Sometimes it ' s just be- cause of a West Side reputation, but most of the time it ' s because peo- ple really don ' t know what we are made of. Improving our records and having some of the best faculty members at WHS, our students have come a long way and are achieving many goals for themselves. The favorite pass-times during school were the Panthers ' famous pep assemblies. Everyone showed the Green Machine ' s spirit and it carried over to that night ' s game. Our Panther football team was vic- torious after our first pep assembly over the Adam ' s Eagles 29-19. Chet Ciesielski was the highlight of the game scoring three touchdowns. Another fall sport in the prime was the girls ' cross-country team. They were runners-up in the Culver Mili- tary Academy invitational and were also runners-up at New Prairie, bringing home trophies from both places. Now as another school year begins more memories are to be shared and put away to look back on. The hear- ing of alarm clocks was just the be- ginning and plenty more is in store. There were the long lectures which we never thought we would live through and the big tests and pop quizes that always surprised us. For some of us it was a whole new atmo- sphere and for others it was just an- other year in Panther Land. Antoine, What ' s up? i The new cheerleaders show their famous pyramid. Breaking The Mold Opening With Style Summer fun The last school bell rang and the last final exam was taken. Every- one ' s favorite summer months be- came known once again. The typical summer sports — beaches, the East Race, and movie theatre ' s, along with new sites — consumed every- one ' s spare time. One new site that opened in June was the Stanley Coveleski Regional stadium. South Bend had been a charter member of two professional baseball leagues: The Central League, founded in 1903, and The All American Girls Professional Base- ball League, organized in 1942. Now the Chicago White Sox, of Baseball ' s American League, announced a play- er development contract with the South Bend based franchise. This stadium also hosted the 1987 section- al games on August 1. The teams competing in sectional play were South Bend ' s Post 50 and 357, Bris- tol Post 143 and Michigan City Post 37. During July and August, two events highlighted the area. One was the 4-H fair which once again had many Panther participants. Doug Knowlton took first place with his geese and Robby Miller took third place with his sheep. Another partic- ipant was Heather Woods. She en- tered her drawing depicting nature and architecture. She was a division eight champion and a reserved grand champion over-all in the county fair out of all divisions. This got her an entry to the State Fair where she re- ceived a red ribbon for second place. The 4-H fair also set aside a special day just for the International Sum- mer Special Olympic athletes. Everyone knew this summer was filled with excitement as South Bend hosted many special events. With the new Coveleski Stadium, the 4-H fair, International Special Olympics, the East Race, and the variety of camps students participated in, a dull moment was never found.

S- ' ' Breaking The Mold rj Summer Pages I A time for heroes The International Summer Special Olympic Games were athletic events where everyone wins. On both sides of the field. On both sides of the score. It was an event where you do more than worry about the outcome or watch the clock. This event brought in some 4,500 Special Olympians from 60 countries and 50 states along with 10,000 fam- ily and friends. With the ages rang- ing from 10-80 years old, a minimum of 15,000 volunteers were needed. The Special Olympics was brought to South Bend through the vision and dedication of Bill Locke. His son Garry Locke was a Special Olympian who lit the torch for the opening cer- emonies saying, This one ' s for you dad. Bill Locke died before seeing this event come to South Bend, but his family celebrated all the victori- ous moments with their son. Celebrity supporters included Ar- nold Sch warzenegger, Opra Wrinfry, and Don Johnson in addition to the Kennedy and Sriver families. From Washington were the DECA group, and the cheerleaders who performed for the Sports Spectacular on Wednesday night. f Coach Ski registers Shawn Huffine to begin work at the Special Olympics.

To make such memories, much responsibility is required. The class of 88 real- ized this in their planning and managing of the 1987 prom. Mr. and Mrs. Swintz, the class sponsers, worked together with the class officers to start the prom off in the right direction. The offi- cers in turn guided the prom com- mittee. Decorations were put up the morning of the prom, May 1. Bal- loons and More provided the arch which the couples walked through and was also the background for the pictures taken by McDonald Studio. When the evening approached. the committee was rewarded as couples enjoyed themselves. The music of This End Up livened the concourse of the ACC where ev- eryone danced the night away. Re- freshments were provided by HERO which also helped with ca- tering. Then the moment everyone waited for. After all of the votes were counted, royalty was named. Angle Green and Beth Lang walked away with their crowns followed by Scott Peregrine and Doug Knowlton who took the sceptors as king and prince. A thank you is extended out to each person for their contribution to the prom. May 1, 1987, is truly a night to remember. Flowers $23.00 Securitv $80.00 Ice, Punch, Cookie trays.

The day we had prepared for four years had arrived: Graduation. No more rushing to class before the bell rings or gathering in the halls to talk with our friends. It ' s time for us to go our separate ways. Some of us going right in to the working world, others going off to college to further their education. The friends and memories that we made at Washington High School we will never forget, but for all of us there are many more friends and many more memories that have to be made.

Though the grandest celebration was probably held in Philadelphia, the city of the birth of the Constitution, South Bend still celebrated with the renaming of Jefferson Boulevard to Constitution Boulevard. There were various other programs including one at Century Center. Swing choirs from Washington and Clay high schools sang We the People fol- lowed by recently naturalized citi- zens and two Washington students reading the entire constitution for the audience. Other local celebra- tions included a Dolly Madison din- ner with everyone dressed in 1700 ' s attire. These celebrations brought appreciation for the U.S. Constitu- tion. Even on a wet and dreary day this fire hydrant commerates the constitution. A replica of an old printing press at Century Center displays the Preamble to the Constitu- tion. ► 14 Breaking The Mold Mini-Mag Insure domestic More than just a trip This past summer Richard Koons and Anjonette Cornelius experienced a trip that many of us would never dream of. They spent 28 days travel- ing Europe with the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp International Tour. The BLFAC is a camp in Twin Lakes, Michigan, for students with musical talent. They tour Europe annually, taking a total of about 63 choir, band and orchestra members. Anjonette and Richard were cho- sen to participate in the tour after they were recommended by Mrs. Nankes, WHS choir director, and had auditioned for camp director Mr. Donahue. When the letters of accep- tance were received Anjonette said, I was ecstatic! Yet, the money for the trip still had to be earned. A $300 music scholarship helped ease the trouble of raising the necessary funds. The choir practiced from N ovem- ber, 1986, to June, 1987. Excitement continued to build until finally their day of arrival in West Germany. The concert itinerary included nine towns in West Germany, the Nether- lands and Belgium, performing in each town. Some people might think that singing would be an easy task, but it turned out to be quite the contrary for the choir as the concerts piled up. They encountered three concerts in one day, each with an average length of about an hour and fifteen minutes. Along the way the choir frequently stopped at small churches and held mini-concerts . Of all the perfor- mances, the most challenging was when the tour went to a local pub. The reaction of the director was, If you can sing in there, you can sing anywhere. The choir had a reper- toire of 10 or 11 pieces and performed close to 15 concerts, not counting the mini-concerts. the BLFAC participants were housed by both rich and poor fam- ilies. Through them the European lifestyles and cultures were experi- enced. Over all the traveling, sight seeing, and concerts, Anjonette val- ues the chance to have families in Europe. She said, Pretty soon I ' m going to a have a baby brother and I won ' t know what he looks like, be- cause he ' ll be overseas. The tour turned out to be more than a trip, it was an experience to last a life time. Anjonette Cornelius enjoys her time in Europe. 4 Scratching, biting and screaming makes a person think of a fight, but it was just junior and senior girls in a wild game of Powder Puff football. The junior girls started the game with the first possession but turned the ball over at the seniors ' ten yard line. On the seniors ' second down, quarterback Julia Zavala dropped bac k into the end zone where Bridget These girls wouldn ' t even stop after someone Pajakowski scored the juniors ' first points on a touchback. After putting those first two points on the board, the junior girls couldn ' t be stopped. Heather Woods broke on the sideline for a T.D. and Shawn Huffine went up the middle to score the girls ' other 14 points. The game ended with a dramatic shut-out for the seniors with a 16-0 score, had their flag! ♦ By invitation only The Olympics is a dream that some athletes only hope to see, but this summer Cindy Stallworth had a chance to train at the Jr. Olympics Training camp in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The program focused on finding top track athletes from around the country. Cindy was cho- sen as one of the two delegates from Indiana. Along with the honor of at- tending the program, a group of girls, including Cindy, were interviewed by USA Today as being eligible for the Olympics. Another outstanding athlete at Washington is Charles Martin who attended Five Star Camp in Pitts- burg, Pennsylvania. That program is On the evening of September 11, 1987, School Field, closed for two seasons for reconstruction, was opened for school events once more.

The teams had a total of two to three games a day with a practice at the beginning of the day. Charles played on the Kansas team and his team finished the week with a 9-2 record. It seems that our Washington stu- dents are excelling more each year, and hopefully more invitations will come. •jiifx ' mmcim maamr l V ' north and south stands were rebuilt.

The real celebra- tion came that evening as Washing- ton defeated Adams, 29-19! ? 16 Breaking The Mold Mini Mag There ' s been some big changes made in the South Bend Community School Corporation in the past year and one of them is a new acting su- perintendent, Dr. Monte Sriver. He ' s been in South Bend for years as a teacher, principal, assistant superin- tendent and has finally made it up to the head desk. He looks at his position as an op- portunity to lead. His job is defi- nitely not an easy one, but he consid- ers the toughest part to be, giving everyone the time and attention they need. When asked about the future of the schools he sounds extremely pos- itive. Improvement is his key word in describing the direction we are headed. He believes in building bet- ter coordination, enhancing the pub- lic image, and building on the posi- tive side of the schools. Part of this positive side is our best kept secret of all the exciting programs the cor- poration has going. School is more than sitting at a desk and studying from books. Schools must be about addressing the real needs that kids have. Helping to make a smoother transition from high school to college or the work world is one of his con- cerns. He noticed that schools have not really changed for decades and there should be some adjustments made to relate to the needs of kids today. Obviously helping kids cope with school and the real world is Dr. Sriver ' s main priority. 4k Dr. Monte Sriver, acting superintendent relaxes at his deslc.

By Invitation Only Mini Mag 17 An art in itself Some people consider graffiti to be scribbling on the wall, but to many it is much more than that. It can be very artistic and useful. We have two talented graffiti artists here at WHS, seniors David Carrillo and Jeff Ban- dera. David says that he ' s been draw- ing graffiti for 3 years and he got started through a friend. David and Jeff used their skills to draw some signs for the homecoming spirit week and the results were impressive. Da- vid says, It ' s just a way to show my talent , and even though some frown on graffati, David shows that it ' s an art in itself. David Carrillo poses with his drawing made for spirit week. I On the ice When a hockey game is men- tioned, a picture of rowdy, blood- thirsty guys on ice skates appears in most minds. Although this is partial- ly true, there is much more to the sport than slamming each other down on a sheet of ice. Two WHS students, Aaron Budny and Paul Gonzales have found enjoy- ment in hockey. Aaron, a sophomore, has been involved in playing hockey for 9 years, and says he got his inspi- ration to play by watching his older brother. He started playing in the Irish Youth Hockey League, and moved up to the High School Hockey League this year. Aaron plays for the Adam ' s team because there is no WHS team, and they were ranked 3rd in the state last year. Aaron said action is the best part of the game, and hopefully he will be able to continue in the action for years to come. Aaron Budny moves in on the action from his wing position 18 Breaking The Mold Mini Mag The new team on the block A new tradition of WHS girls ' soc- cer was started this year. With the persuasion of coach Steve Crawford, a small group of underclassmen were rounded up and began practicing this fall.

The New Team On The Block -f q Mini Mag 1 C Getting down to the studieS Academic work is a very important part of our school life. Some students may be involved in sports or other school related activities but the one thing we all have in common is our studies. It is the teacher ' s job to make sure his or her students are pushed to do the best that they can. This is espe- cially true in English. A lot of outside class work is required. Many times we find ourself curled up with one of the many novels or short stories that have to be read, or staying up past midnight writing our essays that are due the next morning, dreaming about the lines of poetry we have to memorize for tomorrow or practicing our five minute speech in front of the mirror. Knowledge of grammar is also essential for all students wheth- er it is used in college or during a job interview. Obviously, all of the extra work done in English classes will help in our daily lives no matter what we pursue in the future. Students are attentive while Mrs. Richardson is lec- turing. A Taking time out to smile. Tom Gooley discovers the answer. i QQ Breaking The Mold AZi English A thesis must be deriveD Whether it be during the junior or senior year, each of us has been put through the same form of torture: the English research paper. First, the booics are read, secondary sources are found, seemingly thousands of notecards are written, and from all of this a thesis must be derived. This one sentence is drawn out into ten pages of supportive information, and footnotes and a bibli- ography are added. For some of us with- out secretarial skills, typing may be the most tedious part. Once the paper is finished and handed in, a wave of relief rolls over everyone involved (except the teacher, who still has to grade all of them). Although writing the research paper does not seem to be worth the effort, in the long run, the hard work pays off We sharpen our reading and writing skills, and gain experience at doing re- search. It would be devastating to go on to college, where responsibility and wise use of time are essential, without having written such a paper. Steve Ross and Charles Martin diligently look up information for their research papers. 4 Take them notes Shelly Tomsits, Iris Reed. Dawn .Swope. and John Bykowski! A Leticia Williams proudly presents her paper with a sigh of relief to Mr. Foley. Breaking The Mold q A Thesis Must Be Derived O A play on wordS It is probably impossible to gradu- ate from high school without getting some exposure to the works of Shakespeare. If nothing else, you moaned when a copy of Romeo and Juliet was placed on your desk. More than likely, though, once you gave it a chance you found yourself walking through the halls of WHS quoting Romeo, Macbeth, Hamlet or any of the many other famous Shakespear- ean characters which have haunted English rooms for generations. Of course, Shakespeare is not the only worthy playwright. The Cruci- ble and Death of a Salesman by Ar- thur Miller and The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee are read every year. Each just as respected as the others. Acting plays out in class gives stu- dents a better chance to participate. This also helps each student deter- mine if he has any thespian talent which he should pursue. So, the next time a teacher sets a play on your desk, don ' t get upset. It will be enter- taining as well as academically ful- filling. Gary Lathion is on the war path. Romeo (Toby Boyer) expresses his love to Juliet (Mandy Mell) in the balcony scene.

I Q Breaking The Mold Z4 English A closer look at biologY Biology is the general study of liv- ing tilings and how they interact with one another in nature. Obvious- ly, this topic is very broad and incor- porates many more specific aspects. Washington is lucky enough to have several classes in these more specific areas, rather than simply first-year biology. Anatomy, the first of these special- ized classes, is the study of the struc- ture of the body. It not only deals with the names of bones, but with how every tissue in the body works together. Aquatic biology, on the other hand, goes in depth on the study of marine life. The students learn taxi- dermy, which is the art of stuffing animals so that they appear lifelike. Of course, in aquatic biology they stuff fish. Wildlife deals with the naming of over 100 trees and 60 birds. The stu- dents often take visits to nature cen- ters here in South Bend, to get a good look at the natural environment. Lastly, in an advanced biology class the students get a more detailed education on living things. They lat- er are able to dissect pregnant cats to look at an example of the internal organs. Each of these classes contributes to the broadened realm of students ' understanding on nature. With the excellent teaching, they prove to be an important part of the WHS sci- ence department. 4k Mr. Klaybor ' s second hour wild life class gathers for a picture. i Mr. Horwitz explains the DNA molecule to Mima Huitzil, Chris Corthier, and Andrea Hernandez Breaking The Mold A Closer Look At Biology 25 Lisbs of tomorrow In today ' s modern world the pro- ductivity in technology is growing dramatically due to expanding re- search. In these times, use of com- puters and advanced technological equipment is almost mandatory for students to obtain the skills which will enable them to undertake future plans. In hopes of attracting more stu- dents to the science department, plans were made between 1985 and 1986 to order new, updated lab equipment. Its arrival in the spring of 1987 aroused much interest and curiosity among the students. This years ' classes are the first to use the expensive, modern equipment. which includes such things as elec- trostatics, optics and nuclear physics systems, and interactive computer software which may be interfaced with other equipment such as the eight new airtracks. The new chemis- try equipment includes electronic meters, toxic fume hoods, electronic analytical balances, and centrifuges. It has proved to be a worth-while investment by providing the stu- dents with a better understanding of the problems, and making lab experi- ments much more enjoyable. In this way, the students are better prepared for the challenges which will be placed before them at the universi- ties.

Breaking The Mold rr Labs Of Tomorrow A I ' Entertainment leads to learninG Cartoons and movies are not only a means of enjoyment anymore, but a means of learning and understand- ing. Some government teachers use political cartoons to help students comprehend more and make it easier to understand what ' s being taught. Students take the cartoons from the newspaper and analyze them to what is happening in today ' s world. In this way, students can voice their own opinions about politics. In addition, the use of movies and filmstrips in social studies classes helps students expand on what is be- ing taught. For example, it is much easier and more entertaining to watch a movie about World War II than to read about it in the dry lan- guage of a text book. Through these entertainment programs class be- comes more interesting to the stu- dents and they become more eager to grow academically. « Heather Woods explains her political car- toon to the class.

All too often stu- dents stumble out amazed at how one person could lecture for 45 minutes straight and yet only a few words or sentences were retained. When viewing world problems there is a dif- ferent approach taken. An hour of lecturing wouldn ' t teach as much as a mock murder trial or group discussions on discrimi- nation, which was the type of teaching method used in the Current Problems class. Even though the class is deemed current problems , the prob- lem itself wasn ' t the main topic, but rather teaching students how to tell whether or not it really was a problem, and from that point, how it could be dealt with. At times the class was frantic and loud with everyone wanting to voice an opinion. Yet, it became more than a place to memorize, it became a place to learn.

Your first instinct is to slide down in your desii, bide behind the person in front of you and hope the teacher doesn ' t notice you. Unfortu- nately, just the opposite happens and you are the first one to be called on. Math teachers often use the board as a way for encouraging student par- ticipation.

Washington offers a range from regu- lar to advanced classes, along with computer programing, to keep up with society ' s continually expanding knowledge in this field. Students will use the skills learned in these classes throughout their lives. In today ' s world, computers are a necessity to organize items whether they are personal or business orient- ed. In response to this need for com- puter literacy, Washington is contin- ually expanding it ' s computer classes to train students in the latest pro- gramming techniques. Algebra, geometry, trig and calcu- lus also help students prepare for their future. The instruction provid- ed in these classes offers useful mate- rial not only for math majors, but also for some everyday applications.

Intensive Office Lab is a special program in the business department. lOL is a two period class which gives students the feel of real office proce- dures. The class works on actual situ- ations from local businesses such as South Bend Medical Foundation and Teachers Credit Union. The students rotate jobs as managers, supply clerks, and secretaries. lOL is a fabu- lous opportunity for WHS students to get a head start on the working world.

My long conviction of worthlessness builds strong walls. The nearer you approach to me the blinder I may strike back. I fight against the very thing I cry out for, But I am told that love is stronger than strong walls. In this lies my hope. My only hope. Who am I, you may wonder. I am someone you know very well — am a hurting member of your fam- iiy, I am the person sitting beside you in this room, I am every person you meet on the street. Please don ' t believe my mask.

Well, here is your chance to find out. Washington ' s foreign language department offers courses in French, Spanish, Latin, and Ger- man. Not only are the basic me- chanics of the language taught, but we get a glimpse into the lifestyles and culture of their homelands. Learning a foreign language not only teaches a second language but we also learn much more about our own English language. By anal yz- ing sentence structure for transla- tion, we learn many of the detailed parts of English grammar. Also, much of English is derived from Latin. Knowing and understanding Latin roots expands our English vo- cabulary. Undoubtly, learning a foreign language expands our knowledge, not only of other languages, but also of our own language and the cultures of the whole world around us.

The program includ- ed Introduction to Marketing, Small Business Ownership, and Marketing Cooperative Educa- tion. Home Economics Related Occupations (HERO) prepares students for various home ec careers. They learn such topics as balancing a checking ac- count, writing checks, and sani- tation in the food services. For a fund raiser, cookies are baked and sold on Fridays. Industrial Cooperative Training (ICT) prepares stu- dents for occupations in indus- try and the various trades. Cooperative Office Education (COE) trains students pursuing careers in accounting, comput- ers, secretarial work, and data processing.

Working Towards The Future Breaking The Mold 41 Tools for livinG Home Economics is more than just cooking and sewing When a person thinks of Home Ec, usually the picture that comes to mind is one of a bunch of girls in aprons. Well, in addition to male participation, the class does more than bake cookies. As Mrs. Leather- man puts it, Home Economics is more than just cooking and sewing. It should be thought of as a tool for our everyday lives. A basic Home Ec class teaches a student about match- ing daily attire, nutrition, and money management, besides cooking and sewing. Other classes that can be taken range from family relations, ad- vanced economics, clothing and tex- tiles, food and nutrition, child devel- opment, and parenting. In these classes, students can broaden their creative abilities, which can lead to very successful careers. If a student is considering going into the field of home economics, HERO is an on-the-job-training course in which a student works a minimum of 15 hours a week in his chosen career environment re lated to home economics. All of these classes offer a great opportunity for WHS students to broaden their talents while getting high school credits.

Unfortu- nately, the majority of the people who walk the earth today have not quite achieved this ideal physique. For this reason, three classes are offered at WHS. These three classes are weight training, physi- cal education, and health. Each class teaches a different aspect of the body, but all three stress the same fact: you will feel better about yourself and your life if you have a healthy body. Grant- ed, taking these classes will not make your life perfect, but they can definitely help you gain a more optimistic outlook on life, through a healthy body. A Breaking The Mold 4b Phys.

Breaking The Mold j rj Learning About Muscles Not simply ArT Well known artists such as Pi- casso, Rembrant, and Norman Rockwell each developed an ex- quisite style all their own. Each used different mediums and tools to produce art that are considered masterpieces. Of course, art is not simply painting. A great variety of such subjects is taught in the WHS art classes including ink and pencil drawings, prints, ceramics, and photography, to name a few. Each of these topics is an art in itself Washington is filled with stu- dents striving to become the well- known artists of the future by learning to develop their own style of art through the mastery of basic techniques. Mr. Meunick, Mr. Weber, and Mr. Pilarski teach these basic techniques and work to bring out the true artist in all of us. They help the students probe their inner-selves to bring out the emotions and creativity required to bring art to life. Students work long, hard hours on their projects, always looking for ways to en- hance a piece of art. This year, WHS students are proving their abilities by drawing a mural in the school ' s cafeteria. Not all of us have hidden artis- tic talents, but there is only one way to find out. Take an art class and maybe you ' ll turn out to be the Picasso or Rembrant of the fu- ture.

OU Breaking The Mold Erin Albert and Letaii Thompson move to the front of the band to start the music. w Check out our melody Being in a high school band in- volves more skill than knowing how to blow into an instrument to pro- duce a sound. In order to play an instrument well, tone quality, articu- lation and dynamic control must be mastered. This in itself is difficult, but then to take the instrument out- side and march while playing can be quite a sight. It is the job of each band member to learn proper march- ing form, to memorize the routines and to memorize the music. Learning the routines takes hours of practice. Band members are at school three weeks before school starts in August, rehearsing for hours each day, under the direction of drum majors Erin Albert and Letari Thompson. Rou- tines are not simply straight lines, but intricate formations involving obliques and arches. Even the te- dious task of standing at attention without twitching is a chore. When the show is finally completed it is performed at football games and the marching band contest. Once football season is over, the band comes back indoors for concert band. During this time the competi- tion rises as band members tryout for chair placement. Numerous concerts are given throughout the school year, includ- ing the Christmas concert, spring concert, and Lollipop Concert where awards are given such as Biggest Flirt and ' ' Cutest Couple . The se- lection and performance of all the music played takes much patience and dedication on the part of di rec- tor Mr. Grayling Hawkins and assis- tant Mr. Richard VanderHagen. Being a part of the Washington High School band shows true skill and devotion. Music talents can also be useful in later years. Many people will look back on their high school years and wish they had taken ad- vantage of the great opportunities which band offers. « Ken Wozniak keeps a steady tempo on the bass drum. 4The flute section follows along waiting for their part.

The perfor- mance was held in the Great Hall along with the lUSB choir and the South Bend Symphony. They also appeared in the televised Kid ' s Sake special featuring area high school musical groups. Other perfor- mances include concerts at the Re- gency Place, American Legion Hall and the best one yet was for the lUSB staff In addition to concert choir events, the Swing Choir performs the Guys and Dolls annual concert and later solos are performed in competition with other schools. Singers such as Letari Thompson and James DeCocq have already been selected as two of the twenty members of the Indiana All State Honors Choir. Being in the WHS choir takes ded- ication and hours of practice. They are at school every morning at 6:40 a.m. for rehearsal, and carry out a busy schedule of concerts, especially during the Christmas season. These young people deserve a thank you for all of the service they have given to the school and to the entire community. 54 ,The 1987-88 Swing Choir.

It is offered through the South Bend Community School Cor- poration and the St. Joe County Job Training Program. The class, which is for 9th and 10th graders, teaches students skills to get and keep part-time summer jobs, and to be a success in school. Thirty students of each grade qualify for the Bridge Project according to program guidelines. Students go on many field trips to learn about the business community, and have guest speakers on multiple topics. The Bridge Project is a national experiment and is only one of five in the entire nation. The other loca- tions are in California, Washington, Connecticut, and Michigan. This is just another example of how Washington is helping students to make the best of their high school careers and to successfully plan for their futures.

A Many years of thankful service Helping people is what longtime WHS librarian, Miss Hunsberger likes the most about her job. During her years at Washington High School she has seen many changes in the interests of youths. Miss Hunsberger also feels that the library has become more open mind- ed about the materials it acquires. Washington has never experienced a censorship problem and Miss Huns- berger firmly believes this is one of the reasons the library has main- tained its success in the goal of help- ing people. Besides her ready willingness to help, Miss Hunsberger should also be recognized for her 40 years of library service at Washington. Miss Huns- berger will be greatly missed as she will be retiring this year. Library Para-Professional, Mrs. Tafelski thinks the contact she re- ceives with students is just great! Mrs. Tafelski loves reading and en- joys helping people select what to read. She really likes her job and confesses that it ' s never dull or bor- ing.

Library [Zn Breaking The Mold ' Running the systeM. We hear so much about the stu- dents, teachers, and administration, but we can ' t forget all of the people behind the scenes. Walking in on our cafeteria cooks, a person would see a group of moms hard at work preparing lunch for hundreds of children. Nu- trition and a balanced meal are the focus of the lunch menu, but a few hot cookies and sweets make their way in too. Without these women preparing and serving lunch, there would be a lot of hungry, grouchy students and teachers walking the halls. Moving out of the cafe and walking down the hall, a person may bump into one of our custodians. The cus- todial crew can be seen at their best right after a pep assembly, when they clean up the cluttered gym in a matter of hours. Of course, this is not even mentioning all of the hours spent every day cleaning the halls, classrooms, and bathrooms. At first mention of the head of- fice the principals and counselors are thought of. Yet, a vital part of running the office is our secretaries. Whether making an announcement or taking a call from a parent or any other part of the enormous job of or- ganization, the secretaries are a vital part of keeping Washington running. What happens when a problem oc- curs? A quick beep on the P. A. and the security is on the scene. Like the sheriff of the town, order is brought when our security walks the halls. There is no way that WHS would run smoothly without the cooks, cus- todians, secretaries and security. We must learn not to take these people and their devotion for granted. zaft Custodial staff (left to right): Vic Pine, Henry Nye, Melton Sanders, Mike Smyslo, Pennycuff. James Fozo.

After 5 years of coaching Mr. Dziubinski turned the team over to the capable hands of former assistant coach, Jenny Maenhout, and with eight incoming freshmen the team began to develope a new style. A new assistant, Phil Burliawiecz, was taken on, and the long hard practices began. Various people were tried at different positions. Finally, a strong defense was produced. This defense was proved with the 7-3 win against Adams, and also with the defeats against Clay and New Prarie with scores of 14-6 and 8-2 respectively. The awards given out at the Spring Sports Banquet went to: Heather Woods ' for Most Im- proved Player; Becky Grouchowolski, for Sportsman- ship; and Shawn Huffine, for Most Valuable Player. Shawn also had the highest batting av- erage and made the first All Conference Team. With a little more time, Coach Maenhout may just lead the Lady Panthers to a champi- onship title.

Those who stick with the team go to the diamond to hit, field, and throw baseballs, run and do more drills and exercises. This is the team which won the 1987 Northern Indiana Conference title with an 11-2 record. Those who played a big role for the team were Kurt Bering with a 9-0 record with a 2.38 ERA and 97 strikeouts in 76.3 innings pitched. Harold Palmer broke a WHS record with 41 stolen bases during the season. Team leaders in batting average were: Ken Robertson at .370, Jeff Walters at .367 and Steve Egyed at with a .362 bat- ting average. Dan Kobold and Egyed led the team in fielding percentage with .980 and .977 percent respectively. Mark Bra- lick led the team with 4 home runs and 33 runs batted in.

Many accomplishments were the result of the hard effort, work, and dedication the girls put into the season. Their dedication started with conditioning in early February and lasted through the end of the season in late May. One ac- complishment was the strong bond built between the players; another was the sportsmanship that grew during the year. The team endured a consid- erable loss due to the gradua- tion of five seniors: Kim Bo- gucki, Joy Herczeg, Jamie Bleak, Julie Shearer, and Can- dy Rogers.

By the first meet The Lady Panthers had developed a core of athletes that will bring much success to this Westside school. The Lady Panthers partici- pated with pride and enthusi- asm. Cindy Stallworth partici- pated in the 100 and 400 meter dashes, and Andrea Kaser in the 800 meter run. Many out- standing performances oc- curred during the season. They were a much talked about team through-out the tough N.LC. The Panthers qualified eight athletes in eight events for the Mishawaka Sectional Meet. Andrea Kaser, Dionne Wade, Amy Magiera and Jennifer Jen- kins competed in the 1600 me- ter relay. Cindy Stallworth qualified for the 100, 200, and 400 meter dashes, but did not compete because of an injury. Michelle Andrezjewski compet- ed in the 3200 meter run; Tricia Sekendy and Andrea Kaser in the 800 meter run; Jennifer Jenkins in the 300 meter low hurdles; and Denise Quinn in the long jump.

The 1987 88 Girls Swim Team had extraordinary team spirit this season. Coaches Mrs. Kristi Walz and Maria Harri- son believe that, of the many swimmers on the team, only those that practice hard and really try will excel and do what is necessary to win. There were many outstand- ing performances considering that the team was relatively new. When it came to diving, two names stood out, sopho- more Becky Fletcher and soph- omore Sara Marvin. Laura Rak- er, also a sophomore, was one of the best free style swimmers. The only senior on the team was captain Jeannie Briggs. In the past swimming seasons the girls have swum against some strong teams. In the next year or two they hope to ac- quire the strength and spirit needed to become a well- known, feared team in South Bend. Sara Marvin demonstrates a dive in perfect form.

Breaking The Mold Homecoming 103 Left in suspense The Spring of 1987 witnessed the presentation of The Girl in the Mir- ror by the Washington High School Drama Club. The play was based on a full-length drama by Bruce Jacoley and directed by Mrs. Sandra Weyer. The Girl in the Mirror leads the audience on a journey through a young girl ' s (Susan Connors ' ) mind who has just attempted to take her own life. Along the way the audience becomes aware of the events that have brought Susan Connors to the breaking point. The play brings about an awareness of teen suicide and what a widespread problem it is for today ' s youth. The Girl in the Mirror also stresses how important it is to search for alternatives to death. All of the hard work that went into The Girl In The Mirror was great- ly appreciated by the audience. The cast received excellent comments on their performances. The two and a half hours of practice daily for seven mAngie Green relaxes backstage.

I weeks paid off in the end, and may have even influenced a potential sui- cide victim to look for other ways to solve his problems. Erin Albert who portrayed Susan Connors and James DeCocq who portrayed the Speaker did excellent jobs memorizing their continuous lines of the play. Trish Hood played Susan ' s mother and Susan ' s father was played by Richard Koons. Cathy Salwin was Susan ' s best friend, Sa- mantha. Susan ' s boyfriend was por- trayed by Todd Ditmire. Playing Todd ' s friends were Mark Albert and Joe Blount. Acting as physician were Amy Wolford, Kim Putz, Mark Al- bert, Terry Poindexter, and Angeli- que Romanowski as the student counselor.

Many things have happened at Washington throughout the years. Some drama students went on to careers in communication in which theatrical arts helped them. Mr. Joe Good, former Wash- ington drama coach, offered some infor- mation on the history of drama at Wash- ington. One aspect that makes a quality produc- tion is discipline. Students must sacrifice much time and effort and must work to- gether well. A drama student also must discipline himself in school; keeping grades up is a necessity. In asking the question of the most mem- orable performance, Mr. Good announced two. One in 1970 was Carousel. He remem- bers that the orchestra and vocals were outstanding. From this outstanding per- formance, one student, Kurt Krause, ven- tured into a career in the performing arts. He is now with the Metropolitan Opera. Another performance, Oklahoma, was giv- en in 1975. Two students from that pro- duction went on to study communication. Christine Dudley is the campaign manag- er for Fred Grandy, better known as Go- pher on the Love Boat. Another is Sandy Matthys who is now with Channel 16 News as a reporter. When asked the question of the most memorable moment, Mr. Good recalled the time a performance was given in the honor of then superintendent Donald Dake. The band marched through the side doors of the auditorium and the perfor- mance was spectacular. Every year drama students go to con- tests which are noncompetitive. These one act plays receive both positive and nega- tive critiques which demonstrate their strong points and bring out areas to im- prove performances. The 1970 production o ' Carousel was filled with expert choreography. Extravagant costumes and scenery set off the 1975 production o ' Oklahoma.

The sport he enjoys playing is tennis, and he competed on the WHS tennis team. Marcus is sixteen years old and has been in the US since Sept. 14, 1987. Germany ' s edu- cational methods are different than the ones in the US. In Germany, one goes to school for thirteen years. During those thirteen years, the person goes six days a week, six hours a day, and only gets six weeks off for summer vacation each year. In Germany, Marcus takes two languages, seven years of physics, five years of chemistry, six years of biology, and six years of English. Marcus Noacli Berlin Not only is the education ' different, but the social as- pect is different also. The le- gal drinking age is sixteen, and even McDonald ' s and Burger King sell beer. No speed limit exists and the le- gal driving age is eighteen. However, it costs $1000 for a driver ' s license. Marcus said that one ste- reotype put on Americans is that we always eat fast food. He found that frustrating be- cause his first host-family in Kokomo, Indiana, took him to McDonald ' s from the air- port. Another frustrating as- pect to him is the interrup- tion of a television show by commercials. This was new to him. At first, Marcus had a problem getting into Washington. His host family did not have a child who goes here, but things were re- solved. He likes our school because a person can choose classes and move to different rooms. Other differences are pep assemblies and school spirit. Schools in Germany are straight for- ward and do not include such extra- curricular activities. They also do not have competitive sports as we do here. His idea of fun includes parties, dancing and just hanging around and talking. At times, though, he feels restricted by the American laws for minors. As for his future plans, he is un- sure. He may get into a field of art in Germany such as painting, commer- cial art, or photography. One thing is for sure: He wants to live in a big city!

Receiving honorable mentions were Paul Verstraete, Shelly Tomsits, Raquel Buress, Chris Gustafson, Randall Kruk, Marcus Noack, Scott Clark, Donna Barker, Carl Phillips and David Purnell. Some of the categories in which students participated were draw- ing, painting, ceramics, photography, col- lages and 3-D entries. These students were under the expert direction of Washington art staff members Mr. David Weber, Mr. Tom Meuninck, and Mr. Marion Pilarski. Our music students also had a suc- cessful year.

Solving problems for our future Future problem solving is for those stu- dents that are highly motivated in solving futuristic problems. Problems that these stu- dents try to overcome include water prob- lems, garbage, changing families and even illiteracy. The Future Problem Solving Team ' s goals are to develop the mind to ac- complish creative ways of thinking and a higher level of motivation. Organization of clear thinking is also part of the goal of this group. With the assistance of dedicated sponsors Mrs. Hintz and Mr. McPhee the group has competed with many schools across Indiana. Future Problem Solvers is an important ac- tivity that teaches young people to put an effort into changing the situations that will have an influence on their lives and on the lives of everyone else in the world. We can- not go on ignoring these problems as if they do not exist. Future Problem Solvers are be- ginning to deal with the issues.

With the help of their sponsor, Mr. Guinn, they hold an annu- al chicken barbecue dinner as a fund raiser. The members must sell tickets, make d eserts, and help work at the dinner itself This can be hard work, although some time is spent with Mr. Pikuona nibbling on the unus- able chicken pieces. The money raised at the dinner is used to help finance the annual trip to Chicago. Usu- ally, buses are taken and the group attends a play production and has dinner at a restau- rant that serves ethnic food. The rest of the day can be spent shopping and sight-seeing. It is a memorable day, filled with fun and excitement. The club also meets to see presentations by any foreign exchange students which are at- tending Washington. The students discuss how life really is in their homelands. It is fascinating to hear a foreigner ' s view of the United States. Indeed. Language Club is well worth join- ing.

Along with the inarching band, they provide half-time entertainment at football games and basketball games, march in parades, and participate in contests. The group of 15 performers practices daily either in the gym or on the field. Each year the group develops and re- fines new routines, under the direction of Mrs. Shoening. In the past few years much new equipment has been pur- chased, such as a variety of uniforms and a colorful assortment of flags in all shapes and sizes. This equipment adds new style to their routines.

From the big group of 32 talented girls, 16 for Varsity and 16 for B-team, were chosen. Being on the pom-pon squad, sponsored by Bonnie Tafelski, is much more hard work than would be expected. The squads practiced twice a week all summer long. They also marched in the Ethnic Festival pa- rade and attended a dance camp held at Ball State University. At camp the varsity squad received a superior tro- phy and the friendliest squad tro- phy. Individual ribbons were also won among the squad. The school year holds even more work. Practices are held at 6:30 a.m. as many days a week as it takes to look their best during the perfor- mances.

From the very beginning of the year the staff had a set goal. They want students and staff to look for- ward to the next issue. This goal has become a reality thanks to the many improvements made in the paper. These improvements include a cover page, which is a picture or drawing, and more student polls. They have also extended the number of pages, which hold exciting features, editori- als, and interviews. Being on the Hatchet staff is a lot of hard work, because there are so few members. Hopefully, along with its popularity, the size of the staff will also grow. The members also make new friends at LaSalle because much time is spent there pasting and printing the final copy. Finally, thanks to the hard work and dedication of this year ' s Hatchet staff, the newspaper is getting the re- spect which is has long deserved.

Staff, students, and alumni all look forward to the production of the yearbook. The job of writing, producing and selling these books falls solely on the yearbook staff, with the supervision of their sponsor, Ms. Bate. Many people do not realize the hours of work that go into writ- ing interesting features, drawing lay- outs and selling ads for an up to date yearbook. During the summer the editors of the Memory Lane attended a week long High School Journalism Insti- tute at I.U. Students from all over the Midwest were inv olved, learning what ' s in and what ' s out, and getting new ideas to use throughout the book. Pre-sales for the yearbook began in October and went to April. Also a fund raiser, the annual dance had a 50 ' s theme and was alot of fun for all who attended. Another annual event for yearbook is the candy sale. Yearbook is a busy organization and each student is responsible for his her work. When pages are as- signed each person is responsible for copy, layouts and pictures. The pho- tography class helps by taking pic- tures and even printing and develop- ing them. Without good photography the yearbook would never be successful. All of these people working togeth- er in a joint effort can cause much confusion and stress, but in the end, it is well worth the work. Yearbooks are the most lasting collection of memories that a school can produce. Years from now, when you pull out this book to flip through the pages, and look back on your high school days, it is guaranteed that you will appreciate all of the work that has been done for you.

This is the grou p ' s second year at WHS with sponsors Miss Childs and Mrs. Hintz. Cadet teaching, an im- portant activity for the students, al- lows them to get a head start on their future. They teach in schools such as Lafayette Elementary and learn the fundamentals of teaching. Members learn to grade papers, write tests, do lesson plans, and keep student grades. They also learn what it ' s like to take charge of a classroom of chil- dren. With this experience, Project Teach members will be carrying on the tradition of excellent education in the future.

Approximately thirty stu- dents are inducted each year. Mrs. Drapek has been a faithful sponsor for four years and holds the group together with the help of the yearly elected officers. Selection is not based solely on GPA (although it must be 3.0 or above). More importantly, service points are tallied. These services in- clude class officers, team captains, teacher assistants, and church in- volvement among many others. These activities are highly honored because service is the purpose of NHS. During the year, service pro- jects are undertaken such as the blood drive, honoring the teachers on Teacher Appreciation Day, and painting fire hydrants in a Bicenten- nial theme. Unfortunately, as with all groups, it seems as though the majority of the time is spent raising money. This is done by selling candy and sponsor- ing the Halloween costume dance (which was well worth attending to see Mark Zalas ' s first prize costume as a urinal!) The money raised is used for the induction dinner in March and to buy honor cords for Seniors. National Honor Society is a group committed to serving others and also to honor the service of its members. Bottom row: Pres. Heather Woods, Jeannie Briggs, Trade Haluda.

In South Bend, Hispanic week was celebrated in a few ways of its own. Harrison grade school held a celebration called Education Day . The first through sixth graders danced to songs such as La Bamba and El Cerro De La Silla . Also, a few churches in the area held ser- vices for the Hispanic heritage in South Bend. A beauty pageant was also held for girls in grades 9-12. Washington sophomore Christina DeLeon won the pageant for the city. All of these activities are brought together by Hispanics all over the city to show pride in their heritage.

Cultural _ Explosion Washington ' s multi-cultural club is certainly breaking the mold this year with many ambitious goals in mind. Some of those goals are to strive for educational excellence, which encourages good study habits, and better preparation and partici- pation in class. Besides its goals, the multi-cultural club has one main purpose. That is to provide an oppor- tunity for students to develop through organized educational and cultural programs. It is also headed toward increasing individual self-es- teem, awareness of the various op- portunities in life, and gaining a bet- ter understanding of ourselves and others. Mrs. Timotea Moreno spon- sors this fine group of 30 young adults that are encouraging and sup- porting fellow minority students to- ward academic growth and develop- ment.

Headed by Mrs. Imler, the members of Students Against Drunk Driving came up with many good ideas to try to stop drunk driv- ing along with some frightening ex- amples of what may happen as a re- sult. The group attempted to make people more aware of the problems caused by drunk drivers during a na- tional S.A.D.D. chapter week. The chapter helped to promote the Tie one on campaign, in which students tied a red ribbon on their car to show they would be celebrating sober over the holidays. For some time a demol- ished car was in front of school to show the potential results of driving under the influence. Hopefully this group will continue to lessen the damage done by drunk drivers each year. Another group which helps stu- dents cope with today ' s social prob- lems is the Friends Always There clubs. The club ' s members studied the causes of many teenage problems including eating disorders and sui- cide. Many of the members attended the Matthew Lang conference in Oc- tober where they were lectured and taught why people turned to such ex- tremes as eating disorders, drinking, and suicide, along with how they should be treated. With all of the information the members of Friends Always There are being given, it is likely they will be able to help many students with their problems. The SADD chapter is lectured by a guest speaker on club day. This smashed car served as a grim reminder of the results of driving under the influence, a Friends Always There.

At their meet held in Middlebury at Northridge High School the team was examined in ten subjects areas: Economics, Mathe- matics, Science, Fine Arts, Social Science, Language and Literature, Speech, Interview and Essay, and the final event, the Super Quiz, which was an oral presentation based on the History of Flight. The team met once a week during zero hour from October to January and consisted of six members in three different categories. The three divisions were the Varsity, Scholas- tic, and Honor which were based upon the student ' s grade point aver- age. The team ' s members included Stacie Anderson, Doug Burnham, Julie Chudzicki, Anjonette Cornells, Michael Guest, Trade Haluda, Rah- man Johnson, Tracy Landuit, Ka- trina Lentych, Traci Marvin and Lisa Miller. The team ' s sponsors Mrs. Stitt and Mrs. Howenstein put in untold hours behind the scenes to assure the team ' s first year success. Academic Decathlon is challeng- ing, rewarding and exciting.

These spirit days brought out many differ- ent styles of clothing and gave students a chance to win free tickets to the Winter Wonderland dance sponsored by the junior class. The annual decorating of the halls and gymnasi- um also took place on Monday and Thursday nights. This time the class of 1991 and 1989 won the spirit sticks for best deco- rations.

The stu- dents were high in spirit to encourage the basket- ball team to a victory over Mishawaka. During the assembly spirit sticks were given to the classes of 1991 and 1989 for their help in the food drive. Friday evening the Pan- thers showed that they are the pride of the West Side in their game against Mishawaka. At half time the court was announced and Kim White was crowned Homecoming Queen. The Winter Wonder- land dance in the gymna- sium was the perfect way to end another exciting spirit week.

The next four years appeared to be an unconquerable mountain which we were to climb. Everyone told us that the years would fly by. They were right. Suddenly we are standing on the summit of the mountain looking back down. We have reached our senior year. Each of us has our own memories of football and bas- ketball games, classes, lunches, homecom- ings, parties, proms, and the list goes on for- ever. These good times can never be taken from us. As we graduate this year we will hold tightly to these memories, but we must also make our plans for the future and go our separate ways. Do not look on graduation as an ending, though. It is the beginning of a new life. It seems just like yesterday when we walked through the doors for the first time, and it will soon be tomorrow when we walk out for the last.

For a lucky few, this is an easy answer, but for the rest it is something that we are still pondering ourselves. It is unbelievable how many possible directions there are to head. It is not simply a question of whether to go to work or college. We need to decide where to work, what school to go to, where to live, what to study. The list is endless. Five years from now some of us probably still won ' t know exactly where it is that we are headed. This is what each of us has to go through in order to discover who he is and what he is meant to do. This transition into a new life will be difficult, but each of us will come out alive and kicking. We have no way of knowing what the future holds in store for each of us, but we will make new friends, take on new responsibilities, and learn to stand up to the world on our own two feet.

This year has also been a year of growth and change. Sophomores have grown academically as well as athletically. Attitudes, ideas and outlooks have changed dramatically since fresh- man year. The class sponsors guiding these sophomores along the way are Ms. Gavin and Mrs. Kuhn. The sophomore class officers have em- barked on many fundraisers this year. They ' ve held a sophomore sponsored dance which featured The Best Varsity Legs contest, and poster and candy sales. The sopho- mores are truly on the move. §0P§0 0 I§ I0PI Abel, Brian T.

It ' s also a time of freedom, independence, and change. One of these freedoms is the open lunch option. Students are more on their own now than they ' ve ever been before. They ' re finding out what it officially means to be a Panther. Ac- tivities are also more in abundance than they ' ve ever been before. Club memberships, sporting events, dances, attending athletic competiitons, academics, and new friend- ships are all events which fill freshman days. Freshman year is a time for meeting people and making friends. More than anything, freshman year is a time of learning. Class members are by no means alone though. Class officers and sponsors, Miss Ciuksza and Miss Bednarek, are always there for any help needed along the way. Undoubtedly, these freshman are off to a super start and it ' s only the beginning of great times to come. 11 ' JEWJBWf : 2 The freshman class shows school spirit by deco- ting the hall for football homecoming. - -  - • V Adams, Erica D.

Ever since riots and racism plagued the community, the West Side was looked down upon. This was the background of Wash- ington and today people still believe that every student that comes from this school is part of that old mold. We are shaped by our environment and finally we are showing the com- munity that Washington is breaking into a new mold . The yearbook carried out our theme through division pages, the academic section, and the activity section and the cover which was de- signed by Katrina Lentych. Each hand drawn division page displayed a panther breaking out into the new mold. The academic section had fea- ture stories covering each academic area such as English, math and sci- ence and highlighted what happened in those classes. Activities were car- ried out through copy. In this way we wanted to reveal that Washington High School is just as good as any other South Bend school. This year ' s staff made it possible for the yearbook to express its theme. Everyone was dedicated to the job and put in long hours of work after school to produce the best lay- out design and copy. The deadlines seemed to arrive quicker than ex- pected and last minute caption and copy writing were always involved in the rush. There were never enough typists, but they worked exceptional- ly hard to get the job done. We great- ly appreciated our Josten ' s represen- tatives, Mr. Jim Beckham, who was always around to answer our last minute questions. Lots of thanks goes to our sponsor, Mrs. Bate, for her dedication and most of all for her patience, which somehow lasted un- til the end of each deadline even though some of the time it ran a little thin. Thanks to everyone who made this yearbook possible and for all of the hard work and dedication. Ev- eryone did a superb job.

Breaking The Mold 1 OZ7 1 nn Closing 1 Z7U Breaking The Mold WTf Stacey Carothers concentrates on Mrs. Bate ' s copy instructions. w This year ' s Memory Lane staff could be best described as the last- minute gang. With seven deadlines, one of which was 60 pages, faculty advisor, Mrs. Bate, spent plenty of time unwinding after the pages were sent off. The staffs newest addition was our copy editor, Stacie Anderson, whose creativeness and watchful eye kept the copy honest, and as Mrs. Bate would say, a class act. Al- though pictures were scarce at times, our photographers were able to pull through with the help of a few teach- ers who were willing to let them out of class. The most exciting part of the year was when the cover, in full color, was brought in by Mr. Beckham, and it looked exactly as we wanted. Then the editorial staff broke the mold by showing the entire staff the cover for the first time in about five years. The year was full of stress, hard work, laughs, and just plain crazi- ness. This staff worked together to make a book worthy of Washington ' s pride. The 1988 Memory Lane editorial staff: (front row): Carol Wlo- chowski. Kellie Howe. (Back row): Cindy Niemasik, Katrina Lentych, Michele Sobecki, Stacie Anderson, Mike Zielinski, Andre Harris, Shawn Huffine. iBilly Lowe reacts to David Williams ' sur- prised look.

Sam Brookshire This 1987-88 school year was excit- ing in part because of the work on the 1988 Memory Lane. The idea for our theme Breaking the Mold was de- veloped by our editorial staff during the Indiana University High School Journalism Institute. Our staff has done a super job of developing our theme. Special con- gratulations go to Cindy Niemasik and Carol Wlochowski for the new look given to the academic section with feature stories. All of the staff has performed with style even during our largest, most frantic deadlines. I ' d like to thank Mrs. Bate for car- ing and listening, and for not having a nervous breakdown when my pages weren ' t finished on time. I ' d also like to acknowledge Tracy Landuit for typing more copy and captions than I can count. Also to Stacie Anderson for rewriting my copy to make it sound like copy. Finally, thanks goes to Shawn Huffine for watching out for me. I hope that this 1988 yearbook will be a lasting memory for you. It was prepared with care and presented with pride and dedication.
