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

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.

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. They had a rough season due to their inexperience, yet came out vic- torious over LaSalle. The game turned out to be a cliff hanger as the Back row: Cathy Shisler.

Although the team did not win a state champion- ship, they still had fun and gained some experience. When these girls return next year they should have a strong base for improvement. With encouragement they should become a tough team to beat in the coming years. alski. Penny Karn, Becky Salavar, Leslie Ba- lint.

During the period of July 6-31, 1987, Gonzaga University in Spo- kane, Washington, hosted the Na- tional Endowment for the Human- ities Summer Seminar for secondary School Teachers. Our own Mrs. Dra- pek was a participant in this seminar. The emphasis during these class ses- sions generally entered on the influ- ence of the European Enlightenment as practiced in America and under- stood by Thomas Jefferson and his agents, Meriwether Lewis and Wil- liam Clark. Mrs. Drapek said, It was a privilege to be a part of this group. iKim Dove dribbles the ball with skill. The New Team On The Block -f q Mini Mag 1 C
