The stu- dents are consolidated from Whitley and Koskiusko counties equaling close to 638 students (all teenagers). These studious teenagers are taught and administered by 38 adults. The school employs janitors to clean up after the teenagers and the adults. Whitko has a varied curriculum from which the students may choose their classes, 13 sports activities in which to participate, and 13 extra-curricular organizations in which students may be involved. The Drama Club always produces a fall play and a spring musical. Christ- mas break begins before Christmas and ends after New Year’s Day. Spring break is during springtime. Every graduating class has a valedic- torian and salutatorian. The sopho- mores take Iowa Basic Skills Tests. Every year students have the oppor- tunity to buy class rings. Homecom- ing is celebrated at a home football game where a king and queen are crowned. The junior class gives a prom for the senior class. Soon after the prom, the seniors graduate. And, just like any other high school, the- journalism staff tries to produce a yearbook expressing something unique about the school and the school year. But, every year the year- books are distributed in the fall of the following school year. So, this is just another school and school year. f Se 2 a ag eaey | See ousiey Wee cit eae 2 et ie aad el eh | SG ac ame 2s SHSM es tes ee lea ed BSRGERS SRE] BRSSNS FSI a STEER 2 BEET SRE gS) ee ST SSS Junior candidates, Kris Wolf and Joey Busz squish across the muddy field.

IT RAINED ON OUR PARADE Periicivants in this years homecoming were wishing “Rain, rain, go away; come again some other day” as it poured on the football field making it a mud bog. Patient class members with their carefully con- structed floats waited in the evening’s downpour as the judges decided which float was most creative. The theme for floats this year, movies, was best dis- played by the first place sophomore float. Fresh- men came in second and the seniors, breaking a long losing streak, took third. The juniors brought up the rear with fourth place. The soaked floats paraded around the track while the homecoming candidates Freshmen Suzy Collier and Tyler Hammel hobble to the side- lines. Suzy’s outfit wouldn’t have been complete without her formal walking cast. did their best to look neat and dry. Despite all the mud, the band filed into procession along the 50-yard line for the royal court. Last year’s king and queen, Chad Van- Kirk and Randa Huff led the candidates down the swamp of a field to the sidelines. As the anxious umbrella armed crowd waited and the girls on the muddy field tried to keep their heels from sinking further into the ground, the drum began to roll. The announcer’s voice boomed through the _ speakers, “The 1986-87 Mr. and Miss Congeniality are Rick Wilson and Amy Auker.’’ The crowd’s cheers were soon hushed as the announcer then de- clared, “This year’s new homecoming king and queen are Bryan Sherwin and Ruchele Wright.” MAGAZINE 5 No caption needed, but it’s celebration time for Wildcats who are now better known as the 1986 AA State Football Champs. Dedicated ’Cats fans show their support at a school pep as- sembly. THE FEVER OF STATE CHAMP — IONS ny football player yl at the beginning of the season might have set their main goal at having a successful season and winning more games than last year. Who could have known that the Wild- 6 FOOTBALL cats would later walk out of the Hoosier Dome carrying the 1986 Class 2A State Championship trophy Many fans didn’t expect the mighty ’Cats to go to state, but after a great comeback against Shen- nendoah, everyone caught “Hoosier Dome Fever’’. The ’Cats defeated Tell City 26-0 to fulfill a dream to be the best and to bring home Whitko’s first athle- tic state title. ‘Anyone traveling on this road would have no doubt as to whose territory they were in. The com- munities supported the ’Cats all the way to state. Top—“Not quite Mom’s ... but it’ll do.” Senior Randy Dor- mans making do at lunchtime. Left—What did you say, Carla? “mmmphlbatskamm!” — Right—Junior Joey Busz says, “Gee Ron and Dean, maybe if we eat a nutritious meal we’ll grow up to be big and strong!” CUISINE t’s obvious that the school’s cooks have a rough life. It can’t be easy trying to please 640 kids five days a week. Not that we’ve noticed any uniformity in the school’s menu each week, but let’s take a look at a “typical” week of food at Whitko. Monday—Pizza, corn, a peanut butter cookie and milk. Tuesday—Chili (with beans), toasted cheese, crackers and milk. Wednesday— Hamburgers (or Soyburgers), tator tots and the famous peach crisps. Thursday—Spaghetti (with beans?, please review Tues.), a salad and garlic bread. Friday—Fish or tuna (somebody tell the cooks Lent is over), fries and milk. Pelee No matter how much sar- cas m is thrown at our cooks about the food, they always have a smile on their faces, and that’s nice. One piece of advice to those students who dislike the school’s food: a pat on the back or a nice hello for a cook could make a big difference when it comes to your burrito (they could skip the beans)! MAGAZINE 7 Junior southern belle Dede Hostetler and her handsome escort senior Al Gilson prepare to walk across the bridge ahead to paradise. Right— ‘Hey, where’s your tick- et?” Sophomore Jenny Gilson helped at the afterprom. The sophomores took care of the service and mainte- nance of both proms during the even- ing and morning. Below— “Yeah, take my picture!”” Senior Mark Koontz dances around for the camera and his date who was from a different school. Above—Very classy juniors Jim Juillerat and date Robin Collier catch a breath of fresh air in the com- mons. Right—Senior Delaine Due and junior Chad Collier show their decorated backs. Several couples dressed alike for the after-prom, but Chad and Delaine painted carica- tures of themselves on matching shirts. 8 PROM A NIGHT IN PARADISE Above—King and Queen Mike Kline and Debbie Reid get a photo taken before the royal dance to “Al- most Paradise.’’ Far left—Mr. Suave and Debonair junior David Schneider shows his J.C. Penny | smile. It looks like David was having a truly great time. Right—Dancing to the theme song for the royal dance is Princess Michelle Thomas and Prince Steve Espinoza. The two temporarily broke away from their dates for the royal occasion. fter crossing a bridge into Whit- ko’s gym on May 9, students entered a world decorated as a paradise is- land with volcanos and tropical huts. Prom goers could walk on a sandy beach complete with shells or sit near a fountain sur- rounded by palm trees. A Tuxes and tea length dresses ranging from me- tallic red to soft pastels were a usual combination for attire. At first couples seemed shy about dancing, but finally everyone seemed to relax and enjoy themselves. Anything from romantic music to that “Old Time Rock and Roll,” and tender whispers to hearty laughter could be heard. At 10:15 the crowd was si- lenced and the 1987 prom princess, prince, king and queen were crowned. Prin- cess Michelle Thomas and Prince Steve Espinoza joined King Mike Kline and Queen Debbie Reid in a special romantic dance to the song ‘‘Almost Para- dise.” Just as the dancers were starting to get the spirit, the clock struck eleven. People exited to prepare for the after-prom. The gym was quiet, like the calm before the storm. After-prom, a Hawaiian beach party, would start at midnight ... Kids wearing jams, tank tops and leis were doing anything from dancing to playing beach ball. Junior Kevin Archer summed up his evening when he said, ‘““My favorite part was when everyone used a palm tree to limbo.” MAGAZINE 9 DIAPERS TO DIPLOMAS earbooks histori- | page takes you back fur- cally have been a | ther than just a simple means for looking glimpse at their last year in back into the past.

The tree that was probably in mind during the writing of this song was most likely a tall, beautiful, pine tree nv ain a 3-7 Above—The epitome of Christ- mas decor. The purple palm tree given to Mr. Grant by his calculus class. decorated with lights, tin- sel, and colorful orna- ments. So, this must be the average Christmas tree that is sung about every year at Christmas time. But what happens around Whitko during Christmas time? What kind of Christ- mas trees would Old St. Nick expect to find there? What? You say the normal Christmas tree at Whitko is a five foot three inch art instructor? That may not sound like a normal Christmas tree, but what is so normal about Whitko? Not much. The fact is life at Whitko probably isn’t the norm and neither are their Christmas ceremonies. It’s tradition during these con- vocations to sing ‘“‘Oh Christmas Tree’’ while decorating Mr. Malicki, the art instructor, with branches, blinking lights, and ornaments. Finally, when the last piece of tin- sel is in place, they plug Mr. Malicki in, to the cheers of the audience. This isn’t the only strange tree that can be found at Whitko. The Calculus class donated an inflatable, pur- ple palm tree to the math department. It was deco- rated and displayed in Mr. Grant’s (who is head of the math department) room. Hopefully, this will catch on and be another longlast- ing tradition. Since Santa Claus prob- ably can’t find a chimney to come down to leave pre- sents at Whitko, he prob- ably wouldn’t expect to find much of a tree. But just like Santa, we have our ways of making do and if that means putting pre- sents around a purple palm tree or your art instructor, so be it. Above—“Oh Christmas tree how lovely are your ... arms?” Mr. Malicki poses as a Christmas tree. Left—Senior Louis Yingst has a solemn moment at the Christ- mas program. MAGAZINE 11 Pregnancies this year will re- sult in faculty being gone partially or permanently next year. Such faculty members are business in- structors Mrs. Coats and Mrs. Beagley and guidance counselor Mrs. Imhoff. JAREERS CONCLUDE V This year will be easi- er to prove than next, that it has been more than just an- other school year. It was not so much because of the events but by those who made them possible. It was not because of where or when but because of whom. This year was special be- cause of the people. The list of those who made this year special was long, unfortunately that list shall be smaller as of next year. For one reason or an- other some of our faculty shall not return. First we have our “for one reason or another” people, who won’t be with us next year. These faculty mem- bers are English instruc- tors Mrs. Reiff and Mrs. Zogagi, Choir director Mrs. Wion, French instructor Mrs. Graham, PE instruc- tor Ms. Argerbright, and Athletic Director Mr. Hathaway. 12 FACULTY We also had a would-be hasta luego faculty mem- ber, who in her first year as Spanish teacher here at Whitko was even given a After sixteen years of dedi- cated work as a Librarian for this school system, Mrs. Kessie is re- tiring. She came here in 1970 farewell party under the impression she was leaving us. That was not the case, so Ms. Virgil will be return- ing next year. when Whitko was still known as the South Whitley High School. We wish her a very wonderful life. Bon Voyage!

Actually, several ladies in red appeared prom night, along with a few Scarlets. SENIORS r Vhe Whitko class of 1987, just like other zraduating classes, had meetings to decide colors, flowers, and most of all to be persuaded by salesmen from mug companies, pho- tography studios, an- nouncement companies, cap and gown agencies, and senior key companies. Mainly, each one asked for your (or your parent’s) money. Then, in the end, try to receive money from announcements to cover Senior class officers—Treasurer Nancy Huston, President Ron Betts, Vice-President Stacey Duggins, Secretary Donna Love. na HOME WILDCATS HITKO 1 SCHOOL OF THE iain ¥ on he. = . te a . : MA sgl Fe a] ea y APR as The Money and Times the senior debt. This may sound depress- ing, but it’s true. Being a senior is expensive, not to mention confusing, frus- trating, but the best time ever had in high school. But, money isn’t every- thing. To be asenior means to be influential to under- classmen and greatly influ- enced by decisions for the future. It’s a time when senioritis kicks in, and high school becomes somewhat trivial but more fun. To be a senior also means to get more ornery because you know you're out in a few weeks (the days are count- ed down in senior hall.) When the caps are finally thrown, it means this four year party is over, but life’s party has just begun.

Boy it feels good to finally graduate. David Irwin’s smile says much about that good feeling. Right—“Ah geeze, another hand shake.” Valedictorian Louis Yingst issued a challenge to the class, a challenge “to branch out from the safe haven in which we have existed for eigh- teen years, to seek out new things, to attempt the previously unaccomplished, to persevere in our efforts to leave our mark as a generation upon the history of this nation.” Below—Hang on to it; you know the importance of that red booklet.

With | this in mind, and after having the tickets bought and buses re- served, the class traveled to King’s Island for a special senior night and morning, for buses re- turned at 4:45 a.m.! TRESTLE TRADITION n every school, seniors have traditions that each senior class keeps alive. One of the most unique senior traditions of Whitko is the painting of the trestle in Collamer. For years, seniors have taken a day or two to get together and paint their grafitti over last year’s senior names. Indeed, not every school has a tradition such as this. Let’s hope that classes beyond 1987 will not let it die. Above—What a beautiful piece of artwork by the senior class to keep the tradition alive! Can you find the name of someone you know? Left—The road under the trestle also gets painted, al- though it doesn’t last as long. Here, Mike Kline and Adam Craig have left their mark of ’87. SENIORS 33 Congratulations Graduates! Charles A.

The classes are taught by trained teachers, and there is a book bill for each class. Other than those usuals, Whitko students have proved themselves academically with test scores as well as with scholarships and awards. “Last year, SAT scores were slightly below the national average but we are testing 47% of the students, many who are WORK, STUDY AND SO FORTH not planning to go toa four year college,” said guidance counselor Mrs. Imoff.

Left—Giving Mr. Forsberg their rapt atten- tion are freshmen Mike Mitchell and Rhonda REQUIRED CLASSES: FOUR YEARS OF “I HAVE TO TAKE...” ll of the students had to take | yl at least one required class for credit this year. Seniors and juniors had to accumulate at least 32 credits, comprising of a minimum of six credits in English, two credits in mathematics, two credits in science, two credits in government, a credit in health and safety and a credit in phys- ical education, plus sixteen additional credits from electives. Sophomores and freshmen were re- quired to have at least 38 credits to graduate. They had to take the same classes as juniors and seniors, plus two ‘more credits in English, two in math, two in science and one in computer literacy. The English department offered a wide variety of courses to choose from and was staffed by Mr. McManama, Mrs. Reiff, Mrs. Kelsay, Mrs. Zogagi and Mr. Cherry. In grammar class the students learned to diagram sen- tences, write effectively and memo- rize vocabulary words. Some students were even given the dubious honor of writing themes (kinda makes the knees shake, huh?). In literature class students studied poems, short stories and novels. In speech, juniors gave oral reports, demonstrations and pan- tomimes. In college composition sen- iors learned to write research papers and essays. The math department offered classes for many different levels of math- ematical ability. Mr. Begley taught fundamental skills in mathematics, which explained the basic functions of math; and pre-algebra, an introduc- tion to algebraic principles. Mr. Shultz instructed students in applied math, which introduced the princi- ples of algebra and showed how math is used in the world; and Algebra II, which covered the polynomials, linear equations and radical expressions. Mr. Yeager taught geometry, where students began to do proofs and learned formulas for various shapes; and Algebra II, in which students work with complex numbers, calcula- tors and weird things such as hyper- bolas and parabolas. And Mr. Grant, who reigned as mathematical King, taught Albegra II; college algebra and trigonometry, where students feasted their brain cells on meals like analytic geometry based on vector algebra (yum, yum), logarithms and circular Lysaght in Biology I. functions; and calculus. The last of the three “biggies” was sci- ence, and Mr. Dasbach, Mr. Hunt and Mr. Forsberg made up the science de- partment this year. They taught Biol- ogy I, which was recommended for all leaf and insect collectors; Biology II, recommended for future surgeons; ap- plied science, which covered the mod- ern applications of science; chemistry, where students studied the periodic table and the chemical and physical change of matter; physics, which cov- ered the relationship between force and motion, electricity and magne- tism, and things like that; and ad- vanced science investigations. United States history was a required course for juniors. It was taught by Mr. Dilling, Mr. Lopshire and Mr. Moyer, and was designed to give the student a comprehensive understand- ing of the unique social, political and economical developments in our na- tion’s history. U.S. government was instructed by Mr. Moyer and Mr. Lopshire. It was the only class seniors had to take, and it dealt with the U.S. Constitution and the federal, state and local governments.

The three-day trip started with a tour of the park, guided by Ranger Rick, alias “Stubby.” Then a campfire meeting was held to discuss upcoming events, followed by a night hike led by Mr. Hunt. The next day was mainly comprised of class sessions. In the morning, the campers went to the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore visitors’ center. After that, Mr. Hunt led a group to Mt. Tom. Meanwhile, Mr. Malicki en- couraged campers to draw their im- pression of the dunes, and Mr. Fors- berg taught dune succession. On the third day, the campers helped clean up the park. Then they were bused to Mt. Baldy, where they per- formed various acrobatic feats. Some campers even tried to sand-surf, but to no avail. Overall, many of the students enjoyed the scenery of the park. Their contact with nature helped them appreciate their surroundings, and they also learned that it is their responsibility to take care of the environment. STAR TREK XXIX: THE SEARCH FOR CALCULUS WB Vbe word calculus comes from the Latin word calculatus, which means “to determine by mathematical process.” Upon entering this class, one would most likely expect to see several students hard at work on a mathematical equation. To tell the truth, that does happen fairly often. But the prerequisites for the class seem to be having a vast knowledge of Star Trek, owning a non-functioning ‘calculator and being able to give and receive put-downs. Besides integration and differentiation, the main topic for discussion in calculus is Star Trek. A student could be heard saying he thought Spock showed emotion in the last episodes. Promptly thereafter the females in the class would turn up their noses to the discussion as Kathy Pfleiderer states, “Oh my gosh! Not Star Trek again!” The second requirement for entering this class is owning a non- functioning calculator or not owning one at all. One working calculator is the most you will ever find there. Often Richard Lysaght could be seen racing to the nearest trash can vowing to throw his calculator away, only to be restrained by one of the other students. Often Delaine Due would be at the rescue, offering the use of her T.I. Knowing exactly how to sling a good put-down is another important aspect of caluclus. When Marlo Muraski first entered class, Mr. Grant made the students promise not to pick on her for a week or two. Louis Yingst always seemed “poised” and “ready,” not only to find the anti-derivative of a certain function but also to say, ““Why don’t you stand up and let the blood flow to your brain?” Even with all the hard work, these students find ways of having fun. Mr. Grant, calculus guru, challenged the minds of the students and offered a very humanistic side of teaching. Far left—Working carefully, seniors Bryan Sherwin and Mark Koontz experiment for their ASI project. Left—Mary the mouse is being displayed by senior Tammy Grandstaff, MASI student.

Lower left—With an omnipotent and benevolent smile, calculus guru Mr. Grant poses with seniors Louis Yingst, Richard Lysaght, Kathy Pfleiderer, Delaine Due and Marlo Muraski. ASI, MASI: A NEW SPICE V Vne advanced science investigations and math and science investigations classes are, to put it simply, different. For example, the MASI room has a strange label: “MASI LAB: Enter at own risk! Attack mice!” It also has a weird setup consisting of computers to the right, cages to the left and equipment everywhere. The teachers are even different. Mr. Dasbach, ASI instructor, ran for a political office, but did not win because he became tired (from running). Mr. Yeager, MASI coordinator, is the computer man (he only needs one in his truck). And Mr. Hunt, the other MASI advisor, has many stuffed animals in his room. How many teachers have the qualifications of that trio? ASI and MASI were created to serve the purpose of allowing students to further their knowledge in one or more subjects. And this is the first year for the classes, so mice had to be ordered. After all, no one would have ever heard of Dr. Frankenstein if it weren’t for his monster. Because they are different from ordinary classes, ASI and MASI have added new spice to this school. Face it: things aren’t so boring. These are definitely two things that aren’t average.

FRENCH: A CULTURAL EXPERIENCE V This year the French classes ex- perienced many activities con- cerning the French language and culture. All of the French classes have one main goal: the conjugation of verbs. This becomes a very tedious task day in and out, but by the end of the year, after all of the drills, the stu- dents discover they really have learned something. At times, the classes take a break from their every- day routines and experience some- thing different. While in French, the students learn about French cuisine and everyday French customs. The students also learn how to speak in French dialogue and sing French songs. The person responsible for all the ac- tivities of the French Club is Mrs. Margaret Graham. She should be highly commended for her determina- tion and caring for the students. When asked about this year, Graham stated, ‘“This year has been one of the most interesting and challenging years of my life! It has been a privilege to work with the students in French. They have been courteous, respectful, fun-loving and eager to learn. I’ll al- ways feel extremely grateful for this teaching year.” 48 LANGUAGE ART BUSINESS SHINY _poonnecinstnemnenosteanscactssecinstaiocinonneakonshaicasian ee JOURNALISM: A CLASS —— AND A BUSINESS lf This year the journalism class, under the direction of Robin Reiff and Maria Kelsay, met many deadlines throughout the year to produce the school newspaper, the WILDCAT WORLD, and the year- book, SPECTRUM. Journalism class is one of the most involved classes anyone could ever undertake. Journalism is not just a class, it is a business and an exper- ience of what real life is like. A student in this class is not only a student, he or she is also a proprietor in this small business. The business earns all of its own funds by selling advertisements and year- books. During the year, the students learn how to manage this money. They undertake many responsibilities to turn out nine issues of the WILD- CAT WORLD and develop nearly 150 pages of the SPECTRUM. No business ever runs smoothly with- out good leadership. Therefore the journalism class wishes to thank advi- sors Robin Reiff and Maria Kelsay for all of the help they have given. The class would also like to thank Delaine Due, the yearbook editor, and Gwena Walker, newspaper editor. Without the determination and effort of these people, none of the students’ accom- plishments would have ever fallen into place. q Aare ART CLASSES: ANOTHER hitko has one of the best art OF CREATION 1 departments around, a fact that is reinforced by the many awards won by the art students. In art class, the students learn to draw, paint and sculpt, to name a few. This year the art department decorat- ed the band trailer. It also went to several contests, where the students were judged on their work. Discussing the social and economic impact of the recent stock market boom, senior Randi Xi ntigh, senior Monda Sievers, junior Tim Kas- verday, and junior Chad Collier take a break ‘rom Studio Art. Actually, the group called shemselves the Knights of the Square Table and often did their best to “burn” people with witty remarks. gs Mr. Malicki taught the art classes this year. He inspired creative thought in classes such as Art I, 3-D design, drawing and painting, studio art and advanced studio art. Left—Making pinatas is a blast for sopho- mores Ronda Weisehan, Ithica Silveus, Sa- mantha Cassel and Sonja Perry in Spanish II. Far left—School finally got to senior Scott Striggle as he busts loose in art class. Senior Debbie Reid decided she had nothing to do with Scott. Lower Right—Using her tongue to help her type, freshman Theresa Hines works quickly in Keyboarding. The school required all freshmen, starting from the graduating class of ’89, to take this class. SPANISH: THE ROAD TO FLUENCY Viom the first day when stu- § dents nervously said their names, Spanish class became a hard, but interesting journey. Stu- dents felt transported to distant lands as they learned about the Spanish lan- guage and the people who speak it. Miss Virgil guided the Spanish classes this year. She helped the journeyers avoid the pitfalls of faulty pronunci- ation and incorrect conjugations. She also gave them Spanish names, led in singing Spanish songs and played games like Bingo and De Donderes to make the learning process more en- joyable. BUSINESS: FOR CAREER AND MONEY wide variety of business } courses was found at Whitko this year. Mrs. Begley taught Shorthand, office machines, office procedures and computer literacy. Mrs. Coats taught keyboarding, busi- ness law, introduction to business and one semester of computer literacy. Mrs. Hoffer instructed students on accounting and typing, while Miss Thompson supervised the accounting, advanced accounting and basic office services classes. ACADEMICS 49 COMPUTERS: WAVE OF THE FUTURE “omputers are becoming an im- portant part of our future. Re- cently our school added a com- puter room, and the administration has required sophomores to take com- puter literacy and freshmen to take keyboarding applications. The school also has elective courses in structural basic programming and advanced programming. The computer room was a helpful ad- dition to our school, and Mrs. Begley and Mr. Yeager proved to be excellent teachers in this area.

ACADEMICS 51 52 D-WING HOME OF AG AND INDUSTRIAL ARTS esides learning how to draw pictures and jam on musical instruments, a wide variety of vocational and agricultural classes are offered in D-wing. This year, students had the opportunity to choose from more than ten agriculture classes and over fifteen industrial arts courses. Mr. McVay taught ten of the twelve ag classes—ranging from two classes of Vocational Agriculture to Horticul- ture to Farm Management. Mr. McVay was selected as the National Agriculture Teacher of the Year and Whitko High School is honored to have him as a part of the teaching staff. Although Mr. Hoopingarner taught a semester of Farm Electricity, most of his classes were composed of Woods I, II, and III; he also taught Architectur- al Drawing. Students tackled a num- ber of shop projects ranging from small plant stands to desks. The drafting students learned techniques used to draw floor plans as well as mastering their own skills. Probably one of the most painful things that happened in D-wing this year was when Greg Horton dropped a board on Mr. Sprunger’s foot. (What a way to impress a teacher!) Along with boards falling on his feet, Mr. Sprunger taught Small Engines, Drafting, and Weight Lifting. His Small Engines students learned how an engine operates and worked with lawn mower engines. Mr. Tumbleson instructed Welding I, II, UI, and IV; and Metals I, II, III, and IV. Tumbleson also taught one of the ag classes—Agricultural Power.

FALL PLAY INSANITY V Vne Drama Department presented another hilar- ious fall play this year. The Curious Savage was a de- lightful play about the residents of an insane asylum that brought many laughs. The dedi- cated cast and crew members stuck to a tight practice sched- ule every morning before school, and although it seemed tough at times, everyone did his part to put together an outstanding per- formance. Senior Carla Harmon summed it up when she said, “It was hard to get up in the morning and go to practice, but when we put on the play it was a lot of fun and well worth those early practices.” No one will forget the scenes that made them laugh, whether it was a planned insane mistake or an accident that was thought (by the audience) to be a part of the script. The cast takes a final bow for the audience. Besides high school students, some elementary children acted in the play. CLUBS 63 GREASE IS THE WORD hitko Drama Depart- ment was proud to present Grease, a musical that received excellent reviews from the audience.

But, field trips to Indiana- polis and the Ft. Wayne Art Museum helped to make up for the lack of the zoo trip. At Indianapolis, students spent time exploring the floors of the art museum, then went to Union Sta- tion for lunch before returning to school. In Ft. Wayne, students were able to see some of their own artwork displayed with other area students’ work at the museum where the Scho- Right—Art Club officers—Sponsor Mr. Ma- licki, Vice-President Deb Reid, President Les- lie Tenney, Secretary-Treasurer Terri Collier. lastic Art Show was held. The trip also included a visit to the Saint Francis Art Department. Several art students in Art Club this year were able to do artwork for the school and community groups. Among these jobs were the painting of the Whitko Band Trailer by Chad Collier, Delaine Due, Terri Collier, Stephanie Mundy, and Mr. Malicki. Rich Lysaght completed several signs for the school including the “Wildcat Country” sign at the gym entrance. Leslie Tenney made a visitors sign. | Senior Tony Kinney handles one of the most important volunteer jobs of being an escort.

When you consider that one of the FFA Spon- sors, Mr. Bill McVay, is the 1986 Na- tional Agriculture Teacher; you real- ize that the FFA couldn’t possibly have just another year. This year FFA’s highest state honor, The Hoosier Farmer Award, was bes- towed upon two Whitko seniors, Jim Eiler and Adam Craig. John Hawkins, Jarrad Lancaster and Jim Eile r attended the National FFA FFA SPEECH Convention in Kansas as recognition of their outstanding achievements. Louis Yingst won the Whitko Stock- man Contest for the third year in a row. The Livestock Judging Team, con- sisting of Penny Williamson, Doug Lehman, Steve Wilkinson and Stan Reiff, placed first in the county, sec- ond in the area and ninth in the state. In Baltimore at the Eastern National Livestock Competition, Steve Wilkin- son captured recognition as the fifth highest individual.

SPORTS ‘one year? | A Veins You couldn't ex- L pect our volleyball team, which had a 4-18 losing record last year, to have a good sea- )son this year. You also wouldn't “expect our football team, which couldn’t even get past sectional _last year, to go all the way to the top with an undefeated re- cord this year. Does all this mean that Whitko is just another _average school Or, will we ac- -complish something really big Helping to win another game for the mighty ’Cat’s undefeated season is junior Steve Espin- oza, running against Tippy Valley. In the back- ground is 11, senior quarterback Mike Kline. Average or Unique? That is the Question. This was the year. The volleyball team about-faced their record into an 18-10 victory season. And, the mighty football team caught on fire and blazed their way to becoming the 1986 2A State Champions with a 14-0 record. The question of Whitko having a good year in sports was an- swered by the many successful seasons experienced by our teams this year. So, perhaps we aren’t such an average, non-dis- cript school after all. Maybe we actually have one of the best and most unique schools around! UNM SPORTS 85 HAH ‘ ummer, that’s where cross- country has its beginning. Run- XR ners putting in lots of miles over the summer, it’s what makes a successful cross-country season. Two weeks before school starts Coach John Mohr calls his first practice. The run- ners are gathered around the track all bearing T-shirts of road races they ran during the summer in preparation for the season. Coach Mohr then hands down his rul- ing of what torturous practice lies ahead. “O.K. guys you’re going to go to Collamer, turn right at the second right, and then come back.” With a few groans Whitko’s Harriers hit the road. Three weeks later, the meets be- gin. The competition is fierce, but it always is. Everyone is trying to reduce their time on the 3.1 and 2.6 mile courses. Syncronization!

Everyone arrived on the tennis courts with their summer tans and racquets as this years new Coach, Richard Yar- nell, discussed with the players his an- ticipations for the season. Practice continued, the first match was at hand, and the season was underway. Losing their first five matches was no damper on their team spirit for they came back and won the next three but, were defeated in their final three matches of the season. Soon the day of sectional was at hand; they loaded onto the bus and drove to Fort Wayne only to discover the match had been cancelled because of the rain. After returning home again, they were informed that the match had been called on. They boarded the bus, for the second time, and arrived in Fort Wayne for their match. But, the second time was not a charm for the Netters, for they were defeated in their first game against Norwell by a score of 1-4. The Netters ended their season with a record of 3-8 winning one more match than last year. At the fall athletic ban- quet, honors went to Don Gilson, M.V.P., and Garth Jenkins, Most Im- proved. Coach Yarnell commented, “I saw vast improvement from all the boys, that goes for the top players and for the lower players. I think we were a lot better than our record shows. We lost several matches that could have gone either way.” Get Back! Senior Don Gilson returns a serve to a tough West German exchange student from Columbia City.

PEOPLE 129 FRESHMEN: A NEW BEGINNING V Vne beginning of the year, time for students to shed their bathing suits and don the fa- miliar school clothes. For freshmen, the first day brought mixed emotions. Some freshmen worried about finding their classes and soon discovered they could locate them quickly and easily. Others such as Angie Leiter com- mented, “It’s kind of confusing,” and had to ask the upperclassmen where certain classrooms were. Several of the freshmen’s other fears were unfounded, as they soon discov- ered. One of these fears was of upper- classmen and the treatment they would receive from them. The upper- classmen didn’t behave too badly be- cause they know how it feels to be a freshman. They also acted friendly perhaps trying to make the freshmen feel at ease. In fact, quite a few fresh- men made junior and senior friends. A few freshmen found the day to be exciting, while others found it to be tiresome. Angie Crawford stated, “It was boring,” while Travis Bowers commented, “It will probably be one of the most exciting days of my high school career.” Many freshmen also said that high school was better than middle school. They had more classes to choose from and more extra-curricular activities to | participate in. No matter how upperclassmen felt as freshme n or how some freshmen feel | this year, all of them had first day jit- | ters, and the freshmen of coming years will probably feel exactly the same way! Freshmen Angie Eberly, Todd Darley, Anne Earnhart, David Gable, Tom Wright, and Kimm Mundy show their true friendship while adding the final touches to the freshmen Homecoming float. From top to bottom the freshmen class offi- | cers are President Laurie Thompson, Vice President Bill Meade, Secretary Tom Wright, and Treasurer Julie Brown. 130 FRESHMEN “When you need a friend, you can lean on me.” That’s the phrase that Theresa “T”’ Hines, and Anne Farnhart are singing.
