Vanessa Howard 3 4 5 Yesterday's memories add new joy to each new Tomorrow unknown 8 Looking at things Not as they are but as they were, not here and now but there and then hazy images of friends and fun and life as it would be (and is now) come into view while recalling little remembrances of tears and smiles sorrow and joy love and . . . hate I begin to pity those who look back at things not as they are but as they were, and have memories that number far too few. Teresa Carpenter V - A •jTNS — A O i wr« W 9 One of the biggest events of the year, homecoming, was held on October 1st. Weeks were spent preparing for the big night. Band members practiced daily, while club and class members spent a great deal of time stuffing mil- lions of pomps into chickenwire, and the football players worked their hardest. It all paid off with spectacular floats, a fantastic half-time show, and a 49-0 vic- tory over Twin Lakes. Starting above clockwise: Senior hotdogs, Kathi R..

Juniors Jim Glon and Beth Silveus led the procession of seniors. 23 24 25 The seniors invade Washington; the city will never be the same. Starting above clockwise: THE FLAG RAISING AT IWO JIMA; Cindy McCreary found a new friend in the Smithsonian Institute; sitting on the bus in Washington, Tim Morganthaler tried to look excited; Mary Milbcrn played cards to pass the time on the plane. 26 Starting left clockwise: After getting up at 2 o’clock in the morning, you can understand why they fell asleep: the group that went on the first Washington trip; Leslie Shenefield, Pam Sheline, and Judy Bachtel took a moment to rest: nobody knows what they were trying to do while hanging over that bridge. 27 Qeniors somehow make it to graduation. Starting above clockwise: Scott Pruett saw . . . something: like many other students that year, Karen Goshen needed help to put two and two together: the senior class council left to right: Vice-President Todd Haines, John Naab, Kim Beezley, Andrea Griffith, President Sandy Rinker, Dawn Price, Kathy Marose, Secretary Jane Helvey; lady-killer Mark Hoover TRIED to look suave and debonair. 28 Finally, after such a long wait, our senior year fell upon us - our last year together. Senior year for the Class of '77 turned out to be a year full of worry, planning, anticipation, and excitement. It was also for most of us the busiest and craziest time of all our high school years. A what-the-heck-we're-seniors'' attitude allowed many of us to act as crazy as we pleased without caring what the rest of the school thought.

The big event of the year was the freakish snowstorm which kept us out of school ten days during January. In March and April we discussed, planned, and pulled together a great prom with the theme being Visions in Blue. But too soon May and graduation came upon us. The ceremony was characterized by seriousness and long faces. Sud- denly we realized that we had unknowingly flipped our tassels and at the same moment had become graduates.

Language arts laid down the basics in communication and thought so that understanding in other areas might be enriched. Class projects were supple- mented by films, magazines, paperbacks, and indi- vidual student reports. In addition to the packaged college prep courses, special interest mini courses were available. 84 Language arts lays the foundation . . .

Manchester, M.A. Ball State: Keith Bowman, B.S.F., M.F. Univ. of Michigan. 86 Since a scientist’s goal was to discover a better way to sustain life, build complex machines, or synthesize a modern day neces- sity, it seemed logical someone might develop an easy way of becoming a scientist. Well, that was one of the many ironies of school days! The shipment of brand new science books for all the physical, biological, and chemical sciences presented old concepts in brighter light, and new examinations in sometimes no light at all. Starting left clockwise: Pamela Juday. B.S. Michigan State; Janie and Kaylon were lab partners; Paul Royer. A.B. Manchester, M.A. Ball State; Bill Kitson. B.S. Manchester.

Ball State, M.S. Univ. of New Mexico; Kevin and Phil practiced business math. No one knew as well as math students the endless ways in which numbers could be juggled. When equations outgrew the integers, the rational numbers were introduced. Digging further into theory, the real numbers were conceived. With the real numbers just about any equation had an answer, but when the ultimate hit-the problem with an answer - imagi- nary numbers saved the day. 88 and math adds new dimensions . . .

Starting left clockwise: Spanish class was always more fun with tapes: Norma Rush, B.A. Manchester: Andy loved examina- tions. If it was up to the Foreign Language Department, the Tower of Babel would be a reality yet. They worked on breaking the communications' barrier through course offerings in Spanish, Latin, French and Ger- man. To students enrolled in these classes, foreign language became a voice heard from native citizens through electronic headphones. 93 Starting right clockwise: Bob was lucky he didn't fall in; the concert band: the concession stand suffered when the marching band entertained during half-time. As always the Marching Band made a fine showing during the football season this past year. At concerts the bands played such tunes as Rock Encounter, Corazon, and Concertata. The band instructor was David Blackwell, B.M.E., M.S. Indi- ana University. and the band plays on . . . 95 Starting above clockwise; the cadet band; Dave blew a mean blast; Stephanie perfected her oboe solo. while songs are loud and cheerful. . .

Among their concert num- bers were Lara’s Theme, Ballet Parisien, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, and Fiddler on the Roof. 98 and orchestras entertain . . . Starling left clockwise: Laura prepared for the winter concert: Mr. Orban directed with much enthusiasm: a fifth period orchestra jam session!: Steve was caught at a rare moment - actually playing his instrument. 100 while arl sharpens the eye . . .

The cha- otic rhythm of students pecking, pecking away on their typewriters touched on the importance of only one facet of business. In the world of today, every aspect of business training is in demand, and the business department at Wawasee prepared students for employment and provided practical experience as well.

TODD HAINES 122 123 PRIDE Committees are added to W.H.S. student govern- ment! Last year before school was out, ten students were elected from each class to be members of the PRIDE committees. Almost as soon as school started, the com- mittees started to organize. Their first activity was W.H.S. Homecoming. After working especially hard all of Homecom- ing week, they ended up with a successful coronation of King and Queen. They also sponsored the dance that followed the football game. Throughout the year the PRIDE committees tried to spread their pride in W.H.S. to other students. They took over the showcase by the vocational office and used it to recognize outstanding students and their achievements. To those students who earned a 4.0 grade average, the committees sent out letters of congratulations and encourage- ment. Senior PRIDE Committee Members, left to right, row 1: M. Kitson, K. Lemmon.

National Honor Society started out a fun and educational year with their fall induction. Meet- ing all the standards set to be inducted were a number of jun- iors and one senior. As time passed the students got together for a Halloween party in an old haunted barn and later on a Christmas party at Becky Busch's. For a little something different, many students gathered at Sue Gans’ house for appetizers and the beginning of a progressive dinner. After the appetizers came salad, soup and the main course, each served at a different person’s house. The evening finally came to an end with des- sert at Diane Kesler’s house. Mark Amos didn't look like he was selling very many books. National Honor Society Members, left to right, row 1: S. Gans. K. Carlin; row 2: C. Coy, F. Weicht, M. Startek, R. Watkins. V. Glancy, D.

Their annual Dress Down was res- cheduled from the fall to the spring, but all members attend- ing still had an enjoyable time. The club was also very busy in regional and state competition. At the Area 2 regional, Craig Koble was named winner of the name tag competition with Lin Ummel being selected as Area 2 Miss F.E.A.

Wawasee every Tues- day night to ski for as many hours as possible. Also between Christ- mas vacation and the school days missed because of snow, many members were able to get up there for a little extra practice. With a good skiing season and luckily very few injuries behind them, all of the club members were looking forward to another snowy winter in '78. Hopefully, then, they will also be able to visit other larger ski areas. Starling above clockwise: Ginger Harris wailed for Julie Henning to pui her boots on so they could go out and ski; Ski Club Members; Yes, Roger, we liked your hat!

When we wer- en't busy working on our pages, we always found something else interesting to do. One thing everybody loved to do was take pictures with the new camera. By the way, did anybody ever think of putting film in the camera?

The new resolite track provided incen- tive for 2 new records in track events and one record in a field event. Steve Badskey ran the 2 mile in 10:03; Tim Hamman was clocked on the half mile at 1:59.2; Mike Ousley cleared the high jump bar at 6'4% . With 4 cindermen on the way to regional and the best high school track in northern Indiana, the squad experi- enced a successful season.

Morganthaler: when the gun was fired, it was Wawasee out of the blocks first: Eldon Ummel. Athletic Director, scheduled Warrior events all year long. 53 Girls' track is 2nd in sectional. An extra long winter hindered the Wawasee girls’ track team from getting their scheduled start for outdoor training. But the sun finally prevailed to shed a little light on an interesting season. Losing strength in field events after the class of ’76 passed by, the girls, coached by Marcia Carpenter, retained their overwhelm- ing superiority in the speed contests. They advanced runners in five events to the regional competition at Fort Wayne Concordia. The team was unable to defend last year’s sectional title as they placed second behind the powerful Elkhart Central Blue Blazers. Winners were the 440 relay team consisting of Kathy Bice, Barb Yoder, Rhonda Byrd and Lorene Spearman, and Spearman again in the 100 and 220. The 880 and 880 medley relay races, run by Joanna Spearman, Bice, Terri Holtzclaw and Judy Fouts, both placed second behind Central’s foursomes.

Despite only 4 victories in 15 meets, there were bright spots in individual performances. Junior Kevin Gilbert broke the double mile record more than once and finally turned the clock at 12:31 with this performance. He was the first in WHS cross country history to com- pete in the Regional. Once again, the runners were coached by Jerry Minton. Starting below clockwise: B. Brown, B. McMillan, S. Bryant and S. Arnold listened intently as Coach Minton instructed. No tripping, you guys! : Coach Minton dis- cussed jungle warfare with Kevin Gilbert, Stuart Bryant and Steve Badskey; after the race was over, the distance runners checked their times. 155 JV Wrestlers also look good. Following right along with the varsity performance, David Matz's junior var- sity and freshman wrestlers produced outstanding records. The reserve mat- men didn't receive a single setback in 10 outings. Also, they placed second in both the Goshen and Northwood lnvitationals. The freshmen were able to score victories in all but one of their six meets to wind up an exceptional year for warrior wrestling.

Coach Frank discussed the plan of attack with Mike Troyer: Coach Matz double checked to make sure his next wrestler was ready. 157 It was truly an exciting year for Warrior wrestling as the matmen decisively subdued every opponent on the roster. By winning all ten of their scheduled meets, they pro- duced the first no-loss season ever. Not only did they place first in the NLC, they also won the New Haven Invi- tational, and won the East Noble Sectional title. Champi- ons at the sectional were, by weight class, Terry Rinker - 98 lbs., Hal Hammaker - 119 lbs., Vince Gronendyke - 138 lbs., Rick Bauman - 177 lbs., John Beer - 185 lbs., and Mitch Ousley - Heavyweight. At the Fort Wayne regional the following Saturday, Beer and Ousley won again, while Rinker placed second. Hammaker and Gro- nendyke placed third and fourth respectively. Rinker, Beer, and Ousley competed at the Semi-state one week later where Ousley placed fourth after losing his first match all year. He then defaulted in the consolation, after an injury sustained in his second match. With these powerful performances, the Warriors received a State ranking of 16th. It was indeed a memorable year for Coach Terry Frank and his wrestlers.

This year our gymnastics team once more brought the eyes of Indiana back to Wawasee High School. For just a few of the fine performances, senior Sandy Rinker won the beginners division at the sectional, and went on to compete at the regional. The optional squad, composed of Rhonda Byrd, Kathy Brouwer. Nancy Amos, Barb Yoder, Boody Brewer, Kathy Yoder and Tracy Rinker, was defeated by only 1 point in sectional competition. The spotlight fell on freshman Tracy Rinker as she won sectional, regional and then went on to capture the state title. She not only won the All-Around title, but did so by winning all four events, a first in Indiana high school gymnastics. The girls were coached by Marcia Car- penter. 160 Divers go to State. The girls' swim team, coached by Cindy Peterson, defeated nine opponents in fifteen meets. Outstanding performances were turned in by the divers as Nancy Amos and Tracy Rinker placed 10th and 8th in the state respec- tively. Junior Teresa Carpenter set six new school records and received Most Valuable Swimmer.

As another new addition to the Wawasee coaching staff. Larry Shook led the swimmers to a 4-8 season. Even though the team was made up of a majority of underclassmen, they placed fourth in the N.L.C. In the Lewis Cass Invita- tional . the team placed third out of six teams while they also tied for fifth in the Sectional with eleven teams competing. Fine individual performances were turned in also. Bill Rosenkranz, a junior, won the diving sectional and went on to place 15th in the state. Senior Dennis Troyer set a new diving record while sophomore Steve Rosenkranz bettered the records in the 100 Butterfly and the 200 Individual Medley.

Cooperative play was the key and the team narrowly lost in the first round of sectional competition. Only three players will be gone next year, so things looked bright for the spikin’ Warriorettes.

It proved to be a long season for the girls' basketball team as they could only muster one win in eleven games. But when sectional time arrived, Jim Web- ster's Warriorettes pulled it all together. They defeated Bethany Christian in the first game and convincingly beat Northwood 41-36 in the champi- onship to capture Wawasee girls' second consecutive basketball sectional crown. 165 We'll get 'em next year. . . This year’s freshmen, playing for the first time in Warrior uni- forms, experienced a rather unlucky season. For all their valiant efforts, the A-team was unable to produce a win in thirteen games. The B-team fared a little better by managing a 2-7 record. The frosh were coached by George Vitaniemi and Greg Minegar.

The junior varsity basketball team started out much the same as the varsity by losing the first seven games. But they pulled it together for a respectable 8-12 season. Big wins were posted over Northwood, Goshen, and Northridge. Coached by Ted Mahnensmith, the reserves looked forward to a spot on next year's varsity squad. 167 Warriors win Starting right clockwise: Keith Cripe went up for two against Manchester: Mark Francis took good care of the little man on the trophy: Norm Vanlaningham took a bad fall against Plymouth at the Elkhart regional: junior Ken Patton was one against an army as he drove to the basket. sectional! 168 For the first time in Wawasee’s nine year history, the Warrior basketball team brought the Triton sectional trophy back to a place on our shelf for keeps. After beginning the season with seven straight losses, the team, coached by Jerry Lambert, won eight of the next 13 games. Although hopes for a sectional crown seemed small, they easily bumped the Rochester Zebras from the lineup in the first game. The real thriller came the following Saturday night when the team was to play defending champs, the Warsaw Tigers. Saved from a heartbreaking defeat by a bucket at the final buzzer, a thunderous Wawasee cheerblock raised their index fingers high in the air at the end of a tense overtime. The Warriors came out on top, 74-70. With half the community present at the Elkhart regional, the squad finally met a road block in the form of the Plymouth Pil- grims. Plymouth then won the night game for the champion- ship. (Note: The Pilgrims were defeated in the Semi-state by eventual STATE CHAMPIONS, the Carmel Greyhounds.)

In their first actual year of scheduled competition, our Wawasee hockey team proved to be a strong contender on the ice. Skating against a majority of experienced Fort Wayne teams, the guys, coached by Tom Kitch, produced a solid 6- 8 record. Although the team was not directly sponsored by the school, the student body gave enthusiastic support to the squad.

Jerry Lambert's varsity base- ball team started the season a bit unevenly but then fought back with wins against Man- chester, Fairfield, Columbia City, Goshen, Triton and Northfield. With the varsity squad losing only three seniors and Coach Minegar’s J.V. team gaining valuable playing time, the future looked bright for next year's squad. 174 W.H.8. baseball future looks bright. Starting below clockwise: senior Todd Haines demonstrated superior fielding ability: when Jeff Smith let loose with that arm. it was hard telling where the ball was going to go: Greg Evans showed great form, but the pitcher missed his bat: Chin up.

Coached by Jim Webster, a team comprised of a majority of underclassmen earned a respectable 8-9 record. Strong deci- sive wins were achieved over Whitko, La ville, Howe Mili- tary, and conference rivals Goshen and Rochester. The team was narrowly defeated by second ranked conference foe Con- cord in sectional play. With a record such as this, the future looked smashing for Warrior teams.

These golfers helped to produce a 20 and 2 record in '76. The 1977 schedule was stronger yet. They lost only 4 while winning 14 and were 4 and 3 in the conference. They won the NLC Tournament and had hopes of finishing high in the sectional. The golfers were coached by Rudy Cesco and Tony Clouse. Starting right clockwise: That wasn't Mark Hoover.

Hal Travi- ola's Green Machine was handed only three defeats in 10 contests while competing in one of the toughest conference lineups in years. Stellar performances were recog- nized as the All-Conference bal- loting placed Rick Bauman and Mitch Ousley on the first team. Keith Cripe earned a berth on the second team while Todd Haines and Joel Popenfoose captured recognition with Honorable Men- tion awards. Bauman also had an outstanding year as he grabbed enough yardage and touchdowns to place second only to Plym- outh's Pete Buchanan. 185 186 SHARP HARDWARE Milford, Ind. • SHARP HARDWARE JHVMCTHVH dHVHS • 'PUI • 3UVMCRIVH JHVHS WALTER'S DRUGS, INC. 108 S.

S. Brembeck, Chore-Time Equipment, Inc. will be celebrating its 25th Anniversary during 1977. From its early base- ment beginning. Chore-Time has grown to its present six plant interna- tional level. The main plant located in Milford, Indiana (pictured) manufactures mechanized feeders, waterers and feed delivery systems for the turkey, broiler, cage layer and swine industries. Across the road is the Air Sys- tems Division which specializes in the manufacture of ventilating systems for these industries. Traveling south to Decatur, Alabama is a plant which manufactures cages for the cage layer industry. Just east at Athens, Georgia is a plant manufacturing cage feeders, trough waterers and egg gathering equipment to complement the Decatur Division product line. Across the sea to Maldegem, Belgium are two more plants built to serve a growing European market. Chore-Time is proud of its association with the Milford area commu- nity and would like to thank the many within the community for having helped make the Chore-Time story a successful one.
