob Gorney, Karen Bradley, and Skip Kalmar. below: Displaying their interests is the 1980-81 Junior Walton Club Language Club This year the Language Club consisted of the French, German, Latin, and Spanish classes. The members ranged from Freshmen to Seniors. The sponsors were the teachers of these four languages: Mrs. Goiaberg, Mr. Foley, Mrs. Tulchinsky, Mr. Pikuza, and Mr. Guin. Each lan- guage had two students who represented it. They were: French-Karen Bradley and Barb Mnichowski, German- Sheri Sutton and Kim Kubisiak, Latin-Pat and Phil Stein- hoffer, and Spanish — Cathy Nalepinski and Michelle Ber- genson. The money making project this year was the annual chicken dinner. This was held on November 21 before the drama club presentation of CHARLIE. On December 13, the club went to Chicago to see a play and to shop. Afterwards, they went to a French restaurant for dinner. Picnics were also held at Bendix Woods. right Sheri Sutton is all smiles as she takes time out to represent her favorite language.

This year ' s Spirit Week was held October 6-10. Instead of decorating hallways as in past years, the homerooms were decorated. Each homeroom chose two students to represent its class. This representative was in charge of buying and designing decorations. Decorating was done during the homeroom period Monday through Thursday. The winning homerooms were announced at the pep assembly on Friday, October 10th. The winning rooms were: Seniors-Mrs. Sipotz ' room 200 Juniors-Mr. Stallworth ' s room 804 Sophomores-Mr. Tomaszewski ' s room 901 Freshmen-Mr. Harding ' s room 503 The grand champion was Mr. Stallworth ' s homeroom. Many other new ideas were tried during the week. Monday was Dress-up Day. Tuesday was Dress-down Day. Wednesday was Little Kid ' s Day. Thursday was Fifties and Sixties Day, and Friday was the traditional Panther Green and White Day. The many new ideas made it possible for more people than ever to get in- volved in Spirit Week. top left Leroy Worsham and Valerie Kioto look at Mr- Good ' s decorated homeroom. top right Cage the Lions is Mr. Horowitz class ' s theme as they received honorable mention. bottom left: The sophomores participated in decorat- ing their homeroom. bottom right Mr. and Mrs. Swaflord show school spirit as they dressed as little kids. 67 Spirit Week Football Homecoming 1980 (Above) Kim Tuttle, Tonl Koons, Jill Gleeson, Karen Tubervllle, Amy Nlemier, Karen Bradley, Nancy Kopczynskl, Sandy Wltkowtkl, Yolanda Cyra, and Mona Young comprised the 1980-1981 Football Homecoming Court. 68 Football Homecoming A beautiful autumn evening set the mood on Octo- ber tenth, as the crowd anxiously awaited the an- nouncement of the 1980-1981 Football Homecoming Queen. Amy Neimier, escorted by Kevin Haggenjos was presented with a bouquet of roses and crowned Queen by Mr. Kaser and two future Panthers. The actual Homecoming ceremonies were not, however, the only activities that week. Students had fun participating in dress-up, dress-down, fifties and sixties, little kid ' s, and green and white days. Much spirit and creativity were demonstrated by home- rooms being decorated. The annual Senior flower sale, a spirited pep assembly, and breakfast for the court were also held. To top oft the week, the Panthers took home a 21-6 Homecoming victory over the LaSalle Lions. below Dressed in their Homecoming Day finery is the 1980-1981 Foot- ball Homecoming Court. top left Mr Kaser crowns Amy Niemler Football Homecoming Queen during the halftime festivities. bottom left Ray Van Wynsberghe, Kim Tuttle, Kevin Haggenjos and Amy Niemler enjoy breakfast at A W. bottom right Kelly Bradley and Darren Stout assist Mr. Kaser in crown- ing Amy Niemler.

These activities ranged from supporting the Red Cross Blood Drive to having the members speak at feeder school on smoking for the American Cancer Society. Another activity was the Big Brother-Little Sister Program. This was where the members took feeder school children to school activities. The Student Council also participated in a canned food drive. They collected canned foods and donated them to needy families in our community. They also had many fund raising activities from which they donated the money to either the school or the community. Student Council 73 Busy Year For Thespians This year ' s Drama Club, under the tutelege of Mr. Good, undertook many endeavors during the 1980-1981 school year. First was the election of officers. These officers were Mary Sue Findley, President; Dwain Perry, Vice President; Francine Kolacz, Secretary; and Tom Zablocki, Treasurer. The second major task at hand was the performance of the hit Broadway play, HARVEY. This play dealt with a young man and his rabbit, Harvey, who, of course, only he could see. Oh well The final matter at hand was a new concept: a variety show open to the school.

The spirit and tradition proved crucial in the four games won. Against Elkhart Memorial and Michigan City Elston, the Panthers came back from deficits. Adams gave Washington a hard- fought game that the team won in the last seconds by controlling the Eagles. In the battle of the West Side, LaSalle attempted to keep pace with the Panthers, but Washington again proved that the Panthers are The Pride of the West Side by beating the Lions 21-6. The Varsity Football Squad, coached by Bob Beans Vancamp and his assistants, Pat Gullifor, Mike Sipotz, George McCullough, George Downer and Nat Pittman, had many outstanding players this year. The players that made the most tackles and assists were Junior Kevin Meert with 66 tackles and 17 assists, and Senior Carl Stopczynski with 61 tackles and 21 assists. Senior Kevin Andrysiak had 9 interceptions while Senior Randy Dudeck returned his three interceptions for a total of 63 yards. Senior David Moreno had four of the 25 fumbles recovered. On offense. Junior Dennis Winters gained 334 yards running while Kevin Andrysiak caught 16 passes for 320 yards. Every player contributed to the team ' s effort.

W i 1 The freshman football team, under the coaching direction of George Downer and first year coach, Nat Pittman, finished the year with a 3-4 record. Coach Tomaszewski retired and Coach Pittman took his place. His first year was a learning experience and he enjoyed working with the team. He coached with the Elkhart System for 16 years before coming to W.H.S. The hardest thing for him to accept was watching his son play for Elkhart Central while he was on the Panthers sideline. Coach Downer has been with the freshman team for the past three years. The best game for freshman was when they beat an undefeated Adams team by a score of 8-6. Both the offense and the defense looked exceptionally good. The team had a total of 26 players. The most noticeable was Tim Bond.

While most high school students were still enjoying their last few weeks of summer vacation, the girls volleyball team was already hard at work preparing for another season. The girls began conditioning for what they knew to be a tough season ahead. The first game pitted them against a highly favored St. Joseph ' s team. They played with teamwork and spirit. Their determination was not enough to com- bat the strength of St. Joseph ' s though. They were just outpowered. The team was dealt a devastating blow when Senior Captain Sue Gadacz injured her knee in the Elkhart Central game. She was unable to complete the season.

High expectations for 1980 were threatened when the top three returning lettermen suffered injuries that prevented them from competing. Responding to the challenge, the young Panthers simply worked hard, competed earnestly, and improved steadily. Their dedication was rewarded by improving its 1-10 record of 1979 to a respectful 6 win 9 loss record in 1980. The young Panther team was lead by senior Rusty Neilson and sophomore David Molnar. Other outstanding runners were junior Skip Kalmar, and sophomores Doug Hilliard, Jon Gonzalez and Brady Neilson. Highlights of the team ' s season were the 2nd place finish in the South Central Invitational, its 5th place finish in the Sectional meet and its 7th place finish in the Regional. This was the first WHS Cross Country team in school history to qualify for the Regional meet. With six of the seven top runners returning and with a few new runners, the future looks very promising for our Cross Country.

Dina Loyd, also suffered from pulled leg muscles causing her to miss a few games. This years Junior varsity was coached by Mr. Tulchinsky. The result was very pleasing.

Coach Kristi Clary ' s girls swim team and new coach Tom Johnson ' s boys team did not do exceptionally well. Both coaches believed that lack of participation added to the teams ' disappointing season. Neither was able to be as strong or as competitive as was hoped. One swimmer felt that the one word that described their season was accomplishment. The boys swim season is the longest of all athletics at Washington. With a new coach, there were expectations of an improved season. Even though the goal was not guite reached, the boys feel they have built a good foundation for upcoming years. In this manner, the swimmers hope to recieve the recognition due this overlooked sport. The girls team will be losing an outstanding swimmer in senior Sheryl Heynssens. But with the return of Juniors Mona Chavez, Lyndelle Egyed, Beth Beveridge and sophomores Katha Bucher and Kim Baker the girls are eagerly awaiting the next season.

After suffering heavily with the loss of six of the top varsity wrestlers, five to graduation and one because of an injury, Coach Evans predicted a .500 season. But through dedication, hard work and Panther pride the team composed a record of 5 wins and 4 losses to better the prediction of Coach Evans. The Panthers were led by 4th year captains Sanford Swanson and Greg Meszaros. They led them to a 4th place finish at the Calumet Invitational, 5th place finish at the North Central Invitational, 1st place at the Sectional and a 2nd at the Regional meet. The captains also gave confidence and advice that enabled younger Panther wrestlers like Lonnie Charles, Bruce Anderson, Brett Rankert, Tim Bonds, Doug Hilliard, Roger Rogers and Danny Clark to win 1st and 2nd places in the Sectional meet. Sanford Swanson proved why he was one of the captains as he won the 132 pound weight class in the sectionals, regionals and the semi-state meet to advance once again to the State championship meet. He ranks among the best wrestlers in the nation, boosting a 62 win, 8 loss high school career record. 104 Wrestling 1980 Blood, Sweat Greg Meszaros 177 lb. class Record: 16-3 Sectional: ' 80- ' 81 Regional: ' 80- ' 81 Northcentral: First ' 81 Calumet: 3rd ' 81 Two year letterman Edward Pfelfer 185 lb. class Record: 7-6 Sectional: ' 81 Regional ' 81 Northcentral: 3rd ' 81 Danny Clark 138 lb. class Record: 8-6 Sectional: 79- ' 81 Regional: ' 79 Northcentral: 4th ' 81 Two year letterman Wrestling port Spotlight Sanford began wrestling at Harrison school in the. 5th grade.

The team was composed of players from various schools, unlike middle school teams, whose players had played together for at least two and maybe more years. The team finished the year with a record of two wins and eight losses. The wins were over Beiger, 49-48, and Marian, 36-34. Some of the loses, however, were very close and heartbreaking. Included in these were a 45-44 loss to St. Joe and a 44-39 loss to Adams. Although the team ' s record does not reflect a successful season, the season could be categorized as successful, for these players needed to gain experience so they could handle competition at the varsity level in years to come. right: Panthers battle for the ball. bottom right: The 1980-1981 Freshman basketball team takes a break from practice. 106 B team Basketball Dedication Brings Results Sport Spotlight Brian Horvath Brian began playing basketball in the 3rd grade at Holy Family. He has tried to model himself after Dr. J. aside from following the advice of Dave Wood, a friend: His position is forward and he plans on furthering his education at Purdue and major in Power Mechanics. He would like to play in college and maybe the Pros one day. MLS: What has been your most ex- citing game? Irian: When we played Benton Horbor. I scored 31 pts. MLS: What advice would you give to an eager freshman? Irian: Work hard and practice every time you can. This years B-team worked diligently at improving themselves. They became better oriented with the basic skills that will make them smart varsity players in coming years. Coach Dave Weber felt his boys showed a great deal of dedication. Their long, hard workouts brought about satisfying results. The team reached the city championship finals by defeating a young Plymouth team. According to Coach Weber. The Teams ' most impressive performance came ag ainst their strong West Side rivals, the LaSalle Lions, in which they posted a hard fought 53-49 victory. Andrew Williams, an outstanding reoounder and promising sophomore, grabbed 13 rebounds to aid in the victory. Brian Horvath, another promising sophomore, exploded in the Benton Harbor game racking up 31 points. With such talent making up this years B-team, basketball at Washington has great possibilities. left: Andrew Williams stretches to control the tip as Todd Johnson waits for his chance to get the ball. below: Grog Fozo concentrates while trying to make a bonus point at the charity strip.

B3E w3E w ii MY GOAL for the year is a 50% average. A 10-9 record will make me very happy, as stated by Head Coach John Solmos. His Pan- thers fell short of this goal by only getting a 9-12 record. This was due mainly to the fact that the team consisted of mostly inexperi- enced players. Senior Marcus Harvell and juniors Maurice Hos- kins and Will Brown got in some varsity play last year. David Johnson and Anton Brevard were two sophomores, who, with very little prior varsity play, proved to be the back bone, at times of the team. The season consisted of ups and downs. The Panthers lost the opening game of the season to a tough St. Joe team. The first victory came against Hammond, 73-43. The Panthers lost a thriller to Clay. Clay rallied back in the fourth and won 62-59. Another thriller was lost, 72-68 at M.C. Rogers in a 2000 plus crowd with only a few from Washington. Those few made enough noise as not to let the Raiders, with star player, Dan Po- • ■X lombizio, dominate them. The game was kept within tabs by Harvell ' s high game score of 25. Anton Brevard, starting in only his second game, pulled the Panthers to dry ground at some critical points during the game. He had 15 points. An- ton Brevard (above) adds another dimension that we didn ' t have. He is an outstanding com- petitor and is very basketball wise. said Coach r :£W MW - P JBP ' F Solmos. He ' s the stabilizer on offense. David johnson (above next page), the other competi- tive sophomore has got a great future ahead of him. He will be outstanding as a senior. David ' s best game was against Laporte where he scored 14 points. The upset of South Bend, Indiana occured on the night of January 23, 1981 in the midst of over 3,000 energetic fans in the WHS gym. 108 Varsity Basketball The 2 ranked undefeated LaSalle Lions, at 9 time 12-0, came to the Panther gym ex- acting an easy win, but they could not han- dle a fired up Panther team which resulted in a close contest as neither team could get a real hot streak going. Brevard, with two free throws tied the game of 39 at the half. The third quar- ter was a see-saw battle that led to some spectacular play by the Panthers that gave them a five point lead at 54-49. but the Lions rallied back to tie the game at 66 heading into the final stanza. The battle then became a contest of wits. Lion Michael Watts hit a seven footer to give LaSalle its last lead with 2:41 left in the game. This fired up the Lion fans who began yelling their beloved winning chant, WE WON ' T BE BEAT!! WE WONT BE BEAT!! Quickly, to the dismayed eyes of hundreds of Lion fans, 6 ' 5 Marcus Harvell received a per- fect pass from Hoskins to slam dunk and bring the game within two and then Hoskins stole a Lion pass to set up the thrilling finale. The game was won by a rebound tip-in by Harvell with 0:02 remaining on the clock. Harvell ' s tip-in fol- lowed a missed shot by guard Brevard after the Panthers had successfully ran off two min- utes of the clock. As the clock ran out, hun- dreds of Panther fans poured onto the floor. Washington beat LaSalle. No not yet, LaSalle Coach Griffin called a time out with two sec- onds left and so the two seconds were put back on the clock. (Continue at right). Next year ' s team will lose only Harvell and will gain some B-teamers. This combi- nation should make next year an excellent year. Asst. Coach Nat Pittman re- marked, I expected for us to be a better ball club this year and I feel that next year will be tremendous for above: Dribbling very diligently, Maurice Hoskins goes around his Plymouth opponent to score an easy lay up. left: Marcus Harvell and David Johnson come in for sate assurance, while their teammate 34 Will Brown gets off an excellent jumper as 32 of Plymouth watches with mouth agape. below: Trailing at the half.

A Steve Se i I Mm « A TEAM WITH CHARACTER. Those are probably the best words to describe the 1980 Boys Baseball team. Picked to finish behind Adams and Elkhart Central in the NIC, Coach Rick Tomaszewski ' s team proved the sports writers wrong as they won the NIC with a 14-4 conference record (21-7 overall). The team faced adversity early in the year when starters John Libertowski and Harold Grounds were injured, Libertowski with a fractured wrist and Grounds with ligament damage to his knee. But Randy Dudeck and Kevin Meert filled in admirably, Meert hitting in the .300 ' s and Dudeck fielding flawlessly. Some of the highlights of the season were a Spring Trip to Southern Indiana and a 6-5 victory over 1 rated Elkhart Central. Steve Searfoss and Brian Bittner were picked to the All-NIC team. Bittner was also voted All-State and participated in the North-South All-Star game. Even though the team lost seven seniors, the team has enough returning expeirence to be a factor in the NIC race in 1981. 114 Boys Baseball - -- ' ■■ - .. ' X f • « r w - ..y - 1 ' . - -.

Decimated by the losses of key performers such as Anthony Davis, Ron Moore, and Darwyn Hilliard, and with star Tim Turner out with an injury, the team failed to win a meet, despite the efforts of leading scorer Perry Reichanadter.

But when the moment finally came, June 1, 1980, there were mixed feelings about leaving the life that they had become accustomed to. Some wished that they could start over. Others looked forward to their new lives, whether in marriage, the military, college, etc. In either situation, they knew that Washington High School had helped them to achieve their goals in life. top right: Senior Class President Dave Kowalski accepts his diploma from Dr. Cohen. bottom right: The Class of 80. ft 122 Graduation r r top: These three seniors are looking ever onward to whatever life has in store for them. middle left: To some people, this life is always a little crazy.

The two main characters, Nellie Forbush and Emile de Becque, played by Janet Witucki and Jeff Gehring, are in love. The play tells of the pitfalls they must evade before they are finally married.

Washington greeted a freshmen class that was a little unsure of what high school life would be like. The first week students wandered from class to class and were harrassed by upperclassmen. After one month of school, the Panther Pride was instilled into everyone, and this same pride has flourished over the years. The sophomore year brought with it the excitement of class rings, drivers ed, and the thought of being an upperclassman. During the junior year, the prom was a special evening for all who attended. The NHS traditionally held their annual induction dinner for all who had the honor to be chosen. The senior year arrived very guickly and the class was ready to accept the responsibility of becoming the leaders of the school. Essay Writing, American Government, and college applications kept students very busy, but everybody managed to make their senior year something special. As time passed on, the Class of ' 81 reflected on its high school years and thought of them as enjoyable and truly unforgettable years of their lives.

The symptoms usually began with the students wanting to get out of school as soon as they could. Next came staying up to three o ' clock in the morning and trying to finish last minute term papers. Skipping school to go spend a nice, hot day at Tower Hill, and complaining about all the homework and all those rotten teachers became a common complaint.

Their main problem this year was raising money for the Junior-Senior Prom. Some of the fund raisers this year were the selling of ribbons during the basketball season, bake sales, and car washes. With the help of Mr. Kapsa and the enthusiasm of the class officers, the prom was a success. During Spirit Week, homerooms were decorated by each class. Mr. Stallworth ' s homeroom, a junior class, won grand champ over all other grades. The Junior Class anxiously waited to lead the Classes of ' 83, ' 84, and ' 85 ' ever onward.

When they first walked through the doors last fall, there was doubt as to what life would be like at WHS. This doubt was guickly extinguished as high school life became a routine part of their daily lives. They also discovered that the classes were not guite as hard as they had at first suspected, except for the amount of homework that had to be carried home every day. Under the tutalage of their class sponsors, Mr. Peterson and Mrs. Soots, the class held many functions, such as a bake sale and a marathon race. This year helped the class of ' 84 to prepare for the next three years of life here at WHS. above The students of a freshman social studies class listen attentively as their teacher gives them new instructions.

And yet without each of the teachers at WHS, the school would have been missing one of the many cogs in the Green Machine. Each teacher had a certain responsibility to fulfill: to set a good example for the students and for each other. Many students depended on the personal advice many teachers gave. And many teachers volunteered many free hours to help out in organizations such as Yearbook, Language Club, and NHS. Others filled coaching positions on various teams. Each and everyone of the students at WHS owe all the teachers a big THANK YOU! 176 Faculty Mr Pikuza Mr. Pilarski Mr Pittman Mr. Putnam Miss Raben Mr. Rarick Mrs Rehak Mr. Roberts Mrs .

It ' s a little sad to see children play Perhaps its the future I fear, fear of losing something of the past that is very dear. Unlike loved ones, time we cannot hold. We pass by a mirror and realize it has made us old. Its just that the minutes, hours and days go by so fast. And happy times of the present soon become the past. ires, it seems just like yesterc that we were small. Then suddenly years came upon us, and it doesn ' t seem like time at all. Trying so hard to keep up with today. Memories of good times, fading away, growing up is hard to do. When you want to enjoy life ' s moments which are so few, I might always be a child at heart and from that it will be much harder to part. The seasons are changing and so am I and I must begin to tell my childhood good-bye. Faculty 177 Helping Hands Many people took little things for granted. Students at Washington High School were no exception. Services such as warm towels, clean surroundings, nourishing meals, and efficient workers were often taken for granted. This page was to say thank you to all of the people who the students could not operate without. The people of Washington appreciate all of the nice things you did and say Thank-you to all of the Helping Hands. t 1 i f n1 ikL L above: Mrs. Stump and Mrs. Tlce smile at a welcome break from their busy task of writing admits. right: Mrs. Pat and Mrs. Joseph talk during a break from sorting the faculty daily mail. bottom right: Mrs. Kolvas offers friendly bookstore help. 178 Helping Hands . . . . n S C M top left Mr. Lawshea takes a break from a hectic day ot answering all of our pleas. top The laundry ladies relax while they await the familiar buzzer to signal the towels are dry left: The cafteria ladies pose before preparing for a noisy group of students flowing through the lunch lines. bottom left Keeping WHS secure, are Mrs. Hall, Mr. Flowers, and Mrs. Turner. below Many thanks go to our hardworking aides, Mrs. Sanders, Mrs. Scherpereel, Miss May, Mrs. Davidson, and Mrs. Rafter. 179 Helping Hands Index Abel.

The question the :taff iiembers hear most often iv ? Why did you use this picture e J Why did you choose this for the theme? Hopefully some of these questions ( :an oe answered. Our theme, It ' s i: re Us, was .iiosen basically because we as students have been continuously told that WHS is not this and WHS is not that ' ' by community, i byear :hanging administration, the prob- e ns at WHS vere supposed to com- pound. We chose It ' s Up to Us as a tnerne because it ' s up tjSjir.ds stu- ients. not the faculty a nwration, to extinguish the community comments erse the adverse trdfod of ab- senteeism and tardiness. The affects ot the new administration, contrary to popular belief, were not negative and were not able immediately: a reduction in truan and EMPTY HALLS! We decided to have our senior section ii color again this year for two reasons t im- proved the quality of the book and the seniors, through a vote, decided they liked their sec- tion in color. The extra cost of this torn a Bras very substantial, but was picked up by eajjh of the seniors. Some underclassmen asked w  e did not print the entire yearbook in color, ihB as ossible; however, it would have raised the cBe of a yearbook from ten to thirty-five dollars a copy. As, it was, any senior purchasing a yearbook was ex- pected to pay an extra four dollars per copy As Editor-in-Chief of the MEMORY LANE, I had the opportunity to work with a terrific group of people When we chose our staff this year, we looked main- ly for responsible people that worked well under pressure. And certainly our super section editors. Kathy, Yolanda, Lyndelle, Cedric, Tammy, Alice, Mary, Jill, Julie, Lori, Kimmie, and Johanna, lived up to these expectations. There were, however, many others who put in hard hours for our book. Among these were Sherry, Kathy. Sue, Carol. Leslie, Doug. Scott. Irene, Ronnie, Cheryl, Mary. Sherri, Kenny. Chris, Terri, Ka- ren. Margie, Debbie, Leann. Jacki, Scott, Lisa, Brenda, Lori, Rolando. Kathy, Sue, Karri, Brenda. Lori, and Peggy. Oh yeah, Mrs. Howell also helped a little bit. We tried to produce a book that would hold at least one special memory for everyone. We knew we could not please everyone, but we sure as heck tried. Mike Overstreet.
