Girls no longer have to wait by the phone for that "Special Someone" to call or sit at home on a Saturday night because they remain dateless. Likewise, boys no longer need to spend weeks of hard earned money for their dates, The Eighties have arrived! Throughout the years, the attitude toward teens dating has changed. Unlike the old days of the SO's and 60's, the 80's girl has no fear of asking a guy out. The guys no longer ha\(e to make all the plans or the first moves, so they feel less pressure. Twenty years ago, girls expected guys to pay for the dates. Now the girl often offers to pay for the date, or the couple goes dutch. If the couple desires to feast at a nice restaurant or attend a school dance, the costs add up. By splitting the cost, the couple can afford special activities, while both contributing to the relationship. In the past years, not a guy or girl dared to stay home on a Saturday night-"Date Night." It proved deadly if a person remained dateless. At the present time, the weekend allows kids to "Hangout" or "Cutloose" either with buddies or out on a date. Dates do not occur on a set night anymore, but rather when the couple can afford to go out! Not having a boyfriend or girlfriend presents few problems since people seem to like being free and choose to hangout in large groups, instead of clinging as couples. The 80's brings less pressure to have a boy-girl friend relationship than before. Throughout the years, attitudes towards J 6ludenls. friends And many of life's aspects, including dating have Sharing special moments can be as changed. Showing more equality in relation- simple as five minutes spent at ships, no longer do girls depend on guys for the chemistry homework, or as compli• first move or for the expenses of the dates.

As the bell for the next class sounds, students depart from their confined classrooms and emerge into the hallways, congregating with friends they've seen just the period before. Only a precious five minutes remain for brief conversation with classmates travelling in the same direction. However, having friends with whom to share those few moments greatly enriches that time. Friendships, an integral part of high school, provide students the environment in which to grow not only academically, but socially as well. Whether in the cafeteria, resource centers, or the Oakton Lobby, friends always talk jovially to one another. On one of those off days when the sun doesn't shine or studying all night does not pay off for an exam, and everything else simply goes every which way but the way intended, knowing there is a smiling friend to reach out to provides comfort and encouragement. When entering high school as freshmen, students felt everything loomed big and foreign in front of them. The older students had already established their positions and identities, leaving the freshmen feeling a bit insecure about where they stood. But during that first day, students made new acquaintances which soon developed into lasting friendships, creating memories of never-to-be-forgotten happy times and not so happy times. Treasured moments and treasured memories are synonymous with friendships. Returning to school after long vacations and weekends becomes easier and a little less foreboding knowing expeditions and experiences can be shared with friends. As the number of days until graduation dwindles, the realization that friends will soon embark on their separate paths becomes more and more of a reality, and they find saying good-bye the hardest part of high school. Each becomes richer for having known the other person, for as the favorite movie "It's a Wonderful Life" stresses, "No man is a failure who has friends." Christina Gabriel A smile during a conversation can leave a lasting impression on a friend. Students often share simple moments that add up to lasting relationships. 8ensalional 8ummer he last bell of the school year rings, and suddenly, the summer begins. An indescribeable sense of freedom overwhelms students, and with their free time during the summer, they relax and forget about everything associated with school. For many people, this includes friends, too. When the summer break begins, most students do not disregard their friendships, but extend them to new and exciting summertime experiences. A chemistry study group may turn into a beach party; a filmstrip becomes a trip to a film festival; a few lunch mods become a day at the Taste of Chicago; or a gym period becomes a volleyball game at the park. Though not as simple as seeing friends at school everyday, making summer plans often provides richer experiences with friends to cherish always. T .

Walking through our carpeted hallways, one can't help but see the social groups that make up the diverse population of Niles West, each with its own unique hair style, dress code, taste in music, behavior or some combination of the above which distinguishes it from the rest.

The I 960's were a time of rebellion against authority and establishment, but they were also a time when teenagers had fun and sometimes upset the status quo just for the thrill of it. Some students in those days believed a thought commonly held at the time: nature cannot 12 Mini Mag ----· Freshmen get involved in the school scene right away with elections in the fall.

In fact, it seems our generation will go to any means to improve appearance. Students even take steroids to accelerate their natural development. The mirror is also back in style. Girls and boys alike spend quite a bit of time checking their appearance, practicing smiles. What really distinguished stu- dents of that era from other groups was their tendency to have an opinion about everything and to be outspoken about those opinions. For instance, during a teacher's strike, the students who supported the teachers would join them in the picket lines. Three years ago when the teachers picketed here for higher wages, no citings of concerned students were reported, and the overwhelming response of students was one of delight: an extra vacation - what a nice treat! As for political involvement of students nowadays, there is considerable interest in the national elections, but less in local politics. Some students worked this past fall for republican and democratic campaigns. For the election of members of the school board, which affect students' lives more immediately, however, there is much less inclination to be involved. Perhaps the students' greatest concern was the war in Vietnam. They generally shared in the view that the United States had no business being in the war. But whatever opinion they held, their concern and awareness caused them to be confused and disillusioned. These thoughts were reflected in their writings and artwork collected in OPUS 1, which is now known as West of Edens. Underground newspapers also emerged at this time and were about the length of our present West Word issues. Some similarities in the spirit of those journalists and authors of papers such as SPLAT! reflect the desire to give extra opinions on current events. Just as students in those days had opinions for almost every subject, so were they interested in almost everything. Religion and race were not things taken into consideration as much as they are now, with the popularity of ethnic clubs and Bible study groups. Nevertheless, in such a diversely populated high school, most students find "Underground newspapers, the predeces- sors to SPLAT!, emerged at tl]is time." common interest with people of differing races and religious beliefs, and many students date people of other backgrounds. As for disturbing the status quo, students then perhaps had more threatening restrictions to battle than today. For instance, there was a strictly enforced dress code which require boys to wear slacks and button-down shirts and girls to wear blouses and skirts which reached below the knee. Girls would not be allowed to come to school wearing pants, until a plan was devised by the student body. Through announcements in the underground newspaper, a day was designated when all · the girls were to come to school wearing pants. Many did, and because it would be absurd to send home nearly half the student body, they were allowed to stay, and the restrictions began changing to the students' favor. These days, the battles are fought through the student senate. No individual groups seem to take the initiative in continued ... �fighting a restriction, though the walkman movement was begun by complaints and editorials written by students.

In short, there seems to exist more of a sense of school spirit through everything that is done. Mikhail Lyubansky There exists far less oppression and reason for anger for students today than there was twenty years ago. Though we are products of a different era, students nowadays share in many ways the spirit of students twenty years ago. We emulate them quite often, wearing tie dye shirts, torn jeans, looking very much like "Dead heads," and we enjoy the music that they . created.

Inspiration is all one needs to open himself to billions of possibilities. School has been established to provide the necessary inspiration. It introduces students not only to knowledge but also to other people and interests. Seniors often look back to their years at West and wonder why they didn't do certain things, many times regretting opportunities passed. But because of their somewhat developed maturity, seniors also look back and realize how many things they have accomplished, and how much they have enjoyed themselves. A simple comparison between N the attitudes of people who participate in activities can be made, for instance. Freshmen love to participate in clubs to be "in the crowd," sophomores participate passively, juniors because they begin to realize how good it would look on their transcripts, but seniors through the years have grown to truly care about the organizations and the people in them. They have broken from the crowd and become individuals, doing it all because they realize their presence makes a difference. It is an arrogant, yet humbling mindset, since along with individuality comes responsibility. It is a mindset that may be applied to all facets of life, especially in high school.

They know that seniors are all talk and no action. Juniors, however, do have a slight sense of admiration for their fellow upperclassmates. Seniors exhibit a feeling of freedom as they "float" through their last year at West with a carefree attitude; they stand ready to take a step h igher in life, and ready to respond to different experiences regardless which path of life they choose. On the whole, juniors and seniors consider each other friends, sharing mutual admiration. Toward the end of the school year, the groups become even closer, as the juniors learn the tricks of the trade to becoming "perfect" seniors. Eventually, the "Empire" is handed down to the new group of classmen who, like their senior friends, try to appear as the dominant force in the school.

It also dries our clothing and our hair and cooks our food . Without heat, many things would be impossible. Most people can't tolerate the thought of an ice age in which there would be no spring or summer trips to the hot sands of Florida. Heat caused by the sun means summer, tanned skin, and no school, and these in turn represent relief to every burned-out, almost-crazed student longing for a time to experience non-thought-requiring activities. Towards the end of the school year, in late May and early June, a time T when the brains of students have reached the "relief needed" level, heat also causes a slowdown in academic production. Summer means a vacation for thought cells, and the school suddenly fills with sweaty, zombie-like students. An immediate remedy for heat exhaustion is a cool atmosphere. A few years ago, this cure was "attempted." The goal: keep the building cool; the method: blocking up half the windows in the school. The students still feel the results: less air circulation, less sunlight, and more need to keep doors open to create a draft in the class. Of course, these procedures brought on growing complaints of noisy hallways, so the halls were closed, NO WAY OUT. The sweltering heat is not outside, but inside the building, causing these students to race for the door. Enjoying the unusually warm. fall weather is one thing, but Senior Hak Kang imagines himself in the jungle, swing from vine to branch. 16 Mini Magazine causing more people to flock to places like the over-crowded cafeteria, which, in turn, caused more gathered heat and more unrest among students. An additional remedy for noisy halls appeared suddenly over one summer: the infamous carpeting. One can only wonder of what synthetic fibers that turf consists, but it certainly has the capacity to trap heat and especially humidity. Apparently, the decisions made many years ago have not only not solved the problem, but have also caused more problems. Overall, the students have been left to suffer the heat from both Mother N ature and the angry faculty (the latter having few complajnts about the heat because the teacher's lounge is air-conditioned). Niles North students enjoy the same comforts as our teachers, since t heir school is air conditioned. So, it seems that West students are being denied the privileges the faculty and Northerners are granted. Hmmmm. Can these be causes for revolution? " The needs of the Westerners vs. the satiated faculty and Northerners." Well, those oppressed may rise up! but maybe when the heat cools off a bit.

Students enjoy all seasons because each one provides its own character and activities. Many students prefer summer because it serves as a two and a half month vacation from school. Others enjoy the brisk weather and outdoor sports of winter. Spring and fall provide a " hap- py medium" between the warmest and coldest periods in the yearly cycle. Fashion, clothing, and style also vary as the weather changes. In the winter, wornout brown leather jackets, warm furry mittens, and heavy wool sweaters become a must. Spring time offers the opportunity to begin wearing outrageous hot pink t-shirts, white cotton pants, lighter-weight windbreakers, and docksiders (without socks, of course!) By the time summer arrives, skimpy neon bathing suits, khaki shorts, and revealing tank tops prevail. Fall clothing consists of blue denim jackets, ripped, washed-out jeans, and long-sleeved plaid flannel shirts. No matter what the weather, sweatshirts always provide an easy solution to the morning quandary of what of wear. Whether the temperature soars to 90 degrees or takes a dip toward the zero mark, students wear colorful sweatshirts. Some advertise a well-known college such as Kansas with its red, yellow, and blue Jayhawk; others indicate patronage at the Hard Rock Cafe and Ed Debevics.

Cultural interest don't always reflect students talents. Sitting in a theater with a bag of popcorn and a Diet Pepsi provides many people with all the entertainment they need. For simple amusement, reruns of "M.A.S.H." entertain and relax many students.

Score one for fun and parties, but homework involves a different story. Many underclassmen don't realize that seniors have to do homework. Unfortunately, senioritis, the common · slump of not doing homework, affects upperclassmen at various time of the year. Senioritis prevails as a deadly component of a senior's life. He must keep his grades up, especially if he has received acceptance to a college because the college representatives will contact the student's counselor for grades. If the grades are not average or better, the student will receive a warning from the college; two or three warnings constitute termination of acceptance. The student then has little chance of applying to and receiving acceptance from another school. Even a junior, who wishes to remain anonymous, says she feels senioritis hitting her early in the year. So beware senior and underclassmen - senioritis may strike anyone, and the results can be fatal!

To them, their high school days seem endless as time drudges on. However, when the end of the year nears, students think fondly and a bit sadly upon the memories of friends and special moments. For the first time, they must face the prospect of saying good-bye to close friends who will be going their separate ways. Saying good-bye, though necessary, often proves to be a very sorrowful experience and never easy. Regardless of time or circumstances, good-byes are always hard to express and never fail to sound so final. But good friendships should last forever, making good-byes not permanent, but merely temporary farewells. While seniors enjoy their remaining days at Niles West, they feel happiness at completing this chapter of their lives, and also a touch of melancholy for the friends they shall leave behind.

Positive rewards such as sharing experiences and motivating others go with membership. W,hether putting on a play or scoring the winning touchdown, as a team, students work together and achieve their goals. Recalling her experiences as a cabinet member, sophomore Terri Wawrzyniak explains, "A chance to get to work with my friends and to help plan activities, I get a feeling of accomplishme nt when activities are successful." In addition, active students find that participation helps them to develop a sense of commit- ment. According to senior Andy LaLiberty, " In a club you're depended on. If you play trumpet in the band and don 't show up, then the entire band is affected. The commitment prepares kids for life and the job world."

Students take a national examination sometime in May; resulting scores of 3 out of 5 or higher usually qualify for credit. Students take AP courses for many reasons. These courses cover subjects in greater depth, allowing the students to learn more. Also, students may save money and time by earning college credits. Though many students often wonder how they will live through t he two weeks in May during which AP exams occur, those who put fourth an effort and succeed in an AP class are usually well-prepared and receive a high score.

In order to have success in this special program, students must change their lifestyles through learning proper exercise and eating habits so that when they lose weight, they can keep it off forever. To do this, they must first have the motivation to want to change themselves. The Physical Management program began in a school system in Wyoming and soon spread to every high school in that state. The high schools then began teacher workshops to introduce the program to the cou_ ntry.

Alison Presley explains, " I thought the class would be good for me because I need to learn how to lose weight by eating and exercising correctly." Sloan explains, "If a person really faces the facts of being overweight, has tried unsuccessfully to lose weight before, and is willing to put some effort into an eating and exercise plan, by all means, take Physical Management."

Grinding, grueling workouts fill countless hours in sweat-filled rooms, all in the pursuit of muscles. Every year both male and female students experiment with weight lifting in an attempt to develop "rock hard pees" for various reasons. As senior Richard Dubin explained, " I lessen the chance of receiving injuries while participating in athletics." Beginning go-getters, perform the lonely task in a basement with free weights and a cold bench. To find the equipment they lack at home, some independent lifters take their quest to health clubs which offer the advantage of working out with others to relieve some of the boredom. Whether as a necessity for self im- provement or to attract attention, lifters relentlessly pursue their goals. The "weight room addict" enjoys pumping iron to increase his weight. The health conscious weight lifter thinks only of becoming physically fit. "Mr. Macho" looks for new bulk to bring in " oohs and aahs," living on compliments on how good he looks, while never passing up an opportunity to flex or wear a tank top.

This does not ruin their year, of course, for they are too busy with the Mixer, dances and other parties to let this little comment destroy their egos. Still, being called a freshman is an annoyance most sophomores would like to do without. So woe to the upperclassman that calls a sophomore a freshman.

The sight projects a scene of confusionfriends finding friends, fire vehicles entering the lot, teachers trying to gain control until finally the bell rings, causing the unruly body of students and teachers to re-enter the building. This event witnessed by one and all, results from the fire alarm signaling all occupants to exit the building. Astonishment, fright and panic would affect most students and faculty if a fire actually struck. Therefore the fire drills and instructions posted in each classroom offer a sense of security as well as a chance for all to prepare for the possibility. Though a benefit for some students (a chance to miss class) and a nuisance for some teachers, fire drills are a necessary precaution. According to senior April Grandinetti, "They're necessary ... We have to be prepared for emergencies." �Gazing at the art display showcase, sophomore students admire the work of fellow classmates.

It's A Little White Lie. No, It's A FAT Lief It begins as a feeling in the depths of the mind and slowly grows to a temptation. The brairi plays with it a bit, testing elasticity, then waits until t he perfect time has come to test it . When a situation arises in which one's abi lity to deceive may be flaunted, the enticement overcomes all veracity, and the result explodes in a big, F A T lie, which often grows into a catastrophi c myth. Who better at lying than West-goers? The " implication s of" a lie failing hard ly stand up to the "prospects of" a lie succeeding; who would pass up a chance to skip homework for an evening of NBC sit-com reruns, with the only restriction being to come up with a solid fib by the next morning? If t h e "Cosby Show" is on, the fib may be borrowed from t he Huxtable children, the typical teenagers, provided that one's teachers don 't enjoy these programs, too. With the first excuse, teachers are bound out of their compassion ate hearts to pass it off as a blunder, a mere case of amnesia, or even procrastination. The student is astounded by his ability to evoke pity in his teacher, yet vows never to repeat the deception. The person deceived is th e student, because he allowed moral weakness to overcome moral strength, unl eashing a monster of temptation. Soon after, the FAT lie grows into a William Perry-sized lie, and, with all that stuffing, it becomes impossible to distinguish between "truth and turkey." Not only will the lia r's walk become more like a boat ride in stormy weather, but he'll find tripping over his nose unavoidable . S ince lyi ng puts too much pressure on the heart, it seems foo lish to risk failure of t he cardiovascu lar system, just to watch "ALF " instead of doing geometry proofs. Commercials don't offer enough time t o get work done, and since skipping a few episodes won 't affect semester grades or transcripts, geometry becomes a wiser choice, if not for entertainme nt, at least for occasion al intellectual stimulation . Besides, footprints on one's nose really aren't very attractive.

This rationale led to changes in the assignment of locker locations. To many students, the new system, consisting of seniors on the first floor, juniors on the second floor, and sopho- · mores and freshmen on the third floor caused both concern and controversy. , Senior Lynn Pappas commented, "Most of my classes are on the first . floor so I don't have to travel as far; it shows seniors are dominating." However, Sophomore Colin Rothman remarked, "My homeroom is on the sec- ond floor, and my locker is on the third floor, so it makes it kind of hard to carry my books around all morning." Providing students with the opportunity to socialize with those of the same grade level and allowing extra room for more books motivated the change. The drop in student enrollment also gave students the opportunity to have their own lockers. The old system of locker assignment by homeroom seems better to some and worse to others, but when any method changes, some students usually disagree with the new way.

The Josten's jewelry man presents his product to interested and confused sophomores. Choosing just the right style, size, and inscriptions proves to be difficult decisions. However, the wide range of ideas in brochures given to the students make the choice a lot easier. Students may select decorations such as horoscopes, sports, and clubs for their rings. In addition, names can be inscribed on the outside or inside of their rings. Class rings may cost a lot but they provide a great way of remembering the school. Perhaps in t hirty years, while looking at a school ring, students will recall their fantastic high school years once again. Julie Kohl �The Joys Of Sophomore Cabinet Planning activities for fun and raising money for prom took top priority with sophomore cabinet members. Throughout the year they sponsored many activities including the frosh-soph mixer, nominations for Homecoming King and Queen, and sock-hop with a cop. At the beginning of each month these sophomores receive a calendar so they re- main informed. "Because all members have given up a great deal of time, we've been very successful," stated president Elliott Malkin. Everybody wanted active membership, and their sponsor Mr. Puff had provided necessary encouragement, by sacrificing precious time to help get things together. Hard working sophomores enjoyed their fun filled pursuit, and received the gratifying recognition they deserved, by the commendatory remarks of other students and teachers. Although cabinet members came across a few problems, like thinking of ideas for dances, they always found a way to solve them.

Student turn-out at football games increased considerabl y during the season. Getting Behind The Wheel Although freshmen don't look forward to the harder classes and additional homework of sophomore year, they do like one important benefit of the second year of high school. During sophomore year, almost all students turn fifteen, becoming eligible to take driver's education. In turn, they can get a driver's license, which seems to be the key to a whole new life for former freshmen. Sophomores cherish their driver's license because so many benefits accompany them. Generally, driving means freedom from both students and parents. Happy parents no longer have to act as taxi driver's, and happy students rejoice that parents no longer know every single detail of a night's plans. Driving means the ability to run to the store alone when an incredible munchies attack hits. Most importantly, driving introduces students to a new social life, and the whole world seems much more accessible with many interesting, yet far away places now within reach. The embarrassment of always getting dropped off everywhere just disappears. Driving proves that the student has definitely left freshman year behind, and has become just plain "cool". In some ways more important than a charge card, the plastic driver's license offers chances for many new experiences, all possible because of1 Driver's Education which most students consider the most desirable course in sophomore year.

Being t he youngest classmen freshmen get picked on a lot. Perseverance will pay off, though, and by th~ time they are seniors, the woes of freshman year will have been forgotten. Freshmen Social Circle Although years have passed since seniors arrived as freshmen, they still have memories of meeting interesting people in those first few days. Students quickly discover the great places high school has to offer where they can meet a variety of new friends. Freshmen can get to know people just like themselves at clubs, dances and after-school sports. As years, pass, students find additional activities that tempt them to join. In September, students make friends with people from various schools. Soon they walk down the long hallways of West with friends, hand-in-hand, in groups or alone. When hallways close from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., friends may gather in the cafeteria or the Oakton Lobby to gossip about things that happened that day or during the day. After-school, students meet at games or crowd into the cafeteria to talk about people they met that day. Some stay after school until the least possible moment to just find out about the latest gossip. Both upperclassmen and underclassmen agree that high school provides both places and opportunities to meet those new and interesting people who just may become their best friends.

Today I walk the long, dark corridors alone, as a freshman. I can clearly remember last year when my friends and I strolled down the hallways. All of the sixth and seventh graders would part from the middle of the hall and, with a dreamy gaze in their young eyes, wish that they could be eighth graders. I remember the good times we had when we picked on the seventh graders, chasing them down the halls. One time, a couple of the smarter seventh graders, ran into one of the ladies' washroom; that gave us a lot a laughs for · days to come. But now the tables are turned. All the seniors and juniors want to tease and pick on us, even tossing pennies at us. Yesterday as my friends and I quietly walked down the hall, a couple of juniors started poking fun at us, calling us "freshies," "little freshies!" This affected us in such a degrading manner that now I realize all the pain we had inflected on the poor little seventh graders. I hope this silly, ridiculous nonsense stops soon and that I grow up quickly so I can be a senior. Then I will fulfill my desire to make fun of the new freshmen. There is no substitute for concentration, and freshman Stanley Matz blocks out all the noise around him to study for his exam. Though sometimes a bore, study halls allow students a quiet area for doing work.

If the teacher notices, he does not comment. Joe gets away with cheating and may continue to cheat throughout his life. Situations like the one described have become a thing of the past, because a joint committee, composed of students, parents, teachers, and administrators from both North and West have established a new Academic Honesty Policy. Explaining in much greater detail than the previous policy exactly what does and does not constitute cheating, the policy lists seven examples of the ways to plagiarize, along with fourteen other violations. Academic Honesty Committee members from West that worked on the policy include graduate Meena Ravella, senior Leanne Statland, science teacher Dottie Fuigel, Spanish teacher Ed Murphy, parents Judy Elmer and Joan Gutterman, principal Donald Ring, and the committee chairman, John Lorez, director of administration at North. Classroom policies have already changed, as many teachers have rewritten tests to ensure that students can not obtain tests from older friends. Addi- tionally, the committee has created a special form for reporting infractions of the policy. Optimism shows in the attitude of all involved. " It gives students who want to be honest a peg to hang t hat desire on and something to point to. I feel it will be very effective," notes Gutterman. A new era of honesty draws near. The strict enforcement of t his policy should guarantee t hat students will be forced to study harder instead of taking an easy ride. Learning, after all, exemplifies the purpose of the school system.

What does a bored student do while sitting in study hall? Many students study, t he obvious choice, to minimize their homework load. Others use the time to catch up on sleep lost from stayi ng up too late to study the night before. If a student decides he wants to leave the study hall room, he finds many options from which to choose. The spacious, air-conditioned library suppl ied with books, magazines, and newspapers, provides a great place for students to get away from the crowded , hot study hall.

Freshman year is a time for getting set in new thoughts, writing habits, and comfortable writing positions! First Day Blues As the middle of Augusf rolled around, the thought of returning to school entered the minds of many students. The freshmen looked forward to a new beginning in a different school and an opportunity to meet new people. The sophomores were relieved to know that the term "Frosh" no longer applied to them. The juniors finally received the title upperclassmen, while the seniors reflected on thoughts of their final year at Niles West. On August 22 and 23 a special orientation provided freshmen with a firsthand look at the school and its curriculum. The rest of the school realized that the school year was to begin when they received their new schedules and notices to pick up their books. When students arrived at school on the first day, the talk was of tans, summer vacations and parties. Some stu- dents had difficulty finding their classes. Some freshmen even missed the first 10 minutes of homeroom while purchasing their very own elevator pass. By the end of the first day students knew that the school year had really begun when their teachers ended their classes by saying, "The homework for tonight ... " You know the rest.

Educational Encouragement They left the room stunned by the unbelievable discussion on "Bio Medical Ethics" they had just heard at Seminars for Scholars, a program which presents discussions on this and other complex and sensitive issues. Once a month, chosen seniors break away from their hectic schedule to participate in group lectures on topics such as the Politics of Television, the American Penal System, and the Future of Nuclear Energy. The Seminars for Scholars program encourages students to take action on challenging issues. Participants confront speakers, who are leaders in their fields, and also debate with fellow seniors. The exciting presentations, directed by Gerald Boevers and Tom McMahon, evoke many questions and heighten concern about the issues presented. By participating in Seminars for Scholars, students receive a deeper understanding of the issues debated.

Every spring, students meet with their counselors, who play an important part in helping students choose these classes. This process takes a lot of careful thought on behalf of both the student and the counselor in order to build schedules that meet both graduation requirements and prerequisites for college. "Our counselors make sure t hat we are taking the necessary requirements for that year, but it is really up to us to plan what we will be taking in the future," explains junior Laura Bourikas. Freshmen may have a hard time electing courses for their first year because of unfamiliarity with the system and the many requirements. Sophomores and juniors find less complication in making out their schedules because they know what to expect and can construct their schedules around required courses, such as U.S. History, Health, and Consumer Education. Although students find the selection of courses a long and tedious process, they soon discover that counselors act as friends in helping them make the right choices!

Students enjoy making (as well as eating) their creations. Making sure that homework is done, studen ts find time to share ideas before class.

Once again, the Oakton Lobby proves to be a perfect spot. Staff 103 �Excuses, Excuses Whimpering, whinning, and pleading, student excuses become more of a plea for forgiveness than an actual admission of forgetfulness. Every year, students come up with crazy excuses to give to their teachers, who usually trust the most inexperienced liars of all ... the freshmen. The following students describe their best excuses: "I was lost." - Steve Michaels "I asked for directions and some senior sent me in the wrong direction." - Miguel Ramirez "I couldn't open my locker because I forgot my combination." - Ryan Mollet "My mom ran out of diapers and used my homework as a substitute." - Erik Bauer On the receiving end, teachers have heard many bizarre excuses: "My father is an air traffic controller and he mistakenly sent the planes in the wrong direction. In the process, the plane crashed into our home and seven other houses, killing three families." Chris Fontana, Spanish. "I have my homework on my computer disk but the disk won't work in the computers here." Larry Broy, Physics. "My cat threw up on it." - Geri Nash, English. As the freshmen become sophomores, their devious plots fail because they realize that teachers put more emphasis on honesty than creativity.

Nash, English The Big Rush After weeks of putting off homework assignments and not studying for tests, students, once again, face the big rush at the end of the marking period. In the 6th week, students find themselves under more pressure than at any other time in the grading period. Not only do students have to get caught up, but they also must handle the extra work that teachers try to fit in. Soon, time usually wasted talking with friends in the cafeteria turns into time spent more wisely in the library. Students also talk less on the phone and watch less television during that last week because of the increased study time needed to achieve good grades. Wise students can avoid all the unnecessary hassle and pressure by preparing themselves earlier. Remembering that marking periods consist of six weeks rather than one week should help students to avoid the sixth week rush. Many students go through the big rush not realizing that the same grade could be achieved in an easier, less stressful way - by studying from week one!

People arrived through every possible entrance, and soon, the previously empty room lacked spacet: This event might have aroused curiosity in uniformed bystanders, but for those in attendance, this was a very important and rewarding night when all their scholastic accomplishments for that entire year would be acknowledged and commended - Awards Night! The program began with the Pledge of Allegiance, and then Mr. Geismann, the master of ceremonies, announced the Faculty Retirement Awards, many other faculty awards, and the scholarship awards for the seniors and juniors. As the night progressed, Edward Hirsh, the distinguished alumnus, talked briefly about his experiences at Niles West before he became a recognized poet. The sophomores were next to ascend the stage of the auditorium and receive their scholarship awards. Last, but not least, the nervously waiting freshmen finally made their way forward to their first award ceremony, hoping they would receive more awards in the years to come. The attention of the audience was recaptured by a display of colossal slides of students, while Expressions sang, accompanied by members of the orchestra. The same confusion that started the program, ended it as crowds of people, big and small, exited the auditorium and entered the reception in the cafeteria. Now, however, the recently acquired plaques, pins, and ribbons were the cause for the celebration.

', '\ ' Future Drivers Face Challenge Of Classroom, Range And Behind The Wheel Screeching tires and honking horns sound off in Driver's Education, a useful course which prepares sophomores and juniors to obtain their driver's licenses. The instruction includes three different areas-classroom, range driving, and behind the wheel. During classroom, the teacher provides filmstrips of driving techniques and teaches the causes of accidents, methods of preventing them, and the techniques of good, safe driving. Range instruction allows the student to try to master correct techniques and helps make the student less afraid of driving. At the beginning of behind the wheel instruction, a student drives on streets with little traffic. Eventually, the student drives to the 118 Driver's Education Elston Driving Test Center and even experiences the expressway. Students whose grades in both classroom and behind the wheel instruction average an A or a B, have a chance to take the driving test at school. Once the student has passed the course and obtained a driver's license, he can say goodbye to the yellow school bus forever. �Driving instructor Mr. Earl carefully observes the activity of his students on the range. 0 Learning proper driving techniques enables the student driver to become more aware of driving hazards.

Theater Workshop, a beginning class of drama and acting, gives students a chance to express themselves in ways not usually seen in every day life. Johnson teaches basic techniques in the acting process, requiring students to create many different characters. Freshm an Katherine Ripley states, "My favorite part of the class is when we get to pretend we are someone else or someone we want to be." In addition to the acting process, students also learn how to interpret a script using both voice and movement. "I try to teach the students how to make characters out of the words written on paper," explains Johnson. Other class projects include improvisations and other word games.

The course begins in the 60's and during the semester works its way up to the 80's. Beatles music dominates the first week. The second week covers the Vietnam War and its impact at home, a topic often neglected in U.S. History. Several field trips highlight the year. Students may attend the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the American Ballet Theater, the Lyric Opera House, and a musical such as "Hair". Most students enjoy the Humanities class. Senior Ryoko Yamaguchi summed up student response when she said, "We get a better knowledge of our past". Julie Kohl Nicole Price "When is our next field trip?" inquires senior Desey Tziortzis to her fellow classmate, Mike Spiropoulos.

The course covers a variety of subjects on force, gravity, motion, and other matters of physical science. Labs occur often, giving students some hands-on experience with the principles they learn about in lectures and textbooks. If a student loves cats and bees, however, he should think carefully about attendin g this class. Cruelty to and punishment of cats and bees are commonly mentioned in lectures. Students should also be warned about t he "shotgun quiz". This is a principle advocated by many teachers, but few quite as originally as Dennis Hoeppner, who provides the shotgun as well as the quiz. Many students describe the class as "entertaining" or "exciting". ,J unior ,Jean Lee states, "It's kind of hard, but we learn a lot."

The production for Children's Theatre, "Androcles and the Lion", entertained all who attended. I All()tller Success! I For over ten years, theater department students have been performing classic fairy tales through The Childrens Theater. Staff and students direct and perform different plays every year. In past years students performed "Hansel and Gretel" and "The Pied Piper". "Androcles and the Lion", this year's play tells a story of a man, Androcles, who pulls a thorn out of a Lion's foot. Children who attended enjoyed the play so much, they wrote letters of thanks to the cast. Cindy Philbin, director of "Androcles and the Lion", 168 Children's Theatre reported proudly that over 3000 kids came to watch these productions. The age of the audience ranges anywhere from kindergarten to fifth grade, and children from 50-60 different schools in Chicago and its' suburbs attend. "The plays have improved dramatically in the past ten years", exclaimed Philbin, "and I'm confident they will keep getting better." Even with a small cast, the Children's Theater has succeeded, and probably will continue to entertain kids of all ages in years to come.

In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday, guest speaker Russ Ewing spoke a few words of encouragement. Introducing the speaker, Arnold Agnos speaks highly of Russ Ewing's accomplishments. Agnos founded the Speaker of the Month program which brings prominent people to the school. I Russ Ewing spoke at an all-school assembly in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. His words of wisdom and life experiences truly touched West students and faculty. I I l-1is 1,utll ls Still 4lcirclli11~ 011 The uproar in the audit::,rium quelled, and as the lights dimmed, a spollighi followed a man of great stature as he ascended the steps to the stage. In introducing him, Arnold Agnos expressed the respect the speaker had earned for his truthful, concise reporting. When the speaker took his place at the podium, the auditorium filled with applause for the ABC news reporter, Russ Ewing. The assembly was a special program designed to commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the time of the observation of his 60th birthday. Russ Ewing had not only lived during the moment that began in the early fifties, but he was affected tremendously by it and by the life and pursuits of Dr. King. Though Mr. Ewing did not speak directly about King's life, he described his own life's experiences. Through such tales, Ewing not only captured the audience's attention, but also related 174 King Assembly Martin Luther King's influences on his life. Russ Ewing worked hard over the years to attain his position, and relied very much upon himself to succeed, using his natural ability and desire to help people and report honest news. His valiant efforts to coax would-be suicide victims and the crime suspects to listen to his advice, impressed upon the audience his sense of humanity and sympathy for living things, two trait which reflect Dr. King's influence on Ewing's life. The most dominant characteristic Russ Ewing impressed upon the audience came in the form of his civility and patience in an appeal to the students. Ewing rightfully boasted that had never smoked, drunk alcohol, or experimented with drugs, and challenged the audience to be patient and seek "natural" highs, though he gave an example of a material high which some observers did not agree with. Senior Frank Kim observed, "It was more like a sermon because it fired me up." Though most people believed Ewing did not adequately discuss King's life, they enjoyed the assembly; Jason Burk went so far as to say that he hadn't seen a better assembly in his four years at West, especially because of the way Ewing was able to handle the tough Niles West crowd. Perhaps that is the greatest influence Dr. King had on Ewing's life, his moving speeches. Ew,ing's tales were not of the horrors of a movement, but rather the result of his heeding the consequences of such horrors and doing everything possible to keep himself and others out of those situations. Russ Ewing is a strong, sensitive human being, one of many affected by the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. ·Nikoletta Antonakos �Posing a question to Russ Ewing, junior Leyla Arsan inquires on pertinent issues.

The annual Cherry Pie Contest provided competition, as well as entertainment for all involved. Beginning early in the day, partners met in the Home Ee. wing to begin the first step in the lengthy process. Fillings were prepared before students proceeded to the cafeteria, where crusts and decorations were created. Original decorations displayed a variety of personalities among partners. After baking, the taste test began. Judges endulged in eight slices apiece, evaluating each on taste, texture, and overall appearance. A junior/senior team consisting of Dana Mohrlein and Estelle Nikolakakis won first place in the competition receiving a plaque and cookbook.

But, it wasn't just the awesome seenery that captivated the audience. The excellent performances of the actors brought them several rounds of applause. The show opens with the stars Danny (Tim Queen) and S an d y ( M e 1in d a Hepner) reminiscing about their past summer together in the song, "Summer Nights." As the play continues Danny and Sandy's relationship dwindles as he goes to prom with another girl and she sits home singing "It's Raining on Prom Night." Gradually the two realize their differences and work to get back together ending the play on the high note of "We go together." Because of the talent of so many students, director Robert Johnson decided to provide a double cast for many of the characters. One cast performed on Wednesday and Friday, and the other on Thursday and Saturday. Johnson stated, "Working with a double cast is much more difficult than a single one. It's twice the work, but it gives more people an opportunity to participate. Each performance is different because each person developed his own character for the part."

Despite the cold weather, Nancy Penn gives it her all. It was a year of firsts for the girls varsity tennis team. In fact, about the only first they didn't accomplish was finishing first in the Central Suburban League. This year's squad was the first to compete at the varsity level in five years and they got off to a bang-bang start, beating crosstown rival Niles North 5-2 in their first meet of the season. They maintained a near .500 clip the rest of the way, ending the season at 5-6, fourth in the conference. The team did not have a set starting lineup but sophomore Yvette Gatilao, senior Nancy Penn, junior Mara Okmin , and freshman Terri Richardson usually played singles.

"I think the fact that he (Farrington) is a professional player really helped the team," said Alexander.

Such climactic wins spark teams to aggressively compete and assure a winning season. Unfortunately, the spark did not ignite and explode for the NiWeHi boys tennis team. Though they practiced rigorously, under the eyes of coaches Mitropolis and Gralewski, in individual competition, the boys did not fare well, losing most of their matches. But with the experience they gained and the prospect of returning members, the team is prepared to fight back and assure a winning season in the future. On the bright side, there was the emergence of the boys doubles team consisting of 1988 graduate Rohit Patel and senior Eric Orsic. With dedication, hard work, poise, and previous experience, the two worked themselves into the sectionals. There the team captured fourth place and received medals for their outstanding accomplishment. Team member Eric Orsic commented on their victory, "The sectionals were the highlight to a season that was overall rather disappointing. Our individual efforts paid off, but the team as a whole next season is looking for more." The season winded down with an overall unimpressive record, but each individual learned from their mistakes and gained experience with each ball they hit.

Despite a decrease in team members, the squad had high hopes, talent and goals to fulfill. Under the leadership of Coach Jodi Nebbie, the girls set around to accomplish their task. Long hours of practice to perfect the technique of the butterfly, breast stroke, back stroke and freestyle was the first necessary step. After that, team spirit and enthusiasm carried the team. As senior Miki Vucic commented, "Our main goal was to improve our times. Everyone was enthusiastic and sup- portive of reaching this goal." In competition, the team had a disappointing season with an overall record of 112. However the 200 individual medley relay team consisting of Ayumi Koyama, Miki Vucic, Patty Tzortzis and Ramona Giderof made it to the sectionals where they placed twelfth out of seventeen schools. After a long hard season, many members spoke positively of the excitement of competition and team spirit. Senior member, Patty Tzortzis summed up the season by commenting, "The season went well considering the few members. Each individual strived for their personal best and cheered and offered encouragement to support fellow members." With the season complete and fond memories stored away, the thoughts of the coach and returning members are upon next season.

They remain the only team undefeated in school dual meets this season. "It's been wonderful working with this talented group of girls that are striving to reach the same· goals," commented coach Judy Sloan. Coach Sloan and Coach Armour did a splendid job in training. Returning seniors Debbie Pozdol, Halina Orawiec and Peggy Campbell, who served as team captains, provided much encouragement to the other runners in order to work as a team. "Our varsity team has equal ability so we run together and encourage one another," stated Peggy 200 Girls' Cross Country Campbell. The team has adopted the slogan "Don't worry, be happy." "The friendships I have gained from being part of this team are great," says sophomore Elissa Leboy. If a problem arises, the team members work out their problems together. "We work together like a family," commented Debbie Pozdol. Achieving excellence in Cross Country takes much time and effort, but it endures as a worthwhile sport. Running provides an excellent way for members to stay fit and feel good about themselves. "Cross Country isn't as difficult as people think, I just hope more people join next year," stated Halina Orawiec.

Girls Cross Country 201 �Off And Running Pumping their muscles, overcoming all obstacles, and leaving their opponents in the shadows, the boys cross country team took off for another season. After long, grueling practices before and during the season, under the guidance of Coaches Savage and Campbell, the team was prepared to unite and perform to the best of their ability. However with the loss of star, senior Martin Bach, to a knee injury, the task seemed more difficult to accomplish. But like all good teams, they held together and proved they were still a force to be reckon' with in their conference. The team ended the season with a respectable record of 156, placing third in conference behind Highland Park and Maine West. Moreover, junior Oscar Palacios and sophomore Brian Moreth were named all- conference. Palacios placed fourth, while team member Moreth placed eighth in the three mile run. Missing the allconference team by seconds, senior Ken Smith still proved to be a factor of the team's success. Senior Martin Bach spoke of the season's outcome and of the bright future that lay ahead. "We could have placed first if more uflople came out for the team. Next season, with Brian (Moreth) and Oscar (Palacios) returning with more experience the team will have a strong foundation and be more competitive.'' With another chapter closed for the boys cross country team, returning team members wait for the beginning of the next chapter, one they hope that will be brighter and lead to a first in their conference.

The girls practiced daily from 3-5, drilling, scrimmaging and jogging, in preparation for their weekend bouts. One of the six participating seniors, Lisa Schapira, observed, "It was a season of ups and downs. At the beginning we had quite a winning streak. Later on in the season, we played better teams. We also played better soccer though the score didn't always show it. All in all, I think our team worked together well, and I have high hopes for next year's.. team." The defense, feared by opponents throughout the conference, consisted of all-conference Sundy Thompson, Wendy Martin, Sue Rubenstein, Chris Millewski, and Julie Hedrich. Wendy Martin even scored a goal from mid-field leading the team to a one-point victory. However, the team's main scoring came from all-conference Dawn Jacobs, Karin Janessa, Barb Noesen, and Kristi Lall. Experience, the best teacher, played a major role in contributing to the success of the team. The majority of seniors, who dominated the team, received special recognition for playing on a variety team while maintaining a high grade point average. The teams ability vastly improved due to the cooperation and dedication of the players, allowing them to compete on the same level as teams they had previously lost to. Allconference goalie Bea Revlins stated, "Although we lost to Evanston, we played the best soccer we were capable of playing.

Soccer, like many others sports, depends on teamwork. With two goals in their minds, the freshman and sophomore soccer teams attacked their respective seasons. The first goal, to whip their opponents, they hoped would lead to the fulfillment of their second goal, a goal that would bring the title, "conference champs," to the Indians. The freshman team worked hard under the leadership of Coach Zorn. Their long hours of practice and their team concept enabled them to reach the goals they strived for. With the many dedicated players, including team leaders Flavio Rocha and Stratios Kalamaris they ended the season with a re- cord of 8-3-2, bringing home the conference trophy. As they watched the freshmen defeat their opponents, the sophomore team , coached by James Sweeney, hoped for the same results. With a year of experience behind them, they attacked each game and were aetermined to win. However, they fell short of their goal, ending the season with a hard fought third place conference.

The Waukegan Raiders had routed the Indians 27-7, robbing them of their first winning season in years, not to mention a Homecoming victory. However, the season still had many highlights. Practice was one aspect that made the Indians successful. During practice on the day prior to a game, players referred to as "special teams" rehearsed kickoffs and kickoff returns. As part of the preparation, players received awards for the previous week's game. In addition, Head Coach Bill Richardson helped to arouse team spirit and participation by discussing last year's game against the same opponent. On the night preceeding a game, the players met for a strength building and morale boosting diner at a team member's house. Pointing out his views of the team. senior member Mark Argetsinger remarked, "We had one of the best backfields in the league, and a great offensive line to go with it." The offense banged out at least 250 yards a game. Senior Dean Klemenz rambled for 937 yards on one hundred and sixty-five carries in the year. At the same time, Tim Queen threw 104 passes for a total of 689 yards. Offensive attack was led by seniors Mark Argetsinger, Dean Klemenz, Tim Queen, and Paul Schramm. "Our defense rated among the top teams in the Central Suburban League North," commented senior Rob Mandell. Because of the superb coaching of Bill Richardson and the all-conference plays of Apostolou, Klemenz, O'Brien, Queen, Schramm, and Youstra, the football team achieved a very impressive season, going 2-2 in conference play and 4-5 overall. Coach Richardson summed it up best when he said, "I hope that the underclassmen will carry on the winning ways established by the varsity football team."

Coach Moltz makes a change and instructs sophomore Mark Campanini to take the field and play his position. Underclass Football The word "underclassmen" usually evokes images of new beginnings, and a time for mental and physical development. This traditional description also fits the Freshman and Sophomore Football teams. Due to the large turnout of over fifty freshman football players, coaches Steve Ramseyer, Ron Gralewski, and Elmer Erby had their hands full of finding and developing so much crude talent. Freshman players required many hours of preparation to catch up with the more experienced teams of other schools. The coaches divided the group into the "A" and "B" teams, with separate schedules. The "A" team ended up with a record of one win, one tie, and six 218 Freshman/ Sophomore Football losses. Although the less successful "B" team had no wins, the season helped develop their potential. The Sophomore Football team achieved three victories and four losses for the season. Besides getting a taste of the game, sophomores learned to enjoy the competition and comaraderie of high school ,football. These sophomores will enter junior year as welcome additions.

Freshman/ Sophomore Football 219 �Golfers Go For The Gold Driving, chipping, putting, . . . These actions became part of a daily routine for many members of the golf team. Beginning their season on a positive note, golfers won their first match, and ended with a dual meet record of 3-8. The varsity · team consisting of seniors, as well as several underclassmen, showed great improvement from past seasons. As the last few weeks of the season approached, Indian golfers really began to show more of their outstanding talents. They shocked fans by placing fourth in the conference meet, and sixth in the 14 team regional. Other accomplishments also added to the golfers' successful season. Seniors Jeff Goby and Nick Stratigakes advanced to the IHSA state tournament as well. Head coach George Galla commented, "I am really pleased with the performance of the team this season because the players worked hard." At the close of the season, the hard work and dedication put in by golfers became evident in their results. Driving, chipping, and putting led them to success!

West Meets West The eyes of the entire state were focused on girls basketball and Niles West, when the Indians hosted Maine West in the last regular-season game of the year. The attention was actually on Maine West, which had a chance to tie the state consecutive win record with a victory over Niles West. The game was supposed to be a blow out. The Warriors were defending state champions and entered the contest with a 62 game winning streak. In addition, they had already beaten the Indians by 40 points earlier in the season. The second time around, the results were the same. Maine West, ranked by U.S.A. Today as the top girls team in the country, won their 63rd game, trying the record set by Peoria Richwoods in 1984. While the results were the same, The margin of victory was not. The lady cagers hung in the game, refusing to allow the Warriors to pull away, At the start of the fourth quarter, they were down only eight points, after actually outscoring Maine West 22-15 in the third quarter, Maine West went on to win the game 77-59, but it was still a victory of sorts for the Indians. For one thing, the players could console themselves with the knowledge 222 Girls Varsity Basketball that no team has beaten Maine West since, who else but Niles West, accomplished the feat three years ago. Then, there is the obvious improvement the team has made since their first meeting with Maine West, as demonstrated by the 22 point difference in the margins of victory. In addition, the team can always remember their 3rd quarter performance, knowing that, for at least one quarter, they had outscored the best team in the country. The leader of the third quarter rally was a senior point guard Heather Donlon. Donlon, the team's top outside shooter and second leading scorer, scored 18 of the team's 22 points in the quarter. Sixteen of those points, which included four straight three-pointers, came consecutively. Donlon finished the game with 29 points. The Indians were not, however, a one man, uh - girl, team. The starting line-up featured three seniors, all consistent scorers. In addition to Donlon, Sandy Stergios and forward Debbie Pozdol, the team's leading scorer, averaged in double figures. The rest of the line-up included promising freshman Heather McKenna and junior Helen Ress. In a match against Deerfield, team member Heather McKenna takes a shot at the buzzer.

JV Players Spirit Prevails Even though the Junior Varsity Girls' Basketball team had a record of seven and nine this past season, their cooperativeness and spirit prevailed. Coach Klebba commented, "As freshmen, they won only one game; seven wins this year indicates a significant improvement in skills and understanding of the game. They must continue to improve their work habits to be competitive." Players whose improvement helped the team included leading rebounder Paula Hansen, leading scorer Jill Hammond, second Jr. Varsity Niles Opp West leading scorer Stephanie Israel, and Ana Suboni, the only freshman on the junior varsity team. Klebba also believes that the team, wins or loses their games because of their competitiveness, describing the high point of the season as a 41-37 overtime win over Waukegan East avenging an easier loss. Klebba concluded, "This was an enjoyable group. They are easy to coach and generally cooperative and compatible with each other."

To increase student turnout at games, the Niles Township sponsored the second annual "Pack the Place" night. 226 Boys Varsity Basketball �Cagers Improve During Season With perfect aim, junior Ali ' Le shoots for the basket from outside Nikolakakis was a major force that opponents had to fac. Like a heavy-weight boxer who had his opponent on the ropes in the early rounds but just couldn't get the knockout punch in, the Niles West boys basketball team had many first half leads, during the first half of the season, only to lose the game by a point or two in the fourth quarter. During the second half of the season (starting with Pontiac Tournament), however, the team turned it around winning the games they felt they should win. No magical potion or strategy changed the team's losing ways. According to senior forward John Lally, the team had been playing well enough to win but was just unable to get the knockout in the first part of the sea- What then put the pop in the Indian's punch? Opinions vary, but the overwhelming response from team members was that during the Pontiac Tournament, in which 'the team won two of the four games played, the players gained the confidence they needed to win the close games. In addition, the Pontiac Tournament also saw the emergence of 6-4 senior David Miller as an important contributor off the bench. Before the tournament. Miller was riding the bench, getting virtually no playing time. At Pontiac he got the chance to play, and has been the first big man off the bench ever since. While Miller, sophomore guard Eric Gold, senior forward Jeff Foss and other re- serves made important contributions, the bulk of the team's turnaround has to be attributed to the improved play of the starters. Head coach Tom Meyer originally went with a big line-up, starting 6-4 seniors Lally and Foss at the forward slots, 6-6 junior Ali Lejlic at center, 6-2 junior Jim Nikolakakis at off (shooting) guard and 5-11 senior Max Shulman at the point. For the Pontiac Tournament, Meyer went with a smaller but quicker line-up. He brought Foss off the bench, moved Nikolakakis to the small forward slot, and started 6-0 senior Andy Laliberty in Nikolakakis's spot. The change seemed to help and Meyer kept this line-up the rest of the season. Mikhail Lyubansky The Indians are determined to retrieve the rebound, score and re• cover the lead from their opponents.

Although half-nelson, Grambi, Reversal and take-down might sound strange to most people, these terms mean much to an experienced wrestler. The Indians, known state-wide for their successful wrestling program, started the season with their usual vigor and determination. They grappled, ran, and worked out in the weight room from 3:00 to 5:00 daily in preparation for weekend meets. The team's dedication produced continuous victories. Wrestlers frequently arrived at 6:15 A.M. for early-morning running sessions and many adjusted their diets to "make weight." Three returning all-conference wrestlers, Bobby Pine, 112 lbs; Marc Tadelman, 119 lbs. and Brett Youstra, 152 lbs. along with Kevin Hansen, 140 lbs., and Scott Shapiro, 103 lbs. have earned impressive individual records. In fact, Tadelman remains undefeated. The Indians have captured first place eight out of the last nine seasons. Despite intense perseverance, the team ended this season, however, in fourth place. Captain Marc Tadelman commented, "We could have won the conference and regional titles if we had a full line-up." Lack of wrestlers may have accounted for this season's record. With at least three forfeits per meet at 160 lbs., 170 lbs., and 189 lbs., the Indians had to fight twice as hard. The team, under the direction of newly appointed Gary Hutchinson, is relatively inexperienced compared to previous Indian teams. The team has optimistic hopes for future seasons and will depend upon consistency from juniors Howie Amiel, 130 lbs; Matt Stern, 135 lbs., and Bill Tsagalis, heavyweight. Captain Brett Youstra observed, "We still have a good program even with the coaching changes. Coach Hutchinson is doing a terrific job but the kids must continue to work harder to be the Indian wrestling team that opponents fear. They must strive to restore the Niles West Wrestling Dynasty."

JV Wrestlers Provide Spirit Even though participation dropped in junior varsity wrestling this year, spirited efforts by those who went out for the sport made this season an important one for beginning wrestlers. According to Kurt Baran, "Losses were due to forfeits. Junior Varsity had to forfeit seven out of fourteen weights." More participation next year can help prevent forfeits. Coach Porter prepared the wrestlers for their weekly matches by using the weight room and putting wrestlers against one another. Freshmen Peter Hepner stated, "It could have been a better season if we had more people go out for the sport. We have a great team, just not enough people are interested." The training of Coach Porter provided the wrestlers with the experience of a first season. This year's team possesses a bright future to a winning season next year.

The 1987-88 team started off the baseball season on the right pitch, winning their first six games against Proviso East, Notre Dame, Niles North, Waukegan East, Deerfield and Highland Park. Unfortunately, the Indians experienced an unexpected losing streak soon after, losing 10 out of their 13 games. However, during this time Coach Galla elevated some underclassmen to see if it would change the team's luck in any way. Brad Niedermaier pitched many games for the Indians making Coach Galla extremely enthusiastic about his future as a starting pitcher for the following season. Another young player, John Covington, took on the position of centerfield. His performance during this time gave Coach Galla an optimistic view about Covington's future on the team as well. Team members did not allow bad luck to bring their spirits down. Steve Schaffer's views stated, "Although our team struggled at the end of the season, we seemed to get better each game." At the close of the season, many key players were lost. Among these players were seniors Brad Kave, Craig Harris, Brian Israel, Dave Neuhauser, Steve Schaffer, and Herbie Diaz. Nevertheless, Coach Galla seemed confident that the experience gained by the remaining players during their losing streak will result in a successful upcoming season.

"What can students do on a couple of Saturday nights- different from the usual ones?" " How are kids able to really display school spirit?", the members of Student Union would quickly respond with the correct answers. Meeting every Wednesday and Friday, Student Union caters to the entire student body by involving a wide variety of students. "Student Union means the unifying of all the grade levels and the sharing of exciting ideas that make a full school week a bit more exciting," explains Student Union sponsor, Dave Brandes.

Junior Cabinet makes all of the arrangements for Prom, but fundraising for this exhilarating activity begins in the freshman cabinet. Although the freshmen had just started high school, the class cabinet did not let any time go to waste. Sponsor, Ms. Zucker added, "Officers were elected early this year which really helped us to get acquainted faster and also organized sooner." The freshman cabinet participated in the selling of Homecoming buttons, and to show spirit they built a float for the Homecoming Parade. President, Natalie Figura stated, "Our goal this year is to organize activities to involve the whole freshman class." Vice-president Elena Fen, secretary Katherine Ripley and treasurer Stephanie Pasignajen helped plan a variety of fundraisers to begin to build the treasury that will be used for Prom in the junior year. After three years of hard work, the junior class cabinet readily took on the responsibility of the 1989 Prom as well as planning many other activities during the year. Preparing a successful junior-senior Prom takes a lot of fundraising and patience. To earn money, the Junior Cabinet sold candy and also held many bake sales at the snack bar. Besides Prom, the juniors a lso planned the ever-popular Talent Show, a Junior-Senior Volleyball Game, and the Twilight Dance after the homecoming game. Excited about her first year as sponsor, Ms. Perez stated, "I am really happy with the Junior Cabinet, it's great working with such hard-working students." President Grace Diaz, vicepresident Daphne Mazarakis, secretary Tracy Pees, and treasurer Steve Rudin, provided leadership for the active cabinet. Three years of school separate the Freshmen and Junior Cabinets, but both exhibit class spirit and also the enthusiasm and energy that contribute to the making of Prom each year.

Catching It All The voice of the school - covering stories from the Presidential election to the controversial mascot issue, each staff member must have his ears open and typewriter handy to catch every juicy story that sets foot onto the West scene. It is the entire staff's responsibility to inform the students, faculty and administration of all the latest information from news to features, and editorials to sports. Although a great amount of work is involved with producing a quality newspaper every two weeks, the staff members take pride in their efforts as sophomore reporter Elliott Malkin said, "It gives me a sense of accomplishment when I see my name printed over an article in t he paper." Under the leadership of co-editorsin-chief Michelle Lewis and Mikhail Lyubansky, t he staff consisted of reporters and page editors Karin Much and Rummana Hussain (news), Nicole Price (editorials), Masha Alexander and Eric Phillips (features), and Jason Burk and Stacy Hosch (sports) . Photography editor Mike Havdala, along with photographers concentrated on organizing pictures and advertising director Marc Geslani on collecting ads. Several cartoonists also contributed their artwork to spice up the layouts. With a surge of new reporters and editors and a redesigned name plate, the "West Word" successfully created 16 issues with a 10-page holiday issue and a special senior issue. Teamwork and cooperation are the essence of the publication's success and according to the "West Word" adviser Jerome Orr, the entire staff~ put in many hours beyond the allotted classroom time to publish a high quality newspaper.

Senat e Sessio ns Seek Impr ovem ent The Student Council's legislative branch, the Student Senate, found the year full of challenges. Student Senate seeked to improve the school condition, not by planning socials, but by addressing issues of policy. Senate worked with the administration in drafting and revising current policies. Student Senate held meetings on Mondays and Thursdays of each week to carry out their work. Vice president Eric Orsic stated,"The enjoyment of Senate comes from working to overcome the constant challenges which we are confronted with. Handling these obstacles and achieving favorable outcomes beneficial for the student body are the primary goals of Senate." "It takes a real dedication to be in Senate," commented Senate President Marc Gesllani, "Because the work that we do is not always fun, in the common sense our work is fun." Some of the issues the Senate dealt with this year were: the Indian Mascot, the Robinson Bus controversy, walkmans, and the problem with the bookstore. With hard work and dedication the Senate body made their mark on these pressing issues. 256 Student Senate �Executive members Eric Orsic and Marc Geslani conduct a Student Senate meeting in the multipurpose room.

Drawing posters, Korean club members advertise for their activity. Keeping In Touch With Their Heritage Learning the history and culture of other lands goes beyond the classroom for Korean and Chinese students who became aware of their heritage through ethnic clubs. For two years the Chinese and Korean clubs have provided both education and entertainment for their members. For their third year, the Chinese Club made students and faculty more aware of Chinese culture. Along with the participation in the annual International Night, the members also created a dance party for the Chinese New Year. According to Micheal Yu, "As one of the international clubs we simply serve as a way for people to communicate with others who share interest in their culture." President Micheal Yu, Secretary Allen Tsao, and Treasurer Sai-man Law led members through another successful year which included introducing Chinese Calligraphy and giving Chinese cooking lessons. Korean club, another ethnic organization, focused on Korean current affairs. Officers decided to hold the monthly meetings in Korean for those members who do not understand English very well. Along with bake sales and participation in lnternati onal Night, members played in an annual volleyball tournament sponsored by the Chicago Korean High School Association. During the Korean New Year, the club performed for the elderly in various nursing homes. Club Sponsor Angela Graham explained, "Through Korean club bake sales and performances at International Ni~hts, staff and students of many backgrounds have come to appreciate Korean cuisine and culture, the vigor and elegance of an ancient civilization and a gracious diligent and wise people." Under the direction of President Hyung Mi Bae, VicePresident Jaewoo Jeong, and Secretary/ Treasurer Kathy Yim, the club attained many of their goals such as getting more students involved, helping new arrivals adjust to American culture, and meeting Korean students from neighboring schools. Although these two clubs represent different cultures, they both contribut e many activities which provide fun and learning for both members and nonmembers.

As one of the largest ethnic clubs, German club's spirit continues each year. Germans Celebrate CULTURE '·'Am dreiBigsten Mai ist der Weltuntergang! Wir leben nicht mehr Jang. Wir leben nicht mehr lang!" fi I A sweet melody accompanies the lyrics of this song, which seem dreary at first, telling of the nearing of the end of the world. Melancholy does not typify German attitudes, however, so the lyrics change and become ironic. The first verse expresses somewhat of a horror, "We won't be living much longer." Reflecting their optimistic attitude, the verse changes, "But nobody knows in what year the world will end, and that's wonderful! Perhaps we'll be here for many years still!" The joy of living is expressed most thoroughly by Germans' commitment to celebrating, which they promise to do in ending this song. German teacher George Brink, or "Herr Brink," leads his classes in singing festive songs, but classes alone do not provide enough time for culture lessons. Students gain a better understanding of German culture through participation in the German club, singing songs and planning activities pertaining to German culture. Club members, led by president Christina Gabriel, planned a trip to see a German film, visit a German neighborhood in Chicago, and eat lunch and desserts at a German pastry shop. At International Night, the German club sang traditional German Carols, such as "O Tannenbaum." A winter ski trip brought members together for a day of pure enjoyment on the slopes, a common activity of Germans in the southern, mountainous Bavaria. The German club builds up its treasury with popular bake sales each year, using some of the money to help fund the German Exchange Program. According to Christina Gabriel, "The German club offers students the opportunity to explore a different culture through activities and allows students with a common interest in the German background to get together and enjoy themselves.

Culture And Politics Highlight Israeli & Filipino Clubs To have a better understanding and appreciation of another culture, students join various ethnic clubs which provide a chance to meet friends with similar interests and engage in social activities. Both t h e Israeli Club and the F ilipino Club attract a large membership each year. The Israeli Club teaches students about the culture, religion, and politics of Israel. Members enjoy a field trip with Niles North in the middle of the year, and participate enthusiastically in International Night. During 262 Israeli/Filipino Clubs meetings, some members practice their Hebrew while others socialize and ponder situations occurring in Israel. Club sponsor Dr. Miron, who feels that students benefit by their membership in the Israeli Club commented, "A culture club is a place where the student can get involved emotionally, intellectually, and physically with the people, the culture, and the fand of the respective nation of which the club is its extension. In that respect, the Israeli Club fulfills the need of each participant, regardless of his or her original back- ground." "Mabuhay sa inyong lahat!" might sound fam iliar only to members of the popular Filipino Club who read that as, " A good life to all of you!" Filipino Club members enjoy active participation in school-sponsored events, while gaining a better understanding and appreciation of the Filipino culture. President Fehlyn Tulen stated, "Thanks to the large membership we have, and the abundance of enthusiasm in our group, we were able to participate in more activities than we have in t he past." Bake sales, International Night, Volleyball games and bowling, name just a few of the many activities of this club. During meetings, this close-knit group, with the support of new sponsor Edmund Murphy, discuss history, politics, and current situations of the Philippines. Members of both Israeli and Filipino Clubs, really appreciate the benefits of belonging to an ethnic club where they can gain a better understanding of a different c ulture and make new friends too.

"Senorita Perez has brought a new appeal and outlook to the club", says Sophia Shakir. Members feel equally excited about the club itself. According to Senior Mike Latash, "The Spanish Honor Society gives its members a chance to explore Span- ish and Latin American Culture in depth and to find out exactly what is behind all the things we have been learning about all these years.". The Spanish Club has participated in many honorable activities such as donating to the Mexican Flood Emergency relief fund and also donating time and Christmas gifts to underpriviledged hispanic children at Casa Central Day Care Center. Senior President Xyla Gatilao adds, "What you get out of Spanish Club is beyond classroom verb conjugation. Here one can experience and taste a little Spanish culture. To be able to communicate with a child who could only speak Spanish is lots of fun!" The club also provides a chance of its members to form new friends and relationships. "Spanish Club allows students to meet and talk to others who share a common interest. Ethnic clubs are one of the best ways to learn about other cultures, outside of visiting the country.", added secretary Nicole Pr ice.

During a practice session, academic bowl members test their knowledge by group discussions and by the use of computers. Practice is necessary for the team to compete with other local schools. The Brainy Bunch "Bzzzzzzzzz," sounds the buzzer, pressed by a member of the Academic Bowl team, to indicate willingness to answer the question. A competition based on a quick hand and a quicker mind, has captivated eligible juniors and seniors. The competition can be conducted in one of two ways. Traditionally, teams of five students from different schools compete in a buzzer contest to see how quickly and correctly questions can be answered. The team with the most points, based on speed and accuracy, advances to the next round. In another type of competition, known as the AUK competition, a large group of students gathers around a computer, which runs a disk with the AUK questions. The schools that score in the top of this nationwide competition receive various prizes, such as money or a trip. A new contest called the STARS 2000 High School Academic Team Competition combines the two methods. Computer controlled rounds, similar to the AUK contest, begin the competition. If a team scores in the top 50~',, on the first round, it advances to the second. After the second round, the top sixteen teams nation wide advance to Lexington, Kentucky, where a buzzer round completes the contest. Second, third, and fourth place winners receive an IBM computer for their school and the top placing team gets $10,000 for their school.

On The Contrary - NHS Members An everyday, indistinguishable student passed by the Multi-Purpose Room after school one day and noticed a huge mob of students inside, creating an incredible fuss. He wondered what organization it was, then reconsidered and decided the detention hall had been moved to house the large number of delinquents he saw. He proceeded down the hallway pondering the terrible situation the supervising teach er would have to deal with. Meanwhile, in the Multi-Purpose Room, Mrs. Horwitz and Mrs. Handler struggled to quiet the "delinquents." Everyone settled down, and a meeting of members of the National Honor Society began, quite the opposite of a meeting of delinquents. The National Honor Society, NHS, has an unusually large number of me mbers, reflecting the talent of this year's senior class. More than 70 students have been inducted to the society, despite the strict criteria for membership. Students must demonstrate a high level of scholarship and participation through activities in t he school and must also possess records free from incidents of cheating or improper behavior. Pledging themselves to maintain these standards, NHS members support charitable activities such as a holiday food drive, the Crusade of Mercy, and a spring blood drive. Other activities such as a fall volleyball tournament provide enjoyment for members, while raising funds for charities, and reflect t he society's desire to blend academic achievements with ath letics, since many members hold interest in both. Under the guidance of Mrs. Handler and Mrs. Horwitz, NHS has sought to become more active and more recognized. A fall induction ceremony especially aimed at underclassmen, who may be inspired by the image and strive to gain the standards of members in the NHS, presented a strong, positive image of NHS. "NHS, through the guidance of our sponsors, will leap into full school participation and will hopefully stand out with deserved recognition," asserted James Lee, who, along with Scott Toban, Matt Reznik, and president Suzanne Ahn leads this prestigious group. Each member of NHS has pride in his accomplishments and involvement with NHS, and each time he dons his blue t-shirt displaying the gold emblem designed by Hak Kang, he has a renewed sense of self respect. James Lee concluded, "The marked difference in this year's NHS is that we're willing to stand out and be recognized rather than run our activities from the background shadow."

Members participate in various field trips to places such as Indiana Dunes, Starved Rock, the Field Museum, Brookfield Zoo, and Cantigny. According to club sponsor Gerald Firak, "We take students to places they ordinarily would not go by themselves." Besides going on field trips, the members also tend to the nearby prairie preserves by burning it and replanting it with different types of wild flowers and plants found in northern Illinois. Unfortunately this valuable club may die out unless interested students replace the departing seniors.

The club was started last year. • • Always In Control Although cars racing down the school halls at high speed would surprise most students, m embers of the year-old Radio Controlled Car Club consider this a comm on sight. Informally structured with action-packed meeting, the club brings friends together to rap about the latest "R.C." car tips and race t heir cars against each other. "Th e RC Car Club gives us something in the way of competition," commented officer Timot h y Sauerman. Racing and ra pping do not cover all of the club's features. Junior Dennis Peterson explained another aspect of t he club , " For some, t he RC Club is very educational. Everyone gets to see how other cars are built and run. " Nicole Price 270 Photography/Radio Control Car Clubs • • • • �Shutterbugs Checking out a negative in the light, photography club members smile proudly at their work. The group met after school to practice and discuss t heir skills. " What type of film was used?" " What was your shutter speed ?" "That is a great shot!" These are some common remarks heard at a typical meeting of the N iles West Photo Club. The photo club, which meets every other Tuesday, is a great way for anyone even slightly inte rested in photography to exp ress their ideas and creativity. Members critique other students' work by offering comments on the picture composition and developing techniques. The club, with science teacher John Beeftink as a sponsor, is open to all grade levels. There are currently more than 20 participatns. It provides members with the opportunity to meet with fellow students who share an interest in photography. Members are allowed to use t he school darkroom during club time or the students' free time. The darkroom is a luxury for students who usually do not have access to one. It is a fantastic way to gain knowledge about darkroom techniques. The club sponsors an annual photo contest in which color and black and white prints a re accepted. It is open to all students at Niles West as well as faculty members. Photography is a great way to show everyone how you see the world. If 20 photographers were given an assignment to shoot the same t hing, you would get 20 different shots. The pictures would vary in angle, view and composition. Each would tell a different story based on the style of the photographer. Since Niles West does not offer photography courses as a part of their classroom curriculum, the Photo Club gives its part icipants the chance to develop their own pictures, build a portfolio of their work and develop friendships with other "shutterbugs."

All the posters turned in for t he holiday contest were judged by SADD officers. 272 SADD �Not A Sad Story, But A SADD Story Crashed cars, key chains, and campaigns don't do it all for S.A.D.D. Hard work, time, and most importantly people, makes Students Against Driving Drunk grow in size and p_ower each year. When prom time rolls around, everyone expects the wrecked car out on the lawn, but this year SADD members sponsored a campaign during the holidays, before winter break and celebrated SADD Day. They decorated the walls with the posters and slogans from a chapter-wide contest for the holiday campaign. For SADD Day, face paint was used to write on members' faces. The club also represented the school at a community crime prevention display in Skokie. All in all, SADD acquired new members, used new ideas, and, best of all, got its message across to more people. SADD secretary, Karin Much, commented, "Students Against Driving Drunk is worthwhile because it helps people and saves lives, while informing the public of the dangers of drinking and driving. The thing that people should realize is that SADD's purpose is not to tell people not to drink. We just don't want people to drink and drive."

Members gather around as David Lee calls the meeting to order. Besides the fun and games, a lot of business must be taken care of at meetings. Peer Counseling advisor David Lee explains the new game to students. New friendships are born through this club. Peeri ng In On The Group Although friends commonly sit around talking about current happenings , Peer Groups take this activity one step further. Student Leadership / Peer Counseling began four years ago when social worker David Lee held the first training meeting with twenty-five students. Because teen-agers can strongly influence each other, the Peer Group goal as stated in their handbook, is "channeling this peer influence in a positive, growth-prod ucing direction, attempting to help teens develop a more positive self-concep t and social skills, make good judgments, and become more responsible ." Students interested in leading groups learn important tools of communica tion such as feedback, paraphrasin g, summarizin g, and body language. After training one hour after school for twenty weeks, students qualify to pass on their new knowledge. Subgroups of five to ten teens and two leaders meet during their free time, lunch or study hall. The Peer Group program now consists of fifty-five leaders. In addition to learning communica tion skills and engaging in fun energizers, the groups have many open-ended discussions that cover a wide range of topics and interests. Donna Wezio 27 4 Peer Counseling/L eaders Before the meeting begins, members Tracy Hirshman, Donna Wezio and Rachel Garland discuss things that came up in their groups. Group leaders are always' present to help each other and give advice. �Leaders Pave The Way Helping other students improve their fitness and physical skills, kept Leaders in the P.E. program busy. Leaders had the opportunity to test individual leadership and teach their peers. Member Jaye Jao stated, "Leaders is really a lot of fun. You learn to be responsible and at the same time help out the P.E. teachers conduct class." The sponsors of the Leaders program, Bill Schnurr and Lee Heeren, both agree that Leaders gym benefits both students and teachers. The physical education staff greatly appreciates the help of the Leaders. Besides leading exercises, and demonstrating techniques in classes they "lead", the leaders also attend a daily gym class made up of only leaders, where they all compete. Junior Leader Rachel Berman enjoys being a leader because she has met a lot of new people. She also stated," I just wish more people would get involved in the program."

Therefore , to eliminate this problem, many students turn to members of the tutor's club. Students seeking help sign up at the Foreign Language Resource Center for an appointment during the day or after school with one of the thirty-five members of this club. According to club advisor Mrs. Horwitz, the most common requests are in chemistry , geometry and algebra, as well as other math and science courses. Senior JiSun Kim commente d, "When I tutor people, I find I enjoy helping others when they ask seek my help."

Expressions, Concert Choir, and Girls' Ensemble make up the choral group Ensemble. With the exception of Girls' Ensemble, the chorus toured Orlando, Florida to perform at EPCOT Center and Disney World. "After three years in chorus, I've seen it grow into a very organized group. This year, the chorus was very strong. We're singing music ranging from classical to jazz and our choreography is energetic and fits the music." commented senior Kevin Steele. Many people said that chorus was a great experience because they learned a lot while enjoying themselves. Sheri Owens summed it up by saying, "This year has been a great one. We peake.J "'ith our awesome Florida Tour." The Chorus accompanied the Orchestra on their tour of Florida. They won the Homecoming float contest for the fifth consecutive year. Orchestra President Xyla Gatilao expressed, "With the majority of the Orchestra being seniors, we looked to this year's Florida tour as an special memorable experience." According to most orchestra members, this year is not only special because of the tour. It's special to them because Ted Kaitchuck, orchestra leader, will retire at the end of the school year. He concluded, "My desire is for all my students to continue music as both performers professionally, or as amateurs to enhance their lives through the arts."

Chorus/Orchestra 279 �Marching And Keeping In Step Improving more and more every day and growing in size each year, the color guard and marching band add an exciting touch to school activities. Long, hard hours of practice on Tuesdays help prepare the color guard for home-game performances. Their waving flags, smiling faces, and bright uniforms add excitement to both football and basketball games and make the members more recognizable. This extracurricular activity provides the chance for new friendships as members meet people. Sponsor Mr. Koch, captain Kathy Schroeder, and co-captain Wendy Abragan organize routines for this activity which requires both time and commitment from its hardworking members. Color guard offers students the opportunity to improve coordination while building friendships. Accompanying the color guard and also Porn pon squad, the marching band adds enthusiastic spirit to half-time performances at football games, school assemblies, parades, and concerts. Band director, Mr. Koch, creates the many different routines and coordinates them to perfection. In addition, Koch organizes the band's participation in competitions, con- ducts the band during performances, and selects the musical pieces to play. To perfect their routines, the marching band practices long and tedious hours during their regular class periods, one night a week, and several times during the summer. The marching band has had much success throughout the year because of their " many well-rehearsed and performed concerts. Being part of band or color guard leads to many new friendships as well as learning and enjoyment.

With giant smiles and porn-pons in hand, twenty-two girls danced across the field during halftime. Rain or shine, the Porn Pon squad never failed to dazzle the crowd. Under the guidance of captains Jeannie Choi and Rachel Posner, the team made it through all the practices and halftime routines. To prepare for the season, the squad attended a Badgerettes camp at the University of Wis consin at Whitewater Spending four days there, in August, strengthened their abilities and taught them new skills. Treasurer Melissa Connell, remarked, "Camp brings the team closer every summer, and a unified squad always works better together at practices and in the games." Long practices in the summertime and meetings three times a week during the school year also contributed to the squad's success. New member Beth Lichtenstein commented, "The practices were long and hard, just as I had been warned. However, it was such an honor to be part of the squad that I would do it all over again."

Spirit At The Sidelines Smiling, jumping, and shouting words of encouragement, cheerleaders played a major role in the success of the school's sports teams. Approximately three times a week after school, freshman, sophomore, and varsity cheerleaders practiced to perfect their cheers, mounts, and stunts. After attending a fiveday camp in the summer and ranking among the top twenty squads, cheerleaders entertained at pep assemblies and sporting events. The varsity squad, led by captains Amy Cho and Lisa Schapira, per- 284 Cheerleaders formed for halftime at a DePaul University basketball game. Throughout the year, cheerleaders put in time and effort to rouse the spirit of the Indians. According to sponsor Karen Young, " We were very lucky to have so many hard-working girls with terrific attitudes to represent our school." From class cheering contests in the gym to first and second place awards at camp, the girls succeeded in getting the crowds on their feet to cheer their teams on to victory.

Coping With Those Dreaded Deadlines Layout sheets?? We have none! Can someone get a photographer by 3:00?? What do you mean we have no pictures?? Where did all our croppers disappear to?? Our deadline is, . . . TOMORROW!! Restless editors, staff members, and photographers rambled about at all hours of the day working towards one laborious goal - the completion of the 1988-89 Spectrum! Due to the early departure of the senior class, deadlines had to be met promptly so that the book would be released before May 30. Advisers Jerome Orr and Linda Horwitz took on various responsibilities such as proof reading countless stories, meeting with Jostens re- 286 Yearbook presentatives, and mailing finished layouts on time. Once again, the staff consisted of two classes. Brainstorming brought together the diverse, yet creative ideas of both groups. Putting these ideas into use through various stories, layout designs, and artwork resulted in the success and quality of "Doing It All". Upon completing the final deadline in February, copy sheets, croppers, job number sti: kers, and film became remnants of c a hectic 6 months of work.

Considering that academic courses, with few exceptions, are the only classes which are required, this is quite reasonable. According to junior Aaron Joffe, "Really, little else exists that's worth my consideration other than the core classes. Anyhow, the school was established to provide general liberal arts and sciences education.'' Within this realm, though, there are many options. Numerous levels of difficulty exist within each respective subject, and four different languages are offered. "For example," said Junior Tom Mazarakls, "If I wanted to, I could easily take A.P. chemistry and basic French, if I were extremely proficient in chemistry and poor in French.'' In addition to the usual academic fare, students may augment their learning in certain clubs. Clubs such as Debate, Seminars for Scholars, and Current Events are fine examples of activities which add to class experience. Tutors' Club may also be put in this category since it helps the struggling student and refines the successful student's skills. The resources of the school also provide opportunities for a wider range of experiences, as well as general help with academic studies. The respective resource centers, computer rooms, library, and library annex, all offer opportunities for learning to the interested student. Of course, the teachers should not be left out of this web of education. Their efforts are an integral part of the students' learning. It is then, the teachers, the scholarly clubs, and the numerous resources of the school which together form the overall academic experience of the high school student.

That's a fact. They get an urge around s~oo Friday night to do something or be someplace which has no relation to school. What do they do? Well, let's see. A popular place to go is Ed Debevic's, a fifties-type restaurant where a lot of people go to eat or just hang out. Down the street is the Hard Rock Cafe. Hard Rock is a restaurant tl}at not only has good food, but also rock and roll memorabilia. It is a gooa place to go to eat or just so they can say they've been there. Ball games: whether the Chicago Bears, Cubs, White Sox, or Bulls, there is usually a game someplace. Friends go together, sit in the bleachers, and cheer their team on. This was also one of the biggest years for concerts. Genesis, Van Halen, David Lee Roth, and even the Monkees all had sold out shows. Students showed them off the following Monday by wearing the T-shirt that they bought. Finally, there were the basic movies and parties. People flocked to the theaters with their dates, to see such flicks as "Reform School Girls", and "Eat and Run." Then they would go to their prospective parties. Senior Steve Reitman states, " I always make it a point to go out every weekend because it takes my mind off school."

The cafeteria was decorated In the tradltlonal red and white with the senior football players' names painted across the windows, compliments of the senior Midnight Riders. On Monday, the first day of spirit week, as everyone walked Into school, they were handed a 6-day pass by a Student Union member clad In a tourist look. The second day, many people were walking around looking llke someone who just walked off of Ollllgan's Island wearing jungle safari attire. The next day, Wednesday, students showed their spirit by wear· Ing green for freshmen, yellow for sophomores, white for ju· nlors and red for seniors, at the In-school pep assembly, which was rowdy and full of spirit. Thursday everyone dressed as their favorite Disney character. There were Donald Ducks, Ooofys, and Mickeys parading around the school. Most people just dressed In their old Mickey Mouse shirts and donned Mickey ears on their heads to top off the outfit. Friday was red and white day, which carried on Into the night at the twilight pep assembly. Bursting with spirit, the record crowd conquered the rain and cold to watch King fred Pyter and Queen Tami Moss be crowned. After the assembly, many students showed their dancing skills at the Luau, hosted by Student Union and fresh· man Cabinet. The bad weather continued on through the week· end, but through It all, the fans watched the Indians grind the Bulldogs Into Goofy chow and beat Waukegan 7-6.

Opening Section l:S �Whatever it • IS, it's at West From pep assembly to prom, stu· dents' calendars were packed with memorable and inspiring events. College night provided an opportu· nity for students to balance out their thoughts and questions per· taining to which college they should attend. During Homecom· Ing Week, a six day pass trans· formed Niles West into Walt Disney World, filled with famous Disney characters of all kinds. As the week progressed, students waited in sus· pense to find out who their Home· coming King and Queen would be. The week of excitement came to a close with Cinderella's Ball, after a game against Waukegan East. The year continued with many other ex· hilarating activities, from school plays to Turnabout, finally ending with the Junior-Senior prom. "Spe· cial events help to relieve the ten· sion of everyday school life," stat· ed senior Johanna Pelos. Balanc· ing their time between school work and these events, the students en· joyed a fun-filled and productive year. 14 Happenings-Division �HAPPENING S College night is a good time for students to find out about many aspects of college life.

Division-Happenings 15 �An elegant scene abeled "Once in a Lifetime" by last year's Junior Class Cabinet, Prom '86 proved to be a most cherished evening for almost all in attendance. It was held at the lavish Knickerbocker Hotel in Downtown Chicago on May 2.3, 1986, at 7:.30 p.m. Last year's seniors comprised the majority of students in attendance, with a large number of juniors and some underclassmen completing the guest list. Coronation was at 9:15, and Prom King and Queen were revealed to be seniors Kurt Kiemicki and Debbie Shugall. Junior Class Secretary~ Hollie Sobel stated, "A lot of hard work went into the planning of Prom, but it all paid off in the long run, as it was absolutely marvelous." Craig Keer, member of the Class of '87, perhaps summed it up best when he said, "The room was spinning with excitement .3. what happened that night can never be repeated. It was magic." L James Vanosdol The dance noor is filled as couples slowly sway to the music. Love songs were a big hit at Prom '86. Couples take a break from dancing and get something to eat. Although dinner was not served, appetizers and drinks were available. 16 Prom Cindi Moss and Todd Sucherman gaze into each others eyes as they dance.

The students tried to maintain their composure but the hot June sun and the excitement in the air created a· bubbly stir throughout the soon-to-be graduates. The ceremony was held outside on the Basrak Field due to excellent conditions in the weather. Beach balls went flying and "the wave" was attempted. Despite the occassional bursts in spirit, the graduation ceremony was an overall success. The band played triumphantly, " The Greatest Love of All " was sung by the choral group, Expressions, inspiring speeches were made and, of course, diplomas were awarded. Coming in four years earlier as naive, young freshmen, the class of 1986 left as proud and enthusiastic adults. T Jill Hedrich Smiling, Donna Erickson receives her diploma from Dr. Stein.

Graduation 19 �Mingling at the • mtxer reshmen and Sophomores danced, mingled, and talked throughout the evening at the Frosh-Soph Mixer, which was sponsored by the Sophomore Class Cabinet. The mixer was held in the cafeteria and courtyard, which had been transformed into a dance hall with red and white crepe paper on the walls and beams. As the evening progressed, there were students dancing on the floor and some as Lionel Richie says, "Dancing on the ceiling." Some wore togas to express the spirit of "Animal House"; while others came as themselves. Through dancing and exchanging smiles, students found it easy to meet and mingle with other classmates. Though the freshmen took a little longer to "get into the groove"; in the end, like the sophomores, they wanted the night to go on forever. Refreshments and popcorn were served by the class cabinet members, to help cool down the students. The courtyard was open to give the students some fresh air and a quiet place to talk to old and new friends. " Not only was the attendance up to par, but the students who attended thoroughly enjoyed themselves," commented Sophomore Class President Megan Goldish.

Freshmen Wendy Velencia, Rachel Rosenberg, Amy Berk, Carrie Gold, and Karen Noesen get into the swing of Niles West while enjoying themselves at the Frosh-Soph mixer. The Freshman-Sophomore Mixer provided refreshments and music to entertain the underclassmen. Taking a rest from dancing are sophomores Jessica Oickstein, Susan Lieberman, and Susan R eitman. Sophomores Eric Schulman and Danielle Chams share a dance at the mixer. The mixer not only brought new and old friends together, but new romances were made as well. Freshman-Sophomore Mixer 21 �Where to go? ow much is tuition? What do I need to get in? Is it nonsectarian? Now many students are there? Where is it? Do they have my major? Can I get in? These questions and many more were answered this year at Directions, College Night '86. Approximately 240 colleges and uni· versities were represented by either alumni or admissions officers. Pro· spective freshmen were able to listen to seminars given by the larger, more popular institutions, or just window shop at the smaller ones. Branches of the armed services were also present to answer questions from future re· cruits. The opinions of the students who attended varied. "By going to College Night I was exposed to many new schools," stated senior Amy Cozza. "It was a lot of fun and very informa· tive," said senior Ellen Epstein. Ju· nior Jeanne DiModica commented, "It was very overwhelming, especially for students who have no idea where they want to go." Over all, the evening was a smashing success.

On October 20th the homecoming pep assembly was held. The gym was packed with adrenalin filled students. The freshmen and sophomores struggled up the stairs to the balcony of the gym while a certa in amount o f seniority ranked as the juniors and seniors sat on the main floor. The seniors were the first to begin chanting that th ey ranked supreme. That was followed by the juniors challenging them. The sophomores then came in and told the freshmen to go home, while the freshmen sat back and watched this absurdity. Chris Ross, the mascot ran out to get the freshmen to cheer. Reluctantly, they did so. However, once they got going there was no stopping them. Once in a while they 'd get so bold as to tell the seniors to go home. This created chaos in the gymnasium.

Throughout the parade, chants were sung to show school spirit. The loudest and most noticeable chant was the one sung by Student Union members, "Give me an "1N-D+A-N-S". Riding on the back of a dump truck was not too glamorous, but the Union girls did not let that spoil their fun and excitement. Junior Amy Chertow commented, "The ride was not worth getting soaked, but it wasn't too cold because the yelling and excitement kept me warm."

There were also many activities which the parents were encouraged to see. These activities included rehersals of The Pied Piper of Hamlin and The Orchesis Dance Company, a short concert given by the string orchestra, and a sampling of the many extra-curricular activities open to students.

At the close of the 1985-86 school year, the directors chose to recreate this musicalcomedy with several new ideas to give the production a fresh, modern look. In previous years, students wrote the productions as well as directed them, but in recent years, many of the writers were plagued with a lack of story ideas. As a result, beginning with the 1985 production, "Celebration", the decision was made to perform pre-written shows. Usually, the student-produced musical was the first production of the year; this year it is the second. "Stop the World" is the story of Littlechap, played by senior Bruce Ramseyer, a clown in the circus who goes through his entire life making the same mistakes, never being satisfied. During his lifetime, he meets four women, one of whom he marries and cheats on with the other three. His S .38 Student Produced Musical wife is Evie, played by sophomore Amy Flack.

Some field trips are considered "Blow-offs" to students, but other field trips provide an educational experience that can not be found in a classroom. This years economics class taught by Charles Anderson took a very interesting trip to see where fortunes are won, lost, counted, and shredded daily. They visited The Chicago Board of Trade and The Federal Reserve Bank. "Just sitting in a classroom and memorizing facts is not enough," said Senior David Nakabayashi, "visiting the places we study about in class is very mentally enriching." The economics class's day in the city started at the Board of Trade where they witnessed the opening of trading at 9:30 a.m. From the Board of Trade they crossed the street and took a fascinating tour of the Federal Reserve Bank. Millions of dollars in checks and cash are processed at the bank each day. "The bank was very interesting. I have never seen so much money in my life," said Senior Nick Tziavaras. "This is one of my favorite field trips because it gives the students an insight to our greedy capitalistic economy. I think they learned a lot," stated teacher Charles Anderson. F David Wallerstein Economics teacher Charles Anderson picks up the receiver to hear all about the day's trading activities.

If a fire were to suddenly besiege Niles West, most students would be likely to panic and endanger themselves. Fire drills provide the necessary means of the students' fireeducation. A student may miss class time due to fire drills, but in the event of fire, at least he or she will be safe with the knowledge acquired through fire drills. Some students, however, view fire drills with a bit of levity. Said senior Depak Sathy, " I hate having fire drills during free time or lunch, but they' re okay during classes, like calculus.

Angry gangster, senior Adam Zimmerman decides it's the end of the line for sophomore Kevin Steele. 64 Godspell Fr~;;hman David Winer brings his interpreta· tion, of Judge Wapner to the Niles West stage. / �Portraying the parables his year's final musical production was originally to be " Carousel. " After careful deliberation by sponsors Robert Johnson, Cynthia Philbin and Sheri Owens, the musical was changed to " Godspell, " a rock musical based on the times of Jesus Christ, who was portrayed by junior John Barba. There were many special changes incorporated into this production. Mr. Johnson decided this version of the show had to be modernized in order to help the audience understand the underlying morals to the parables, which are the lessons taught to Jesus' followers throughout the course of the show. For instance, the parable of " The Judge and the Widow, " was re-written with dialouge created by both the director and cast. The parable had the same basic theme, but at the same time parodied TV's " The People's Court." Other changes included the fact that there were no traditional " lead" roles, with the exception of Christ and the character of Judas, played by junior Matthew Winer. During the first week of rehearsal, Johnson pointed out to the cast members that it was they who were to decide how much of themselves they wanted to put into the show, for there would not be any specific character names used. As an example, " Judy" would play " Judy" in the show. Everyone got their chance to be seen or heard from at least once. The cast was completely ensemble, no separation between " leads" and the " chorus. " Everyone was the same designation. The cast was made up of eighteen people in total, including seniors Rebecca Kolber and Adam Zimmerman, juniors Alison Brooks, Michelle Dayan, Joy Grossberg and Paul Katz, sophomores Maggie Duffy, Amy Flack, Kirsten Gieler, Carl Helwing, Melinda Hepner, Beth Lichtenstein, Kevin Steele and Pascale Trouillot, along with freshmen Adam Telengater and David Winer. The lighting was designed professionally by Mr. Marc Schwartz. The set was designed by Cynthia Philbin, Lee Goldberg and Peter Sharpe. Johnson concluded, " By far, this is the best production of " Godspell" that I have ever had the pleasure of directing. I would drudge through my day as an English teacher until I got to those rehearsals." "Godspell " was performed four times: a senior citizens performance on March 11, a juniorhigh performance on March 12, and two night performances on March 1.3 and 14.

NiWeHi of· fered many opportunities for peo· pie to express their interests and talents. They varied from chess club, to band, to the many foreign language clubs, of which the newest addition was the Chinese club. The clubs also did a lot for our community. "The lsraell club gave the money they raised to dif· ferent charities,'' said President Da· vid Wallerstein. "Clubs allow a student to tempo· rarily forget the rigors of academia, and that can really help a person get through a school day," said Senior Class President Dale Sher· man. Clubs can play an important part in a person's education. Students come across new experiences all the time. Students learn to work to· gether and get a chance to learn about themselves and others. 68 Clubs-Division �CLUBS A member of Midnight Riders, senior Renee Lecomte h elps make posters to boost the spirit of the football players for their upcoming game.

AFS offers opportunities t.o interested students Americans Abroad is a club composed of the candidates in the AFS exchange program. It is currently sponsored by school counselor Mary Pat Carr. Miss Carr comments optimistically, " We have four exceptional candidates this year. I expect all of them to be taking off for far away places this summer." The purpose of Americans Abroad is to assist the candidates with the applications ~nd the various screening needed. Americans Abroad is a special opportunity. It gives students a chance to experience other countries and different surroundings. Everyone, at least once in his or her life, should get away and learn more about our amazing world. Junior Gail Dennis stated, "The experience would offer a change of pace in my life. It would be a fun and interesting experience where I can make many new friends." Sophomore Yuri Keegstra concluded by stating, "I think that an experience in another nation would expand my horizon by showing me how another culture lives and thinks."

Dedicated fans support swimmers A fairly new club at West the Timers Club consisted of twenty students who held an interest in helping the swim team with their home meets. In addition, Timers Club involved a lot of spirit, which of course always helps. Shirley Daniel, a former student at West sponsored these dedicated fans. Timers did much more than time. They learned to use the timing board, how to install the electronic timing pads, put in lane lines, and much more. After swim meets, they cleaned up the deck and made sure everything got picked up. But when they weren 't.timing, cheering, or cleaning, they could be found decorating lockers before swim meets, making posters, and bringing food for all. Sophomore Marny Pierini stated, " Being in the Timers Club makes me feel as if I am on the team. The people are great and you 're always welcome. Besides, it is more exciting than being up in the stuffy stands!" Patty Tzortzis A FS/ Amcricans Abroad / Timers Club 73 �Front row: Donica Weinberg, Maria Choi, Alison Presley.

Choir and Girls Ensemble perform along with Expressions at most of the events presented by the department. Events consisted of a fall choral concert in the cafeteria, A Holiday Festival in December, and a performance at the Museum of Science and Industry for "Christmas Around the World." Other activities were a Boston Pops Dinner Concert and a May Festival to close the school year. Sponsor Sheri Owens stated, "''The choral program has really grown this year. The students in all three groups are performing better than ever!" Senior Rebecca Kolber said, "Expressions combines the benefits of learning music in class along with the ability to perform at events."

It is a group of twenty-five girls who practice all year for a show that is given the first weekend in April. The show consists of all different forms of dance. Jazz, modem, ballet, and tap are all incorporated into the choreography. For the most part, the participants in the club choreograph the numbers in the show. Gretchen Glader, the sponsor of Orchesis, helps with some of the choreography. Junior Stephanie Pritzker stated, "I think it is great that we choreograph our own numbers. It makes me feel like the show really belongs to us." The April show is not the only performance given by Orchesis. Orchesis also takes part in junior high performances and performances for the elderly at various nursing homes. "Entertaining other people is what I think is best about Orchesis. We all feel really proud and good about ourselves after we do a show at a home for the elderly. It is reward enough just to see them smile," said senior Un Joo Choi. Instead of the band tour, which Orchesis usually participates in, they went on a dance tour of their own. This and other ideas are helping to make Orchesis more fun and profitable.

West of Edens, Niles West's annual color literary/art magazine, is composed entirely of submissions from West students, ranging from drawings to poetry to science fiction writings. This year's cover was the result of a school-wide contest where the winner was awarded a $50 prize. Commenting on this year's edition, sophomore Christine Kim noted, "We had a plethora of excellent works submitted this year. This edition truly runs the gamut of ideas, creativity, and talents." The Current Events Club is unique in that it is the only completely unrestricted club which presents a wide range of contemporary, often controversial themes to the student. The nature and purpose of the club was explained by its sponsor, Mr. Tom McMahon, who stated, "The main purpose of the current events club is to interest students in the political, social and moral issues of our time." Approximately twenty students comprised the club's membership. Due to the solely didactic format of the club no officers as such were elected. At the outset, Mr. McMahon stated, "One of the primary goals of this club is to educate students regarding controversial issues not discussed in the classroom. In keeping with this statement the club explored the following topics: the racial situation in South Africa; civil rights in Latin America; the nuclear arms race; and two heretofore untouched subjects, sanctuaryimmigration in America and the conflict in Northern Ireland. Members of the club expressed their feelings regarding their involvement. Kyung Chang commented, "I feel I have profited greatly from the rare opportunity this club gives me to learn and think about those philosophies and people around the globe who truly affect the world." Hong Park stated, " I really enjoy getting the unique perspective on international affairs which only the current events club can give me. " Sponsor McMahon capsulized his beliefs about the club, "We are basically there to give the interested student a better understanding of world affairs, and perhaps spark them to take action in some political realm. " Current Events is then a club with a serious purpose to educate and interest students about the political world surrounding them.

West of Edens West Of Ed ens/ Current Events Club 79 �Showtime The school year showed increasing interest by a wide range of students in the Niles West Theatre Department. The majority of newcomers to the department were the freshman, who showed some positive signs for the future. There were four shows produced during the school year. The first was " The Pied Piper of Hamelin." Directed by Cynthia Philbin, the Children's Theatre production told the famil iar tale of a man helping townspeople rid their community of a host of rats. Featured were junior Matthew Winer as the Pied Piper, junior Arthur Tiersky as the greedy mayor, and seniors Abby Ivener and Chris Larkin as young lovers. The student-directed musical followed. " Stop the World, I Want to Get Off!," directed by- senior Rebecca Kolber, told the story of Littlechap, a clown in the circus, who never realizes his mistakes until all he loves leave him through death . Senior Bruce Ramseyer played the unsatisfied Littlechap and sophomore Amy Flack was his wife, Evie. The musical, directed annually by sponsor Robert Johnson, was originally chosen to be " Carousel," but the director changed his mind and " Godspell " became his new choice. Mr. Johnson has directed the show twice before but stated, " By far this is the best cast I've ever chosen for this production. I would drudge through my school day as an English teacher just to get to the rehearsals for " Godspell. " " Godspell" tells the story of the teachings of Jesus Christ, played by junior John Barba.

The color guard has joined with North becoming Panache. The color guard, through th eir visua l synchronated patterns, enhanced th e music played during marching competitions. These girls believe practice makes perfect. With twelve national and local competitions, the new competition color guard, " Panache," had a busy year, Formed from the regular color guards of Niles West and North, Panache is somewhat of a mix between the traditional color guard outfit, with rifles and flags, and a dance troupe. As band director William Koch put it, "It's the best of both worlds!" Panache founder Koch has taught drill design and spoken on the benefits of competition color guard at such places as Northeastern and Roosevelt Universities. His field of expertise is ostensibly in the different areas of marching band, of which the color guard is included. Commented Koch, "Marching band has just been emerging as a dominant force in the last five years, and universities are even giving scholarships to those who join their marching-band programs. Because of the knowledge and experience acquired here at Niles West, many students have been able to join college marching bands and enjoy the travel benefits of those bands right away." Panache, under the instruction of Debbie Wiles, provided a unique opportunity to Niles West students. Very few high schools in the nation have competition color guards, and color guard classes comparable to those offered at Niles West aren't normally available at universities. In this, its first year, Panache also had to overcome the inadequate amount of money it was budgeted, through extensive fundraising. As Band director Koch recognized, however, it was well worth it. When asked why more schools don't have competition color guards, Koch responded, "Competition color guard is an integral part of my program; most directors aren't aware of the benefits it offers to the students or to the over-all band program."

Color Guard 81 �NHS: Crusading for charity The National Honor Society differs from other clubs in that it is a philanthropically oriented club which restricts its membership to students who are leaders in both the academic and extra curricular life of the school. The civicminded nature of the club is emphasized by its sponsor, Mrs. Linda Horowitz, who stated, "The purpose of this club is to provide an arena in which students can do good deeds and help needy organizations and causes. " Forty-five students comprised the club's membership. Of these 45, Sam Volchenboum was elected president; Tania Lee acted as vice-president; Rachel Oliker was the club's secretary; and Matthew Klapman served as treasurer. At the outset, Mrs. Horwitz stated, "We intend to participate in more activities than ever before." This goal was realized by the club's involvement in numerous activities, including: an interscholastic volleyball tournament, a snackbar sale, a visit to hospitalized children on Halloween, a canned food drive, a food drive, a visit to the elderly, sponsorsip of spelling bees for local junior high schools, and the collection of donations for the Crusade of Mercy. Members of the club expressed their feelings regarding their involvement in NHS. Senior Bryan Wada commented, " The activities we do in NHS are pursued vigorously. Whether their results are immediate or more subtle, just knowing that everything we do will do some good makes a person feel satisfied." Leah Seef stated, "NHS gives me a chance to help people in the community who are less fortunate than myself. " Sponsor Horowitz summed up her feelings about the club by observing, "Working with NHS is an extremely rewarding experience. These talented young people have given freely of their time and energy to help others." This is the core of the National Honor Society, gifted students contributing their time and abilities for worthy causes.

Sponsor Mrs. Lopez commented, "l feel proud to be the sponsor of the Spanish Honor Society. These students are the most outstanding ones in our department because they are truly dedicated to studying Spanish and to becoming acquainted with the Spanish culture. " Senior member Depak Sathy concluded, "Not only does the Spanish Honor Society give me a chance to help people who need it, but it also enhances my knowledge of the Spanish culture and their way of life."

Sponsor Angela Graham stated, "Both established Korean Americans who wish to know more about Korean culture and language, and recently arrived Korean immigrants who can share their backgrounds and learn to adapt to American ways comprise the Korean Club membership." President Steve Kim and Vice-President Ester Bae led the group through various activities. The Korean Association Volleyball Tournament proved to be a fun and charitable event. Another event involved entertaining Korean senior citizens, with the entertainment provided by club members. Other unique events included car washes, Tae Kwon Do classes, and the club's participation in International Night. Senior member Brian Yoo explained the purpose of the club when he stated, "Through every activity I have learned a little something about Korea and Koreans.''

Club member Daniel Lee stated, "The Chinese Club is a place of enjoyment and entertainment that also gives a sense of commitment and accomplishment." Simone added, "The members of this club thoroughly enjoy being together, planning activities, practicing their songs and dances, and seeing each others accomplishments. This is a terrific club!" In addition to promoting friendships and spreading awareness of the Chinese culture to Asian-Americans, the Chinese Club also provided aid to newly-arrived Chinese students.

Under the leadership of Mark Gussin, president; HeeJai Kwon, vice president; Erika Taraschewsky, treasurer; and Karen Janessa, secretary, the Club pursued its purpose of experiencing traditions of the German culture. Noted Club sponsor George Brink, "We have a nice group of students- it is very gratifying working with them." The German Club prides itself on its annual day in Germantown. Other Club activities included various fundraisers, attending a Sting soccer game, and helping out with the school's German exchange program. Capturing the essence of the German Club, member Christina Holler observed, "The German Club is a great opportunity for people, who otherwise wouldn't experience German culture, to participate in activities with a German background and theme."

Mark Gussin ''Gut'', traditional fun The purpose of the Spanish Club was to enrich the Spanish program by giving the students the opportunity of participating in cultural activities available in the community, outside of class. The sponsors were Olga Georgiev and Trudy O'Reilly. O'Reilly states, "It is the students' club and we give them as much support as we can." Many exciting trips and activities were planned. For example, they visited the Children of Casa Central in order to give them a Valentine party, they held a dinner at a Spanish restaurant, and some juniors and seniors attended the Spanish immersion weekend in Wisconsin. Fundraisers were also held in order to raise money for San Salvador and the Mexican relief. The club was led by President Michele Weinberg and vice-president Rachel Oliker. "Spanish Club helps you learn a different culture; not only a different language," stated member Susan Quach.

First, there was a fundraiser in the fall, selling assorted candies in cut-glass containers. In February, members watched a French movie, and in March, they all trekked to downtown Chicago to visit the Art Institute. All members Joined the French Club because of their common interest in learning more about the French culture. The members met on Wednesdays after school to plan activities, and discuss possible field trips. The officers responsible for the club's smooth organization were President Mary Pobol, Vice-President Devra Resnick, Secretary Leonid Ayzenberg, and Treasurer Lisa Friedman. These four helped to keep the meetings operating without mishap throughout the whole year. Front row: Tracy Feldman .

The purpose of the Israeli Club is to explore in depth the Israeli culture and history while having fun and meeting new people in the process. This year's board of directors were: David Wallerstein, president; David Meltz, vice president; Michelle Weberman, secretary; and Karla Dubey and Ellen Epstein, treasurers. Besides becoming cultured this year, the members of the club also became chefs. A bake sale was held at the snack bar. "We plan to donate most of the money made to charities connected with Israel," said Senior David Wallerstein. The Israeli club also held its annual Chanukah party. Senior Steve Reitman stated, "The Israeli Club is an excellent way for people to come together to learn about Judaism, help l)eedy Jewish people, and have a really good time.

"The Hellenic Club is where Greek and in some cases, non-Greek students can meet and discuss this exotic culture, their heritage, participate in activities, and just have fun," stated President Andrea Papadakis. Other officers included Vice-president and secretary Demetrios Limberopoulos, and treasurer Andreas Limberopoulos. The thirty-five members met and discussed their ideas two or three times a month. They held an annual dinner at Mykonos Restaurant, participated in International Night, and most importantly, they raised money for Kalamata, a city in Greece that was recently struck by a most terrifying and damaging earthquake. " The Hellenic Club is something I just recently became interested in because it brings teenagers of the same culture together. It makes me proud that we sponsor a Hellenic Club, considering the many schools that have seemed to have overlooked its importance to the students and to the school," replied junior Simeon Kaltourrnidis.

Although freshmen were just starting their high school careers, they were not about to let a moment of it go to waste. In the fall, Freshman Cabinet participated in the sale of Homecoming buttons and built a float for the Homecoming parade. Led by President Brian Marcus and Vice-President Layla Arsan, they also planned many other activities, including a Chocolate Lovers' Bake Sale and a recreational event with Niles North. To its advantage, the Cabinet had an unusually large membership and they were ready to take part in anything. The class of 1990 was sponsored by Miss Zucker, who claimed, "This is the most enthusiastic, creative group of freshmen that I have worked with." In addition to leading the freshman class activities, Cabinet members had fun and met a lot of new people. Cabinet member Yvonne Barazi explained, "It's a great way to meet students from other schools, especially when you're a freshman and you don't know a lot of people." If the class of1990 is this enthusiastic as freshmen, just wait until they are seniors!

Consisting of approximately 20 volunteers from the class of '88, Cabinet helped unify the students, and make school a "funner" place to be. The officers elected for the junior class were President Benjamin Malkin and Vice-President Greg Rudin. "Our main objective was to plan and organize the annual Junior-Senior Prom, stated Malkin. Since a project like this is so expensive, many fundraisers were held throughout the year, including a jumbo cookie sale and numerous Tootsie Pop sales. Also, Junior Cabinet sponsored the ever-popular Battle of the Bands. Amy Chertow commented, "We all worked really hard together to get the job done, and it sure showed."

Senior cabinet sets pace The members of Senior Cabinet had worked together for three or four years, and by senior year, knew how to put together an activity and make it work. As Vice-Pres ident, James Van Osdol stated, " We had a rip roarin' fun time this year. Our events were successfu l and the kids were just great. " Toward the beginning of the year, they sponsore d a volleybal l tourname nt, in which only seniors participated. The tournout was great and everyone had fun. Around Christma s time, they chose to make a visit to Hull House, an orphanag e. They presented the children with gifts, played games, and even had a 'Santa Claus' to hear their wishes. Both the kids and members enjoyed it. Senior Elaine Barringto n felt, " It was an experienc e I'll never forget. Everyone had a great time. " Along with many taffy apples and bake sales, the cabinet planned a Battle of the Bands, in which students involved in a band of their own got their band to play in front of the school and gave a "mock" concert to earn more money to achieve their two goals: to be able to pay for a huge senior issue of the school newspap er and to buy a senior gift like no other class had presented to the school before. Senior Cabinet came up with new and exciting ideas at every productiv e meeting. The year was filled with novel ideas that were appreciat ed by all classes.

Senior Cabinet 91 �Unity provides success The name says it all. Student Union's main ingredient is unity. Students from all four class levels work together to plan activities for the whole school to participate. Student Union's largest task was planning Homecoming. "The Wonderful World of Disney" was the theme of the week. For the first time, the class cabinets helped out with the planning of the activities. Union, though, made most of the general decisions and came up with the ideas. The whole week was very successful. "From pep rallies to the dance, everything turned out great." commented Union officer Elaine Barrington. Another first in Union history was a male president. For the first time ever a guy led the Union. President Andy Sprogis liked the idea of being the first male president. "I think even more guys should be involved in the planning of school activities," said Sprogis.

Student government's legislative group, the Student Senate, found its year filled with all of its usual responsibilities, as well as at least one very important new one-evaluation of the Closed Hallway System, from the students point of view. Speaking about the traditional role of Senate, President Mike Phillips stated that, "Student Senate aims to improve conditions for the students, not byplanning dances and events which we think will be "fun," but by addressing issues of policy and petitioning for changes when the policy seems to be unjust or unfair." Senate's method for improving conditions comes in the form of a "motion"- a formal request for change that is written by a Senate member, is discussed, amended if necessary, and voted upon by the Senate, and, if approved, sent to the Administration for action. Other responsibilities of the Senate included the running of Freshman elections, development of the "meet the Board," and the evaluation of the Closed Hallway System. In the words of Vice-President Mark Gussin, "The greatest thing about Student Senate is that it gives the students a chance to take part in the development and revision of the policies that affect them most." And that it does. Dale Sherman Seniors Craig Keer and James Vanosdol are selling taffy apples in order to support their club. As you can see, Keer is already enjoying their sales.

Yearbookers balance year "Yearbook Production is a creative, challenging, and demanding course. Students must be willing to spend much time beyond the forty minute class period to produce a quality book," stated sponsor Jerome Orr. The theme of the 1987 yearbook, A Question of Balance, truly characterized the staff. Editors and reporters worked together to create a memorable publication. Hours spent agonizing over pictures and copy turned into pages that came alive with details of the year. Without the dedication of the entire staff, Spectrum never could have been completed. Finally, in Mid-March, when every cropper was broken, every wax pencil lost, every picture torn, and every sticker, layout paper and copy sheet used, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Under the leadership of editor-in-chief Diane Smason, the staff published fifteen quality issues including the winter holiday special and the traditional senior publication. "Despite our small staff, we worked well together under great pressure and strict deadlines," stated Smason.

To sum it up Over the years, the Math Team has expanded its number of participants and its involvement in competitions. The club's membership comprised 50-75 members which included a healthy mix of freshmen, sophomores, and upperclassmen. " I believe that problem solving is one of the most important aspects of modem mathematics, therefore it is extremely rewarding for me to be able to be involved in an activity which has at its core teaching our students this important skill," observed one of the team's sponsors. " Unlike many other clubs in which one does nothing or relatively little, the Math Team gives me an opportunity to expand my horizons by learning some math and having a good time," stated Junior member Alex Tzortzis. Junior Fernando Fen commented, " The Math Team is really a unique club. It serves as a supplement to my math classes and provides a competitive, yet enjoyable atmosphere for learning math which I have found nowhere else." Tom Dallianis 98 Math Tea m/ Academic Competition How do Niles West students find an outlet for their academic talent? Joining the Academic Competition Club, otherwise known as the Academic Bowl Team, is one way, Sponsored by Carl Geis and Faith Shapiro, the Academic Competition Club includes students who excel in academic subjects. " You really see quality students in this club," stated Mr. Geis. The club~s plans included an IHSA sponsored competition, and next year a national champion will be chosen. This shows how much the Academic Competition Club has progressed throughout the ·years. Presently, the club consists of twelve members, but with recognition, the club hopes that more quality students will consider this to be a favorable pasttime. As one member of this academic club, senior Fred Pyter stated, " It's a strange amalgam of Trivial Pursuit, Jeopardy, and every AP exam known to man. It's really a challeoge!"

Senior Michele Feinberg and junior Jinjer Brody realize that clubs are a great way to meet people and become • involved. Public awareness of drunk driving has increased, thanks to participation and pubicity of S.A.D.D., Students Against Driving Drunk. Sponsor Jim Puff commented, "I was impressed with the number of students this year who signed up for S.A.D.D, and showed an interest in wanting to tell others about the dangers of drunk driving." S.A.D.D. consisted of 180 members, including the five officers: CoPresidents Diane Smason and Michele Feinberg; VicePresident Jinjer Brody; Secretary Chris Samuel; and Treasurer Danielle Chams. This dedicated group sponsored a variety of activities. Movies about Driving Under the Influence were shown in the cafeteria, and a "totaled" car rested on the front lawn during prom to remind everyone not to drink and drive. A S.A.D.D. meeting was filmed by Group W Cable to inform those outside Niles West of the dangers of driving drunk. The main goal of the Niles West S.A.D.D. Chapter was to make students more aware of DUI, and the effect it has on today's youth. Christine Kim stated, "S.A.D.D. is a great way to learn, and to tell others about the dangers of DUI." As sophomores Megan Goldish and Mindy Grossberg plainly put it, "S.A.D.D. can save your life!" Christine Kim Junior Bryan Mittelman states his opinions on drunk driving to fellow SADD members. Individual opinions and ideas are openly discussed at meetings. SADD 99 �Leading the way Helping other students improve their fitness and physical skills was only one goal of the Leaders P.E. program. Leaders was a group of 151 members who had the opportunity to test individual leadership and teach their peers. One member, Dora Connell stated, "Leaders is really a lot of fun. You learn how to be responsible for other gym classes as well as help out the P.E. teachers conduct class." The sponsors of the Leaders program were Mr. Bill Schnurr and Ms. Lee Heeren, who agreed that Leaders was beneficial to both students and teachers. "The most rewarding part of our job is to see students working together for self-improvement and to see students giving up their own time to help someone else," Coach Schnurr explained. Sophomore Carl Helwing agreed, saying, "Leaders is such an experience. It's fun, challenging and encouraging."

Sponsor Terese Klinger, Spanish teacher, stated, " The student tutors give generously of their time, even staying after school ... their service and contribution to their fellow students is commendable."

The Debate Club is unique from other clubs owing to the fact that it allows the interested student an opportunity to develop his or her forensic skills by providing a forum for debate. The club's purpose is described by its sponsor, Mr. James Clark Batts, who stated, "The club exists to facilitate students in their speaking and intellectual skills while also providing a social outlet." Twenty students comprised the club's membership. Of these 20, Jeanie Ahn was president and Greg Rosow was vice-president. As debate is allotted a budget, it is capable of having very few officers. The club had as its intention the goal of being more active. This goal was realized by the club's attendance at a great number of tournaments this year. Members of the club expressed their views regarding the club. President Ahn commented, " From my years in debate I have been taught the meaning of commitment and personal sacrifice while reaping great dividends. " Member Kyung Chang stated, "Debate is an activity which requires both time and commitment, but it has tremendous rewards. " Sponsor Batts capsulized the club's essence when he stated, " Debate is an undeniably worthwhile activity which encourages clear analytical thinking and communication skills. Nothing can help a student more." Debate then is a truly purposeful club with a meaningful goal, improving the thinking and forensic abilities of interested students.

The goal of raising money to donate to the American Cancer Society made us successful." The 15 member group was headed by Co-Presidents Cecile Yoon and Debbie Virchinsky, Vice President Lisa Virchinsky, and Secretary/ Treasurer Gail Dennis. In addition to sponsoring the annual Great American Smokeout, the club added to its activities by inviting a trained individual to teach the grnup CPR.

This was the second year that Peer Counseling had been sponsored. Social worker David Lee responded, 'Tm happy that this program has been successful. I hope it will continue for many years to come. I feel it can be beneficial to any student who is dedicated to the program." The participating students met once a week after school for an hour. At these meetings, students learned about problem solving, decision making, and group activities and experiences. In addition, the students were prepared to lead their own peer group. In September, homerooms were divided and leaders were assigned to recruit from a specific homeroom. The response was encouraging. The peer group, led by two leaders, met once a week for about 10-12 weeks of each semester. Peer Counseling expanded by the addition of a group of trainee student leaders for next year. They also met once a week after school for an hour. Senior Adam Mizock commented, "It was a once-in-a-lifetime chance for me to become involved. I am glad the program was started. I met many new people in the group. Also, I learned a lot about people, and more importantly, I learned about myself." Senior Andrew Rudin concluded, "I am sorry to be leaving Peer Counseling. However, I am confident that next year's leaders will carry on the program just as well as we did."

Peer Counseling 109 �Athletes keep balance Running the gamut from football to baseball, tennis to track, Niles West athletics are an integral part of everyday school life. Athletes balance their "careers" rather well. Having to practice up to thirty hours a week and complete daily homework to a similar extent, it doesn't come easy, but West athletes manage. Those involved in sports develop a balance of mental and physical strength. Competing in interschool athletics teaches one to always stay on top of given situations- to outsmart the competition. Senior Daniel Kaplan, varsity football player, said, "Although the equilibrium of academics and athletics is not always the easiest to maintain, we get by rather well, as evidenced by strong scoring by all our teams." Senior Craig Keer, varsity soccer captain, remarked, "Niles West sports are happening. Strong performance results in strong, positive feelings." 110 Sports-Division �SPORTS • - The girls' junior varsity volleyball team takes time out to discuss their strategy for the next play.

The make-up of the team will be different from past years. I've never had this many young players that will start in key positions. 'Teamwork' will be the slogan this year. " The freshman team tried to repeat the success of last year's team. The players sacrificed a lot of time in the season to put together a productive year.

Coming off a spectacular 13-1 summer league season, the Indians had reason to hold their heads high. The Cagers won 13 games in a row before falling to Maine East in the championship game. Needless to say, expectations for the regular season were high. Captain Greg Czernik, a senior, was excited about the team and said, "Everyone has been looking forward to this season and our positive attitudes accelerated us." The team had four returning starters and six lettermen whose experience aided them throughout the season. Senior co-captain Andy Sprogis believed that the team's experience helped. "We've learned a lot in the past four years and have become a closely knit team,'' he declared. Coach Tom Meyer also believed that the team's experience, size, and speed was important to the team's success. Seniors Tom Kenn, Jim Wills, and Greg Czernik dominated the rebounding charts, while senior Ben Guy and junior Dan Gold utilized their quickness as they ran the fastbreak. "The squad featured fastbreak basketball with a strong inside game," stated Coach Meyer. Meyer and his team had high aspirations and did their best to fulfill them.

Coach Doyle explained, "If we are able to be successful the team will have to play aggresively, defending the hustling all the time. We also need to play as a team and not as individuals." Besides learning the importance of teamwork, players perfected other essential skills. "The practices were tiring but we all know that it was for the good of the team," said freshman Jim Nikolakakis. Freshman Brian VanMersbergen summed it all up by saying, "The last game we played was a challenge but we hope to prove our greatness in our future games." This year's team is also full of talent. The sophomore team has a freshman starting on it. With all of the tiring practices, teamwork, and flowing talent on the basketball teams, Niles West fans can look forward to winning seasons.

"Working with this group of girls was very enjoyable. Their great attitude made my job easy," commented Coach Hansen of the freshmen team. Expressing similar sentiments, J .V Coach Klebba stated, " This group had great spirit and they seem to have enjoyed both the practices and games, even the losses." Though both teams faced a rather tough schedule and many disappointments, a number of the girls, including, sophomores Gail Hortelano, Hilary Kaden, Kelli Lockner, Kristi Lall, Stacey Lasker, and freshmen Julie Berg and Doreen Kestler, demonstrate great promise. As Klebba verified, "Girls' Basketball, as a spectator sport, is one of the best-kept secrets of high school sports.

They finished the season with a winning record of 11 wins and five losses, the best record in the last four years. Outstanding runners were sophomore Marty Bach, junior Steve Rosen, and senior Mark Kim. The sophomore team, led by Bach, also finished with a winning record of nine wins and six losses. All-conference Marty Bach ran on both varsity and sophomore levels. Regrettably, the freshman season was more disappointing, as they ended the season with three wins and eight losses. With a small team compared to some other area schools, the boys made their mark at many dual meets and invitationals. Varsity Coach Savage commented, "This year we set the nucleus for a real good team next year." Coach Savage also added, "Good cross country runners are students who have a determination to do well in school as well as in athletics. Few students are willing to pay the price to be good at both athletics and academics.· · " TOE-ING" THE LINE. Sophomore Marty Bach concentrates on the finish of his race.

Kathy Campbell and Gail Dennis were team captains. All-conference runners were senior Kathy Campbell, junior Gail Dennis, and sophomores Debbie Pozdol and Peggy Campbell. The team placed second overall in their conference, and first in regionals. The top runners were Kathy Campbell, Peggy Campbell, Debbie Pozdol, Gail Dennis, Sharon Smith, Julie Tomczyk, Kim Pees, and Lisa Vetra. Coaches Judi Sloan and John Armour were pleased with the team's effort. "What made this team so unique to me is that, for once, we put it all together when it really mattered. Even though we lost a lot of meets and invitationals during the season, the kids believed enough in themselves to come back at the end of the season and be one of the most powerful teams in our region. They never gave up or stopped working," said Coach Sloan. BREAKING AWAY. frj!shman Kim Pees sprints ahead with perfect stride at the conference meet held at Niles West. CURBSIDE COURAGE.

Niles West's starting offense included seniors Dan Kaplan, Paul Kasprak, Curt Takiguchi, Gary Korrub and Elliott Baretz. The starting defense was built around J.J. McCulloh, Brian Buehling, Matt Klapman, Li Wang and Tony Kim. However, prospects for a winning season changed after a rash of injuries left the Indians without starting players at 11 of 22 positions. All four team captains, Todd Kassel, Curt Takiguchi, Paul Kasprak and J.J. McCulloh, suffered from injuries. In addition, seniors Li Wang, Gary Nudelman IN THE CRUNCH.

"We put our heads together and tried to play the best we could with what we had," said senior B.J. Miller. "The way I see it, no one else could have prepared any harder. I guess luck wasn't with us this year," added senior Elliott Baretz. When asked how the team's spirit held up despite the numerous inuries, Coach Richardson replied, ' 'I've been very pleased with the attitude and spirit of this football team. Some teams might have given up ·after losing their best players. But our boys have played hard against some of the strongest teams in the state. The questions of how good we could have been with everyone healthy always enters our minds. The team's numerous injuries did not completely damper the season.

Varsity coach Burkel commented, "Our Varsity team was larger than usual and their ability was quite substantial. The only schools which posed a problem to us were Rolling Meadows, Addison Trail and Evanston, which had the state champion on its team." Of the 25 gymnastics team members, those gymnasts whom the coaches felt deserved special recognition included: seniors Tom Joseph, all around; Scott Jackson, still rings; Sung Kim, parallel bars; Rajen Patel, parallel bars; Jordan Borak, pommel horse; Glen Christophersen, main vaulter; and junior Darrin Baim, all around. Some members remarked on their involvement on the team. Junior Darryl Colen stated, "Overall, gymnastics is a fairly good team to be on. Practice is often exhausting and tedious, but in the end its advantages usually outweigh its disadvantages." Most members agreed that boys' gymnastics is a productive activity which gives students an opportunity to gain expertise in gymnastics with the help and guidance of experienced coaches.

The J.V. t~amconsisted of seven returning girls tlfat had depth and potential. Each girl made her contribution which led to the success of the team. "The girls worked toward improving their level of difficulty, but still were consistent and maintained proper form throughout the season," said Coach Marie Helgeson.

It marked the birth of the Niles West Hockey Team. Though not officially sanctioned by the school, the hockey Indians must all be Niles West students and they wear the red and white proudly in each game. There are, of course, doubts about how well any newly-formed team will fare against veteran opponents, but the Indians shattered all disbelief through strong victories over tough, experienced opponents like the Notre Dame Dons. Team Sponsor Jim Ledwon, father ofjunior goalie Tim and freshmen center Scott Ledwon, stated that, "At first we were hoping for a 'five hundred ' season, but with each game that we played, we proved we could accomplish much more," and " much more" is exactly what they did accomplish . Explaining the team's success, senior wing Scott Mandi said, " There's a certain chemistry out on the ice. We play very well together. " As the team improved with each and every game, they soon established themselves as a powerhouse in the Central Division of the Metropolitan Hockey League. The Indians' formula for success was a combination of great skating and stick handling skills like that of team captain junior Chris Kopier, the type of hard checking thatjunior defenseman Aaron Joffe liked to dish out, and the stingey goaltending of Ledwon in the nets. Hopefully, the team's first year success will carry on long into th e future. Dale Sherman Boys Hock ey 139 �PEP TALK.

However, the team experienced a frustrating set· back when multi-talented Jason Mueller moved away. Senior Craig Keer commented, 'Tm proud of this year's team. Despite the loss of lead· ership of Jason Mueller, we have been very dedicated and always gave 110%." The team played close and competitive games with five of the top teams in the state. Throughout the season, the Indians frightened almost every team by putting pressure on them during the entire game. Outstanding varsity players included co-captains Craig Keer and Jimmy Kim. Other excellent players were seniors Rob Wolak, Eddie Engels, and Mike Giterman. Juniors Alix Kogan, Tom Yim, and Henry Yim also played remarkably well, and left the team 140 Boys Soccer with an optimistic outlook for next year. Varsity Coach Brennan congratulated this year's Varsity soccer team. Ten out of the 18 teams that were on the schedule had been ranked. It was a credit to the school and the team that they had taken each game, one at a time, and given it all they could. Co-captain Jimmy Kim explained, "This year has been very productive and quite a learning experience. Even though our record does not reflect our dedication or talent, I'm very happy with our results." Although JV Coach Klebba was not looking forward to losing some of his better players to the Varsity team next year, he was pleased that his team was bigger and stronger than most of their opponents. He felt that the team had a tremendous interest in playing games and that they were always will· ing to play a game against anybody. "When we were rained out for three days, I went crazy not being able to play soccer, because I love it so much," stated junior George Kolovos. Unfortunately for the Indians, other schools were just more skillful at trapping, passing, and ~~ogting. Junior George Langis added, " Even though we didn't win all our games, we never quit trying." Junior Robert Keller concluded, "This has been a great year for the JV team. We learned a lot and had a great time. ,f am sorry to be leaving the JV team, but I am greatly anticipating being on Varsity next year." Outstanding members includ· ed juniors Ray Castro, Craig Gramatis, Mike Tipescu, Andy Harold, George Langis, and sophomore Andreas Limber1 �UP, UP AND AWAY.

A goal for the future The coaches of freshman and sophomore boys soccer were very positive regarding the performance of their respective teams. Freshman Coach Peter Zorn said that his team was "truly devoted." Sophomore Coach Jim Sweeney expressed similar feelings, stating, "My sophomore team will definitely form the nucelus of next year's Varsity team, and they should place very well in their conference games." Although positive, both coaches were realistic, and aware of their disadvantages: Zorn commented, "We're doing well, but the rains early on in the season set us back quite a 142 Boys Soccer bit, and the lack of park district programs for soccer, which other schools have, has certainly hurt us." Players whom the coaches felt deserved spe· cial commendation included Fresh· men Rack Lee, Michael Park, Richard Choi, Mark Buisseret and Dennis Kusecek. Outstanding sophomores were Andreas Limber, cenfer forward; Lambros Kalamaris, sweeper; and Andreas Harris, defender. In addition to the players, the coaches deserve recognition. The pride which both coaches openly expressed in their teams were commendable. All coaches should be as dedicated as Zorn and Sweeney. �Bottom Row: Tim Paek, Scott Schoen, Lenny Lev, Frank Daiello, Ave Horwitz.

"More important than winning was having a great time," added senior Joann Bellos. The JV and freshman team also put in many hours of practice to reach their full potential. According to sophomore Cari Miller, "All the hard work and dedication paid off." Junior Chris Milewski added, "I felt that the team has advanced in their playing skills and reached their goals as players and had an exciting year."

Coach Sfickas, however, felt confident about the team because of the return of twelve varsity players. There are three different levels in girls' softball: varsity, junior varsity, and a freshman team. There was an average of fifteen players on each team. Coach Sfickas hoped that with senior Diane Field-catcher, senior Jodi Israel-center field, and senior Kathy Cote-pitcher/ infielder, the varsity team would be led to victory. Part of their success was due to the closeness of the group. Senior Diane Field commented, ' The team, this year, is very close knit. We have all made personal goals as well as team goals. A common goal among the team is to go undefeated. I feel that with a lot of work and dedication this may become a reality." New to softball this year was a Freshman Team. The coach is Steve Ramseyer. This new program was started in order to start training the players so that their ability would improve by their senior year. This was one program that tried to strengthen the softball team for the future. Elaine Barrington Softba ll 147 �PERFECT FORM. Good form plays an important role in scoring well on a dive.

Setting goals "Take your mark, get set. go!" These magic words, followed by the whistle, signaled the swimmers to dive off the starting blocks and plunge into the water. Whether doing the backstroke, breaststroke, or but· terfly, the boys swim team was adept at it all. The Junior Varsity and Varsity swim teams' major goals were to get third place in conference and to qualify as many swimmers as possible for state. "Although the team lost a lot of seniors, the team is basically looking for their best times," stated senior swimmer Da· vid Haberkorn. The team's exceptional swimmers were seniors Ed Sanchez, Mike Gut and junior Brian Gut. Coach Don Larson was very optimistic about having a big season, while sophomore Coach Steve Ramseyer said," I hope to have an above average season. They just have to work hard and we'll be competitive. Although this year we lost a lot of our key individuals to Varsity, we have a lot of interesting newcomers.

Although the number of swimmers decreased slightly from last year, Lucas claimed, "It's the quality, not the quantity." Dedication and spirit were most important this season. Despite their 2-9 record, the team stuck together through the good and bad. "The team spirit is terrific and we always make the best of our meets, whether we win or lose," commented junior Wendy Martin. Martin, along with junior Mary Theodore and sophomores Mamy Pierini and Patty Tzortzis, led the team in the 200 medley relay. Junior Kathy Brophy, freshman Joan Jovero, and sophomore divers Mia Adler and Mamie Malnekoff also showed outstanding individual performances. Adler broke the JV record and competed at the varsity level. "The self confidence they showed in themselves really helped them achieve their goals, their success is something the whole team is proud of," replied head diving coach Torrez. Jodi Nebbia, the assistant coach, also helped a great deal, not only with organizing the meets, but also with keeping the swimmers in the water. "Next year looks even more promising, not only because almost all of us are returning, but because the excellent support and coaching that we had will be available to us again next year. Maybe this will bring more swimmers together," stated sophomore Patty Tzortzis. The girls ended their season by placing fifth in conference.

The Indians came off a successful year in 1986, winning sectionals and advancing the entire team to the state tournament. The players also acquired two new coaches, replacing head coach Frank Sacks and assistant coach Len Winans. The new varsity coach was Mr. Ernie Mitropoulis, while Mr. Ron Gralewski took command of the frosh-soph team. The new coaches brought a great deal of excitement as well as many new techniques and ideas, to the team. 'Tm very excited about our new coach. It was interesting to see how another person takes charge of the same group of kids, " commented senior co-captain Tom Malkin. Amidst all the excitement, however, the team lost a fine player. Sophomore Eric " Scoop" Schulman, a singles player, was lost to the sunny skies of Arizona. The team, however, enjoyed success in spite of this disappointing loss. " We just had to work a little harder to fill the void that Eric left," stated junior Roh it Patel. The varsity team had five returning members including seniors Tom Malkin, Mike Russo and Sam Varghese. Coach Mitropoulis admitted, "I was quite pleased with the performance of the returning lettermen, as well as the season overall. " Michael Russo Boys Tennis 153 �ON YOUR MARK.

The team, dominated by juniors, worked hard to defend the Indian name. Outstanding members of the team included juniors Doug Hirsh, Larry Meyer, Steve Rosen, Angelo Tsagalis, Ben Vashon, and senior Mark Kim. Senior Jay Swidler commented, "This year we have a really good chance of making it all the way to conference because of the great effort put forth by the younger members of the team. The Niles West Track Team has a very bright future in front ot it." The approximately forty members trained day and night for their competitions, running in the hallways after school when the weather was unsatisfactory, and running outside when the weather was suitable. "The team consisted of several fine individual athletes who expect to have a lot of success during the season," stated Coach Campbell. "Everyone had a really great time. The coaches helped us immensely, building up our self-confidence and motivating us to work our hardest," said junior Roderick Pintang. Being a member on the team can be a rewarding experience. Team members can learn a lot about themselves, from coping with defeat, to finding their physical limitations. Without teamwork and discipline, Niles West would not have such a fine track team.

With their outstanding talent, they should do very well in competition." This statement, made by coach Jean Armour, reflected a great deal of confidence. Coach Armour headed the team of 30 dedicated girls, who worked hard during practices in order to develop their potential. Some of these members were: senior Kathy Campbell;juniors Sara Kim, Gaif Dennis and Lori Yetter; and sophomore Peggy Campbell. Junior Sarah Kim commented, "On track, a runner learns to work and encourage teammates during those tough meets. It is a good experience for everyone involved." Junior Gail Dennis added, " Track is really a good sport because it keeps you so fit." "Track and field is a sport which allows an athlete to compete both as an individual and for the team," coach Armour concluded, "There is an event for everyone in track, from throwing and jumping to sprints and distance events."

Volleyball season has come once again. The freshmen teams led by Coaches MatIak and Nisbet, had a tough season but improved a great deal. Coach Nisbet stated, "Each of the girls worked hard. I know Coach Sfickas is looking forward to working with this team in years to come." "The girls help support each other. They are aggressive on the court and are fighters to the end," added Coach Matlak. The JV team had a winning record of seven and three under Coach Ray Carr. The team placed fourth in the Evanston tournament. In the conference they tied for first with Deerfield and Maine West. Everyone on the team was pleased with the season. "We played as a team and supported each oth- er," said juniors Emily Yep and Julie Daehler. The Varsity team, coached by Paula • Sfickas, practiced long and hard for their season. However, injuries set them back. Senior Karla Hellestrae sprained her ankle and was out for most of the season. Just a few games later Lynn "Peeps" Piper sprained her foot. The injuries did not stop there. Not long afterward, Linda Steiner broke her finger. Through all of this, the team managed to win seven games. It was not considered a winning season, but the players thought it was a great season. "Even though we didn't win a lot of games we had good fan participation and we were inspired." said Karla Hellestrae. Lynn Piper added, "We had a fun season because everyone got along real well."

This statement made by Coach Bob Porter reflected confidence and assurance, even though ten of last year's twelve starters, including three state qualifiers, graduated. Coach Porter commented, "It is a young team, mostly juniors, and hard workers." Some of these outstanding members who, by the season's end, became conference champions were: Junior John Lee who competed at 98 pounds, junior Greg Rudin at 105 pounds, junior George Santillan at 119, junior Scott D'Agostino at 126, and senior Andy Rudin at 145. These wrestlers, and the rest of the Varsity team competed in the Regional tournament. Coach Porter remained optimistic that the Indians would emerge victorious from this year's regionals, even through a year when wrestlers learned and obtained more experience. Junior Greg Rudin added, "I think that when everyone wrestles up to their ability, we do well. We work very hard." Lilianna Williamson FROM THE SIDELINES.

In reality, it is a very difficult sport to master. The wrestlers put a great deal of time and effort into their training. Between staying after school to prepare for meets and all the homework from school, there is a lot of pressure on the athletes. Freshman Riki Utsunomiya commented, " Although wrestling is a lot of work, it is all worth it because it is very exciting especially when you win. " Coach Harootunian has successfully led his team to many victories. ' 'There are a lot of hard working kids on the team. They've made a lot of progress. " The coach commends the team for all their determination. Sophomore Bob Pine concluded, "Although we have had to forfeit many weights, we still had a winning season and I'm looking forward to next season."

Amy Grimaldi Boys Wrestling 163 �Achieving the balance Senior year, more than any other, taught students to allocate their time wisely. With college applications, homework, and extracurricular activities such as football, soccer, student government or newspaper, most Niles West seniors discovered only a few hours could be devoted to each of their pursuits. Homecoming, prom, seminar for scholars, and many other activities, held throughout the year, helped to relieve seniors' anxieties concerning academics, however. By second semester, even a touch of senioritis could be observed in West's hallways. So, despite the hectic schedule most seniors faced, their high school experience was a combination of relief, nostalgia, and appreciation. "After four years at West, I've grown accustomed to its surroundings, and its going to be hard to start all over again," explained senior Caress Calara. 'Tm really happy to be graduating, but I'm going to miss my friends." 164 Seniors-Division �SENIORS Senior Alyssa Tadelman finishes the last verse of " Just One Person" before cooling her throat with some 7 up.

No, it's much better than that. It is, of course, the Senior Section of the Cafeteria, a place where plans and friendships have been made and broken. The south end or the cafeteria, near the place where you are supposed to put your trays, is home away from home for many seniors. Seniors even have their own vending machines and lunch line (the one closest to the south exit of the cafeteria). Underclassmen must move over for seniors when they are in this line. The round tables signify the power and prestige the senior has achieved, almost like King Aurthur and his Knights of the Round :fable. Still, several seniors expressed some criticism or the area. Greg Czemick suggested, "We need more tables and chairs, oh, and a T.V. and V.C.R. so we can see the episodes of "Miami Vice" we missed while attending private school related social functions over the week· end." Mike Russo complained, "The ta· bles are too small and your feet stick to the floor." Karla Hellstrke added. "We finally got to sit here after four years and now we can't even see the clock." However, the overall response of seniors was positive. James Van Odol summed it all up when he commented, "Sitting at the senior tables is more en-. rapturing than a Robert Frost poem and' twice as exciting as landing ·on the moon. I want to be buried with one of those tables!" ��As the year comes to an end, there is always one question that comes to a senior's mind. "Hey man, Like what do I do now?" There are many choices for seniors when they leave NiWeHi. Some get full-time jobs, either working retail, at gas stations, or even working for dearold Dad. The Army is always looking for good men and women to put their lives on the line for their country. But jobs don't always come easily and the Anny might not want you, so that means you may have to resort to a life of crime, or be a bum. So, when this question comes to mind while you are daydreaming in class, think about these choices. And, if worse comes to worse, you could always go to college. ���Look at the freshmen with their five pens and three books. Hal What ajoke. We were never like that .... Thejoke is on us. We were exactly like that four short years ago. See how we have changed. It's incredible. Sizewise since freshmen year, how many of us have grown six inches? How many of us haven't? Stylewise- how many of us have changed from sweats to "Guess" jeans, or vice-versa? Weekendwise - this is always the most superior and drastic change made. Freshmen year our parents dropped us off everywhere and picked us up at 11:00, our curfew. Now, we drive and stay out until whenever we want. We venture out to new ·and ex.citing territory, downtown, Lake Geneva, downstate, and lots of other places we never could have gone before. Partywise- we have replaced our own little freshmen parties with huge parties that can't be called our own, but could be called everybody's. The scary thought is, next fall we are going to be freshmen again. Bet that all of us will have five pens and three books and the seniors will be laughing at us. Julie Hartman �Regardless of how diverse the Class of '87 is, in both people and personalities, we share one common trait, "senior attitudes." The most prominent attitude displayed by seniors is apathy. Alter enduring the past three years of the same old "schtick," seniors acquire an "I don't care" philosophy. This is reflected in a new-found negligence of daily school work and a lessoning of stress on physical appearance. Another outstanding trait that most seniors exhibit is a classically arrogant attitude. The 'Tm always right, you're always wrong, so don't argue with me" train of thought is a rather common one. One rather easily noticed senior complex is the "laid back attitude." We tend to be relaxed and easy-going about anything that comes our way. Th is feeling usually becomes more evident as the school year progresses, since we've already been accept· ed into college and our social standing has proven solid. Those underclassmen who have to deal with seniors pos· sessing these three aforementioned traits may find it difficult, but they knowingly accept it because they know that soon they will be seniors too. ���The last four years may have been the best or worst of your life. Some seniors expressed their feelings through lines from their favorite songs or movies ... "Changes." David Bowie Allison Rosen "It's a Wild, Wild Life." Talking Heads B.J. Miller "We Don't Need No Education." Pink Floyd Hollie Sobel "Journey to the Center of the Mind." Amboy Dukes Mark Gussin "Those Were the Best Years Of My Life." Bryan Adams Lauri Margolin "No more yanky my wanky the Donger need food." Sixteen Candles Tony Kim "You Know I Know Baby ... I Don't Want to Go." Genesis Bonnie Kaiser "What a Long Strange Trip it's Been." Grateful Dead Kevin Bradbury "Teenage Wasteland." The Who Dan Smigelski "I Heard it Through the Grapevine." Marvin Gaye Eileen Krehely "Someday You'll be Sorry, Someday When You're Free." Genesis Dana Sha· piro "Born to Be Wild." Steppenwolf Elliott Baretz "You see us as you want to." Breakfast Club Dena Abrams "People Are Strange." The Doors Kevin Nolan "The Wild and the Young." Quiet Riot Gary Williams �Senior year marks the end of formal education for some, and what will seem like just the beginning of the educational process to others. To those who are going on to higher education, the choices are vast. A tremendous number of questions need to be answered, including: "Should I stay at home or travel?;" "Should I attend a major state university or a small college?;" "Do I want a public school or a private school?;" "What field do I want to major in?;" and, "Where will I fit in best?" To answer these qustions a student can consult parents, other students or the college counselor. The best person to ask, though, is one's self. The first step is to visit schools of interest to get a feel for what life is like on that particular campus. Then, after gathering information such as class rank, test scores and complete extracurricular background, students must send in written applications to the schools best suited to their interests. Most schools reply with letters of acceptance or rejection within six weeks, and after that, it is all up to the student. No matter where he/she may end up going, though, there is a high probability that they will do just fine after spending four rewarding years here at West. ��Dressing wild was one way for seniors to get loose and show just how much spirit they had for Ni- We- Hi before facing the rigors of college life. Hawaiian Day was the day to break out the leis and wear loud luau clothes. Greeks came out to play in their sheets on Toga Day. On New Year's Eve Day, the halls were filled with party favors and noise makers as seniors anticipated the coming year. All classes participated in dressing up for Halloween, but the seniors were the closest to becoming the true ghosts of Ni-We-Hi's past. Chris Samuel ��As freshman year began, we were the "new kids on the block,'' The times, they were a 'changin,' we did homework 'round the clock. "How will I look?", "How should l act?", "How do l do this right?", These words were ever-present, during our freshman plight. Then, we were sohpomores, maturity no major strength; Getting involved, still making friends; in Ni-We, having faith. Feeling somewhat settled, we became ready for more; taking PSAT's, staying out late, claiming to know the score. Junior year, l suppose that we were just a bit more lax, Weekdays went by slowly, weekends much too fast. ACT's, SAT's, college stuff abounding, We became closer, our collective voice resounding. Finally, we have become seniors, and not at all too soon, The one year to end all, in which great times are strewn. Worries about college, and those things that come next, Become easily eclipsed by the year that is the best. James Vanosdol ��The girl on my right tapped her foot incessantly. The boy on my left stared straight ahead as if in a trance. Me? I certainly was not as cool as a cucumber on that day, May 12, 1986, the day of my first advanced placement test, U.S. history. It was probably the tensest, Most nerve-racking, and just plain difficult test I have ever taken. I studied for days, prayed for months, and finally made it through the three hour tests (was it only three hours? It seemed like eternity!) What did everyone do after the test? Stop studying, but continue praying. Now the question was not, Will I make it through the test?, but, on a scale of 1 to 5, Will I get a 5? For most people, it was a resounding "NO." However, everyone was hoping for at least a 3, which assured college credit. Here are a few other seniors' opinions on the fascinating, mysterious world of AP tests: Mark Savidge: The difficulty level of the AP tests gives me insight as to how I will perform in the adult world. Mark Gussin: The AP exams are intensive tests and really challenge one's knowledge of the subject. Rachel Oliker: They take a lot of preparation, but it pays off when you see your score, usually. Jules Roman: A 2 is better than two l's. Although it takes hours of time and hard work, it is possible to pass the AP test. But that's only U.S. history; there's still European history, calculus, Span; ish, English, physics, . . . • .- 'Leah Seef ���Many seniors work nowadays. Some spent their paychecks, some save every cent for college, and some invest. Where do these ambitious sen· iors work? Here is just a sampling: cashier at Constructive Playthings Sandy Stiegal teacher at a daycare center Michelle Cohen vendors . Steve Reitman, and Eric Litt paralegal . . . . . . . . . . .

Dani Babi David Wallerstein '87 ��Chemistry termed it "equilibrium" Yet, through four years at Ni-We-Hi, The word need not have been defined, For classes, homework, clubs and practice, Forced you to seek a constant balance. You had to find some time as well For other things in life. An hour for this or that you made, All things accomplished in a day, Maintaining a constant balance. Now your time has come at last, Your horizons will expand. So, don't forget the lessons Taught by adolescence: Maturation needs a constant balance. Johanna Pelos ��A.P. classes, mandatory courses, and electives may all be found on a senior's schedule, but the reasons for taking these courses are as different as the seniors themselves. For those seniors considering a competitive university and who want a head start on their college education, there are Advanced Placement, or A.P., courses. These courses are offered in every area of academic study, including, English, math, science, history, and foreign languages. They are designed to prepare a student for the A.P. test given in May. On a scale of five, if a student receives a score of three or better he/she may find it possible to acquire college credit. To fulfill the social studies requirement for graduation, many seniors take one of the following courses; Family Living, Sociology, Economics, Psychology, Political Science, or European History. Consumer Education or Management for Living will meet the State Consumer Education requirement. Senior year is also a time to take electives, courses in a special field of study that interest a student. These classes vary from Clothing and Foods to Technical Drawing and Autos. They also help acquire the thirty-six credits needed to graduate. Senior year is a time for both advanced learning and advanced entertainment. By having classes like A.P,'s and electives, Niles West affords each senior an opportunity for both within the limits of one daily schedule. ��four Years of 7:30-2:30 ts what most people consider ''school.'' How· ever, many find that their days run from 7:30 until 6:00 or even later. No matter what time students leave the building, they have acquired part of "The West experience." It all starts freshman year when stu· dents walk into homeroom. from there they find friendships, old and new, turkey tetrazzlni on the menu, and the "thought for the day." After that, "Ni·We·Hi" takes over students' lives. Classes and homework whiz by with great speed. When students look at the "caft" experience, they see Mexican Cha-cha, French dressing in· stead of catsup, bagels, and a variety of junk food. Students also see the 'senior' tables, band tables, and the artwork of fellow and former students. They find information and some hu· mor on the 'tote' board located in the northeastern comer of the "caft." Meeting and getting to know your counselor and dean ts a part of the "West experience," although spend· Ing a great deal of time with your dean is not a good idea. Senior Jill Hedrich comments, "It's not keen, to be mean, to your dean." The resource centers are available to help students better understand their course work. They can also be quite sociable. Many students ftnd the resource centers an el'\)oyable place to relax with friends. �"'Senlorltls' ls a psychotic behavior commonly attributed to people in their final year of high school, ac· cording to psychology teacher, Ron Albianl. "It's more conspicuous second semester," adds chemistry teacher Dottle fuglel. Most students think of it as a sudden attack, but It Is actually a gradual four year process. As soon as a freshman enters high school the Incubation period begins. Noticeable signs can occur earlier than senior year. "I've had It since sophomore year, explains senior Jill Cohen. There are numerous symptoms at· tributed to this disease. for example, the following words and phrases do not exist in the vocabulary of people amicted: homework: 7:30 am: school bus; cafeteria food; studying; com· 11 11 plete, undamaged gym dothes; and being on time to dass.

"Senlorl· tis Is a sometimes painful disease, but the best one you could ever get, says senior Rachel Smith.

Johanna Pelos '87 �Juniors get respect "Life is tough all over," or so they say. Juniors disagree. As aju· nior, one feels the stress more than ever. As Anne Liosatos explains, "Junior year has been the hardest year, I hope it doesn't get any harder. With A.P. tests and PSAT's and wonying about getting into good colleges, I have to work twice as hard to balance out my sched· ule." But even with all the aca· demic difficulties, juniors have a lot of fun. Homecoming, prom, parties, and football games are only a few of the balancing agents that help them through the year. And best of all, with junior year comes the ad· miration from the underclassmen and the status of finally being up· perclassmen. 200 Juniors-Division �During their free time, juniors Mike Gershbein and Dessie Atsaves take a stroll out on the front lawn. Many students escape to the peaceful outdoors from the boisterous atmosphere in the cafeteria. Hobbling away on her crutches, Gaby Tomacic gets no attention from her fellow juniors. They are all too involved with the picture in Jason Litwin's spiral to help. ·'- Junior Ron Sobczak, after seeing Homecoming bids on sale, rushes to the phone to ask his girl to go with him. The telephone is an essential device for all teenagers. Division-Juniors 201 ����0 ~ ~ ' �����������Soph omor es slip into gear As sophomores re-entered West, they felt older, smarter, stronger, tougher and in the driver's seat. In fact they were ready to take off and escape from the memory of their freshman year, while driving towards adventuresome times. To many, being a sophomore had advantages, from open campus to driving to school. There were new classes offered, Including geometry, chemistry, and, of course, the ever-popular driver's ed. With the right touch of extracurricular activities, from football to cheerleading to debate, the school day was complete. Now that they had been in West for one year, they did not fear getting lost or having pennies thrown at them. Elena Lelbovich, when asked what made her sophomore year more special than freshman year, replied, "The best thing is a course like driver's ed. There's nothing like being able to drive." In their second year, sophomores were learning to balance their lives with academics as well as a touch of extracurricular activities, which to many made school more enjoyable. When asked how she balanced her school day, sophomore Ali Kwon replied, "During the day I focused on my classes, but I found time after school to join clubs and participate in school activities." The class of '89 had much enthusiasm and school spirit. They believed they were the best class yet to walk the halls of NiWeHi. In the words of sophomore Humberto Hortua, "We're cool and outrageous!" 216 Sophomores-Division �. es her piano ds can be Mi time.

After boarding at 6:50 in the morning, the students try to stay awake as the bus rambles along its route toward school. The first eight seats on the bus are always filled two times over with cowardly underclassmen who aren't brave enough to attempt the trip to the back of the bus. On the other hand, the last few seats are never occupied by more than two upperclassmen at a time. Conversation is seldom attempted, and except for the usual morning greetings and the "soft rock" flowing from the bus dri· ver's radio, the bus is quiet. Upon approaching Niles West with a squealing halt that opens everyone's drooping eyelids, the students file from the bus neatly, row by row, until everyone is off. This is in marked contrast to junior high, where everyone stood up as soon as the bus stopped, clambering over each other to get into school. But, as one grows older, reaching the school's front door is the last thing most students would wish to do voluntarily, and prolong the event in whatever way possible. The bus pulls away and the weary students envy the juniors and seniors who have cars and can catch thirty extra minutes of sleep. The underclassmen wait impatiently until their sixteenth birthday when they won't have to do something as demeaning as riding the school bus.

But do you think of school? Probably not. West students were in for a surprise at the start of the school year! When they entered the building in mid-September to pick up their books, they could no longer hear the click-clack-clunk of their shoes on the smooth tile flooring in the hallways. Instead, their shoes sank into the new gray carpeting installed over the summer to match the pink walls painted last year. The administration installed the carpeting primarily to reduce the noise level in the hallways. However, it is also easier to maintain than the tile flooring. There is no waxing or mopping, but vacuuming and a periodic shampoo are necessary. Though the carpeting is not plush or luxurious, it fits the purpose of limiting the noise level in the hallways, a topic which teachers continually complain about. Students have varying opinons on the new carpeting. Junior Laura Barreto says, "It gives the school a homey atmosphere. " However, sophomore Janey Yu remarks, "It's a pain because it always makes me trip and I ruin my shoes.'' Now maybe the carpeting will give students another reason to like or to dislike school even more.

The memory of recess. Recess is now no more than a blurry image pushed all the way back in our minds. But looking at those swings and the showy merry-go-round forced me to try them out once more. Some time in the course of our high school life this urge will compel us to once again swing on the swings and spin on the merry-go-round. It's just inevitable. Unknowingly, as the ninth grade rolled around, we all said goodbye to the swings, jungle gyms, and merry-gorounds. The laughs and the cries would all be forgotten. Lunchtime would never again be accompanied by recess. Looking forward to lunchtime would no longer mean anticipating the restless playground or the football games on the field. All those sports and games that we once played would no longer be played. All those past rituals of the playground were just forgotten as relics of the past. But this force that brought me back to the playground, back to the seemingly ancient swings, back to the towering jungle gyms, perhaps will also bring you back to this once traditional pastime of ours. But for those five or ten minutes that I was there it was enough to revive the sweet memory that still existed in me. As I walked away I said goodbye to my playground friends, and then I knew it was my fond farewell to recess.

Which classes should I take? What's a "grade weight"? What prerequisites will I need? Should I take an honors course or a regular course? What does "audit" mean? Sound confusing? Well, it is. These and many more questions are asked by most underclassmen at one time or another. To help students answer these ques· tions and make wise decisions is the job of the guidance counselor. The counselor plays an important role in the stu· dent's decision-making process. Counselors help stu· dents balance their workloads, take the required courses, and meet the college requirements for most schools. The process of selecting high school courses is not easy, though. It takes time and active participa· tion on the student's behalf as well as the counselor's. Freshmen probably have the toughest time choosing their courses. The large selection can confuse the aver· age freshman, in which case, they usually tum to their counselor. Freshman Jerry Wagner stated, "I wasn't too sure which classes I should take so my counselor gave me some good advice." During the sophomore and junior years, there are a few classes that students are required to take, such as Western Civilization and health. Most build the rest of their schedule around these courses. Junior Paul Katz declared, "Choosing my courses wasn't hard at all this year. I knew what to expect and I got those required classes out of the way." Selecting courses can be diffi· cult and confusing at times, but there really isn't much to worry about. You can always rely on your friend, the counselor.

For example, most freshmen get up at 5:.30 in the morning to put on a new outfit everyday. On the other hand, sophomores prefer to wake up at 6:00 and throw on a nice sweater and a pair of jeans. Juniors will most likely tumble out of bed at 6:.30 and grab the first pair of sweats they find. During the school day, freshmen stumble down the hallways carrying about six books at a time and a Chandler's full of puffy stickers. Sophomores strut around school with about three books and just a Chandler's (they've outgrown puffy stickers by now!) Then what do the juniors carry you might ask? Well', that's easy! They're the ones who breeze through the day with a folder and possibly one book. As for the Chandler's what's that??? Finally, you can always distinguish a freshman from a sophomore from a junior when it comes time to eat lunch. Freshmen wait last in line and don't dare to say anything to those cutting in front of them. Sophomors are usually the ones doing the cutting. Juniors don't bother with these foolish games. They simply go to McDonalds! Maybe it seems as though juniors always get their way, but that's not really true. They've been through those freshman and sophomore stages, and still have to put up with their elders - the seniors. So underclassmen, have patience, and eventually your time will come to be on top!

This is the man who comes to school once for a presentation and several other times to collect money that students have either exhorted from their parents or earned on their own. The rings come in many sizes, with or without birthstones, and a variety of designs and inscriptions on the outside. "Class rings are special because everyone gets the opportunity to design their own. They're a great way of remembering your high school years and all the memories these years hold," stated sophomore Estelle Nikolakakis. It is also popular for couples, as a sign of affection, to exchange rings and wear them on chains around their necks. They can be exchanged for college rings once high school is completed, but many students choose to keep them as they are. Class ·rings aren't cheap, but they stay with you for a long time. Their sentimental value grows more and more. "They're a great way of remembering the school," said sophomore Maggie Duffy. Who knows, maybe forty years from now while looking at a school ring, those wonderful high school years will shine once again!

Sophomores 2.31 �Focus on freshmen With eager, yet nervous looking faces. freshmen got their first feeling of high school as they took that step into Niles West. Different faces, new classes, and more homeworkthese were just a couple of things that made freshman year a memorable experience. "I came from a pretty small school, so it's exciting coming to Niles West with so many more people," said freshman Anne Pullano. For some in-coming freshmen, it was hard to adapt to such a change. One event that helped stu· dents meet new people was the Freshman-Sophomore mixer. Many underclassmen found it easier to meet new friends in a more casual atmosphere such as a dance or a football game, than in the classroom. As the year progressed, freshmen found more pressure being put on them to do well in school. There was more homework than in grammar school, and the classes were more difficult. Students found that they needed to put a lot of time into their studying. Despite all these fears of entering a new world, freshmen manag~d to feel right at home at Niles West. 232 Freshmen-Division �Freshman Howie Amie balances his day by using some of his freetime for studying.

If a freshman's first day in high school wasn't distinquished by some error in judgement such as a missed class, a shortened period at a later date often provided a similar experience. "I was late for classes more than a few times, and I didn't have a chance to socialize with friends or get books for my next class," explained freshman Trish Wright. Expressing similar sentiments, freshman Anna Minx commented," I think the whole system is ridiculous. We should drop the classes that are missed instead of shortening each mod." Despite the inconvenience and general confusion, however, most freshmen were eventually able to adjust. "At first, I was really confused and walked into the wrong class at the wrong time," stated freshman Mike Hartman. "After a while, though, it was much easier.''

The necessary adjustmen t which freshmen must make to the Niles West detention policy varies greatly, according to the junior high the individual student attended. For example, Mr. Peter Zorn stated, "Lincoln Hall students have the hardest time getting used to the rules of Niles West of all my freshman students, since they have or enforce few at Lincoln Hall." Other schools, such as Fairview, are said to have fairly strict discipline which makes it easier for them to adapt. Freshmen most often complain of the lack of the benefit of the doubt which they are given from teachers when they are ignorant of the rules. Junior Aaron Joffe, looking back on his freshman year stated, "During one of the first weeks of school, I arrived about a minute late, thinking that late is late, I stopped at my locker before going to homeroom . When I showed up I could not believe I had been given a forty minute detention for being over five mintes late, since I had never heard of it. I guess I was supposed to have read the student guidebook ." the complaints vary. The problem of adjustmen t to the detention policy is universal yet not very serious. More than anything else it is an education. Students should look upon this experience not as something awful, but rather as an initiation into high school.

Perhaps it's a recollection of some mortifying incident simply too unbearable to think about, or just too embarrassing to mention. For some it was a time of fear and insecurities, while for others, a new, exciting venture. Whatever one might call it, that first day at Niles West was definitely a · period of uncertainty. The most difficult adjustment was the godforsaken hour you were forced out of bed. Scavanging the house for that perfect outfit to wear at 6:00 in the morning was just too much to bear. Another worry many faced was the terrifying prospect of getting lost in the halls and having to check the numbers and arrows on the walls to see which way your next class was, or as a last resort, having to ask an upperclassman. If you really wanted to get to where you were supposed to be, the latter was not advised. But all the rumors of freshmen being the targets of flying pennies and mysterious elevator passes are just a myth. Niles West students actually treat fresmen with the utmost respect, well maybe not that much respect. Once you got through the first day, things started running more smoothly. Of course, no one wants to be a freshman forever. Just take it step by step, year by year, and climb that totem pole until you too are finally the elite seniors.

No, it's not what you're thinking, it's "Freshmanitis". Freshmanitis is a disease that strikes you in the first year of high school. It deprives its victim of the ability to accomplish primitive tasks like walking into the correct classroom, opening lockers, and carrying books. Freshmanitis also makes students highly subject to torment and pranks by upperclassmen, such as: 1) getting hit by thrown pennies, 2) being sold bogus elevator passes, and 3) receiving wrong directions when looking for their classroom. For most, the disease lasts for at least one semester and for some it lasts the entire year.

Academics, sports. extracurricular activities. social functions and part-time jobs might be some of the things students need to juggle and put in proper perspective if they are to succeed during their four years of high school. How much time for activities and sports can students successfully handle? Will there.be sufficient time for everything? For the serious-minded student. academics is the key factor and demands the greatest amount of time to achieve this delicate balance. -. 246 Academics-Divisio n �, ACADEMICS Niles West brought new faces to th e academic d epa rtment. Science teacher Mr. Snyder and m ath teacher Miss Achino look through last year's yearbook. Part of balancing out the year was not only in a student's sch edule and extracurricular activities, but also included a little one-on-one with th e teachers. Junior Don Nole asks for h elp from math teacher Mr. Geis. Numerous ch emistry students alternately read the procedure, perform the experiment required, and copy down the appropriate data.

Headed by library director Arnold Agnos, the project's structure included a speaker's presentation each month, from October to April. "Niles West had some of the leaders in almost every industry speak," Agnos explained . In October, Janet Nutting of the Real Estate Research Corporat ion informed students of the opportunities present in her field. Featured in Novembe r's "Art Jubilee" presentation concernin g the arts were singer Nick Fortuna of the Buckinghams, actress Kim Fitzwater from the Goodman Theater, journalist Dan Ruth of the Chicago SunTimes, musician Gary Stucka of the Chicago Symphon y Orchestra and artist Sabina West. an instructo r at Skokie's Village Art School. On January 15, Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday was commem orated with a guest speaker, and in March, Ruth Ratney, owner and publisher of the movie review magazine Screen, made a special appearance. "The speak~rs were not paid," Agnos stated. "They only received token gifts, yet, they all devoted their time in an effort to communicate with younger people." Accordin g to Agnos, it was this special cooperat ion of speakers , teachers and students which made the program possible. "We had the cooperat ion and effort of everyone involved. I don't know of too many programs that have be~n as successful as ours, and I think it was worth all the effort we had to make." Johanna Pelos Lawrence Broy-Scienc e 249 �Peer Counseling proves popular It was 7:.35 and students were doing their usual in homeroom, such as finishing homework, gabbing with friends, and getting in some last minute studying. Then a student walked into the room, interrupted whatever the other students were doing, and explained that he or she was a peer counseling leader. That was the first time that anyone had heard about peer counseling. The leader gave a brief explanation of what peer counseling was all about, and passed out sheets to anyone interested in joining. For the next week talk went around school about peer counseling. What was it? And what wasn 't it? These were just two of the questions that students asked each other. finally, those interested spoke to either Mr. Lee, the sponsor of peer counseling, or to a friend who was already involved in it, got a group of friends together, and decided to join. As they arrived at their first meeting, students were greeted 250 Acad emics by two more peer counseling leaders. These leaders were experienced in peer counseling, and had their own groups. Basically, peer counseling meetings were a place for students to meet and talk about whatever was on their minds, with the guidance of their leaders. faculty members were never present at these meetings, so students felt freer to talk with each other. Games, called energizers, were played to help familiarize the members of the group with one another. Bonds became formed between the members of each group, and they learned to trust each other, and tell others about their problems. Peer counseling was a fun way for students to make new friends, and, rid themselves of some of their anxieties. And in no time, those new members looked forward to becoming leaders.

Teachers awaited those moments when they would be able to write detentions out to those who violated the new rule. This year carpeting was put throughout the hallways to reduce the noise pollution. With the new carpeting came a trial period of six weeks of closed hallways from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. which became a great success. There are still many mixed feelings on the closed hallways issue to this day. Here are a few comments. " I feel that closed hallways are a welcome relief to classes involved during those mods. It does not restrict the freedom of students to going to the library or from visiting a counselor. " Mr. Swanson " I think they are great. It I I doesn't detract from student rights from being in the halls." Mr. Dvorak "I don't mind having closed hallways because my passes get me through the halls safely. " Ken Hogan "I don't like closed hallways because it confines me to the cafeteria, which is usually overcrowdeq. " Amy Grimaldi " As far as I am concerned, the students have nothing to do with the decision. Therefore, it is unfair. " George Langis " I think they are breaking our constitutional rights as students." Frank Psyhogios 'Tm opposed to the whole idea. I walk through a closed hall everyday without a pass.

It is normally a two semester course, but students have the option of taking it for only one semester. Students must decide in advance which semester to take, however, since different material is covered each semester. first semester covers several different topics, including an introduction to music, dance, painting, photography, and poetry. The course also focuses on the Holocaust and the threat of the nuclear age. Movies, books and field trips are all a major part of the class. Senior Devra Resnick commented, "Humanities is like no other class I have ever taken. We see a lot of movies and go on plenty of field trips.'' Second semester covers many of the same ideas as first semester. However, the emphasis lies on the change in traditions in America, and the effect of ethnic groups on this change. The Negro, native American Indian, and MexicanAmerican are all studied. Humanities is a course for the student whose interests cover a wide range of areas. It has a grade weight of three and the instructor is Tom McMahon. Senior Michele Feinberg sums her thoughts on Humanities, "I find this class extremely interesting. It deals with current events and other topics that affect me everyday. It is not just the studying and memorizing of school books. I have really gotten a lot out of this class. " Elaine Barrington Marjorie Stevens-Social Studies Academics 259 �Counseling the college bound Frank Mustari received his bachelor's and master's degrees from Loyola University, in Guidance and Counseling. Since receiving his master's degree, he has attended over 15 summer programs for college counsel ors, including ones at Stanford and Harvard. He has even been to a class in London, England. His first job was as a high school history teacher. Then he came to Niles West where he was a guidance counselor for about 20 years. He left in 1981 to be a principal at a performing arts school in Chicago, then returned to Niles West three years ago to be our first college counselor. Mr. Mustari calls himself a " college junkie" because no matter where he is, he never rejects an opportunity to drive through to look at a campus. In the past three years he has seen over 200 colleges, in cities such as New York, Boston, Washing- 260 Aca d em ics ton D.C. and Miami. Most visits are by invitation, either from one school, or from a group of schools in an area. After seeing a school he comes back to give a report to our guidance counselors. " It is beneficial that the counselors are informed about the schools so that they may better assist the student when he or she makes this important decision." When asked about his plans for the future Mr. Mustari replied , "I plan to stay right where I am. I enjoy being a college counselor. I feel it is very exciting and everchanging. I love it. " His advice for students is to investigate and visit many schools before making a choice. " There are more than 3000 colleges in this country. The possibilities are endless.

A continuation of public speaking, this course offered the more gifted speakers in the school a chance to expand their rhetorical horizons. Speeches of persuasion, introduction and debate were but a few of the difficult assignments tackled by the class. Senior Elliott Baretz described the class as "AP Talking". "It gives us speakers a chance to earn solid credit for our talents," he quipped. Senior Brad Grodsky, described by his class- mates as a "modern day Cicero", stated, "Work for that class was a labor of love. The class definitely refined my already near-prizewinning talents." "It's great to be in a class of speakers all on the same level, unafraid to give lengthy dissertations in front of an audience," junior Stefanie Krakow remarked . Representing a consensus, senior Mark Savidge said "It was like being part of a special club. It proved to be the best and most unique course I've ever taken in my life."

Film facts Bea Mroz-Deans· Secretary Marge Phillippe-Executive Secretary Sandra Piper-Deans' Secretary Delores Wyko-Executive Secretary One of the advantages that students have in going to school is the opportunity to watch films in class. No charge for admission, just sit back and watch the movie. But when the film goes on, the heads go down on the desk with the eyes shut. Watching history films and seeing pictures of guys doing experiments in technicolor will do that to you. And for some reason, the film " Why Man Creates" seems to keep popping up in every classroom. Watching films in class will always be more pop- ular than listening to boring lectures about Europe or, even worse, listening to poetry. However what it comes down to, movies in class will always be an opportunity to catch up on some of the sleep you lost the night before. Senior Bettina Adam states. " Movies are a waste of time for most people, except for someone who wants to learn something. Nevertheless, it is a nice break from the everyday classroom routine.

Eugene Milz-Duplicating Services Clare Carlsen-Nurse J Susan Newcomb-Textbook Manager Psychology behav ior "It's the kind of class that is both . of educational and high interest value. I love it," senior Craig Keer explained of his psychology class. Psychology, a one-semester course, year after year, draws a large amount of students. Focusing on human behavior and the way the brain operates, the curriculum is of key interest to stu· dents. "I completely enjoyed the course," senior Scott Mandi stated. 266 Academics Stephen Ramseyer-Security Jacqueline Udell-Security studying huma n "Studying for the tests was no ma· jor deal. I wanted to because the subject matter was so interesting.'' In addition to the core subject matter, students received an addi· tional education. "I learned a lot about myself," junior Dessie At· saves said. "The course changed my life," she concluded. Psychology instructor Ron Al· biani summarized the course by saying, "Psychology can provide in· sights into human behavior which may not be directly and readily available to a student studying oth· er disciplines. Questions of how and why we learn, the relationship between physical and mental func· tioning, and the approaches to and achievement of one's unique potential can be of immense value to a thoughtfill student.'.'

Beginners have a choic~ of taking either the Chef's course or Foods 1 first semester, and Foods 2 second semester. Chef's introduces the techniques and terminology a future chef should know. Foods 1 & 2 takes one through the world of quick-breads (breads that do not require yeast to rise), and also includes how to choose different kinds of meat, vegetables, fruits, and soups. After taking either the Chef's course or the Foods 1 & 2 prerequisite, one is ready to take more advanced courses. Foods 3 is a culinary trip through Europe & Asia. This course lets you make delicious dishes from countries such as China, Italy, France, and Germany. Germany is a favorite country to do in this unit be· cause old-fashioned, gingerbread houses are made there. Foods 4 cov· ers the advanced techniques of can· dymaking, cake decorating, restaurant operation, and catering. Some of our devoted Niles West Foods teachers had these comments to say about the Foods courses offered at Niles West. Since we all have to eat, why not learn how to cook right? Mrs. Chausow Due to the dual role of young men and women making wise food choices, it will be even more impor· tant after high school to make these choices. So by taking foods, they can improve themselves in this area. Mrs. Oldham Amy Cozza Academics 269 �Georgiana Nord-Reading Center Secretary People/ cultures flourish at West One of the most interesting classes a student can take is People and Their Cultures. Unlike most other classes, this one offers students a choice. One may study either Africa, China and Japan or the Middle East, India and China. The class is also unique because it is a survey history course which has no time barriers, is mandatory for freshmen, and has only one grade weight offering. At the time they are participating in the class, few students realize its value. Junior Aaron Jaffe commented, "When I was taking it, I thought the class was a waste, except for the easy grades and the nice teacher. But now that I look back, I suppose I profited considerably." Junior Tom Mazarakis stated, "I think that the most permanent feature of that class for me was my first semester teacher, Mr. John Moshak. He really meant a lot to me 270 Academics Cindy Philbin-Social Studies Resource Center Secretary I Lois Samuels-Special Education Secretary Gloria Schabilion-Circulation/Library Secretary and is still an acquaintance of mine, if not a friend." The curriculum of People and Their Cultures is quite simple. A good portion of first semester is usually devoted to teaching the theory of evolution and second semester concentrates on the respective cultures. Junior Alex Tzortzis stated, "My favorite culture was Africa. I really found the many comparisons to Paleolithic cultures informative and interesting." People and Their Cultures is a unique course with many different dimensions. The interaction between the student, teacher and educational media forms the educational experience. No student can graduate from such a class without gaining a better concept of history.

It's not easy to draw as precisely as necessary in this class, but Pat manages a smile. 294 Closing Section �Balance is the key So many questions and such confusion came with a new school year. Already our scales were tipped over, With failing our biggest fear. ' I This shirt may seem as though it speaks for itself. yet the Genesis pandemonium created by their concert in October surprised most fans and critics. The "Invisible Touch" had very visible effects. Student Union did it again, Their elaborate planning was not wasted. Homecoming was perfect and a huge success And our victory just waiting to be tasted. Half the year is gone The last final is finished, And though the scale is somewhat even, The thought of balance has not diminished. The musicals and plays students performed this year Should not have been missed by a one. They rehearsed long hours and many daysthe good old-fashioned way to get things done. se Our failures might have pained us at the time, But remember we each have gifts and hidden talents, Or we wouldn't have reached our highest goal And achieved a sense of balance. We live a life where balance is the key The key to unlock the difficulty of each day. We need patience, friends and positive thinking To allow it to show us the way. Christine Kim Junior Dennis Agnos and senior Dena Abrams try not to pose too much for this " candid" picture. Try a little harder next time. guys.

As usual, dances were highly popular this year. • ' June finally arrived and, at last, the balance had been struck. From their well-balanced positions the seniors took their first step into the adult world, while underclassmen progressed to their next educational plateau. Glancing back, all had their special memories of the year, but the greatest memories were those that were shared by others. There were memories of Niles West's salute to Walt Disney with its Homecoming week that was wrapped up by a most memorable Homecoming Dance - "Cinderella's Ball." Other memories included the Turnabout Dance, Spring Activities Week, the FroshSoph Mixer, great times spent at Niles West sporting events, and participation in athletics, clubs and other extra-curricular activities. The most special memories of all, however, belong to the seniors as May brought them Prom and June brought them graduation and a full four years to look back upon and smile. The year saw all of West's students working hard to accomplish their respective goals and gaining great knowledge and experience along the way. Perhaps their single greatest gain, though, was the collection of memories that they had gathered along the way - memories that would always be there to help maintain the balance.

In the past twenty-five years we have definitely had some winning teams. Here are the records of the Niles West football team for the last quarter of a decade. ���A Tarnished Image Many of us have a simple answer to taking a test we did not study for. We call it cheating. Although everyone knows that cheating gets us nowhere, students still feel it is the only way to achieve a good grade in class. Now-adays. college is very grade conscious. In order to even be considered for admission, students have to have a good class rank which directly reflects that student's grades. Also. some parents stress very heavily the importance of achievement. Older brothers and older sisters have always done "A" work. therefore, the youngest should follow in the exact footsteps. The result could prove to be disastrous for the student's learning habits, by continuously cheating himself. There are many ways to cheat in class. Students draw up cheat sheets, or even put these cheat sheets on their E rne to chat out ound school Mimething particularout. 10 A Silver Celebration pocket calculators. Girls utilize their long finger nails for easily available answers, and even write on their legs while wearing a mini skirt. Enevitably, these cheaters will get caught when taking a peak at the helpful "hints" they appear to be using. Unfortunately, cheating does not stop at the high school level. Colleg fraternities or dormatories have a useful device called a test file. This file is comprised of tests which are usually in use that semester; they are stolen or copied. Cheaters are def inately not helping themselves or those around them. One last thought for those who make cheating a regular practice; how would you like to be on an operation table, not knowing that your surgeon cheated on his MEDICAL EXAM? �Indian chiefs Gary Kaufman and Mrs. Stevens show their spirit during the "Cowboys and Indians" day.

At assemblies there is no hesitation from the seniors to yell, clap. and be the loudest, rowdiest group in the school. "Although I've never been able to sit in the senior section due to participating in the band, I've always noticed the seniors have the most spirit," said senior Jill Zabo. The bleachers resound with cheers of pride for the Indians. Our school mascot runs around the gym floor screaming Indian (and of course senior) power during her cheers.

If you have recently then you probably are not a senior at Niles West. The seniors at West don't have that problem because they know that from the first day of school until graduation there will be a place for them where no freshmen, sophomores, or juniors are, a place where they can kick back and relax, a place where all their friends will be. That is, the senior tables in the cafeteria. These tables are on "reserve" for seniors only from September Until June and no one except a senior would dare sit there. These tables are used during the day for the various lunch mods and also after school when getting together. These tables aren't f' \JU Taking a water break between classes is just for eating lunch but for talking with friends, studying, or just Senior Paulette Arvanitis.

Differences not only with the classes they take but with the way they actually live the day. Here are some examples: Freshman Day I. Starts early (5:30 or 6:00) l. Gets to bus stop (6:45) 3. Gets to homeroom (7:l5) 4. Carries a minimum of five books all day. 5. Has one lunch with no one he knows. 6. No study halls (too many classes) 7. Starts homework at l:45 S. Prepares for tomorrow before ending today. Senior Day I. Starts later (6:30 or 7:00) Backs car out of driveway (7:20) Gets to homeroom (7 :35) Carries a maximum of one. Has two or three lunches with every one he knows. 6. Three study halls (not enough classes) 7. Starts homework at 10:45 S. Prepares1 l. 3. 4. 5.

It seems like everyone is into fitness these days. New health clubs, videos, and clothes are showing up everywhere. Healthy bodies are what's in style in the 'SO's and people are getting involved. Health clubs have been around for many years but it wasn't until recently that they became so popular. Many students at Niles West are members of the North Shore Club, East Bank Club, and various Chicago health clubs. "After working out at the club I feel good about myself and energized," said junior Evelina Stipisic. Commericals can be seen on television showing fit popular stars such as Heather Locklear and Cher keeping in shape at local clubs. Because of the popularity and facilities available, many clubs have high membership prices. For people who have the money and will to work, health clubs have become a popular attraction. Some people don't attend clubs but work out at home instead. Aerobics videotapes have become a big part of the home workout. Jane Fonda is one of the many people who has tapes and books available in stores. The tapes usually run around an hour and work your body by movement rather than by machine. Senior Cindi Moss stated, "Aerobics is like dancing and exercising at the same time. It's a lot of fun.'' At first aerobics was considered a girls' sport but now men are also involved. There is a co-ed class available in the P.E. department at Niles West. The fitness craze has hit our clothing stores, too. Years ago the big thing was designer jeans, today it is workout clothes. Sweat pants and tops are worn to school, out to lunch, and, of course, to work out. "Sweats are very comfortable to wear around school and they are usually pretty inexpensive," said junior Brad Jones. Even the style of the workout clothes has changed. It used to be that a plain body suit or a shorts outfit was fine. Now if you're part of a club or class, designer clothes are a must. Detailed print designs and exciting wild colors are the style on body suits and sweats today. Nobody knows if the fitness craze will last or not, but for right now it's here and big. As Billy Crystal (oc should I say Fernando?) would say, "It doesn't matter if you feel good as long as you look good because YOU LOOK MARVELOUS!" Students 'Gets that Pepsi feeling' during free mods.

Seniors 29 �MONEY!! During a student's stay in high school, one object is of the utmost need. MONEYll There are two ways a student can obtain this much desired need. They can either turn to a life of crime, or get a job. The latter seems to be the more popular choice among the students here at Niles West. Many fields are open to students. Department stores are popular places to work. McDades and Courtesy Home Center both employ many Niles West Students. Their wages are adequate, but they work there for special discounts, or so they say. Grocery stores are also popular places of employment. Students pack bags, or stock shelves at Jewel and Dominicks, looking for free handouts. They keep in mind their life-long goal, to work a check-out counter.

Learning not only academically, but in many other areas as well. Senior year dispelled many naive beliefs and replaced them with knowledge which freshmen would be wise to heed. Freshmen Believe Staying home is good for the complex ion. G.E.E.K. is a new computer course at school. Curfew is when you go home. In riding at the front of the bus. In waiting in line.

It didn't take long to find yourself in a hard wooden chair, writing and reciting you ABC's. You experienced your first major problem that day, missing "Captain Kangaroo" and "Mr. Rogers" but more serious changes were yet to come. Mrs. Biology reminded you that lightning bugs commonly died in oxygenstarved jars and that for this reason, you received a "check" instead of a "plus". You also learned that your "Black Cauldron" book report could have been written without reading the book, and that braces made speech class impossible. The lessons never stopped, even when you were old enough for high school. You soon found out that Niles West was a lot larger than your good old junior. high, that room 138 (which you walked into that first day freshmen year) wasn't your English class after all but a study hall, that math and "A's" didn't necessarily correspond, and that term papers needed to be started a little earlier than 9 o'clock the night before they were due.

Midnight means three more hours of homework. Homeroom is an optional class. Looking nice for school means sweats and combed hair. Taking the bus only happens when the car breaks down. The only living thing in the cafeteria is the food. There is no maximum speed limit for the hallways. The "rag" is not something you wash with. A "modified" excuse means Madison for the weekend. Homework assignments are only something to fill up the Chandler's and lastly ... Graduation is where the class of 1986 takes their hats off to everyone.

In years past it has been rhinestone jewelry, Swatch watches, Guess jeans, and spiked belts. For the "with it" student, the latest craze was paisley prints. Paisley first hit the fashion scene during the psychedelic sixties and then it slowly died down with the change in times. Now, twenty years later, we are seeing it again in various colors and styles. Girls and guys alike showed off this new fashion from head to toe. They modeled anything from sweaters, pants, blouses, socks, and even watches containing the paisley print. Many people even wore a paisley shirt and pants with a different paisley pattern just to get into the swing of things. Some people, however, were with the anti-paisley fad. They found it loud and obnoxious and refused to wear it. Many people complained of headaches from the bright colors mixed with so much print. These people had to keep their eyes closed just to avoid the encounter of a fellow classmate wearing paisley. Watching a biology experiment are seniors Yummy Suh and Kevin Chern. Both agree that not all experiments are easy to stomach. Whoever said that history and fashion .repeats itself was right because as we looked down our very own hallways, we saw an old fad being displayed in a brand new way. Whether you find it attractive or not, paisley has hit the eighties.

What is this strange quirk of human behavior? Seniors who act like freshmen. Here are a few things our seniorfreshmen did this year: -Took the wrong bus home -Went to the wrong class -Came to class early -Ate in the cafeteria duing lunch -Forgot their locker combinations -Fell down the stairs -Fell up the stairs -Studied for finals ... . . six weeks early -Came to school on a day off If you found yourself doing any of these things don't feel too bad, there were many other senior-freshmen doing the same exact things. �Catching up on some lost sleep is senior Shawn Brown.

Seniors 41 �EARLY SENIORITIS What is the newest epidemic to invade Niles West and other high schools throughout the country? Early Senioritis! Senioritis is defined in non-medical terms as total laziness and apathy towards school. Senioritis among upperclassmen is common and widespread. There is no cure for this disease, but it seems to disappear for seniors in June. As for the underclassmen they must wait until they graduate before any relief is in sight. There are some symptoms for Early Senioritis which include: Making a friend go to McDonald's to get you a Big Mac and fries instead of eating the school food; going to a party the night before a test thinking that there is always homeroom to study; counting the number of days until graduation; and, pressing the snooze button on your alarm time after time in the morning. So if you freshmen, sophomores, and juniors think you have this very contagious disease you should call the Early Senioritis hotline at 1-A-M-l-A-Z-Y, and just hope that it's not too late. Collecting her thoughts for the day senior Judy Zemsky gets ready for her next class. 42 Seniors �Jobie Rissman Sandra Rivkin David Rolf Anthony Roma Nicholette Romashko Melissa Rosen Sharri Rosenberg Richard Rosenthal David Ross Heather Ross Ira Ross Jacquelin Roz.encwajg Melissa Rubens Diane Rubenstein David Rubin Chiaki Saito Sean Samuel Lisa Sandlow Aida Santillan Peter Sarantopoulos Gail Ilene Sax Anil Saxena Becki Schanz.

It may seem that seniors have no pressure or problems by the wild, out-going way they conduct themselves during the year, but they do. The pressure of the last three years are corked up inside them ready to explode at any minute. Seniors go through many headaches, explanations to the dean, teachers, texts, and Monday mornings. Senior year is no different. However all seniors agree that the biggest pressure is what they will be doing after high school. Pressure of jobs and colleges, where to go, and what to do add to the stress of senior year. If you happen to see a senior yelling, ripping, or growling in school, don't worry, he is just trying to relieve some past pressure to make room for the new pressure to come.

Senior Jim King finds the exact chair to complete his assignment. SENIOR HANGOUTS Weekends and after school, seniors like to get together and show their spirit. Whether before a movie or after a big home game. before practice starts or after a party, seniors like to "hangout." The most popular place to meet continued to be Jack's Restaurant on Touhy. Jack's, open 24 hours a day, was very accomodating to many late night seniors. Although the managers of Jack's were not always thrilled to see hoards of seniors gathering around the tables to munch on late night snacks and gossip about late night festivities, it never stopped the class of '86. Another big attraction was the student parking lot. After athletic events, seniors headed to the lot and made their own fun. Car radios blasted as the seniors showed their spirit. When Jack's was too crowded and the parking lot too cold, seniors traveled to McDonald's on Dempster or the newly built one on Niles Center Road. ' The 7-11 on Gross Point Road and Lincoln Avenue was always crowded with seniors who needed a light munch. After school and during fhe school day, seniors purchased slurpees, Snickers and other junk food. In this case. when it comes to snacking, calories just don't matter.

Western shirts were at home on the range and at Niles West, while ascending to the peaks climbed high tops and Reeboks. For the more delicate, gardens of flowers showered across oversized shirts, and stirrups danced onto center stage. Mixed and matched were patterns, plaids, and paisleys galore, even equestrian spirit jumped . high. Baroque jewelry played a must as an accessory. For those who just wanted to be comfortable, sweats were high on the list. Looking like everyone else was not the key to style, being yourself and having fun was. If climbing and jumping weren't exactly up your alley, with the right clothes, no one could tell the difference.

A junior is someone caught between the obnoxiousnes s of being a sophomore and the complaceney of being a senior. A junior is someone who has no time to do everything and all the time in the world to do nothing. A junior takes his life one test at a time. A junior walks with his head high even if his grades are low. A junior knows the score and will gladly inform anyone who doesn't. A junior is at his best when school is not in session. A junior hates his title but likes his position. A junior only takes "no" for an answer if he is asking whether or not something was his fault. A junior knows between right and wrong, which explains : his behavior at school functions. After hours of practice, junior Chris Larkin struts his stuff at a half-time performance by the Niles West Marching Band. A junior commands the respect of an.y 'non-senior.

The worst day of the week where EVERYTHING seems to go wrong! What could be worse? After a fun and relaxing weekend, you awake at 5:30 in the morning to find that you must return to another long troublesome week of school. Stumbling out of your house, still half asleep, you realize that it's freezing outside and you forgot to bring a jacket. As you wait impatiently for the bus, which is late once again, you think of how much more comfortable you'd be lying in your warm cozy bed. Finally arriving at school, you dash to homeroom hoping that you won't be late. The whole day goes wrong! You flunk an important English test, forget your math homework at home, trip and fall while trying to get through the crowded hallways, and then, to top it all off, you drop a glass of fruit punch all over your brand new sweater during lunch. Storming out of the cafeteria, angry and discouraged, you look down to see that you have accidentially torn your favorite pair of jeans. "What a day," you say to yourself, almost in tears, "I can't wait until Friday!"

You seem to be spending all the time that you used to talk in the cafeteria in the library. Actually, it seems that everybody is doing the same thing because there are very few seats open in the library. On top of the make-up work you have five tests Friday on the material covering the whole six weeks. You start coming earlier and leaving later, to study and to do your homework. All you can think about is your freedom on Friday at exactly 2:26 p.m. After you finish your last test on Friday, your teacher makes the announcement that the term paper, which was assigned when you were absent, is due on Monday. So instead of having a relaxing and fun-filled weekend you're once again stuck in the monotonous world of school. Workbooks are often a part of class work. Junior Gina Lee works diligently to complete her assignment. 64 Juniors ........ \ 1...... ~ �Junior Pat Cattern is intrigued by the swarm of ants he sees on the ground.

For most of us, it meant seeing all those friends you promised to see over the summer but somehow never did, hitting the books again, studying for tests, and getting back into shape plus a whole lot more. For the freshmen though it was quite different. Going to high school was a new and unique experience, yet scary. It meant meeting new people, seeing old faces, hoping that you looked right. It also meant getting used to a bigger school, with bigger hallways, and bigger people. It took a while to get into the beat of things but gradually everything fell right into place, and the new faces were now friends.

This years Mixer, held in the cafeteria on September 27, turned out to be a very popular event among underclassmen. The music ranged from hard rock to new wave, and even some slow tunes. It gave freshmen and sophomores a chance to meet new people, dance, and have a great time. Colorful decorations added life and creativity to the dance. Many added their own touch by wearing togas. In general, the Frosh-Soph Mixer turned out to be a total success! The crowd was wild and lively and seemed to be having a terrific time. That's the spirit of 'SS and 'S9!

It's what students call their "Hangouts." To most it's more than just a hangout. It's a place to see those friends you never see the rest of the day. Many people exchange gossip, hear the latest on the favorite sports team, see what's happening around school or just comparing notes from biology class. These hangouts might be located in the cafeteria at a certain table, the band or pool hallway, or just at somebody's locker. A hangout is great to have because you know you will see some "faces, not the strangers in a crowd. So don't just sit, hangout somewhere!

Fire drills are necessary even though they are disruptive to the classes in session. Students and faculty should know how to exit the building quickly, yet safely, in case of an actual fire. Since fire drills are practiced, the students know where to go, and what to do, so that in a real fire they would be less likely to panic. Classes are disrupted by fire drills. A student may be. taking a test or listening to a lecture. This can be very upsetting to a teacher. When all things are considered, however, it is important to know something that can save your life.

It was difficult listening to the teacher or doing your homework with all of the heat and sweat dripping down your back. If you looked into certain classes you would probably some people waving their paper fans, (which was once their homework), hoping that the heat would go away. Unfortunately it didn't happen that way. Here are just a few ways on how some students fought the heat "I just didn't think about it."

When first seen from afar, you wonder, what's going on! Then you take a closer look and see the " HAPPY BIRTHDAY" or "SWEET SIXTEEN". The decorating of lockers is a tradition for birthdays at Niles West. Friends of the birthday person get together and make a card. It could be plain white, or fluorescent yellow and pink. Cards might be fancy with newspaper clippings, balloons, streamers or just a simple "HAPPY BIRTHDAY". Then, friends of the birthday person get together and sign it. It makes a person's birthday more special. In this way you can show your friends you really care. Anna Liosatos 'SS oDOPERn' OF Sophomores Dawn Jacobs.

During the assembly, freshmen were addressed by Mark Poulakidas, President of the Senior Class, and by Benji Malkin, President of the Sophomore Class, as well as other members of the faculty and staff. As a result of these speeches, freshmen learned about the many clubs, teams, and privileges available at Niles West. Following the speakers, Ms. Howell, Mr. Erickson, and Mr. Kupferberg performed in a comedy skit in which they impersonated three trouble-making freshmen facing the consequences of detention. Acting out the part of the dean was senior Paul Bouboutsis. All in all, the assembly turned out to be enjoyable for most freshmen. Learning to adjust to a new school is never easy, but thanks to the help of fellow students and staff, freshmen understood what was expected of them, and who they could turn to for help.

Pink bedrooms, a pink prom dress, pink hair-ribbons, pink lollipops! You don't usually think of school walls, do you? Well, last summer the school decided to paint our walls pink! Were they painted to cheer up our long and gloomy days here, or to make us feel more at home? Or maybe they did it so we could have yet another reason to hate school? Who knows. Here are some opinions expressed by West students . .. "I think the pink walls are rather tacky but, in a way, they sort of liven up the hallways." Dawn Jacobs "The pink walls bring a smile to my face!" Jeannine Dimodica "It was stupid not to make them red or white." Wendy Martin "They're different, so I like them."

The teacher walks in with a stack of papers in her hand, but you think nothing of it until she tells everyone to clear their desks. Everyone realizes this is a "pop" quiz. Not getting nervous because you read the chapter last night, you take the paper from the person ahead, look at the test, and realize you read the wrong chapter. You didn't have the faintest idea of any of the answers. Moving on to the next class you are excited because you'll receive a test you took and thought every answer was right. Taking notes on a lecture the whole period, all you can think about is the test. Two minutes before the bell the test was returned and on the top you see an "F". Now all you can think about is a way to get out of the rest of your classes and go home, but it is impossible because you have a huge math test and that's your last class of the day. You study for the math test every chance you get throughout the day, and by the time math class comes around you know everything you need to know. Walking into the math room you spot a sub who announces that there will be no test. Instead, you will have it next week. At this point you think nothing worse can happen to you that day until you are walking around the corner and bump into a dean. You knock him down and he claims you did it on purpose and gives you a Saturday. By then you were ready to go home, go to sleep, and about a half hour later the annoying sound from your alarm goes off again. Thinking you must have set it at the wrong time you look at the clock and see 5:30 A.M. You get up and look in your parent's room. They are both there. The question is, was it a dream or was it real?

Greg Rudin 'SS For every line in the movie the audience yelled back several lines to the screen(cutting the line up.) For example, when the narrator came out, the audience yelled out, "Where's your neck." During the rain storm the audience shot water at each other and put a newspaper over their heads for protection. During the wedding scene the audience had a rice fight. When the professor said the line, "Great Scotts," the audience threw rolls of toilet paper."

My favorite cartoon character is: "Heman, because he reminds me of me." -Helen Georgakopoulos 'S6 "Garfield, because he's so funny and original." -Susan Bezanes 'S9 "Fred Flintstone, because he's fat, obnoxious, and eats a lot." -Jemuel Ripley 'S9 "Woody Woodpecker, because he's very cute." -Anne Liosatos 'SS "Casper the Friendly Ghost, because he's a good guy." -Patty Tzortzis 'S9 "Heathcliff, because he's cute and lovable." -Melaine Soriano 'S9 "Greedy Smurf, because he reminds me of me when I'm hungry." -Lettitia Cadavid 'S6 "Fred Flintstone, because he's so realistic." -Jenny Anast 'SS "George Jetson, because he's futuristic and he's funny." -Susan Theotokatos '89 by Estelle Nikolakakis '89 - Owen Masterton Marnie Malolcoff Heather McCulloh Jenny McGeary Jason McGuire Keith McMath Louis Meindle Mary Mercado Kim Miceli Angelo Michaels Kristi Mihelic Cari Miller David Miller Chris Minx Sean Mollet Maria Maloney Scott Moreth David Morris Chris Morton Jennifer Moyer Gordana Mraovic 98 Freshmen �Elyse Decker enjoys the company.

Freshmen IOI �SWEET OR NOT SO SWEET DREAMS Did you ever have a day that you thought was a nightmare, yet was real? The day begins at 5:30 A.M. with that dreaded buzzing of your alarm clock. Your first reaction to the annoying sound is to press the snooze button, but on this particular day instead of pressing that button your sub-conscious tells you to turn it off. After what you thought was five minutes, you open your eyes, look at the clock to see if you have a little more time, and see that is is 7:00 A.M. At this point you jump out of bed and head for the bathroom, thinking about how after school you can come home and sleep. Suddenly you remember that you have a detention for cutting the last class the day before. You're not worried that you missed the bus already, because you figure that mom can drive you before she goes to work. You peek into her room to ask her and nobody's there. All you see is a note saying that she had to leave early and she hopes you have a good day. All ready to leave at 7:20 A.M. you start an eight mile hike. You arrive at school by 7:35 A.M., but while running up the stairs all your books and papers fall throughout the stairwell. After collecting all the papers it is 7:38 A.M. You finally get to homeroom 45 seconds before the class is dismissed and explain everything to the teacher. In return you get a referral with the statement, "This was your second time."

ASSEMBLY BEATS THE HEAT On September 6, with the temperature a mere 100 degrees in the gymnasium, over 1974 students and faculty gathered for the second annual "welcome back" assembly. Folders were turned into fans as everyone tried desperately to keep cool, but the heat just became more intense. Mistress of Ceremonies, senior Judy Zemsky, wished everyone a warm welcome back. 108 Many unplanned surprises characterized the pep assembly. In the middle of Principal Dr. Ring's speech, chants of "less filling and tastes great" began with the senior class and continued with the juniors. Student Senate president senior Dean Marinakas, who was supposed to speak, was replaced at the last minute when his speech was not approved by the administration. Indian mascot senior Judy Asher fired up the crowd with a rendition of the song "Shout," to the point where people began to move from the bleachers to the gymnasium floor to dance. Pompon girls were surprised by a false start in their music which forced them to "freeze" until the music was restarted. The final surprise of all surprises was the sudden ending of the assembly without the traditional playing of the school song by the band. Showing their spirit , the senior class expresses their joy to finally be seniors. The opening Assembly was the Class of '86's first chance to be "real seniors." Despite these happenings, the assembly included typical components consisting of performances by the varsity cheerleaders and speeches by Student Union president senior Jenni Holt and theater department representative senior Andy Mills. Robert Murphy, representing the faculty was an added touch this year with his welcome back speech. "Overall, I thought the assembly went well. A lot of things that took place wen~ byond my control but t~at is thJ risk you take when you plan something for so many people. ,,. I was very pleased to see everyone showing so much positive spirit so early in the year," concluded Judy Zemsky. �) Passing out 3-D glasses before the assembly is senior Mark Poolos.

From 9:45 until 11:45, the entire student body was invited to come, dance, and have a good time. Tickets were sold in advance for two dollars. Despite the bad weather conditions, many students showed up to make the bash a big success. The disc jockey provided a variety of music to which everyone danced. Refreshments were also served to give students a chance to cool off. For all who attended, the Back to School Bash was a great way to get together with friends, bo~h old and new, and dance into the new school year. According to Sophomore Ryan Stoeterau, "The bash was a great way to forget the pressures of starting school and just have fun." Helping the students achieve the maximum level of fun is a DJ from Dance Experience. He kept the dance going strong until II p.m. with his interesting mix of songs.

It was a good way to meet more people and have some fun. Sophomore Wendy Martin explained, "I met some new people and had a great time doing it." Music by disc jockey Don Davis played throughout the night. The energetic music ranged from 60's to modern day new wave. Refreshments, including brownies, punch, and every kind of cookie imaginable, were laid out for the students, giving them a break from all the dancing. Most of the students showed up in casual clothes, but some did get punked out. A few of the Sophomores brightened up the evening by wearing togas. Sophomore Dawn Jacobs commented, "More Sophomores should have dressed up in toga." All this excitement helped to make the night a success. Getting into the spirit of the dance by wearing togas are sophomores Jason Litwin and Chris Bradbury.

Happenings 113 �STRIKE GIVES STUDENTS ''MINI VACATION'' While Niles West students were only in their third week of school, it was announced that there would be a strike. The strike began on September 30 and continued until October 9. Although teachers picketed throughout the eight days, students used this time as a "mini-vacation" to sleep, go out, spend time with friends, or catch up on their favorite soap operas. Freshmen returned to school for half a day on October 8, and were to continue going to school this way. But that night, problems were resolved and school resumed on October 9. The first day back was a bit chaotic. Classes started two hours late and many students didn't even show up because they were not aware that the strike had ended. But soon, school was "back to normal" and students realized that their "mini-vacations" were over and it was back to work once again. Estelle Nikolakakis '89 Discussing the recent strike proposal with Dean Kupferberg is 111ath teacher Stan Jones.

As shown by the impressive turnout, students from many schools took advantage of the chance to get more information about various colleges. �ACADEMIC PURSUIT On Tuesday, October I, over 200 coleges and universities were represented at college night. Juniors and .seniors who were college-bound were able to walk around to the diffetent booths displayed throughout the cafeteria, gymnasium, 'Y'd first ·and second floors. Larger universities occupied classrooms ar\d held question-and-answer sessions. Students received pamphlets and brochures from various schools. College night,'sponsored by the guidance center, seemed to be an informative and worthwhile experience for many Niles Township students. Junior Chris Olsen explained, "It helped me decide which colleges would be good for me." This seemed to be the case mainly for students who knew what career they wanted to pursue. However, for people who were undecided, such as senior Nissin Behar, college night was not as rewarding. Behar stated," I thought it was a little disorganized. There wasn't enough time to ask enough questions." Many other students who walked into the gym and were overwhelmed by the numerous colleges cramped together shared this view. Or. Cocking, who was involved in the preparation of college night, observed, "It went very well. The attendance was as good as in the past and there were fewer cancellations fr~m universities then for the past two to three years." In reference to the number of colleges undecided students had to contend with, he replied, "It's a shopping experience." In the future, Dr. Cocking felt that it would be a good idea to have a preparatory class for college night. These sessions would give advice to students about what kinds of questions to ask and which colleges they might look at if they know what field they will be entering. Meanwhile, college bound students can go to their counselors for answers to these and other questions. 1\ : • - "'3.

Some students wanted to go as far as starting a food fight in the cafeteria to follow the example of "Animal House," but security assured them that B.A.C. didn't quite fit into the theme. "Animal House" day brought out a little bit of wildness in all who participated, but it didn't make a difference because "it was all Greek to them" "Toga day presented West students with a whole new world of fun," concluded junior Dale Sherman.

They were just like incoming freshman coming to a new school. However, with the help of the cheerleaders, the parents came out smiling, knowing they were headed in the right direction. Many activities went on in the cafeteria that evening. Parents were able to meet with athletic teams and the different organizations, such as the Student Union, AFS, and the class cabinets. They were also able to listen to the orchestra perform. A fun and informative evening was had by all. Open House 133 �I Halloween turned out to be a day of creativity and surprise. Participating in the fun are seniors Carrie Kaplan as a playboy bunny. Lisa Sandlow as a doctor, Laurie Adams as static cling, and Jackie Rozencwajg as a baby. No. it is not Madonna, but it is close. Pictured is senior Jon Lisco in his extraordinarily accurate disguise. Grabbing a banana before his next class is the Niles West gorilla. Some costumes on Halloween proved to be extremely original and outragous. 134 Halloween �SCARY SITUATION It was the night of the Black Sabbath. Witches and warlocks gathered around the cauldron and chanted in an unearthly manner. People in the village knew this was the day to hide their young. Witches would sacrifice children from the villages to show their loyalty to their lord, Satan. It was day for the undead to celebrate their day of freedom from their natural dormant state. It was Halloween. Although Halloween is not celebrated with sacrifices anymore, it is celebrated among the living in various other ways. Parents usually dress up their children in costumes and take them begging for candy. "trick' or treating." This is an old custom, orignating from those days when the spirits of the underworld would come for children and parent$ would give them candy instead, so they wouldn't take the offspring. An unidentified monster gets into the Halloween spirit. Students from all grade levels participated in this mysterious and magical day. Teenagers, especially at Niles West, celebrate in their own festive ways. Egg throws and shaving cream fights are popular during evening hours. "I love to chase the kids around when they come to my house. I put on my gorilla mask and toss eggs at them," stated David Bloom. oR' """ Senior Jeff Lowell, a fairy princess, comes to the aid of rookey football player Heather Ross. Both seniors enjoy getting into the Halloween spirit. Cheerleading is not as easy as it looks as seniors Mark Poulakidas and David Weinberg find out. They also notice that the cheerleading skirts do very little to keep their knees warm. Halloween 135 �POW wow 1985. A HCELEBRATION!'' "Celebration," the rock musical which depicted an orphan and his struggle to obtain the remnants of an orphanage in which he once lived, marked the theme for Pow Wow '85.

FIERCE FINALS Though many teachers saw them as an efficient means of measuring acquired knowledge during a semester of a given course, many students saw final exams as a rather tedious chore. For example, junior Craig Keer said that he found them " ... mentally and physically draining - all I could do was watch cartoons afterward." Sophomore Missy Rabin thought they were " . . . a real pain," and freshman Mark Adriani thought they were " .. . just such a hassle." Some didn't seem to care. Senior Lisa Sandlow thought finals were only "a minor inconvenience," and Jamie Boton, also a senior, found them "a joke." Like them or not, all students had to take final exams in all of their credited courses.

CLASS OF 1990 VISITS On March 5, 1986, the annual Mini Open House was held for the incoming freshman class of 1990. The purpose of this evening was to introduce the different courses and activities that will be available to the students in the years that they attend Niles West. Counselors met with parents and students in different areas around the school. They discussed topics such as the new graduation requiremen ts. the grade-weig ht system, and the basic freshman cirriculum. Teachers from each departmen t had demonstrat ions and discussions about their individual subjects. Foods classes had tempting samples made by students available to the incoming freshmen and their parents. The physical education department held a series of games keeping a carnival-like atmospher e in the gymnasium. In the cafeteria members from various clubs and activities like Basketball, German Club, and Student Union were stationed to answer questions and sign up interested students. The Mini Open House proved to be a great way to show the class of 1990 and their parents some different aspects of Niles West. Proud of their many conference and state titles, the Niles West Wrestling team displays the symbol of their victories. Uon't worry . kid , we won't hurt you," Varsity football players juniors Curt Takiguchi , Paul Kasprak , and J.J.

Mini Open House 155 �OUR FAVORITE LADY During this past year. the restoration of the Statue of Liberty became a very important matter. Various types of fund raisers took place all over the United States hoping to raise enough money. Niles West also participated in the fund raising by entering the Run For Liberty. An assembly was held in the auditorium explaining what the run was about. Students were given several days to receive pledges from sponsors who would be willing to help. A specific amount of sponsors could win you a Run For Liberty button or T-shirt. The run took place on October 28 and 29, and all students ran whether they had sponsors or not. Many teachers ran too. "Inspirational" music was played while students ran (or should I say walked) around the track. Although the fund raiser was for a good cause, it was not very successful. Some money was collected, but not as much as they had expected. However. the money that was obtained will be very useful and will serve an important purpose, the restoration of the Statue of Liberty! Athletic Director Gerald Turry congratulates Judy Sloan. who directed the Run for Liberty. on the success of the event. The Run for Liberty could not have occurred without the help and support of the gym teachers. "What a job!" Sophomores Benjamin Salkin and Julie Doehler proudly exclaim to each other. Benjamin and Julie raised the most money of all Niles West students to be used to restore the Statue of Liberty. Proudly displaying the Lady Liberty portrait that Niles West received for its participation in the Run for Liberty are sophomores Benjamin Salkin and Julie Doehler. 156 Run For Liberty ��GOING, GOING, GONGED AGAIN! Though many of the acts found themselves performing after very little preparation, the second annual Niles West Gong Show still proved to be the talent showcase that all in attendance has expected. Acts ranged from the bizarre to the ridiculous. A vocal group pleased the crowd so much that they left the stage dodging dozens of thrown dimes. A trio of dancing aliens, a comical batch of nerds, and even a mime, who fortunately, was beat silly by members of his own act, highlighted the show. The winning act, "Scholastic Rockers" featuring seniors Jon Lisco, Garrett Feinberg and Ian Faloona, wowed the audience with riveting renditions of Saturday morning cartoon ditties from the past. The five-person panel of judges was comprised of Dr. Ring, principal, Dr. Stein, director of Language arts, Rita Stewart, director of student services, William Koch, band director, and Carl (Gong Em!) Geis, math wizard. The panel gonged many well-deserving acts and most of all agreed that they performed their job quite well. Few acts ran the Gong Show gauntlet and lived to tell the tale, but those who did had quite a tale to tell. In the words of Dale Sherman, a junior and surviving member of the act "Wham, Barn, Thank You, Mime-" "It was an experience like none I've ever had before or hope to again." Will the real Bruce Springsteen please stand up? The audienc·e is confused as sophomore Arthur Tiersky does a touching rendition of "My Bar.-Mitzvah" to the tune of Springsteen's "My Hometown." Obviously pleased with junior Mark Gussin's guitar P,laying. M.C. James Puff shows his taste in music. Although he did not win. Mark was able to Jinlsh his performance before he was gonged. 158 Gong Show �"Nerds are people. too!" proclaims senior Dawn Mazzetta. Despite some technical difficulties. this "Revenge of the Nerds" act was a big success. Hosting the Gong Show is a rough job, but somebody has to do it. Mr. Puff took on this difficult task for the second year in a row and pulled it off with style. Who are these bubble headed aliens? Collecting third prize for their routine 'Tm Praying to the Aliens" are seniors Andrea Poet, Karina Doyle, and Judy DeAcetis. The fans went crazy for the first place act. the "Schoolastic Rockers." Seniors Garrett Fienberg. Jon Lisco. and Ian Faloona brought down the house and left the crowd screaming for more. Gong Show 159 �Freshmen Mindy Grossberg and Rob Mandell pause for a quick picture before dancing to the music of this year's band, the Yanks. Turnabout was a popular event among underclassmen as well as juniors and seniors. . The Turnabout Dance, planned by Student Union, turned out to be one of the most memorable events of the year. Moving to the beat of their favorite tune are seniors George Kotsiopoulos and Stephanie Leader. I 160 Not exactly the next Bruce Springsteen, but the music of the Yanks was good and easy to dance to. The students appreciated a live band instead of the standard D.J. that is always present at the bashes. Excited , but exhausted are freshmen Kevin Hansen and Julie Wiltgen. This year's Turnabout was a magical trip through Candyland. �CANDYDANCE Turnabout, what is turnabout? It is exactly what it says, the reverse of the normal formal dance. The girls ask the guys and the guys turn them down or they don't, depending on who has asked them. This Years turnabout was run by student union who have sponsered the majority of the activities this year. The theme was Willie Wonka: a trip through candyland, featuring the Yanks. The Yanks of course were the musical entertainment of the evening. According to some, they were a very enjoyable part of their candyland voyage. Adam Zimmerman remarked, "they did not play the top 40, they played stuff that, to me, went over very well." Others were not so elated with the group. Senior Pam Sotiropoulos was one of them, "they're weren't enough slow songs" was her brief critical remark. -- ' "Is everybody having fun?" the lead singer from Yanks questions. The students answer with a resounding. "Yes." 1 But as with all candies, things that are good don't last too long. Eventually the Willie Wonka trip ended leaving many people with memories that they may never forget. A "golden ticket" was this year's pass into Turnabout. Here, fre~hmen Marina Grinshpun and Jimmy Bibizas wait to get into the dance. Admiring the dance decorations and centerpieces are junior Cecile Yoon and her date. Steve Alschuler. Many students thought that the candy dispersed throughout the dance was a nice touch. Turnabout 161 ���THE YEAR IN SPORTS . ~ I t 164 Sport s �Sports 165 �Executing his professional baseball knowledge, this player scores and brings home another victory for the Indians. "TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME'' "Take me out to the ball game, Take me out to the crowd . .. " Yes, these are the first two lines to the song we all know. However, for sophomore and freshman baseball players, these words mean little. For these dedicated ball players who practice hitting a curve outside in the fortydegree weather the only reason for playing the game, is the joy of playing. Head Coach Klebba summed it up by saying, "High School baseball is not a spectator sport. The players are there because they enjoy playing the game, not because of the glory and recognition they get." Coach Klebba explained that one of their goals was to have fun and to win as many games as possible. Some of the boys that helped do the job were Craig Harris, Brian Israel, George Langis, and Paul Kim. On the J.V. and Varsity levels coached by Mr. Galla and Mr. Nelson the players used the skills that they had mastered during their previous years to win all their games. Some outstanding players were Seniors Joe Lockner, Rick May burn, Jeff Lowell and Tom Merkel. When these ball players grow up and have their grandchildren on their knees, do you think they will tell them, "Son, I used to play ball in forty-degree weather for fun?". You bet your peanuts and cracker jacks on it. 166 Boys Baseball Practicing is a major part of team work which leads to success, Senior Joe Lochner practices to improve his pitching. �Front row: B, Wada.

When junior Greg Czernik was asked what he thought about this situation, he replied, "It is difficult to adjust to a new coach and a whole new system, but I think we did a good job becoming accostumed to Coach Meyer's new offense. Even though our record may not show it, we worked extremely hard during practice and games, and have become a respected basketball team." When Coach Meyer was asked what the school's team lacked, he replied, "There needs to be more basketball played in the community before High School level. They are physically not a very tall team, so we have to concentrate on the skill level and give the team experience." The basketball players on the Junior Varsity Team felt the same way. Junior Jeff Altschul said, "I'm very excited about the new season and the new coach. It is honor to play for Coach Meyer. I hope to be part of the rebuilding of the basketball team's winning tradition at Niles West." If past accomplishments by the Meyer family dictate the future, Niles West fans will have a lot to look forward to the next few years·. 168 Boys Basketball �B , A s K E T B A L l While trying to beat top ranked Highland Park. senior John Hahn attempts a jumpshot.

Coaches Miner, Opels, and Doyle endlessly drilled the team, practicing until the players automatically had the plays in their heads. The experience and leadership developed during the first two years pays off in the junior and senior seasons. "The practices were tiring but we all know that it is for the good of the team," said freshman Max Schulman. The coaches tried to pound the thought of "playing for the team" into the players. and after two years the players learned that there is no "I" in the word team. This concept remains as one of the main guidelines of varsity sports.

They played with an intense style. The team, with their hardwork and dedication, showed great talent throughout the season. Coach Earl led the team to many victories. The music they played inspired them at each practice and before every game, as they ran up and down the court. Although the workouts were tough, the team stuck together and made it through a season full of great memories. With the absence of Kathy Sokalski, the Indians strived to work harder and overcompensate for her loss. "It made us a stronger character team," stated junior Diane Field. The Evanston Tournament proved to be a thrilling experience. Despite the many absences, the team managed to pull together and take a third place. "The team was hard working and played well together. Even though the team is young, we get better at each practice," commented sophomore forward Linda Steiner. Outstanding players were Linda Steiner, Diane Field, and Helen Georgakopoulus. Front row, J.

The team was lead by Coach Klebba; "Our coach was very fair in giving us all equal amount of playing time throughout the games," commented sophomore guard Claudia Ridley."

In the conference meet they tied for third which placed them fourth in the conference itself. Freshman Peggy Campbell, Debbie Pozdol, and Junior Kathy Campbell, were All-Conference. Captains Felicia Bakshy and Andrea Poet were outstanding leaders. While the teachers were on strike, both the girls and boys on the team organized the Indian Invite and hosted it all on their own. Two highlights were Peggy Camp· bell's first place win in the freshman confer· ence meet and Debbie Pozdol's fourth. " It was a super year," replied Head Coach Judi Sloan, "We had an abundance of young runners, the largest group since the team started. There will definitely be improvement next year. There are a lot of new runners plus this was a very good year." Not only did the runners participate in meets, but they also observed the state meet in Peoria and went to Oglesby during the sum· mer. Their record in dual meets resulted in an 8:2 record!

We have to hold our heads high and come back alive,'' stated coach Richardson during a hot, summertime practice before their first game against Maine East. Niles West's strong offense was headed by the likes of seniors Joe Barber, Doug St. Marie, Jeff Lowell and Tom Merkel. The equally strong defense was spearheaded by Ray Giderof, Gary Paustian, Mike Kirchens, Chris Cordes and J.J. McColloh. In the Homecoming game, the Indians defeated the Maine West Warriors by a score of 196. This was the season's final game, but not its final honor to the Indians. Named as "AllConference" were Jeff Lowell, Doug St. Marie, Ray Giderof, Rick Maybrun and J.J. McColloh. All in all, the season was looked upon as positive. Senior Jeff Lowell stated that "Even if our record didn't show it, we still had a pretty good season . . . we had good talent and we were strong at the end . . . we did the best we could considering the strike."

TEAM GAINS EXPERIENCE Being a member of the Junior Varsity Football Team wasn't easy for most players. Playing time was limited and the J.V. team played only four games. The reasons for this included a limited schedule to begin with and the obvious interruption of the strike. J.V. players were present at every practice and worked just as hard as the varsity players. However, they received only a small portion of the recognition. The Junior Varsity Team was under the direction of Coach Fred Crusunski. The team lost the four games they played. Most team members felt that not enough time was available for them to practice, leaving them unprepared for their games. Most players also agreed that their losses were due to their disorganized teams. The J.V. players realized, however, that they are the future Varsity Football Tearn. They are all very· hopeful! for a better record next year, but agree that some major changes must occur. Junior player B.J. Miiier stated, "I would expect a drastic change between this year and next in the football program." Front Row: P. Schaffer, K. Kleiner, M. Slima, W. Youhana, M. Cooper, C. Harris, S. Poulos, D.

Golf calls for a lot of skill and coordination, as well as a steady arm and accurate judging distance. Several factors affected their season. The strike had a major effect as there was a poor turn-out from the sophomore class. They were also in the toughest conference in the state. Despite these circumstances, two seniors, David Cohen and John Spagoletti qualified for sectionals. The team played 12 tournaments and won three. When asked what he thought about the _ team's season, Junior Tom Joseph replied, "We had the talent, but we just didn't apply it." R.

Some of the outstanding team members included Tom Joseph, Dennis Maybrun, Bob Krebs, Marty Fenton, Scott Jackson, and Sung Kim. Bob Krebs stated, "I am involved in this sport because I feel gymnastics is unique and different than any other sport. It involves much talent and the Niles West team has what it takes to do the job." The Sophomore gymnastics team, coached by Louis Torres, was physically strong and mentally tenacious. They set their individual and team goals and were excited about them. Stated coach Torres, "Sports are fun and challenging.

KICKERS GIVE OPPONENTS HTHE BOOT" i The Boys' Vars_ty Soccer Team had what senior co-captain Mike Reinhardt called "a season of ups and downs." \ ! The team compiled an overall record of 810-1. Along with all the other fall sports teams the strike had a major effect on the soccer season. The team was able to make up the games lost but they had to play five conference games in four days. "For the most part of the regular season our schedule was filled with very tough games," stated Reinhardt. In one week the team beat the number nine ranked team in the state New Trier, by a · score of 1-0, number .20 ranked Loyola, 5-2, and the number 24 ranked team Oak Park t 3-1, a_ home.

KICKING OFF THE SEASON Ability and speed is what a sport needs, along with teamwork, and the Girls Varsity Soccer had it all. "We play to win, but we have fun when we play. It's exciting to play in a sport that is rapidly increasing in popularity across America. Some of my best high school memories were made with other members of the team," answered Jennifer Lund in response to the above. The kickers maintained the intensity and discipline needed to sustain their potent, short-passing game. "The team played with determination and dedication," one spectator said. The team maintained their competitiveness at the state level. Goalie Karina Doyle, and Defenders Peg Donath, Cynthia Papoutsakis, and Cathy Tamraz were outstanding team members. "The girls' soccer team defies words," responded Doyle. "We play to have fun, and because of our high level of enthusiasm - combined with talent - we have been able to remain competitive with some of the best teams in the state. That's what athletics are all about." Coach Joe Brennan is happy that the team has come along so far, "from club to varsity. From local recognition to all conference, all state and all-american.

Coach Steve Ramseyer commented, "With a little practice and hardwork, we have a great chance to win conference." The highlight of the season was when they beat Deerfield, a top ranked team in conference. The team was led by a lot of swimmers including freshman Andy Browder. Senior John Tzortzis pushes himself forward with the breaststroke. John is one of the eleven seniors who will be leaving. The Junior Varsity Team opened the season with a 2 - 2 record. They had a tough early loss against Deerfield, losing only by two points, but came back with a strong victory against Norte Dame. The Team's best event was the relay race anchored by Sophomore Art Sanchez along with Junior Mike Gut who had competed in state last year. The Varsity Tearn had a start of a 5-0 record. Winning their first five meets was difficult because their schedule included swimming against Maine East and Glenbrook South, two strong rivals. Senior Alan Dassow led the team to many victories and broke many records himself. "He was one of the best swimmers I have ever seen." Said Coach Don Larson.

Mastering their skills, disciplining themselves, and working together like a family were all part of going the distance and becoming a winner. The 1986 track team was not large in number, but it was strong in quality athletes with the potential to be conference champions. "We have many outstanding athletes on our team. If everyone performs to her ability, we should be a strong challenger for the conference championship. Also, several of our team members have potential to be state qualifiers," commented Coach Jean Armour. "The reason I decided to join track was because I like to run and I like the intense competion. I also love to win. Niles West is a very nice school and I'm glad to be on its team," stated Senior Rena Andrews .. Senior high jumper Sue Maliwanag added, "I have high expections for this year's track team, not only competitively, but-noncompetitively as well. I feel it is as important to have friends from other schools as being a good sportsman. The 1986 Track Team is very unified and family-like. I know that this year will be successful." Track is an exciting sport where an athlete can test her ability against other individuals. Some outstanding members were Laura Oroni, Kathy Campbell, Sarah Kim, and Debbie Blonder. Freshman Peggy Campbell puts in her spikes before the big race. Besides running. Peggy also does the high jump. Sophomore Sara Kim springs into palce to get her personal best jump.

The relay takes a lot of practice to get th.e baton off at the right time. KEEPING THE PACE "Distance and middle distance running takes more discipline and hard work than most other sports'," explained Track Coach Pat Savage. Because of this, practices were more difficult and demanding this year than in past years, which resulted in achieving the team's goal of faster times and better placing in the meets. Another factor that helped in achieving this goal was that the athletes seemed more dedicated. Their goals were more realistic and they had a winning attitude, as typified by Senior Rockey lee, who stated, "I am involved in distance running because I love to run and because Coach Savage has motivated me to work hard to improve and to qualify for the state meets." There were approximately 15 team members, headed by Coach Pat Savage and Assistant Coach Ron Campbell. Some of the outstanding team members were Senior Rocky lee, Juniors Seung Lee and Mark Kim and Sophomore Steve Rosen. Track is a team when individuals have success. So, having more successful individuals will give you a better team like the one here at Niles West! 208 Boys Track Junior Kurt Takiguchi sprints the last leg of his race.

Yashon, Larry Meyer, Doug Hirsh, Steve Rosen, and Scott Poulos strongly exemplify these characteristics. Coach Campbell, track team coach for all levels, was asked how the track team would do this year. He replied, "We are in year two of a rebuilding program. Our goal is to be competitive in invitational meets on the frosh/ soph level." In its first two meets of the season the track team was victorious over both Sullivan and Bakesville.

The American Field Service is an organization to join for new and incredible experiences. During the school year exchange students from countries around the world live at a student's house. The exchange students are 'adopted' by the student's family. The exchange students attend school and are able to experience first hand the American way of life. Likewise, in the summer for three months, students from West travel to countries all around the world. They have the same oppurtunity to experience new cultures and lifestyles. The co-sponsors for AFS were Mr. Murphy and Mrs. Carr. The President of the club was Mr. Kerstein. Meetings were held various days after school and on Wednesday nights. Some of the club's fundraisers were selling raffle tickets and selling Halloween-0-Grams. One activity the group participated in was going downtown and showing the exchange students around the city. The club's goals are to raise more money to send more students away and to get more students involved. The two students going away this year are Patricia Kerstein and Andrea Wollenberg.

The H.E.L.P. organization was open to any student concerned about the famine. "When I read that 40,CXX) people will die a day. of hunger, I cried. I was so moved that it stirred me up to do something and get people involved," stated the club's president senior Letitia Cadavid. Sophomore Dessie Atsaves added. " It seems that I have all the material things, but there is a great feeling when someone gives." Giving was an important achievement that was accomplished by the H.E.L.P. organization. ) AFS/ HELP 219 �A "GUT" CLUB! The German Club, sponsored by Mr. Brink, took part in many activities.

The club, now five years old, met once a month in the evening to talk and make plans for upcoming events. This was all done with the help of Mrs. Panos, sponsor of the club. Some of the activities the club participated in were a Greek dinner, fundraisers, International night, and the annual bike-a-thon. The bike-a-thon raised funds to help children from Greece come to the U.S. and have operations. Everyone is invited to join the Hellenic Club. You don't have to be Greek to have a good time participating in the activities. Maria Psyhogios and Sylvia Karalokas stated that the purpose of the club was "To promote Greek heritage in Niles West and to get non-Greeks better acquainted with Greek customs." There were approximately 30 students involved in the club. Last year's officers were Andria Georgakopoulos, president; Angie Antonakos, vice-president; and Helen Georgakopoulos, treasurer. Students For Israel/Helle nic Club 221 �Casa Central . . . have you heard of it? If you were a member of the Spanish Club you would have. You'd also know about activities for raising money for Mexican and Columbian relief. Sponsors Mrs. Georgieve and Miss O'Rielly were very enthusiastic about the Spanish Club. They praised the club saying, "It was an activity where students found out more about people and their lives in Spanish-speaking countries, and where they could become acquainted with students who have similar interests." Treasurer, Senior Judy De Acetis, agreed. "I thought the best way to be with others who shared my interest in the language would be to join the Spanish Club." Other members of the board included President Steve Le Hew, Vice President Jill Colen, and secretary Nissin Behar. The purpose of Spanish Honor Society was, according to senior member Adam Dolinko, "to help perpetuate academic achievement in the foreign language subject area." The society was made up of 23 students, all of whom had completed at least five semesters of Spanish with a B+ to A- average or better. Members par.ticipated in the International Fair, coordinated by the Foreign Language Department, and they attended a Spanish play. "The Spanish Honor Society has proven themselves to be excellent students and to have a deep interest in the beautiful Spallish language," stated · sponsor Herminia LQpez. �What was different about the Chess Club in the 1985-86 school year? Nothing. In fact, this club wouldn't have had it any other way. They got together for one purpose. and one purpose only: chess. the sport of Kings. The Niles West Chess Club. a member of the North Suburban Chess League, played twelve matches in the 1985-86 season. Although the team wasn't as strong as had been anticipated, due to the loss of two members from the previous season. the club finished respectably. In April, the club ended the season with the State High School Tournament at Evanston High School. The dedication so often associated with the Chess Club was best summed up by Fred Delphin. captain of the team, who said. "I wish to· contribute all I can to improve the game." The prospect of nuclear war. the Reagan-Gorbachev summit meeting. the comprehensive test ban treaty and the crisis in Central America were just some of the main topics discussed by Current Event Club members last year. "The club proved a unique forum for the discussion of those relevant issues," explained senior participant Eric Kopfstein. Members not only expanded their knowledge concerning world issues through group interviews, discussions and films. but were also urged to form individual opinions. "The club encouraged critical thinking , exposing stu. dents to more controversial subjects than they would normally encounter in day-to-day classroom activities," verified Tom McMahon, the club's sponsor. Approximately .lO students participated in the bi-weekly. Wednesday afternoon meetings. As the young club's exposure slowly grew. McMahon clarified that he viewed the club as an adequate "supplement to classroom activities" whose main intent was the expansion of knowledge through the interpretation and discussion of recent world developments. Every day. every morning. an all too familiar "ding" followed by an update of the news of interest was heard throughout the Niles West halls and homerooms. They were brought to us by Cheryl Shimanovsky, Chris Samuel, and Rebecca Kolber-the P.A. Announcers. Rebecca Kolber said, "I enjoy this activity because if I'm in a cheerful mood in the morning, I make everyone sick." Sheryl Shimanovsky said, "I love shocking people by telling them I'm a "Morning Mouth". They don't believe me and usually ask me to prove it." To add a bit of spice to their morning routine, they began making up little tunes to play on the xylophone before they read the announcements. On Fridays, they said "Have a good weekend" instead of "Have a good day." And they did this all to make the unbearable mornings here at West a little less painful. �SADD PROMOTES SAFETY S.A.D.D., Students Against Driving Drunk, is an organization which promotes the separation of drinking and driving. Sponsor Paul VanCleave stated, "During the last three years since we organized S.A.D.D. at Niles West, the students have worked hard to accomplish the goals of S.A.D.D., which are to save their own lives and the lives of others, to educate the students concerning the problem of drinking and driving, and to increase public awareness and prevention of this problem everywhere. S.A.D.D.'s efforts th is year included showcase displays and S.A.D.D. Awarness Day. Co-chairpersons of S.A.D.D. were seniors Jon Lisco, Judy Zemsky and Lynn Sonkin. Senior David Rubin thinks about .~is second move. 224 S.A.D.D. �U OF C COACH REALLY HELPS A new resolution involving the quality of water in the United States was just one of the many changes Niles West traditional debaters faced this past year. The most significant change involved the addition of new head coach Scott Durschlag, a student at the University of Chicago. "Getting a new coach really helped our team," explained senior Sonja Bychkov, the team's president. "Scott brought a lot of new ideas and worked really hard with us." Another change involved the team's expansion to the Lincoln/ Douglas Debate. Under the instruction of cocoach James Batts, a few members participated in this new form, which, unlike traditional, involved the disof cussion _ moral issues based on liberty, equality and justice, rather than factual ones concerning nuclear war and water contamination. The L.D. debating was done on an individual basis without the need of a partner as traditional form required. "I thought the opportunity to finally participate in LD. was great," commented one varsity team member. "It offered me the opportunity to see what I could really accomplish on my own." Although the traditional sector of the team failed to reach its goal of establishing a national contender to represent West in any of the three competing divisions, members such as sophomore Greg Rosow felt "next year will prove more rewarding." l Senior debater Judith Mann smiles at accomplishments of the club. Debate 225 �MATH TEAM I Over the years. the Math T earn has expanded its number of participants and its involvement in competitions. The 50- 75 students included a variety of freshmen. sophomores and upperclassmen. "It is enjoyable working with math team members because we spend our entire energy on problem solving," stated one of the team's sponsors. "Since I'm not taking any math courses this year. I get my "dose" on the math team. plus, I have a lot of fun," said senior and club Vice-President Andy Mills. "Taking math exams may be a strange way to spend an evening. but for me. Math Team has been interesting. challenging, and rewarding," stated club president senior Jerry Kang. 226 Mathematics Tearn I Mr. Filliman helps the Math Team prepare for a meet. Members of the team had to practice for hours after school to get ready for statewide and national competitions. �IA STRONG,HEAVYI COMPETITION Mr. Geis tallies the scores after an intense practice for the Academic Bowl Team. His• first year as co-sponsor, Mr. Geis has contributed an enormous amount of help to the team. If you have a strong stomach for heavy competition. then you are probably an avid follower of the Academic Competition Club. The club is a compilation of sharp. well-rounded members with quick recall. Ian Faloona's opinion of himself and his teammates was this, "We are all a bunch of nervous basket cases because each question has the paramount intensity of a $500 Double Jeopardy." The club tried a few new things this year. First on the list was the new coach, Carl Geis. Commented Geis, "I was very excited about coaching the club. We had some very adept members this year." As the result of an exciting new coach and the well-qualified. experienced coach. Mrs. Shapiro. the club was psyched for the Stevenson Academic Bowl. the Hillsboro and Bradley Bourbonnais Bowls. and national contests in which the club competed via computer. Although the club began meeting in late November. most competitions took place in the spring. Senior Kim Liou does some quick figuring on paper. then pushes his buzzer. His thinking has been a valuable asset for the club. Academic Competition Club 227 �FLY THE FRIENDLY SKIES Once again the Aeronautics Club flew the skies. The leaders of this year's flight plan were pilot, junior Young-Sik Whang; co-pilot, junior Dawn llling and air traffic controller, science teacher Wayne Rogoski. The two general types of aircraft in flight and under construction were rockets and line-controlled airplanes, both of which were flown on a regular basis. Sponser Wayne Rogoski stated, "The motto of this club is 'The sky 's the limit.' We have proven this time and time again with such successes as Slotkowski, our dirigble, and our Polack series of nine-foot rockets." The club hoped to challenge the crafting and flying skills of the crew by staging competitions. They also took time to visit the Air Museum, hobby conventions, and military aid stations. . . . .'· . MCC PROMOTES SMOKEOUT The Medical Careers Club's big activity was the Great American Smoke-Out. Students and faculty were supposed to give up their bad habit of smoking, for one day. When asked what he thought about the Great American Smoke-Out, Junior Tom Abelson replied, "The smokeout was a very groovy idea, and I wish the period (to help smokers) would be longer." The other activities planned by the .20 members of the club were helping with the blood drive, planning a fund-raising activity, and hosting speakers in medical careers. The officers were President Mike Edwards, Vice-President Debbie Virchinsky, and Secretary Cecile Yoon. �ECOLOGY CLUB EDUCATIONAL �WEST OF EDENS '\ • I ,;:,.._ ,,.J f-----.a"'· .. ____ , ... _ Front Row: Marc Lipsky, Helen Vayzrnan.

The process of taking pictures takes hours of work in the darkroom after the smiles have been captured. But for those who enjoy this sort of thing , the Photography Club provided a forum for fun. The club e xpanded its membership greatly this year. According to Photography Club President Joseph J. Born, "We have members who are nearly professionals and members who don't even know what it's all about. It 's a fun way to learn about photography." "Art is an outlet to express yourself," explains sponsor Gary Davis. That's exactly what Art Council is about. Students of this club have worked independently on their projects and visited such places as the Art Expo and Navy Pier. Accomplishments such as the mural on the cafeteria wall by Steve Lee was an example of creativity displayed by club members. Gary Davis' goal to "reach out to students who may not take art, but wish to after school" has been accomplished. ��J "N-Club is an organization of young men and women who have shown more than their share of commitment to athletics and school spirit," stated N-Club sponsor Brian Katzman. To be a member of this proud group. student athletes from any sport must have earned a varsity letter. N-Club members raised funds by working the candy and popcorn concessions for girls' home basketball games. They sponsored an all-school volleyball tournament and the annual N-Club vs. faculty basketball game. "N-Club is a good organization for student athletes who want to get involved in school activities," concluded senior member Mike Kirchens. Front Row: Charley Snell.

Honking horns in front of houses at 1.2 midnight on Thursday nights may be annoying to some of the nearby homeowners, but to Niles West Midnight Riders, it's a way to "Psych" the football players for the next day's game. Every night before a football game . .25 students, all members of Midnight Riders, drove to each Varsity player's house with personal posters and at least twenty rolls of toilet paper. Very quietly they disposed of all the toilet paper in the player's trees. grass, doors, and everything else they could throw it around. Without a noise the girls would get back into their cars. It was not until they were all ready to leave that they simultaneously honked their .horns. The loud honking continued until they were at least a block away. "We had a great time t-ping for the players. We had one of the largest Midnight Riders groups yet. I think everyone got close as a group-not all those little cliques. It helped our class as a whole a lot," said senior Cathy Tamraz. Meetings to organize and make posters were held once a week at Tamraz's house. Each member had a Midnight Rider jersey which was worn on the days of games. Member Debbie Shugall felt, "I think that doing the players' houses really helped to boost their spirits. It made them feel that we really supported them and cared if they won or lost." 236 N-Club/ Midnight Riders Front Row: Lisa Falleroni, Michele Goldberg, Laurie Adams, Jenni Holt.

The Timers' Club, sponsored by Shirly Daniel, hosted all of the home swim meets. They helped out by setting up the timing pads, putting out the chairs, and timing the meets. When asked why he joined, senior John Tzortzis said, "It's the best way to cheer for the team." With the Timers' Clubs help, the meets were well organized and ran smoothly. According to Daniel, "Without the timers, we could not have run the home swim .meets." Riders admire the job they have done; all with Posh Puff toilet paper! GUARD CLUB TAKES RESPONSIBILITY Art students set up display. While most of us enjoyed sleeping late on Saturday mornings, the Niles West Guard Club was wide awake and ready to teach three forty-five minute sessions of swimming lessons to children. Many students were involved and each was given five to eight children, from ages three to thirteen. The members of the club took responsibility for their understudies and enjoyed the task. They went from teaching kids how to float to teaching the four basic strokes: back, breast, butterfly, and freestyle.

Express ions 247 �HFORWARD MARCH" BAND PLACES AT SECTIONALS A call for "forward march" echoed throughout the football field as the Niles West Marching Band enjoyed one of it's finest years. for the first time the band competed in marching competitions. In a national tournament at Whitewater. Wisconsin, the marching band placed seventh. At Marengo. Illinois at a sectional competition, the band placed second. Also the percussion section went on their first competition ever, placing fourth. All of this and they also marched in two parades and every home football game. "Being involved with such a large group of people who are devoted to the same goals teaches a great deal about family, people and most of all, pride," stated band president senior David Rubin. After the marching band season. they moved indoors to become the symphonic and concert bands. The transition is difficult from loud, marching music to soft. flowing concert music. Both bands performed at the Holiday Festival, Boston Pops Concert, and played for graduation. The Marching and symphonic bands keep hopeful outlooks that years to come will be as successful as 1986.

And it was evident that their dedication and hard work paid off. From the Fall Festival to the May Concert, their voices were heard loud and clear. The choir hopes to attract even more people in the future so the altos and sopranos are more evenly balanced.

Their first major activitiy was planning the Frosh/Soph mixer in September. Cindy Levine enjoyed that activity, remarking that she joined cabinet because "I wanted to help plan for dances." With her efforts and many others, the dance was a total success. The next activity on their agenda was to make a spirit panel for Homecoming.

Yes, the Executive Coordinating Council played a pivotal role in communications between al' the groups at Niles West.

STUDY AREAS There are many different study areas of Niles West. Various students were asked of their favorite spot and these were some answers. The cafeteria seemed to be the most popular study area of the school. But almost everyone agrees it is one of the hardest places to concentrate. "Food is the main attraction to studying in the cafe." according to Junior Gina Lee. For band members the band_wing and main room is the best spot. Besides being able to practice music, there are other reasons for using the room. Senior Jill Zabo said, "I enjoy the quiet atmosphere, studying by the window for fresh air and being with my friends." A couch and chairs in the band wing also make studying more comfortable.

I Concen tration, that's the name of the game. Members of the C hess Club, sponsored by Mr. Holz, have to have a great deal of concentrati on in order to succeed at the game. Also each individual team member has his own strategy by which he plays. Senior Jay Zeff states, "The C hess Club offers two advantages for its members; one advantage is that it gives Chess players an opportunity to practice their skills. Students can come after school and play chess with other students. The second advantage is interscholastic competition. Twice a month the Chess Club challenges other schools in its confe rence, with the best ranking teams competing in the state invitational in April." Are you wondering how well our Chess Team is doing? Jay told us, " We now have a record of one win and one loss." W hy don't you try your hand at Chess next year? The Science Fiction and Fantasy Club enjoyed another year of p romoting science fiction among club members. Lead by se nior Karin Goldstein, president, the club of 15+ members frequently explored the Adler Planetari um. The sci-fi'ers continued to play the popular D ungeon and Dragons game (D&D) with Dungeon master Mitch Gi telman, junior, setting up the fa ntasy world where anything can and does happen. Sponsor Stan Jones lead the club to different worlds consisting of enjoying the annual showing of "Hardware Wars" and "The Day the Earth Stood Still", or escaping into one of the man y science fiction/ fantasy books from their science fiction library, or entering a strategic D&D game.

The Freshmen Class Cabinet, led by President Cristy Guenther, Vice-Presi- · dent Jean Chen, Secretary Kelly Shell, and Treasurer Sheryl Ferdman, was very active. The first event was the building of their Homecoming float. That was followed by bake sales, sucker sales, and a toy drive. The toy drive was held from December 7 until December 16, and toys went to retarded children of the Dixon State School.

Their service project was a Christmas Party at the Jane Addams Hull House. Three bake sales helped finance this venture to raise money for a senior class gift, and Tshirts were printed containing the names of all graduating Seniors. Profits from these sales enabled the students to purchase a gift that was presented at Graduation, which made an outstanding closing for the senior year.

They represent the highest expectations of our school and community," comments Dr. Groeling, the founding band director. He has kept the bands going strong for the past twenty-five years. Much credit is due to this man. The band accomplishes a great deal throughout the year including travel to many different places (such as Denver, Col. for their spring tour). Performing in pops concert, giving a concert for the junior high school bands, accompanying Pow Wow, this year's musical Grease, and the Orchesis dance show have been some of their accomplishments. The dynamic jumpy music that the football and basketball fans listen to at half time is played by the Marching band, which consists of students from Concert band and Intermediate band. Both Marching and Concert bands practice on their band class time. Over ninety percent of the band students take private lessons on their own time. The band teaches individual musicians how to participate in a group fashion. Marla Friend, the Band Board President, expresses her feelings about the band, "(feel it's a fantastic experience for anyone and the kids are fantastic to work with.

Sucherman / 66 BAND / �************ ************ ' / What type of music is entertaining, great to dance to, and fun to play? If your answer is jazz music, you' re correct. Our school jazz band has allowed many people to enjoy jazz throughout the school year. The band has performed at various school functions such as basketball games and open house for parents and has accompanied Orchesis on tour. Many times, the band has played by requests at various places in the community such as nursing homes. Band students rehearse three days a week which gives them a chance to read and study their music. Frequent rehearsals provide the variation of interpretation in their lively concerts. Anyone who can expertly play a jazz instrument such as the saxophone, guitar, and trumpet, can join the band. Mr. Groeling, who has been sponsor of the jazz band for several years, comments, " I think, basically, that jazz is a very significant art of music, and schools recognize this fact, offering students the chance to play in jazz style and learn jazz literature."

The Orchestra has had a very busy schedule to follow. In November, the string orchestra had its first concert of the season. The music performed ranged all the way from the Baroque to the Romantic period. In December, the full orchestra combined with the band and the choral groups for a Christmas festival. The Orchestra also played for the Wizard of Oz production and the Orchesis Dance Company. The May Spring Festival also featured the orchestra. Some Ochestra members competed in a number of competitions. The IMEA, Illinois Music Educators Association, is one such competition. This year, thirty-nine schools competed, and only the top musicians from each school were allowed to partipate. Eight members of our orchestra qualified for this competition. The IHSA, Illinois High School Association, is another competition in which Orchestra participates. IHSA regularly features solo competition, as well as quartets and other ensembles. Those musicians who placed n the District Orchestra participated in the All-State Orchestra, which was held in Springfield on February 4-7. The higher ranked muscians from each district were selected to play with the students from every other district in the state.

Q ut of all the clubs, "the leaders are probably the least recognized, yet they are greatly appreciated by the Physical Education staff," commented Miss Heeren when asked about the program. Leaders are a group of talented and hardworking sophomores, juniors, and seniors who help out during P.E. classes. Besides leading exercises, and demonstreating techniques in the classes they "lead", the leaders also attend a daily gym class made up of only leaders. This policy is very time consuming and in order to lessen the time commitment, "We evaluated our strengths and weaknesses last spring; this year's juniors and seniors came up with new ideas that we were able to implement," added Miss Heeren. One of the results was a policy which gave the girls a six weeks break in their regular leaders class; the girls were happy with this change. Senior Margaret Luncsford commented, "Having a free period instead of the normal class made it easier to be enthusiastic in the class you lead for. You could concentrate your efforts on one class instead of two." When asked why she was a leader, junior Geri Masterton replied, "I like teaching others and helping them to learn, it's rewarding." With the mod scheduling, there was some question as to whether the program could still exist. Fortunately, scheduling changes were made to accomodate the Leaders, and Niles West is lucky to have the help and spirit the Leaders prov'ide. 70 LEADERS ***· Above, top left: Judy Price, Chris Coclanis, Patty Wei, Michelle Jaskolka, Lynn Paustian, Joyce Zeinfeld, Diann Doppelt, Barb Buckley, Lea Marinakis, Kelli Porcaro, Anne Helestrae, Sue Klemn.

For each assembly they serve, two students volunteer to help out; that's just one way the Technical Service Club members accomplish their main goal: satisfying all their clients. **** A !though previous Guard Clubs have been more tightly organized many people deserve credit for the time and help, which current clubs have been given . The group consisted of people who taught grade schoolers and preschoolers how to swim on Saturday mornings. Guard Club was largely made up of the girls and boys swim teams. All who participated proved to be very cooperative; The guys kept track of records and timed for the girls during their season, as the girls did for them during the wi nter.

If you join the Ushers' Club, sponsored by Mrs. Klinger, you can do just that. Members of the Ushers' Club pass out programs for the performances, and they are also responsible for seating individuals who may be looking for a seat. After the show has started, however, they may go in and watch the show themselves. Marianne Hathy, who ushered for this year's first dramatic production, Pow-Wow, stated, " Ushering for Pow-Wow was fun because I was able to meet people of all age groups." President of the Ushers' Club, Robin Glassner, stated, "It's a really fun club because it doesn't meet regularly, so it doesn't take up a lot of your time. We just meet once before each event to decide who 'works' on what night. Ushering is fun because you come in contact with a lot of people, and it's a great way to help them and still be able to enjoy the show yourself. I'm glad I joined!" Betty Dassow has this to say about ushering for the children's play: "Wearing the costumes for the Wizard of Oz was fun. We dressed up as animals, and all the kids loved it when they got to shake our hands." WEST WORD, USHERS 81 �82 The Competition ��Seini-Tough f ollowing success in a summer passing league, the 1981 Varsity Football squad entered summer practices with great expectations for the upcoming season. However, injuries and inconsistencies plagued the tribe throughout their 2-7 campaign. In the opening contest the Indians continually battled back from adversity before dropping a thriller to highly touted Aurora East 29-21. The team did not recover from the opening contest until the fourth ballgame of the season when they defeated Highland Park 21-15 before an enthusiastic homecoming crowd. The only other Indian victory was a 35-6 thrashing of the Maine West Warriors in the final ballgame of the season. - Front row: K. Lecomte, L. Asher, F. Stokes, J. Perperas, C. Huff, M. Mandel, A.

FRESHMAN FOOTBALL 87 �Vlctory £ xpectations were high as the Soccer Season began. The six returning lettermen and former J.V. players knew it was their turn for a run at the state title. As freshmen, this group of seniors was undefeated. Three years later, being older and more experienced, the team gave Coach Brennan high hopes. After the first ten games, the team had lost only once. It looked as if Brennan's "dreams" might come true. The strikers then faced the second ranked team in the state, New Trier. Although the Indians dominated the game and had numerous scoring opportunities, they were shut out. This loss caused a late season slump. The team won only two of their last six games and were eliminated from the state tournament in the sub-sectional final. The highlight of the season was a tie with state finalist Glenbrook North. The Indians were the only team to shut out the Spartans all season. Next year, Brennan has to do some major rebuilding. The replacement of Top row: Coach Schnurr,]. Lochner, A. Melnick, B.

During their sophomore year, they won only one game. This season their 5-5-1 record shows the results of hard work. Timely goals by S. Harris and strong midfield play by V. Stamos gave the team stability. Confidence was another factor which helped this group of juniors. They were never blown-out; they were almost always assured of at least two goals a game. Team speed is lacking, but next season improved ball skills should make the Indians very competitive. Scoreboard NW NW NW NW NW NW NW NW NW NW NW NW NW NW NW NW NW Top row; D. Farkas, J. Degroot, G.

Four of the team members (Laura Friedlander, Jenny Weiss, Robin Telengater and Jennie Campbell) made the 1981 All-Conference team by placing in the top 14. They won all but one invitational, including their host meet the 24 school Indian Invite. They won districts very easily, advancing them to Sectionals (the firs t year for Girl's Cross Country). Sectionals was a tough meet, but once again Niles West pulled through. For the second time W est was State bound. The teams goal was reached on November 14, 1981. The Girls placed third out of 24 teams there. Coach Sloan comments on their victory, " Everyone ran the best way that they possibly could, and that, ultimately, was the goal we wanted to achieve at the State meet. The season wa s near-perfect.

There were five freshmens that stuck out the whole season. They are: Cindy Bychowski, Kris Mittl, Rose Miklaj, Hyo Sil Park and Lisa Reiff. These five girls kept the spirit, of the whole team, going strong. They all tried very hard. Cindy Bychowski was a great asset to the varsity team. She ran in two very important meets helping the varsity secure victories. During the first half of the season the girls ran their races independently, but towards the end of the season they learned to run as a team. They tied for 2nd with Maine West in the J.V. Conference meet. Their accomplishments were tremendous during this first year, considering their lack of experience.

The varsity squad had a record of 4 wins and 8 losses. This record sounds disappointing but, in reality, the season was a great success. The team won more matches than any golf squad in recent Niles West history. Junior Peter Joseph paced the team with support from seniors Mike Platt, Tom Rivkin and team captain Rob Moreton. The highlight of the season was the defeat of Evanston. In this match the Indians set a new course record at the Evanston Community Golf Course. Overall Coach Dennis Hoeppner was very pleased with this season's results. The Frosh-Soph golf team is building for next year. The Team's 3 wins and 8 losses does not reflect the team's improvement. Steve Kanavos was the team's top golfer. Though he will be on the varsity squad next year, freshman Larry Rivkin and Jeff Krakow will return to form a strong nucleus for the frosh-soph squad.

BOWLING 103 �One On One Under first year head coach Emil Capitani, the boy's varsity basketball team did not enjoy a winning season. Coming into the season with high hopes because they were returning to starters from last year's varsity squad in Jack Cohen and Mike Grunfeld, the Indians started off on the wrong foot and never got retracked. Grunfeld played beyond all expectations averaging 17 points a game and was named all-conference. Cohen started the first game but fractured his wrist and was unable to return for the rest of the season. The team finished last in the Central Suburban League South Conference with a disappointing 3-21 record. 'The squad played well against toprated teams but we could not pull off any big upsets," said Coach Capitani. "Our lack of overwhelming height and speed were two major reasons we did not fare well," cited Tom Kostoglanis. The whole team agreed that the loss of Cohen was a major factor in the outcome of the season. Top row L. to R; Trainer Brian Katzman, Coach Ki esel, M. Grunfeld , G. Johnson , B. D aehler, T.

BASKETBALL lOS �Inside Moves A major shake-up took place this past season in the Niles West basketball program. The coaching staffs were changed at almost all the levels. The Sophomore Team was no exception. Coach Larry Miner was moved up from the Frosh " A" to the sophomore team. The majority of last year's Frosh "A" team played at the sophomore level this past season. These players received a second year of Coach Miner's fine, but demanding, coaching style. The results of the past season were not very impressive. The team's record was 4 wins and 14 losses, which placed them last in conference. A few of the bright spots on the team were, Joe Rodgers, Steve Roggeman, and Bill Terpinas. These players best exemplified Coach Miner's dedication to hard work. Next season a few of the boys will be moved up to Varsity Team where some major rebuilding is required. A summer league and basketball camps will help the Sophomores improve the skills that they have. Overall, Coach Top row, L. to R.; J. Koudounis, S. Roggeman, S. Manzara, Coach Lefty Minor.

During the season they compiled a record of 4 wins and 10 losses. Co-Captains, were Jim Krozel, who specialized in backstroke, and Dennis Urow. Coach Larson stated "The biggest problem was the loss of 10 seniors who could not be replaced. The freshman team did very well this year, and this will pay off in the long run." Both coaches agreed that there was a monumental improvement on all levels. Times were decreased and goals were met. Outstanding varsity swimmers include Andy Benbow, Pat Blackaller and Jim Krozel.

Coached for the fourth straight year by Gene Earl they have relied on many successful strategies used in the past. Of these, the "diamond and one" press has been especially effective in forcing turnovers and creating many lay ups. Despite the lack of height on the team, they rebounded extremely well against taller opponents. They defeated one such team, Maine West, in an intense game which turned out to be one of the highlights of the season. This victory gave Earl's girls an idea of what they were capable of achieving. Intensity was the key through the season; the team worked hard to improve what they felt were their weaknesses. Coach Earl wished to add that, as coach, "he was most happy to work with such a nice and happy group of young players. Hopefully they will have gained many great memories and learned some values that will help them in the future.

WRESTIING �The freshmen newcomers were also swept up in the arms of victory, having only one defeat, that being to Maine West. This success was mostly due to the "feeder" programs at local junior high schools, where incoming freshmen get a head start on wrestling. Coach Porter states, "Other top high schools such as Maine West have had such programs for years, but only recently has such a program developed in Niles Township." Our wrestling team can expect success throughout the eighties, thanks to the "weasel" wrestling program. Top row: Coach Porter, D. Lasky, D. Kolber, S. Brabec, B. Kormit, M. King, R. Gerstein, K.

Never did we look back and wish it was different. We took the hand that fate had dealt us and turned a loser into a winner, comments Coach Burkel on the girl's Gymnastic Team. The team had injury after injury, but that didn't stop them from still trying their hardest. They started out with 97 points at· their first meet. Their goal was to reach 110 points by the end of the season to hopefully qualify them for state. Their scores began to move up until injuries took over. Co-Captain Margaret Luncsford twisted her ankle and a few points dropped. Within two weeks though she was back with padding on her feet and the points started to move up again. But before the team had a chance to really show their stuff two more tragic injuries fell upon them. Jacqueline Plonus broke a small bone and damaged ligaments in her ankle, while Co-Captain Chris Canton tore a cartilage in her knee.

Despite the team's disastorous fate, the girls never gave up. There were some good moments shining through the bad. Some of those were M. Luncsford achieving her highest AllAround score ever, which was an 8.6. Another exciting moment was when the team finished 2nd place at the Rolling Meadows Invite. The girls who were able to compete gave 100% all the way until the end and the unfortunate injured girls never stopped encouraging their teammates. They all deserve 110 points!

Their routines were as polished as their grades in their classes. Their hard work at practice was rewarded with win after win. Their leader, Peggy Thill blazed the trail with scores in the 8' s meet after meet. Dawn Diesing was never far behind with her high scoring routines, nor were K. McKeon, K. Nelson, H . Park, N.

Daehler, A. Lucas, S. Hughes. After ending their first year as a varsity sport with an equal number of wins and losses, the Niles West Girls Soccer Team looked forward to improving their record this season. In order to accomplish this, the girls worked hard during the off season to improve their ball control and overall ability. Because most of the girls were returning members of the varsity squad, the team was experienced and showed good perception on the field. Some of the tougher opponents were Lake Forest and Evanston, both of which were the only teams the girls lost to last season. The team was coached for the second year in a row by Joe Brennan at the varsity level, and Lee Heeren at the Junior varsity level. Coach Brennen, who helped the team attain varsity status during the beginning stages commented, "I've never been associated with a group of athletes who have picked up a sport so fast and so well in such a short period of time. After only two seasons as a varsity team, with our skill and spirit, we have pretty much set the standard for girl's soccer in Illinois." Hopefully, with a strong nucleus of underclassmen on the JV team returning next year, girls soccer at Niles West will have continued success in the future. Top: H. Gabriel, E. Leberis, J. Valenti, J.

BOYS GYMNASTICS 123 �Personal Best The girls track team coached by Mrs. Armour (head coach), Mr. Armour (distance coach), Mrs. Nebbia Oumper's coach), and Miss Hallberg (thrower's coach) had quite a successful season. It was a long season starting in the middle of January and ending at the beginning of May. During the cold weather of January, February, and March the girls mostly worked out in the Niles West hallways and at the Niles East indoor track. A couple days a week the team would put on their long johns, sweatshirts, and jackets and challenge the fierce colds and winds of winter. Once the weather warmed up a bit the girls started to run outside on the newly resurfaced track. There were thirty-one girls out for the team, which more than half were returning upperclassmen. Mrs. Armour comments on the talent of the team, "In terms of our team the strong talent was in distance (800m to 2mile), throwers, jumpers and hurdlers. The sprinters were a little weak, especially in the beginning, but developed their Bottom: E. Boudouvas, D. Abelkes, K. Hendley, D. Lipsky, M. Snyder, M. Jarosz, P. O 'Boyle, T. Uglinica, K.

Some of the standout athletes on the team were Margaret Luncsford in the hurdles, Michaelyn Jarosz in the shnt put, Patty O'Boyle in the high jump, and four of the distance runners consisting of Laura Friedlander, Robin Telengater, Sue Rosenblum, and Jennie Campbell. Evanston as usual was the teams toughest competitors in the CSL League. Mrs. (coach) Armour sums it all up, "The kids were pleasant individuals to work with and very coachable.

SPORTS CANDIDS 127 �Bad News Bears During his second year as head coach George Galla made extensive changes in the Niles West Baseball program. He installed a scoreboard and fenced in the entire playing field. This gave the team a more professional atmosphere and they played with an enthusiasm unequalled in recent years. Keys to this years success were the pitching of Danny Sugar and the overall good play of the starters. Mitch Stern and Sugar let the team in hitting and were the leaders of the Tribe. Juniors Mike Dahm, Cory Binstock, and Peter Joseph saw some action this year with Dahm playing shortstop and Binstock and Joseph on the mound.

With supporting help from seniors Scott Margolin, Bruce Sandlow, and Lou Gross the team exceeded all expectations. Len Go added, "the team had a very enthusiastic atmosphere about them and this helped us enjoy our season." Coaches Pat Savage and Ron Cambell added their knowledge to this year's team which also included many underclassmen competing on the varsity squad for the first time.

The clothing craze around Niles West this year was the proclaimed "surgeon shirts." "I like the ones with blood on them," declares Slick Sammy Lobue. The reason for the success of these shirts is due to the television show M"" A ""S""H. This show has set many new clothing trends. Anything from camouflage to khaki is in. Students who used to wear proper attire to school do not anymore. The proper attire has been replaced by sweat pants and surgeon shirts. These v-neck shirts come in green, white, and blue. They are made from 100% pure cotton, and have a convenient pocket on the front of the shirt, and one on the inside also. Just as Mother Nature does not like to be fooled by Chiffon Margarine, students do not like to be fooled by phony store-bought surgeon shirts. Students pay top dollar for a shirt that has actually been worn by a surgeon. If it is not paid for, it is taken right off the doctor's back while he is in surgery. Scott Rudin states, "Every time I put my surgeon shirt on, I remember being slapped on my behind by the stork." Preppy Al Levey adds, "Like, they're real comfortable while I'm cruisin." Mark Jacobs remarks, "When I'm in mid air on the rings, there is nothing like having that precious shirt on my back." Every year it is a guess what the clothing craze will be next year. Who knows, maybe next year, the nurses uniform will be "in!" staff reporter Laura Woodfield Rozanne Collucci Joan Conrad Chris Canton Jim Cortez Steve Cote Patti Coyne Vito Cozza Julie Cristante Debbie Crown Bill Daehler Shirley Daniel * �Below: Senior, Jenny Weiss.

Well, the metallic craze has struck Niles West!!! Everywhere you look you see reflections on belts, shoes, pants, shirts and even purses. Why are these clothes so popular????? Tom Lynn, a senior, said, "I think the metallic clothes are for other people, but not for me; they can have them!" Keith Gross, also a senior, thinks the new style is "ridiculously stupid," and it makes him sick. Obviously some of the opinions aren't too positive, but when asked, Pam Sloma said that she thought the change was "nice". "I think that if people wore them right, the new look would be great!" The new look is obviously popular because: 1) it's advertised all over as being the new fad, 2) everyone is wearing it and 3) it sure is different, and there are a lot of people who want a change. "How long will the metallic craze last?" Well, as long as people want it to. If everyone continues to wear these eye-catching clothes then this fad will live on. If the majority decides it's not "the thing" anymore, then maybe our High School fad will die. Phyllis Erdman Dan Ericsson Annette Erlebacher Ero!

Addiction eneral Hospital. These two words may seem very simple, om just talk to one of the most popular soap opera's 15 million fans. You will discover that in reality these words are very complex. "GH"-as its fans fondly call it-attracts many teenage viewers. High school and college students watch the story unfold on their t.v. sets with great interest. The two main characters on the show had been Luke (Tony Geary) and Laura (Genie Francis). Before Genie Francis left "GH" in January, the couple was loved by all fans. They lived through adventures such as stopping the mob in the fictional town of "Port Charles, N.Y." Also, the pair stopped a madman from destroying the world by freezing it. Though the plots may seem far-fetched, loyal viewers love all the intricate twists. Some of these viewers are famous. For example, Elizabeth Taylor appeared on the program for one week in November. She was present at Luke and Laura's wedding, the biggest soap opera event ever. In the few months before this event the couple appeared on the covers of such maga- zines as Newsweek, People, and Us. These two characters had dominated the show for three years. There are other characters on the program, but none with the following of Luke and Laura. Most of the others are doctors, nurses or lawyers. One doctor is played by Rick Springfield who also has a successful music career. Besides Rick Springfield's music, there is also a song titled "General Hospi-tale" on the market. It is a summary of the stories from the early summer of 1981. The song is one of the many products that ABC authorizes. There are scrub shirts, T-shirts, buttons, mugs and many other items with the "GH" insignia. "General Hospital" is truly a media phenomenon. If you want to get caught up in this whirlwind, tune in every weekday, from 2:00-3:00 on channel 7. Be careful-it's addictive. reporter Bonnie Kanter Scott Goldman Karin Goldstein Matt Goren Tony Gorham Sherri Gostomelsky Robin Grais Anne Green Cheryl Greene Keith· Gross Louis Gross Michele Gross * �0:...umtt of >.-b ..a,., --------_ .... ----··--"'..-· ..t-.,... i:&.. - - Top: What's more important to Tom Weiss then Niles West spirit?

This is because of the great population of Niles West students, especially seniors, that continue to wear sweatshirts, T-shirts, and sweatpants with college logos printed across their chests, and in many cases, their behinds. Every weekend, many Niles West students flock down to the University of Illinois, Indiana University, and University of Iowa and buy out the towns' local bookstores to fill up their so-called "empty closets" at home. This habit can get extremely expensive, but as senior Amy Gold says, "The sweatpants and sweatshirts are worth every penny.' Most of the apparel comes from the Midwestern schools, as many Niles West students' older brothers and sisters attend these schools and bring wearable presents home. One avid college sweatsuit collector is Roz Nagrodess who says, "I love to wear this stuff because it's so comfortable and now that I'm a senior, I don't have to worry about how I dress- I have no one to impress." So next time you're walking down the ·hall, take notice of this popular craze and try to figure out if you really are at Niles West. staff reporter Lisa Freed Art Zygmun checks out the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

They've gone through it all. More important changes are the new modular system and closed halls. Here are some of the things the seniors have to say on some of these topics. Steve Wilensky thinks, "When Niles East closed, most of the people didn't think the transition would be good. We all thought we wouldn't be welcome. Well, I think I can speak for everyone from East in saying this was a great two years!" In addition, Amy Gold says, "We're all happy that Niles East joined West!!" The changing of the Student Lounge into a study hall did not go unnoticed. "The closing of the Student Lounge was the killer just because it meant so much to people," states senior Nadine Shetler. The new modular system, having twenty-nine 15-minute mods, brought many mixed emotions. Anne Stuermer says, "The new mod system was confusing for most people at first, but everyone got used to it quickly." Garry Benjoya has an additional comment: "Although the mods seem to make the day go by faster, I liked the old schedule better." All in all, it seems as though these changes hive been made for the better. Seniors not only seem to be adjusting to these changes, but are actually happy with some of them. So anytime there's a change in the everyday routine at West, don't put it down until you get a chance to experience it. staff reporters Deedee Lippe Staci Munic �Don Lewandowski Ken Liano Marci Lichter Marvie Limpin Sue Liou Diana Lipsky Ross Lirtzman ..

Other Jelly Bellies taste like beverages: coffee, pina-colada, cream soda, and senior Marilyn Moltz's "favorite," island punch. Students at West had choices from coconut to peanut butter and in between they found bubble gum, spearmint, licorice, chocolate-banana, cinnamon, and good old American cotton candy. Sound good? They are-but like many good things, there is a price to pay.

Such is the case of Girls' Cross-Country and Girls' Swimming, which both had successful seasons. Girls participating in these sports must devote themselves completely, like any other sport, but these sports require a little extra due to the lack of support. They practice long hours, yet hear no one cheering for them at their meets. The only ones that know how well they've done are the coaches, other team members, and the athletes themselves. Senior Barb Buckley, i.'ember of the swim team, stated, " ! don't think people realize how much tirr.e we put into improving ourselves. It seems like they look down on us; they don't give us much encouragement. Our improvements show nothing of the support people have given us." The swim team had a much better season than last year, with many individual records broken. Junior Susie Rosenblum, a member of the cross-country team commented, "The school should give more recognition for cross-country by having fan buses to the big meets, and to the state meet with the team. Holding pep rallies is a good way to show support for state bound teams." The cross-country team had a victorious season, winning the conference and district championships and qualifying for the state meet. Jenny Weiss, senior co-captain of the cross-country team said, "Most people don't consider cross-country to be a spectator sport. But usually when a person does attend a meet, they can almost experience for themselves the emotional intensity of the runners. You can sense the competition, the pain, and the striving for a goal that is less obvious than other sports." In conclusion, the cross-country and swim teams have worked hard all season without getting the honor and glory that they deserved. staff reporter Lori Dethloff Valery Daniel David Farkas Aron Feinberg David Fickert Matthew Filippini Phillip Daus Lynn Davis Do n Dawis Alan Dayan William Decker Joel Fink Marci Firfer Mike Disch Richard Doroba Kurt D rath Brya n D ubin Julie Disselhorst Dorothy Patty Doles D uebner Caryn Eberhart Steve Diamond Steve Dorfman Mike Ehlers Jodi Eisenberg Alex Engels Robert Epperson Richard Erens Michelle Deering John Degroot Christopher Delgado Beth Desnet Lisa Decook Jeff Deer 186 JUNIORS Seth Erlebacher Kathy Erpelding Maurice Estrada Brad Evans Marc Falleroni Sue Fang �Rosanne Friedman Julie Frishman Paul Greenspan Vicki Greenstein Helena Gabriel David Fritzshall Michelle Janice Gajdek Joey Gan Cynthia Gotfryd Gorehow Alex Govis Elizabeth Grass Michael Gentile Holly Gershanov David Gershbein Deanna Geberson Jeff Gilbert Lori Fleck Larry Fogel Richard Frankel Lisa Freed Lori Freed Dan ny Freedman Marci Gintzler Mitchell Gitelman Michael Glick Charles Goldberg Darrell Goldberg Gary Goldenberg Anthony Coldish Rhonda Goldstein Ted Goodman Lisa Coone Barb Groeling Paul Grosse Natalie Gunchick Glenn Guttman Martha Ha Michelle Haddon Left: Randi Levinson, the mad "flasher" strikes again.

And the enthusiasum for the Sting was present among Niles West students, too. This past year, the Chicago Sting reached the highest point of popularity. Over thirty thousand fans showed up at Cominsky Park for almost every game. Most of the fans in the past have been from countries where soccer is the national sport. But Americans, including people at West, are beginning to catch up with the craze. The positive spirit towards the Sting has been shown by Sting t-shirts, hats, banners, and buttons that have been popping up at West. Jeff Wilfong commented, " I've never seen so many black and yellow Sting hats in my life." Our enthusiasum for the team has not diminished, as proven by the continuing Sting popularity. Jeff concluded, "I will never go to bed without my Sting hat ... and my teddy bear." staff reporter Laura Woodfield Susan Kang Lori Laratro Mark Kapelanski Kim Kasnick Mike Kaufman Dale Larson Norman Larson Debbie Laser William Kaufman Julie Kellman April Lasky Elisa l eberis Dale Klemenz Cary Kochman Ayumi Kodama Megumi Kodama Walter Koenig Mike Korey Steve Korol Dimitra Kotsinonos Floyd Kozak Lisa Kozokar Susan Krause Elliot Kravetz Jan Kreher Bill Kruzel Khin Kung Susan Kim David Kewith Eva Kim Tom La Belle Ki KiJTI Cary Klein Steven Klein Mark Lamanna Diane Laborde Dolly Lal Abby Lando Michael Lanski JUNIORS 189 �Below: Barry Levin walks up the stairs with all his friends.

Where were all the study halls going to be held? Certainly the 309 study hall wouldn' t accomodat1 the many study hall students. They solved the problem by turning the old student lounge into three study areas, by adding a wall. And it is within these walls that the study halls are held. Study halls can be looked at in two ways. Either they are helpful and necessary, or they are unnecessary and harmful. Some believe that study hall give students an opportunity to study for a test or catch up on homework neglected the night before. This is especially true for morning study halls. But, for those that have a study hall at the end of the day, this can pose a problem. This time could be takign away from afterschool activities, like sports, clubs, or afterschool jobs. Julie Keller says, "Study halls are helpful to me when I have homework, but when I don' t, I think they are a waste of time." Also, two mod study halls require students to stay in the room, as opposed to three mod study halls that let students go to the library. This causes problems for students with more than one study who may have completed all their homework. "Study halls can be a good place to work, if you have homework, but otherwise, they are a waste of time," junior Helena Gabriel concluded, " but I always find something to do, whether homework, or just catching up on my AP U.S. History reading." staff reporters Lauri Bal hirer Michele Gross Adele Rose Debbie Rose Barb Shedroff Marc Shellist Kathy Shield Frances Rosen Bennett Rosenberg Carla Rosenblum Jay Silverman Sheldon Silverman Ted Simmons Sue Rosenblum Martin Savitt Kathy Sander Dan Samet Lee Schaps Lynn Schildgen Andrea Rubiano Sari Rubin Judy Ru,ch Tom Russo Hope Ross Kevin Ross Lisa Schmetter Linda Schmidt Pete Schnaitmann Sharon Schneider Sandra Schreier Ross Schreiter Cindy Schwartz Elissa Schwartz Karen Schwartz David Schwarz David Seff Arthur Seiman Nina Serlin Lisa Sesterhenn Lisa Shapiro Bill Shayman JUNIORS 193 �Below: Due to high lunch prices, Alan Smith has resorted to eating his fist, much to Mike Gentile's amusement.

They range from excellent sports programs to fine clubs. Most of the students at West are in favor of the activities. As Kim Lores said, "They let you do things you enjoy with your friends after school." Aaron Melnick expressed similar feelings, "They give you something enjoyable to do after a hard day of school." David Rugendorf favors them also but for different reasons, " Extracurricular activities are conclusive to learning. I feel they should be actively pursued by all students willing to enhance their education." The reason Julie Marnett likes them was quite different from most responses. She said, "They keep you away from the refrigerator." However, a few problems do arise from the activities. The most common of these problems is that they interfere with the student's schoolwork. As Steve Dorfman put it, " I really enjoy participating in the activities, but a lot of times they interfere with my homework." Dave Cedeno had a more extreme case, "When I'm involved in an extracurricular activity, I don't do my homework at all!"

What else could make jogging more comfortable than a good looking pair of running shoes. There are a number of popular brands of jogging shoes that are found on most runners' feet such as: Nike, Brooks, Adidas, New Balance and Converse. When asking several Niles West future marathoners what brand they prefer, their responses were interesting. "Adidas shoes are comfortable, stylish, and come in various models to satisfy a wide variety of runners . They are far superior to their counterpart New Balance," said Jay Zeff. In agreement with Jay, Mike Lee was quoted at saying, "New Balance people just have to face the facts that their shoes really are inferior. Adidas is and always will be #1. No matter what New Balancers say, Adidas is far better." Senior Laura Friedlander certainly doesn't agree and said, " I find that New Balance is the best shoe for me. I uses to run in Brooks but they caused me knee injury. New Balance has the support all distance runners need and they are not extremely expensive." ....

A day consisted of 29 mods commencing with homeroom. Each mod was fifteen m inutes with the last five minutes being a passing period. Classes met for forty minutes and labs for fifty-five minutes. Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors were compelled to be scheduled for at least 300 minutes with a certified teacher. This made students choose between taking extra classes or having study h alls. There was a wide range of comments on the new schedule. Junior Bill Decker called the new schedule "Tyrannical." " I would b e out of school two hours earlier if there wasn' t this three hundred minute rule," Bill commented. Junior Mike W ilson had different views. He said, "This year ot::~1ut::~ gt::mng our or school an hour earlier than previous y ear I had an hour for lunch." Science students h ad mixed emotions on the fifty-five minute period. Senior Larry Kong had these comments of complaint on the new schedule. " In fifty-five minutes it is virtually impossible to carry out a complicated chemistry lab. By the time everything is set up it is almost time to clean up." Junior physics student Marc Falleroni said, "The extra fifteen minutes allowed m y physics class to have more in-depth discussions." staff reporter Steve Miller Mark Sproat Spencer Stern Erica Stone Jerrold Strange James Streiff April Strissel Stacy Strongin Sena Sturgis Dan Sullivan Hsi Yu Sun Amy Sundblom Tom Svrcek Kimberlyn Swerdon Marty Swidler Robert Szumal Christine Taldone Chris Tavoularis George Temes Bill Terpinas Neil Tobin Gilbert Tolentino Cheryl Torres Constantine Trambas Mike T ravlos Jennifer Trefren Kristy Trelford Tony Tripicchio Sam T uzzolino Kelly Tyson Constant Tziavaras Tamara Uglinica Emily Vala Kathy Verstraete Danny Vishny Karine Vlahos Vicki Volkod.av 208 SOPHOMORES �Left to Right: Sophomores fooling around as usual.

Students will now have to face stricter penalties for unexcused absences .. For the first, second, and third unexcused absences in a course, each student will serve one hour of detention (former'!y called B.A.C.) after school. If a student fails to serve the one hour, it will result in full day detention. The fourth and fifth absences will become one and two day detentions . After the next unexcused absence, the course will automatic ally be dropped and the student will be assigned to a study h all. This new rule also pertains to excessive absences. If a student accumulat es a total of thirteen absences within one semester, he may be sent to an "Attendan ce Review Board." "Jlhere is also a new system of "modified excuses." These are excuses that pertain to vacations, medical appointme nts, and college visits and are limited to five per semester. staff reporter George Pappas New Pol icy Towards Abs ente es In Effect Barry Curvey Sun Ha Nadine Hanson Lisa Hathy W illiam Hayes Matthew Hedrich William Heelan Sherri Heeres Judy Hegedus Anton Hehn Susan Heinz Diana Hellestrae John Hennessy Denise Herman Ron Hirsch Tiiii.othy Hoeft M artina Hoeller Randy Hoelzel Michael Horowitz Julie Huber Mabel Hurtado Alam Husain Michael Jacobs Amin Jahlah FRESHMEN 215 �Keith Jem berg Kelly Ji Cyndi Johanson Kevin Johanson Nancy Johanson Lynda Jutovsky Carolyn Kadota Michelle Kalo Ron Kaluzna Barrie Kane Tony Kang Lori Kaplan Andrew Karrotias Anna Karalis Barbara Kassel Julie Keller Maria Kikes Bonnie Kim Catherine Kim David Kim Han Song Kim Lili Kornhauser hams it up for the photographer while Robert Gershbein plays camera shy.

"St~ipes was considered by many to be a male version of one of last year's comedy hits, " Private Benjamin," with Bill Murray being the male counterpart of Goldie Hawn. However, possibly the greatest significance 9f the movie was the success of former Saturday Night Live member, Bill Murray. Murray's success was comp.a rable to fellow Saturday Night Live alumni which include John Belushi, Dan Ackroyd, and Chevy Chase. "Superman II" was one of the few sequels that was as good as, if not better than the original. Like all Superman stories, it was once again the tale of good overcoming evil, with Christopher Reeves once again playing Superman, and Margot Kidder playing Lois Lane. However, in thi s movie, Superman had his greatest obstacles to overcome. He was matched against three super villians who each had super powers equal to his own. Although Superman seemed greatly outmatched, in the end he overcame the odds by simply outsmarting his opponents. " Raider of the Lost Ark" was one of the few old-fashioned, adventure movies to obtain success in some time. The movie's success could be attributed to the fact that unlike many other adventure movies, " Raiders of the Lost Ark" could not be taken seriously. It had its suspenseful and thrilling moments like any adventure movie, but it also had an added touch of humor spread throughout the story that allowed for the movie to be light and entertaining, yet still exciting. Senior Mike Sathy who had the good fortune to see all three movies said it best by saying, " All three movies were excellent, each in their own way." After being pressed further with, some difficulty Mike chose "Stripes" as the best of the bunch. staff reporter David Warso Brian Wozniak Frank Yakoubek Nancy Yanaguchi Karen Yashon Sucra Yaybulak Judy Yedlin Catherine Yi John Yi Frank Youka na Un Young Yu Damir Zagorscak Karen Zelickman Daniel Zimmerman Marla Zissman Nihad Zomot Deanne Zych Sari Rubin FRESHMEN 221 �222 ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN/ WOMEN ���~~-:~-.._ . ,..,. -~,.~ '~-,~~·~' �����������������������; :o:&~ f' ..... ,.-~ l ,, ~,r,. ������������������266 THE END ��A111erican Gra.f fiti ., 0.:·1 -t\\ree.

The collaboration of all cast and crew members is shown in each and every film sequence. Assistant editor and photography editor Jodi Stone has come back for one more appearanc~ to put a first rate ef- · fort into the job. The cinematography captures the true meaning of the film and was clearly in focus. Recognition · goes to leading characters in their .roles: Mark Witt, Sports; Jenny Weiss, Clubs; and Maria Leberis, Faculty. Others are: Karen Schwartz, camera. staff takes a well deserved break to pose for the .. Special Events; Lisa Shapiro, Juniors; Tami Weitzman, Sophomores; Linda Friedman, Freshmen; and Marilyn Moltz, Seniors. Special commendations should be awarded to those who truly made work on the movie easier and more fun for the director, Tracey Miller. These people are Leonard Go, Tom Weiss, Gregg Arenson, . Ray Chao, Laura Friedlander, and Rich Miller. Without their dedication and hard work, the release of the movie may have been delayed. Together, the stars of Spectrum '82 have made a superb and interesting movie that they should all be proud of, and which may ·make a sweep of all the Academy Awards. �News short The people behind the ;;tage lights de se rve some praise from the reviewers. Head script consultants Jerome Orr and Angela G raham have had a hand in every segment of the film. Their opinions which stem from previous film work have been a much needed addition. Extra help came from Richard Antes and Marge Phillippe. The main technician , Dennis Edar should be honored, for without his knowledge of the movie industry, the movie would not be possible. If it wasn't for all these backstage people, Spectrum '82 would still be on the cutting room floor. .,, Section editors Tami Weitzman, Karen Schwartz and Lisa Shapiro, join in the fun at a yearbook party during the year. Editor Tracey Miller works to produce an Academy Award winner.

Dispersed in activities ranging from A. F.S. to aeronautics, individuals combined efforts and ideals necessary in reaching their goals with pride. The addition of 600 students and faculty members from Niles East helped make the '80-' 81 year anything but ordinary. The vast array of people brought new ideas, friendships, and, most of all, lots of fun. The mesh of students taught the meaning of cooperation and valuable teamwork. Together, we shared West's sweet success. While the world's concerns were focused on the presedential campaign, inflation, and the hostages in Iran, Niles West students shared worrries of electing a homecoming king and queen, paying $45.00 for Calvin Kleins, and serving time in the B.A.C. With a blend of diversity and originality, the people at West comprised a student body worth looking out for. .. 4 Lookout �Clockwise Bob Strauss blocks a shot, and Coach Brennan looks on with approval.

"Anything goes" was the attitude for expressing enthusiasm for our school. While sorrie spent evenings stalking athletes' homes armed with rolls of toilet paper for the traditional "teepeeing", others remained content with selling fundraising candy or decorating lockers. The band, cheerleaders, porn pon girls, and various team members created an atmosphere which encouraged even the most timid of fans to cheer the red and white machine on to victory. School spirit was depicted throughout the student body with Indian t-shirts, club jackets, buttons, porn pons, team hats, and various other paraphernalia dashed with red and white. Students quickly learned that exhibiting Indian spirit left the true fan with a heaping dosage of pride and loyalty for Niles West. 8 Spirit �Clockwise Band members relax after picking poppies.

The Indians only touchdown was scored by senior Mike Froemming with a minute left in the game, and the unhappy final score was 21 - 6.

Creativity and self expression through dance were among the goals of this year's troupe. Dedicated members were busy several nights a week from September through May, pursuing the art of dance. Due to the increased interest in the club, Orchesis divided into senior and junior members. This gave more girls a chance to participate. Orchesis began their year with a jazz demonstration at Open House. This served as a stepping stone to the culmination of their hard work, their annual dance show "Steppin' Out" in February. Afterwards they were occupied with dancing in benefits and at junior highs. The exciting year ended with the girls' teaming up with t he band and orchestra to travel to New Orleans for the annual tour. There, the company dazzled the crowds with their snappy steps while the band and orchestra accompanied them. President Yvonne Johanson, Vice-President Heather Joseph, Secretary Jamie Zucker, and Treasurer Joyce Chams, along with their highly talented sponsor, Ms. Gail Lukasik, helped organize the group to work together and plan fund-raisers and other successful projects.

The Club had four officers this year- Lynn Kagehiro as president, Jody Robbins as vice president, Robin Glassner as treasurer, and Paul Wilm as secretary. Students who enroll in DECA gain knowledge in the art of retailing. Participating in competition as a club allows the members to utilize the fundamentals acquired in the daily Distributive Education Class. One of the most important gifts that one human being can give to another is the gift of compassion. Because ours is an individualistic and competitive society, we sometimes ignore the needs of others. The Key Club program allows people to work with those less fortunate than themselves. By coming in contact with those who can't walk, talk or see we realize how lucky we are. Key Club's purpose is to help others, and in that pursuit the greatest satisfaction is found. This gift of caring will remain with club members for a long time. Key Club is meaningful because it represents idealism put into practice.

The cheerleaders provided the moral support necessary to any athletic team effort. Their spirited yells and sensational mounts produced excitement to keep the crowd interested in even the most predictable game. For the varsity squads advice was offered by Miss Pat Wahlstrom. Mrs. Barbara Chausow and Mrs. Marian Jaeschke lent their assistance to the sophomore and freshman squads. Halftime would not be half as enjoyable without the pom-pon girls performing one of their eye-opening, show stopping routines. The time and effort these girls put into daily practices was fully appreciated by fans at every pep assembly, football, and basketball competition throughout the year. Guidance for the squad was given by Miss Sharon Corombos. ' Standing: Jamie Zucker, Michelle Dodd, Jane Heinz, Janet Weiss, Kris Youstra, Merilee Slipinka, Linda Weiss.

The students kept lane times, worked the recall ropes, announced the events, worked the kyroscope, and kept score. The club is sponsored by Miss Geri Nash; its club officers included Michelle Dolce, President, Pam Smith, Vice-President, Linda Bernheim, Secretary, and Gretchen Edwards, Treasurer. N-Club prided itself in promoting the image of good sportsmanship, fellowship and school spirit. To be eligible for consideration by N-Club, athletes must earn their major "N". Letters are awarded to outstanding athletes competing on the varsity level. Photo Club is a group of students who share the common interest of taking and developing photographs. One of their most recent projects is a West-campus photomural for the Administrative wing of the school. Member Tom Weiss recalls, "The Photo Club gave me the chance to work in a darkroom for the first time and learn the process of developing pictures." The club's sponsor is Mr. Gary Davis. Art Council is a club which gives interested, art-oriented students time to express their creativity in a relaxed atmosphere. They engage in different activities, both socially . and artistically stimulating. In the beginning a lone band of talented artists came together and formed Art Council. Together they raised money and visited art museums and participated in art-related projects. The purpose of Art Council is to stimulate the growth of art by the members.

All Niles West students were encouraged to submit work. Opus I looked for a wide variety of entries and tried to appeal to all of Niles West's students. Art entries included poems, short stories, and riddles. The best of the two categories, art and literature, were sent to a panel of judges for competition. The two winners were awarded a cash prize. Opus I was under the guidance of sponsor Mrs. Jeanne Denichs. The few minor changes in the club's structure included an elected editor rather than an appointed one and a larger executive board. The club, itself, met every Thursday to review material submitted during the week. The club decided what would go into the magazine and designed the format. The magazine was distributed in April. Opus I staff encouraged all students to take advantage of this opportunity to have their best works published as a part of school history. The 1980-81 West Word staff brought interesting, informative newsworthy events to Niles West through its biweekly publications. The staff, headed by Editor-inChief Ross Lirtzman, News Editor Rachel Heyman, Features Editor Debbie Weiss, Editorial Editor Monica Cohen, Sports Editor Cindy Doppelt, and Photography Editor Steve Rabin, captured the headlines as they occurred and reported them with precise, accurate details. Consisting of a small yet able staff of hardhitting, tough-nosed reporters and photographers, this year's newspaper covered everything from important curriculum changes to personal profiles of West students with unique hobbies or jobs. The abundant Spectrum staff worked diligently to creatively cover all aspects of Niles West. Led by Editor Monica Cohen, Assistant Editor Jodi Sone, Photo Editor Len Go, section editors: Tracey Miller, Lisa Sidler, Mark Witt, Gary Witz, Cheryl Tobin, Lisa .

This year five foreign exchange students were hosted: Navine Fouad from Egypt, Niklas Forser from Sweden, Miriam Cuatrecasas from Spain, Norbert Meyer from Germany and Helen Verity from New Zealand. The purpose of the National Honor Society is to render service to the students, the school, and the community. Projects undertaken in '80-' 81 to help realize this goal were: a school-wide holiday toy drive to benefit needy children, visits by members to hospitals and senior citi· zens' homes, and a contribution of money and time which resulted in a gift to the school.

Announcers P FACETS OF SPEECH EMPHASIZED IN DIVERSE ACTIVITIES eriodically throughout the year, the normal day for the students of Niles West was interrupted. This break was to go see a person or persons give a speech to the students on various topics. These interesting speakers were brought to the students by Forums. What is Forums, you ask? As English teacher Thomas McMahon put it, "Forums is a program designed to complement the academic curriculum by providing challenging speakers and opportunities for stimulating discussion in the areas of the arts, politics, sports, and public affairs." In the past, Forums has had many interesting speakers including; Mrs. George Bush, Richard Daley, and former Cub pitcher Ken Holtzman. On November 27, Forums had a presentation called "Inside Skiing" . A representative from Spoke and Ski shop in Skokie presented a film about a group of teenagers who had never skied before and their experiences while learning how to ski. Forums hopes to present such interesting and varied topics in the future as they have in the past. Debate is a two-person activity stressing argumentation and presentation on a variety of issues. This year's National High School Debate topic was: "Resolved: That the Federal Government should initiate and enforce safety guarantees on consumer goods." Two-man teams argued both the pro and con sides of this statement throughout the year at tournaments involving 10 to 100 schools. The local competition in the northern Illinois suburban area was thought to be one of the toughest in the country. Keeping this in mind, the Niles West Debate Team operated in full force for its second year under the direction of Mr. McMahon, George Travlos 62 Forums, Debate Lorelei Pettigrew, an alumnus of Northwestern University and a previous high school and collegiate debater. After several successes last year at the novice level, the team members are experiencing the challenge of varsity level competition. Through 1980 the Niles West squad has attended seven tournaments, including Glenbrook South High School and Northwestern University lnvatational, at which they competed against teams from around the country. At least seven more tournaments were battled in 1981, culminating in the National Forensics League Sectionals in March. Julia Bienias was the President of the Niles West Debate Team. Forensics is an interscholastic speech club which was reactivated for the year 1980-81. Our students participated in tournaments throughout the northern section of Illinois. There are many different competitive events such as: radio speaking, the reading of poetry, and humorous or dramatic cuttings from plays. Forensics is open to any Niles West student who has an interest in theatre, communications, or sportscasting. The sponsor of the club was Arnold Agnos. Good morning, today is ... Every morning during homeroom, Junior MaryAnn Kenmotsu and Senior Karen Klemens, attempted to entertain and inform fellow students. They brought us daily news events of the school's triumphs and defeats, as well as warnings from the deans and messages of caution or congratulations from other administrators.

German Club experienced a German Christmas party. There were 50 members in the club, and are still "DIE BESTEN". The Club was sponsored by Mr. Brink and Miss Beck. The president of the club was Kurt Lemke, Vice-President Pheodora Liou, Treasurer, Nancy Gussin, and Secretary, Tina Venetas. The Spanish Club was a new club at Niles West this 1980-.1981 school year, and they planned many different activities. The most outstanding, perhaps, was the planning and taking of a study trip to Mexico for the students at Niles West and the students at Niles North. In order to defray t he cost of the trips to the students, many fund raising activities were carried out between fall and spring. The students met every two weeks and they had refreshments at their meetings. Constructing a "pinata" was a December activity. The "pinatas" were broken at a party for the club before winter vacations. The sponsor of the club was Mrs. Herminia Lopez, born in Chile, transferred from Niles East where there was a successful Spanish Club in existence for a long time.

The beginning of the '80-' 81 school-year marked the beginning of one of Niles West's newest clubs, ScienceFiction and Fantasy Club. It was formed originally for the exchange of S-F-F books, music, art, etc. Through the year, it began to take on additional purposes. The game 'Dungeons and Dragons' and the crE!ation of the club's own 'world' were just a few innovations. The club also considered establishing a book clu b, using Niles East's S-F-F collection, donations, and books bought by the club members, who would be able to 'check out' the books for a period of time. The club's 20 + members planned to attend conventions, see plays, and/or movies and work out D and D competitions. They also considered a S-F-F news letter. This new club was sponsored by Mr. Stan Jones and some of its members included, Karin Goldstein, President, Sharon Murphy, Vice President, and Mitch Gittelman, Secretary. The Niles West Math Team excelled this year, placing high in several mathematical competitions, including the North Surburban Math League, the Illinois Math League, the Atlantic-Pacific Math League, the Illinois State Math Tournament, and the Annual National Math Contest. The team members enjoyed pitting their intuition, skill, knowledge and creativity against other students from around the state and country in solving challenging math problems. Math team members found this pursuit stimulating, instructive and most of all, fun. The Math Team officers this year were Steve Pang, President, Frank Miller, Vice-President, Karen Lee, Secretary, and David Erickson, Treasurer.

Now with one year of varsity experience under their belts, the two highly talented classes unitThe season got ed as one team. off to a good start with a 4-0 romp over Catholic League Champ Gordon Tech. Conference seemed to be a cake walk as the strong Indian team out passed and shut out everyone, until the final conference game against Maine South. The Indians saw their early lead fade with sun and a late effort was negated by a direct kick in the near darkness. Fortunately, Maine South's record was slightly tarnished with two ties, so the Indian kickers shared the conference championHowever, the ship with them. team did not fare as well in nonconference play. For some reason the kickers could not maintain the intensity and discipline to sustain their potent short passing game. This inconsistency led to a 5-4-1 mark in non-conference play as opposed to an outstanding 4-1 record in more difficult conference action. The Indians had set their sights on making the finals of the state tournament but that dream ended all too soon in the final game of the subsectional round. The kickers beat sister school Niles North in the first game of the tournament, but the trip to Evanston turned out to be the last game of the season. The Indians had managed to blank the Wildkits 2-0 in their first encounter. A fourth quarter flurry wasn't enough to overcome Evanston' s earlier scores. The 2-1 loss bumped the Indians from the tournament and gave them a 10-5-1 record for the sea- • son. The J. V. soccer team finished the season with a 4-6-2 record. Although there were no outstanding individuals, it is hoped that many of the players will move up to varsity next year. 74 Varsity Soccer ... . . . .. .. . . ~ ~ . .. . . .... ,,.. .

Unfortunately, they had to forfeit many of their games due to technicalities. These setbacks didn't stop the team's enthusiasm. Coach Zorn saw a great deal of improvement in the team's passing skills. Alex Engels, George Hurtado, and Stephan Harris were outstanding players. Both Freshmen teams had average seasons.

The overall record for the team was 3 wins and 8 losses, but as Hoeppner commented, "At least we didn't get skunked!" Senior Rob Chapman consistently scored low, and made it to sections. One pleasant surprise was sophomore Peter Joseph, who made the district meet. The highlight of the season was the defeat of Deerfield, the conference champions. Since many juniors are returning, the outlook is bright for ~ext year. The frosh-soph team also scored a few victories. One golfer humorously came up with a motto about his play: "It was easier to replace the turf than to returf the place!" Coach Galla was very happy with the improvement of sophomore Mark Fallaroni. Both squads hope for continued success next year. 78 Golf �Left: R. Chapman chips onto the 18th green. R. Moreton can't believe he hit that caddy. Right: T. Rivkin closes in on another birdie. M.

It was also blessed with a number of talented swimmers, like seniors Art Milbrandt, Steve Kueller, and Jeff Palenske who will be missed next year along with seven other seniors. This was the first year at West for Coach Don Larson who was a transfer from East along with four East swimmers. They were all pleased with the improved facilities at West. A main goal of the team this 84 Varsity Swim Team year was improvement of each individual regardless of the team's record. They practiced twice a day, even on days of a dual meet, in an effort to place as many swimmers as possible in the State Meet. "We will definitely miss the large group of graduating seniors next year, but with the excellent swimmers on the lower levels and the effect of the newly intiated year round swimming program, we hope to continue to improve," stated the swimming ·coach. �Opposite page top to bottom: Team members anxious for the meet.

This year the team plans to do even better. Senior Art Gunther, a middle and distance runner, said, "This year's track team looks like it should be a state contender. Not only have we gained more members, but those that have been on the team have gained experience. Many of the middle and distance runners have a fine background from cross-country, and between seasons we have worked our tails off. Sprinters are looking forward to their new coach and the field men are practicing hard. Coach Savage, Campbell, Mccarrell, and Pagnoni give us their expertise. The dedication of the members has created a great camaraderie which lends itself beautifully to the success of our team." Along with Art Gunther, other middle and distance runners include: Mike Lee, Steve Rosenblum, Bruce Sandlow, Jay Zeff, and Dan Zeller. Among the sprinters on this year's team are, Erlindo Evaristo, Mike Lippe, and Scott Margolin. The field men include Mark McCormack, Norbert Rock, and Victor Wu.

Track 105 �RUNNERS STAY IN TOP SHAPE FOR SEASON The Girl's Track Team had a very successful season, which began early in February. Mrs. Armour was head coach for the team as she has been in past years. At the beginning of the season Mrs. Armour tested each athlete in different events to discover any hidden talents she might have in a particular area. The team used the indoor Niles East track for practices during t he months our track at Niles West was under the snow. Weight training was used to keep the runners' muscles toned up. Plenty of stretching was done before the actual workouts began to prevent injuries. The spri nters practices co.nsisted of a lot of speed work, passing the baton, and starts on the blocks. Mr. Armour, the long distance coach, had his runners work on their endurance. The distance runners ran up to 8 miles a day to keep in shape for their rac·es.

This year the Varsity Team won four dual meets, and things are looking good for next year, since 3/ 4's of the team are sophomores and freshmen. Patty Zeitler is the only senior, and has been with the team for four years. Lynn Scnildgen, Dawn Winandy, Paige Pawelek, Lisa Singer, Sue Hughes, Patty Zeitler, and Karen Hedberg all had averages over 130 and received recognition for it in conference. Practice and home meets were held at Oakton Bowl. Dawn Winandy took the high game for the conference with 237. Because of their great success, they went downstate.

The team was captained by senior Steve Rosenblum and junior Mike Lee. Coach Savage suggested that the season was still a success as West easily won the Township Championships with a convincing win over Niles North by a score of 21 to 34 with Rosenblum, Art Gunther, and Lee taking the first three places. West also placed in the top ten of the 46 team Indian Invitational and won a trophy at the Niles Invitational. Coach Savage was especially pleased with individual performances of Art Gunther and Paul Wilm. Steve Rosenblum was the Most Valuable Runner on the team. He won 114 Cross Country nearly every meet he competed in and set records at the Township Championships, the Indian Invitational, the Glenbrook South Invitational, the Milwaukee Meet, the Niles Invitational and the Central Suburband League Conference Championships. For the second year in a row Steve was selected to the CSL All-Conference Team. Coach Campell thought that this years Frosh-Sophofnore team did "pretty good." They finished 3 in 6 in the conference meet, while finished 73 in the dual meet. He is looking forward to next year because of the potential which the boys hold.

The team members knew the depth of their school's respect and good wishes the morning they left for the state meet in Peoria. The girls received a send-off from the Niles West Pep Band, other athletes, parents, teachers, and administrators. The flowers, the music, and the tears proved that they were already number one to those who knew them. The Indian runners earned the right to run before more than 5000 spectators in Peoria on November 8, by taking 2nd place in their district competition a week earlier. During the season they compiled a 10-1-1 overall and a 61 Central Suburban League dual meet record. Four of the team members, Jenny Weiss, Laura Friedlander, Sue Rosenblum, and Jennie Campbell were selected 1980 All-Conference runners by the CSL coaches. The great 1980 season is just a preview to what the West crosscountry team will be in the future. There is little doubt that it will be one of the teams to watch in terms of growth and success.Coach Judy Sloan Clockwise: P. Doles comes in looking tired. M.

The team began the year with 6 new members, considering this everyone got along very well. Mid-season brought Coach Beeftink a new assistant, Miss Pontow. Her arrival brought 4 consecutive victories. This was one of the highlights of the year along with senior Karen LeHew being named AllConference. Next year will bring many new faces from J.V. to Varsity and hopefully a little more consis• tancy.

But with the cost of class rings today, students have a hard time deciding. According to Yvonne Johanson, senior, her ring will continually remind her of the happy days at Niles West. "It's an everlasting symbol of the high school I will graduate from. It's something I will cherish forever." Heather Joseph, junior, commented, "I can always keep it, just like my memories of school." Senior Kathy Krawsowsky said, "I wanted a nice ring to wear. The class rings are personal, by purchasing a ring order I have something to remind me of highschool later on in my life." It's easy to tell when ring ordering time is near.

Students gather during the five minutes passing periods to ponder the variety of styles and details available. According to advertisement posters, class rings are, "a part of today, a part of your lifetime. A pair of jeans should fit your personality ... could you expect less from your class ring?" Some students disagree. Cindy Doppelt, senior, said, "It's to expensive for just a memory." Senior, Vicki Shand ling, believes the rings are not worth it. "A rip-off" were her exact words. Bob Braje, senior, decided against buying one because he just would not wear it. JoAnn Oppenhiem, senior, is just one who is undecided. "I wanted a ring, just never did get one." She said, "I don't really know why, but now I regret it. Maybe I will get a college ring instead." Senior, Donna Anderson, wears her ring constantly now. She stated, "I doubt I will wear my ring after highschool but I'm glad I bought one." Whether or not students decide to get a class ring, Niles West memories will remain. But with a unique class ring, students have a personal, tangable memory. -Marie Helgeson �LEFT: Students try to decide which ring to buy. compare rings.

Quizzes and tests, which are merely part of our weekly routine, are accepted as a way of life between September and June. But when it comes to the subject of that 75-minute test called the final exam, teenagers often reveal a sudden negative attitude toward a once acceptable lifestyle. We all think of and prepare for final exams in different ways. Some people lorce themselves into total seclusion for a given time, studying ·as never before. Others of us hurriedly skim our notes while gulping down Wheaties or Lucky Charms the very morning of our exam. Then there are the brave and daring who are determined to ace their desired grade without a moment of studying. One member of this group, sophomore Kim Gross, commented, "I don't prepare for finals. If you ask me, that's a waste of time." Our teachers tell us that the signifigance of finals is to tell them just how much we've learned in a semester. But students think of them simply as the last chance they have for the grade they've been hoping for or dreading. The final exam score can be the major breakthrough or the downfall of a semester of hard work. "Finals are ridiculous because they try to cram 18 weeks into three days.'' contributed senior Bob Heelan. Sophomore Julie Kellman summed up her opinion by saying, "25 % of your grade is too much to base them on." Whatever the reaction may be to the controversial and unpleasant final exam topic, we must set aside our (tour letter) comments and attempt to look on the bright side. After all, finals represent the official completion of a busy and vital semester. This prominent cue can offer the opportunity to start anew and consider bettering ourselves past a degree we never before would have considered.-Brenda Moss Charles Goldberg Darrell Goldberg Gary Goldenberg Tony Goldish Rhonda Goldstein Ted Goodman Chris Gonzales Lisa Goone Michelle Gorchon Cindy Gotfryd Alex Govis Lisa Grass Paul Greenspan Vicki Greenstein Barb Groeling Paul Grosse Alice Gueyikian Natalie Gunchick Veronica Gustek Glenn Guttman Sophomores 191 �Martha Ha Michelle Haddon Lisa Hahn Julie Halap Rob Harles Andrew Harrelson Stephen Harris Karen Hartwig Gayle Hartzen Debbie Havdala Karen Hedberg Karen Hedquist Kathy Hehn Joan Heidkanp Don Hennessy Scott Herbold Ellen Herman Julie Hilde brand Robert Hill Eric Hinchman Oliver Hintz Keith Hirata Carrie Hlepas Jacqueline Hoffman James Hoffman Ricky Holowiski Lori Holst Jay Horn st ein Elmer Hortelano Beth Horvat Frank Horvath Jorge Hurtado Mike lrpino Mirli lskandar Todd Jackson Peter Jacobson Renata Jakubowski Desiree James Janice Gajdek Jackie Jenkins Frank Ji Diane Johnson 192 Sophomores �Brad Joselit Peter Joseph Munhi Jung Ken Justesen Maria Kacak Tina Kalabogia Susan Kang Mark Kapelanski Todd Kaplan Kim Kasnick Mark Kaufman Michael Kaufman Julie Kellman David Kewith Shahin Khoshbin Eva Kim Ki Kim Steve Klein Dale Klemenz Cary Kochman Ayumi Kodama Left: A doors eye view of Alan Smith.

Determined to cut down on student apathy, the cabinet met weekly ~nder the sponsorship of Mr. Carl Geis. "Our cabinet worked well together, and we had a great time too!" said cabinet member Geri Masterson. "A class ought to be able to have lots of fun together, and everybody should have the chance to meet each other. That's something we've tried to achieve this year." Claiming they had the highest level of school spirit, the sophomores set out to prove it by showing appreciation to the Indians. The cabinet claimed that during the cold, windy football season, there were more sophomores cheering in the stands than any other class. The cabinet worked on events such as the frosh-soph mixer, the building of a homecoming float, and a co-ed sports night Member Elisa Leberis said, "Things have gone very well, but it would be nice if next years cabinet can produce a better mixer than those of the past!" Overall, the Sophomore Cabinet had a productive year, and its members are confident that the results will be the same when they are juniors.

Who are some of your favorite teachers? What classes are most beneficial at West? The sophomores had a chance to answer these questions in a recent survey. The first question, which concerned favorite classes, had suprising results. The favorite class of the sophomores was physical education, which led by a wide margin. Dean Erickson said that "P.E. is the most frequently cut class at Niles West." Maybe its- popularity stemmed from the fact that it was described by many as a "blow off" class. Some sophomores decided to eliminate the possible theorizing, and responded that free periods and lunch were their favorites.

Many teachers were considered "best" . Mr. Jones tallied the most points, winning such favorable comments as "easy going", "a comedian" and simply "a good teacher". Mr. Davis ran . a close second, but for different reasons. "Mr. Davis lets everyone listen to the radio in art class," said Adele Rose. "Also, she noted, "he teaches on a person to person basis." Mr. Fields was another highly favored teacher. Lisa Shapiro felt that Mr. Fields was "a great teacher. He liked what he was doing, and it showed." The response to the most beneficial classes was a realistic one. Math, typing, English, biology, and business classes were top scorers. Lunch, although a favorite class, was considered beneficial by few.

The purpose of the Freshmen Cabinet is to promote leadership and camaraderie. The freshmen not only demonstrated leadership, they also had fun. "I enjoyed working on the Freshmen Class Cabinet because I met many new people, and we did all sorts of interesting things,'' decided Secretary Janee Kaufman. The Cabinet began their activities in October with the builing of their Homecoming float. They continued to meet once a month to plan for the Open Sports Night in the spring. This fund-raiser was held in order to obtain enough money to purchase Class of '84 t-shirts. Despite other school activities or outside jobs, the students on the Freshmen Class Cabinet worked to help their classmates and future freshmen. "A few people can change and improve conditions for all freshmen classes. We tried to make it so that the Freshmen Cabinets in the years to come will be as enthusiastic as we were, and have as much fun," commented Damien Moahak, Treasurer. The Cabinet is open to all freshmen interested in planning activities strictly for freshmen. President Holly Hollander said, "I think the Freshmen Class Cabinet is good because all freshmen are involved, and we can make the school work for us!" The Freshmen Cabinet provides good experience for those who plan to be active in student government. "I'm gong to continue working on student activities at Niles West. This is just a beginning." An important aspect of all class cabinets is that a couple responsible people are chosen to stand for their fellow students. Vice-President Jerry Strange replied, "I like the idea of representing the entire freshmen class."Liaa Shapiro Freshmen 209 �Jim Obermann Arbella Odishoo Atsuko Okada Jeff Okamura Dawn Olander Lifcha Olive Shelia Olson Phyllis Oppenheim Randi Oppenheim Dawn Palm Aris Pandazi Elaine Panos Sang Park Mahjabeen Patel Kathy Pattison Cheryl Paustine Paige Pawelek Margaret Pearson Susan Peiser Frank Perez Neil Perl Gary Perlman Scott Pflaumer Kim Pintor Steve Piorklund Jill Piper Phil Piscitello Ray Pitta Jacqueline Plonus Marlena Portnoy Karen Privatsky John Pszyk Cheryl Rabin Dave Rappin Jill Rappin Kristen Reasner Brenda Reeves David Risotf Anna Roberto Jill Roberts Joseph Rodgers Ramsey Rodgers Cheryl Rogan Mark Rosen Mitchell Rosen Greg Ross Ray Rosses Danny Rotblatt 210 Freshmen �Caryn Rubenstein Mike Ruly Jordy Sacksner Andrew Santiler Becky Santos Julie Saper Julie Savitt Lisa Savitt Marty Savitt Julie Scapardine Dean Schmidt Robin Schrager Denise Schultz Ellen Schusteff Elisa Seltzer Christine Sergot Sonali Shah David Shane Mohammed Shariff Beth Shartiag Laura Shedroff Gregg Sherman Daniel Siciliano Pam Siperis Jackie Smessaert Pamela Smith John Soble Ronald Sohn Randy Sokol Tom Somenek Sheryl Sperling Karen Springborn Chris Socash Lisa Stein Reinhard Stenzel Spencer Stern Erica Stone Jerry Strange Jim Streiff April Strissel Karen Siegel Alan Silberman Karen Silverblatt Miriam Silverman West Silverman David Simon Matthew Simonson Cindy Skupiewski Left: Lets boogie!

POLL n early November, the freshmen class of '84 was given a questionaire asking them about their favorite T.V. show, the amount of television they watched per week, their favorite actor, and the best movie they had seen. The most popular show with Niles West freshmen is MASH. Other shows that ranked high were: Dukes of Hazard, Soap, Dallas, and Eight is Enough. There are certain reasons why MASH was so highly favored. Tom Syrcek thinks MASH is "realis- 212 Freshmen tic, funny, and somewhat entertaining." According to Rich Mayer, MASH ranked high "because the plots are really good.'' Says Damien Moshak, "it is humorous in many different ways, and it keeps the reality of war and the hardships of people.'' The average West freshman watches anywhere from 1-30 ty:>urs of television per week. T. V. watching is determined by how much school work, jobs and other extracurricular activities the student had. The freshmen also rated Burt Reynolds and Bo Derek as the top actor and actress. Others high on the ladder were: Alan Alda, Clint Eastwood, Robert Redford, Cheryl Ladd, Jane Fonda, and Barbra Streisand. Steve Faingold likes Burt Reynolds because he is crazy, while Carolyn Marshall thinks he's a fox. The class of "84 described Bo Derek as "extremely beautiful" and "very funny." The favored movie was ''The Blues Brothers" with John Belishi and Dan Akroyd. Other frequented movies were: "My Bodygaurd" and "The Empire Strikes Back". Though these movies are very different, all were described a being "thoroughly enjoyable.'' - Alan Zemsky �Stuart Wallace Marla Wallerstein Lindy Warshawsky Sandy Wei Carrie Weinberg Howard Weinberg Michelle Weinberg Mike Weindling Jill Weinman Suzanne Weisman Ami Weiss William Wheeler Tom Whelan Glenn White Peter Wierzchon Steven Winkler Joanah Wipf Mary Witzcall Robin Wolfberg Danny Woo Laura Woodfield James Woodier Kurt Wozniak John Wrzala Gunther Wurnbach Jon Yellen Mike Yetter Sandra Yoo Seesun Yoo Yu Yu John Zaffer Sharon Zeff Mike Zellers Robert Zeman David Zemsky David Ziegelski Freshman Caryl Rubenstein points out that her favorite T.V. show is "The Muppets".

Their excellent teaching background and sincere concern for students greatly enhanced the social studies department. Our freshman students took a newly developed social studies skills test to measure their knowledge in social studies. The Niles West program attempts to teach each student enrolled in the program. �This same test will be given to these students near the end of their junior year to measure the effectiveness of our social studies program in teaching skills.

It is an instructional plan which combines learning experiences gained in on-the-job supervised employment and vocationally related in-school instruction. The overall objective of CVE is to provide an opportunity for interested students to acquire marketable skills and knowledge in an occupation for which they have an aptitude.

An important part of the work to be done in the health curriculum this year had grown out of the task force to re-evaluate what was taught to students from elementary school through high school in regard to drug education. �H HOME tiC CHANGES WITH THE TIMES ome Economics may be the name of the department, however the daily activities that took place in our classrooms covered a much broader aspect of the lives of our students today. While some of our basic instruction centered around the traditional foods and clothing courses, tradition was broken when our students ran a restaurant, studied fashion merchandising, and operated a nursery school. Our courses have been available to boys for many years, and in the last few years we have experienced a substantial increase in our male enrollment. Mrs. Chausow checks over a students work.

Though the staff as a whole is deserving of commendation, several individuals have earned a special pat on the back for their relentless perserverance. I'd like to thank assistant editor Jodi Stone for all her late night cropping, posters, dittos, cooperation and support, photo editor Len Go for keeping his sanity and always coming through in a crisis, section editors Tracey Miller, Happenings, Cheryl Tobin, Up Front, Lisa Russell, Scholastic, Mark Witt, Winners, Marilyn Moltz, Moving Up, and Lisa Sidler, All Together, for putting up with the general harassments and always getting their work in on time. (or shortly thereafter!) Special credit also goes to Cheryl Tobin for getting candy for our successful fundraiser, Jodi Stone for her great work on the Senior Surveys and graffitti pages, Tracey Miller for her monumental effort on the index and Senior Surveys, and Tom Weiss for always being extremly dependable. Thanks also to advisors Mr. Jerome Orr and Mrs. Angela Graham for their proofreading skills and good advice, and Jostens representative Mr. Dennis Eder for his help and encouragement. Together these great "people at west" compiled a fresh, innovative photojournalistic medium filled with memories that will last a lifetime. Lord Chesterfield would be proud! Monica Cohen Spectrum Editor 300 Staff �r Clockwise: Gary Abrahams, Lisa Sidler, and Tracey Miller combine yearbookability. Mark Witt and Jodi Stone try to figure out what's going on. Photo editor Len Go embezzles film. Spectrum editor Monica Cohen gets cropped. Marilyn Moltz takes advantage of a mellow 9th period. Ray Cho and Cheryl Tobin support their sweet tooth. Tom Weiss caught in the act. Staff 301 �IN MEMORIAM .... \ MICHAEL CASSIDY '75 JEFFREY LIAMETZ '73 - ' l ~ I t ~ ; It matters not how long we live, but how. P.J.

On my first day at Niles West I ... O got locked inside my locker by a senior. O brought treats for my homeroom. D accidentally went into the wrong bathroom. D spent the day in BAC. 2. The first time I parked in the student lot I ... O backed into 285 pound Joe Schmoe's brand new Porshe. O was allowed to park in the handicap space due to a broken pinky. O found out that I was in the teacher's lot, thus obtaining a ticket. O hit Dr. Ring's car before turning into the lot, giving me another day in BAC. 3. Before school every morning I watch D the weather. D the Thundercats. O Tom and Jerry. O the time pass in BAC. 4. The first time I went to see my dean I [] cried hysterically and begged him not to give me a detention. O shook his hand and introduced myself. O called my mom to come in with me. D got assigned to BAC. 5. Dressing myself for school was easy because I D coordinated a perfectly matched outfit the night before. D wore the same thing every day. O grabbed the closest thing on my floor. D came in my pajamas. 6. My first time at the Homecoming dance I D stood in the corner waiting until most of the seniors were off the dance floor. D showed off my incredible dancing talents, giving me a spot on the next Dance Fever. D fell asleep because the dance started an hour past my bedtime. D talked to the chaperons about my BAC's. D equipped with a mirror for periodical grooming between classes. D a complete disaster. 11. On my first date I ... D spilled a drink on my date. D got something black stuck between my teeth. D burped in a fancy restaurant. D talked about school (and all my BAC's). 12. After school I usually . . . D stayed after for extra curricular activities. D went straight to the library to begin studying. D raced home to watch the last 5 minutes of General Hospital. D left the BAC room and headed for room 140 to serve my detention. 13. During a fire drill I . . . O fainted from excitement. D scanned the school looking for the fire. D told on the person who pulled the alarm. D remained seated in BAC until my dean thought of my punishment for pulling the alarm. 14. The day before holiday break I . . . D caught the chicken pox and stayed in the entire 2 weeks.

Many clubs also took part In the parade with creative multicolored floats. �Checking In Along with the high ranked status of "the senior class" comes the privilege of being nominated to Homecoming court. King and Queen nominees anxiously await the results of the election. Early every weekday morning, the tranquil, undisturbed halls of NiWeHi undergo a remote transformation. Students begin to pile into the building by the dozens, and tranquility is suddenly replaced by an explosion of ear-piercing voices. " Checking In" has become a daily ritual of these high school students. It acknowledges the start of another challenging school day. Students riding the school bus usually arrive first , thus enjoying a full 30 minute free time. They await the appearance of their buses at various stops throughout Linco lnwood, Morton Grove, Niles, and Skokie. More fortunate students, normally upperclassmen, have the privilege of driving to school. Students prefer to drive rather than take the bus because it means an extra half hour of sleep and a later departure from home. Nevertheless, even driving has its disadvantages. Arriving at school later often means searching for a parking space, and sometimes walking from the far end of the lot in bad weather. Once inside the building, the majority of students lounge in the cafeteria. A manifold of loud , chattering voices echo throughout the cafeteria , Oakton Lobby, and hallways. Others prefer a more serene environment, choosing the library or resource centers to complete homework. An overabundance of students wait for their turn in front of the overcrowded bathroom mirrors, and the pounding of basketballs vibrate throughout the contest gym. Finally , the 7:30 bell sounds . The previously crowded hallways are suddenly empty and peaceful. Only the familiar sound of the P.A. announcements can be heard. Another school day has begun . Junior Calvin Ramseyer enjoys the excess attention he receives after his unfortunate injury. Close friends and classmates take time out of their schedules to comfort him. A smile of satisfaction appears on senior Jlnjer Brody's face as she completes a perfectly coordinated routine. As usual, the pom pon girls use creativity and skill· ful moves to Impress their audience. Checking in 5 �Checking Up On Vocabulary Any intelligent student at Niles West knows the importance of a well developed vocabulary. No matter what class a student takes, vocabulary always plays a part. Vocabulary can even help a student relate to both past events, and new experiences. Every high school student should know these few terms: Freshman (fesh/man), 1. Undermostclassman. 2. A student who buys elevator passes. 3. A student who looks for homeroom grade on his report card. 4. Someone who brings home every book and studies them vigorous I y, even though homework wasn't assigned . 5. A student who wanders aimlessly. Sophomore (sot/a mor), 1. Underclassman. 2. A student who thinks he knows what he is doing, but doesn't. 3 . A student who rules the busses since juniors and seniors don't take them. Junior (jUn/yar), 1. Upperclassman. 2. A student who realizes college is around the corner. 3. A victim of the ACT and SAT. Senior (sen/yar), 1. Up- permostclassman. 2. A student who knows what to do yet prefers not to do it. 3. One whose main function is laziness. 4. A student who knows, loves, and anxiously waits for David Letterman to come on. 5. A student who suffers from senioritis. Senioritis (sen/yar itis), 1. The incurable disease of desiring to graduate from high school without working. 2. Disease can affect a senior only 3. symptoms include: laziness, boredom, lack of sleep, and carelessness.

Students find some free time in their schedules to spend with friends. 8 Division-Seniors �Let's hear it for the senior! Pablo Blanco participates in the excitement at the Homecoming Pep Assembly. Division-Seniors 9 �Enthusiasm rocked the hallways, as school spirit erupted throughout NiWeHi! The feelings of suspense and excitement roared in the gymnasium during pep assemblies. Friends and enemies alike forgot their differences and set out for a common goal, to cheer out teams to victory. The feelings of unity and enthusiasm were evident as the flocks of student crammed into the gymnasium. Explosions of red and white bodies filled the once empty bleachers. Fans yelled, screamed, and of course, chanted the school spirit songs. School spirit was not only shown at the pep assemblies, but throughout the entire week leading up to the games. The Midnight Riders displayed much school spirit throughout the season. They went on toilet paper frenzies at varsity athletes' houses to inspire positive winning attitudes. Homecoming week arrived, bringing with it mobs of psyched Indians. Hundreds of painted students went on a spirit warpath to express their enthusiasm. Activites for the week consisted of dress up days which involved class levels wearing different colors and unusual styles of dress attire, contests for the best toga, greatest putting ability in golf, and the quick football uniform change contest. These were all held to boost spirit and morale. The dedication to school spirit will never die in the hearts of our true-blue, red and white Indians. ���If one were to ask seniors , "What 's new at school? " , they would probably answer, "Not much!" In fact, some would consider the absence of Nibs in the vending machines · or the di~­ continuation of "th'e thought for the day' ' in the daily bulletin as the most significant turn of their high school careers; however , with time comes change, and during the past four years, the senior class has adapted to several transformations within the school. Some alterations were advantageous to students , while others forced students to adjust to different lifestyles at school. Each September, students returned finding at least one aspect of their school different. Some of these changes that the seniors saw during their four year terms " were: A NEWLY REPAVED PARK I NG LOT lacking spe,ed bumps and potholes and providing a smoother ride for C~RS. A CAR, and numerous watches painted on the uninteresting cafeteria wall by several talented STUDENTS . THE STUDENTS' dream of a pop machine was finally realized in 1985 when one was installed in the hall outside of the cafeteria. For many students, the soda replaced school lunches and, hence, created disapproval among the ADM INISTRATION . THE ADM INISTRATION decided to revoke students' privileges of free access in the halls af,ter a series of senior pranks. A new system of closed hall- ways was incorporated to decrease disorder and CLASSROOM DISRUPTION. CLASSROOM DISRUPTION due to hallway noise was a key reason for installing beige carpeting outside classrooms. Besides absorbing sound , it gave a neater appearance to THE HALLWAYS. THE HALLWAYS were painted pink to compliment the tiny bits of pink in the tiles which were covered a year later with CARPETING . While each class might claim to have seen it all, every student will always see the new come in and the old go out. Each year, our school has continued to expand in hopes of creating a perfect environ ment in which students and faculty can learn and work. �O.k., we 're seniors! We've struggled through the difficult years of high school. The so called "blow-off year" has finally arrived, right? Wrong! Plenty of hard work was still ahead for students in their senior year. College preparations made up the bulk of this hard work. Many students failed to realize the importance of meeting application deadlines. "Colleges filled up so quickly, this year more than any. If you missed a deadline, they wouldn't even give you the benefit of the doubt," commented college counselor Frank Mustari. Besides application deadlines, colleges pressured seniors to keep grades up and to choose challenging senior year courses. Colleges commonly refused to admit students who met class rank and test score requirements, but took "push-over classes" and let their grades drop during senior year. Students who had beei:i accepted to a college couldn't afford to let their grades drop either. Even after admission, the colleges kept a close watchful eye on the students' performance in the classroom until graduation. College deadlines and requirements definitely put a strain on seniors. To cope with these pressures, seniors had to continue working as hard as in their previous high school years. , I ���Every year in May, something isn't right. The hallways seem more quiet and less crowded. Freshmen walk unharassed. The senior section of the cafeteria is suddenly uninhabited. Students notice that the seniors have disappeared. The big question is: Where have all the seniors gone??? For many years, seniors have banded together to blow off one day of school, know as Senior Cut Day. On this day, seniors gather together at a beach, the forest preserve, or other favorite outdoor spot to relax and party with their obnoxiously rowdy peers. When asked how long Senior Cut Day has existed, Mr. Albiani responded, "For as long as I can remember." Controversy has arisen over this tradition , and many efforts have been made to stop this unruly behavior. "I don't see anything wrong with Senior Cut Day," commented junior Estelle Nikolakakis. " Seniors deserve a day off anyway." However, the deans and administration feel differently about the situation . They have tried to deter this one day strike with extra long detensions and suspensions, but the seniors always seem to prevail. "I hope Senior Cut Day will still be a tradition when I'm a senior," stated freshman Geoff Pyter. �Some seniors have very unusual names. Some don't. We've taken some of those not so unusual names and made them unusual. Don't you think it would be funny if: SCOTT was an EVE instead of ari ADAMS SARI was a BARBER instead of a BAKER SHERI was a HOT DOG instead of a BERGER PABLO was a NEGRO instead of a BLANCO MELANIE was a CIRCLE instead of a BLOCK PETE was a ROME instead of an ATHANS ALLISON was a RIVER instead of a BROOKS ANGIE was a BLACK instead of a BROWN .

Senior Midnight Riders scurried silently in the darkness of the night. Every evening before a football, soccer, or basketball game, a group of dedicated senior girls took a couple of hours to bake cookies, make creative posters, and gather up rolls and rolls of toilet paper to decorate the players' houses. These acts boosted the spirit not only of the players, but also allowed these girls to actively participate in bringing spirit to all of NiWeHi. Commenting on the spirited group are some of the senior Midnight Riders. "Midnight Riding allowed me to get involved in school spirit. It was a great feeling the next morning when the players told us that we did a great job teepeeing their houses. It made me feel appreciated and totally psyched me up for those Friday night games," stated Cathy Smith. Another senior rider, Amy Fullet, added , " Sometimes the players didn't get enough credit for all their hard work. Having their houses tee-peed let them know that we cared and appreciated all of their efforts." Even though Midnight Riding was not always compatible with the Riders' schedules, this activity still allowed them to participate in school spirit, even after the school day ended at NiWeHi! �What are they?

Students either studied hard and had limited free time, or didn't study and depended upon pure fate and good luck. When first entering high school, most students studied strenuously to get off to a good start. Like most freshmen, books were carried home by the dozen. Sophomore year, part-time jobs and other activities became part of the daily schedule, and students' free time was restricted to an even greater extent. Eventually, junior year arrived and students received the big warning. " Get your act together for college NOW!" This bit of advice was heard time and time again. Some chose to listen to these sincere words of wisdom, while others ignored them. PSAT's and ACT's came into the picture, and students began looking into col- lege and career choices. Last, but never least, senior year appeared. Signs of "senioritis" were diagnosed among members of the senior class. Some of the more common symptoms included laziness. lack of interest in school work, and the downright urge to party! By the end of the year, most seniors hadn't a care in the world. They felt they deserved freedom from homework after three long tedious years of studying. This was their time to sit back, relax, and enjoy themselves for the remainder of their high school lives. They had finally fulfilled their requirements and applied to schools that they were interested in attending. All that was left to do was wait. So seniors waited for the day that they would become freshmen once again. Soon , they would have to ask themselves that same question one more time. To study or not to study, that is the question. �Many teachers have fam iliar sayings that their students will always remember. Those same words, phrases, sentences and quotes are something we can all relate to. Some of these quotes will go down in the Niles West History book. Mr. Schutt - "I'm not going to be your buddy, your pal, or your friend." Mr. Strnad - "Teens are great!" Mr. Koch - "Join the band wagon." Mr. Savage - "Join the track team and you'll get an automatic A." Mr. Hill - "Hey tigers!" Miss O'Reiley - "Come on chi co." (Erase ... erase ... ) Mr. Dvorak - "5, 5, or l." Mr. Lucas - "This year I'm going to get real strict with you girls." Mr. Boevers - "Oh sorry, I got sidetracked again." Mrs. Hentz - "Alright ... I'm wrong again." Ms. VanDorpe - "Hmmmm." Miss Stevens - "25 extra points if you turn your outline in on Monday." Mr. Galla - "Any comments, any questions, can you think of anything?" Mr. Orr - "This year I'm not going to yell. If you want a fall delivery ... " Mr. Knaak - "Open your Warrener's." ���"Make sure you have lead in your .mechanical pencil." These words erlcompass the advice of senior Gail Gutterman to those preparing to take the PSAT. Gail, along with fellow seniors Lisa Halliday, Meena Ravella, and Nick Nafpliotis, was named a national merit semi-finalist. To become a semi-finalist, a student must take the PSAT as a junior. Those students who score in the top 1.5 percent are semi-finalists and may try for the rank of "finalist." About 90 percent of the semi-finalists become finalists.

One of the main benefits of becoming a national merit semi-finalist, and then a finalist, is that it opens up the opportunity of special merit scholarships to the students. At the very least, colleges are greatly impressed. The main pieces of advice to future PSAT testtakers given by Gail , Nick, and Meena were to take practice tests and to study the vocabulary. Students should also try not to worry about the test too much, according to Lisa . And , most importantly, don 't forget the lead for your pencil! �Don't the constant whines of teenagers usually concern what they should wear to school tomorrow, or where they should go over the weekend?

Ask yourself these questions before you commit yourself. Are A.P. classes the most challenging courses at West? Can I cram for the essay test the night before? Even though the answers to these significant questions differ, one thing that all students agree on is the 20 hours of studying needed each week. Depending on the content, A. P. classes differ. All teachers conduct their classes in varying ways, and A.P. students have a variety of opinions about A.P. classes: Greg Rudin "For a big guy like me, I can handle anything." Brian Buehling "They are extremely hard, especially if you do not study." Tom Dallianis "Not a blowoff, a lot of work. Afterall, it is a college credit it is worth." Mike Tipesco " Challenging." Eric Biljetina "I think it is the same as an honors class. There's just more homework." Eric Orsic "Basically they are pretty challenging. " Anne Liosatos "Stimulate my thinking. " �A congruent group, just as one. Our senior class shared lots of fun. Together we started at a time not so near, App ~opriately named freshman year. Meeting each other, such an easy start, Not even a thought of our final depart. Sophomore year developed with the name, Our bunch of wise fools did not easily tame . The games and antics were part of our spirit, Too bad nobody else wanted to hear it. Junior year started off with a blast, Rockets glared, for we became upperclass. College and preparation required some thought, Without all these, most would have been caught. At last senior year was finally achieved , Along with the spirit on which we believed. Together our class laughed, cried, and learned , Obtaining the position we consistently urged. Our spirit has leapt to soaring heights, From here we will try with all our mights. ���Where will you be after college graduation? Maybe you will be the next lotto winner, the new bass player for Bruce Springsteen, or maybe even the new Larry Bird. The future lies in your hands, shaped by your hopes and dreams. When Niles West seniors were asked what their after college plans were, they gave the following responses: "I hope to be drafted by the Cubs." Brad Kave ''To vacation in Hawaii and become a physical therapist.'' Lilianna Williamson "To be a D.J. for B96." Aurleto Merkato "I'd like to attend graduate school and become a doctor. Vince Fang "I want to be very, very rich." Anthony lrpino "I'd like to marry a rich and successful guy." Tracey Michaels "To be a high school math teacher.'' Jenny Anast "I'd like to invent mirrored contact lenses." Carrie Hintzke "I am going to move to Bedrock so I can live with my dad and workout with stone weights and get huge." Howie Aronesti "I wish to reconcile with my parents for their Audi 5000 S." John Puljic �Many changes took place between freshman and senior year. Seniors walked around empty handed, while the naive babies of the school, the "freshies," carried around their entire locker with a schedule in clear view. They had to be cautious of their every move, because humiliation seemed to follow them everywhere, whether walking into the wrong classroom, tripping up the stairs, or dropping trays in the cafeteria. These events caused enough embarrassment to last a lifetime, or so it seemed. Sophomore year brought a relief from the pressure of freshman status. The worries of getting, or actually forgetting, how to get to the gym had disappeared. Horray! The excitement of being an upperclass- man came junior year when they were finally seated on the lower level for pep assemblies, received driver's licenses, and became part of varsity teams. As juniors, they began to think about post high school plans. Seniors at last, they had made it to the top! They didn't have anyone to look up to anymore, just younger people to look at and impress with their new superiority. Seniors not only had the chance to feel "cool" this year, but also finally had to decide on the college they would be attending. The following quotes by seniors reflect how they feel they have changed: "I have . . . . become more mature" . . . . Cindy Levrne fewer brain cells" .... Ben Vashon become more sure of myself aiid -'have longer hair" ... . Evie Murgas become more immature" .... Kevin Lochner come to Niles West and gotten better looking' '. .... Staci Stratigakes better times" .... Kelly Cordes grown one and onehalf inches" .... Anthony lrpino straighter hair" Stephanie Gold become more obnoxious" .... Wendy Martin blonder hair now" Dana Siciliano a better way of cVessing, a lot better" .... Ken Munic learned how to deal with Niles West" ... . Cathy Smith & Tracey Michaels ���Partying, going to flicks, and cruising is how we, the seniors, spent our weekends. Even though we couldn't always find a happenin' spot, we always managed to find a way to have a fine time. Not everyone hung out with the same people, but within crowds. The more mellow student found himself more content just studying at home or simply relaxing. However, the majority of students found themselves searching for something new and exciting to do. Seniors felt that their weekends had changed entirely since their freshman year. Most say that they now have more freedom. The following list gives an idea of how the class of '88 spent their weekends. Julie Wickell . .. " I studied and went to church ... I think." Frank Brodsky . .. "I tried to block school out of my mind." Anonymous ... "I hung out at the Touhy McDonald's and squeeled my tires." Lisa Meisner . . . " I went out with Gus." Brad Carstens ... "I studied with Ducky." Ann Liosatos ... "I caught up on sleep." Kevin Lochner ... "I had a big tea party and watched the Smurfs." Roderick Pintang . .. "I went to dances and to parties with my friends. " Greg Rappin ... "I played in a band." Dawn Jacobs .. . "I stayed home and studied with Ducky and Brad." Angela Hanga ... " I got chased by cops from one place to another." Stacy Stratigakes ... "I planned a diet that would start on Monday." �People come and people go, It happens every day. And though good-bye is such a simple word, I find it hard to say. Our friendships in these past four years, I've cherished from the start. Although we ' re going our separate ways, We 'll still be close at heart. As I sadly watch you leaving me, I'll try hard not to cry. Because this isn't the only time, I'll have to say good-bye. ��Juniors Jeni Duda and Danielle Chams find a cozy spot on the front lawn to finish studying for their test.

Imagine a fancy banquet hall where streamers drop from the celling and brightly colored roses decorate the .tables surrounding a magnificent dance floor. Upon this floor a crowd. of Juniors and Senio. s dance to a seven piece orchesr tra and have the time of their lives at Prom. Now picture a group of dedicated Ju• nior Class Cabinet members pondering a theme, choosing the favors and ar· ranging. decorations for the. Prom. These .Juniors, along with the Sponsor, Mrs. Horwitz. create the gtitter of Prom. The responsibilities of the cabi.. net include choosingthe location. auditioning the band, and selecting the exact cot-Ors and styles of the bids and favors. Student$ may ask why the Juniors, rather than the Seniors, arrange Prom. Cabinet member, Dawn Rugendorf explains. "It's like a present to the Seniors or a farewell party. By the time May comes along, Seniors are getting set for graduation and don't want all the responsibility of having to create their own Prom." Junior Class Cabinet members spend much of their first semester planning bake sales and card sales to increase the treasury so that by second semester, they can focus all their attention on Prom. When ihe streamers come down and the last tabtes are cleared, the glitter of Prom Night slowly turns into a mem~ ory. But. the next year's Junior Class Cabinet wilt soon busy themselves with the plans and preparations of the n~xt "Magical Night''.

A great number of students contioue to wear sweatshirts. I-shirts, arn:I sweatpants with college logos printed across their chests (and sometimes their behinds)! These logos include various colleges and universities such as Harvard, Arizona State, or University of Michigan. Frequently during the weekends, many NiWeHi students flock to the universities of Illinois, Indiana. Wisconsin, and Iowa, among others. to buy out the local bookstore's supply of clothing, thus filling their empty closets back home. This habit may become ex· tremely expensive for mom, but as junior Sundy Thompson states. "They are worth every penny." Most of the apparel comes from midwestern schools since many of the brothers and sisters of students attend these colleges and bring home wearable presents. While walking down the hall, students should take notice of this popular craze and try to confirm if they really do attend Niles West or some elite college.

Slowly rising out of bed, Joe, the typical NiWeHi student, stumbles across the dark shadowy hallways to the shower when a thought jumps his mind: TEST, or more accurately, remorse for forgetting to study for a test. At 7:00 a.m. Joe hurriedly dresses, with suds still in his hair and stubble on his cheeks and chin. While running down the stairs, eating breakfast. and even proceeding to the bus stop, Joe tries to absorb the material from his previously untouched book for his third period class.

Arriving for the dreaded test, Joe hears his teacher announce that the test will not be administered until a later date. At this point, Joe, ready for a doctor, or at least a pass to the nurse, hears a highpitched ring interrupting his nervous breakdown. The scream of his alarm clock causes Joe to bolt straight up in bed as he realizes that this fiasco has only occurred in an extremely bad dream.

No longer would they have to check the numbers and the arrows on the walls to see which way their next class was. No more getting hit by pennies. buying bogus elevator passes. or having "fresh1e" yelled at them as they walked through the halls. The torture was finally over. and privileges such as open campus and driver ' s ed had arrived. Selecting coarses seemed easier because a wider variety was made available. The maiority of sophomores produced schedules consisting of classes such as geometry. biology. and Western C1v1l1zat1on. among many others. Fortunate sophomores who met the requirements of a specific cut-off date were able to begin driver's ed. while others were forced to either wa it until Junior year of take private lessons. The only remaining dilema for sophomores was the fact that they were still considered underclassmen. However. receiving the title of upperc I ass men gave them something to look for ward to. for they knew that 1t didn't lie very far ahead. Sophomores find that making friends becomes easier and easier as the years progress. Students find time to during lunch or before and after school to visit with friends and make plans for the weekend. , f ' After hours of tiresome dancing, sophomores race for the Pepsi machine in the far end of the cafeteria.

All class levels participated in the elections and chose Joy Grossberg and Anthony lrpino. The Real Thing They entered their assigned rooms, not fully aware of the task being undertaken. As they sat down and checked in, the tension grew. Then they received their test booklets and answer sheets. While taking out their #2 pencils, sophomores listened to the instructor explain the directions for taking the PACT. Most students hadn 't anticipated the level of intensity for the test. The examination lasted three hours, and began with questions pertaining to the student's personal background and study habits. The test then progressed to the harder questions, which dealt with English, Math, Reading Comprehension, and Science. As the hours passed, students felt drained . "The test was so long that by the t ime I r eached the last part. my mind was like a mashed potato,'' said Karin Much. Some spent most of their time rereading the information given, while others randomly filled in ovals. After completing the PACT, sophomores had strong feelings about the changes they would like to see in the test. According to Yvonne Barazi, "They should have split it into two separate tests, or at least had five minute breaks between each part." Elizabeth Holden added, " They should consider that just sophomores are taking the test and not make some of the areas, such as the science, so difficult." Marc Slutzky echoed the sentiments of many sophomores when he said, ''They should eliminate the 'personality' questions, wh ich are pointless." Nevertheless, as juniors, these same students must face this challenge again, but then the test will really count.

Jimmy Johnson squirms in his seat anxiously watching the clock in anticipation of one thing - the weekend. A t ime for rest and relaxation, the weekend serves as two days of cherished freedom from the everyday drudgeries of school. Many students believe they can only survive five consecutive school days by knowing that they are sandwiched between the crusts of life. According to Junior Niki Antonakos, "On every Monday morning, I begin the countdown to the weekend. Being in school five days out of seven, those two free days are absolute paradise." Actually, the school week consists of only three days: Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Monday, also known as the day after the weekend, can be better described as a day of gloom, made bearable by remembrance of the days before. Offsetting the gloom of Monday and somehow balancing it, comes Friday. Also recognized as the day before the weekend, Friday means a day of cheerful anticipation for the days to come. Generally, the weekend serves as a time to indulge in the advantages of going to sleep late and waking up a half day later than usual. The other half day provides time to ponder idle thoughts or catch-up on homework neglected throughout the week. Frequently, students find themselves glancing at the clock and calculating what class they are missing at the moment. For most student, the escape of the weekend can't come soon enough, or last long enough. Every time the tension of school overwhelms students who think they can't go on, the knowledge that a weekend will come gives them the strength needed to survive. 65 �Sophs Get New Respect After surviving the grueling journey through freshman year, the sophomores find themselves in possession of a new status. Instead of occupying the lowest rank in the school, they have gained control of the low-but-higher-thanfreshmen status. Consequently they can walk confidently through the halls, knowing no one will mutter "freshmen " behind their back and get away with it. The sophomores also receive the privilege of cutting in front of the freshmen in the lunch line. At the "Freshmen-Sophomore Mixer," a social given to welcome freshmen, the sophomores like to try out their newfound "sophomoric powers" and practice being able to push the freshmen around after having been the "pushees." Aside from the mixer, other events and activities let the sophomores show their true colors. At pep assemblies, the sophomores join forces with the juniors and seniors in chanting "go home freshmen," and during Homecoming week the sophomores readily challenge any class to one of the games held during lunch mods because their school spirit has increased 100% since the year before. Even though the sophomores have to respect their elders, the juniors and seniors, they earn respect and flaunt their new status by playfully teasing the freshmen. A group of freshmen take a needed break at the Frosh-Soph mixer. The courtyard was made available to students who needed a place to take rest from the dance floor.

Sophomores 67 �Everlasting Legends Flinging pennies at freshmen .... the marketing of ''official" freshmen elevator passes .... thrusting freshmen into lockers .... or .... perhaps starting rumors about prominent teachers. These fascinating legends lurked in the halls of Niles West throughout the year. Passed from generation to the next, with new ones created every year. these myths appear indestructable. Seniors employed these myths to frighten underclassmen and prepare them for the years ahead. To upperclassmen, these myths provided something to look forward to and brought humor into the class when these tales appeared to have some truth. Junior Beatrise Revelins, on her experiences as a freshman, commented, "I knew they were totally false because students of previous graduating classes told me the truth." Many times these myths appeared fabricated and ridiculous in the cold light of reality. Originated in spite or just out of humor, they still prove popular among students. Making up a new tale, while explaining how they originated, junior Donna Wezio explains, "I think it was provoked by Nancy Reagan .. . . No .... perhaps Satan .... then it just became · convenient. Isn't that special?" In any case, for the future arrivals to Niles West these myths continue to be a tradition. So ... underclassmen, watch out! ... Because of the uncertainty about the truth of these legends, you'd better play it safe and believe them!

At 7:30, students return to the tedious world of school work and exams. In homeroom, probably the hardest part of the day to face because it's so early, students struggle to listen to the daily announcements half awake. Students still hear their ears ringing from the concert they attended Saturday night. "I'm lucky if I get to my classes on time on Monday mornings. When I do I end up falling asleep," states junior Danielle Singer. As lunch time approaches, students view the new week with more optimism because the day is half through. ''I look forward to lunch on Mondays because it gives me a much needed break," says Senior Ann Valenti. As the difficult challenge of surviving Mondays comes to an end at 2:40 many students have defeated the ever-so dreaded Monday morning blues. Sophomore Dana Mohrlein attempts to c<)flcentrate on school work after a fun-filled weekend .

Whether they liked it or not, many freshmen, unaccustomed to much discipline at their junior highs, may very well have been greeted with this statement within only a few weeks of their entering school. Freshmen most often complained about the lack of the benefit of the doubt extended to them by teachers when they lacked knowledge of the rules. Junior Scott Toban stated, "During one of the first weeks of school, I arrived a minute late. Thinking that late is late, I stopped at my locker before going to homeroom. When I showed up, I couldn't believe I had been given a detention for being over five minutes late." Regarding the intensity of change between junior high and high school rules, Mr. Zorn stated, "I teach eighth grade in my spare time, and I am often forced to remind my students that they had better prepare themselves for the transition to high school. Their behavior is often far below par." Certainly some pains must have been taken by freshmen to adjust their habits to high school rules. The problem of adjustment to the detention, mods, and closed hall system for freshmen was universal, yet hardly serious. More than anything else the change requires the student to adapt himself to a new and more demanding set of regulations, definitely an educational experience of sorts. Consequently, students should not have look upon this experience as something awful, but rather as an initiation into high school. Exchanging notes for Geometry class are sophomores Jin Kim and Steve Rudin. Students often turn to friends for extra help.

Freshmen eventually become accustomed to such rituals, knowing that one day their turn to sit in the senior section of the cafeteria will arrive. - ..... Freshmen Dozens after dozens of ; frightened. yet eager freshman faces scanned the unfamiliar hallways of Niles West. Incoming students were confronted with new faces. unaccustomed sounds. and a terrible case of the "high 1 school Jitters ... The very first thing that freshmen learned in high ; school was that 1t 1s an en- ' tirely different experience from their grammar school years. More homework was I one of the many changes they discovered . Students ; now had to set aside more 1 time for homework and · studying . An increased effort was found to be a necessity• for ac <i rlemir success. Freshmen also found it d1ff1cult to adapt to a larger school. Happenings such as sporting events. school plays. and of course . the : Freshman-Sophomore Mixer . helped students to break the ice and meet new people. As the year progressed . freshmen found themselves feeling more c omfortable with the school environment rather than feeling pressured by 1t. Many close and · intimate friendships developed among students . and previous fears disappeared. Freshmen became accustomed to a new way of life . and the "high school Jitters " slowly faded away . Gym classes are an entirely different experience for freshmen compared to the gym classes offered at their junior highs. A freshman student finds the equipment in the gymnastics room to be rather entertaining. The Frosh-Soph Mixer provides students with their first taste of high school dances. Many intimate friendships develop that are sure to last throughout high school. 76 Division-Freshmen �Freshmen Earl Worthmann and Theresa Danguilan share an intimate dance at the Frosh-Soph Mixer. The Frosh-Soph Mixer is an important event for incoming students because it is their first high school dance. Division-Freshmen 77 �On The Line For the fifth time that evening, the telephone rang and Suzy Ayerhead leaped up to answer it. Like the rest of the calls t hat night. it came from one of her friends calli ng to make plans for the forthcoming weekend, compare homework, or just gossip. Many students like Suzy employed t he telephone to enhance both their social and academic lives. "Nearly every night, I talked on the phone about school, work, and various subjects," claimed Jeannine DiModica. Calling a classmate on the phone remai ned a convenient way to obtain help with homework. Marla Schrager added , "When I didn't understand my assignment. I usually called one of my friends, and they were able to teach me over the phone. " While many teenagers used the phone exclusively for their own needs, many employed it for emergency purposes. When running late, students found the phone a great way t o notify parents that they wouldn 't be arriving on time for their dinner or curfew. Because underclassmen lacked driver's licenses, they often needed to call home to ensure a ride from after school activities. Since its invention in 1876, by Alexander Graham Bell, the telephone has become a vital part of many lives. Because of the phone's convenience and easy access, many students relied upon it for personal, academic, and emergency purposes. By using the phone, communication was as simple as pushing seven buttons. n Deepa Achettu Alonso Acosta Vicky Adam Marale Adjemian Eric Alper Dawn Angus ..., .

Freshmen 79 �Moving To The Top Clothing fashions, cars, and hairstyles change from year to year, unlike the ways of freshmen and sophomores. The freshies , young people with an expanding set of values, rules, and responsibilities, now become part of something entirely new, high school. High school seems so appealing and different from grammar school, and the academics and new friendships become more exciting. The mysteries of algebra reveal themselves problem by problem , and English class explores the family feuds in Romeo and Juliet. The sophomores, a more mature group of underclassmen , begin approaching new experiences, such as geometry and other sophomore level classes. With their new status of "nonfreshmen, " they begin to walk down the halls with their heads held high. The worries of pennies being thrown their way no longer exist, for soon they will reach the title of "Upperclassmen. " The freshmen and sophomores learn and mature, growing physically and mentally during the years of being an "Underclassmen" on their way to earning the prized designation of "Upperclassmen.''

Invariably, the revised policies and student behavior seem longer and much more severe. Inappropriate behavior, dress codes, parking regulations, off campus rules, and grounds for detention are always revised when students receive a new edition of the guidebook. "I don't think it's fair to give a student a Saturday detention simply because he/she doesn't carry his l.D.," stated Luey DiCeasar. Most students agree that rules remain necessary, but should be enforced less severely. "Getting a detention for walking in the door after 7:30 a.m. just isn't fair," pouted Toni DiModica. Students would much rather prefer rules that were made by class-elected representatives to assure fairer treatment. Sophomore Matt Toarmina declared, "Students should make their own rules if they decide to follow any at all." Extra help from a teacher is often required when students have difficulties with school work.

With eyelids half shut. still groggy from sleep (or lack of it), and tired of being dragged out of bed before the sun even rises, they endured the years at West. But being in school wasn't as dreadful as it may have seemed. Amidst the term papers and constant exams, the happy memories sometimes got pushed aside and forgotten. Those treasured moments of binding friendships, footba l l games, school activities, and intellectually stimulating classes, often became overlooked. People's lives were too chaotic and hectic to take time out for joyous recollections. But while students pounded chemica l formu las and historical events into their minds, they also left a little space to save a few good memories for the future. Take heed. One chilling, gray day in the future, when high school has long since passed , a former Niles West student sitting on a park bench feeding pigeons may remember those four years spent in high school. He won't recall the early mornings or homework overload, but instead the memories of good times and friendships. What is the happy grin for???

The fire alarm sounds as NiWeHi students, taken by surprise, rush out the doors. Whether in the midst of a stimulating lecture or eating lunch, students always respond the same way. They fi le out the doors, wondering about the cause of the disruption. Fire drills teach students how to respond in an emergency. In case of a real fi re or bomb threat, knowing how to act could save many lives. While the classroom learning process may be halted, the emergency knowledge gained is indispensable. Sometimes, however, students pull the alarm as a 86 Freshmen prank, needlessly causing much extra expense to the school and disrupting school progress. No matter whether the alarm is genuine or fa lse, the firemen can be counted on to show up and the school must pay. In good weather, fire drills may serve as a time and place for students to socialize and enjoy the fresh air. On the other hand , in rainy or snowy weather, students would rather avoid them. Christina Gabriel summed up the attitude of most students about fire alarms, saying, " My feelings about them depend on what class I miss.

The goal of attaining 100 pints of blood was reached with ease as donors eagerly swarmed the Oakton Lobby to give blood . Most of the donors were senior students, but anyone fitting the age, weight, and health requirements was permitted to give blood. ··1 was pleasantly surprised to find out how easy it was to give blood. And contrary to what I thought, I felt fine afterwards, " said Mrs. Horwitz of the blood draining process. Donating a pint of blood was a small part of her contribution toward the success of the Blood Drive. Mrs. Horwitz along with Mr. Boevers was involved with organizing the Blood Drive. By the end of the day, not only was the sponsor's goal fulfilled , but the donors themselves felt a sense of a ccomplishment. Life Source expressed their thanks to those who gave blood with twinkies and pins declaring each as a humanitarian for the day.

An Educational Evening For one night in the year, West served as the center of all excitement in the Chicagoland area. Cars jammed the school lots, and people packed the hallways, while helicopters landed on the front lawn. Parents and students were not enjoying a night's entertainment, but rather were participating in a rare opportunity to find out about colleges and universities across the nation. 126 College Night For the diverse needs of the students, College Night offered over 300 choices for post-high school planning, the largest such representation Niles Township has presented. These alternatives included nationally revered schools, state schools, schools for the Arts, private schools, and religiously oriented schools. Programs were also presented by the Armed Forces, the Paris American Academy from France, and our own Oakton Community College. Happy with the program of College Night, Junior Lenny Katz said, "I thought College Night was a great success from the standpoints of the overwhelming amount of universities attending, and the great amount of families who benefitted extremely. However, I thought it should have lasted longer." Junior Shirley Choi summed-up the value of College Night. " It's good, because you get a chance to talk to the college representatives.

The purpose of the mixer was for the more than 300 attending to attempt the nearly impossible task of meeting all the others. The theme was Woodstock, and the common dress was the latest style of tie-dyed shirts. To liven up the party, some sophomores wore togas. Doughnuts were served as refreshments , and as a break from the dancing, the people went into the courtyard and chatted with old and new found friends.

Whether they drive or run, the third tardy usually means a detention. The freshman dream is to drive to school senior year, leaving the house five minutes before school starts. This happy thought is all that gets them through those long, cold winter mornings waiting for the bus. Did you ever wonder, though, about why those seniors often drive up before the buses even arrive? No, they aren't crazy. It's that mad competition for a parking space. Only a sadder but wiser senior can tell you the horrors of trying to run from the far end of the parking lot to homeroom in two minutes. Maybe after an experience like that you freshmen wouldn't leave the house five minutes before school starts, either. Still, many seniors would die without their cars. Though driving is the preferred way to go, many other means of transportation exist. Some students live close by. Others can't get the family car and would die before taking the bus. In either case, students may choose to walk to school every day, and the bicycle racks are often full. Those affluent students whose parents approve may even ride a scooter to school. When all else fails, students still shouldn't give up hope. They can often count on parents for a last minute ride in an emergency. Still, to all who dream of driving up in a Lamborghini or a Porsche, dream on: you never know when your dreams may come true! Keith Kleiner peers cautiously over his motorcycle, carefully parking it to avoid damage. Motorcycles are one form of transportation.

The King and Queen proudly lead the Homecoming procession followed by their court and the marching band. Thundering drums and crashing cymbols dominated the grey October day. Blowing in the breeze, strands of toilet paper and shreds of newspaper marked the parade route. Student Union, the class cabinets, and various ethnic clubs worked together by sponsoring floats, and promoting spirit. Exploding with enthusiasm, the spirit committees: Porn Pons, Cheerleaders, and Midnight Riders lead cheers which echoed throughout the parade. The Orchestra, "noted" for its elaborate floats won first place in the traditional float competition. For the second year, Students Against Drunk Driving contributed to the festivities with their lifesaving theme float.

When the parade reached its end, Indian spirit raged as the war-painted Niles West tribe, hungry for a victory, made its way to the stadium. The Homecoming Parade captured the intense excitement of the students and the community as all anticipated the big game. �The Senior Midnight Riders show their spirit while riding on their garbage truck through the parade.

Although the majority of the couples were juniors and seniors, there were many underclassmen there also. 140 Homecoming Dance �Throwing "The" Ball "Adventures in Dining" performed for nearly two hours to make Homecoming 87' unforgettable. Student Union scored when they ''Threw The Ball" for their eager, enthusiastic fans! As couples filed in for the final Homecoming activity, they saw a gym transformed into a grand ballroom. Ball masks and brightly colored steamers lined the walls to complete the ballroom theme. Some couples boogied to the beat of "Adventures in Dining", while others waited in line to have a photographer take a memorable por- trait of them. While the band took their break, the couples chatted about dinner plans, carriage rides, and romantic prospects for the evening. Others took advantage of the hors d' oeuvres table, which consisted of carrot sticks, vegetable dip, and miniature club sandwiches. Returning to the edge of the dance floor, the couples watched as the Queen, Joy Grossberg and King, Anthony lrpino danced to the theme from "Dirty Dancing" marking the highlight of the evening. In addition to upperclassmen, many freshman and sophomores attended the festivities. One underclassman, Stephanie Israel, exclaimed, " If all the dances at Niles West are this great, I'm in for an exciting four years! " As the ball neared its end, couples gathered their belongings, found their friends, said their goodbyes, and headed for an equally exciting night on the town! Karla Bruno and Debbie Wojtalik head for their respectiv e dates at the Homecoming Dance. Much preparation by Student Union provided tor a great evening.

While unexpectedly playing the lead, Arthur was also the student director. 142 Musical �I " Kevin Steele rehearses for the musical "Bye-Bye Birdie" after school. Many long hours were put in to make the show a success. A ''Good Time'' Production Returns When "Bye-Bye Birdie" first hit the Broadway scene in the early 1960's, the nation greeted the show as a "good time" production with cheerful songs and an energetic cast that would keep a smile on one's face until the night was over. Now. some twenty-seven years later, Conrad Birdie and the town of Sweet Apple, Ohio have been reborn on the Niles West stage as the premiere production of the school year. The musical opens with Birdie, senior Matthew Winer, a rock star modeled after the late Elvis Presley, being drafted into the army. Upon hearing this, the millions of female teenagers who love this man with a passion prepare to secede from the Union. Albert Peterson (originally to be played by junior Carl Helwing, whos unfortunate illness resulted in director Arthur Tiersky's takeover of the role) , Birdie's songwriter who practically survives on his star's career, does not know how to handle the drafting situation either. His faithful secretary, Rose Alvarez (senior Lisa Lasowski) comes up with a plan to send Birdie away happily while still in the hearts of girls everywhere. Birdie will perform Albert's latest song, "One Last Kiss," on the Ed Sullivan Show the night before he leaves for the army. When he is finished singing he will plant one final kiss on the lips of Kim Macafee, (senior Joy Grossberg) cho- sen at random from a selection of Birdie's greatest fans. Along the way, the characters experience fights, disagreements, and hilarious misunderstandings that lead to the happy ending. Major cast members also included junior Kirsten Gieler as Albert's obnoxiously domineering mother; juniors David Lieb and Amy Flack as Kim's conservative parents; senior Wendy Doyle as Kim's sister; and junior Yuri Keegstra as Hugo Peabody, the jealous boyfriend. For the third year in a row, the student steering committee chosen to direct this annual production decided to perform a pre-written show rather than an original story. Stated senior director Arthur Tiersky, "The shows chosen for this production in the last two years have required an amount of thinking about strange underlying morals. This year, we all wanted a change, and 'ByeBye Birdie,' one of my alltime favorite shows, was my first choice all along." Fun and games didn't occur all the time, however. Everyone on the committee believed that they cast roles extremely well, but when lead Carl Helwing had to back out, many thought disaster might strike. Senior co-orchestral director Joel Dalinka related , " The last few weeks of rehearsal, I was scared that the show might not come together as well as past shows have; I am elated that I have been proven wrong!" Musical 143 �Back To School One Wednesday evening, October 28, at approximately 7:30 p.m. , it happened again. School commenced for the second time that day, but not for the students. Hundreds of parents of Niles West students swarmed the hallways to endure the obstacle course of their child 's schedule. That night was the 30th annual Open House. Open House gave parents the opportunity to personally meet and talk to their child's teachers. During each shortened class, parents listened to short lectures on the course curricu- lum and content. Curious parents could ask questions about the student's progress in the class or about the class itself. Unlike students, parents didn't have to attend study halls and physical education classes. Instead they walked aimlessly around the school peeping in rooms or proceeding to the cafeteria for refreshments and observing displays. Student representatives of numerous clubs such as sports teams, special interest clubs and student government anxiously waited to answer parents' questions. In addition to Counselor Tom Meyer talks with a parent during the Open House. The Niles West faculty was on hand to answer any questions. and keep the night running smoothly. · 144 Open House cafeteria displays, parents could see other exhibits on Niles West life after school situated throughout the building. The art center presented an art demonstration and slide show in the display case. While orchesis performed in the dance studio , thespians rehearsed ' 'Bye Bye Birdie" in the auditorium. Gym teachers led a formal discussion about fitness in the Gymnasium while the Board of Education spoke about the Illinois State Report Card in room 016. Cheerleaders Lena Quilici and Angela Hanga take a break from assisting lost parents at the open house. Students also attended to help parents find their son 's/ daughter's classes. �The Niles West Concert Orchestra performs for parents attending t he Open House.

"Halloween comes but once a year and I enjoy dressing up", said Senior Ross Fischoff who has been a dedicated Halloweener for four years. Many students enjoy dressing up, but "the students who don't dress up are the ones who miss out". stated Senior Brad Carstens. Many of the students who do dress up in cos- tumes, trick-or-treat during the day, while others tricker-treat well into the night. After school, students prepare for the night time festivities. Costume parties, the most popular type of party on Halloween, require a lot of work. Lots of time also goes into the costumes which may need hours of sewing and face painting. " Bombing" , another favorite activity of some students, requires a heavy stock of eggs, shaving cream, and toilet paper since to achieve the objective of "bombing" one must smother others with these materials without becoming a victim first. Is Halloween really scary? Many students would deny that they are afraid , but they won't be seen crossing the path of a black cat, visiting a graveyard, or trick-or-treating past midnight. \ Showing real school spirit, an unknown NiWe Student parades around school on Halloween. There were a variety of costumes displayed on October 31st. Halloween 147 �Prisoners of the wicked witch in her gingerbread house are Hansel and Gretel, played by Adam Telengater and Laila Stein. Fairy Tale Delights Audience "Don't trust strangers," is the archetypal theme of the children's theater presentation , "Hansel and Gretel." This classic story of two lost young children, who come across a gingerbread house in the woods and end up prisoners of a wicked witch, succeeded greatly, bringing in full houses for the two afternoon performances and a half-full house for the Saturday show. Students from thirty-five schools came to see the show during the day-time showings. 148 Children's Theater The enthusiastic cast, headed by skillful direction of Cynthia Philbin, consisted of sophomore Adam Telengater as Hansel, junior Laila Stein as Gretel, and sophomore Jennifer Collins as the Witch. Other cast members included freshmen Barbara Bouboutsis, Julie Doyle. Kelly Hogan, Davita Levin and Kim Lowenthal, sophomore Karen Guthrie, junior Carl Helwing, and senior Wendy Doyle. Describing the difficulties and pleasures of performing for young children, Telengater commented, "You have to capture them, which I think we did in the first few scenes. Then they really respond well. " Sophomore Jennifer Collins shared the delight. "Working with kids was really fun; it was great to see how they reacted." Before the show began. an innovative skit. called Etiskit, performed by Katy Born, Joel Dalinka, Joy Grossberg, Lisa Lasowski, Matthew Winer, and Arthur Tiersky, who also wrote and directed the piece, received rave reviews. Etiskit showed the young children in the audience how they should behave during the performance talking about gum chewing, applause, and when to get up during the show. According to enthusiastic audience member sophomore Nicoletta Harris, "The scenery was magnificent, the singing was superb, and the audience was truly involved." �Hansel and Gretel get down on their knees. hoping and wishing for a way out of the witch's gingerbread house.

West Groups Perform At Fiesta Bowl. "Attend Hut! . .. , .. . GO!. Parade Rest! ... , ... UGH! " No, this is not about going to the army, but about being a member in the marching band. The marching band, directed by William Koch, diligently worked on their marching techniques from the hot. scorching days of August to the cool, shivering nights of October, in order to prepare a show that was to be watched by millions. The occasion, the "Sunkist Fiesta Bowl Parade." Last May, the band accepted their invitation to play in the Fiesta Bowl, in Phoenix, Arizona on New Year's Day , 1988. Many hours were put into making this tour a success. All of the fundraising, arranged by Mrs. Fern Katz. had to be fin- ished by December 1, 1987, and early deadline which meant everyone had to work fast. Also attending the festivities were the colorguard, pom-pon, and cheerleading squads. All of this adding up to one of the largest and most expensive tours ever held. But. not to fear. As for the money. the band was lucky to once again have the support of Mrs. Fern Katz. With her complete dedication to the band , she was able to help students nearly split in half the original cost, from $570 per person to $275 per person. She overall helped the students to raise a total of $45,000. But, the money was just one of the main concerns. Now, the numerous hours had to be spent on perfecting music, marching in step, and looking their best. This was accomplished under the direction of Mr. Koch and his wife, who was also the Colorguard instructor. The tour took place from December 28th and continued into New Year until the third of January. Due to the inclement weather on Monday. the students were forced to fly out of Chicago the following morning. The band lost many hours of practice time due to the delay, but spirits were kept up. They arrived in Phoenix that Tuesday afternoon and everyone was anxious to get started. "We missed about fifteen hours of rehearsal , but that only made us work twice as hard in the short- ened time that was given to us, stated clarinet player Suzy Bohigan. The four mile parade down Central Avenue excited everyone. "When I saw the people along the sides of the streets. it was in serious numbers, like 300,000 people. We're used to marching down Oakton Street where people are there because they just happen to be," commented another clarinet player David Steiner. This recognition and success has brought a smile not only to the band, but to the members of the community. "It was great to see everyone (local businesses) care whether we could go. Tour 151 �Spanish Club Visits. Day Care Center The Casa Central Day Care Center was filled with Niles West students as well as little children one December afternoon. No, the students did not need supervision or parental guidance, but they did feel the need to spread some holiday cheer. The day care center had been visited by the Spanish Club for a number of years, and this year's club did not end the tradition. Sponsored by Mrs. Georgiev and Miss O'Reilley, the Spanish Club trekked to Casa Central with about a dozen of its members. Careful planning went into the afternoon's schedule, filled with all the old games learned in fourth grade . The bunny hop, for example, progressed almost to perfection, but its tricky footwork caused the students and friends some problems.

Suddenly, a spotlight illuminated the stage and the dancers appeared. The audience applauded as the opening number commenced. The midwinter show consisted of 156 Orchesis twenty-two different numbers varying from jazz to ballet based upon different types of music which ranged from Michael Jackson's "Bad" to the more balletic style of "Arthur's Theme". Members of the company choreographed the various dances and alumni-sponsor Gretchen Galder took charge of the overall direc- tion of the production. The show differed from past years in that it contained a special number for the twelve senior members leaving the company. Sponsor Gretchen Glader voiced regrets about have a senior dance, saying, "I can't stand seeing all the dancers I' ll be losing next year at one time." Finally, the dancers each took their bows to the tune of "Dancing in the Street", and ran into the aisles, still dancing with the same energy and enthusiasm that filled the show. The two hours of entertainment came to an end as the dancers concluded their performance and the curtain closed behind them. �"Late Night With the Orchesis Dance Co. concludes with a dramatic pose. ending another year of hard work and determination.

Banks Praises King When one envisions a man who fought for the equality and freedom of all people, Martin Luther King immediately comes to mind. No other man is so universally known as the crusader of justice. King spent much of his life promoting the welfare of his people and the rights of all those whose rights had been ignored. Unfortunately, few of his accomplishments were recog- nized until after his death. On January fifteenth, West held an assembly honoring King. The guest speaker, Dr. Lacy Banks, gave an eloquent address describing Martin Luther King as the true king, one who contributed greatly to the cause of his people. Unlike other kings who have come and gone, Martin Luther King made a difference in the lives of those who followed him. He gave his life fighting for a cause he believed in. Having helped his people, King died a satisfied man. Dr. Banks advised students to devote a few moments thinking about King's accomplishments in the field of human rights. Students left the assembly feeling love towards all of mankind and respect for a great man Dr. Martin Luther King. -Martin Luther King Assembly 159 �Spaghetti Serenade What a better way to spend a chilly February night than to eat to the heart's content with beautiful music playing in the background.

Eleven fresh players entered the field as the platoon system hit Niles West. The new .system gave the team twentytwo starters, eleven on offense and eleven on defense. Coach Richardson employed the platoon to keep players from tiring out, while allowing more partici- pation . The system also allowed injured players to be more easily replaced , with specialists at every position. The varsity squad adapted to the system well, despite early losses to state powerhouses New Trier and Evanston. The Indians put it together in game three with a solid victory over Maine East, 26-13. Although the Indians encountered other rough losses, including Homecom- ing, the team remained hopeful and played to the final minute. With more players coming out in the summer, the platoon system will give the football program a great boost. Each year the presence of more returning players with varsity experience and a greater number of students playing will result in a powerful Indian squad for years to come. is Getting a well-deserved break _ Leo Gubenko.

Although these apparatus required a great deal of energy while bordening on tedium, they greatly enhanced the skills of the underclass teams. The season began early each day for the sophomores and freshman with 7:30 a.m. double practice sessions that lasted until 1:00 p.m. Many valuable lessons and ideals learned by the young gridders stemmed from these grueling workouts. The sophomores opened the year winning two of their first three games. Following the Varsity coaching strategy, coaches Murphy and Schmidt employed the platoon system to the fullest. The sophomores, already acquainted with the system. will enter junior year as we lcome additions. Besides getting a taste of the game, the freshmen learned to enjoy the competition and camaraderie of high school football. The combinat ion of new talent and hard work in the underclass level makes the future look good for Niles West.

"During the early and midseason we didn't play well and had trouble getting motivated, but towards the end of the season we started to play up to our potential. " commented Kim McAllister. Victories over Niles North at home on cable, close games with Deerfield, beating St. Scholastica in the regionals, and having a great final game against Evanston highlighted the season for the team . Coach Paula Sfickas stated "Although the team record may not show we had a successful season, the progress and teamwork showed by the team made it a winning season for me.

Kickers' Spirit Never Lost Kicking off the soccer season with four returning starters led Coach Brennan to have an optimistic outlook for the season. The team began to practice in August and continued the who le season. The Indi ans' first and toughest competition was in the Zeedyk Tournament which found them facing the best teams in t he Chicagoland area. Although the Indians lost to Hoffman Estates 2-0, and Gordon Tech 4-2, the Indians cha llenged every team by putting pressure on them the entire game. According to Coach Brennan, " We were always in every game, yet a step behind at the final buzzer. The reason is our players do not start playing soccer until high school, while other 180 Soccer areas begin at an earlier age." A new addition to the coach ing staff this year was Coach Melnick, who in his earlier years played soccer for the Indians. He was a real asset to the team by preparing them for the games. Two senior soccer players related their opinions about why t he team had not realized its goals this year. As John Puljic stated, " We had a lot of individual talent but it did not come together as a unit." Ray Castro added, "One of our major problems was lack of communication on the field and not enough movement. ' ' One thing was for sure: win, loose, or tie, the soccer team played each game with spirit and always tried to put their best "foot" forward. �Senior Alex Kogan fights for control of the ball during a conference game against Glenbrook South.

Soccer 18 1 �Surpassing Swimmers' Success From the hot summer mornings of August, to the cool windy evenings of November , the girls' swim team took charge of their season. Though there might not have been a powerful girls' swim team these last few years, this fall a handful! of individuals proved the season a worthwhi le one. Key swimmers for the Indians included senior varsity capta in Wendy Martin who, despite her bad shoulder, pulled through the season in the 200 Medley relay, 100 Fly, and 200 l.M. Senior Mary Theodore, also a main swimmer, took good care of the 200 yard free and 500 yard free. Junior Patty Tzortzis excelled considerably by switching over to the sprints. "I'm very happy that coach Lucas agreed to put me in the freestyle sprints. The 200 yard free and the 500 yard free seemed to be a little bit too long for me. As I've been told by coach Lucas time after time, when they make up a 150 yard freestyle event, I 'II be the first to sign up, until then, I'm going to stick with anchoring the Medley relay, and swimming the 50 yard and 100 yard free." Two key swimmers were newcomers this year. Niles North transfer Miki Vucic, a junior, .earned many points for the · Indians in the 200 Medley relay, 200 Individual Medley, and the 100 Fly. Sophomore Jessica Western also gave the team an extra boost in the 200 Medley relay and the 100 breastroke. Practices were led by assi·stant coach Jodi Nebbia, who made sure everyone 182 Girl"s Swimming started by 3:00 p.m. Practice usually consisted of a warm up, some sprints, long distance, and a cool down, which roughly averaged to 5000 yards a day. "Since our yardage has slightly increased from last year, I feel that it has given the team an extra push towards the winning way," stated sophomore Joan Jovero. Jovero helped considerably in the 200 yard and 500 yard freestyle, and is a second year member of the varsity team. She concluded, "I feel our team was better organized due mostly to our coaches and to our three outstanding captains, seniors Wendy Martin, Mary Theodore, and junior Marny Pierini. They helped make sure our practices were always challenging, enjoyable, and most importantly, worthwhile. Diving coach Louis Torrez once again proved to have a successfu l season with his divers. Return ing to the team were juniors Marnie Malnekoff and Annette Polek. Senior Dawn Jacobs, the diving team's newest addition, helped the team not only with her outstanding performance, but also with her encouraging spirft. One diver to look out for in the upcoming seasons will be freshman Nicki Gardner. Gardner competed both on the varsity level and the junior varsity level. Overall, the swimming team and diving team have been breaking barriers in all of their set goals. They hope to keep up the number of swimmers and plan to take charge again, next September .

"Come on down," the spectators cheer as Steve Rosen makes his pass in front of his opposition. Not only is Rosen a speedster in cross country, but he also participates in track. In the lead, Steve Rosen finally made his way. A good pace, a good pair of running shoes, and a lot of suffering put him in front. Accelerated Abilities The cross country season got off to a slow start but gradually stabilized. In the pre-season, three members quit, ruining an almost definite conference title. But due to hard work and dedication, the team pulled together and did their best. Led by junior Marty Bach and senior Steve Rosen the team placed much higher in meets than expected. At conference time, Bach had run 15: 19 for three miles, making him the favorite for first place. Bach ended up second after giving his all. Ro sen was expected to place in the top seven to be all conference , and ended up with a ninth place finish. In the summer, the team started working double practices along with running road runs to prepare for the season. With the help of other runners including senior Bryan Mittleman and juniors Ken Smith , Tim Hieber, and Keith McMath, the team held it's own. The freshman and sophomore teams were led by Brian Moreth and Oscar Palacios. Both runners led their teams on to wins and were occasionally moved up to the varsity or sophomore levels. With wind blowing through their hair, toes pointed in the air, and time running, Brian Morreth and his opponents try to out run one another. Morreth's superior skills come through again as he wins the race.

Girls' Cross Country streaks across fields, leaving opponents behind . . . · Runners are a unique breed because of tough training and intense competition. To be the best, a runner must develop her stamin a until everyone else breathes in her dust. The Girls' Cross Country Team realizes this, and they act on it. To get in running shape, they do different types of workouts and run 5 to 7 miles a day. Their 5-1 conference record and 13-1 record in duel meets illustrate their dedication and ability. Of all of Niles West's fall Varsity Teams, Girls' Cross Country boasts the best record. Coach Judy Sloan summarized the teams efforts, "Our team was smaller this year, because a lot of the kids that came last year dropped-out. Considering this, we 've had a wonderful year. The JV and Freshmen were fantastic. We won meets, and we did 100% better than I thought we would." Despite the energy and force that Girls' Cross Country exemplified during the season, "West Word" failed to acknowledge the magnitude of their success. Although disappointed by the lack of coverage by the newspaper, the girls rea lized that they were running for themselves, and not for fame or praise. For Debbie Pozdol, running makes her feel great. ''Cross Country is like a team spirit, even though you run individually." Halina Orawiec added, "We feel like a family. It's exciting!" Mrs. Sloan pointed a picture of the girls in Cross Country. " It's easy to quit, but I'm proud of the girls who stayed. I wish more kids would join and see how talented they are, because it rea lly is a great sport."

Even though this season turned out below Head Coach George Gallas expectations, he still stated, " I was pleased with t he showing in the regionals, and I was happy to see the team capable of competing with other schools." Just because the fina l season scores were not that impressive, t he team members did not lose fa ith. Nick Stratigakes added, "We have a good young team but we need more players to build a real good team ."

The Indians maintained an even record in conference play 4-4. Senior players Debbie Berman, Sabina Puthuseril, Meena Revella and Sue Chung brought experience to the court. During the season , the Indians hosted an invitational tournament which included Deerfield and Highland Park. The Indian players finished third and fourth in this tournament. Team Captain Debbie Berman thought she would have been a more qualified player if Niles West had had a Varsity tennis team during her underclass years. She would have had a goal to aim for. According to Nancy Penn, next year's capta in , "The team played hard, never gave up and looks forward to a great year."

The varsity team also captured the conference and regional titles winning the 16 Team Glenbrook South Invite and taking second place in the Leyden Tournament. The Indians also claimed four regional champions: John Lee , 105; Greg Rudin, 112; Scott D'agostino, 126; Angelo Tsagalis, HVWT. The following placed second in regionals : Mark Tadelman, 119; Preston Clark, 138; Mike Gershbein, 167; and Mike Nauman , 155; Brett Youstra, 145; and George Santillian, 132, placed third. At the teams sectional at Leydan, the Indians fell short of the State Tournament, losing to the sixth ranked Lake Park Lancers, by the slightest of margins. Rudin, Lee, and D'Agostino advanced to the IHSA state tournament held in Champaign, Illinois. As a junior, Rudin had placed fourth in the State Tournament, but, in his Senior year he missed a good portion of the season battling mononucleosis. Eventually he recovered and took third place in the State Finals. Senior ·Preston Clark stated, "We all worked hard and achieved the goals that we set forth." Sophomore Coach Bob Porter summed up the season with a final word, "It was a great season, we had 9 out of 12 wrestlers selected for allconference, it was a whole team effort."

Wrestling 193 �• Conference Title Won Jubilant voices rang through Niles West when the Varsity and JV Wrestling teams won their eighth conference title in nine years. Although the JV team didn't receive nearly as much credit as the Varsity, much of the Varsity's success was due to an excellent JV program. Grueling practices with Varsity and utilization of all age levels contributed to the success of this crew of JV wrestlers. Despite the JV's constantly changing lineup, the nucleus of the boys included Nasser Amer, Pablo Blanco, Kevin Han.sen, Ed Lee, Rory Selman, Scott Sharpiro, and Larry Wishnick. Often due to a lack of wrestlers in a particular weight class, the team would have to forfeit two matches per meet. "Even when we gave the opposition an edge by forfeiting two weights, we still destroyed them " , said Pablo Blanco. Most importantly, the JV team gave wrestlers the valuable experience to one day wrestle varsity and carry on a great wrestling tradition. Deciding about his next move, Mark Tadelman prepares to move in for the takedown. Although only a sophomore, Mark wrestles varsity.

Linda Steiner, who filled the fifth position , created havoc by shooting well from all over the floor. Besides displaying offensive prowess, the LadyIndians also presented an uncharitable defense, backed up by depth on the bench. Commitment characterized the great success of this team which practiced together in the off-season. Knowing each others playing abilities allowed the girls to use their strengths and weaknesses to produce a team victory. While the team's seniors received their fair share of playing time, Coach Earl also played girls from all age levels, giving them needed experience for the future.

Amazing Talents An amazing thing happened to wooden and metallic equipment when members of the Girls' Gymnastics Team performed . The hardware became a tool for the display of style, grace, and beauty. A flat mat became an ocean on which the girls danced and soared . On the bars and vault, the girls floated , turning flips as smoothly as dolphins in the sea. Although gy mna st i cs seems to be an individual sport, when competitions rolled around , all the individuals combined to form one powerful representation of the teamwork needed for success. The season went smoothly, with the team performing consistently and confidently. A tough loss to Highland Park was avenged at . the Conference Meet, where the team tied for second place. The season ended with a 6 win- 3 loss record, a "flip-flop " of last year's results and a " leap" of two places from fourth in the Conference. The strength of all four levels led the team to its winning record , and the promise of the freshmen and sophomores gives the team a chance to develop into a first rate competitor. With their outstanding performances, sophomores Laura Bowman and Barbara Kozlowski showed the bright future in store for the team. According to sophomore Sarah Harris, " There was a lot of team work, and we helped each other more." With such cooperation, dedication, and talent, the team seems ready to t ake on the world.

Girls Gymnastics 207 �Rollercoasting With The Gymnasts After a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs, the gymnastics season ended on a very disappointing note. Favored to win the CSL conference title and place in the top five of the state, the Indians missed both of these goals due to the crippling injury that Tom Joseph received at the end of the season. Pulling together, the team redeemed tl-:emselves by stealing the regional title from Highland Park, the conference champions.

The girls' soccer team participated in both games and tournaments. Kickers Reach The Top When thinking about a girls state soccer tournament, Niles West High School should ring a bell. For the first time ever in Illinois, the Illinois High School had sanctioned a girls state soccer tournament, and the IHSA chose Niles West to host it because in the past years, Niles West had organized a local tournament, consisting of teams in our division. Taking pride in the IHSA giving NiWeHi the honor of hosting the tournament , Varsity Coach Brennan stated , " We are the pioneer school of soccer, and I'm excited they chose our school for the first girls state soccer tournament in the history of Illinois." The decision also impressed the members of the varsity team. Senior player Karin Janessa commented, " As a four year member on the team, I take this decision as an honor. I'll always remember that IHSA chose my alma mater to hold the first girls state tournament." A great block is made by Kristina Lall while an opposing teammate stares in awe. Defense is one of the things that this team doesn't need to worry about. Girls' Soccer 217 �Not satisfied with the score, head coach Sfickas stares at her team on the field.

If our pitching can come through , we should have a winning season," said coach George Galla optimistically, hoping for a fourth straight conference title. Returning seniors David Neuhouser, Craig Harris, and Brian Israel were expected to start for the Indians, along with some work from junior Tony Stegich. The team cou ld have had a strong pitching staff if they fulfilled Coach Galla's expectations.

Baseball 221 �Practice Makes Perfect! The perfection of any sport requires many different elements, such as skill and determination. One element though stands out above the rest and that is practi ce. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Here at Niles West. practice plays an important role in all of the sports such as Football, Volleyball , Basketball, Wrestling, Baseball , and Track. Whether it is practicing shooting baskets , hitting baseballs, or catching passes any kind of practice is necessary . After school you can always find a team either inside or out practicing and perfecting their skills. You will find the baseball team outside on the field hitting balls, or the basketball teams inside shooting tree throws. Not only is practicing the basics of any sport but also in conditioning. The weight room is always filled with athletes building up their strength and stamina. Coaches are also always making sure that their team players are doing their situps, push-ups, and running laps . Conditioning is also a major necessity in practicing for a sport. Practicing for an upcoming event takes up more time than the actual event. This is why practice is so important. If a team practices hard, then eventually practice will make perfect. As George Langis brings the ball upfield the defense begins to take action.

The Hellenic Club continued with 6 years experience under the guidance of sponsor Mrs. Angie Panos, while the Korean Club, headed by Mrs. Angela Graham, and the Chinese Club, sponsored by Mrs. Carole Simone, began their second year of activity. Another ethnic group, the Filipino Club, also gained approval. Although these clubs represent students who come from different ethnic backgrounds, members shared the same reasons for establishing their clubs: the desire to develop a secure and friendly surrounding for students new to this country who might have problems communicating with peers, and also to help members maintain their ethnic identity. Throughout the year, these clubs sponsored various fundraisers including bake sales, taffy apples sales, and candy sales. The funds raised went to charities such as the Salvation Army and to people who needed money for serious illnesses. In return for these donations, the clubs gained experience in having meetings, organizing schedules, and balancing books. " It's a course in itself. Belonging to an ethnic club truly makes a better person out of you because you learn to deal with problems that could easily Jj occur in everyday life," stc;ited Filipino Club member Fehlyn Tulen. Each club also held activities such as dinners, field trips, picnics, volleyball games, and horseback riding. Sometimes two or more ethnic clubs joined in an activity in order to promote unity and avoid isolation from the rest of the school. Each of these ethnic clubs involved students who wanted to learn more about their own culture as well as the cultures of others, "Belonging to an ethnic club offers students a terrific experience in meeting new people and it brings them together where they can have fun , and share ideas," stated Korean Club member Judy Kim. \ Conducting the Korean club meeting, officers James Lee and Meehee Hong, offer suggestions of possible activities the club can hold.

A flawless performance is the result of continuous practice. The Varsity cheerleaders climb to great heights during a school pep assembly. 294 Checking Out Junior Ares Ebreo and date share a memorable evening at the Homecoming Ball. Couples from every class level attended. �Checking Out After lots of tiresome dancing, Pablo Blanco and Danielle Chams take a brief break. Their space on the dance floor awaits them to return. The mod 28 bell buzzed throughout the silent hallways of NiWeHi every weekday at 2:25 pm. Mobs of cheerful students filled the deserted halls as they "Checked Out" from their final classes. For a number of these students, the mod 28 bell meant running to catch the early bus, grabbing an after school snack in the cafeteria, going to a sport or club activity, waiting in front of room 140 to serve a detention, or rushing out of school in order to make it to their parttime jobs on time. As for the other less fortunate students, the mod 28 bell did not designate that it was time to "Check Out". They were forced to remain behind closed doors until 2:40, therefore the 2:25 bell only reminded them that they had 15 minutes left of class. Concentration was difficult for these students due to the constant disturbance of banging lockers, the roaring sound of engines running as classmates exited the parking lot, and other excess volume within the building. These deprived students who either had a lab or an art class envied the others who left at 2:25. "Having a class until the 29th mod tended to cause difficulties for the unfortunate students who had to catch the bus," stated Marny Pierini. Checking out at 2:40, or 2:25 if you're lucky, was actually a privilege that West students enjoyed. Other neighboring schools checked out of school as late as 2:50 pm., or even 3:30 pm! Despite the fact that classes ended at 2:40, that did not mean that the school doors closed . An abundance of students tended to leave school at a much later time. Being involved in a sport or club activity often meant remaining in the building for quite some time. Eventually, students did check out of school, but only to find themselves checking in again the next morning! Indians make it clear to all that they are #1. The Homecoming Parade was one of the greatest highlights of the entire week. "Senior, seniors, ... " chant Midnight Rider members Julie Wickell and Gabi Tomaclc. Once again, the seniors could be heard above all other class levels. Checking Out 295 �����CHECKING OUT CHECKING 1. On the last day of school I will ...

Meanwhile, other students are just their breakfast; they drive to school and have tage of leaving their houses at a later time. 7:05 a.m. Buses arrive at the building, dropping of their passengers. As students open doors t the building, their journey begins through day at Niles West High School. Students dis perse through the tri-level building and hea for their lockers. 7:10 a.m. Noise of lockers being opened and close4 awaken many students to the realization tha their school day has begun. They are now trav elling throughout the building to meet wit friends, eat breakfast, or to find a quiet spot fo last-minute studying. 7:15 a.m. Trying to find a parking space become more difficult as more and more student dri vers arrive at school. Teachers look over thei lesson plans, for they too must plan out th day. 7:30 a.m. The previously crowded halls, are sud denly empty for students are now in homeroom ready to begin their day. P.A. and homeroom announcements keep them informed of future events at West. 7:40 a.m. The bell rings ending homeroom, and the halls are once again filled with the noise of students meeting friends and rushing to their first class. Here begins the day's jowney ... This is a schedule similar to that of which each student encounters before classes begin. They travel on to various challenges in the classes that they have chosen. Although Academics play a large role in the life of every student, Clubs, Sports, Happenings and special friendships also add to a student's four years at West. The path through Niles West begins as a freshman, unsure of plans, and ends as a senior, well-prepared for the future.

After three-hundred minutes of listening to lectures, note-taking, and tests, the last bell provides an escape out of the classroom atmosphere. For many students, after school means going home and watching t.v., meeting with friends, doing homework or sleeping. The day has been a long one and at home they can enjoy what is left of the afternoon. Work continues, when other students go directly to their jobs. Here students can use some of their skills learned at West and make some money. Various clubs, sports, and organizations keep many students after school ends. Here students meet other students with similar interests. Many after school hours are put in by faculty members to assist with a club or coach a team. These activities teach students beyond what classrooms can teach them. Here they learn to work with others to accomplish their. goals. While some would think that after school the building would be empty, it was not. There were many who stayed for the after school action. Everyone had to make choices and "map out" their after school priorities. - Below After school many students choose to take the bus and go directly home.

A custodian . attempts to reach the second floor the easy way. Numerous people came to the deserted high school with large machines and big plans, and took control. Sound like a bad script from an old "B" movie? Actually, this reference concerns the many workers who oversaw the renovations at Niles West. Electricians, general contractors, sheet metal workers, bricklayers, painters, window and heating specialists, and special security worked around the clock during the summer to complete the construction before the 1984-85 school year commenced. A week after school ended, Goebelt Construction began tearing down the walls. The pupose of this construction, decreasing the size and number of the windows of the school, was to conserve money and energy for heating. Construction workers labored all day, often working on the weekends to combat bad weather and other complications. The finishing touches weren't completed until the day before school started. According to junior Lisa Sandlow, "The hallways and classrooms were in complete chaos. No one believed that the construction would be finished by the time school began." : 20 Construction �./ .. • Many scaffolds were used to reach second and third floor windows. What a mess it was!

The seniors proved to the whole school that summer was still in their systems in September. Dressed in grass skirts, colorful flowered shirts, bright shorts and plastic leis, they let West "Go Hawaiian". Not only was the day fun, but it showed spirit and togetherness in the Senior Class. There were many different kinds of Hawaiians to be found around the school: cowboys Hawaiians, red and white faced Hawaiians, porn pon Hawaiians, cheerleader Hawaiians, conservative Hawaiians, and wild-outgoing Hawaiians. No matter what kind of Hawaiian there was, everyone knew he or she was a senior. When the school day of Friday, September 6th, ended, we may have felt our last warm breeze from Hawaii. (Until spring break, of course!) "Aloha" with a smile says senior Debbie Cohen, as she dressed up for the senior spirit day. 22 Hawaiian Day Emptying her locker, senior Lis;i"Coconato searches through the final pile of books.

Hawaiian Day 23 �After High •••••••••••, School The future. It has something different in store for each student. Some will join the Armed Forces, others will continue their education in college. Whatever their final decision, "College Night" is held to help students make the best possible choice. College Night began September 19 with an opening ceremony during which two military helicopters landed on Niles West's front lawn and the Navy band performed in the courtyard. At 7:30 p.m . College Night officially began. Representatives from 220 colleges were ready to answer questions, to distribute pamphlets discussing both the social and the academic aspects of their college, and to supply cards with which students could request applications and additional information. For the first time, students with a military career in mind had a chance to talk with spokesmen from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. From outward appearances, this was the most successful College Night ever held at Niles West. According to the police, approximately six thousand students and parents attended. Students also seemed to agree with this concensus. Junior Sunny Park commented, "It gave me .a chance to find out about new colleges and receive information about them." Marla Wilner, also a junior, stated, "It allowed me to become familiar with the schools and their requirements. I thought it helped a great deal." Organizing the signs used to identify colleges at College' Night is junior Sandy Huber. Without her assistance and that of other dedicated students, Coll~e Night would not have been a success. 24 College N ight �Hanging up college flags is Mr. Len Winans.

Both freshmen and sophomores participated in the dancing that night. Mixin' and matchin' took place at the Freshmen-Sophomore Mixer on September 21. The action began at 7:30 p.m. in the Ni-We-Hi cafeteria and courtyard. The mixer provided freshmen and sophomores the opportunity to meet new people, and enjoy an evening of dancing. Music by disc jockey Don Davis played all night long. "Davis got everyone to dance," said freshman Robert Keller. "It was amazing to see how many people showed up and had a great time," Keller added. Action was delayed for a few minutes when a fire alarm went off, but dancing resumed immediately as strong as ever. Hawaiian decorations created by the Sophomore Cabinet spruced up the cafeteria for the night. "A lot of us wore Hawaiian attire to go with the theme and create spirit," said sophomore Stevhanie Howard. Ice cream sundaes were devoured throughout the night of dancing and fun. "I met a lot of new people at the mixer, and everyone danced together showing the spirit and unity of Niles West," said freshman Susan Silverman. Record attendance proved the mixer to be popular, and a highlight of the underclassmen's calendar. After finishing the last dance, freshman Robyn Horowitz calls home to be picked up. Although some people went home, others went to the football game which was in progress at Basrak Field.

On Wednesday, October 10, with television cameras and newsmen in place, Bart came to talk to cheering girls and guys. The band played Olympic songs to welcome him. The "Star Spangled Banner" was sung by Mrs. Owens, the Niles West chorus instructor. As Bart entered the auditorium there were loud chants of "U.S.A.!" In his speech he told the audience about his great struggles and hardships. "You can't just assume something is going to happen, you've got to make it happen," stated Conner. After Bart Conner talked, he asked for questions from the audience. Many people wanted to speak but only a few were selected. The assembly included speeches by John Burkel and Bart's Olympic coach. They mentioned that Conner will be starring in episodes of "Love Boat," "Different Strokes," and "Highway to Heaven." To keep all entertained, Conner did a routine flip-flop which was a "crowdpleaser". Immediately following the assembly Conner met with selected people who had purchased his t-shirts. After that, he had a press conference with Dr. Ring and many others. When asked what his feelings were about returning to West, Bart answered, "It's so great to be back home!:' Coach) 15hn Burkel, one of the speakers at the assembly)lnd Conner's high school coach, says a few things about Bart.

Senior Gus Atsaves recalled, "I was scared, but very happy and excited." Due to unusual circumstances, the Homecoming game was played by soccer players instead of the traditional football team. Adding to the excitement, the Porn-Pon Squad danced to the rhythm of "5 Foot 2" , and the Marching Band played during an extended halftime.

This was the time when parents learned about their child's progress and saw some of the school classes and activities in progress. Parents walked, ran and got lost going through their child's daily schedule (shortened of course). School seemed so easy to parents when they were at home, but the minute they walked through the doors, they acted just like freshmen on the first day of school. Other parents who had been to Open House before took on the role of the "SURE SENIOR". These parentNi We Hi experts made it to all of their child's classes on time. Other parents lost in the hallways arrived to classes tardy after getting instructions from the cheerleaders who were the "guides for the evening". Some parents ended up very lost and did not make it to class at all. "Open House was a success," according to Publications Teacher Jerome Orr, "I had all of my classes packed with interested and caring parents." Although the school and hallways may have been a little different, parents discovered that school, teachers and classes never change. Health teacher George Galla talks to an interested par~ntABonpie Ta~elman about the health course. Parents were given the opportuni'i'y to as'k queshons m each of their child's classes. Leaders' gym members practice some wrestling holds at Open House. Many other activities were performed for ~rfn ts to view. 42 Open House �Coach Campbell and juniors Rocky Lee, Marsha Telengater, and Borpit Intawiwat represent cross country and track team~ at Open House.

Halloween spirit was apparent throughout the student body on this day of pumpkins, witches, goblins and ghosts. Originality and creativity went hand-in-hand as both students and teachers dressed according to this goulish day. " I had a lot of fun dressing up as a flasher and I had a even better time flashing people," stated senior Bob Kirchens. Along with many other seniors, he helped to spread the spirit of Halloween. A few participants who dressed up included Porn Pon girls Mike Ferdman and Dean Mazetta, "Gumby" Alavana Decker and Mike Durso, " Mr. T ' Rob Munic, Thriller woman Nikki Rich, headless person Carolyn Prinz, Indiana Jones Robert Gershbein and "Tom Cruise" Kerstin Hagg and Howard Malitz. Teachers who dressed up included James Sweeney and Marjorie Stevens who dressed as a monster and a cat respectively. Halloween continued after school and into the night, as most people grabbed their shaving cream cans and went " bombing". Of course, trick-or-treating was still effective if you had the right costume. All remembered, that the Great Pumpkin was waiting with the other pumpkins in the great pumpkin patch. He was waiting to be taken home and carved for decoration. All dressed up and no where to go. Fooling us all is senior Harry Anderson. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. For t hese two beauties, the situation seems hopeless. It is "strictly business" for freshman Paul Katz. Halloween brings out many "shady" characters. Halloween 45 �Banners and signs hang on the stage curtain to inform everyone who Steve Givot is. He is in favor of a Libertarian society. ••••••••••••••••, Political Views On Monday, October 29, Steve Givot, Libertarian candidate for U.S. senator from Illinois, came to speak at the Niles West auditorium. Mr. Givot outlined his party's views, including its main stance on less government involvement in personal life. He also stressed the importance of alternative political parties, and said he felt his party was a needed alternative to the other political parties. Appearing with Mr. Givot was Jimmy "JJ " Walker, star of the T.V. show "GOOD TIMES". Jimmy, who was warmly received, gave his own corresponding views about the Libertarians, also stressing the importance of alternative political parties. Mr. Lorenz, the director of social studies and fine arts, helped get in touch with Steve Givot, and enthusiastic about having him speak. However, he was disappointed that during an election year more politicians weren't available. "It is very educational to see the aspects of politics when politicians speak, and more education is needed to get more people to vote. Having speakers here is very important because students rarely are able to have discussions in class regarding current events," explained Mr. Lorenz. Mr. Lorenz added that the school had made offers to most major political candidates, both national and local, to come speak. Mr. McMahon, English teacher and sponsor of the Current Events Club who sponsored the event, thought it was advantageous for students to see and question politicians whenever possible, and had hoped to have the Democratic and Republican candidates along with the Libertarians. Mr. McMahon noted that while only 200 to 300 people were expected, approximately 700 attended. This was an encouraging sign to the Current Events Club to sponsor more political events in the future. Almost all of the students who attended appreciated Mr. Givot coming to speak. Sophomore Dale Sherman said, "Steve Givot made a lot of sense to me. He came across firmly with his ideas. I agree with his view that government should stay out of I people's personal lives. Personally, I'd like to see more politi- Candidate for the U.S. Senate, Steve Givot tell~ about his philosophy of govern· cians speak at Niles West. I really got a lot out of the open ment. After he finishes, Givot opens the floor to questions from interested stu· ,' forum." Not all students, however, concurred with Mr. Givot's ~n~. / views. "Although I don't agree with many of his ideas," said sophomore Tom Abelson, "I enjoyed being able to hear what he had to say, and also to see someone campaigning." 46 Li beratarian Speaker �Passing out pamphlets about the Great American Smokeout are freshman Gary Kaufman and sophomores Rachel Oliker and Suzanne Davis. They receive cigarettes from students and faculty who stop smoking for the day and hopefully the future. Kicking The Habit """""""""""""""""' "Smoking is very glamorous." This poster is just one of the many around the school. Fumar, fumer, and rauchen all mean the same thing in three different languages; to smoke. Many factors can drive a person to smoke. When kids are young, they may see parents smoking, therefore assuming that it is all right for them to try. Another reason is when a person tries to imitate an idol or a more "worldly" person that smokes. The most influencing factor of smoking is peer pressure. Kids that start smoking in their teens often carry the habit into their adulthood. Once a person has entered a practice that is detrimental to his health, it is very hard to kick the habit. Students and faculty joined the nation-wide effort to kick the habit on Thursday, November 15. This meant that for one whole day, all smoking was to cease among smokers who chose to participate. The Great American Smokeout brought in the idea, "take a day off . .. " Not smoking for one day did not necessarily guarantee that a person would stop smoking forever. Quitting takes patience and willpower. Students and faculty also helped by "adopting smokers." Adoption meant they would help their friends quit. Remember: Life is sweet, smoking stinks. Laurie Adams '86 To inform the students about the dangerous effects of smoking is the purpose of these pamphlets. Many schools nation-wide helped participate in .the smoke-out. Smoke Out 47 �New theater owner Rob Alpern explains to janitor Howard Malitz his reasons for changing the theater into a parking lot. Being the bad guy isn' t always easy. Actors Steer In Right Directi on ••••••••••••••••, The air was electric, as the audience waited for the curtain to rise signifying the opening of "No Parking on the Stage Floor." "This was the best Pow Wow in years, from the nostalgic opening number 'the Charleston' to the show stopper 'Celebration'," said senior Jackie Sirajullan. "No Parking on the Stage Floor" was about a man Adam Randall, who inherited a theater that was not doing well. Mr. Randall decided to tear the theater down and build a multistory parking lot, against the wishes of others who worked for the theater. Pleasant surprises were added to the stage with seniors Rob Alpern playing Adam Randall and Howard Malitz playing the janitor. Both seniors had their first stage experiences with this show. Another senior Melissa Lewin played the part of Alice, the zany lady at the ticket booth. The show featured an evolution of music throughout the century. From the 20's there were flappers and from the 60's there were flower children. Musical numbers from the show included: "I Wanna Be Loved by You" sung by sophomore Rebecca Kolber, "Minnie the Moocher" sung by junior Paul Bouboutsis and the heart warming melody, "Send in the Clowns" rendered by senior Julie Moltz. A Special guest performance in the show was the "Original Thoughts", a school band. Work paid off for the show's directors seniors Stefanie Akwa and Andy Lawler. With so talented a cast, the stage floor also became a dance floor. Steve Blonder and "his girls" act O one of the memories in the old theater. J.It' Many performances took place ~ this theater about to become a parking lot. 48 No Parking On The Stage Floor �Amazed by Julie Moltz's reaction is Paul Bouboutsis. Paul plays a charming entertainer who unsuccessfully makes passes at every girl in the show. Publicity shots are an important asset for any show. Here, freshman Ann Fisher and senior Lionel Go help promote the student production. In between scenes, freshman Michelle Dayan checks her make-up.

When friends weren't dancing they were able to enjoy the refreshments offered at the dance. Friday Night Bash A Sillash •6'6'6''76:•'76'6''7tr6''76'6'6'a Do you ever have problems deciding where to go to on a Friday night? Is the Riviera too hard to get to? Do you find it hard to get into singles' bars? Are Broadway musicals out of your price range? Student Union found the perfect solution to all of these dilemas, The First Friday Night Bash. The bash, a first for Niles West, provided an entertaining time for all who . were able to attend. However, only 350 stude!1ts were lucky enough to join in the festivities due to lack of space in the cafeteria. The reduced number did not inhibit students from buying tickets, as shown when all 350 tickets were sold out in less than two days. A definite record for the books! "Dance Experience" provided the music for this event. The disc jockey played an even mix of music, ranging from the music of the 60's and "Animal House" to the music of today. Refreshments were served, allowing students to "cool off" before heading back to the dance floor. The evening culminated with a raffle of gift certificates from Lou Malnati's, Baskin Robbins, Dino's, Bones, and some chocolate records. Button numbers were called off, and the lucky winner received prizes. "The First Friday Night Bash was a great success," stated senior Nikki Rich adding, " I was glad to be one of the lucky 350 that got to attend." The enthusiasm shown by the students prompted Student Union to organize another bash. Student Union has definitely provided a cure for the "Friday Night Blues."

Tis' the season to be jolly, fa la la la la la la la la. The holidays brought cheer to school and the community. As early December arrived, plans began for this festive time. Senior Class Cabinet traveled to the Hull House in Chicago, to share the holidays with needy children. Like elves, seniors brought refreshments and presents to the party they planned for the kids. Pin the nose on Rudolph, Duck Duck Goose, Musical Chairs and a Christmas story made the children smile. A big-brother, big-sister relationship formed as the celebration went on and the seniors and children became newfound friends. As Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman were sung, a special harmony was seen and heard. The holiday season is a time to share with others, and the Cabinet through the party, made the children's Christmas a brighter one. Concert in the cafeteria described the scene before homeroom on Friday, December 21. This last day of school before winter break carried the holiday mood. A group of staff members performed holiday carols for the students and also at the faculty holiday party given by Principal Dr. Don Ring and his wife, Sonya. Shari Owens, the new choral director, was responsible for putting together the choir that consisted of members such as; Dr. Don Ring - principal, Bill Handzel - A.V.E., David Lee - social worker, Barbara Handler - counselor and Len Winans - counselor. Along with the music side of the holidays, members of the band marched through the halls with their instruments and played holiday songs. The sound throughout the school was one of joy and excitement for the two weeks that were about to begin. For· some the weeks would include holiday parties, sleeping late, going skiing or perhaps to a warmer climate to get the " savage tan". Some classes took the last day of school to have a party, like the Chanukah party in Alex Miran's Hebrew class, while others would remember the last day before break as a time to get "Surprise!!," shouts Pat Flynn's 2-4 College Prep. class.

Jim Puff shows his special know-how as he portrays Chuck Barris of the Gong Show. Going Going Gonged ••••••••••••••••• After a long five-year rest, the Gong Show returned and with spectacular results. Over 400 students, parents, and teachers came out in sub-zero temperatures to see the hidden talent. And talent they did see. Unfortunately the theater department was unable to get a hold of Chuck Beris for the occassion, however, they were able to get the next best thing James Puff, head of security, as master of ceremonies. Along with James Puff were the three judges: Donald Ring, principal, Dr. Roger Stein, Spanish teacher, and Sheri Owen s, vocal director. The judges based their scores on originality, stage presence, and audience appreciation. If there were none of these qualities they were gonged! There was a great variety of acts, from cheerleaders jumping around, to sophomores having pillow fights. Among the acts that were not gonged were the three winning acts. The first place act was the Bag Ladies, a group of four girls dressed in bags from head to knees dancing. The "ladies" were juniors Andrea Poet, Ingrid Helgeson, Judy DeAcetis, and sophomore Kathy Campbell. The second place winners were the Summer Daffodils bringing some warmth to the stage with their rendition of Ba-her ran. This was sung by seniors Moses Nang and back-ups by Angelo Costas, Ho Youl Chang, Ken Wexler, and juniors Mark Poolos, and Al Matan. Arthur Tiersky got the crowd going with his own hit Will it Rain or Will it Snow? He received third place. Judge Donald Ring commented that "The big boys in tu-tus was probably the best act, but I was confused if the message of Muskrat Love was the theme for this skit as seniors John Noyola and Julie Moltz the finale was truth or beauty.

Perfecting choreography is necessary for a successful show. . ''Joseph'' Reaches Anlazing Heigh ts ~················ The Theater Department performed one of its best shows ever. The musical was Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The show recalls the biblical story of Joseph, Jacob's son. Joseph is endowed with a special power to interpret dreams. This power takes Joseph right up next to the King; The Pharoh. Junior Paul Bouboustis played Joseph and senior Andy Lawler was the Pharoh. The role of the Narrator, who recounts the whole story to the audience, was split three ways by seniors Nikki Rich, Julie Moltz, and Kathy Feingold. The role of Potiphar was played by senior Colin Lawler and senior Steffi Akwa portrayed his wife, Mrs. Potiphar. Lots of hard work went into the show. Rehearsals began even before Christmas Break. The crew and costumers worked just as hard as the cast. The set was designed by Lee Goldberg and Cynthia Philbin. Rita Stewart was a helping hand in preparing Joseph's "amazing technicolor dreamcoat. " There were two matinees instead of the usual one. There was one for senior citizens and one for junior high students. The show opened Thursday evening at 8:15 p.m., March 21st and ran through March 23rd. The show was directed by the theater teacher Robert Johnson, with sophomore Rebecca Kolber assisting him. The vocals were done by Sheri Owens, the new Choral Director, and the choreography was done by alumna Gloria Camilli. The cast and crew worked hard to sell ads for the program for a very special reason. This production received a very prestigious invitation - to perform at the International Theater Conference in June at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. To perform there is the " ultimate honor" in high school theater. Freshman Dawn Szabo concluded, "Joseph has gone very well. All the people involved are hard workers and the fini shed project should be spectacular." joseph/ M_usical 59 �Taking a quick nap is junior Matt Mita. Many students find it hard to keep an attention span when studying. Knocked out from finals' studies, senior Don Gelfond takes a break - sometimes the finals' p1JS5ure can be just too much. / 60 Finals �Finally finding a quiet place to study, juniors Lynn Sonkin and Lisa Vick begin to review. Passing U.S. History is very important to juniors. Semester Tester ·················~ Making good use of our school's computer system is junior Alayna Decker. There are many programs which may become very useful when studying for finals. Given some extra time for reviewing, senior Dana Rugendorf prepares for her Biology final. Every eighteen weeks, twice a year, eight times in high school, students are faced with finals. For many students, finals brought loads of studying, late nighters, trips to the library, lots of pop or coffee and nervousness. Perhaps the preparation for finals may seem a bit overboard, but when one-fourth of your semester grade is decided in an hour, it can be quite strenuous. First semester finals began Tuesday, January 29 and lasted until Thursday, January 31. Each final lasted one hour with passing periods in between. Finals were a new experience for freshmen. The Class of '88 took their first set of finals without previous experience and set out to ask all of the upperclassmen about what they should study for. For some students, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday they found multiple choice, essay, written or oral finals. Usually they knew what to expect, but even if they did, the tension of walking into a final was amazing. No talking or movement occurred in a final's room, for students feared they would lose their concentration. After nights and nights of hard work, the students definitely deserved a break. Therefore, Friday was a day off between semesters. On this day students, slept and had fun to catch up on after the long hours they put in studying. Many ways were found to study for exams. In order to prepare for exams Junior Alana Dubin "I just look things over." Junior Dan Herman "I don't study." "I start studying ahead of time, so I don't Junior Jodi Nock have to do it all in one night." "I actually sit down and study my notes Senior Sugra Yaybulak and study guides." Senior Bob Gaughrin "I study with a friend." "I study with smart kids from my Senior Lou Mitchell classes." "I don't prepare for finals, I am a senior."Senior Mike Dreier Senior Lauri Balbirer "I cram." Senior Ron Clark "I get plenty of sleep." Sophomore Michael La"I don't study." Croix "I study very hard." Sophomore Dino Santorineos "I study an hour before each exam." Sophomore Jim Torrez No matter what the study technique, students either hit the books or don't study at all. There are many techniques, some successful and some not so successful. Finals 61 �No More Work It's A Celebration '""""""""""""""""" ,.,No More Work", "Party Train" and "Celebration", were three tunes that set the mood for this BASH. After long hours of studying and three days of tests, students were in need of a way to celebrate the end of finals. Not only did this event recognize the conclusion of finals, it also was a party for the second semester seniors. Finals were over and the three day weekend was here, the contest gym's lights were dimmed and its floor was ready for dancing. Thursday night played host to the AFTER-FINALS BASH that drew 500 students for dancing, refreshments and a lot of fun. Student Union sponsored the dance with records spun by Skokie disc jockey Carey Weiman. For a mere $2.00, students could partake in the fun. After three days the bash was sold out. Bash committee members were junior Jenni Holt, seniors Frank Epstein and Tony Sherman and sophomore Devra Resnick. The After-Finals Bash was a success according . to junior Debbie Freed who said, "It was a place for everyone to celebrate the end of finals and the beginning of a great weekend." Contests were in number with a 50's dance contest to songs like "Barbara Ann" and also everyone got down for the twist contest. Some students even pretended to be on the islands, by participating in a hulahoop contest. Students found out that they could boogie at the bash bash, boogie at the bash! All 500 knew how to celebrate good times! Above left- Testing the sound system is Cary Weiman. He is the disc jockey of his own entertainment business, "Dance Experience."

A celebration is what freshmen Ami Grimaldi, Abby Starr, and Christy Roberts are enjoying. Thei r first feeling of final exams has come and gone. After-Finals Bash 63 �Skywalkers II Rule The Court •••••••••••••••• 6 "It's fun because I'm good," stated junior Phil Rodgers, member of the Seamen Team during the N-Club Volleyball Tournament held in the Contest and North-South Gyms. The tournament was held on Wednesday, February 20. The volleyball tournament was planned and coordinated by the N-Club. As Senior Tony Hehn said, "It's the best thing the N-Club has done for the school." Twelve teams competed at the tournament. These teams were formed individually by students with three to seven players on a team. The teams' names were thought up by the creative members on the team. Some were:· Silver Spoons, Slim Trim and Jordan, Party Animals, Purple Pegasus, Knards, Dead Heads, Toe Gobblers, Cheerleaders, All the President's Men, Crafty Beaver Hunters, Magnificent Seven, Ham's Porkchops, Hawaiian Swans, The Seamen, The Gyno's and Skywalkers 2. "There is no beating us," Hawaiian Swan's Lou Mitchell said, "If we can't take first in the Gong Show, we are sure gonna do it here." The team's played fifteen point games, or if after fifteen minutes neither team had fifteen points, the team with the higher score was the winner. The tournament was played with double elimination. "It's a war out there, the girls are just too tough." stated senior Ron Fortman. At the end of the night the championship game was held between the two remaining teams. These teams were the Crafty Beaver Hunters and the Skywalkers II. After a very tough game the Skywalkers II took first place. Leading his team to victory is senior Carl Czernik. He shows that basketball players can play a mean game of volleyball also. Teamwork is what make Skywalkers II the champions: Seniors Jack Dahm, Carlos Fornaris, and Lou Atsaves struggle to return the serve. Ready to "spike back" senior Lou Atsaves jumps a few inches higher than his opponent. What a dunk it would have made! Mickey may be the leader of the "'1fouse Club, but junior Robby Munic and his team sure didn't play like mi&. Here Munic executes a side arm serve. 64 N-Club Volleyball Tournament �Most games resulted in a battle for every last point. Waiting for the ball to come back down senior Mark Sobczak and junior David Young battle for the final points. Power is evident in the overhand serve of junior Cynthia Papoutsakis. Eye contact and intensity create the perfect serve for Cynthia. Hawaiian shirt, black dress socks, and bandana show the individuality of senior Carlos Fornaris' team "The Skywalkers II". Fornaris hopes to get on a roll and serve fifteen points in ~ row.

" Korol added, "That was memorable, but so was being re-hired." Korol found changes at Niles over the years, as "When I started discipline, attendance and dress were all very strict and controlled.

Korol added, " I see the So's a return to rules, discipline and attendance tempered with some lessons that were learned from previous years."

Ch Ch Ch Changes ••••••••••••••••• Two pepsi machines arrived - crowds gathered to buy cans of Sunkist, 7-UP, Dr. Pepper and Diet Pepsi during lunch, free and snack times. No more syruppy or watery juices, now it was time for cans of favorite soft drinks to take over the cafeteria. Upon arrival, students jumped at the chance to "POP" 45¢ into the new machines and receive a can of Pepsi. No longer were trips to 7 - Eleven or sneaking into the teacher's lounge necessary- Now when students wanted a can of pop they had their "own machines" to buy it from, just a few steps out of the cafeteria. As with any change, at first there were a few problems. " It is kind of an experiment to see if kids can keep the building clean and enjoy the pop," said Principal Dr. Don Ring. Information availability is an important need of students. Besides the "Daily Bulletin, P.A., and Poster" came a "flashy sign in the cafeteria." All day long messages ran from announcements of a turnabout dance to the "CHESS TEAM WINS" and a new addition, 'THE DAILY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!" Every day students' an teachers' names flashed across the board with messages of Happy Birthday. Now students had another means of communication. "GET the MESSAGE"????? Blinded by the light? New blinds and windows were ordered to add to the school's appearance. Times changed, people changes and West changed. In just one year there were many CH CH CH CHANGES! .,, E P PSI 1 Above- Lines were long at the two Pepsi machines, but students did not mind the wait. The saying around school was, "No Coke, Pepsi''.

Senior Tony Hehn sets up for the block. Teain Spirit Benefits Season Double session practices, chalk talks, practice with the sophomores, five corners with "no guts, no glory," including a little sweat and pain, and there was the Varsity Football Team. At 2:25, school was out and it was time for practice. Everybody was ready by 2:45 for either a chalk talk or a pre-practice stretching and agility warmup, followed by a half hour or so of specialties (kicking game, punting, punt return) and an hour of team offense and defense practice. By then every player was pretty tired, but still ready to go and still sucking in the pain, while thinking positive thoughts. After all that, the players would go to their position coaches. Coach Richardson dealt with the first offense and the first defense, Coach Gralewski and Coach Shane trained the defense, Coach Spagnoli lined up the of~ 72 Varsity Football fensive line and defensive line, and Coach Kruiser worked with the tight ends and the split ends. Team pride is a special need for a football team and the varsity team definitely had it. They were proud to work for and be a part of Niles West. Discipline was requi'red, both individual and team. The varsity team had every square inch of the discipline needed for a successful season. If individual discipline was molded with· every player, then there was team discipline, because football cannot be won by every man for himself. It took support and talent from the eleven players on the field and off it. Talent, Niles West had that also. It took talent for a victory, along with discipline, pride, concentration, goal work and a positive attitude. Niles West was a winner as a team and as individuals. Niles West had spirit, the spirit to become a successful team, to become number .one: Niles West had love, love for the gridiron game and hard work. Niles West had determination, a determination to play the best play every play, until the end of the fourth quarter. They gave 110% on the field. Niles West had good football players, just as good in ·academics as on the field. People looked up to the football players, like tri-captains Joe Klancnick, Carlos Fornaris and Eugene Pullano.

Has Protnising Outlook "The Junior Varsity team is basically next year's Varsity team, since most of the guys on the Junior Varsity team will start on Varsity next year, except for a couple of sophomores," said head coach Ron Gralewski. The Junior Varsity had very few substitute players; the team had one extra fullback, two extra tight ends and split ends with a couple of linemen. The force of the Junior Varsity team came from players like quarterback Tom Merkel, linemen Louis Mitchell and Joey Barber along with other members of the team. "The Junior Varsity team is made for the coaches to take a look at the future Varsity prospects," said assistant coach Ron Shane. It looks like a fairly promising 1985-86 Varsity football season. The Junior Varsity had several assets: good attitude, intensity, power, talent, pride, courage, good form, and the love for the game of football. Sophotnores Have Tough Practices Practicing with the hard-hitting Varsity team and new assistant coach, Bill Porter, were just two aspects new to the Sophomore Football team. There were new plays to learn, and an exciting football season in store. The season was tough, yet the team managed to have fun. The sophomores learned some of the fancy plays that the Varsity used, for some of them will play on the Varsity team next year. "The sophomore year in football is probably where most kids improve greatly," said Head Coach Bob Murphy, while Coach Mel Schmidt nodded in agreement. The team worked hard and was taken seriously by both their fans and opponents. The engine was ignited by such players as quarterback Todd Kassel, fullbacks Paul Kasprak and Curtis Takiguchi, along with linemen Marc Johnson, Tony Kim and Li Wang. 74 J.V./Sophomore Football Walking onto the field are members of the JV Football team.

This is because many people think that freshmen cannot play the hard-nosed, tackling game of football. This has been proven false by the likes of Coaches Bauer, Odlivak, Erbe and Kettleborough. They are good coaches, disciplined yet gentle and caring as any father would be to his son. That's the kind of relationship that has developed between the coaches and the freshmen players. "These kids are real easy to work with even though they are new to the game. Today's young people should be given a chance to play football once in their lifetime," remarked Head Coach Bauer.

Throughout Europe soccer is known as "football". This makes much more sense considering that, with the exception of the goalie, the main part of the body that comes in contact with the ball is the feet. The quality of the varsity team's footwork was clearly illustrated by their numerous victories. "Speed, grace, and hard work are what it takes to make a strong soccer team, and that's what we've got," explained co-captain Jim Griletz. This season instead of one captain, they had two· co-captains, seniors Dan Gabel and Jim Griletz. "Above everything else, I think I'll remember this season as the year of the goalies. We had two first-rate goalies. I only wish they could have both started all the games," stated coach Joe Brennan. Win or lose, with hard work and improvement, the varsity team had something to be proud of.

And Sophotnore Statnina Accounts For Success The Junior Varsity Soccer Team's excellent stamina and running ability accounted for much of its success on the field. "We all feel that this season turned out the way it did because of long practices and working together as much as a team can," commented member John Hahn. Even though their record could be improved, the players agreed that they worked hard and had a great time. The team maintaned its looseness throughout the whole season. J.V. player Dean Marinakis stated, "Everyone had a chance to play, and next year we're hoping to have a successful season." The pinnacle of the season came against Glenbrook North which was one of the toughest teams Niles West played. The game was played under very harsh weather conditions, but the team maintained its composure and gave Glenbrook North a great battle. "These players will hopefully be on the Varsity team next year. I just know they're going to have a great varsity season," concluded Coach Dave Hart. In a foot race for the ball, Steve Frankel sprints in order to take possession of the ball.

Kris Hainke and Kolza Sarov strive hard to gain control of the ball and lead Niles West to a victory. Some people may call it sacrilegious, but the strenuous workouts of the Freshman A soccer team got everything out of them plus more than they put into it. Soccer practice consisted of skilled drills and four to five miles of running. Major emphasis was placed on handling the ball. This included learning how to dribble, volley-kick, instep-kick and trapping. "Some teams had bigger and better players, but they did not play together as a team. What we had here was a team that worked as one," stated Coach Peter Zorn. Underway and ready to take their team to the top were the Freshman B team. "Members of the Frosh B squad showed a great willingness to work and improve," said coach Jim Sweeney adding, "Several of them moved up to the A team as a result of this improvement."

The varsity team, inspired by high goals, started off with a boom. Victories against Highland Park and Glenbrook North carried them on a roll of enthusiasm throughout the season. The team was led by varsity team captain Karen Wilczewski who felt that the team had improved greatly from previous years. Head coach Ms. Sfikas described what she called a "strong year" and said that the girls were hard working and diligent. There were five returning seniors, Karen Wilczewski, Carol Billisits, Sherry Dougal, Regina Shemroske, and Deanne Zych. Teamwork and individual skills were what the junior varsity team was all about. They trained hard all season. JV coach Mr. Carr said he looks forward to next year when the girls will be playing varsity volleyball. Some outstanding players were Linda Steiner, Madeline Partipilo and Dominique Partipilo. The freshmen volleyball team mastered the basic skills of the game. "Their future looks very promising and improvements occurred at every practice," said Coach Oshay. Some hopefuls to look for in the coming years are Joy Grossberg and Jeannine Domonica.

JV/ Frosh Valleyball 81 �Dedica tion Triulllphs In The End Despite their meager turnout of athletes, the Boys Cross Country team had a relatively successful season. Runners such as Rocky Lee and Borpit Intawiwat often found themselves leading the varsity team to victory. The team as a whole had a rough season with many injuries. Much of this can be attributed to the rigorous training schedule of Coach Pat Savage, as he often had his runners train with college runners from Oak ton. How- 82 Boys Cross Country ever, the stamina and endurance finally paid off when Rocky Lee came in first place at the Milwaukee Apple Invitational with Borpit finishing right behind him. "The practices were a pain at first," confides runner Rocky, "but after a few races, we knew that it was all worth it." Although the sophomore team was also rather small, they too had a rewarding season. They are currently trying to rebuild their team and hope for a win- ning season next year. The freshmen have had an outstanding season, thanks to Steve Rosen, Matt Achett, Eric Watson, Robert Liu, Henry Chen, and Bryan Mittelman. These runners, along with the rest of the freshman team placed first in the Invite. Freshman coach Ron Campbell stated. "The freshmen team progressed for beginners. By the end of training, they competed well and had potential to be a good team." �SCOREBOARD NW NW NW NW NW NW NW NW Intensity is shown on the faces of cross country runners, moments before the big race. 27 95 95 95 21 19 40 45 Niles North Deerfield New T rier Evanston Waukegan East Waukegan West Highland Park Glenbrook South 29 25 40 86 34 36 21 18 WON-5 LOST-3 Front row: S.

To Success y Hard work and dedication were two main factors that helped the girls swimming season. Although workouts were tough, the Girls' Swim Team stuck together and made it through a long season. "Spirit and dedication are the main keys to a good swimming season, and our team definitely had both," said junior swimmer Lori Burns. Head Coach of the team, Nick Whelan, was the man in charge who prepared his team for upcoming meets with rival schools. Most of the swimmers agreed that practices were tough, but the key to success was hours and hours of Varsity diver Diane Rubenstein displays perfect strenuous swimming. Even after swim- ming constantly, morale was always at a high level. Senior swimmer and captain, Diana Santillan, did her best to keep the team's spirit up when they needed it most. "Besides trying to keep up morale, it was also my job to get my teammates as psyched as I possibly could for each meet that we had," said Santillan. During the season the Girls' Swim Team did an excellent job of setting goals and accomplishing them. 9ther swimmers Sonya Tolksdorf, Wendy Martin, and Misty 'Sienkoski accomplished their goals by keeping up the team spirit to help drive their team toward victory. form as she does a double.

However it was a necessary action that the golf team needed to take. Golf member David Cohen said, "Even though it's a pain to lug our equipment all the way to Wilmette every day, the practice really improves our game." Golf calls for a lot of skill and coordination. A steady arm and accurate judging distance is required. If you're ever on the golf course and you hear someone yell 'fore' cover your head and move out of the way. "Fore' is a golf term that means the ball just hit is heading right in your direction. The guys on the team practiced more than two hours at the course every day. The final record for the team was not that good, but according to most players next year there should be some major improvements because everyone is planning on practicing a lot during the summer.

With a lot of determination and dedication the team had many wonderful memories at the end of the season. However, they also had some setbacks. A major one occurred when Nancy Johnson tore her ligament. This restricted her playing at the beginning of the season. By the end of the season she was able to resume playing. Many times it seemed hopeless for the team, but all the confidence exhibited by 98 Varsity Girls Basketball Setting a pick on her opponent, is junior Kathy Sokalski as Karen Wilczewski sprints behind her to pick up the girl from Deerfield. Coach Earl helped the players adjust to any position or situation. The girls were full of energy for every game, giving their all and defeating schools such as Deerfield, Glenbard West, Evanston, and Maine South. Coach Earl was hopeful that the team would win the conference. He felt that as a team they had greatly improved. In the past six years, the varsity team has won five conference championships and plans on making it a tradition.

It's not a bird, not a plane, it's the Girls' Basketball team! With hours of practice each day and the dedication of Coach Becker, the freshmen were prepared for their first experience at high school basketball and to get ready for the years ahead of them. "We have a talented coach that is welldisciplined and insires us while we play," commented forward Jeannine DiModica. The Junior Varsity Coach Klebba was excited at the beginning of the season because the team had won conference last year and he hoped to make it a tradition. However, after losing all their experienced players except for Jill Colen, the team had trouble pulling it off at first, but later got into the swing of things. Although it was not their best season, it helped the team develop the skills they will need to make it a better season next year. Coach Klebba commented that they have shown great improvement since freshman year. . Attempting to out maneuver her opponents is sophomore Jill Kreher. Kreher eventually worked her way around the Deerfield girls and added two for the Indians. Double teaming the Deerfield player are sophomores Jill Colen and Kathy Cote.

JV/ Frosh Girls Basketball 101 �Wrestlers Sweat It Out And Hit The Bricks "Sweating it out" was a statement that applied literally to the varsity wrestlers. Wrestlers who had to meet the standard weight for their class tried everything, from sweating gallons upon gallons of body water to starving and wearing their entire wardrobes to bed. Staying away from food was often difficult. Members would support each other by going to a movie together, or doing just about anything else to stay away from food. Spitting was one of their favorite ways to shed that extra pound. "You would be surprised how much you can lose by spitting for a couple of hours," commented senior Steve Brabec. 102 Varsity Wrestling "Get up, you sleepy head," was often heard by the wrestlers on a Saturday morning. The first meet of the season started at 10:00 a.m ., but wrestlers were already there training, preparing, and getting psyched for the first match. Conquering the opponent match after match led the varsity wrestlers to a victory at their first meet of the season against New Trier. " I've been wrestling since I was in junior high, and this is my third year so far on the Wrestling Team. I've learned about work, friendship, and understanding. I have accomplished much in the past few years that will help me in the upcoming years of my life," ~ tated junior Barry Albach. In addition to the varsity's win, the junior varsity team also defeated New Trier. " I think we got off to a great start. We know we're going to make it all the way," stated Coach Hartoonian. Wrestling is not just a sport, but also a way of life for these athletes. "We expect to win and have a fun time doing it. We want more than being conference and regional champs. Our goal is to make it to the state tournament," concluded junior Craig Brairec. · ,~ �Controlling his opponent with a power half is junior Barry A lbach. Albach helped lead the wrestling team to a Conference Championship. Lifting his opponent high up in the air, junior Dean Bravos performs a great takedown.

Kolar uses all of his strength to gain control of his match aga inst New Trier. Fighting for a position against his opponent, senior Mike Lochner grits his teeth and uses every last ounce of power. Lochner applies his power half showing no mercy.

Being overcome by the opponent is an intimidating thought and a disasterous outcome. But with physical and mental abilities the Freshmen Wrestling Team overcame the odds, with wins against the highly ranked Deerfield Warriors and New Trier Trevians. As the spectators go wild chanting "Indians;" in a low tone, the determined wrestlers struggle for the pin. The points are scored, throwing the team into a decisive victory. The JV2 wrestling team had many moments of victory due to the tremendous amount of skill and practice. Practice for the team was every day after school during the season. Through the leadership of undefeated wrestlers like Pat Cattern and Andy Rudin, they went on beating schools like Waukegan West. During the off-season, the dedicated wrestlers kept in shape by working out in the weight room. Besides strength and endurance, strategy is a major part of wrestling. When a wrestler is about to be pinned, he has to make a split second decision on how he is going to get out of the situation, preferably in a reversal. Preparing to pin his opponent by getting hand control is senior wrestler Billy Kornit. Kornit has no problem defeating the wrestler from Deerfield. Pleased with the outcome of his match is junior Varsity Wrestler Mike Wiltgen. Wiltgen defeated his opponent from Proviso through a superior decision. 104 Wrestling - All Levels J J. Mededovsky, B.

The Girls' Track team planned on winning. They had reason to believe so, because many hours were put in before the season started. Running through the halls, working out in the hydro-fitness room, using track facilities at Niles East, and even running outside in January were just a few of the things the girls did to prepare themselves. "We hope to come in the top half of our conference. We are in a tough conference and have a young team that needs development and are eager to learn," commented Coach Jean Armour. The girls had set a lot of goals for the 110 Girls Track On The Right Track year. Some were to learn to work together like a family, discipline themselves, and to master their skills. At the beginning of the season there were many enthusias.tic runners like Chris Sammuel, "Since this is my first year on track, I feel very optimistic about the season ahead. The people on track are friendly and the coaches are very supportive." Freshman runner Laura Oroni, who is on varsity said, " I love being part of the team.

The Girls Soccer team was constantly drilled in these skills. The proof of how successful these tough workouts were was revealed when they entered on to the field. At the end of last season the team finished with a 10-2-2 record. The girls only lost to the number one and number two teams in the state "We only lost one senior last year, so this year should be dynamite. With all our starters returning including four seniors that have been playing Varsity Soccer since freshman year, we ought to be very tough this season." said Senior Captain Diana Santillan. 112 Girls Soccer .. .

I plan to do that." This was only one of the things that new Coach Ron Campbell of the Boys Track Team said referring to the season. "We have to take advantage of what we have," Campbell concluded. The team consisted of about seven shotputters, five discus throwers, two high-jumpers, four long jumpers, four triple jumpers, along with sprinters, hurdlers and distance runners. All were coached by Assistant-Coach Pat Savage, who had formerly served as Head Coach. Coach Campbell was in the mood for changes in the coaching system. One major change was the addition of Coach Terese Kimura to help the long jumpers. He also arranged to have the Boys and Girls Track teams practice together on Tues~ays and Thursdays. After clearing the last hurdle, senior John Hennessy is ready to head for the finish line. Hennessy led the pack of hurdlers and left his competition in the dust. 114 Boys Track "This team is a fairly young team, consisting of mostly freshmen, with a few lettermen returning," commented Assistant-Coach Savage. Junior Rocky Lee agreed adding, "I think we have a fine team with young, multi-talented track stars, mixed with experienced long distance runners, which should make us a well-balanced underdog." This was a small team compared to the opponents teams and past West teams. They strived ·to be a winning team and were successful. Besides their team goals they also achieved many personal goals, such as record times, jumps and throws.

In fact, as they got their bats cracking and their arms throwing, the players were very optimistic about their season. The team had good reasons to be excited. One contributing factor to their enthusiasm was the excellent season by the team last year and in the summer. Through great pitching, excellent hitting and outstanding fielding, the team placed first in their division and traveled downstate to battle with the best during the summer. Unfortunately, after an upsetting loss in the last inning 2-1 to Hershey, the state champions, they placed fourth in the state. Senior pitcher Joe Klancik stated, "We had some heartbreaking losses last year, but this year we plan to get back at Hershey." Another reason for their optimism was the outstanding group of players.

All of whom were willing to put in 100% to have a winning team. Joe Klancik also added, "To be a winning team you must contribute to the team as a team player, and not as an individual." Overall, the outlook on the upcoming season was good, with great players and the spirit from the previous summer, the team plans to go far. Coach George Galla stated, "We have a good team, but the other teams have gotten better also. The two toughest t11ams to beat in our conference should 'be Wauke.gan East and Waukegan West."

It was first invented as an indoor baseball game, but is now played competitive ly in over thirty countries. Of course it has made its way to West! The softball team consisted of fourteen players. They practiced everyday after school for two hours, and had games two to three times a week. A game of softball is not just "hit and run." Softball can be hard on the knees and hard on the hands.

Members of the American Field Service (AFS) have traveled to these parts of the world and many more over the years. AFS'ers had numerous fundraisers with the hope of earning enough money to give some substantial aid to the adventurers whose applications were accepted. In addition to these fundraisers, the group planned field trips and socials with international themes. One such example was the International Weekend, held on October 25-28. Twelve foreign exchange students, representing the countries of Italy, Australia, Norway, and Ghana were treated to an ice-cream social, a Halloween costume party, and a tour around downtown Chicago, and also attended classes at West for one day. "Worldwide friendships," appreciation of other cultures," and "growth through experience" were mottos stressed at every gathering. With approximately seventy- · seven members in the club, it's no wonder that sophomore Esra Aninmis had fun "meeting new people." "I joined the program due to my interests in foreign communications and 'exchange'," she said. As sponsor Ms. Carr stated, "When they (students abroad) return and tell me that they learned a lot about another country, that's great! When they tell me that they learned so much about themselves, that's even better! It's what AFS is all about."

These great ideas were turned into various art projects throughout the school year by students who created some of the best art work shown in years. Examples of their superb artwork can be seen in the girls' gymnastics area, music rooms, and swimming locker rooms. A brilliant display was ~ade of Bart Conner, which was shown when Bart came to school for a pep assembly. Leadership was shown in organizing the club by officers John Witte, president; Dena Novak, vice-president; and Dave Kolber, secretary/treasurer. Sponsor Gary Davis stated, "This '84-'85 Art Council proved to be one of the best in recent years. Positive, mature leadership, and enthusiastic membership with plenty of creative ideas promise more great things for an already successful year".

"We hope to introduce and enlarge skills and knowledge in the field of aeronautics by building and flying model aircrafts and rockets," stated club sponsor Mr. Wayne Rogoski. Sophomore Young-Sik Whang, President of the Aeronautics Club, said that he came into the club with only a limited knowledge of building scale aircrafts. Now he can build flying aircrafts and rockets with a great deal of expertise and fly them with a certain degree of skill. The other officers of the Aeronautics Club are sophomore Dawn Illing as vice-president and sophomore Christine Olsen as secretary and treasurer. The feature fund raiser for the Aeronautics Club was a "great balloon race," in which the contestants had a chance at cash prizes. Anyone could enter this contest by placing a 50¢ entry fee. First place received $10.00, second place got $5.00, and third place got $2.98. To enter, you wrote your name on a card and tied it to a balloon which was then launched.

Nothing can be said during the game, and no help can be given. During a chess tournament there is a rule that it must be completely silent. In all, Chess Team played five matches. The fifteen members practiced every day after school. "It's a great atmosphere for making friends and learning more about chess," stated team captain Jeff Snyder. Jeff took first place in the Evanston High School Tournament. The guys agreed that playing chess after school was fun and entertaining. However, when the time came for a tournament, they had to have challenges within the team at practice because only eight people were able to be in each meet. The team was in the North Suburban Chess League. Tournaments at Niles West were held in the Math and Science Resource Center. Although there were no girls on the Chess Team this year, they are always welcome to join. Coach of this year's Chess Team, Warren Holz, said, "I had a lot of fun on the Chess Team this year, it is a really intense sport, and can greatly improve your reasoning ability." 128 Aeronautics/ Chess Team Above Front row: Ghansyam Patel, Yuri Dubinsky, Yuri Shvartsman, Yumin Hsu Back row: Frank Delphin, Nick Karabinas, Jeff Snyder, Fred Delphin, Audrey Pilipchak Right Concentration is shown on the face of Yuri Dubinsky as he gets ready to make his move.

These technological sounds signified turning on the computer and typing programs on the keyboard. Students were to visit the open lab to work individually, thus providing an experience in independent study. Participation in chosen group activities and competition with others was not a requirement. Instead, this time was geared toward students who wanted to expand their knowledge of computer programming and increase their skill and speed.

Having fundraisers , planning mixers, and promoting school spirit all contributed to making the Sophomore Cabinet an exciting group. Under the leadership of President, Andy Sprogis and Vice-President, Mike Phillips participation in the cabinet was enjoyable. An important fundraiser that the cabinet sponsored was the 'Le Pop" sucker sale. The funds raised through the successful sale helped contribute money for their prom. Helping incoming freshmen , adjust to the high school scene, the sophomores planned the Freshman-Sophomore Mixer. The Mixer allowed both sophomores and freshmen to meet new peo:ple and make friends. When asked if Sophomore Cabinet was just another activity Andy Sprogis said, "Sophomore Cabinet was a learning experience. This is because the members realJzed that th ey had to work together in order to get things done. " Introduction To Politics "And if I'm elected . .. ," was heard throughout freshman homerooms. Candidates running for an office in Freshman Cabinet had a chance to explain their views about what they could do for the Freshman Class over the P.A. system. Each candidate had one minute to talk, and the opportunity to make a video tape to be shown in the cafeteria on election day. Buttons and posters were found in abundance among the freshmen, stating their choices. "Campaigning is the most exciting part of an election," exclaimed candidate Jinjer Brody. " It's important for students to learn and comprehend the fundementals of an election. It helps us later in life to pick the best candidate by understa nding the issues involved," stated Karla Krone. "This election had a large number of students running for an office. I think thi s shows that the Freshman Class cares about what's going on," stated sponsor Geri Nash.

On these days, the Cabinet took trips to the Julie S. Molloy Center. At the center they visited with the handicapped kids. On certain days, some of the children played basketball. The center had a team made up of boys and girls who practiced and played against other teams. Cabinet members helped them with their practice. Not only was it beneficial for the kids, but members of the cabinet learned a lot from their interaction with the handicapped children. Patience and understanding were needed to make the visit successful. All juniors involved gained a great learning experience. The Cabinet also planned a Second Battle of the Bands. As usual, the class planned the Prom. With the greater turnout at Cabinet meetings, they had many accomplishments and gained class unity.

Additionally, they held a Christmas party at at the Hull House Day Care Center and organized their major and most successful activity, the selling of Senior Class T-shirts. They were also in charge of planning the most important event of their high school career, graduation. When asked whether they had accomplished their goals for the year, President Larry Rivkin explained, "We had an excellent year in Senior Class Cabinet. We had more members in the group than ever before. As an organization, we brought joy to others through community service and also did whatever small part we could in making this a memorable year for the Class of '85."

Whether the Indians were winning or losing, the Cheerleaders stood by their side every step of the way. Rain, sleet, snow and low temperatures did not put a damper on their spirit. Spirit was at a high, and the Cheerleaders were partly' responsible for arousing this feeling of unity. All three squads spent numerous hours practicing and the results showed on the football field and basketball court. Proving to be more than just spirited, were the Vasity Cheerleaders. The girls put in many vigorous hours of practice over the summer in order to prepare for the competitions that they participated in at U.S.C.A. (United States Cheerleading Association) Camp at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb. At camp they excelled and won 2nd place in the competition, received the " most spirited" award, four 2nd place ribbons and an elgibility to compete in Nationals - the largest cheerleading competition in the nation. "We worked very hard, but we had a lot of fun too. We were a very close squad and that contributed to our really loving what we do," re' marked Captain Anna Karalis. Before the Varsity Cheerleaders performed, the Sophomore Cheerleaders promoted spirit at the 6:00 p.m. games. Camp provided the squad with many new cheers, mount ideas, and dance routines. The sophomores at· tended UCA Camp. Time was short !:or the Freshman Cheerleaders to get their act together and get on the football field. With only a week to organize themselves after tryouts in September, cheers and chants had to be taught and learned in a matter of a few short practices before the first game. It was hard to generate a lot of spirit at 9:30 a.m. with such small crowds, but the freshman put their best foot forward and always cheered their loudest. Freshmen Cheerleaders gained experience, a new style of cheering and many new friends through being on the squad. The group's future looks bright, with Varsity prospects in just two years. Tryouts, camps, and practices are the parts of cheerleading the fans never see, but they do see and hear the final results: cheers, chants, mounts, enthusiasm, and most of all SPIRIT!

"Debate Team is great to be in, because you get to meet new people, you're able to find out more about yourself, and you're able to learn a lot more about the world we live in," said junior Jerry Kang, president of the team. The team was sponsored and coached by both Sandra Berkowitz and James Batts. The Debate Team officers who also helped the team strive toward victory were junior Helen Shapiro, Vice-president, and junior Judy Mann, secretary and treasurer. The team had a busy schedule during the year, including such tournaments as the 1984 Wamplem Invitational Debate Classic, which was held November 2-3, and the IHSA Sectionals in Debate, held February 22-23. The thirty debaters accomplished their goals, by increasing participation and determination by all participants.

The activi ties ranged from their various fundrai sers to planning their Greek dinner. Interested students took time out from their busy 5chedules to attend the monthly meetings held in the evening. Many of the club members exhibited enthusiasm as they were eager to particpate in the various club-sponsored even ts. Many of the fundraisers held aided needy organizations. Club member senior Linda Kontos stated, "We really had a good time participating in these events and our time and efforts were worthwhile." Some of the activities held included a dinner at a Greek restaurant, bake-sales, and the annual bike-a-thon. They also participated in an International Night that was held at Niles North by performing a Greek dance. The Hellenic Club provided cultural enrichment to all of its members.

"Shalon", "Echad, shitem, sholosh ... ", " I have a little drcidel ... " , "Shecket, b'vakashah!" Hebrew phrases and Jewish lyrics mixed together in a confused mass of singing, laughing, and shouting at each meeting of the Israeli Club. Students shared their memories and knowledge of the Jewish culture. Together the members were able to acquire a genial feeling towards their peers, as a special bond formed by learning about the past struggle that unified these otherwise separate and unique individuals. A Chanukah party was shared with the Hebrew classes, complete with spinning dreidel s, glittering gelt, and a shiny menorah. The Israeli Club extended the food selection to falafel, matzoh-ball soup, and hamentaschen, when it had an Israeli food cook-in. The members enjoyed the preparation as much as the resulting feast. The group also took a field trip to the Spertus College Museum, finding that by sharing impressions and emotions, one is presented with a new perspective of history. Even the typical candy-sale fundraiser was given a special touch when part of the profits was donated to an Israeli charity. Led by spon sor Alex Miron, President Anna Minkov, Co-Vice-Presidents Yana Margolin and Michael Jacobs, Secretary Melinda Ring. and Treasurer Marla Zissman, the group was able to participate in many new experiences.

Those noi ses became music with the talent and practice of approximately twentyfive musically-inclined students. The Jazz Band rehearsed two or three times a week to perfect its harmonious composition s. The band performed for the community and at various school functions, such as the senior assembly. In addition, these skillful players provided the music for the Orchesis dance show, and accompanied the troupe on tour. The spon sor Bill Koch sta ted, "Jazz Band is an excellent opportuni ty for students to become well-rounded musicians." The validity of this statement could be seen upon examination of th e wide range of music that the band played, with pieces extending from 'Tm in the Mood," by Glen Miller, to " Roxanne," by the Police. Senior saxophone player Nick Markos s ummed up his feelings when he commented, "Jazz Band allows us to let loose, express ourselves, and just have a great time!" �MOVIN' WHILE GROOVIN' f,177 Band-Front row: Bnan Kellmen, Daniel Kellman, Al Rosenblum, M.nk s,hwartz, Matt Klapman, Chns Markos, Todd Su<herman Second row: S,1m Yokhenbau, Jason Boehm , Steve Blonder, Evelina St1p1sic, Che1vl Emsson, C1nd1 Moss, Adam Miller, Marc Cooper Back row: Paul Hel,"ng, Lisa Larson, Josh Myers, Reed Davis, Jon Viner, David Rubin Whether at a football game, a parade, or a school assem bly, the M archi ng Band wa s always working hard.

Koch said, " I was pl eased with the overall con tribu tio n of the members of the Marching Band . The band, Color Guard, and Pom-Pon Girls worked well together, wh ich added to a very exciti ng show." After the football season came to a close, the Marching Band divided into two separate ensembles, the Concert Band and the Symphonic Band. These musicians perform at numerous functions throughout the rem ainder of the year, such as the H oliday Festival, the Bos ton Pops Dinner and Concert, and the May Festival. " It's a great feel ing when you' re in a fin e marchi~g band, symphonic band, or percussion ensemble," . stated sophomore Todd Sucherman. " We' re all of that There's a lot of pride."

This number lived on, implanted in the Spectrum '84-'85 staff's minds forever, a memory of wild 'n' crazy times, mapped out from day one. �Leading The Spirit Pack Seniors for School Spirit, one of the newest organizations at Niles West, has caught on fire with the senior class. " Founding Fathers" Larry Rivkin, Gus Atsaves, and Brad Kolar have organized activities such as hat day and traditional Hawaiian dress days. Seldom has school spirit been organized so that all seniors could participate. By word of mouth, "fun" days were announced. The next day was filled with crazy grass skirts or hats with wings like the FTD Florist! At the Homecoming Parade, S.F.5.5. even represented themselves with a Homecoming float. The group led the parade with painted faces and victory chants. Hopefully, the tradition of organized spirit for seniors will be continued. It gives all a chance to feel like they are an active part of their own se nior class. Furthermore, S.F.5.5. helps keep the seniors on top of the school, not just age wise, but especially spirit wise! With faces decorated, streamers flying, and ghetto blaster blaring, S.F.5.5. is ready to show the community that they mean business.

Senate had many forums for students to find out more about the school and policies. One such forum was " Rap with Ring", where students could talk to Dr. Don Ring - Principal and voice their opinions and concerns. Senior Lauri Balbirer said, " I enjoy student senate because I learned more about the student government." Balbirer also added, "Senate was characterized by inventive motions by Lee Maniloff-(the faded arrow)."

Student Union did just that, allowing students and faculty to enjoy the benefits of this enthusiastic group. From the beginning, it was all work, yet still fun. Chairmen were selected, and planning for Homecoming 84 began. As always, it was rush-rush and craziness for the months before Homecoming week, but the group pulled it off with style. As the name say>, . . UNION, the members worked together as one for the benefit of the entire school. The Homecoming week was aboard the Niles West Victory Ship, creating an atmosphere of sailing. Events occurred every day, including many new activities such as flipper races and a Bon Voyage celebration. "[ was impressed by the amount of people who worked to make Homecoming so successful. There were many chairmen and members who spent long hours and deserve a lot of credit for making Homecoming so special and spectacular," said Student Union President Julie Keller. Another new edition to Union events was the "Bash". The first of these bashes was the First Friday Night Bash after a basketball game, wrestling meet and swimming meet on December 7th. The bash was an informal social where students could boogie with their friends to the music of a Dance Experience Disc Jockey. Buttons sold out in less than two sets of lunch mods on Monday and Tuesday. The tickets were limited to 350 and after one day, 204 were gone. The new craze of the bash was continued with other bashes during the year. As new members poured in with ideas, new life was brought through student activities to the school. Above- After putting in hours of hard work planning homecoming events, Student Union members show their enthusiasm by riding atop their Homecoming truck. The parade allows Union members a chance to let their spirit soar. Music, dancing, refreshments and absolute fun were all part of the Bash on Friday, December 7.

A great deal of time and effort takes place behind the scenes. The Technical Service Club worked hard setting up microphones, lights, and other necessary prepatations for school assemblies and student play productions. Students came after school and on Saturdays to build, paint, and put the finishing touches on the set for a show. "Although it can be tiring and time consuming, all that work can be rewarding when you finish building something," commented sophomore Cheryl·Lanski."The Technical Service Club provides an opportunity for those who don't want to perform or didn't get in a show, to participate in theater," stated junior Andy Mills. The club also helped set up and run rentals. Rentals are when an outside group rents out the school auditorium. Cli.ib sponsor, Ms. Philibin worked closely with each member, giving directions and showing the technique used when building something for a show. Technical Service Club 157 ���Hot Off The Press Wh~le many students were learning, eating or studying during mods 20-22, the West Word staff was busy planning and preparing for the publication of their next issue and meeting deadlines. Walking by Room 103 between 12:15 and 1:00, many different sounds could be heard. "Jon ... I have late copy." " Make sure you get it into Son's" " Does anybody have a blue pencil?" "Where are my pictures?" " Did you hear the news?" " I need a headline book." "Who gets Papa's ad?" "Monday's copy due." "Captions help ... " "Samson." "Mr. Orr, we need your help." "Get the copy in on time." " Paste up." Long hours, cutting, pasting and more were involved in producing the West Word. The editors and reporters used their " noses for news," for they knew it could make or break the headlines.

You set your alarm clock to go off at 6:00. Usually it does not go off, so at 7:15 your dad comes in wakes you up. You get up, put some clothes on, and ask . your dad to drive you to school. By the· time you get to your locker, you have already missed homeroom and part of your first class. While putting your books away, you realize that you have forgotte_~ your math assignment that counts for half of your grade. You then go to the telephone to call your mom, when you realize that you forgot your wallet at home. While heading back to your locker you wonder what else could possibly go wrong, when a security guard stops you and asks to see your l.D. Reaching into your pocket, you remember that you forgot your wallet at home. You tell the security guard that you forgot it at home, but he does not believe a word you say. Two hours later, the secretary lets you go inside to see the dean. You tell the dean the same story you tried to tell the security guard. The dean lets you go because it was your first offense. Finally something has gone your way. While walking out the door, the dean stops you and says that you were marked absent, and it was unexcused. The dean also says that you have to serve two Saturdays because you missed all of your classes. You are going to flunk math, have a record, and have to serve two Saturdays just because you did not want to wake up at 6:00 a.m. Monday morning. a Dep. k 5-athy '87 Freshmen 193 �"High Schoolitis" Hits Freshmen After eight years, they finally made it to high school. It was a long wait, but it was worth it. Moving on was not as easy as it seemed. There was always that disease that traveled among incoming freshmen. Some called it the "High School Jitters," but it was more commonly referred to as "High Schoolitis." High school was very different from junior high. Moving from a big eighth grader to a little "freshie" was an uncomfortable change. There was a lot more homework and, in some classes, more pressure. One of the major changes was moving from a tiny Junior High to Niles West, with over 2,000 people. There were hundr~~s of_new people to meet. Freshman Cindy Gesklin remembered, "I came from a small school so it was both scary and. exciting moving into West with so many people." In 'the beginning, freshmen felt like they would never make it, but after a couple of weeks, they felt like they had been here all of their lives and suddenly, they were mysteriously cured of that awful disease, " High Schoolitis."

Well, it's a long story. You like long stories? It all started when I missed the bus and had to walk to school. I was strolling along Oakton Street when I noticed a little boy wandering into the middle of the morning traffic. With my quick reflexes, I ran to the boy, who was about to be struck by this giant steam roller, picked him up and got him to safety just in time. All was safe except for my backpack. I looked into the middle of the street with tears in my eyes hoping that the steam roller had missed it. To my dismay, I found my backpack, which contained my homework, as flat as a pancake. Alas, that is the truth." That truth got me four hours of detention. I thought my story was original, but Mr. Lopez said he had heard it a hundred times. I really try to do my homework, but I can only spend five minutes at a time with it, then I need an hour break for T.V. It's a no-win situation. Either you do your homework and your dog eats it or you don't do it and he eats it.

The worry is often caused by juniors and seniors who sometimes forget that they once were freshmen, and consequently pass on many pranks. Pranks, practical jokes and one-liners played on freshmen were numerous and often insulting. The trick to keeping the upperhand on upperclassmen is to pretend that it does not bother you and eventually the senior or junior will give up. To avoid falling victim to the "Senior Prank," beware of these initatives: do not buy elevator passes and do not accept directions on how to find a class, or you will end up at Room 02F. (For your personal knowledge, there is no Room 02F.) Another common prank is throwing pennies at unsuspecting Freshmen. Take cover and do not walk under stairwells. Seniors can be sly; beware of standing by an open locker, for you may be forced inside and spend up to three to four days in the locker before someone realizes what has happened to you. Beware of the sweat pants that you wear. Ask yourself these two questions. Should you A) wear sweats with draw strings? or B) wear cute underwear? Seniors are quick, they have depantsed many a frosh before. Ever since "Saturday Night Live" the Bill Murry "nuggies" have come. Careful, freshmen, "nuggies" can hurt, especially if repeated on numerous occasions. Wear a hat and Keep your head low. Now that you know how the seniors and juniors "Breaking" in the cafeteria sparks a new trend, as sophomore Tom Choe shows play their pranks, watch out and keep both your eyes and ears his stuff. open.

I use to sing this song when I was a Brownie in the third grade. Those were the good old days. I was care-free, with no worries except trying to be in the " In" group. Now that I have grown up and reached high school the last thing I need on my mind is my friends. It is hard to worry about friends when you have tons of homework, exams, and projects to be done. Since the first day of my freshman year I was worried about making friends, and making sure I didn't lose touch with my friends from junior high. I was terrified! There were so many people, it was mind boggling. When I walked into my home~ room I slapped on a big smile and I'd say hello to everybody. I felt like the biggest loser because everybody was friends , they all knew each other from jr. high. I sat twiddling my thumbs for ten minutes talking to myself. Once the bell rang I'd be the first one out the door. In between classes wa s the best part of the day for me. This time was my only chance to catch my sanity. Walking to class I would see my old friends , for I had not made any new ones yet. I stopped and talked for the five wonderful, glorious minutes I had. As time went by I started making new friend s by just saying "hello" . People who I thought were big. snobs were the friend liest people. I found out making new friend s did not mean losing the old ones. So it just goes to show, all it takes is a friendly hello and a smile.

As she walks in the door her parents start questioning and yelling at her. " It's already one in the morning. Where have you been?" "You are grounded from using the car for one month, young lady." Suddenly what had been a fun Saturday night turns into pure misery. Lisa runs to her room, slams the door, and wishes she had never been born. T-isa is no different than most teenagers. Everyone has problems and fights with his or her parents once in a while. However each teenager has his or her own way of dealing with these problems. Feeling sorry for yourself is one of the most popular yet least effective approaches. Wishing for new parents or a different life usually makes the person more unhappy than the argument itself. Frustrations are often taken out on friends. They tend to be yelled at or sometimes they have to listen to hours worth of reasons why YOU are right and your parents are wrong. Then there are those teenagers who realize that talking to their parents in a calm, rational way could help the situation. Instead of crying and complaining they simply express their feelings openly. Parents tend to listen more intently to a mature, reasonable conversation than an outburst of tears and complaints. So next time you feel your world collapsing around you because of problem parents, calmly express your feelings and COMPROMISE. Remember, your parents have feelings and are human, too.

It's toast and orange juice, once again. Glancing at the clock Tina flips up the collar on her polo, grabs her jacket and runs out to catch the bus. Do you think you are typical? Take this survey and find out. I sleep until: A) My alarm clock goes off B) My mother wakes me up C) The bus comes D) I never wake up, I'm asleep all day E) Other For lunch I eat: A) Cafeteria food B) At McDonald's C) My lunch from home D) Nothing E) Other If you picked letter E for every answer CONGRATULATIONS! All other answers were very typical. Before going to school you could always go jogging. For breakfast why don't you and some friends order a pizza and make them deliver it to the cafe. Be different, it could be lots of fun. Who knows, maybe you will start a new, not so typical trend.

Performing as a marimba player requires both muscles and musical talent. OVERSLEEPING IS: Getting up and not knowing where you are, who you are, or what you are doing! Looking at the clock, seeing it's 6:45 a.m., and running headfirst into the closed door right next to your bed! Throwing on all your clothes . . . backwards! Running two blocks to try and catch your bus, and still missing it! Being half asleep all day, and wondering why you ever rolled out of bed in the first place! Reaching for the mouthwash and accidentally gargling with Sea Breeze! Getting to school and realizing your purple pinned striped pants don't match your orange polka dot sweater! When halfway through English class you realize you grabbed your little brothers "Dick and Jane take Spot to the Zoo" rather than Shakespeare's "Macbeth!" Gummy Bears for breakfast! Being a senior and asking a freshman how to get to the cafe! Dealing with the comments people make about your wild, punked out hair style, because you did not have time to wash your hair. Begging your mother to call in for you! Explaining to your dean that you thought there was no school because of the hurricane in Texas! Feeding your dog goldfish food! Taking five minutes trying to open you're locker, until you realize it is not yours!

The pompon girls had a great season, filled with well executed dance routines. These are the typical illnesses of many Niles West students: 1. Shoulder Shlump- caused by carrying an overloaded . backpack over one shoulder. 2. Stomache Syndrome- begins approximately one halfhour after consuming cafeteria food. 3. Senioritis- the well-known disease that attacks unsuspecting seniors, causing laziness and total apathy towards school. 4. The Hair Habit- a common disorder among teenagers, afflicting them with uncontrollabie impulses to flip their hair back, constantly comb their hair, or look in the mirror to check their looks. 5. Studly Strut- found among many "jocks" who find the need to impress others, often the Hair Habit females. 6. Estudiante Epidemic- students with foreign language as part of their curriculum unknowingly insert foreign expressions, such as "Adios amigos," "Guten tag," or "Bonjour amies" into their daily conversations. 7. Computer Complexion- the neon glow that radiates from the faces of computer-oriented students. 8. Secret Scribbler- the artists who feel compelled to make doodles or scratch words (often obscene) into their desks, usually a direct result of extreme boredom. · 9. The Slow Stroller- a common nuisance to the traffic flow in the hallways, these people impede the journeys of others as they walk at one-tenth the normal speed. 10. Procastinating Pupils- the complement to the Slow Stroller, these students are always rushing off somewhere, often to a class that began five minutes earlier. 11. Indian Illness- temporary insanity, lasting for a period of four years, driving students to spirited acts, such as the smearing of war paint across the face.

You're afraid to look at the clock. You know you've overslept again. It's 6:25 and you have to be at the bus stop at 6:45. As you drag yourself out of bed, you realize that you have to shower, dry your hair, dress, get your books together, and eat breakfast in 20 minutes. You hop in and out of the shower, blow dry your hair half way, and quickly walk to your room. You stop in front of the closet. Clothes. What are you going to wear? You rummage through your wardrobe and pull out the first thing you get your hands on. You run from room to room gathering all of your books and speed to the kitchen and stick two pop tarts in the toaster. It's now 6:40. You grab the half-cooked breakfast you have prepared and rush out the door. In the process, your shoe slips off and you stop to pick it up. As the busdriver begins to pull away, he sees you running at full speed toward the corner. You climb up the stairs of the bus and feel everyone's eyes on you. You suddenly remember that you have one shoe on, when one of your enemies points out that you have two different socks on. As the bus approaches the school, you see two people. As you get a closer look, you recognize the two figures as your best friend and your boyfriend. This is definitely not your day. Trying to forget about your boy problems, you look forward to getting back the history final exam that you were sure you got an "A" on. The teacher passes out the tests and as she hands you yours, she gives you a disappointing stare. Your stomach begins to churn. You're scared to look at the grade but you peek through the paper and almost cry at the sight of a "D" written on the top. nd The last bell rings at 2:45 a_ you jog to the bus. As you sit down with a pile of books on your lap, you realize that you would have been better off staying in bed. Just another one of those days. Amy Grimaldi '88 Juniors Before the bell rings, junior Aneshia Winter is kept entertained when she watches fellow classmates. , .. �Jon Lisco Mandi Lobert Joe Lochner Jeff Lowell Jennifer Lund Ken Lurie Sue Maliwanag Mara Malnekoff Judy Man Ramsey Mankarious Richard Mariacher Allen Mark Chris Markos George Marks Julie Maslov Eric Master Alan Matan Erika Maurer Jennifer May Dennis Maybrun Carolyn Mayo Dawn Mazzetta Beth McCown Leo Medriano Tom Merkel Tomi Miklaj Tina Milios Adam Miller Chris Miller Andy Mills Diane Mimp Paul Miscinski Earl Mlekush Mary Moll Cindi Moss Elizabeth Moya Susan Mugrditchian Rob Munic Evanthia Nafpliotis Sanae Nakahata Brian Napravnik William Netzel Jay Newman Jodi Nock Dan Noel Dawn Nole Dena Novak Eric Nutting Shirley 0 .

On this day though, junior Joe Lochner finds no time to talk to friends as he thinks about his upcoming game. Soap operas came to Niles West in a flurry of who did what to who. It was common to hear in the halls, "What is going on in "General Hospital?"' Students tried to schedule their lunch mods around their favorite soaps. This enabled them to go home and watch the action. Other students taped the soaps to watch after school. Students who got out at 2:30 made it home in time to see the last fifteen minutes of General Hospital. Less fortunate students could always rely on the nighttime soaps. Dynasty, Dallas, Knot's Landing and Paper Dolls proved to be favorites among students and teachers alike. "My favorite television shows are Dynasty and Dallas," said sophomore Diane Smason adding, "I don't watch anything else during the week except these nighttime soaps." Students watched soaps for different reasons. Janet Rabin said, "I watch soaps because they keep my interest. You can't take them too seriously, but you can still have a good time watching them." Rabin's favorite soap was All My Children. "I get so into them and I love watching these people who have so many problems," said junior Michelle Burdeen. While some students took soaps a little too seriously, staying home just to see an episode and scheduling their lives around the soaps, if watched in proper amounts, soaps can be a fun, light form of entertainment. Soap operas are here to stay. If you are a "soap" fan, have fun and by the way, "Did you know that Luke and Laura are back on General Hospital?"

SENIORS". The Seniors rise to their feet and exclaim the chant over and over again. By far the seniors out spirit the rest of the classes. There seems to be such a strong bond when senior year rolls around that it is impossible to miss. That "bond" seems to really start during junior year. Junior year is a time that the students "must" seriously start to think. There are PSAT's, ACT's, SAT's, and consideration of future plans. The workload is tough but you know you'll live through it. Junior Paulette Arvanitis states, "Junior year is tense, there are a lot of things to be done but you know it'll be over soon, and there will be a time to kick back and have some fun!" Once the tension is gone, all that's left is relief. All that relief turns into pure WEST spirit. The Indian mascot turns to the side of the Juniors now and chants "JUNIORS JUNIORS" as loud as he can, but it's only second. Their competition is tough. No fear though, everyone knows next year that once those juniors turn into seniors that they'll be first.

A file cabinet once filled to capacity with photos has been ransacked by editors, staff and picture-nappers. There are no croppers. The typewriters still don't work well. Amidst the carbon sheets and broken orange cropping pencils, the Spectrum Staff sits back and laughs at the memories of putting together 10719 '84-'85. Marlow, in the Heart of Darkness, put it best when he said, " They can only see the mere show, and never can tell what it really means. " When the Spectrum comes out each year, people who read it see completed pages that took many hours and people to produce. Only the editors and staff know the work involved in order to produce a book for Niles West students and faculty to be proud of. Please remember ... To Clockwise - Sports Editor senior Diana Santillan shows off her dynamite new design for the sports section to junior David Bloom, Advisor Jerome Orr and Design Editor Jackie Sirajullah. Focussing in on the action in the yearbook room, junior David Bloom captures the moment. Bloom was not only a staff photographer, but a staff reporter for all sections of the book. While Happenings Editor junior Stephanie Leader picks out last minute photos, Copy Editor junior Lisa Sandlow and junior Sunny Park make up captions for the page. 290 Spectrum Staff err is human. Sorry if we mispelled your names. The entire staff deserves commendation for not only doing what the editors asked of them, but for putting up with me, "fall deliver", and our "We have to talk seriously" talks. Responsibility to meet deadlines rested on the editors, and they met them (sooner or later). Anna Karalis and Jenny Smith became known as the staff comedians. The twosome spent hours typing the Senior Surveys and putting together Seniors with style in the first deadline. Laurie Adams (Super Woman) not only did the Underclass Section, but also helped with the Academics Section. Leah Seef was the "incredible indexer" and another Underclass Editor. Melinda Ring and Linda Kontos pizzazzed up the Clubs Section and answered many "deadline phone calls". Stephanie Leader (Don't Worry I'll make the Deadline Editor} made every deadline and captured the events in the Happenings Section. Diana SantilIan (I need pictures editor} put together spectacular Sports Section with new layouts and "ac tion copy". Nikki Rich and Michelle Burdeen got the pictures taken, sometimes three and four times. Lisa Sandlow proofed the copy that was sometimes filled with s pelling and typing errors. Paula Krone did the amazing Academics Section with no previous experience. Jackie Sirajulla h did more than just keep me laughing with his sarcasm and quoted pictures of Jim King. Even at 2:00 a.m. working on the color section, we still managed to have some great laughs, chokes and falls. Sharon Krone proofed the copy, Josten's Representative Dennis Eder answered the many questions and Seii.or Orr did yearbook (even on newspaper time). Orr not only supplied the answers, but the Diet Coke, sugarless candies and gum as well. Although it seemed that we would never complete the Spectrum's 296 pages, we did it by working together and " Mapping it Out" deadline after deadline. Julie Keller Editor-in-Chief �Counter clockwise - While Club's Editor junior Melinda Ring sketches out plans for the clubs' section, Assistant Clubs' Editor senior Linda Kontos, Design Editor senior Jackie Sirajullah and Assistant Seniors' Editor senior Jenny Smith take time out to think about designs for their own pages. After the Underclass Section of the Spectrum is finished, junior Laurie Adams spends time helping junior Paula Krone with the Academics Section. After spending hours typing the Senior Surveys, seniors Jenny Smith and Anna Karalis look through pictures to include in the section. "Index work" is very tedious, but with the help of sophomore Jill Hedrich, r:e:f: liiiii;;:;;::::::::::::~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~;;;;.;so;p;h;o;m;;o;re;;L;ea~hSe 's::jo:b::is:a::lo:t:e:a:s:ie:r:.:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;;:;;iiiii;;I Spectrum Staff 291 �Separate Wavs As June finally arrived, students and faculty saw the results of their year planned out. Looking back we see a calendar filled with special dates and memorable events. Along the , journey we recall such sights as the first days of school. While some students were getting used to the new route, others were working on their last journey through this "Indian Territory". Midway along . the year's path, "West Travelers" stopped at such sights as: The First Friday Night Bash, The Boston Pops Concert, Shorts and Sunglasses Day, Homecoming Week, and the Battle of the Bands. As months passed, traffic changed and signals showed that an exit to a new route was up ahead. Signs directed "student journeyers" to Finals, Prom and Graduation. This path, Niles West, is only a small part of the map of life. For underclassmen, this path continues with more stops to be made up ahead before departure. Yet for seniors, this path prepared them for a greater road, with more stops to be made along the journey. Their itinerary ahead will take more careful planning and perhaps will include some detours and roadblocks. But the experience gained in "INDIAN TERRITORY" will provide the knowledge and foresight needed throughout life's journey and "MAPPING IT OUT". _ 292 Departure Far right: Unit_y . . .

These maps were followed from school's start in the fall. Classes were attended, grades, ranks and scores students know, Students attended HAPPENINGS from Bart Conner to the Gong Show. Athletes set records, many cruised down state, SPORTS were competitive, the Indians first rate. Above: Having Good Times ... School can be a place for fond memories as ~ell as hard work.

Join, fundraise, and plan in groups AFS to the Band, All of these CLUBS were found in Indian land. ACADEMICS included classes and teachers too, Some took computers and advanced courses were new. FRESHMEN found that meeting each other was lots of fun, First high school classes and assemblies were done. SOPHOMORES were already adjusted to school, Now driving their ears was "totally cool!" JUNIORS began looking towards college and more, ACT's, SAT's and applications were in store. SENIORS planned for that special graduation day, Memories of West and their friends will always stay. As school began in September, in June summer was alive, This was the MAPPING OUT of the years 1984-85.

A LAST LOOH . 258 ��Do you ever get the feeling that someone is watching you? Over thirty years ago, British novelist George Orwell predicted what life would be like in 1984. In Nineteen Eighty-four . . . Big Brother continually watched . . . Emotions were suppressed . . . people were forced to conform. Overall, man lost his individuality: He was told where to work, what to wear, who to marry, and, most importantly, what to think. But this is 1984 and that is not the way life is. Well, not exactly. Big Brother is watching. In 1984, Big Brother watched the Indians ... rip their sweatshirts ... T.P. houses ... gobble down peanut butter sandwiches . . . display their red and white ... paint their bodies with "Go Big Iled" . . . wear togas. And, most importantly, explode with school spirit. This is 1984, and Big Brothers is watching us have fun! ������������SPECiAL EVENTS �The Spirit Of. '87! The Freshman Class of 1987 was introduced to the true red and white spirit at a special assembly on Thursday, September 22, 1983. All freshmen got a glimpse of Niles West activities, such as the Math Team, American Field Service, (A.F.S.), students who travel abroad, and all the foreign language clubs. Ellen Havdala, assembly chairman, stated, "I was pleased to see that something that we worked so hard on turned out so well. All the people who spoke, as well as the porn pon girls and cheerleaders, did an excellent job. I think that this really opened the frosh minds and gave them an idea how they could make this year exciting by joining clubs and having school spirit." "At first the freshmen were inhibited about joining in with the cheers," said senior porn pon girl Becky Santos, "but as the true spirit of NI-WE-HI came through, so did the freshmen!" Freshman Lauri Margolin and friend Julie Doppelt both had stated, "We never knew there were so many clubs that we all were able to join as freshmen that were not even offered in Junior High. Some are even interesting!" Laurie Adams Promoting interest in school activities the senior porn pon members complete a routine at the Freshman Assembly. .. Showing that Niles West freshTnen have school spirit too, the freshman cheerleaJers get the crowd going at the Freshman Assembly. / ( 18 �Mistress of ceremonies, Ellen Havdala, talks to freshmen about the importance of taking part in school activities and clubs. ·"We're loyal to you Ni les West!" sing Senior Jill Rappin and Coach Odl ivak who coaches footbal l.

Getting ready to perform at the Fres hman Assembly, the marching band practices for the last time. 19 �Which high school event has the greatest attendance other than graduation? Many people would be surprised to know that it's College Night. This year, Niles West's tenth annual College Night had the greatest turn-out ever, with 5,000 upperclassmen and their parents coming to meet with representatives from across the country. During the course of the night, students could pick up admission applications and brochures, and also ask questions and receive immediate answers from the college people, therefore saving themselves much time. This event, in which 218 colleges participated, took place on September 27 for three hours. The students had mixed reactions. Junior Christie Guenther stated, "I think it was very informative, although it probably should have been two nights instead of one because I didn't have a chance to talk to all of the representatives I wanted fo." Senior Jojo Valenti commented, "It helped me narrow down my choices by telling me which college courses are required for the jobs that wiU be in demand in the future." Another senior, Connie Anderson, thought that some colleges spent too long talking about one branch of study, such as engineering. A number of students also suggested that filmstrips of the college campus be shown. Despite time limitations, many students felt that College Night gave them a new perspective toward their future education. College Fever In addition to colleges, members of the armed forces spoke to interested students about a military career. Senior Chris La liberty gets some information about the Army ROTC. �Planning ahead, junior Steve Disselhorst gets as much information as he can. Juniors as well as seniors attended College Night. At College Night Senior Ju lie Albach and friends exchange ideas about the colleges they prefer. Some colleges gave lectures and showed films about campus life. - COl l\ Ci Junior Va lerie Att ia is enticed by the idea of attending college. Most colleges in attendance handed out broc hu res a bout polic ies and extra curricular activities. Senior Lisa Hadden ponders as the representative from Shimer College puzzles her. Shimer is one in 2 17 colleges represented at College Night. 21 �Pentathalon Proves Popular Pentathalon Senior year will long be remembered by the class of '83 because it was the· first year for National Activities Week. For five days, thirteen clubs competed in the following contests: Monday: Peanut Butter Sandwiches. Each contestant on the team had to eat four sandwiches. Tuesday: Bubble Gum. Every person received a piece of Bazooka gum. They then had to unwrap the gum in their mouths and blow a bubble. Wednesday: Life Saver Pass. With one toothpick, each of the four contestants had to pass a lifesaver from one toothpick to another. The difficult part was having the toothpick between their teeth and not using their hands. Thursday: The 40-lnch Dash. There was a 40" string, attached to the end was a marshmallow. The object was to start at one end and suck-up the string until the marshmallow was in the mouth. Friday: Pie-Eating. Four people had to eat one chocolate pie with no help from his or her partner. The only part of their body they could use were their mouths. The Girls' Tennis Team squeezed in one point over the Varsity Cheerleaders for a narrow win. The Boys' Basketball team came in third place. Mr. Turry, the Director of Athletics, said, "The purpose of the contests was to highlight National Activities Week and call attention to all the activities offered to young people at Niles West." The contests were planned by Mr. Turry and will become an annual event. �- Girls tennis team member Ellen Havdala "snarfs-out" during the Pie Eating Contest.

This event took place October lst and provided numerous forms of entertainment. Music was played in the contest gym, but instead of the usual band, disc jockey Don Diwis was hired to play all the latest songs. Michael Jackson's "Beat It" and "Billy Jean," and the song "Maniac," from the hit movie "Flashdance," inspired many people to get up and dance. In the north-south gym, students could participate in team sports such as basketball and volleyball. During the course of the evening students could visit the cafeteria to find out about some of the clubs offered at Niles West. Some organizations that were represented were Spanish Club, Aeronautics Club, the Theater Department, the Pom-pon Squad, Student Union, and Student Senate. The purpose of the event was to introduce freshmen to Niles West life and to the people that will be sharing the next four years with them. "Everyone on the dance floor!" said the D.J. The freshman are booging-to the beat, and as David Bowie would say, "Let's dance." Above. Meeting new people for freshman has to be the most scary experience on entering high school. Here freshman chat and get to know each other. Right. There were things to do at the mixer besides dancing and talking to have some fun. This freshman takes his best shot at making a basket. 24 �/ Parents Enlightened On Wednesday, October 26, parents of Niles West students had the chance to meet the "ogres" of their children's classes, at the 27th annual Open House. Open House gives parents an opportunity to experience the students' point of view of classes, teachers, and the bustle of a school day. With the frequent mod bells, some parents were confused about when to begin and end classes. As one parent said, "I just don't understand how you kids do it." In the cafeteria, parents were able to meet with the different organizations such as AFS, Student Union, Class Cabinets, and a few of the athletic teams. While meeting with these organizations, parents were able to munch on goodies ranging from apples and donuts, to popcorn. In the background, the Wes tones, along with Orchesis, performed as entertainment. Because of this friendly atmosphere, parents were drawn to the cafeteria rather than classrooms, not unlike their children. Publication teacher J. Orr speaks to news writing students' parents at open house. He explains such things as · classroom activities, homework, and the grading system. Above while enjoying a cool glass of cider, a parent listens to junior Valerie Attia and senior Jacqueline Plonus explain the complicated Niles West map. Both Attia a nd Plonus are representatives of AFS. Right at open house cheerleaders serve as aids to parents in finding their way around. Senio r Jill Piper directs this parent to his daughter's class. �New Homecoming Activity; A Success Niles West held its first after-school pep assembly on Friday, October 28. Just like last year's twilight pep rally, it was held outside at Basrak Field. This change was made in an attempt to gather more people together for the assembly. At the assembly, last year's Homecoming King, Van Stamos, and Queen, Cindy Atsaves, crowned Jacqueline Plonus and Steve Erickson as the new Queen and King. They also acknowledged Homecoming Court members Lynne Levey, Jackie Levin, Devra Lipsky, Staci Munic, Jeff Joss, Tony Konsewicz, Joey Rodgers, and Ramsey Rodgers. The assembly continued with speeches made by Robyn Harris and Erica Stone. Fans helped cheer along with the Varsity Cheerleaders. The assembly was highlighted by the routine done by the Porn Pon Squad. The traditional burning of the Highland Park effigy brought the assembly to its end. The Homecoming Parade followed the conclusion of the assembly. At the outdoor ass.embly. the varsity football players show their enthusiasl!' by cheering on the speakers, their captains, Tony Tnp1cch10, Jeff Okamura, a nd Jim Baffa. �"And now announcing th is year's Homecoming King and Queen ... "Senior Robyn Harris tells the fans in the bleachers the good news. Another Ni les West tradition is carried out. The burning of the effigy, in this case the Highland Park Giant, symbolizes Indian strength and the spirit needed for a victory. ~· I Cheerleaders are the main part of any pep assembly becuase without them it would be difficult to show school spirit. The cheerleaders await anx iously to show the whole school just how spirited they are. Varsity football captains Jeff Okamura, Tony Tripicchio, and Jim Baffa wait to make their Homecoming speech. Many activities took place at the assembly in hopes of getting the team ready for the big game. 27 �Go-Go-Go 1-n-.dians! GO-GO-GO, 1-N-DIANS! This is what you would have heard at the Homecoming assembly from all the enthusiastic classes in their traditional contest to see who had the most spirit. Another part of the festivities was the competition among all the clubs in making a spirit panel. The spirit panel was a decorated board representing the group. The Art Council won for the second consecutive year with their talent and creative design. The second part of the assembly was an introduction of the football and soccer teams' coaching staffs. The coaches introduced their team members and team stars, along with some new categories to recognize certain players. These players were named as having the best smile, being the team clown, being voted "centerfold", having most team spirit, and being mostself-conscious. The cheerleaders joined the pom-pon girls in displaying their ability to dance. Along with the exciting new dance to the theme song from "Risky Business" were some pretty impressive mounts and formations. The pom-pon girls always put on an impressive show, but their explosive routine to the song from "Staying Alive" and their shimmering new porn-pons really ended the assembly in high spirits. This is their year' The highlight of the assembly was the naming of the HQmecoming Court, which consisted of five senior girls a nd five senior guys all very excited to have been chosen to be on court. �.. The varsity cheerleaders work hard to earn the name "varsity". Along with attractive formations and dance were clever mounts whose message is spelled out clearly in red and white. Learning a porn pon routine is no easy task. Junior Stephanie Resnick executes her coordination by ba lancing on one knee. A spirit panel is no ordinary piece of pegboard. The Art Council won first prize for the second year in a row. The cheerleaders and porn pon girls did a great job to keep the crowd going, but Mrs. Friedman and Mr. Odlivak show everyone who's the real crowd warmer! 29 �Parade: Homecoming. Day Finale The Homecoming Parade, sponsored by Student Union, took place October 28 immediately after the indoor assembly. As the various floats traveled through the streets of Lincolnwood, Niles, Skokie, and Morton Grove they were judged in terms of originality, neatness, and theme. The winners of the three categories were: car Senior Class Cabinet; float - Recycling; and truck - Wrestlettes. Sophomores Judy DeAcetis and Kris Justesen commented," The floats this year were more creative than those in last year's parade. Hearing the band play and seeing the pride in our school displayed by both the people participating in the parade and the spectators helped make the parade a success." All those present showed great enthusiasm and spirit which continued throughout Homecoming weekend. "How!" This is probably what you would hear from senior Brenda H_ill. The war paint and ancient Indian decorations are worn to represent the most sacred part of spirit at Niles West, our mascot. "76 trombones led the big parade!" Trombones weren't the only instruments that led the parade. The Niles West Marching Band was a main attraction with its big sound. 30 �From a "big" bunch of guys comes a GO BIG RED! This noat represented the wrestling team who made a "big" accom plishment last year, a trip downstate. Mr. Stein, leader of t he pac, represents the Senior C lass Cabinet with a decorative noa t which obviously shows group e ffort. This noat won first place in the Homecoming Parade ca r noa t ca tegory. "We're number one!" Many people were never even aware that Niles West had a gi rls a nd guys gymnastic team. Their clever and original way of displaying themselves sure got them the recogn ition they wanted and deserved. Future Miss Americas? Could be! These four beauties, seniors Staci Munic, Jackie Levi n, Devra Lipsky, and Lynne Levey take their victory ride as honored court members. 31 �Giants Fall To The Ground, Indians Are Victory Bound "Giants fall to the ground, Indians are victory bound" was the theme for the Homecoming football game against the Highland Park Giants. The Indian team came into the game with a recent victory over Waukegan East and were ready to stomp on the Giants. They started off well but by halftime were trailing 14-0. The team's only touchdown came late in the fourth quarter with a long pass to senior Roger Chams. The game ended with a tough 29-7 loss for the Indian team. Though they were not victorious the players remained spirited throughout the entire game. Hundreds of fans and alumni gathered to show their support for the team. Half-time highlights included an exciting ensemble by the marching band and Porn Pon squad. Seniors Ramsey Rogers, Tony Tripicchio, and Steve Erickson keep their e.Yes on the ball after :t puht. A ll three varsity players finished their high school career with the game aga inst Deerfield. · �From the sidelines, Coach Richardson calls out the plays while Coach Stewart attentively keeps his eye on the game. ~ Before the game football captains Jim Baffa and Tony Tripicchio flip for the choice of kicking or receiving. The captains won the toss and began the game by kicking off to the Giants. Indian defensive back Roger Chams tackles a Highland Park offender. Chams ended the season by being selected as a member of the all conference team. Senior David Shane along with the rest of the Indian team anxiously awaits to see if they have made a first down. To their disappointment, the team was left with fourth and inches. 33 �Let's Dance Did you ever have a fantasy that you were on a deserted island? Being at the 1983 Homecoming dance was the next closest thing to having that fantasy come true. Dimmed lights and a glass ball that sparkled every time the lights hit it were part of the scenario that night. But if you think that the evening was calm and serene, it was quite the opposite. The rockin' and rollin' band, "On Stage," kept dancers on their toes and swinging all night long. Every couple was recognized by having their names written on a fantasy seashell. As the evening came to a close, fantasy was replaced by reality, but the memories of this fantasy will never be forgotten . Scott Pflaumer and Andrea Thilmany get in step to the sound of On Stage. This. musical beat kept couples busy all night. Right: Taking adva ntage of an uncrowded dance floor seniors Ellyn Friedman and Allan Gerszonovicz boogie down. Above: Slow dancing swaying to the music proves to be popular for most dancers. Here co'iJ'les are shown cuddleing close . . �Niles West In Disguise Along with costumes and nameless characters, Halloween once again roamed the hallowed halls of Niles West. There were bunnies and vampires, aliens and doctors. Many people liked the idea of turning back time to when they used to " dress up," even teachers. As Jo Jo Valenti said as she hopped on by, "This was the most fun I have had at school in a long time." Halloween is known for ghosts and goblins. Senior Kathy Murray dresses in a rather "ghostly" costume. Above. "Leave the money in the third garbage can by the dump or else!" Senior Howatd Brown is Al Capone on Halloween day. Right. Are you making fun of my outfit? Put up your dukes and let's fight about it!" Senior Gregg Sherman and sophomore Tom Merkel have an all out boxing match in the hall. �Rhythm Of Life Twenty-five of Niles West's most talented singers, dancers, actors, and actresses performed Pow Wow '83, entitled, "Rhythm of Life," on November 3, 4, and 5. The auditorium seats were filled with anxious people waiting to see the performance. Pow Wow, as always, is written by students only. This year's play was written by senior Kevin Schulman. Seniors Chris LaLiberty and Jerry Strange directed the play with the assistance of senior Andy Lawler. Juniors Lori Kaplan and Nancy Yamaguchi choreographed the play's many dance numbers. Junior Kathy Feingold, vocal director, directed the musical numbers. "Rhythm of Life" was a play consisting of ten smaller skits. Each skit followed the theme of Pow Wow '83, "courage." This theme was strongly developed in the play, especially during the final number to "Body Electric." "We put a lot of hard work into the play and had a great time doing it," proudly states sophomore Heather Ross, a cast member. Pow Wow '83 entertained the crowds and kept them laughing. Jo-Jo, played by freshman Rebecca Kolber, is desperately trying to sell remaining boxes of fudge. "If I only had courage," sings Rebecca. Rehearsing their lines are Pow Wow cast members Molly Edelstein, Lily Kornhauser, Heather Ross, Damian Moshak, and Jon Soble. Happily they , discuss the Age of Aquarius. �Joining hands, Molly Edelstein and Heather Dolittle share the fears of an opening night. But, they both know there is no business like show business. Reading from a book is Aquarian Heather Ross. In the book Heather a nd Niel Tobin learn of life other than an Aquarians' life. Aquarian Prime, sophomore Howard Tiersky, preaches to his Aquarian court. There are some mixed emotions about his ways of ruling. Gamblers, Jon Soble, Neil Tobin, a nd Howard T iersky , meet at the usually, designated spot. Here they pick their daily horse fo r the races. 37 �Rumplestiltskin The Children's Theater presented a delightful version of Rumplestiltskin. Melissa Lewin starred as Rumplestiltskin, the somewhat evil little elf; Alan Auerbach was featured as Marianne's father, the miller; Damian Moshak acted as Toby, the mindless savior of the day; Sari Rubin creatively played the Queen Mother; Howard Tiersky cleverly enacted the part of the Chamberlain; Steve Blonder portrayed the dignified King; and Sonia Bychkov masqueraded as Marianne, the girl who spun gold. As usual, the Children's Theater drew rave reviews! Laurie Adams Showing off his finished product, Rumplestiltskin holds up ; sparking thread of gold. �Juniors Steve Blonder and Howard Tiersky practice their lines fo r the performance. Rumplestiltskin was the childrens theater play this year. Maryanne tells her father about her visits from Rumplestiltskin. Rumplcstiltskin works hard to turn a ll the stra w to gold before the king returns. Junior Sari Rubin listens to Howard Ti ers ky tell her about th e magic spi nnin g that has come off of this wheel. 39 �Dames At Sea Did you ever wish you could be a fireman, or a doctor, or even a star on Broadway? This dream came true to life on the stage of the Niles West theater department. The play that made a girl's dream come true was called, "Dames at Sea". The story was centered on a small town girl from Ohio who had a flaming desire to be on Broadway. When she got there, she found out that life wasn't just a bowl of cherries. Before opening night, the top officials want to tear down the theater to make a roller rink. They thought that was progress! The whole show was moved to a big ship. Everything was on schedule again. Uh Oh! What now? The star of the show got ill, and was unable to perform. The show must go on! None other than the little girl from Ohio would come through now. The part was brilliantly put on by Julie Moltz, as the girl on Broadway. This wasn't an ordinary play, mind you. The stage crew built a 40 foot, double decker boat for the scene, and this famous set of craftsmen were also seen on the stage as sailors. The costumes were all designed by Miss Rita Stewart. These crafty a nd dazzling pieces of art were all hand made out of silk. The Theater Department not only put on "Dames at Sea", but also proved they were true "actors at large"! Getting ready to go on stage, Julie Moltz, who plays Ruby, and Lili Kornhauser, who plays Mona, add finishing touches to their faces. �It's true love! Ruby a nd Dick let each other know their innermost fee lings. Singing in the openi ng act are Stefanie Akwa. Rachel Trachtenbe rg. Kathy Feingold, a nd Lili Kornhauser. While planning for their honey moon, this loving couple s ings "Choo Choo Honeymoon." Nei l T obin pl ays Lucky the sa ilor while Kath y Fe ingold pl ays J oan the chorus g irl.

In their fourth game of the season against Glenbrook North, the Varsity Football Team showed exceptional skill and an outstanding team effort. In this key game the Indians picked up their first win. Their determination was evident in the final score of 26 - 7. Another highlight of the season came on October 15th at Glenbrook South. At this sensational game, the Indians upset seventh-ranked South at their Homecoming with a score of 17 - 14. Coach Richardson stated, "I'm really optimistic and think we could beat any team we play. This team has great capabilities with the talent to win - they just have to do it. They're a hard working group of boys and I think we will surprise a lot of people by the end of our season." The starting line-up consisted of: Jim Baffa (capt.), Roger Chams, Jack Dahm, Steve Erickson, Bob Flood, Allan Gerszonovicz, Mike Grujanac, John Kotsiopoulos, Joe Klancnik, John Koudounis, Lou Maltezos, Jeff Okamura (capt.), Joey Rodgers, Ramsey Rodgers, David Shane, Gregg Sherman, and Tony Tripicchio (capt.).

Casten says of his players, "We made a lot of progress, but only having 17 players on a team that requires 11 men to be on the field at all times is, to say the least, difficult." Some of the key players in the Frosh scene were Kevin Bradbury, quarterback, Bennie Guy, halfback, Paul Kasprak, fullback, and J .J. McCulloh, center. "These guys look good for the future,'' said Casten. "Also it was great working with Coach Erbe. He is a great disciplinarian as well as a very funny guy." Preparing for their varsity years, the Sophomore Football Team, led by Head Coach Bob Murphy, has learned the evervaluable "system." The "system" introduced by the Varsity Head Coach Bill Richardson, is the offensive "wishbone" and the defensive "50." Coach "Murph'', as many call him, said. "The boys have come a long way from freshman year. They have learned the system and been able to move the ball well." This improvement may be attributed to the offensive line, coordinated by Assistant Coach Mel Schmidt, and the development of special teams by Assistant Coach Carl Van Cleave. Coach Murphy concluded, "The special teams helped keep us in, and win games this year. Coaches Van Cleave and Schmidt did a great job this year." Sophomore running back D.

This year the team fared well in their news conference with big wins over Glenbrook South and Waukegan West. The nucleus of this year's team consisted of Seniors Bob Straub, Rich Meyer, Barry Margolin, Seeson Yoo and Bill Numrich. "It was the defense of Meyer, and the offense of Margolin and Yoo that kept us alive. This was the best season, I've ever had, and I hope to continue in my soccer career," Straub concluded. The Junior Varsity Soccer Team had a great season with only one loss to Maine South. Key players consisted of Ken Wexler, Angelo Costas and Eric Stromeir. The final record was 11-1. Wexler claims, "Next year we will go undefeated." The coach was in his first year, Dave Hart. Front row: D. Hahn, B. Margolin, A. Borjon 2nd row: S. Yoo, B. Re inhardt, P. Davis, R. Meyer, J.

Freshman B Soccer had back to back victories over Main East, 4-1 and Niles North, 2-0. The team had a positive attitude as they bounced back from early season losses to powerhouses like New Trier, Evanston a':ld Glenbrook North. "Improvement in playing skill and understanding of the game was quite noticeable," said Coach Marv Klebba. "Freshman B Soccer gives players an opportunity to develop their skills and gain valuable game experience," added Coach Klebba. "We hope to see these players become members of the varsity team someday."

After a great finish last year the team gave indications of becoming a major contender in the Central Suburban Conference. "Talent certainly wasn't lacking among our players," stated Captain Scott Manzara, "but during match play the fellows just didn't perform as well as they had during practice sessions." The seniors took a dismal sixth place in the conference meet and finished the season with 1-11 record overall. Despite this disappointing outcome, freshman Tom Joseph shot a career low of 34 against rival Main South and came in with a score of 83 at the state regional. Other bright moments were shown by junior Jeff Krakow and much-improved senior Howard Brown. The frosh -soph golfers luck paralleled that of the varsity with the exception of losing many close matches. Coach Galla commented that, "The freshmen showed much improvement while the sophomores will have to put in a lot of hard work over the summer to help the varsity." The frosh-soph team finished the season with a 2-10 record and took a disappointing sixth in the conference. However, the year didn't seem a total loss due to some good scores turned in by sophomores Brad Piser, John Spagoletti, Dave Cohen and Brad Bugai. In addition, up and coming freshman Mike Friedman helped the team with some fine play at the conference. Sophomore Dave Cohen concentrates as he lines up his putt for par.

It was a big disappointment to lose our top two runners before the season even began. Our sophomore runners worked very hard to achieve a winning varsity record. They were also instrumental in motivating the freshmen to do well and also have a winning record," explained head coach Patrick Savage, as he discussed the Cross Country's 1983 season. Although the team had no all-conference runners, many young prospects stood out, especially top prospect Rocky Lee. Unfortunately, another All-conference runner last year, Jim Woodier, was out all season with a knee injury. On the girls' side of Cross Country, many young stars ran with flying colors. They included freshman Cathy Campell and sophomore Falisha Backshy. All-conference runner Jenny Campell was not able to complete this year because of injury.

The Girls' Tennis Team had all of these qualities and more, backed up by team spirit and support that kept them together throughout the season. With a record of 5 wins and 8 losses, and placing fourth in Leagues, the Varsity Team had many outstanding members. Only one could be "most valuable player," however, and that was Ellen Havdala. Ellen was also captain of the team, and will be graduating this year along with eleven other girls. Coach Winans stated, "It's going to be rough next year without the graduating seniors but we'll give it our best shot!" Although the team favored to win Districts was Highland Park, the Indians gave them a run for their money. Ellen Havdala demonstrates a very forceful return during warniup. FRONT ROW: M. Hol, S.

Their record may not show the advantage of the switch in Conference, but the spirit and togetherness of the team did. Captain Sharon Brabec lead the team in cheers before the meets. Also helping her were three seniors, Caryn "Ruby" Rubenstein, Chris Martin, and Sandy Valencia. Coach Nick Whelan and Assistant Coach Barb Palenski were very proud of the girls at Regionals. They placed sixth out of thirteen teams, and averaged one best time per girl. However, the girls wouldn't have placed that high in Regionals if it weren't for the divers. Karina Doyle placed sixth in Regionals and third in Conference, and Karen Palin placed seventh in Regionals and fourth in Conference after coming back from a back injury. Diane Rubenstein came up from the Junior Varsity Team to dive Varsity and did a fine job, a lso.

With only three seniors, this team lacked experience but they didn' t lack enthusiasm. All conference player Kathy Solkaski led the team with many vicious spikes. Karen Wilczewski, who was named MVP, pl'ayed very well all around all season long. The team's seasonal record was disapointing. Even though this record isn't very impressive, the team showed late season progress with steady play from juniors Deanne Zych, Carol Billisits, and Debbie Ciskowski.

The freshman B. coached by first year Coach Shane also managed to put together a team with the ability to compete in the tough Central Suburban South Converence. Hard times fell upon this year's sopho-more team. This team however didn't lack size having three players over six feet two inches and, yet this wasn't enought to make up for the lack of experienced players on the squad. Coach Miner spent many a long day trying to get the team to gain this needed time by playing eight to nine players a game. A big bright spot was the playing done by freshman Greg Czernik who was moved up late in the season.

"The boys took on roles that made them blend in with each other, and therefore they functioned as a team." This team was led by All-Conference guard Louis Atsavas, who was the only junior starter on the team. Seniors Joe Rodgers, Tony Konsewicz, Bill Terpinas and Roger Chams were the other four starters and the provided the "good attitude" that Capitani wanted. "The boys played very well as a team and when the replacements came in they filled the roles of those starters who took to the bench," stated Capitani. Senior Roy Kowalski, junior Jack Dahm, and sophomore Mike Cristante were these replacements. "The teamwork was important," stated Rodgers, "we also had a positive attitude a nd we all had confidence in each other." 'f.~" ..... ,-' / 1..: .> -...:: :-;... . . ._c ,,...

The thirteen players included two freshmen, six sophomores, and five juniors. Out of the twenty games they had to play, the high scorers were Rose Mikalaj and Kim Sobczak. The captains were Sherry Dougal and Sheila Murray. Coach Klebba comments, "What they lack in speed and ability, they make up for in intelligence and desire." Cathy Tamraz adds, "It's a lot of fun, but hard work. You really have to be dedicated to the sport." Hard work, dedication, and Niles West spirit characterized this year's Girls' Freshmen Basketball Team. "They got a slow start, but it looks promising," said Coach Fendt who added that her goal for the players was to prepare them for the Junior Varsity and Varsity teams. Despite hours of rigorous practice, team members enjoyed their first experience with high school basketball . 2 Coach Klcbba reviews the next play.

Four year Varsity Bowler, Lisa Downey states, "We had a great season and I had a great four years on the team." Other top bowlers included were Paige Pawelek and Senior first year Bowler Carol Netzel. Netzel was regarded as a more or less the team's "clutch player." "She did not always have the highest average, but she did really pull through with flying colors at key meets," states Coach Sue Hoffman. Showing perfect form is bowler A.

The team made great strides towards becoming a new power in the CSL North Division. Goals set by the team included: winning conference, having a number of swimmers make all-conference, and qualifying as many swimmers to the state meet as possible. An excellent coaching staff led by Head Coach Nick· Whelan, Assistant Coach Barbara Palenske, and Diving Coach Don Larson helped the swimmers achieve these goals. Not only did the coaches work with the team during the season, they also ran a strong grade school program throughout the year. The boys were 4-1 by Christmas and headed toward a winning season. The swimmers were led by co-captains Geoffrey Bloomfield, Distance freestyle, and Tom Gut, butterfly. Junior freestyler Dan Makan and Sophomore all-around swimmer Alan Dasow also helped the team greatly. Outstanding divers included sophomore Jim Kobyleski, Ray Santos, and Alan Teschky. left to right: E. Sanchez, D. Haberkorn, D. Wiseman, T. Roma, M. Lvisik, J. Marcus, R. Santos, M. Meyer, J.

Wrestling holds like the "double grape vine" and the " power hair' have also been used throughout the season for numerous victories. Head Coach Fred Richardi stated, "Wrestling is a wierd sport; it's like playing a game of chess, only using your body. The team is also extremely close to each other. In a match, if one wrestler fails to win, the other feels as though he has to pick up the pace and win. Wrestling is an individual sport with a team concept in mind. This year's goal is onward to state, and get ugly!" Individual achievements go to outstanding seniors, Danny Rotblatt, Steve Erickson, Billy LaManna, Tony Tripicchio, Phil Lotsoff, and Jose Gonzalaz; juniors, Steve Brabec, Robert Gershbein, and Brad Kolar, plus spectacular "smurfs" Mike Lochner, and Matt Unterberger; and sophomore stars, Dean Bravos, Doug St.Marie, and Scott Binstock.

This year the team may lack experience but has a very bright future. After having several top contenders from Niles West move on to excellence such as Bart Conner and Matt Samuelson the team will be relying on the efforts of Senior Tony Avella.

Head Coach George Galla said, "Our season was based on the performances of our battery. Roy's curve was a big part of it." As for the rest of the team, Galla felt that having six of the seven other fielders being seniors was the key to leadership and success. Returning All-Conference seniors, shortstop Mike Frank and center fielder Dave Shane, were an important part of the team's chemistry, according to Galla. The big bats for the Tribe came off the shoulders of senior first baseman Jim Baffa and D.H. Sam Butera. "They displayed the raw power that we needed." stated teammate Carl Coloian.

It's also fun, and these men enjoy the company and competing against each other in a friendly game of hoops. Dr. Cocking started the idea fifteen years ago, although he has been doing it since 1961.

This year's cabinet consisted of fifteen students. The students met during mods 14-16 in room 111. The officers elected for the cabinet were President Patricia Kirstein, Vice-President Lindsey Hershenhorn, Treasurer Melissa Ferdman and Secretary Hollie Sobel. The cabinet sponsor was Ms. Nash.

President Jon Lisco and Vice-President Garret Feinberg led the cabinet to a very successful year and Mrs. Sharon Krone, sponsor, was helpful in the planning and production of the activities. The other officers were treasurer, Rhonda Bergman and Secretary, Judy Zemsky. The cabinet planned many activities. As traditionally done, they organized the Frosh-Soph mixer. The goal of this mixer was to make the freshmen feel welcome. With the artistic ability of Dean Novak, the cabinet's Homecoming Spirit panel won an impressive second place. For the time in Niles West history the cabinet planned the Battle of the Bands. "We put in a lot of hard work, and fun doing it," stated officer Judy Zemsky. 100 President Patricia Kirstein and a cabinet member discuss the lay-out of their spirit panel.

Senior Class Cabinet Officers: Ross Much, John Koudounis, Jacqueline Plonus and Jackie Levin. Students who decided to join Junior Cabinet had the exciting opportunity to plan many fun and important events. The cabinet's officers were President Barry Gurvey and Vice-President Dana Rugendorf. Mrs. Horwitz, sponsor, helped the cabinet arrange the many successful activities promoted this year. During this school year these active juniors could be seen setting up the class of '85 Volleyball Tournament, a charity auction, or a candy-o-gram sale. The highlight of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom. The Junior Cabinet was given the responsibi lity to plan this important event. "This year's cabinet is a high-spirited group who have good ideas and a fun time as well," stated Vice-President Dana Rugendorf. Senior Cabinet Helps Needy Senior Cabinet consisted of approximately 25 members of the class of '84, including President John Koudounis, Vice-President Ross Much, Secretary Jackie Levin, and Treasurer Jacqueline Plonus. With the help of sponsor Roger Stein, the cabinet enjoyed a year dedicated to class activities and charitable causes. This year's cabinet produced a first place prize-winning Homecoming car. They also planned their annual Hull House Christmas Party. The cabinet sold senior class T-shirts and played a very important role in the planning of graduation. "I am very happy to be working with such a spirited, charitable group of students. I am proud of their accomplishments," answered Mr. Stein, when asked to comment about this year's Senior Cabinet. 1st row Tony Konsewicz, sponser Roger Stein, Richard Chi. 2nd row Sari Kreiter, Karen Minkof, Deura Lipsky, Sally Cohen, Karen Seigal, Stacy Strongin. 3rd row Ca rrie We in berg, Erica Stone, Staci Munic, Robyn Harris, David Zemsky. 4th row J ackie Levin, John Koudounis, Ross Much, a nd Jacqueline Plonus 101 �AFS Sends Students Abroad AFS gives students a chance to experience a foreign country through the eyes of a native instead of the impersonal viewpoint a tour guide provides. Junior Valerie Attia and Senior Jacqueline Plonus, the club presidents, can verify this statement as a result of their trips to Japan and Peru last summer. Four other students presently at Niles West would be able to tell their opinion on the special aspects of a "foreign" culture that can be learned by staying with a family. They are: Maria Noussi, from Greece, who is staying with the Campbell's; Rachel Imhauser, from Belgium, presently under the care of the Rugendorfs; John Karamichalis, from Cyprus, Greece, housing with the Steele family; and Hans Dzieda, from Germany, staying with the Mahan household. Future AFS exchange plans hopefully will include sending seven students abroad during the summer and one during the academic year, an unusually large number. Since AFS attempts to provide each student with $300 - $500 to supplement the two thousand dollars necessary to complete the three month stay, a great portion of club time was spent fund-raising. The rest of the time was spent attending ethnic activities such as the International Pot-Luck Dinner. \ Front row: Patricia Kirstin. Heather Ross. June Yang.

Their loyalty could be heard loud and clear at every game. Whether they were winning or losing, the cheerleaders were always by their side encouraging the Indians every second. The varsity cheerleaders proved to be most energetic. Their devotion and love for their team were displayed on numerous occasions as they jeapordized their health by cheering half of their football season in pelting rain. For the first time at Niles West a Spirit Squad was formed. These boys helped the cheerleaders in various complicated mounts, stunts, and jumps. The girls cheered their hearts out at every game and proved to be the Indians most loyal fans. They practiced long hours over the summer and attended a U .S.C.A. Cheerleading Camp competing against many other squads. There they improved and won the prized award, "The Spirit Stick" (Hippoty-hoppety horse). The sophomore cheerleaders sparked a lot of spirit this year that they had been deprived of their freshman year. At every game the cheers of sophomores, led by the cheerleaders, rooting their team on was loud and clear. As Laurie Adams stated, "This year was wild! The crowds were very supportive and rowdy. You could see in their eyes that they were proud to be sophomores!" The sophomore squad attended U.C.A. Cheerleading Camp at Purdue University in Indiana. The freshman cheerleaders worked very well under pressure,. Despite the fact that they had one week to learn all their cheers and perfect them, the freshmen got their act together in a hurry. They worked very well together and showed a definite finesse for the cheerleading sport.

These girls showed talents ot her than cheerleading as they performed a marvelous dance routine at the in-school pep assembly. Varsity cheerleaders show a unique "push-up" mount. Many practices were dedicated solely to learning new moun ts. The freshmen squad show their stuff at the freshmen assembly. The sophomore cheerleaders cheered their team on to victory during the Homecoming game. Members of the Spirit Squad help the girls perform a side-line cheer. The Spirit Squad is a new addition to West activities. The cheerleaders are "going all the way" at the out9oor pep assembly. Many hours of practice were put into the Homecoming routine. 105 �Porn-Pon Girls Perform Enthusiastically Being a pom-pon girl was not all glamour and popularity. It required hard work and a great deal of dedication on the part of every one of the girls. Along with the long hours of practice, which often lasted three hours a night, each member of the squad had to keep a 2.0 grade point average or risk having to turn in her porn-pons! The co-captains of the squad were Jackie Levin and Danna Kaplan. They both showed a great deal of enthusiasm and leadership throughout the season, keeping practices running smoothly and at an even pace, yet still making it fun. Sponsor Lori Fefferman dedicated a lot of time to the squad and expected the same dedication from the girls. That was the reason the girls did so well at camp. They earned first-place ribbons in every category in the AA Competition. When asked how she felt about the squad, Ms. Fefferman replied, "Some people make the world more special just by being in it." The Porn-Pon Squad squeezes together to gei in the picture. Cheryl Torres, Yun Kim, Rachel Garcia, and Becky Santos demonstrate how tough you have to be when you are a football player.

Armonis, H. Park, L. Kornha user, L. Ba lbirer Student Union's main purpose was to plan social activities for the students. The majority of the activities revolved around Homecoming. These included such successful events as the in-school pep assembly, the spirit panel contest, Ki'ng and Queen coronation at the !st annual outdoor pep assembly, Homecoming parade led by a horse drawn carriage carrying the King and Queen, the ha lf-time presentation at the game, and the successful Homecoming dance. The club also organi zed the sending of the holiday card to the U.S. Marines in Lebanon, and the Mini-500 skating contest. Adding to the Indian spirit through activities was a major goal. Homecoming provided a time to implement new ideas such as a "Spirit Week" where students dressed in 50's outfits, M*A*S*H clothes, outfits that clashed, class colors, and finally the school colors on the day of the game. Much was accomplished under the leadership o f Mrs. Forman-sponsor, Mr. Winterhalter-advisor, and special help from Miss Mooridian. Officers were: Erica Stone-president, Julie Keller-vice-president, Molly Edelstein-secretary, Suzanne Weisman-treasurer, and Yun Kim-publicity. Senior President Erica Stone commented, "We had a much larger group this year and we all worked together to put out a great Homecoming and other activities throughout the year."

"It's really something to get up there and argue the points." This growing interest in the club showed up in its winning streak. The sponsor, Sandy Berkowitz, a former Niles West student and debater, attends Northwestern. Sophomore Jerry Kang was vicepresident, sophomore Allen Dalinka was secretary and treasurer, and sophomore Steve Blonder was in charge of fund-raising. This season's question was, "Resolved: That the United States should establish uniformed rules governing the procedure of all criminal courts in the Nation." ln order to have such interesting topics the sponsor was sent three topics along with three sub-topics from the National Topic Committee. These same topics were sent to other sponsors across the country. They in turn voted on which one they thought would be the best to debate. During the course of the season, which ran from October to April , they had tournaments that took place almost every Friday and Saturday. There were several tournaments going on at the same time since the Niles West team was divided into three groups: Novice, Jr. Varsity and Varsity. Each team had several two-group teams. Novice is considered first-year debaters. As students progress they move higher in the ranks. Many debaters go on to such prestigious colleges as M .l.T., Northwestern, Princeton, and Yale.

For a group of twenty it was a lot to accomplish, but the group got together twice a month to achieve these goals they had set for the year. One of the club's successful fund raisers was the selling of stationery cards for the holiday season. The officers included President Karen Silverblatt, Secretary Amira Minkoff, and Treasurer Jeff Becha. The sponsor, Mr. Alex Miron, helped guide the new members through the year.

This saying is heard just about anywhere where you can find two Greeks meeting. No, one isn't in Greek Town or on a small Greek island in the Mediterranean Sea, but at Niles West. The Hellenic Club sponsored by Mrs. Panos and Mr. Thomas of Niles North has been in progress for three years now. It's at its highest peak with an increasing amount of members. The Hellenic Club meets every third Wednesday night of every month and takes place in room 138. Even though evening meetings mean giving up time on the phone, studying or watching T. V ., members always make a little spare time to show up for the meetings. Club member Effie Boudouvos stated, "It really doesn't matter when the meetings are held, or what time they are at because I am willing to give up some time for it. It's once a month and we have a good time." Don't let the title of the club discourage you from joining. Even though it is called the Hellenic Club it doesn't mean that it is only open to Greek students. Like every other club, everyone is welcome. The club has held many activities within the school. Careful planning of dinners at Greek restuarants and parties are some of the activities. Bake sales and Bike-a-Thons were fund raising events for the club. This years officers were: John Koudounis, President, Mark Poulakidas Vice-President, Pam Sideris Secretary, and Nick Valavantis Treasurer. TOP ROW LEFT TO RIGHT: A . Karafodias, G . Lereno, G .

Mrs. Lopez, the sponsor of the club, has been involved with the students at Niles West for three years now. An interest in the Spanish cultures and language is all that is needed to join. During the year, many activities took place including fund raisers , bake sales, and fiestas. The members also went to a day care center for Spanish children and brought them gifts and food. They spent the day talking to the children in Spanish, which offered a great opportunity for the members to use the language. Other activities included going to Mexican and Spanish restaurants to sample the many dishes of the different Spanish cultures. Officers of the club were President Gary Korol , Vice-President Alberta Lee, and Secretary Jackie Sirajullah. The Spanish Club promotes interest in another language and develops friendships among the members. FRONT-Susanne Da vi s, T a nya Lee, Dia ne Smaso n, Joa nna Pe los.

Although this is the first year they've had a sponsor, Ms. Lori Fefferman, the Wrestlettes have been around a long time. They help organize the wrestling matches by keeping score, timing, and occasionally assisting the referees. "It's a good way to get to know other people and to work with them," said Chris Miller. "I dislike it when we get put down all the time because people think we're in it just for the guy's." Aida Santillan also went on to state, "The Football and Basketball teams have their cheerleaders, and Porn Pon girls for support, now the Wrestlers have Wrestlettes.

No this new exciting idea is called the Spirit Squad, which is not the same as guy cheerleaders. Mrs. Chasow sponsor of the varsity cheerleaders and now the spirit squad was behind this innovation, which is a first in Niles West. What is the spirit squad? lt is a group of guys whose main purposes are to help the cheerleaders promote spirit and also help with difficult mounts. There were two groups of spirit mem- ' bers, one during football season and another during basketball season. Both squads were considered very successful by many people. The football members were composed of seniors Scott Mannzara, Tony Konsewicz, and Roy Kowalski. "This was something totally new for me, but it was great fun," stated Scott Manzara. The basketball squad was composed of seniors Jeff "toy man" Joss, Phil Davis and Greg Sherman. The cheerleaders had a great time and many hope such a squad will return next year.

The word Spectrum to most people may just be another word for rainbow, but for the students at Niles West it means much more. This is the name of the book which bonds many memories, special moments, and exciting events. These moments are brought back simply by flipping through the pages. Each page is filled with pictures and coverage of events that took place throughout the year. One may ask how this extraordinary book is put together. The answer is simple, through cooperation, patience, hardwork, full commitment, and dedication. The staff consists of people who work diligently everyday. They receive half a credit a semester which has a gradeweight of 1.15. The book is created in room 103 with the help of Jerry Orr and Sharon Krone. This years theme is "1984", which comes from George Orwell's book "1984". The staff added originality and creativity to make the theme fit in as much as possible.

The seven part series covered a variety of issues that enrich the regular classroom offerings. Juniors and senior students that demonstrate scholastic excellence were invited to participate in the program. The program . was limited to thirty-five top . students. Seniors received first preference though. At the completion of the seminars, students received a medallion and certificate of completion accompanied by a letter to be attached to their transcript indicating participation in the Seminars for Scholars Program. �E.C.C.

This organization, presently in its second year of functioning, serves as a meeting place for the presidents and vice-presidents of Student Senate, Student Union, and the four Student Cabinets. Twice a month all the officers gather together to plan school activities and inform the other groups of individual club proceedings. Also present at the meetings are the club advisors: Alexa Forman, Gerald Boevers, Geri Nash, Sharon Krone, Linda Horwitz, and Roger Stein. In addition, John Winterhalter a nd Dr. Nicholas Mannas act as general overseers for the meetings. Junior Cabinet Vice-President Julie Keller explains, "ECC is a very important functioning group because it allows the officers to meet and discuss ideas for the benefit of the school."

The Art Council continued its attempt to increase students' knowledge and interest in art. Many Wednesdays after school, this group of students joined together to discuss, examine, or produce pieces of art. By choosing entertaining and unique activities, the members of this club were able to expand and develop their artistic talents. They began the year by creating a Homecoming spirit panel. Putting their originality and skill to work, they won first prize for the second year in a row. After this accomplishment, the members took on the challenge of designing and producing various types of jewelry out of gold and silver. Other tentative ideas included repainting the pool of the Lincolnwood Hyatt House and the completion of the artwork in film-study room 114. Mr. Davis, a Niles West art teacher, continued as sponsor of this organization. Instead of appointing officers to preside over meetings, the Art Council allowed all members to decide which new projects to work on, thus providing an informal and enjoyable environment for all. Displaying their award winning spirit panel are Todd Payuk , Mr. Davis, and Jeff Rubin. Art Council spent many hours on the panel that showed a great deal of talent and originality.

Field trips to the Goldman Nursing Home and to Lutheran General Hospital are just some places they have visited. Tours and explanations of how the facilities work are given. The club planned the Great American Smoke Out in mid-November, which involved both the students and teachers. The club also had two guest speakers from the Northwestern Medical Program. The Medical Careers Club meets once a month on Tuesday afternoons. Membership is 35 people from all grade levels. Mrs. Korol is the one who advises and guides the club.

Literary Magazine Changes Name West of Edens, previously called Opus I, serves the purpose of publishing the best works of art, literature, and photography submitted by students during the course of the year. There were approximately fifteen members in the club, five of which were editors, including Editor in chief, Leon Lenchik, a literary editor, two art/photography editors, and a business editor. Everyone met four or five times monthly with sponsor Ms. Derichs to discuss and edit the submitted material. Together they produced one original magazine. One staff member commented, "I think we'll be publishing a really good issue this year."

This designation for a select group signifies not only the fact that they participate in leading physical education classes, but also that the students are themselves " leaders." Leaders is a specialized gym class for sophomores, juniors and seniors that takes the place of regular P.E. In addition, during their free periods and study halls they assist the gym teachers by explaining various techniques and skills to younger classes. Members of this organization were required to fill out a n application listing recommendations a nd previous encounters of responsibility. There are three leaders classes, divided by grade. On occasional Fridays, the classes join together to participate in innovative activities such as ice cream-eating contests. Sophomore Leader Judy DeAcetis rema rked, " l really enjoy Leaders.

Ecologists Become Prairie Pioneers The members of the Ecology Club investigated the relationships of organisms to their environment. They spent much time in reconstructing the prairie (located behind the school). The Club gathered various seeds (a lot of blue stem grass) and grew the plants in the greenhouse. Later in the spring, the group transferred the plants to the prairie. They regulated the field with a "prairie burn". This is done to keep it healthy. This technique is used once every year to two years. This "burning" is needed to kill te European plants because more of the Native American plants are wanted (more adaptive to fire) . The club met accordingly to the seasons and the work available. They met more frequently in the fall and spring. They visited many different places such as the Indiana Dunes, Gooselake Prairie, Chiwaukee Prairie, Wheeling-Buffalo Grove Prairie, Chicago Botanic Garden and many other ecology related places. The Ecology Club is a small but worthwhile group. It is important for students to know their area. If anyone is interested in nature they should inquire information from Mr. Firak, the club's dedicated sponsor for the 15th year.

The club, consisting of about 30 members, tutors throughout the school day, plus after school. Most are upperclassmen but there are some sophomores who join, also. In order to be a tutor you must be getting A's or B's. Organizational meetings are held a few times a semester. The club has no appointed officers, only a board consisting of five members. They are seniors Randee Jemc and Antonietta Bellissimo, juniors Wendy Cone and Ronna Olney, and sophomore Kim Liou. The sponsor for the Tutors Club is Miss Klinger. Remember!

Have you ever given a thought to the people who hand you a program and a ticket stub as you prepare to see a performance in the auditorium? Maybe not. However, without them, you would be confused about where to get a program and find your seat. Members of the Ushers Club, which is sponsored by Miss Klinger, usher for all of the school's plays, musicals, concerts, and Orchesis performances. The group meets about one week before the show to work out a schedule of who ushers at which time. The club is open to both boys andgirls, freshmen through seniors. Students can come to any of the meetings, even in the middle of the year, if they want to start ushering. The officers are secretary, Joyce Dassow; vice-president, Martina Hoeller; and president, Sandy Goldstein. There was a good turnout this year with over thirty members, old and new. President Sandy Goldstein said, "It's fun to be in the Ushers Club because you meet new people, you're providing a school service, the meetings after school don't take up a lot of your time, and best of all, you get to see all the shows free." So, the next time you hear about a meeting in the announcements, join the club - you will probably have a lot of fun! 131 �SADD Chapter Formed At West Students against drunk driving, or simply SADD, is comprised of approximately 15 Niles West students. The overall purpose of the club is to prevent teens from . drinking and then driving. It is their hope to bring a halt to the many accidents involving a drunk driver. The co-chairpeople were John Koudounis and Jaqueline Plonus. Together they joined efforts to plan an assembly for the entire school. It was held on Wednesday, February 15th. They invited Richard Anastis, founder of SADD, to speak at the assembly. There was only one requirement needed to join SADD. One must care about the safety and welfare of his/her fellow students.

Are you interested in computers? Do you want to share and exchange ideas about them? If so, the Computer Club is for you. The purpose of the Computer Club is to give students time and a place after school to work on programs. The Computer Club attended many local competitions that were held at various schools. When competing against other schools, students are placed on two-man teams depending upon their skills, and given a problem to solve. Whichever team figures out the program first is the winner. When not competing, the members make up their own video game programs. This year's sponsor was Mr. Weitzenfeld. Top-left to right: Mark Shaeffer, Hon Kim , Taco Gomez, John Garfeild, Mr. Weitzenfeld.

Along with thirteen other teams, the Chess Team competed in twelve matches this year. This differed from last year's conference league, since there were previously two separate divisions, North and South. Although the team consisted of fifteen members, only eight actually competed in each match. Science teacher Warren Holz has been the team's coach for the past fifteen years. The dedicated Chess Team members spent their free periods and after school time improving their skills. Coach Holz stated, "The members enjoy playing chess and also enjoy the fellowship of the other team members." I FRONT ROW LEFT TO RIGHT: Brad Grodsky. Frank Delphin, Danny Lee, Sergio .Mauricio.

A group of sixteen interested students got together to accomplish this. Did you guess who? It's the Photography Club. The photographers met every other Tuesday in room 314. They decided this year that there would be no officers and that all members would have equal status. The club members' main goal was to put up pictures on the walls around the school, since it would be a great thrill to show their work where everyone could see it. Interested students should stop in and talk to the sponsor, Mr. Beeftink, because the Photography Club can strengthen a student's ability to take eye-catching photos. There are no requirements to join, other than an active interest in taking pictures. Adding the final touches, junior Jean Burns draws a poster for the photo contest. Sophomore Scott lshen and Ange la Kong join efforts to put together a new, interesting idea. 135 �Band Marches To The Beat Of A Different Drummer The marching band is the most visible portion of the school's musical wing to the community. In addition to playing at Niles West football games, it participated in eight public performances including the Christmas Parade, the Labor Day Parade, and Homecoming Parade. The marching band also traveled to Orlando, Florida to play at Disney World. Since approximately 140 students belonged to the marching band, sponsor Bill Koch was helped by an outside staff. Practices occurred during the band period at school and at night. Therefore, members who participate in the musical section must be in band class, although the Color Guard performers need not.

These groups displayed their fine voices and long-term commitment in various concerts throughout the school year. In December, they sang in the Fall Concert, while Februa ry brought on the Pops Dinner Concert and Mini-Open House. They ended their year with the Spring Concert in May. Singing together is what the Girls Ensemble did best during their concerts. During the Mini-Open House, they introduced themselves to incoming freshmen.

It is very difficult to go through a day of school without problems. Seniors, after four years of high school, have experienced many "bad days." An "off day" can start out just from a tough English test or a fight with a flame. If more than one problem occurs, what may start out as just a bad day can turn into a disaster. On one of these days, many students sum it up by saying, "It just wasn't my day!" My cereal was soggy, The eggs were cold, The juice was sour, And the bread was old. I was late for homeroom, Rushing down the hall, The heel on my shoe broke And I took a fall. The rain fell hard On me and my clothes, It ruined my hair And gave me a runny nose. I failed a test On the history of France, I got caught on a nail And ripped my pants. I went home early, I couldn't take any more, I was cold and wet And my pants were torn. I went to bed early And began to pray, "Please make tomorrow a much better day!" Teen Magazine 1983 Bad days are normal, and happen to everyone. Just remember the good days outnumber the bad ones!

Greasy spiked hair! No, this is not a southside Chicago gang. This happens to be the very " in ," very old, very "new wave" style to dress. A lthough new wave can be considered "new" in the eyes of the young, it has, in actuality, been around since the SO's, the original punk era of the century. This new kinky style is back and rearing to go. It is fairly easy to find anything from leather mini's, belts, and jewelry accented with metal spikes, to iron chains and safety pins fastened in ears or cheeks. Many people feel that this fad is due to radical beliefs, while others may see it as a personal expression of themselves. The phrase "Hurt me! Hurt me!" is crawling its way across the nation, dragging along black vicious jackets and greasy (Tenex) spiked haircuts. This new look provides a sense of "a nything goes," and, believe it or not, Ripley, everything is going and is on! How do people feel about this fascinating trend? Here are a few comments ... "It's original. It promotes creativity in the individual. I think that it shouldn't be sterotyped." - Tracy Feldman, '84 "I think that the new styles are neat, but some people just carry them too far." Kevin C hern, '86 "It's an interesting new look for the 80's. Since everything is so interchangeable, it's easy to decide what I like for my own taste." - Amy Cozza, '87 "I think people.do it to attract attention. What's the big deal? They're trendsetters! - Jeff Joss, '84 Mr. Ba.t.ts, however, feels that, "ft isn't what you wear, it's the manner in which you are trying to perceive your own image."

We've been waiting three years for this. However, taking easy classes, having little homework, and being the oldest is not as glamorous as it seems. Senior year can be muddled with difficult college decisions. Next September many of us will be "stepping up" in the educational world and going away to college. For those of us who are, preparing for it can be almost as difficult as actually being there. Preparation begins at the end of junior year with the ACT and SAT tests. These scores almost solely determine what college you attend. During the summer months, you are flooded with " ... come see our school .... " In early October you start to send in your applications along with your transcripts and test scores to the colleges of your choice. Then you wait and wait and wait. Around March or April you receive an envelope - an envelope from the college of your choice. Sometimes it is a rejection slip; you 're disappointed for a while but you live through it. Sometimes it is an acceptance notice; you are happy, excited, and hopeful of what next year will bring. But at the same time, you are a little afraid and hesitant of "stepping up" into the college world.

In order to get that license, you have to take a driver's education course. Niles West offers a n excellent driver's education program. With three teachers to give the best possible education, you can't miss. The class is one semester long and consists of classroom, range, and behind-the-wheel driving. The classroom is held every other day and includes movies, tests, and lectures. The range is equipped with ten new Chevys which are driven around the range . Each time different obstacles are set up on the range. All skills from backing up to skid control a re taught. Behind-the-wheel is probably the most useful of the three aspects of driver's education. You get road experience, even on the expressways. One student said, " I can't think of a better way to learn how to drive. " Michele Friedman '84 The homework seems never ending to some students.

Suzi wakes up to these a nd similar sounds every morning. As the alarm-clock radio goes off, S uzi groans and rolls over while trying to cover her head with her pillow to block out the noise. The radio is persistant though, and Suzi decides to get out of bed only to find that someone has superglued her to her bed. There is no possible way to get up. Finally, after several feeble attempts, she slowly rolls out of bed and lands in a lump on the floor . "This is no way to spend the day ." she says to herself a nd crawls to the shower. Thank goodness for Coast soap or Suzi would have never gotten out of the shower. After almost brushing her teeth with Clearasil, she makes her way back to her bedroom only hitting two walls on the way. She stumbles into her closet and picks out her clothes for the day. After getting dressed, she turns on the bedroom lights and notices that the plaid shirt she is wearing does not match the flowered skirt (thank goodness for bedroom lights). Finally, after Suzi had redressed herself and brushed her hair and gotten the eyeliner off of her lips and gotten her books together, she was ready for school.

Waiting for the school bus in the morning is truthfully a dilemma for an upperclassman. On many occasions, I have been late and have had to come running breathlessly on the bus. I arrive half asleep, eyes shut, no socks, no jacket, and one shoe in my hand. As I walk through the aisle to get an available seat, I get ridiculed by FRESHMEN. As I slop myself down into a seat, I have to tolerate all of the stares and snickers of all the neat, organized and smiling faces. Just one more thing to help make my day start out pleasantly. The worst, though, has to be the inconsideration these brats display in front of the school. By now my body is shivering and my feet are frost-bitten from the cold. As I attempt to get in line in order to get off the bus, these freshmen refuse to Jet me in, because I'm "budging." In the near future, when they experience what I go through every morning, I hope they realize that their actions were mean, inconsiderate, cruel, and downright childish!

For incoming freshmen, there are many drastic changes from junior high to Niles West High School. First, there are the bigger lockers. Many freshmen can't reach the top shelf. Shorter students are often seen standing in their lockers, or walking backwards from it, attempting to find the right book. Another major difference is the number of students. In most of the junior highs, there are only about 400 students. However, in Niles West, there are around 2,200 students. This alone can be terrifying without the added nuisance of being picked on. Most freshmen find it humiliating to walk down the hall and be called "freshie" or " frosh." This is shocking since they have just come from being the "BIG EIGHTH GRADERS", and the head of the school, to being the "puny freshmen." Nevertheless, there is one enjoyable aspect of moving up into high school for freshmen. This, is the freedom of choosing their own classes. There are many languages and various electives to choose from. All in all high school at West turns out to be fun for most freshmen . Remember, one should pity the poor freshmen , rather than pick on them. Leah Seef '87 : Studying is done in the libra ry by ma ny s tudents, for it is a comfort· a ble, qui et atmos phere-.'

Wonder fills everyone's mind to see if it is a real fire. Fire! Real Or False Alarm? Fire drills are necessary even though they are disruptive to classes. Students and faculty should know how to exit the building quickly, yet safely, in case of an actual fire. Since fire drills are practiced, the students know where to go and what to do, so that in a real fire they will be less likely to panic. Classes are disrupted by fire drills. A student may be taking a test or listening to an engrossing lecture when the fire bell rings. This can be very upsetting to a teacher. -But when all things are considered, it is more important tQ know something that could save your life than it is to· know about metamorphosis.

They range from excellent sports programs to fine clubs. Most of the students at West are in favor of the activities. As Anna Karalis said, "They let you do things you enjoy with your friends after school." Donald Gelfond favors them also but for different reasons, "Extracurricular activities are conducive to learning. I feel they should be actively pursued by all students willing to enhance their education." The reason Marty Pomerantz likes them was quite different from most responses. He said, "They keep you away from the refrigerator." However, a few problems do arise from the activities. The most common of these problems is that they interfere with the student's schoolwork. As Chelli Krakow put it, "I really enjoy participating in the activities, but a lot of times they interfere with my homework." Elli Straton had a more severe case, "When I'm involved in an extracurricular activity, I don't do my homework at all!"

The official strike notice was given September 4, the day before school was to begin. School did not begin for another 15 days. The school board initiated a contigency plan September 18, under which students were scheduled into a five period day consisting of combined levels of general curriculum. Many students found the contigency plan unsatisfactory, which resulted in a student walkout September 24. The students' objective was to force a settlement between the board and the teachers' union . An open board meeting was held the night of the 24, where many students and parents spoke out, urging a return to negotiations. A settlement was reached September 25; regular school began on Wednesday, September 26. < LOCAL 1 4fl/CJQ 1 21 �HOMECOMING ASSEMBLY This year's Homecoming was organized by the Student Activities Board.

On the evening of Tuesday, September 25, approximately two hundred colleges and universities from all over the country presented informative and helpful material to interested students and parents. "I got a better idea of what different colleges and universities offered and which of these alternatives were right for me," said one senior.

This year's show was an original parody of suburban high school life. Accordjng to student director Steve Koek, the production used music, dance, and comic dialogue to make its point. Each year, the Pow Wow show is conceived and executed entirely by students from the school.

The defensive line was the pride of the Indian football squad. The unit was recognized as perhaps the strongest in the tough Central Suburban League North division. The defense limited its opponents to seven points a game for the first seven games. Season highlights included 260 and 22-0 shutouts of Maine South and New Trier West. The most exciting game of the season was surprisingly a loss to state ranked Deerfield. This team of fighting Indians was one of the best teams West has had in the last few years. Team leaders included Ben Froemming, Al Moltz, Ron Asher, Jim Sliwa, Ron Braver, and Chris Lapak. 52 roske, S. Okimara, J. Elliot, C. Lapak, B. Weil, J . Terzis, G. Haramaris, B. Bordenet, A. Glick.

The 1979 Varsity Soccer Team had a fine season taking third place in the toughest conference in the state. The team compiled a 3-2-1 conference record. This year's team consisted of a number of seniors, juniors and sophomores, who after practicing together a few weeks, became a strong team both offensively and defensively. The solid defense was led by senior, co-captain and all-conference center fullback John Revis. All-conference players Steve Siegel, Ben Piro and Dave Adkisson led the powerful offence. Skilled senior players included co-captains Bill Majewski and Mark Schwartz and goalie Dan Namnick and Heeyong Yang. Next year coaches Zorn, Schnurr and Brennen look forward to a fantastic team consisting of several returning lettermen. Also looking forward to next year are Scott Margolin and Tony Tatooles. Both had to watch the action from the sidelines because each suffered from a broken leg. Hopes of achieving a conference championship or better are in the minds of these talented players and coaches. 56 Above: B. Piro tries out his karate on opponent. Above Right: J.

This year our team . experienced the spectrum of life through athletics. We gathered together before school opened to learn that half of our team qualified for the Varsity which meant that there would not be a sophomore B team and those who expected to play on the B level would not be starting on the A team. This meant a year of unexpected experience and we knew that it would be a tough year in which to win. We tied Loyola and St. Viators and defeated Waukegan. When BAM! Schurz, New Trier East and Glenbrook took us to the cleaners, but we rebounded and defeated Holy Trinity. Along came New Trier West and Evanston who defeated us. Then came Maine South who was ranked #1 in the league. We held them scoreless, our morale rose and our next opponent, Niles East, fell beneath our advance 3-0. Glenbrook, who defeated us early in the season, was stunned as we forced them against the wall, allowing only two goals to be scored. All the players left their mark equally on the playing fields of Niles West. For you see we started as individuals and left as a team .

The Freshman A and B Soccer Teams included many boys who had never played soccer before. All of these players improved their game tremendously. By the end of the season they began to jell as a team and not strive for individual accomplishments. The A team's record was 2-8-1. Coach Porter felt that these boys were much better than that record indicates. The co-captains of the A team were Van Stamos and Steve Stratton. Some outstanding offensive players were Mike Oberlander, Mike Wilson, and Steve Ubrig. Some outstanding defensive players were Steve Majewski, Jae Chang, Alex Engels, and Joel Fink.

The season record of 3-6 did not reflect the talent and ability possessed by this great team. It was a growing season, giving the players a chance to progress. They were strong players, who made it through a difficult and rough season, due to the switch in conferences.

Coach Murphy attributed the team's success to an innovative and unrestricting motion offense and a tenacious full court press. Aided by aggressive quickness and unyielding determination, the Indian ball club often rallied from near defeat to victory. Although the West squad lacked height, they always displayed maturity, maintaining their poise in apparently hopeless situations. Led by three year veteran Morgan Cuff, and play-making guard Scott Strongin , the Indian's fast break was highly effective. While Steve Rivkin, Joey Morgan, and Dave Martin supplied the team with their rebound strength underneath the boards, Don Pieper was consistently accurate from the field.

Mlddle Row (I to r) The 1980 Indian baseball team ended a temendous year. Coach Billy Schnurr's team was strong in every department; hitting, pitching, defense, base running and saviorfaire. Each player was supremely confident in himself and equally confident in his teammates. The team was a smart, alert unit that readily capitalized on opponents' mistakes or weaknesses, but rarely gave the other team similar opportunities. They were as a team of destiny, born to win because they would not permit themselves to be beaten. Captain Ben Froemming was clearly the outstanding performer among an unusually large galaxy of stars. He led the team in virtually every offensive category, including runs scored , runs batted in, extra base hits, home runs, total bases and slugging percentage. Defensively he anchored the team with his stellar play at the vital catching position where his great throwing arm and steady handling of pitchers were instrumental in stopping each opponent. This talented athlete could have been a standout at any position on the field. Ben was certainly one of the finest high school baseball players in the etate of Illinois. Joey Morgan , Bob Peterson and Gary Schnurr were the mainstays of a superb pitching starr. One of the three started every important game (frequently going the distance) and each was used in relief in key situations. This 92 Mike Froemming, Eric Kiesal, Leo Moritz, Brett Wilson, Gary Schnurr, Steve Sanders. Bottom trio had a combined earned run average of a spar.kling 1.53. Steve Morgan, Ben Froemming, Phil Wax and Leo Moritz also pitched well in limited appearances. Jim Elliot led the team in hitting with a robust .455 average. Steve Weiss, Froemming, Wax and Moritz were all between .340 and .450. Eric Kiesal and Mark Schwartz combined with Weiss Moritz and the Froemming brothers t~ provide speed and excitement on the base paths. Elliot, J. Morgan, Wax and others, though not as quick, also ran the bases well. The defense, though shaky on occasion, early became one of the strengths of the team as the season progressed. Kiesal, Weiss and Moritz, with occasional help from Mike Froemming or Steve Sanders, gave the Indians a swift, strong armed, generally sure-handed outfield that was a tremendous comfort to the pitching staff. Schwartz, Elliot and Wax with M. Froemming and Don Kalas aiding J. Morgan and Peterson playing first base worked very hard to improve their infield play. Their progress was astounding. Each of them was playing with unusual aplomb by midseason. Brett Wilson and Dan Namnick, a pair of catcher-outfielders, and first baseman Howard Stoleberg were among others who made important contributions to the great season .

Both completed their final season with the winning style they maintained throughout their Niles West tennis careers. Rounding out the team was singles player Rob Chapman, who gained a valuable year of varsity experience in preparation for next seasons absence of Laser and Lirtzman . Doubles players Steve Rivkin (senior), Scott Weinstein (senior), George Karavattuveetil (senior), Larry Kong (junior), and Curt Warchol (senior) played excellently throughout the entire season, consistently winning in the clutch situations. Varsity Coach, Dan Hill, was extremely pleased with the team's performance this season and is optimistic about future Niles West tennis success. Scott Weinstein is so good he can play with one hand. 98 �Steve Lirtzman --- Looking good! Steve Deer experiments by using his hand for a r acket.

In its first year of competition, the Niles West Girls Cross Country Team received as many honors and accollades as any other West squad . Led by sophomores Laura Friedlander and Jenny Weiss, the squad placed first in the Niles West Invitational, first in the Highland Park Invite and fourth in the Indian Invite, a meet with upwards of thirty teams. Receiving all-conference honors, Friedlander placed 75 out of 225 in the state meet. Coach Sloan hopes that with the return of Friedlander and Weiss coupled with the efforts of Robin Telengater and t he rest of the squad the 1980 team can be even stronger than the squad West fielded this year. 101 �JUST FOR VARSITY FOOTBALL Niles Niles Niles Niles Niles Niles Niles Niles Niles West West West West West West West West West 0 20 0 22 26 6 40 34 14 Glenbrook North Waukegan West New Trier East New Trier West Maine South Deerfield Niles East Evanston Niles North VAR.SITY SOCCER 7 14 16 0 0 7 6 6 6 Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West West West West West West West West West 0 0 0 0 0 7 21 0 Glenbrook North Waukegan West New Trier East New Trier West Maine South Deerfield Niles East Evanston 26 6 20 14 24 43 8 18 Waukegan West St. Viator Loyola Glenbrook North Schurz New Trier East Holy Trinity New Trier West Evanston Main South Niles East Deerfield Niles North 0 2 1 4 4 2 1 2 3 1 0 5 1 Niles Niles Niles Niles Niles Niles Niles Niles Niles Niles West West West West West West West West West West 0 5 1 5 1 2 2 0 1 4 1 0 0 0 5 1 1 2 0 3 Glenbrook North St. Viator Notre Dame Hersey New Trier East Notre Dame New Trier West Evanston Hersey Lake Forest SOPHOMORE SOCCER FRESHMAN ''A,, FOOTBALL Niles Niles Niles Niles Niles Niles Niles Niles West West West West West West West West 0 8 6 20 6 0 14 6 Glenbrook North Waukegan West New Trier East New Trier West Maine South Deerfield Niles East Evanston 8 12 0 0 22 23 0 14 Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West 102 0 0 26 12 6 8 8 Forfeit Glenbrook North New Trier East New Trier West Maine South Deerfield Niles East Evanston Maine We st Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West 0 0 0 2 1 3 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 1 New Trier East Loyola Schurz Waukegan West St. Viator Holy Trinity New Trier We st Evanston Maine South Niles East Deerfield Glenbrook North New Trier East Highland Park 5 0 3 1 1 0 4 5 0 0 1 22 36 0 14 30 0 0 West West West West West West West West West West West West West 171 180 176 163 166 176 173 170 177 182 159 180 165 Niles North Notre Dame Niles North Niles East New Trier West Rolling Meadows Deerfield New Trier East Palatine Waukegan West Evanston Main East Maine South 169 155 163 160 160 153 150 151 153 174 136 152 158 Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West 1 0 0 0 0 2 3 0 0 1 0 2 0 St. Vi ator Hersey Notre Dame New Trier East Maine South Hersey Niles East Glenbrook North New Trier West Deerfield Glenbrook North Niles North New Trier East FROSH SOPH GOLF Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Niles West Notre Dame New Trier West Deerfield Waukegan West Niles East Rolling Meadows New Trier East ' Palatine Evanston Maine East Maine South Niles North 179 175 168 245 228 190 178 177 144 161 176 227 SOCCER 0 2 Niles Niles Niles Niles Niles Niles Niles Niles 3 1 0 7 10 0 1 10 13 3 10 3 4 201 198 202 242 176 198 188 187 155 182 197 191 FRESHMAN , ,B,, 10 FRESHMAN ''A,' SOCCER FRESHMAN ', B,, FOOTBALL Niles Niles Niles Niles Niles Niles Niles Niles Niles Niles Niles Niles Niles J.V.

The Ecology Club was essentially a field biology club concerned with noting the plant and animal life in different ecosystems. The club has investigated prairie areas, woodland settings, and dunelands. Field trips were an important aspect of the club. Forums, headed by Mr. Lorenz, brought various speakers to the Niles West Auditorium. This past year Forums talked to individual homerooms to get ideas for speakers from the students. Not hindered by the small staff, Forums sponsored speakers on a wide range of topics to complete another successful year. • F 0 R u M s George Travios, David Slotnick, Charles Bernstein. 111 �N A T I 0 N A L H 0 N 0 R s 0 c I E T y 112 First Row: Byron Lam, Scott Heyman, Mike Jutovsky, Beth Fink, Steve Rivkin, Margaret Rafferty, Jodi Treitler, Bryna Fox, Allyson Pollack, Second Row: Sebastian Valiaveedu, Mark Chao, Julius Mak, Mike Chorpash , Gary Kaufman , Julie Tatooles, Dan Bernstein, Barb Perlman, Gayle Sidler, Nora Steindler, Shoba Ranganath , Robin Bachman, Randi Warshawski.

The p1Jrpose of the Niles Chapter is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship , to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership and to encourage the developme nt of character in all students of the high school. Candidates eligible for election to the society must be a junior or senior and have a 3.2 grade point average. A candidate must receive ten recommend ations from faculty members including the homeroom teacher and counselor. They also must be involved in at least two different school sponsored activities. During the early years of the Chapter, the Society functioned as an Honorary Society and the members did not initiate activities as a group. Last year, students began to organize some service activities. On Saturday April 7, 1979 the Chapter held a party at Clifton House (home for retarded adults) in Park Ridge. This year the Chapter organized a Senior Citizen's Day, initiated an Induction Ceremony and prepared a Scholastic Wall of Fame.

The interesting and exciting challenge is to create the annual program of learning opportunities in conjunction with teachers, staff and fellow administrators. The many facets of Niles West require the attention of the administration toward the most important tasks of attaining excellence - maintaining strong student and faculty support - and presenting a positive charisma of public relations for the benefit and progress of the school. Beyond the many and varied tasks as principal, this year Dr. Mannos served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Illinois High School Association, a member of the Executive Board of the Illinois Principals Association and the state coordinator for the National Association of Secondary School Principals.

ADMINISTRATORS 229 �The administrative team met once a week to discuss issues that arise every day. A team goal was to provide a common philosophy among departments for handling Niles West's daily problems. The weekly team meeting also afforded the administration the opportunity to share ideas and information and make group decisions. One of the team 's major goals this year was to smooth the way for East students and faculty who will be at West next fall. This year the team also instituted freshman study halls, a new attendance system designed to increase student accountability, and a policy requiring all students to take final exams with the exception of graduating seniors.

Students of all languages took common final examinations for the second year. English as a second language was offered for the first time as a two-year sequenced course and students from many different language backgrounds were enrolled. Field trips, foreign food, and foreign exchange students helped students to learn the cultural background of the different languages. 234 �I From upper left, clockwise: Katherine Beck, Joseph Brennan , George Brink, Olga Georgiev, Julie Grossberg, Isaac Hoffman, Terese Klinger, Madeleine Loughran , Alex Miron , Gertrude O'Reilly, Roger Stein , and Peter Zorn.

I 245 �Social Studies teachers are expected to do the impossible . They are required to .be more or less an expert in a multiplicity and variety of social science disciplines. At the same time, they must be practitioners of the whole range of teaching strategies from the traditional to the latest trends. In addition to these expected accomplishments, there is societies' insistence that the social studies teachers have the major re- 246 sponsibility for educating young men and women in the facts of citizenship and democratic ideals. In other words, social studies courses are asked to produce people who are politically informed and active. All this seems to be an impossible task for most people-but the social studies teachers who go their daily rounds are expected to live up to these ex- pectations and do an admirable job for Niles West students. Honors courses in United States History and Western Civilization were reinstated this past year with several students taking advantage of this enriching curriculum. Psychology continued to be the most popular of the social science electives with over 600 students selecting this course. • �SOCIAL STUDIES From upper left clockwise: John Gault, John Handzel , Dan Hili , Arthur Leipold , Bruce Munson , Michaela Rowland , Merilyn Schiffman, Carol Simone, Marjorie Stevens, Harry Stokes, Celestine Van Dorpe. 2'47 �INDUSTRIAL ARTS The Industrial Arts Department continued to promote student interest in skilled labor.

Some eager Freshman were anxious to start school. Others were nervous about the overwhelming situation. The class of '89 began their last year of high school. Many Seniors looked forward to this beginning of the end. On Monday of the first week of school, there were stereotyped examples of abusive Seniors, complaining Juniors, bored Sophomores, and confused Freshman. By Friday, the confusion was reduced, but complaints and boredom were still noticeable. Anxious students made it clear that they were looking forward to a weekend of R and R. Gregg Rosenberg.

Stude nts worked quietly in the library studying for exams or getting the homework out of the way. Others dashed from class to class because the five minute passing period was to brief.

Bathr ooms were a popul ar place during freetime or passing periods. Girls used a brush and hairspray, or touched up their makeup. Guys, on the other hand, took a shorter time in the bathroom. The college resource room was always a crowd ed place. Seeing the counselors was scheduled during freetime. Needing a throat lozenge or stopp ing in for a visit was a reason to see the nurse.

Books and homework and .off to the cafeteria to meet friends. While huddled around a table, plans were discussed for the weekend. Partying, sleeping, shopping, getting together, relaxing, and watching TV were suggested. At another table, some guys suggested something different. A game of football , going to a danceclub, working, sleeping, listening to music, and watching TV were on fhe list. The sugges- lions were similar but the guys wouldn't consider shopping, and the girls refused to play football. After some talking, we developed a plan. At home, school clothes changed into party clothes and hair was teased up. The car horn honked and climbing into the already crowded car, we headed for our destination.

Summer is full of the beach, vacationing, and friends. At the end of August there is a challenge to face, a different style of life. Fixed schedules, hours of practice and condit ioning, and making decisions becoming part of our school life style.

They have different styles, different hangouts, and appreciate d ifferent ways to have fun. These students weren' t recognized before, but more of them are moving into their own social groups. This year at North, these groups include U- Men, new Wavers, Bad-Boys, Headbangers, and Niles North Jocks. Today, new students from different parts of the world are immigrating to the U.S. and becoming Americanized. However, they still try to keep thei r ethnic identity. Niles North has a great variety of students. An esti mated 30 % of Niles North students have Asian background, 20 % are European, 10 % are Spanish or Afro-American, and 40 % are natural cit izens. Even tho ugh there are many differences, students together participate in activities and sports. They socialize with each other, and help one another. These groups and the special students make Niles North a great sc hool.

They marked the begiinning and the end of an experience. In-between these events, students faced changes that shaped their lives. "Since my freshman year I got a lot louder," announced senior Steve Omachi. Senior year was characteristically a ti me to lay back and relax for practically everyone. The underclassmen enjoyed several advantages. " Getting your license gives you more freedom," pointed out junior Hun-Sook Kim. Sophomores looked forward to being • anything but a freshman. " People treat you with more respect when you're not a freshman," boosted Tanya Shenderov ich. For freshman, Niles North was a new experience that in troduced new situations. They had a lot more books, were assigned a locker partner and their next class always seemed to be miles away. " The teachers are a lot harder and give more homework unlike junior high," complained Paulette Sallas. Graduation symbolized freedom and independence to many Niles North students. Jeanne Janowski Having freshman football team members stand on the tables one by one is a favorite ritual among students. John Gelb finds himself speechless while everybody cheers him on Gym class was a required class no matter what year students were. Whether it was liked or not , they had to push themselves to learn the advantages of physical education . This class has mixed feelings between like and dislike. Graduation was the final step in this period of time. As students walk up to the front , they remember back to the earlier years when graduation seemed so ·tar away. Here. students cheer on their friends as they receive their diplomas. 22 . ,____ studen t life ------------------~A----------------------------~---------.. �The food in Niles North was and will always be undescribable. Students of all ages will remember their first bite of the delicious "Viking Special". While students around them chat and eat. Raanan Goldberger, Gary Frank, and Alvin Danguilan record their reactions. Driving to school was an advantage that upperclassmen often gloated about. The cars they drove were anything as long as it had four wheels and a motor. Martin Bany decides to be unusual and go for a spin in the hearse. At first. freshman found themselves confused with their way around the school. As the year went by, though, they could find their way through the halls with ease. Jamie Topper smiles to prove she's finally tackled Niles North. Students had different ways of expressing themselves through the fine art of locker decorating.

In the movie, a comedian entertained a senior class with his memorable moments from high school. Having shared a funny experience, the seniors in the movie and the freshman audience laughed. Speaking about graduation, the comedian remembered how his friends had each gone separate ways after high school. Seniors Were shown with tears in their eyes as they spent last moments together. We were unaffected. As freshman, we were unable to recall similar memories. Four years later, we now understand how those seniors felt. Richard Espinelli ·---- ,.

A: I feel Niles North students are responsible enough to handle themselves in an open hall situation. Students appreciate the fact that they have such a privilege, and many have proven to be responsible. During resource periods, seniors took time to study for tests, write tefl'Tl papeJs, or fill out college applications. Stnl, steepjng was an activity many students en1oyed.

Anxiety filled the air and the bodybuilders as they awaited their turn to demonstrate their strength. Senior John Kim also experienced this stress. As a sophomore, his goal was not to crack under pressure. In his junior year, John's reward was placing second in a Canadian International Tournament. That achievement was complemented by state and national titles. John felt rewarded when he performed to the best of his ability. The rigorous hours of hard training gave John self-discipline. A strict training schedule of 27 hours a week on the Sayer Park Weightlifting Team did not give him much time to " fool around." According to John, "Working out is fun , and a way of getting my agressions out." Being in the Olympics was one of John's main goals. His senior yea r John began his hobby out of curiosity. He gave credit to Niles North coach Conway and his team's and personal coach Roger Neilson for helping him. John acknowledged the importance of his friends. "When the going gets tough, my coaches and friends are always there to encourage me to train."

A: The most important thing going on in the world today is the reduction of nuclear weapons by the United States and the U.S.S.R. Even though both countries still have enough nuclear weapons to destroy the world 100 fold, it's a good beginning. Hopefully, in the years to come, more weapon treaties will be ade to reduce or wipe out all nuclear weapons around the world. n, our children and grandchildren will know what total world is without the threat of world destruction.

"Everytime I perform, I have to psych myself up. by telling myself that I'm going to perform better than I've ever performed before." responded Ryan Cohan. Two members who related to music as a hobby were Randy Goldberg and Doug Mytnik. Randy believed " More stress should be put on the line arts at school. " Electric Purple's goals were to sound good and to be the best high school band there could possibly be. Besides performing at an Amnesty International concert, they also played at other public events. Doug . admitted " The reason I'm in the band is because I like to entertain people.

Fr Fr Jr Fr ~ -- SOPHOMORE WAKES UP NILES NORTH Jeffery Karbin Fr Alex Karchevsky Fr Margarita Karras Jr Tracy Karschnick So Good morning, Niles North. Here are todays announcements." This familiar saying was spoken by sophomore Ben Halperin. He had to have courage to speak to the entire student body over the P.A. system. When Ben started speaking, he was nervous, but as the days passed, he became more comfortable with it. The daily announcements were meaningful and serious. They told the students what, when, and where they could find activities going on. Ben felt that he had to give character to his voice in order to make the announcements interesting. Ye tried to make them fun as well as informative. Christina Kashani So Shachar Katz Fr Lisa Kay Fr Adrine Kazarian Fr Jeff Kerman So Hassan Khamsei Jr Feroze Khan Fr Masud Khan Jr " I joined the speech team because I had and interest in public speaking." Being on the team allowed Ben to be an announcer. He shared the work throughout the year with other Forensic members. "I always watched 'WKRP in Cincinatti' Les Nessman influenced me to be an announcer." boasted Ben.

One of the reasons the freshmen A team didn't do as well as they wished was because of the lack of communication on the court. That did not mean that there was a lack of experience. Jenny Cook played volleyball for three years before coming to North. Jenny was known for her powerful spikes and accurate serves. One of the benefits of being on a freshmen fall team is becoming familiar with the school before other freshmen. "I walked around after the summer practices and it helped me know where everything was." recalled Jenny. Meeting new people and learning to wisely organize her time were also benefitted to Jenny. "Volleyball takes up a lot of time that you normally used to study, but I like the sport very much, so it was worth it." concluded Jenny.

Sandra Wilson (Social Studies). and one new director. James Blum (English and Foreign Language). 1988 was the year when ten new faces were added to the teaching staff at Niles North. The hiring of these eager men and women for teaching positions at Niles North was a result of several veteran faculty members retiring. A large group of teachers being hired at one period of time was a rare chance since Niles East closed. Among the new faculty members include Julie Kalnin (English}, Kevin Kelley (Business Education), Bradley Krumpolz (Science), Roberta Price (Spanish), Gina Ross (Science), Daniel Rusk (Math), Ann Stuart I The new teachers also worked as coaches and sponsers of Niles North organizations.

A new emphasis on listening was instigated. "You can take the best notes in the world, but if you don't pay attention during class, you could get home, look at your notes, and say 'What the heck does this mean?'" They were new! They were improved! They were the courses at Niles North!! The change that affected the most students was not an academic course, but in Gym! A new Coeducational Pilot program was instated during mods 11-1 3 and 20-22. "We observed other schools that had this prog ram," commented coach Pat Grant. " We saw they were successful in improving students physical fitness." The prog ram grouped students by overall physical fitness and emphasis was put on improving physical cond ition. "We were satisfied wit h the initial results. Students showed improvement between fitness tests. But, we need more facilities to accurately test fitness." A new Fine Arts department was established and Mrs. Rita Stewart was named director. The theatre courses were moved from the English department to the new Fine Arts section. The new department opened up the oppurtunity for visual art, music, and theatre teachers to discuss the courses that were taught and how they cou ld cooperate as arts instructors. Dr. David Schusteff, director of the Math and Science department, said that there were no new courses started in the '89 school year, but, like most other departments, there was a continuous review of the cirriculum in most of the courses.

Electives were as diversified as Economics to Sculpture and Child Development to AP Computer Science. By taking different kinds of classes, the students would encounter different kinds of tests, not to mention the aptitude tests for posthigh school education. Art classes involved reading from textbooks, doing homework, and completing projects. Taking a test in an art class would imcorporate all of these. A teacher may have prepared short-answer exams related to the textbook. He would also ask the students to apply their skills on a one-class period project. In the Math Department, students learned skills and formulas relating to the subject matter. Students believed that they would never use advanced math in real life; however, Director of Math and Science, Dr. David Schusteff believed there were real-life applications for advanced mathematics. He also thought that tests should have covered these, for instance using the Pythagorean Theorem to proove that a room is actually a box with right angles.

For instance, after volleyball, the gym teacher would test the students on their serve, bump, set, and spike. During the Junior and Senior years, students would take the ACT and SAT tests. They were aptitud e tests given nationally and used by colleges and universities for admissions Emphasis of these tests varied from college to college, usually less emphasis from the smaller, more selective schools.

They were not exciting football games, nor were they thrilling track meets, but they were challenging and fun to participate in. Many students took part in academic competitions because it gave them the chance to compare their knowledge with students from other schools. In order for the teams t o prepare throughout the year, most competitions occurred in the spring of '88. Every year there has been a Conference Spelling Bee in which Niles North competed. Four years in a row, Vikings brought home a trophy. Student of the Month awards were given to approximately ten students and several teachers each six week period. They were recognized by individual accomplishments. Academic achievement was not a requirement for the award. Students from any grade level could become a Student of the Month. The bands were engaged in competitions. In the Al l American Music Contest in Florida, the Concert Band placed third, the Jazz Band placed first out of seven bands, and the Symphonic Band placed first out of fifteen bands. The Niles North Math Team was competitive. They placed sixth in state finals last spring. Chemistry teacher.

"I've been organizing programs for thirteen years and I love what I do." This year at Niles North something new was created. Programs took place that were extensions of classroom education. Creative ideas were gathered to produce programs that contributed to classroom education. Lillian Mann, Special Program Coordinator, organized events for International Week, Youth Art Month, Holocaust Day, Martin Luther King Day, and programs dealing with drugs, stress, divorce, and human relations. Videos were shown, and speakers were brought in to address these special topics. "I aim for programs that will bring a sense of well being and some insight into issues that are important for our students to know," commented Mrs. Mann. In order to organize these programs, Mrs. Mann made calls, wrote letters, found information about the performances, and publicized the programs. "I use the daily bulletin, newspapers, and the pulic address system so both faculty and students are aware of what's available." These Peter LaForge organized Seminars for Scholars. The seminars covered a wide variety of topics. The purpose for the Seminars for Scholars was to confront capable students with discussion topics. Biomedical Ethics and the American Penal System were highlighted. The group met six times during the year. To be a part of the seminars, students were juniors or seniors with at least a B average. The goals for both the Special Programs and the Seminar series were to expand student's learning outside the classroom. Debbie Fingerman '• Twice a month the "N" club met to discuss their future events. The "N " club was also visited by famous Niles Nort h graduates who were in professional sports. Seniors Steve Kenzer and Oleg Schubow were enthusiastic about the speaker. Lettermen sweaters came back to life after 5 years. Members of the "N" club gathered to discuss types and sizes of sweaters they would be ordering. Paying close attention was something Lee Sternstein was good at. 96 acadernics--------------------~~~A �Mr. Peter Laforge was responsible for the Seminars for Scholars. A special program arranged by Mrs. Mann used volunteers from the Response Center. They discussed the topics of teen suicide and stress with students at North. Students attending SADD meetings showed their concern for drunk driving accidents and issues. Guest speakers discussed the dangers of driving drunk. Students listen intently to the presented information. Mrs. Lillian Mann, Special Program Coordinator, organized programs. The presentations generally took place in 0100 and added information to classroom education. Oral presentations were required by English teachers.

In January of 1989 North opened its doors to a Brazilian girl named Debora Souza. Debora came to the United States through the student exchange program Youth tor Understanding Association. The association assigned Debora to live with a young couple with whom she would be comfortable with. Debora came from Belo Horizonte (Beautiful Horizon), Brazil where she lived with her parents and older sister. In the tall of 1988, when she was 17 years old, she left home to attend the Federal University. There she began a program which led to a degree in psychology. The Federal University was considered the best university in' Brazil and required vigorous testing in order to be accepted. " It was difficult because I graduated a year early. The other students had an advantage over me." she commented. Life in the U.S. was quite different tor Debora than life in Brazil. "In Brazil we live in an apartment or condos, here there are more houses with backyards, this is what I envy." she commented. In addition to her family, Debora missed the yearly Carnival which started on Ash Wednesday. " Rio is famous tor its yearly Samba school contests. I look forward to it every year." " During these six months I got to learn a different culture- a different way of life. It was an excellent \earning experience," she replied excitedly, "but when I \eave the states I'll miss the different kinds of candy and food. They are delicious but I' m so scared of gaining weight!" Vicky Angelos Dressing up on Halloween was a must.

The cheerleaders of Niles North were the people who tried to bring spirit to our schoo l. "Our school needs to get more involved." commented Dana Lyall, senior co-captain of the varsity squad. W With Perfection A camp which the squad attended each summer helped them learn moves, cheers, and taught them everything they needed to know. The girls live, eat, and sleep cheerleading. Sleep is minimal but they get a lot of cheering experience. Improving their form . getting along with everyone on the squad, and being competitive were some benefits of the camp. It was hard to cheer on a rainy day, but the game must go on! Stacey Skolnik smiles and has fun in spite of the rain. New people, different cheer formations, and fresh enthusiasm prepared the squad for the school year. Dana added, "One of the best things about being a cheerleader is being able to act stupid and get away with it. The serious th ings that we need to think about, involve choosing cheers and when to do them. The cheerleaders needed to have a good time cheering without worrying about winning or loosing. There is always another game to play." As a co-captain of the varsity squad, Dana set goals for her fourth year. " Enthusiastic cheering and having an outrageous ti me at camp made the year fun," remarked Dana.

The teams E.R.A. was a remarkable 2.8 for the season. and the staff was led by senior Scott Zuckerman and junior Sonny Gallman. According to Jim Sakas the head coach "One of the keys to our pitching success was the outstanding control of our pitchers. The team was motivated going into the 88 season due to a great summer season. Sakas went on to say. "Early in the season we had a slump, but I think it had something to do with the cold weather. We have problems hitting in the cold, but as soon as the weather heats up so do our bats." The team had some other problems as well. in the middle to late season the junior and seniors boys split into two separate teams When asked what three words would describe the varsity team of 88 senior Matt Smith answered " Experienced. strong. fun." After losing to Glenbrook the team did a complete turnaround by winning both games of a double header from Evanston due to a great pitching performance by Scott Zuckerman and Sonny Gallman who won and 11 inning one hit shutout. Even though the team didn't meet up to expectations they had a good year.

"Five guys on the court working together to play the best basketball they can," emphasized Pete Christie, coach for the Boys Varsity team. Each of the teams had their own practice schedules. The boys varsity team practiced Monday through Saturday having special practice nighs Wednesday from 5:45 to 8:00.

They started off their season hoping to improve on last years 2-7 record. Most of the critics said the Vikes' defense was going to be the backbone of the team while the offense would struggle. The critics were right. The defense held most of their opponents to under 17 points. The defensive strong point was led by co-M .V. P. Ruel Mallari. According to senior lineman Aaron Hodges and safety Waldemar Mattner this year's team had more heart and wanted to win more than most. The offense was young and inexperienced. Sophomore Brian Brown had to start at QB because of a season ending injury to senior Bill Luckman. The offensive line was very small and not as quick as some of the other schools in the NSC. The brightest spot in the offense was co-M.V. P. and all conference tailback Dwight Smith. Dwight was a very explosive runner who made it through holes that were unsighted by others.

Led by All-American player Shari Rozmus and All-State player Marlo Kantor, the Vikings were led to the sectional finals and ended with a 23-5 record. Shari's brother Tom Rozmus made All-Conference, and led the Boys' Varsity Soccer Team with eight goals and three assists for the season, even though the Boys Varsity Soccer Tearn was young and inexperience. Three wins for the season did not give the kind of record they had hoped to achieve. "Five seniors will be missed next year. The team was made up mainly of juniors, but with the experience they gained this year, they should be a success," commented Tom Rozmus. Shari Rozmus and her brother Tom were both captains for their varsity soccer teams. They both scored the most goals for their team, and Shari broke the school record her junior year at Niles North with forty-nine goals. Shari scored a total of one hundred and sixty-nine goals for the four years she attended Niles North. The Varsity Teams for Niles North still hope to be Illinois State Champions. "In soccer, we must play hard and try our best to reach goals," added Boys Varsity Player Alex Brikman. William Coulson, the Boys' and Girls' Varsity Soccer Coach, has been a soccer coach in #219 since 1973. Coach Coulson has dedicated his time to making the Niles North Soccer Team the best.

The team practiced everyday from March until June. Their strength was hitting. Six players had an overall batting average of .300. Coach Balciulis remarked, " The eight experienced players were competant. However, both mental and physical errors were made due to the inexperience of the rest of the team." Illness and injuries inhibited the team's consistency. At the end of their season, and after much practice, the team overcame its weakness as a playing unit, and the players became enthusiastic. Although their record failed to identify them as a winning team, their spirit gave an opposite message. In comparison, the Girls Junior Varsity Team, led by Coach Busch , learned that "winning isn't everything." Sometimes, enjoying what you are doing is more important.

Each dancer choreographed a dance and the club members voted on which ones to use for the show. Dancers met every Wednesday from 3:30 to 5:30. The week before was intense. Practice lasted everyday until 10 o'clock. Auroris was a big family. Everyone was friendly. There was no discrimination against grades. Being in Auroris was helpful with meeting people and making new friends during high school. The hard work and late nights, that were necessary didn't interfere extensively with work. Coordinator, Suzi Gantz, encouraged Auroris members to be involved in other activities. She was very lenient with those people who had jobs. "We were all there to dance, learn, and have fun," Donna concluded.

Students matu'ed and set new goats They g'ew and learned from their losses. A time for peace- I swear it's not too late . . . Students tea,ned about themsetves, and discove,ed satisfaction and fulfillment in themselves and in their friends. The song TURN, TURN, TURN was written by Pere Seeger and recorded by The Byrds.

" There was an exls· tence of this power In each and every one of us. Harnessing this power by the students and faculty was reflected In the 1987-88 school year. But wait! Before we get to the core of this power, let's not forget about the catalyslsts that surrounded the Niles North Student: for ex· family, and friends with fidelity. Faculty not only motivated students, but taught for a purpose and led with foresight [to prepare/ provide for the future]. Another vital catalyslst was a family which was formative [helping or Involving formation or development] to the student throughout the school year. And last but not least, were the friends of the student. We were not just talking about acquaintances, but good friends with fidelity [faithful devotion to duty; loyalty]. This force of energy channeled through hours of effort, sweat, and sometimes even tears. Did the saying "No · Pain, No Oaln" mean anything? CU· che' or no cllche', this saying meant exactly what It said to the stu· dents during the 1987· 88 school year. Tar· gets were high for stu· dents and so were the Niles North over·all achievements.

" Songs were fun , but serious things were also taking place. One of the most important events that hap· pened was Freshman Orientation, held on August 26 and 27. The Freshman entered the school , many for the first time, and left knowing their way around the entire building. As always, the " Freshies" went to the B-100 room for a scholastic test and a hearing test in the library. They also picked up their books and school l.D.'s. For the first time, Freshman yearbook pictures were taken during Orientation .

We had to wait in line a the bookstore, even longer than i took to return them. I'm glad they changed ." The cafeteria served many pur poses for students aside from eat ing, such as chit·chatting, relax ing, and doing homework. Nobod would be scolded for talking t loud, while in the library, conversation was practically prohibited. " Taking the school bus was a unique experience," explained Freshman John Passman. " On occasions there was a substitute bus driver who was different from the rest. He had WCKG blasting on the radio and was dressed like a teenager. But our usual driver was real quiet and avoided talking to us." From Orientation to getting books, from eating lunch to riding the bus, another year at Niles North started with positive attitudes and new ideas.

Cheerleader Sandy Lee. said , "By wearing our uni· form , we promote the school spirit as well as advertise the football games." Viking Spirit was promot· ed by the Vikettes and the North· ern Lights. Students did not have to join the football team or the cheerleading squad to show their school spirit. They made a contribution to the school spirit by going to the foot· ball and basketball games and cheering for the Vikings. Home· coming parades and pep rallies were the school's special events to display Viking Spirit.

" Al· though this is 1988, we're revert· ing back to the fads of the fifties, the sixties, and even the seven· ties," commented Senior Laura Luckman. Penny loafers, mini skirts, and long hair were created in the past three decades, yet we molded the ideas to fit our modern image. Viking and modern fashion promoted a special style for the stu· dents at Niles North. PURPLE and WHITE, the dominant emblem of the school spirit was drapped on Viking bodies and the students swaggered proudly with spirit.

After his ten minute shower he picks out his clothes. Jim opens up his drawer and says, " What's clean?" . Then he grabs his Bears jersey and Levis and puts them on. Afterwards he runs down to the kitchen to have a bagel. While eating his breakfast he opens the newspaper and reads the comic " That's cool!" says Jim .

They gave a calculator to the person who guessed the closing of the stock market for that week . The raffle helped others become aware of their club. There were over forty clubs that met throughout the year. They ranged from Acadamic Achievement Bowl to the Timers Club. Most clubs met after school while others met as a class.

Teachers solved and helped the students ' problems and troubles in the time of their need. Computers brought a different type of aid to the students . • 96 - Academics �In order for the Niles North academic sys· tern to work effectively and cohesively, a ring of six important factors were strung together to form an end product of great minds as well as great people. Each factor contrl· buted to support the others In their own special way. The school administrators, the first factor, dis· cussed and solved the overhead of the educa· tional and financial de- clsions concerning the student body, teach· ers, and school itself. The second factor, the teachers, combined their love in teaching and their knowledge to build up the students' motivation to learn. Students, the third fac· tor, were molded to their potential by all other factors. They had to be responsible and dedicated In order to truly learn the ac· cepted material. The next factor, the class Department and School Board Teachers Students Classroom Facilities Field Trips/ Special Programs Candids 98 100 102 104 106 108 110 activities, were de· signed to expand and enlighten the students' potential. Class actlvi· ties created a bursting appetite for the quest of knowledge. Faclli· ties, the fifth factor, capitlvated the stu· dents· interest in com· puters and musical in· truments as well as wide exposure to the physical facilities as the fitness room and swimming pool. Last· ly, the final factor, the field trips and special programs were devel· oped to broaden the students' horizon in understanding the con· troversial issues in drugs and aids as well as taking the outside look in what they want to pursue. These fac· tors worked efficient· ly, only if they were put together as a sys· tern. Niles North aca· demic system had proven to excel poten· tially. waiting to ex· plode In the world. Jenny Ro I \ Division Page - 97 • �" Niles North is dedicated to a pro· gram of comprehensive education preparing students for life's work and leisure." This was the motto seen on the walls of the school throughout the year. Both the school board and the administra· tion worked together to help make Niles North operate. The board members who were elected , de· spite the numerous number of write in votes were newcomer John Lartz, Florence Sutker who served as a board for three and half years and incumbents Saul Weiner and Jonathan Minkus. Early in the school year the school board asked Superintendent Ken· neth Olsen to resign giving no spe· cific reason . John Hinck became the new superintendent. The Niles North administration as Mr.Giles stated " Is a link and a chain , each person having a re· sponsibility to help make the school operate." All Niles North directors shared common respon· sibilities. Directors had to make sure each teacher ha< a certain number of classes. Thty also had two years to evaluate each teach· er in their department on their Attending athlet ic events was one respon· sibility of directors. Mr. Houlihan and Prof. Einstei n cheer on the Vik ings at the foot· ball game. • 98 - Academ ics classroom and overall perfor· mance. Each director also super· vised extracurricular activities within the school. They shared the responsibility of attending both home and away athletic events, concerts, dances, and other activi· ties. Once a week a team meeting was held in which the directors shared information and tried to solve problems in each depart· ment. " The greatest problem ," Dr.Schusteff said, "was not every student comes out of the same course with the same knowledge because of different ways of teaching." The administration 's goal was to prepare students for college and to help them survive in society. Debbie De Salvo Graduation was exciting for both students and administration. Jonathan Mlnkus.

School Board / Administration - 99 • �Classroom teachers are a part of the common everyday life of an Niles North student. " Teachers" include substitute teachers as well as faculty staff. What is it that a makes the Niles North teacher different from any other teacher in Illinois? How do teacher teach their class and what techniques do they use? Commenting on his teaching tech· niques Eugene Kuntz said that " I try get the students involved with hands on training to what I may be teaching in class." Kuntz used a variety of classroom speakers who lectured to his students. He added that he gets his student interest in class by using humor and a positive attitude and treats students as respectable peo· pie. Marla Hoffman, a substitute teacher, commented that " Students respond better if you have a good attitude. To get group partisipation It's good to go into a classroom expecting the best. She also added " If I request a student to calm down and they don 't , I send them to their dean. There are days when I'm more tolerant to students behavior than others. By using these stratages they can achieve good foundations for enrich· ing our student body. Karl Nygard Barbara Smith helps students with there weekly chapters .

Teachers - 101 • �A wide variety of academic power from the students was unleashed during the 87·88' school year. All classes displayed some sort of this ability whether it was the hard working Freshmen or the Seniors with " seniorites". Academics for students were study habits, home· work, and classes. Of course, ev· eryone's study habits differed and some students didn 't just go to North for classes. How did some students deal with homework and study? Senior Nan· cy Malabanan remarked , " If I do my homework in school, I have more free time at home. " The ma· jority of her homework was done in study halls or during her free time. Sometimes she used the Ii· brary. " When I go to the library, I read magazines. I really have no set schedule as far as homework is concerned ." Some student9 did their work at home. The way they did it was " more advanced ". Ju· nior Kevin Kohn liked to use his computer to write papers and ma· jar projects. " It makes the report more presentable." To him the computer was a great way to type papers but, ' 'I'm not a freak in computPrs." Students didn 't attended classes just at Niles North. Students that needed classes at· Niles West had regular schedules at North. These teens went to West in the morning and returned in the afternoon. Sen· ior Steve Lin attended A.P.P. Physics at Niles West . " I attend A .P.P. Physics at West because there are no teachers at North to teach A.P.P. Physics." Steve spent half of his morning traveling back and forth from West to North and the other half in class. " It's a pain! Traveling takes up lots of • I 02 - Academics my time." Which school did Steve like better? " Niles West, because their administrators and teachers are better. It's an enjoyable exper· ience! " Another program students used was Oakton Community Col· lege. The students that went to 0.C.C. were considered the " elite " because there were very few of them . " Most of the kids, about half of one percent, were Sen· iors. " replied Principal Thomas Giles. Students attended O .C.C.for three reasons; Excellerated stu· dents exceeded the curriculum at Niles. North; they needecfa prereq· uisite course to enter an honors or advanced course at North; or Sen· iors missed a credit needed to gra· duate. Students that went to O.C.C. went at night or sometimes during their daily schedules. Giles added, " They're full time students at North. My preference is that they take courses in the building . . . , but Oakton d~s offer a via· ble alternative." Allen Kuo Some students decided not to stick around the whole time at Niles North during the 87-88 ' year. Seniors George Wang and Robert Ortega slowly stroll from the bus that brought them from Niles West to more classes at North. �Let's see some "real" student power The individual booths in some study halls provided a private place to spread out and do homework.

Cuddling up on the floor, Nancy Hundrleser decides to spend her free time alone and "produc· tive" ? Students - 103 • �STIMULUS Classroom activities were used to ca· ptivate the students ' interest. Teach· ers were the important presenters of new material and ideas. They used interesting approaches to enrich the class as a whole. In math classes, computers enabled the students to understand the mate· rial better and strengthened their weaknesses . Mr.George Pryjma pro· vided " graphmaster" for his math students. " It was easier to under· stand the graphs when Mr. Pryjma programmed them on the comput· er." stated Helen Rachnovich . Films and videos helped to visualize written materials and explain scientific for· mulas. In English literature classes , after the students had studied the book , the teacher presented the the· atrical version in order to reinforce the students' prospective and differ· ent ideas. Science students thought video lectures were helpful for under· standing the theories and formulas. Labs and experiments also proved to bring out the students ' attention. The tradition of approaching the class with learning material was still the best method. Homework was one of the the key to the door of knowl· edge for the students. Examinations and quizzes were the frustrating or· deals in every class. Students were encouraged by extra credit which were created to bring out their enthu· siasm . Participation was also a major function of class activities. Teachers tried to motivate class discussions and debates especially in the litera· ture and history classes. Teachers also used other methods to test the students' study habits by asking questions. " By drilling questions, the students are forced to understand the material. It is an excellent way to get their attention." commented Mr. Frank Cardulla. In order for the class to cooperate and respect the teach· ers ' presentation, teachers had to show their love in what they taught. • 104 - Academics If they enjoyed their subjects, it was easier to unleash their extensive knowledge to the students . With these unique classroom tech· niques and the school's facilities the students were capable of broadening their limits in achieving the knowl· edge. Teachers greatly influenced the students ' anticipation for learn· ing. Classroom activities prepared the students for higher education as well as attracting their excitement. Jenny Ro Art classes brought out the students' creativity and Imagination.

Classroom - 105 • �Dirersity Many times, studying alone was not appropriate for reinforcing what a student needed to learn . It was at these times that the facilities of Niles North (excluding bathrooms) came in handy. Throughout the years, North has tried to provide places for stu· dents to enhance their skills and tal· ents. Resource Centers and The Individualized Instructional Center (1.1.C.) enabled students to practice with their skills as well as increase their knowledge. This was accomplished with the help of teachers and other assistants. In recent years, North has tried to expand past the traditional " Math, Science, Social Studies, and Foreign Language" departments. For students who were thinking about pursuing a career in Architecture, North offered a wide variety of equip· ment such as drawing boards, a blue print machine, and computers such as the Mac-Cad and the Auto·Cad (Coputer Aided Drafting System) for students. Additions such as practice rooms and the weight cage also gave stu· dents the oppotunities to do things which they normally would not be able to do at home. According to sen· ior Jeff Chalem, "The weight cage is a very convenient place to work out. It's really good for lazy people like me because it is right in school. If we didn't have the weight cage, I'd prob· ably just go straight home after school to watch t.v. and eat ... Also, the weight cage saves me money. I don 't have to go out and buy a mem· bership at some health club because the facilities here are just as good as the ones in the health club." Senior Howard Holowaty found it very convenient to have practice rooms in school because of his busy time schedule. "Since I usually have to work or do homework after school, I don 't really have time to • 106 - Academics jam on the piano. The only free time I have is in school . . . Going to the practice rooms is a nice break in the school day. It's like being in another world . . . But I wish we had bigger practice rooms, better pianos, and some amps." North has even tried to expand its computer facilities by having four computer labs; for math, business, and two open for student use. Each lab was equiped with 32 computers. For some students, the computer room was a place to practice their computer skills, for others, it was a place for recreation. "I use the com· puter room all the time ... to work on my home programs, or just to play games, " commented senior Mike Cohen. Through the diverse facilities, it was evident that Niles North cared about their students. North provided them with the best possible facilities to en· rich their talents and skills. Joann Bautista Gymnasts used the gymnastics gym to prac· tice their skills and build their endurance. Ju· nior Brian Kwon tests his stamina on the still rings. �North provides for the needs of the students Practice rooms enabled students to practice during their free time .

Special Fac ilities - 107 • �Vikings On the Go To add variety and zest to the average day of a student at Niles North, field trips and special programs were scheduled in several times during the year. Field trips allowed students to see things that were relevant to what they were studying, but to do it in an out of classroom atmosphere. One class which had an " out of school experience " was Physiology . Early this spring, Mr. Kuntz and his two Physiology classes went to the Gross Anatomy Lab at Oakton Community College. The purpose of the trip was to see real body structures and make clear to the students what they had only seen in their text. " We go to the lab to give students a proper appreciation of the complexity of the human body and the harmony of its many parts in relation to each other," commented Mr. Kuntz. When they arrived there, professors presented and explained the parts of the body and allowed the students to do minor examinations by themselves. Early this year, advisor Dennis Grabowski and the yearbook staff attended a convention in Whitewater , Wisconsin , to learn more yearbook production. The class left early in the morning for a day of sessions on the latest in yearbook graphics, design, theme ideas, and development. Going to the conference gave insight to the students on ideas for the Saga 88'. Senior Barrie Gol~berg replied, " Returning this year gave me another chance to learn more about yearbook production and it enhanced my previous knowledge." Special programs were scheduled this year to inform students of im· • 108 - Academics portant , interesting issues. One such program was presented to the freshmen class and was called Discovery. It was directed by for· mer Bear Leslie Frazier. The program began with a speech by Mike Singletary, who spoke about peer pressure, drugs, alco· hol , and related it to his life exper· iences. Editor of the school newspaper, Steve Klawans comment· ed , " The program was more effec· tive than usual anti-drug programs because of the caliber of the speaker, Mike Singletary. " After the three-part program, " Myth Busters" presented humorous skits about the common peer pres· sures of drinking and driving. An informative program that was open to anyone interested was a presentation about chewing tobac· co. James Girdley, a dental hy· giene advisor for the Illinois De· partment of Public Health, came to school in the fall. Throughout the day, he gave seven presentations about the harmful effects of chewing tobacco. Student Elisa Goldman replied, " I think it was a good program because it has be· come a habit among teenagers and they don 't realize how danger· ous it really is." Ms. Lillian Mann was responsible for arranging programs that took place at Niles North. Her expertise gave classroom instruction depth and vitality throughout the year. Paula Brazen Members of the freshman class enjoyed the skits performed by '"Myth Busters'". They seem to be extremely caught up in the performance. �Expanding Their Classroom Knowledge The trip to Whitewater w11s very education· 111 for the yearbook staff.

Many hours of rehearul went Into the plays. The same goes for the Aur· orls dancers. It takes a lot of physical effort and team· work to put out their dances. Homecoming and Prom showed us that we have a lot of friendship and teamwork by the amount of people that showed up, by the way the floats were decorated, the way the teams played, and the amount of couples that appeared at Prom. Also, a lot of effort and planning went into making all of the arrangements. Graduation was the final ceremony of four years of work, friendship , and com· mltment. We dreamed of our graduation since our first day as a freshman. Those four years will prepare us for a harder life after high school. Throughout the school year new friendships formed. relationships grew stronger, and the teamwork was there. Although friendship between the students and faculty wasn't very appar· ent, it was there. These friendships helped to make the special events and the entire school year more en· joyable. llllk:hael Rynes 150 152 154 156 158 160 Division Page - 133 • �FLAS HDAN CE Helen Rakhnovich, Julie Perlman, and Lori Shechter warm up before practicing the ir routine.

"The Dracula Spec· tacula " was a spooky musical that was performed a week before Halloween. The show was about a naive teacher named Miss Naive (lrit Levit) who took three stu· dents to Transylvania on a field trip. There they met none other than Dracula (Doug Mytnik) who, taking an earring from Miss Naive, gains control over her mind. Miss Naive and her students are taken to his castle, where Dracula is planning to make Miss Naive his new wife because of her inno· cence. Dracula's plan was foiled by the hero Nick Necrophiliac (Andrew Levin), who just happened to be in love with Miss Na· ive. Nick ruined Dracula 's plan by sprinkling Glublick (a liquor harm· less to the living but acid·like to the dead) on Dracula's followers. Two of Nick's helpers drive a wooden stake into Dracula's heart. Nadia is so thankful and in love with Nick that she marries him. Instead of a happy honey· moon, Dracula retuns from the dead, possesses Nadia 's mind, and she then sucks the blood out of Nick. The choreography, scenery, cos· tumes, and props made the pro· duction more outstanding. The choreography was created by Gretchen Glader. Wild steps and pelvic thrusts entertained the au· dience when Nick Necrophiliac sang the song "Positive Action Man " . Dracula imitated Michael Jackson when he sang the song "Rhesus Negative Rock and Roll" . Dracula even looked like Michael with a flashy jacket and sequin glove provided by the costumes department. The costumes and wigs made the chorus numbers hi· larious. One of the best costumes was worn by Dracula's mother (Man Wah Lee). The costume was part Gypsy and part vintage closet attire. The tech crew used smoke tubes to create an eerie aura on the set. The castle tower was in· genius. It revolved to reveal Dra· cula 's lab.

Fall Production - 145 • �''NOISES OFF'' Takes It Off Reading the theater bulletin in Oc· tober, only nine cast members were chosen for the play "Noises Off". Since there were only nine cast members, they became very close which also made the play easier to work with. "Noises" ran the weekend of November 10-12. Despite the reviews that "Noises" received , few students saw the play because of a basketball bash and a lack of interest. "The play was very complex because it had plots within plots," stated Kim Berg, "inspite of everything, it was a good experience." "I thought the play was very funny," remarked Doug Mytnik, "this par· ticular play was a British comedy and it was sometimes hard to un· derstand." British comedies usual· ly deal more with subtle humor unlike American one liners which hit you immediately. Throughout the play Kevift Golc:¥mith, Doug Mytnik, and Brian Pomper lost their trousers from an uncoopera· tive cactus, some toxic glue, and just forgetting to pull them back up after a visit to the bathroom. Junior, Joel Sachs, stated "Try· ing out for the play, to the rehears· als, and finally to the opening show requires a lot of work, but it all pays off." Sandy Zupancic • 146 - Special Events The cast was shocked and embarrassed as as a fellow actor lost his pants. Brian Pomper, Erin Jacobs, Doug Mytnik, and Scott Topper play their roles accordingly. Surprise showed through all over her face. Tanya Malinsky is astonished when they find the missing character. Who likes sardines anyway? Scott Topper complains about them being on his plate. �Concentration plays a key role in acting. Kim Berg stops and reviews the scene.

Brian Pomper listens in· tently as Jerry Proffit gives him some pointers. The technition, Joel Sachs, looked startled as the director, Kevin Goldsmith, handed him money to buy flowers for him.

One thing I liked about my costume was the cape, but I guess I was just meant to wear a cape . . . " - Doug Mytnik On April 3 and 4, it all happened "Once Upon A Matress" was the musical chosen for Niles North's spring play. A take-off on " The Princsess and the Pea," the attendance at the play was "surprising and overwhelming," according to Lauren Kurtz, who played one of the Ladies·in Waiting. The play contained three different plots, involving the prince Steven Singer.and the princess Jacki Greenberg. In keeping with the tradition of "The Princess and the Pea," the princess was the last of many to pass the unfair test given by the queen Jennifer Berman. This test involved not only a pea,but also a birdcage, spears, and suitcases. "Almost everyone got along really well with everyone else, which helped the over· all production of the play," commented Doug Mytnik in reference to the entire cast. "I had a fantastic time working with Edward Mussman and Scott Hirschman. " The three of us would try to make each other laugh, even on stage." The sub-plots in the play were equally amusing and entertaining.according to Joann Prekezes: "Whae I enjoyed most about the play was Scott Hirschman's miming. He couldn't speak at all because of a curse and the other character had to guess everything he was saying," she re· called. Needless to say, the hard work and long hours paid off, and the play was obviously a great success - not only for those who were in it, but for the audience as well.

Recently, they replaced their marching pants with bermuda shorts. "We wore bermuda shorts to grab the audiences' attention " , stated Abe Lee. Although the Marching Band wore boxer shorts for only the first football game, they tried to do something different at every game. Not every difference was visual like the first game. The differences were mostly musical instead of visual. The music consisted of pop songs instead of the contemporary band songs. This year several band students attended a "marching band " camp at the University of Wisconsin, Whitewater, to brush up on some skills. Norfo Fujikawa, Jorie Perez, Mary Liz Bartels, and Heather Scheck went to the camp to learn how to be drum majors. Alex Sukoy and Jenny Pellman used the camp opportunity to improve their percussion skills. Philip Weiss went to learn everything there was to know about car leadership skills. For a week these students attended classes, thirteen hours each day, with breaks for lunch and dinner. Every night there was an entertaining show which only allowed four to five hours of sleep a night. " Even though we knew we were only getting five hours of sleep, it was the drive that kept us going'', stated Norlo Fujikawa. The last day at camp, they had the summer national marching band competition . Three aspects made the marching band more enjoyable in 1987. They included the new style of music that was played, the hard work that was put in by several students at the camp they attended, and the new look with the boxer shorts. • 150 - Special Events T he homecoming pep assembly wa s one of the fe w times marching band didn"t have to wear their uniforms. llan Cohen .

" Sounds that came from the Orchestra a'nd Choral rooms dur· ing the year. Hard work and reher· sals were major ingredients for the Niles North Orchestra and Choral Ensemble. Pursuing and pushing the Orches· tra through another year was the job of Mr. Arnold Sklar. Senior Daniel Nahmod played the trom· bone for Orchestra. "As a brass player, being iti Orchestra in addi· tion to Band, gives an oppurtunity to play classical music, marches, and other band music. It's a good experience!" Danny practiced sev· eral periods a week. Orchestra re· hersals presented a problem to Danny, "It was difficult to prepare to a level of excellence with only one rehersal a week. There were also scheduling problems, because I also had to be in Band." Gathering together and rehersing in the auditorium was not uncommon for Orches· tra. Mr. Arnold Sklar enthusiastically dir· ects the Orchestra through another piece of music. The brass section in Orchestra was impor· The major part of Orchestra was the string section. "It's a break from studying and really refresh· ing!" commented Senior Joann Bautista. Joann enjoyed playing the violin but was unenthusiastic about practicing. The Orchestra went on tour with the Band "It gave me the oppurtunity to meet new people. It was lots of fun! You should really want to be in Orches· tra and dedicated to it. You have to like playing your instrument." concluded Joann. Under the leadership of Mr. Robert Anderson Choral Ensemble ex· celled in many areas. Work and fun was the ultimate combination. Sophomore Marilyn Friedman, an accompanyment (one who plays piano) for Choral, and Freshman Kelly Murrin in the Tener section both agreed that Chorus was fun. "It's great to meet people and fun to get in trouble with Mr. Ander· son." commented Kelly Murrin. Not only did the group improve in their singing capabilities, Choral also enhanced individual abilities. "Choral helps me with my piano. I'll never forget the experience." replied Marilyn. "Choral defintely improves your voice." added Kel· • 154 - Special Events tant 11 any other section. Looking down the opening of a trumpet, Frances Alog gives his best shot! ly. Here's some added advice giv· en by Marilyn Friedman, " It's ex· citing in Choral, but it's not a good idea to take it for a grade." Hard work, practice, determina· tion, and a drive to unleash musi· cal talent propelled the Niles North Orchestra and Choral En· semble during the 1987·88 school year. J\llen Kuo The strings was the major section in Or· chestra. They provided the bulk of sound. Ellina Khotimlyansky and Claudia Tsesis really know the meaning of sharing and cooperation. �Concentration and paying attention were vital for Choral. Sivan Segal sits with her eyes fixed on the instructor, but her mind is fixed on the music. Thinking about the music was just as im· portant as singing it.

Congress use the Activities Fair to form students Of organizations at North. Goldberg as president and other Congress members Represented us at EPAC, PTSA, and School Board meetings. Student Congress tried to promote School spirit and all times. Student Congress greatly influ· enced the student body with foot· ball and basketball bashes and the Turnabout Dance in February. The flea market sponsored by Stu· dent Congress was also developed to raise funds for the charity, Cerebral Palsy. The Congress mem· bers were exposed to many oppor· tunities to get involved politically, benefitting to their experience and knowledge. In fact, Student Con· gress elected two members to re· present the school at the School Board, PTSA, EPAC, and TRY meetings. Two chosen members were rewarded with $500 scholar· ships to a political trip to U.S. Con· gress. As a whole Congress was designed to hear the students' voice and respond to them with support. The Student Appeals Board was then developed to uphear justice. "I think Student Congress was a great challenge for me.

The cafeteria joined the celebration of cultures with food and music from other countries. Teachers tied the cul· tural information to their lessons. Latin America Day, European Day, Middle East Day, Asia Day, and American Day were all cele· brated during the week. Senior Alan Winkler commented, "It was a great idea because it gave peo· pie an opportunity to learn about other customs other than their own.

Even with many veteren players returning, the pressure of school work, late night games, and lack of sleep caused the team to end the season with a record of 3·20. Though they didn't do as well as they hoped for, the team still went to practice from 3:30 to 6:00 P.M . The players drilled on the basics, studied stradegies, and most important dedicated. "As long as I know they're trying, I remain patient and encourage them.", stated Coach Pete Christie. The basketball players started out competitive with high spirits. Unfortu· nately, the basketball team went into a slump of losing by four or less points in most of their games and remained in that slump. With the bad came the good memories. For exam· pie, "When the team beat Niles West or in a game against Mundelein, Mitch Jacobson was running out on the court for pre-game warm·ups, and he tripped over a sophomore's foot.

The 1987 Freshman and Sophomore teams had to face such an obstacle. Through a lot of hard work and patience two great teams came into existance. Under the training of coaches Goone, Cress, and Sokalski , the teams learned valuable skills and techniques that will show in the years to come. Prac· tice after practice the teams worked on such events as floor exercise, the pommel horse, the still rings, the horizontal bar, and the parallel bars. William Sikorski was named Most Valuable Player due to his high scores at meets and versitility. Neal Sillins, of The Freshman Gymnastics Team, said, "What made the gymnastics team so great was that we all worked together as a team, we all supported each other and that shined through at the meets" The parallel bars took a lot of strength and stamina.

" Marlo commented, " Towards the end of the season, when I thought I had a chance for All· Conference, Coach Recker gave me the confidence I needed to win ." The Junior Varsity Team finished their season with a 6·7· 1 record. Coach Carl Field stated, "Some of the girls on J .V. have the potential to play on the Varsity team next season." Carol Mui recalled one unforgetta· ble experience. "It was game point, I faulted once, and had to make the next shot. I added too much top spin on the ball, and hit my partner in the rear end!

"Our season really wasn't as good as last year, " stated Senior Rhonda Wendt. "Especially with the loss of our five graduating senior start· ers". The majority of the Varsity T earn consisted of underclass· man . These underclassmen lacked a lot varsity playing exper· ience, which also contributed to the teams difficulties. The Varsity Team finished their season with a record of 5-18-1. This record didn't really show their capacity though. " People don't seem to realize that we play against very competative schools, such as Evanston (19-2), " commented Coach Sue Colantonio. This year, Coach Colantonio tried a new game plan rotation in order to improve the team both offensively and defensively. Bump, Set, Spike! Moving On With Determination from fans, " commented Coach Colantonio. " Fans motavate the team to do better and try harder. They pick the whole team up and help carry the momentum." The Junior Varsity Volleyball Team also had their share of hard times. With a record of 2-22, team members realized that togetherness was essential for victory. "When we didn't play together, the whole team fell apart, but still we worked hard to play well and to keep the team together, " commented Sophomore Susie Herr. The Junior Varsity program provided the preparation needed for girs planning to play on Varsity in the future. Joann Bautista The thing that the Varsity Team seemed to lack most of all were fans. " We need more support Although there were several stum· bling blocks throughout the season , these difficulties brought the team closer together. " We all became friends, " stated Rhonda Wendt. " We worked very well together and had good camaraderie " .

Freshman Mike Sher commented " If you want to get in shape, join the wrestling team. It's demanding and takes a lot of time. If your mind and body are not committed , this is not the sport for you ."

Reflecting back upon the 87-88 year, we not only saw, as the book theme states, an "Un· leashing of Power", but also agony, frustra· tion, defeat, accom· plishment and victory. Tears and sweat were seen on student's faces as they involved themselves in academ· lcs, arts, and sports. Not every accomplish· ment was perfect or even sucessful, but it is said, "Trying is what counts!" The stage was bare, the halls were empty, and the rooms were quiet, but "Unleashing the Power" did not stop. Some graduated Seniors pursued a higher and more "pow· erful" education, while others applied their skills in the outside world. For the Juniors, Sophomores, and new Freshmen, power was revived in September. One day you'll look back at this book and say, "Boy, was that really me?" Well, just remember. out of all your collections of SA· GA's on your shelf, this is the one which "Unleashes the Pow· er" in you, and the SAGA continues Allen Kuo Closing - 229 • �Although Vikings experienced many ups and downs throughout the '87'88 school year , they continued to be spirited and uplifting throughout the insecurities of their high school lives. • 230 - Epilogue �Advisor: Editor In Chief: Academic Editor: Computer Editors: Copy Editor: Faculty Editor: Freshmen Editor: Junior Editor: Layout Editor: Organization Editor: Photographer: Mr. Dennis Qrabowskl Mary Anne C.

In the morning on a typical school day, students hurried to get to class before the 8 o'clock tone. On the drive to school, new fads were discovered. Amusing to some and annoying to others, the popular "Baby on Board" signs stuck to the rear windows of many cars. To guarantee a "cool" car, some students displayed sun shades in the windshield s. Cars, however, were not the only transportation to school. Larger-sized skateboards some costing more ihan $80, provided a fun way !Qr students to get where they were going- without 6- VIKING PRIDE needing a license. Speaking of licenses, 1986-87 was the year of the bright red photo with under 21 stam ped across all teenagers' cards. Trends for school featured hoop earrings for girls and smaller stud earrings for guys. Crew cuts and mohawks we re also the style for many unassuming guys this year. After school, students unwound in front of a t.v. and watched the ir favorite performers singing fo r an admirable cause, such as Live Aid, Farm Aid, and Hands Across American. Several North students not only enjoyed watching these various concerts but became involved in them as well. Some kinds either pledged money or actually participated in these events. A night's entertainment for some students was one of the popular John Hughes' teen movies. The movies, (Sixteen Candles, Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, and Ferris Buehler's Day Off) had even more significance to North students because some scenes were actually filmed here at Niles North. 1986-87 brought many new fads that came and went, but being proud of the purple and white will be at Niles North forever. Jan Velco �The football bashes were a fun way to get together with friends. Louis Loiben, Steve Malloy, Eric Slowik, Mark Tober, Ben Laser, Jeff Rasof, Cary Shimmel, and Lenny Bernstein flaunt their trendy new hair cuts Niles North got into the spririt of the new fitness trend. An early-bird gym class shapes·up and sheds pounds on the exercise bikes in the new fitness room. On those humid school days when you would have rather been at the beach, cars in the Niles North parking lot got hot and muggy. But by having sun shades in the windshield, this car keeps its cool. MAFIA HITMAN ON BOARD iles N North saw many new fads in fashion this year. Senior Russell Chaffee wears a Jams shirt, one of the most colorful trends of the year. Although the "Baby on Board" signs were the most popular, stores were quick to parody this serious caution. This is just one example of the humorous warnings. Hackey·sack was one of the popular new games to come to Niles North this year. Senior Michael Izquierdo displays his bal· ance and skill.

Niles North was filled with a sense of pride and involvement. Lisa Alvarez, a junior, stated, "The clubs and activities I attend give me a sense of school spirit. Our school is a combination of all kinds of people from all different back· grounds, who are able to share mutal interests and support in our school." " Involvement in team activities ac· complishes personal goals and builds the reputation of Niles North," commented one student.

Anne Schenk, another proud student said, "Track gives me a sense of school spirit as well as belonging to a 'family."' Being on a team was not restricted to athletics. Project Lead, Art Club, Auroris, and Homecoming were just a few of the spirited activities which made it easier to get in· volved. Project Lead acquainted the incoming Freshmen with the building and gave them confidence and support. " Our goal is to give the new students the opportunity to know our school and to meet new people. I really enjoy being on Project Lead. It took a lot to get it all together and I think it was a big success, " remarked Debbie Torres. The Art Club expressed their spirit by designing a mural depicting a lunch break at our school. Their mural brightened up the west cafe· teria considerably. Auroris was a club in which ooe could experience and experiment with new dance steps, a club in which one could get involved. "Togetherness is what unites us. With· out togetherness and cooperation, we would not have been able to accomplish anything," comented Karen Cedeno. The Homecoming Parade was a colorful event. Many students used their talents to create a collage of colors. The floats were built ac· cording to the theme "Hunt the Hawks" and our swinging Vikings did their best to advertise our school spirit. Clubs and activities allow you the opportunity to set goals, and use your talents to achieve them. Let your spirit soar, and get involved!

TEAM SPIRIT - 11 �A VDg Faslion Show Walking into the east cafeteria on a Friday before a football or basketball game, your entire vision was bound to be overwhelmed by purple and white. Vikettes, cheerleaders, and Northern lights wore their uniforms and promoted school spirit. Junior cheerleader Stacy Friedman stated, "Wearing our uniforms reminds people that there's a game." Football players also wore their jerseys. Junior Seth Novoselsky said that it also promotes unity and brings people out to the games. "It psyches us up, looks good, and lets people know who's playing," he added. Uniforms weren't the only purple and white fashion seen at Niles North. This year Niles North principal fllr. Thomas Giles gave sweater vests to the executive board of Student Congress and the class boards. "This is a great idea and gets people who aren't involved athletically to participate in school spirit," explained Student Congress president David Sadkin Niles North jackets were another major purple and white fashion. Some had their first names embroidered on the front of the front of the jacket with a club or sport transfer or a plain Niles North patch on the back. Different ones had a small transfer in front with their last names on the back. This was mostly seen among football and basketball players. As June rolled around, the final purple and white fashion of the year was presented. Sitting in the stands looking down at the football field on that special day, purple and white was the dominant color combination. Graduation was celebrated by hundreds of students wearing purple and white gowns. Purple and white were only a fraction of the fashion seen at Niles North. This year denim was popular. Levis jean jackets were worn by many guys and girls. Bleached or tie-dyed jeans or denim mini skirts, worn with the very popular balloon tops and long sweaters, were usually dressed up by silver and gold accessories. From earrings to purses to belts to shoes, silver and gold were the most popular colors this year. "The school colors combined with fashion gave a common link to Niles North. Purple and white is to Niles North as red, white, and blue is to America," commented senior Adam Fleischer. Sherrie Silver nd Denim was the lad for both fashion a comfort.

Sophomore volleyball player, Mari ltitera felt that "the students on these teams have a lot of ability, and they must cooperate with ttleir teammates.

Anxious audience members fill the brand new seats of the N North Auditorium while backstage, iles nervous energy fills the air. Students tune their instruments, vocalize, stretch out, or pace the hallway repeating "Unique New York, Unique New York . . . " Finally the moment arrives: the curtain rises; a performance has begun. This scene was slightly delayed this year due to the asbestos discovery in the auditorium ceiling. When the construction was finished, our performers were ready and waiting. Throughout the year, the various performing groups in school served to entertain audiences as well as provide a creative outlet for those involved. Senior Debbie Gordon enjoyed performing because, "It's creative, and it helps me forget about the pressures of school for awhile." The benefits of performing didn't end when rehearsal was over or the curtain descended. Working in close, daily contact with fellow musicians, dancers, or actors provided for close friendships and a terrific social outlet. This year, in addition to several in-school performances, the bands traveled to New York, the orchestras to Philadelphia, the Thespians and Auroris Dance Club to Champaign, and the choirs sang at neighborhood senior citizen homes. The time commitment involved in rehearsing for a concert or play was intense, often including rehearsals before and after school, as well as class time and evenings. Hours of dedication were rewarded in the final presentations. Mr. Jerry Proffit, theatre director, encouraged students to perform in order to, " ... experience the pleasure of the creative process while working toward a finished, polished product." That finished, polished product was the driving force that made our Vikings PROUD TO PERFORM! Jacki Greenberg Symphonic, marching, and jazz bands kept musicians busy rehearsing and performing.

Physical fitness. Social ·staction. The facilities available at Niles North provided opportunities for students to expand themselves in each of these areas of living. Clink, clink, clink. Pop. Fizz. Gulp. Ahh! Kids drank pop from as early as AAA until the last sport practice was over. The new student pop machine was installed outside the west cafeteria. Now instead of sneaking into the teachers' lounge during lunchtime students bought their pop without the fear of being caught. Student Congress president, David Sadkin explained that half the profits from the pop would be given to Principal Thomas Giles to be spent on special activities for students, clubs, and teachers. The other half of the revenues went to the Student Congress grant fund. Another money making social spot could be smelled and heard from down the hall. You could almost taste its contents too. For popcorn, pop, and music, the concession stand was the place to be. Usually open from 1:30 to 3:15, there was always a bunch of people munching. The money made from selling munchies went to the various groups that ran the stand. Social life was not only restricted to the school grounds. Sophomores, juniors, seniors, and even some sneaky freshmen went off campus. Students left to "get away from school for a while," said senior Bari Tessler, who often visited Bumpkins on her breaks. Working out for sports teams or just for themselves was made easy by the addition of the fitness room. The fitness room and the relocated weight room made up the Viking Fitness Center. The $28,000 improvement was made after two years of planning and visits by Frank Houlihan and Coach Darrell Conway to Joliet Junior College, which was used as a model for the Niles North fitness room. Equipment was purchased so that students and staff could get in shape, and to make it as easy as possible. Gym classes were scheduled into the fitness room for one of the three week units of physical education. "Eighteen minutes," said Mr. Houlihan as he referred to the time one cycle through the equipment took, "t~at's great!" Coach Conway, the strength coordinator, was the supervisor and enforcer of rules in the fitness room. Along with teachers and textbooks, we had other learning options. Clicking keyboards were heard as students used computers for extra practice in the fields of typing, mathematics, and, of course, computer programming. Senior, Steve Rosen added, "It makes learning quicker, as well as more interesting." To see a college you used to have to go there. Then came laser discs. A company called Learning Resource Center donated the machines and discs to Niles North three years ago. 200 colleges and universities could be viewed by simply putting a disc in the player. Along with college campus information, the discs also had data about the military, scholarships, and financial aid. "Students are very wise to see the discs before visiting the campuses," commented Mrs. Shirley Foss, college counselor. "It saves money, time, and it's altogether easier to see the colleges."

SENIOR SPIRIT - 25 �FREE Tl E AS THE B T A student anxiously shifts in his seat, impatiently watching the clock, which ticks more slowly by the minute. He stacks his books, shoves his pen into his back pocket, and sits on the edge of his chair in anticipation of the following unscheduled mods. At Niles North, students were required to be under teacher supervision for a total of 300 minutes per day. The exception involved students who left at 2:10 P.M. because of work or athletics. Students did have a certain amount of free time in which to relax. Popular places for students to do homework or socialize before AAA were the 200 rooms and the cafeteria. "Not me," said sophomore Erin Jacobs, "I go to the theatre room to see my friends and talk to Mr. Proffit." A meeting place for junior Patricia Vargas was the second floor of Hall B in front of her locker. She and her friends met there every morning. "We all have a party there and we don't care about what others think," Patricia remarked. Mrs. Maestro, librarian, stated that during the school hours, nine A.M. was the hardest time to find an empty seat in the LMC. Students went there to do homework and read magazines or newspapers. Apart from the resource centers, cafeteria, and library, students spent their time (and money) on the payphones by the auditorium. Senior Jenny Janosz spoke to her "sweetheart" every day at the same time and place. "He goes to college so he's home in the morning, and there's nothing else I'd rather do," confessed Jenny. Lunch time for Nicole Hubert and her friends provided an hour and fifteen minutes free time. They usually went out to eat at McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken, or Wendy's. Sometimes they brought food back to Nicole's house to watch "All My Children" and relax in the comfort of her family room. "I love lunch time because it is the only fun part of school this year. I really enjoy going home to watch T.V. and unwind with my friends," she said. Students spent their free time in various ways - many taking the time to relax, and many making use of the school's facilities. However it was used1 it provided a well needed break from the grind of the school day. Rachel Sobel Elaine Chan Avoiding the dangers of tanning spas, many students enjoyed the natural sun rays.

" · Barbara Streisand. The way we were, and the way we acted in high school was something to be remembered. Life's most embarrassing moments, special friendships, private jokes, and clowning around with friends created these memories. Free periods with friends, pep rallies, clubs, sports events, Homecom ing, and dances throughout the year set a stage for "VIKING MEMORIES." Freshman year was the year of the unforgettable, embarrassing experiences. "It's going to be hard to forget my first day of freshman year," revealed sophomore Susan Bramson. " Let's just say that I quickly learned where the boys' and girls' locker rooms are. " Wondering about fitting in with the hundreds of other students and finding the correct classrooms, were two main worries for members of the class of 1990. Most of the students felt that they were thoroughly prepared for their first day after attending a day of freshman orientation over the summer. Those who had taken Driver's Education and "lived to tell about it," always had something to reminisce about. "There was a sleet storm during my first time at range," joked junior Nancy Goodman, and during the storm, the number on my car fell off. Mr. Mccarrel actually made me get out of my car to pick it up. I was only slightly wet!" A special memory from 1986 was Prom. For those who shared in the evening's excitement, it will be a memory which they will hold onto. Barbara Bramson, 1986 alumni, commented, "You could actually feel the tension in the air when the Prom Queen and King were about to be announced. It was crowded, but I still had a great time, and I will never forget that night." The last few weeks before the school year came to an end was part of the fun at Niles North. Wondering when and where the next senior prank was coming from kept students and teachers alert at all times. A countdown on the chalkboard of almost every classroom for the amount of days left for seniors was a tradition ca rried on by the class of 1987. The last official memory of high school was the distributing of diplomas at graduation. " I remember how hard it was trying to keep my hat on in the wind," laughed 1986 graduate Donna DeSalvo. "My main worry was getting hit in the head by one of the many flying objects." At the end of the school year, members of the Viking family, take with them a handful of memories which will never be forgotten, precious moments shared with special people, the "NILES NORTH VIKINGS."

Although each person involved in the school had his own unique personality and range of experience, each group was inevitably stereotyped. The Freshmen, surrounded by strange new faces, struggled to "find their place" in the huge, "H-shaped" school. The Sophomores, no longer "fresh"men but not yet upperclassmen, found new freedom behind the wheel. Juniors, conviced that ACT's, SAT's, and classrank would determine their future, learned to relieve the pressure by partying with the seniors. The Seniors, many plagued by the infamous "Senioritis," claimed,"We don't go to Niles North; we ARE Niles North!" The Faculty, challenged with hundreds of new faces and names each semester, worked to make the material interesting for the students and themselves. The Staff, always available to clean, type, cook, file, answer phones, or solve problems, helped to keep the school running smoothly .

Having taught physiology and biology now for twentyit with four years, he motivates his students with lectures augmented by a number of guest speakers. In physiology, a field trip to a college to view human cadavers reinforced what had been learned in the classroom. "Mr. Kuntz has a surge of energy which inspires me to learn", replied a student in his physiology class. This surge of energy came from the heart. He really enjoyed teaching and sharing his knowledge with his students. "Learning about bones and muscles is one thing, but I also want the students to develop a sense of compassion and understanding toward people they will meet as some go into various medical fields."

A student's primary responsibility was to earn thirty-six academic credits in four years, but success in school depended on more than just filling this graduation requirement. Beginning Freshman year, students established study habits which they would carry with them throughout high school. Some students could only concentrate in the quiet library or study hall. Others preferred to study in the company of friends or with the stereo on, and many were most productive when the refrigerator was nearby. Students were responsible for scheduling their time carefully in order to complete term papers, prepare for tests, and keep up with day-to-day homework assignments. They were expected to get a teacher's help when necessary and set realistic goals regarding semester grades. Grades weren't the most important aspect of school; it was more crucial that students approached their classes with a genuine desire to learn. It was the student's responsibility to take advantage of the school's resources which would help to prepare them for college, work, and life. Above all, students were responsible for being curious and gaining as much knowledge as possible from the academic program at Niles North.

When a student entered a _ science or math class, what was expected of him or her? Mrs. Wysocki explained, "the students should develop the ability to apply critical thinking skills and using observation to solve problems pre- sented." Basically in a lab course situation, there was class presentation, laboratory work, and demonstrations with audio-visual aid. Experiments were part of a daily cur- _ riculum _ Students of Niles North were taking math or science cou rses, but why? Was it to fulfill the requirements or were there some people who are truly interest- ed? Some students had a negative attitude about science or any other courses, but Rami Braginsky had a different perspective. Planning to be America's next archeologist, he _ stated, "Science is very interesting even though I didn't like Earth Science, but it depends on the student or the way the teacher explains and presents the material that makes the subject interesting or not." Mathematics was essential part of life. It was needed in career fields and daily use. Luckily in Niles North there were math cou rses, each designed to aid the individual and his need to grasp the concepts and formulas of problems. "Our school, in my opinion has a better math program than most schools around, congratulations are in order especially to the teachers." Stated Sophomore Dafna Elrad. Mathematics involved more than solving equations, it must have been understood by the students so they could communicate it to someone else. This measu re was taken in the course of math analysis in which teacher Bill Zook prepared his students to defend their presentation of their favorite mathematician and their ability to grasp the concepts the mathematician observed. introduced the students to four basic programs. They first encountered Basic Computers 13-23. Secondly, the student received first hand experience in writing pro- - - - grams, solving techniques, using logical structure and algorithms. These classes were designed to broaden the curious and serious mind of today's co mputer buff. Finally, there were courses in advanced computer programming and structured programming which the futu re co mputer scientist will treasu re.

At the other end of the language issue were the English as a Second Language students. Aided by Mary Scherb, students who could not communicate with each other in their first language worked with one another to learn English.

Futhermore, the Department with classes in Foods, Autos, Clothing, Consumer Education, and Management for Living enabled students to comprehend and learn about the skills needed for every day life. " In Foods not only did we learn to cook, but we also learned to run a restau ran t," commented Lisa Evins.

A student could take a semester of Health Education instead of a semester of gyru. This program was abandoned at the end of the school year because of a change in state requirements. During 86-87 a new electives program for juniors and seniors was introduced. Students were able to choose between two different activities for each six weeks period. The program encouraged more participation from students. Seniors had first choice at what they wanted to take. Grades for Physical Education classes were determined on a point system. Missing classes, not par- - ticipating, and not dressing in the P.E. uniform were causes for losing points. At the end of each six weeks period a scale was determined which broke down the points In the future the administration will upgrade the P.E. program by adding more courses to the curriculum, including rollerskating. A five minute fitness period will be added at the beginning of class each day. A fitness room and a new weight room were added to the P.E. facili- ties this year. These new opportunities and the fitness trail, which was new in 85-86, placed greater emphasis on fitness. In past years Niles North and Niles West used two different fitness tests. Plans are for both schools to take the same test so the results can be compared. A new Individual Educational Placement Program is also to be underway soon in order to show the improvement of the individual student in comparison with the other students between the ninth and twelfth grades. In the P.E. program students who couldn't take regular gym classes were assigned to adaptive gym. The east balcony gym was transformed into an adaptive teaching gym which includes shuffleboard, volleyball, ping pong, and a backboard. Students with a medical excuse were placed in the MDX program and assigned to a study hall. Recently, more emphasis was placed on fitness following the example of the country. Additional courses offered in the Physical Welfare program provided a great opportunity for interested students. Outstanding coaches and winning teams added to this fitness craze by showing that there was something to be proud of and that fitness could be fun.

Since July of 1986, Dr. Kathy Peca, was in charge of Student Services. " We work as one big team," commented Peca. Student Services was in charge of many services. One very important service was the Guidance Department. There were seven Guidance Counselors. They were: Mr. Ken Anderson, Mr. Tom Grossman, Mr. Don Harper, Ms. Judy Siegal, Mr. Walter John, Mr. Tom Thomas, and Ms. Mary Murphy. They helped students with registration and guiding them through high school. Ms. Shirley Foss was the college counselor.

Another special service was Special Education. There were two kinds. One was the Center for Individualized Curriculum (CJC.) ; which helped students with co urses. A student was placed in one room and had several classes with the same teacher. The other program was Individualized Instruction Center (1.1.C.). Students who attended 1.1.C. also attended regular classes, but they were scheduled to go to their 1.1.C. advisor three mods a day. This enabled students to become aware that they had someone who could help them with homewo rk, or even someone to talk to if there was a problem. In order for a student to be eligible for the C.l.C. and 1.1.C. programs, the student had to be brought up to a special review board, which met every Wednesday. A case study was done on the student with counselors, his parents, and Dr.Peca. Counseling, social history, health history, and deans repo rts a contributations to the case studies. Along with guidance counselors, nurses, and Special Education, Student Services was also involved with the deans: Mr.John Ramirez and Ms.Sue Hoffman.

Boys' Gymnastics took third in state and Girls' Basketball finished with an excellent record. For the first time in the history of Niles North, the Varsity Football Team brought home the North Suburban Conference trophy. This first place victory gave the entire school a reason to celebrate. While players celebrated the team's ·success, the individual athletes had their own reasons to rejoice. They had overcome the many pressures which they were faced with during the season. Depending on the individual these pressures were either very helpful or added an additional challenge. These pressures came from peers, coaches, and parents. Also, many athletes pressured themselves. They set goals and worked at every practice to achieve them. Athletes expected to better their score everytime they competed. Perhaps the biggest challenge of athletics was the challenge of bouncing back after they played a bad game or ran a bad race. One bad day could not discourage them for the rest of the season. Athletes had to keep their spirits up and their dedication high. These high spirits motivated the athletes to meet their challenges. Karyn Friedman 122 ~ E HALLENGS C �SPORTS _ 123 �aptain Lisa Kim.

At the cam p that we attended in Platville, Wisconsin, the team was awarded a blue ribbon (which is the highest ribbon) each day and also a spirit award. The most exciting competition was the one in which the top team would get to cheer in a national competition in O rlando, Florida, and we placed second there." they also practiced throughout the Football and Basketball seasons, which were from September until March. The squad held practice twice a week, for two hours on Tuesday, one hour on Thursday, and when there was a game, they practiced for an hour prior to it on Friday. Kim concluded, "Sometimes it was hard work, but it paid off in the end. We knew that without the practices, we wouldn't have been able to do it." Although the Pre-Varsity Squad was fewer in number than the Varsity squad, they compensated for it with their professionalism on the field, and their motivation of the crowds. " It was a lot of fun being on the squad this year because everyone became really close," added sophomore Julie Mitchel. "Even when the team lost the game we still had a great time."

Each week the squad practiced, working to improve their routines. Freshman Kelly Kloiber commented, 'Tm really glad that I joined the squad. When the weather was cold, we warmed up quickly by cheering. I had a great time." The squad worked hard at getting the class of 1990 to show their spirit off at F ootbal l games and at PepRallies, a most difficult task to accomplish. When performing a cheer, a formation, or a difficu lt mount, these Cheerleaders proved that being the youngest didn't necessarily mean being less valuable. Niles North had a lot to be proud of.

Each year, the Vikette squad spent fo ur days at Rockford College for summer camp, where they learned most of the steps for their routines. At camp, they competed with ten to fifteen other schools, and this year, won first place in originality, skills, in all nightly ratings, and also rlene Roman was also won the spirit board. Co-Capta in A in the top three for the Ms. Badgerette competition. " I joined Vikettes because I like to perform," stated Roman, "and it is also a lot of fun to be with the other people, especially at camp." The Vikettes were a very dedicated group of students, ranging from sophomores to seniors. A lthough their performing season lasted only seven months, their prac- tices continued all through the summer. As a student walked past the East Cafeteria after school, he saw the Vikettes joined in a complicated kick-line, one of the specialties that they were known for. The squad practiced three days a week after school for at least two hours, and on occasion, they could be seen kicking, sweating, and dancing until ten o'clock p.m. during extended practices before important performances. The Vikettes had always been more than "just a pompon squad." The Niles North student body learned to expect the unexpected. Previously, the troupe had performed in wild costumes, ranging from nerdy buttondown shirts, complete with pocket protectors and taped black glasses, to prison inmate's clothes, fully equipped with a ball and chain. These costumes, however, were outdone during the 1986 Homecoming Assembly. Mingled among the colorful, crowded bleachers, a lonely outstretched hand could be seen, pointing toward the school. The crowd received an unexpected th rill when they looked up and saw a shiny red convertible drive right onto the track that surrounded the football field. As the top came down, several Vikettes emerged from the car. The troupe went on to perform a dance on and around the car to the song, " Greased Lightning." Niles North didn't know what the next great routine would be, or what surprise it would involve. What the students did know, was that if it was from the Vikettes, it wo uld be sensational.

Last season, the team was incredibly strong in batting and in the outfield. The team's batting average came to a respectable high of .360. Junior Tony Tichy led the North Shore in RBl's with 41. Varsity Coach Jim Sakas commented, "We definitely had one of the best outfields in the area. I was really surprised when Tony Tichy wasn 't picked for Conference." The team had some important wins. The Vikings defeated top ranked Maine East and Niles West, and they won their opening game against the New Trier, which then ranked eighteenth in the country. Towards the end of the season, they were ranked sixteen in the state. The Sophomore team played quite wel l. They finished off onference with a record of the season second in the C 14-4.

We made up for our faults with aranour dedication and diligent work," commented S ecki. Injuries set back the team a bit, but fortunately it only affected the team to a certain extent. "Junior Todd Saranecki suffered a shoulder injury in a game. Because of his shoulder he could no longer shoot, and he was out for three games. Senior Doug Petrovitch injuried his knee. Petrovitch helped the towards with rebounding. Also, Junior Mitch Jacobson's ankle was hurt during a game. Jacobson was out of two games. Luckily for the team we had good back up, in spite of the injuries," commented Mike Dietz. Having new strategies was important in out-manuvering the competition. " We have all been learning offensive strategies since freshman year. Adding a new defense (1-2-2) worked surprisingly well," remarked Dietz. "Our goal for the coming season is to get ready for next year. We hope to achieve this goal by giving juniors more playing time. This way there will be a lot of experience on next years team.

The team was defeated in sectional play by New Trier, who was ranked third in state. Patti Sikorski, the only senior on the team, was the leading scorer for the lady Vikings. She broke the school record for most points scored in a high school career. Shari Rozmus also contributed significantly to the number of Viking baskets. "One of the team highlights came when we played Warren for the second time. The Blue It was a fight unt11 the end for the Junior Varsity team. Kristen Cooley and Sheila Dupuis encompass their opponent in attempt to give the Vikings posses1on of the ball. The Scouts knew which member oi the Vikings to keep their eyes on. Patti Sikorski makes her way through half of the opposing team for two points. Devils had beaten us in our first game, but we killed them the next time we met," recalled Beth Laschinski. Petrovic felt that a team high point occured at the Dundee Crown Invitational. " We lost our first game by one point, but we came back with three wins. We showed Coach Florence that if we worked with each other, we could do it." The Freshman team had a disappointing season, but ended on a high note. Their dedication paid off when they won their last game of the season. "Even though we won only one game, we lost several by just one or two points," commented Nikki Zite. The Freshman team lost four key players to the JV team. Kristen Cooley, Sheila Dupuis, Rhea Laguna, and Debbie Hedberg moved up to the JV level. The JV's record was 8-10. "We had a hard time working as a team in the middle of the season, but we talked and worked it out well. I think we improved as a whole," emphasized Kristen Cooley.

Coach Sue Hoffman commented, " The team improved throughout the season, but unfortunately, not enough to win." Nevertheless, the Niles North Bowling Team placed fourth out of the five conference teams.

Aaron Hodges agreed that his goal was simply "to do the best I possibly can." the team. Eric Fliszar broke records by pole vaulting fourteen feet six inches. He also placed first in conference and sectionals in pole vaulting. Aaron Rubin ran the half mile in two minutes and three seconds and Kevin Pogany ran the mile in five minutes and three seconds. Karl Hashiuk, a quarter mile runner and sprinter, was a big prospect for the future. Though the team didn't win any conference meets, the coaches, as well as the team, were satisfied with the year. "It was a rebuilding year" commented Coach Genge, "and we did accomplish all our goals." The teams faults basically consisted of a lack of participation as well as the fact that the team was quite young. But the guys that went out for Track stuck with it and tried their best. M of the team members wanted to have ost more meets included in the season and felt that another improvement would be to allow students to train at different schools. This would allow the athletes to use facilities that Niles North may not provide and to ultimately improve their scores. Amy Pellman One problem encountered by the Track and Field Team was the lack of participation. "There weren't enough people going out for track this year, and not enough of the ones that did were serious" added Senior Eric Fliszar.

They ran for four or five days a week , and tra ined at Mt. Trash more, The Skokie Lagoons, and G ilson Park. A most valuable player was not selected, instead the three girls shared the title. "Since there were only three of us on the team, we were all valuable to it. Our goal was to be all-conference, hopefully next year we can achieve such a goal,"remarked Mc lntyre.

When Coach Barstow was asked about his team he proudly commented, "Last years goal was to do well at conference, and qualify as many girls to state as possible. We accomplished that goal, we finished in the upper half and had two girls go to the state meet, Madeline Oton and Karol Kuehn. The competition was tough because conference was so large, ten schools co mpeting, but we had many outstanding individuals on the team. They were competitive and supportive of each other. In 1987, we would like to take the returning nucleus and mold them to do their best.

After missing the play-offs last season, the Seniors had great determination and the competitive spirit to achieve a finals position. Their spirit was a big asset to the rest of the players. Even though the team experienced more injuries than ever before, their resolution was not shattered. After defeating Warren, the Vikings suffered a loss to Stevenson. Although they were upset, they knew they had to get right back into action. "We rebounded and won seven straight," explained Junior Steve Sand. For the first time, this year players showed enough talent that they could be divided into two platoons. However, individual talents were not as great as when they worked together as a whole. Defensive coordinator Coach Fickes described how the defense worked so well. "The key to the defense was the blending of eleven individuals' abilities to work as a team." , According to the team the most inspirational person was Coach Zook. Coach Giambeluca was recognized as "a true leader." The entire coaching staff taught a great deal of respect and discipline.

Out of approximately 3000 players in our area, Mike Dietz was one of twenty-two players that made The All Area Team. "Since the beginning of the season I knew we were going to win conference," boasted Senior Mark Tober. Along with this accomplishment, the Viking team was named l95 and 7UP Football Team of the Week by radio disc jockey Brant Miller. Entering the state play-offs with an 8-1 record, the team suffered a defeat, but only by a close margin.

Many of the players had not participated in the summer football program which was designed to teach them how to play and to begin weight training.

Their main goal for next year is to win several games and become stronger as a team. The A and B teams were designed so that everyone gained some experience on the field.

The team was led by Dror Zetouni, who placed fifth on the still rings; Lee Wolochuk, who earned third place working the pommel horse; and Shawn Martin, who gained a fifth place title in the all-around competition as well as a third place on the parallel bars. "Early in the season, we knew we had a chance at the state title, but we realized from previous experience that injuries would play a great role in the final meets," remarked all-arounder Alan Hirsch. Although the leading highbar man and potential state champ Joel Wasserman sus· tained a bad knee injury one day before the regional meet, the team was able to pull together and do well enough to walk away with a victory. The team was eager to do well for themselves and the coaches. Head Coach Bill Bro had only been at North for three years, but with his help the teams had propelled themselves to the top ten in state. According to the members, they did their best to repay the coaches for all the time they devoted. Along with the coaches paid by the school, ex-gymnasts from the district also came to help the team because they wanted to see Niles North reach the goal of state champions.

In the end, it was our tremendous team spirit and our team work that contributed to our success in the '86 season. " -Tracy Allen �THE WILL TO WIN Girls Place Third in State When the snow melted and the arrival of early spring was evident, the 1986 Girls Varsity and Junior Varsity soccer teams began their season. The 1986 season proved to be an extraordinary and memorable one. Tryouts for the teams started in April. The week of tryouts began with work outs in the West Cafeteria, ba ll handling, running, jumping, etc. The week gave Varsity coach Coulson and Junior Varsity coach Staerk an oppor· tunity to decide on the potential of those who tried out. The Varsity team had thirteen returning and five new players. The '86 season was the best season in the history of the Girls Varsity Soccer team. Their record consisted of eighteen wins, five losses, and three ties. The team placed second in conference and third in state. Coach Coulson believed that the successful '86 season was due to the fact that,"The team had a taste of success in the previous year and started to have confi· dence in themselves that they could win." He added that having all the starters back, who provided the team with experience and leadership, was another determining fac· tor for the success. Many players were honored with ~-e recognition :Shari Rozmus was All·State and MVP.Tracy Allen received All-Sectional H onorable Mention and All· Conference players included Connie Kruit, Chris Tichy, Marlo Kantor, Tracy Allen and Shari Rozmus. Not only did the Varsity do well, but the '86 Junior Varsity also had their best season. The Junior Varsity record included six wins, eight losses and two ties. Junior Varsity coach Starek commented, " For the first time since I've been coaching girls soccer, all the players came to all the practices so that we could work on both skills and strategies. This definetely helped us to im· prove and play as a team." The soccer season produced two MVPs who were Nicole Cunnea and April Reschke. Coach Staerk stated, "Play· ers like Nicole Cunnea, April Reschke, Tina Finer, Beth Tokowitz and Luisita Francis brought not only their skills, toughness, and consistency to the Varsity, but also their leadership capabilities and desire to succeed and play soccer.

As early spring rolled around, the Girls' Softball Team had their annual tryouts. In 1986, there was a Varsity Team which consisted of nine players. There were three sophomores, one junior, and five seniors. The team was coached by Coach Charles Balciulis and Assistant Coach Suzi Colantonio. They concluded their season with eleven wins and ten losses. Tracey Kurtz was named most valuable player for dedication and cooperation. Tracey commented, " We had an excellent time and lots of fun. " She has been playing softball since she was seven years old. Tracey concluded, " We all got along and that's what made it work; We were all one big happy family. The Junior Varsity Team was coached by Chris Busch and Assistant Coach Cathy Rosen. The eleven member team consisted of five freshmen, five sophomores, and one junior.

Getting off with slow starts, and increasing their pace towards the end of their meets was a consistent characteristic of the entire season. The first meet against Maine West was a prime example. The contest was won in the last relay. Seniors Matt Willens, Dan Blumenfeld, and Steve Rosen were vital members of the team. Sopho· more Eric Salinger was also an essential contributor to the team's success. Newly acquired Varsity team Head Coach Sandstead used many new practice techniques. The team's practices were held every day after school for two to three hours. At these prac· tices swimmers mastered swimming techniques and reviewed the team's daily schedule. Each swimmer was dedicated to achievment during the three month season. Many were striving for personal or school records. The primary way for swimmers to break these records was by painsteaking hard work at every practice.Senior Steve Rosen concluded, "Being a member of the Varsity Swim Team was tough, but was well worth it" .

They spent two hours of their weekday afternoons practicing for their upcoming meets. Practices were hard work, but the team still had fun. "We're like sisters in a family during the season, and when it's all over, we're still friends," commented Susan Struthers. According to Miki Vucic practices were "boring because of the repetition , but my teammates made them lots of fun." The team was led by sophomore Heather Scheck, and captains sophomore Miki Vucic and junior Tracy Allen. "The best part about being captain was helping out all the other swimmers and being there if anyone needed help," commented Miki. Senior diver Eden Zazove began diving her sophomore yeac .i!nd this year she finished first in conference and beat the conference record by forty points. She placed fourth in sectionals which qualified her for state finals in which she placed fourth. "Diving came naturally to me because I was involved in gymnastics, but I still have room for improvement," she said. Since the team was somewhat inexperienced, they concentrated on improving individual scores. "Race against the clock" was a common cry from coach Balciulus. Miki Vucic, Susan Struthers, and Dori Moses spent their off-season time practicing with the Wildcat Swimming Organization at Evanston High School to improve their chances of making the state finals next year. "Even though practice is tiring, I like swimming because I get to meet people from different schools," added Susan Struthers. ''I'd like to qualify for state finals by my senior year and I'm even thinking of going on to swim in college," boasted Miki Vucic. Look at that spirit!

What three words describe Niles North boys tennis team? "Exciting, inspiring, and fun", stated Varsity Coach Pat Grant. The noisy and rowdy bus trips on the way home, rocked with the thrill of victory, chanting of the latest tunes, and talk of their weekend plans. The players played through rain and shine, and even a snow storm. Some members complained, but the coaches believed that it toughened the team. Only one injured shoulder, suffered by Junior Varsity member, Joon So, existed. He struggled as the team entered conference playoffs. Coach Grant labeled the team as young, due to the lack of upperclassmen and experience, which made the season a struggle for the players. Practices everyday and the challenge of Saturday Invitationals gave the sophomores and freshmen members the experience they needed. Friendship was strong on the team and helped to unite the players to have an successful season. Sophomore John Chun quoted " I got first hand experience at school competition and the success of winning and losing. I am sure the next two years will be a winning season. " Last season's goal was to place third in conference, but they were edged out by their competitor Stevenson. Senior Dusit Roongsang commented, "We took it hard at first, but next year we'll get them. " Junior Varsity Coach Mark Recker believed the frosh-soph team had an exceptional season, placing second in conference. First doubles player, Gary Decastro stated, "Our goal was to win conference and we knew if we practice hard and gave it our best shot at each meet, nothing could stop us."

The teams met every day for two hours: 3:30 until 5:30. 1978-79, and she returned to coach in 1986. Colantonio, the Varsity coach, developed an interest in coaching because of her activity in the sport. "Atheltics have so much to offer an individual; you learn a great deal and meet so many new people. I wanted to give back some of the opportunities and knowledge I had gotten out of my years as an athlete." The Varsity team finished the season with a record of six and thirteen . "We did better than last year. Our success was probably due to our new coach, Sue Colantonio," stated Jennifer Weiner, "Volleyball is a very fun and exciting team sport. We have a good team; we are hard working. I think we have great potential for next year." - Her goal for the coming season was to develop and improve the program.

It was an extremely rough season. The lack of participation of juniors hindered the team and caused the team to lose points before the medium started. " Wrestling wasn't as good as it should have been because of the lack of wrestlers to fill the weight class, but overall the wrestlers were very good" stated Dan Manojlovski. Injuries hindered the Vikings. Captain Jeff Rasof, with an injured shoulder, commented. " I was disappointed I got injured and couldn't help the team since Coach Poznansky had a lot on his hands with rebuilding the team." Besides the disappointments, the seniors had worked hard to achieve their goals. They struggled with tough competition, but were able to win three dual meets in the Roundleg tournament, and placed first at Elmwood Park High School.

WRESTLING - 175 �NEW KIDS WIN BIG Experience A Key Element In winning The Niles North Freshman team may have been the new kids on the block, but they were old pros at the game of wrestling. The goals for most freshmen wrestlers were to learn, enjoy the sport, and stay with the four year program. "We were psyched and wanted to win since we had a good line up." stated Mark Bechter. This year the strength of the team came from previous experience, team motivation, and the key ingredientefore entering high school, members of FRIENDSHIP.

Their friendship grew and was used in their support to motivate each other to win. The chanting of "PIN, PIN, PIN", on the side lines, gave their fellow teammates the confidence they needed to win. " Basically we are all friends and always supported each ented Ray Sanariz. Overother, nobody gave up." com m all the freshmen team had an outstanding season. With a record of 15-0 and a win at the North Suburban conference against their hardest competitor, Libertyville, the team made their coach proud. Coach Fickes reflected on the season, "This was the best freshman wrestling group in the last few years, and it bears in the record." .V On the other hand, the J . team's lack of experience greatly hindered the team. This year's goal was to gain experience, because half of the team never wrestled. The wrestling team survived the season with more practices and the determination by the players. A few Key players which helped the team were Aaron Hodges, Bret Balonick, and Mark Kato. "The J.V. did pretty well, the team improved alot and did better than what people expected us to do," stated Bret Balonick.

SPORTS CANDIDS - 181 �When the 1986-87 school year began, one of the most popular movies around was Stand by Me. It was a movie about four boys and the competition, support, and love involved in a close friendship. Hundreds of friendships just like theirs existed at Niles North. Camaraderie was everywhere: in the cafeteria, at the Bashes, backstage at musical and theatrical productions, and at Homecoming, Prom, and Graduation - those special celebrations. Some new friendships grew when students worked together on a committee, in a class, or at rehearsals. Many long-time relationships continued and became stronger. Although the camaraderie between faculty, staff, and administrators was not always so apparent, it was every bit as important as that between the students. Whatever the age, friends needed one another for support when the pressures got heavy. Good friends knew each other's thoughts without saying a word. As Prom and Homecoming approached, friends helped each other decide whom to ask or whether to say "yes" or "no." They shared anxieties, secrets, and private jokes. Real friends accepted each other's faults and learned to forgive and forget. Camaraderie was more than a smile or casual "hi" in the hallway. It was sharing the gossip, the laughs, and the tears. We may forget some facts about History or Biology, but we'll never forget our high school buddies. Jacki Greenberg 182 - COMRADERIE �OCCASIO NS EVENTS - 183 �JUMP Auroris Shows Off The lights dimmed and the hushed murmurs died down as the audience looked to the stage and awaited an exciting night of entertainment. The music started and two dancers leapt across the stage. Thus sets the scene for the annual Niles North Auroris Show. The Auroris Show was one of the most popular events of the yea r. People knew that they could look forward to a dazzling display of talent. But before the dancers performed on stage and made it " look so easy", hours and hours of practice and rehearsal were put into the final act. While the dancers were dancing, the costume-makers were designing. Some costumes were designed and sewn especially for particu lar dances. Others were bought exclusively for the one show, while some usable costumes were found in the school's costume room. The week of the show, Auroris members stretched, kicked, leaped, and twirled during the rehearsals, which lasted six and a half hours each night. These long, tiresome practices were topped off by a six hour rehearsal the Saturday before the show. The show ended with a spectacular finale, followed by a long round of applause. "The audience left the auditorium humming some of the songs and running the dances over in their minds. They were glad that they decided to see the show and were in a great mood," an usher commented. But perhaps even more satisfied than the audience were the dancers. "It's hard to explain what you're feeling when the cu rtain closes and it's all over," added Sylvia. " In a way you're sad because this show ends Auroris for the year and you're going to miss it. But you're really happy because all the hard work paid off and the applause makes you feel great ... You're so pepped up and have all this energy. It's a feeling you can't describe. " elco Janet V While enjoying the act on stage, the audience saw confident young dancers. But what's it like behind the scenes? " You're really excited because you've worked so hard fo r this one show and you can't believe you're finally going on," explains ivera. "But right beSenior Sylvia R fore your act goes on you're so scared you say to yourself, 'Forget it! I'm not doing this!"' As nervous as they were, the dancers appeared cool and confident. 184 - CAMARADERIE Decked out in Hawa11an shirts and leis. the whole Aurons club locks arms and part1c1· pates in a long k1ck·hne.

The long awaited June eighth had arrived. The day the class of '86 had been looking forward to since their first day as freshman was here at last. Treasurer, Lisa Hartman, started off the ceremony by leading everyllegiance, one in the Pledge of A fol lowed by numerous other speeches, including those given by class Valedictorians. Rebecca Baron, Nancy Chang and Eugene Lin. Class members had practiced the graduation ceremony proceedings for fou r straight rainy days inside the gym. To the relief of many, June eighth was a sunny and warm Sunday. Most graduates came all "decked out", wearing fancy dresses or three piece suits under their gowns, while a select few chose to be "cool" about the day, and came with a pair of Jams and a T-shirt under their gowns. The long awaited moment then arrived. It was time to issue the diplomas. Row by row, one by one, students walked up to the stage to receive their diplomas. When the last graduate had her purple folder in her hand, the celebration began. Approximately two hundred purple and white balloons rose from the tennis court and surrounded the entire football field. Those who didn't mind loosing their caps threw them up in the air with joy. Shortly before the graduation ceremony began prospective college freshman filled the co ntest gym for Principal Thomas Giles' traditional "you were a great class" speech. Before leaving the gym to head for the football field, students helped each other pin their caps to their hair with bobby-pins and gave "good luck" hugs.

GRADUATION '86 - 189 �A VIKING HAWK HUNT Safari Style Rolling out of bed and coming to school in night clothes was just the beginning of Homecoming Spirit Week. Tuesday was a trip back into the fifties, as the guys greased back their hair and the girls slipped into their poodle skirts. Role Reversal Day had the guys in dresses and the girls with moustaches and cigars. To tie into the Homecoming theme, Thursday was full of camaflouge and khaki, and was appropriately labeled Safari Day. On Friday d the school was colore in the traditional purple and white. Following early dismissal, students and teachers headed toward the football field for the pep assembly. Fast talking Bruce Wolf, from WLUP radio station, also known as Chet "Chitchat" was the guest speaker at the assembly. The Vikettes performed their first place originality routi ne to "The Dark Side," and danced on a car to "Greased Lightning" for their prop routine. The cheerleaders provided more excitement by leading the student body in Viking chants. The marching band also contributed to the festivities.

Eighteenth Century Comedy Takes Audience Back In Time The Importance Of Being Earnest, a British comedy written by Oscar Wilder, was performed in DlOO by eight students on May 16, 17, and 23, 1986. Set in the 1800's, the orthing, a l r.i.ay was about John W rich snobby man who was played by Josh Alsberg, who whenever he wanted to go to the city used the excuse that he was going to visit his you nger brother Earnest. John's young ward Cecily Cardew, who was played by Erin Jacobs, became intrigued by John's fabricated tales of his brother and fell in love and pretended to be engaged to Ear· nest. Meanwhile whenever John went to the city he told Gwendoline, who was played by Rebekah Friedman, that his name was Ear· nest.

SPRING PLAY - 197 �TROUBLE IN RIVER CITY Bring On The Band Last year the annual spring musical was Mu sic Man. It was set in an Iowa town, River City, where people were content with their existing lives until Harold Hill, played by Ed Mussman came. Harold Hill made his living travelling from town to town sel ling instruments and band uniforms with the promise that he would also teach the children how to play their instruments. Since Harold couldn't play a note of music nor teach one, he made a habit of skipping out of town the moment the instruments and uniforms arrived. Th is wasn't the case with River City. Once he arrived in River City Harold went to work convincing the town that a band would keep their children out of trouble. The town's parents thought that this was a great idea and immediately ordered instruments for their children. Marian, the town's librarian, who was played by Lisa Bany, caught on to Harold's schemes and confronted him only to find that she's attracted to Harold. Marian wound up fal ling in love with Harold against her will. Compelled by his feelings for Marian, Harold Hill did his best to teach the band how to play their instruments and the townspeople were impressed and proud. This allowed Harold to stay in River City safely. He and Marian got engaged to be married in the end. The technical crew, nicknamed "Techies," played an enormous part in each production. For Music Man the Techies built the special scenery such as the bridge and the train. They also had the job of raising and lowering the backdrops for each scene. For each drama production the tech crew had two divisions: construction and running crews. Construction crew people made all the scenery and props. Running crew moved the scenery and props during the play. Music Man was performed in the auditorium on March 6, 7, and 8, 1986. The show went smoothly and entertained students, friends, and family who attended the performance. Being a con artist wasn"t always easy for Harold Hill. Ed Mussman works at convincing the town that a band is what they need. 198 - CAMARADERIE Sari Harris �Playing cards was a way for River City's businessmen to pass time on the tram.

They had been invited for a special presentation of the fall play, "Teahouse of the August Moon." The free performance for each of the theatre events has been a tradition at Niles North. Mr. Jerry Proffit, the director, said, "It was a big help for the students. It gave them an extra performance and another kind of audience." "Teahouse of the August Moon" was a comedy set in a remote village of Okinawa during the early 50's. Captain Fisby (Ed Mussman), an American officer, was relocated to Tobiki village where he was to establish a democracy and stabalize the economy. His supervisor, Colonel Wainwright Purdy Ill (Scott Hirshman), gave him a book of guidelines and a translator named Sakini (Josh Alsberg) and told him to have schoolhouse built. The people of Tobiki used their democratic powers to convince Fisby that a teahouse would be built instead of a schoolhouse. Captain Fisby told the people to make their handcra1ts and said that they would be sold in Okinawa; they didn't do too well. Then it struck him, they could sell the Seeing extra people on his 1eep, Captain F1sby got extremely angry. Ed Mussman tells the old lady to get off the jeep. "Teahouse called for a live animal.

It stood thirteen feet high and took almost a week to build. They also built an army jeep, which looked real and moved easi ly across the stage on a platform attched to wheels. This year things didn't go as usual for the fall play. Work had to be delayed because of several things: The new seats weren't all installed in time, and there was a fire and a scare of asbestos.

FALL PLAY ~ 201 �NILES HIGH BURLESQUE A Breakthrough In Comedy Norsecapades '87 was produced and directed by students. The variety show was produced every other year by the Play Production class. To register for the class a student had to be recommended by Mr.Jerry Proffit. Over summer vacation, everyone in the class was responsible for keeping a journal of ideas, skits, and song lyrics. When school began in the fall students who wanted to be on the writing staff composed a resume' which was reviewed by Mr.Jerry Proffit. Five people were selected to review and rewrite material for the show. They stayed at Proffit's house one weekend to work o~ potential skits and songs for the play. Skits, song lyrics, dance steps and set designs were all contributions from students in the class. After the resumes were reviewed, five students were selected to fill the following positions: student director positions were held by Ed Mussman .- and Debbie Gordon, choreographer: Susan Becker, music director: Adam Kagan, choral director: Dan Sigale. Working late each night after school was hard on everybody. Most members of the cast and crew all agreed that this type of play was the most fun to work and it was well worth the long evenings spent at school. Everyone gave it their all. Manwah Lee com· mented, " The cast and directors had their doubts about the show at first. I personally thought I would have to come to school in dark glasses or change my name after being seen in Norsecapades but the show turned out to be pretty good.

The Marching Band consisted of eighty-five members who practiced every day before, during and after school until the football season ended.

The major instruments of the Jazz Band were the saxophone, trombone, clarinet, and drums. The Jazz Band, one of three bands directed by Mr. Elton Eisele, not only played a more upbeat type of music, but also performed at various local places. This year the musicians gave a concert at the Tower and Garden Restaurant. Trombonist Russel Sher explained, "Being on Jazz Band was really fun because it allowed us to play a different, more dancable type of music .. . It was a challenge, but it had alot of ad· vantages." The many accomplish· ments of the Jazz Band included placing fourth at the Rolling Mead· ows Competition. The Symphonic and Concert bands • each had 65 members. In tota l, they gave 40 performances The Jazz Band performed in a festive holiday concert. Mr. Eisele gives a chee·ful "thumbs up'. throughout the entire year. French horn playerAmelia Samaniego said· ,"Being in Symphonic band was de· manding because of the advanced level of music we played. I enjoyed it though, because once we learned the material, there was a sense of accompl ishment." The Concert band consisted mostly of underclassmen. They also strived for the best in their music, and usually advanced to the Sym· phonic band in the years to come. Each year since Mr. Eisele arrived, the bands have competed in different states. So far, some of their trips included New Orleans, Orlan· do, Atlanta, and this year they competed in New York. A European trip is also being considered for the future.

Throughout the year they performed several concerts held at Niles North for people who were interested in their upbeat style. Led by Mr.Arnold Sklar, the orchestra developed a greater sense of co-operation and teamwork while performing the best music in all styles. The arches· tra had four students selected to the Honors Orchestra: Anabelle Jimenez and Alan Winkler, violin; Daniel Sigale, viola and Miriam Baron, cello. With six fundraising sales, the orchestra collected mon· ey for the April tour. The strings section, having received a special invitation, went to Philadelphia and performed at Temple University. Playing in tune was as important to the orchestra as singing in har· mony was to the Choral Union. The Choral Union, directed by Mr. Robert Anderson accomplished learn· ing a variety of classical and mod· ern music. "This year is a building year," commented Mr. Anderson, "because one-third of my class last year were seniors. Nevertheless I had enough experienced singers to include in the Chamber Choir." The Chamber Choir consisted of twenty select students who auditioned for the Choir and had received a teach· er recommendation.

IC MUS CANDIDS - 213 �FUN OVERRULES Congress ~orks Student Congress's top priority was to serve the Niles North stu· dents. All year long, Congress's ex· ecutive board members and fifty representatives were dedicated to promoting school spirit, increasing political awareness, and serving the community and district. The Activities Fair was Congress's first endeavor of the year. The Fair, which took place in the cafeterias and gym, gave each clu b and orga· nization the opportunity to "show its stuff" in an attempt to attract new members. The newly installed coke machine was another Congress-sponsored contribution which Niles North students will enjoy for years to come. There was no need to wait until basketball season to or have a bash. F the first time ever, students could spend fall nights at Football Bashes. Student Congress organized two Football Bashes to celebrate the triumphant . Varsity Team Several upperclass· for Students men acted as disc jockeys, and the cafeteria was packed with dancing feet. The United Way benefited from the Student Congress Annual Charity Auction. Local merchants donated services and merchandise which were auctioned off to sup· port the United Way. In February, Congress organized the first annual Valentine's Day Turnabout Dance. " Let the Ladies Lead" was the theme fo r the semi·formal dance which was held in the balloon·filled gymnasium. The dance was com· plete with a professional DJ, souvenir balloons, refreshments, and a photographer whose candid pie· tures were later sold to commemo· rate the special night. Congress's success was evident in the enthusi· astic involvement of the student body.

TURNf\BOUT - �In addition to the basic curriculum offered at Niles North, there were many opportunities offered to students through clubs and organizations. Whatever a student's interests or career plans, there was a club that helped him to enhance his understanding and gain valuable experience. For instance, one student was interested in becoming a teacher. Forensics, Project LEAD, and Student Congress helped him to learn about this field. Forensics helped him to speak comfortably before a group, project lead taught him how to be a good leader, and Student Congress showed him the "politics" of the school. A student interested in becoming a stock brocker joined the Math Club, DECA, and the Student Investment Club. The Math Club taught her basic math skills which were needed for bookkeeping, while DECA, the Distributive Educational Clubs of America, showed this future stock broker the art of marketing and advertising. The Student Investment Club gave her a good foundation to learn about investments. Students who took advantage of any of the forty-two extra-curricular activities at Niles North benefitted from opportunities which they may never have again.

The Saga staff attempted to explore the issue of social groups stereotypes. They chose six students who seemed to fit into very different social categories. A "group" was identified by its clothes, hairstyles, or actions. Most groups hung around together, saw each other on the weekends, and all enjoyed some of the same activities. Through intensive interviews, the Saga staff found that every person in a group had his own worries, interests, and talents. "We're all different but we always stay together," was the response that senior Bonnie Glick used to describe her "group." The Saga staff avoided the traditional ideas about high school students and their social groups- the following section is offered as an indept presentation about the average Niles North Viking.

More than four hundred young adults were finished with high school forever. Meanwhile, four hundred new freshman counted the days until September. What was the purpose of high school? What would they look back on and remember? Twenty years from now, would they remember or ouse? High care that General Lee surrendered at Appomattox Court H school was a place to grow, mature, and learn what they needed to know in order to live in the " real" world. Niles North stressed responsibilities. Students were expected to make sure they completed the graduation requirements. They were confronted with challenges and decisions. They had to deal with pressures from their teachers, parents, and peers. They were offered opportunities and had to decide if and how to take advantage of them. Finally, high school was a place to learn about relationships-whether business-related or personal. It was a time for each student to learn what type of people were best for himself. It was also a time to break through stereotypes and really get to know other people. Any student who took advantage of these opportunities graduated with not just a high school education but something more. Someday every student would remember high school and realize why he or she was so "proud to be a Viking." Karyn Friedman 254 - NDINGS E �CLOSING _ 255 �A letter from the Editor Last Words Advisor: Mr. Dennis Grabowski Copy Editors: Karyn Friedman, Jacki Greenberg Photographer Dan Auslin Computer Editors: Jeffrey Alter, Kevin Kohn Freshmen Editor: Steven Gardberg Sophomore Editor· Joyce Ahn Junior Editor: Barrie Goldberg Senior Editor· Jenny Thun Faculty Editor: Linda Skolnick Acedem1cs Editor: Tina Vaggelatos Organizations Editor: MaryAnne Masalihit Contributing Writer Ellen Zfaney General Staff: Elaine Chan San Hams Sue Kushner Carol Mui Amy Pellman Nanci Rosendorn Tanya Schensema Sherrie Silver Janet Velco Dear Staff, I must say that working with you this year has been an experience. We started out with a virgin staff and relatively few ideas, yet managed to transform 264 blank pages into memories that will last a lifetime. I don't only mean the memories printed in this, your second most important high school document. Sure, the book will come in handy for looking up a special friend, reliving Homecoming, or showing your kids who took the conference football title in 1986. For you, my faithful staff, this book may remind you of your most hectic year in high school. You may remember the work nights we pulled, staying until 9:00 .M P . - once, only to lose everything we had written that evening when a power failure wiped our floppy disks clean. Suprisingly enough, we made just about every deadline. Of course, there were the fun times. The ski trip could not be forgotten, could it? And trying to give the pizza delivery boy directions to our office - that was hysterical! All of that took place once upon a time from room A106. " Proud to be a Viking" was the theme of the 1987 Saga. The theme of the production of it could have been "Changes". This book will stand out from any other yearbooks on your shelf. We broke away from the tradition of clean lines on the cover and introduced a fun new look. The new Jostens' Micro Graphics Series word proccessing program greatly facilitated the copywriting aspect of the book. We extended the opening section, giving everyone a chance to work with four-color. As we moved along to the "Personalities" section, placed in the beginning of the book, we got rid of our usual feature articles and added a continuing story to the Senior section. We tried to present a more exciting layout in the sports and activities sections. We condensed the organizations section into relatively few pages, eliminating the hassle of writing about inactive clubs and searching for non-existant photos. That left room for more pages of candids, and an experimental section, " Profiles". That closing section was developed very carefully; it was nothing we had ever seen done before. Although at times I didn't know what to do with you guys, I realize that the production of the Saga would have been impossible without your hard work, support, and aggravation. I'd tribute each one of you individually, but I don't have those 80 extra picas to work with. However, I do wish to extend special thanks to our advisor, Mr. Dennis Grabowski for having the patience to deal with us and the courage to go along with some of the outlandish ideas I came up with. It's been a blast, 256 - EPILOGUE ~ - - -- .. ��rt Abrams. Jolane 87 8. 220 Abrams. Steven 87 65 Ackermans. 11mothy 89 44 Adamow1ci. Oreana 87 65. 248, 249 Adams. Kevin 89 135 Adelman.

Many changes have taken place since the school first opened its doors in 1964. In those 22 years, walls were built around the cafeteria, a student lounge was construded which was later used as a nursery classroom, and the 300-minute school day was initiated. During the 1985-1986 school year, students saw additional changes at Niles North. Within the first few days of school, everyone had met or seen the new principal, Mr. Thomas Giles. Dr. Galen Hosler, Niles North Principal for 5 years, had been appointed Assistant Superintendant of District 219 in the spring of 1985. During the opening weeks of school, the students' conversation was filled with news of a possible teacher's union strike. The rumors filled and stories that circulated throughout the entire school proved to be true. On the morning of September 30, 1985, students' radios and televisions broadcasted the news of "No school for District 219." The strike continued for 8 days, and on the morning of Thursday, October 10, 1985, students returned to classes. 4 - Opening �5 ��With the growth of world technology, students needed specialized training to fit the new world of disks, bytes, and syntax errors. Anticipating this need, the administration purchased 90 Apple Ile computers to help prepare the students. Computer lab room M-122 was remodeled to hold the new terminals, and the old Apple computers were moved to lab room D-211-212. New changes took place outside the school with the refurbishing of some of its exterior. The old green doors of the school were replaced with new brown safety doors that provided extra protection for the students. The doors presented a new challenge, as students trying to enter the school building discovered that some doors did not have exterior handles and this limited their entry into the building. The benches were moved away from the east-cafeteria and placed in the courtyards, and the old, dented, and rusted garbage cans were replaced with new, stone garbage cans. The 1985-86 school year brought the students closer to the spirit of Niles North through new activities. These activities included the first ever "Vikingfest" and "Gong Show", and rescheduled for a second year, the "Basketball Bashes". These activities not only increased the school spirit of the students, but also encouraged them to become involved and to bring themselves more up-close and personal with Niles North. ��Basketba// bashes th . the football spon, de hrst Vikingfest th e various afterschoo/ I b Pa rt y, and, . sore toga . hes Were just a f, .c u s and activiIllade up student /if:w that almost every int at Niles North.

They had no fixed pattern of student behavior or trends. The scenes of student rebellion and picketing for causes was not seen, as students in the 80's were less radical. In the halls of Niles North sayings that were heard in 1985-86 were: "You look maaavelous"; "gross"; or "don't have a cow". Bopping to the music at basketball bashes, going to games, or just walking through the halls of Niles North gave students the opportunity to see and compare what the rest of the students were wearing. Girls opted for the permed me- Fads also included favorite places to hang out. The steps in the Arcade lead down to the deli. In the 80's some student fashions swung to the radical side of punk. Tim Allen shows Heather Rearick his art project. 10 - Student Life dium length hair, sometimes swept up in colorful butterfly clips. Clothes in vogue ranged from bold, colorful plaids to the soft pastels with oversized sweaters and long shirts worn untucked, topped with long strands of "faux-pas" pearls. Guys started the 1985-86 school year with sleeker styles in their mousse styled hair and classier clothes to keep them in style. The fashionable male at North might be seen in dress pants, rather than the old Levis, and wearing evening dress shoes rather than the worn Nikes. Even the football players jumped into the spotlight of the fads when they sported crew cuts this fall. �With the win of the Chicago Bears in Superbowl XX, a wave of Bear t-shirts were worn by the student. Jordan Kagan shows his support for the team. In the fallof 86, the Varsity Football players sported crew cuts. Paul Willis and Chad Lewis show their closely cropped cuts at an assembly. Fads - 11 �Resource centers not only gave students extra-help for their courses, but also a time to socialize. Andrea Brostoff and Barry Halperin discuss a class. During their freetime, students took time to rest on the benches. Freshmen take the opportunity to make a call. 12 - Student Life �Variety Gives Students Choice A hangout was a place frequented for entertainment or for socializing. Niles North students were seen in several hangouts when not studying for that big english or math test. Niles North was located right across the street from Old Orchard Shopping Mall, where students on their free time were seen shopping at the Limited or Marshall Fields. During their lunch time; students who had off campus privileges might have been eating at Boudin's or the Old Orchard Deli. On the warm weekends during spring and fall, to relieve the strain of being in school for 300 minutes a day, juniors and seniors could be spotted spray painting their names on the rocks at Northwestern beach. Those freshmen and sophomores who didn't drive or were too embarassed to ask their moms to drive them some- where, · used the 208 Golf Road bus to McGreevey's, where dancing to the sound of good music was a popular weekend activity. When the colder months rolled around and the beach was not an option, McDonald's on Dempster was a common meeting place for North students after the big football or basketball game. During the school day, the Thespians might be seen hanging out in N143, or the computer students in the computer labs. Certain groups of students met regularly at the same cafeteria tables every day. Students involved in Niles North publications could be found in A106 or N141. Athletes found an area in the south end of the school to meet, work out, practice or relax. Just about everyone seemed to find a niche somewhere where they could " hang out" at some point during the day. During the warm days of fa ll and spring, students would sit by the windows to cool off. Brandi Wa tson relaxes between classes. The Dean 's office called in many students every day. Jeff Fleischer and Steve Lavigna look over class attendance sheets with Dean Bostic. Hangouts - 13 �A Time for Relaxation When the last bell sounded on Fridays, student s broke out of their classrooms with energtic fervor to escape school and begin the two-bre ak called the weeken d. During the week, Niles North student s anticipa ted the coming weeken d by asking "Watch a doin' this weeken d?" North student s could have been seen at the McDo nald's on Demps ter, McGreevy's, at the Old Orchar d theatre, or concerts at the Rosemo nt Horizon . For those who liked to hang out with the On the weekends students would hang out in the parking lot of the Dempster McDonal d's. The interior provides a comfortable atmosphe re for friends to meet. Student shopping on the weekends frequented Old Orchard. The row of shops stand ready for the morning shoppers. 14 - Student life college crowd, they spent their warm weeken ds at Northw estern Beach. Students were also found back at school on Fridays or Saturda ys if there happen ed to be a game or dance. The chance to be back at school on the weeken d caused the student s to see that the school was also a place to have fun. These were all popular weeken d activities. After all this, if there happen ed to be time, homework might have been started on Sunday night. �McGreevy's provided students a chance to dance and mingle on the weekends. The McGreevy's sign tells students that it's a place for entertainment. Many North students gathered at McDonald's after school. The familiar McDonald's sign stands high on Dempster. Weekends - 15 �No settlement had been reached between the teachers' union and the board despite the sixmonth-long negotiation. On Monday, September 30th, teachers in the union pick up "On Strike" signs and hit the picket lines. The strike meant an extra one-week long vacation for all the students in the district. Curious students, however, come back to school and chat with their teachers. All teachers in the union were required to join the picket lines despite the cold and rainy weather during the week of walkout. Mr. Weber, being no exception, arrives in the morning and waits for the latest news on the progress of the negotiation. The sign said it all! Mr. Kokrda, along with Mrs. Barstow, was among the 200 teachers who hit the picket lines. 18 - Student Life �ON STRIKE Issue Salary Is Not The Only One might have noticed that the morning rush hours on September 30, 1985 was unusual in some ways. Traffic throughout the streets in Skokie, Morton Grove, Niles, and Glenview was lightened by fewer yellow school buses. On that day, students woke up after 8:00 a.m. without worrying being tardy. It was the first day of a eight-day walkout by the Niles Township teachers' union and education-supp ort personnel. For the third time in the past nine years, the Niles Township Federation of Teachers hit the picket lines. Although the board and the teachers' union had agreed on some issues six months before the first day of school, not one of the six major issues, as named by the teachers, had been settled. Those issues were job security, salary, fair share, supervision, curriculum council, and Educational Issue Committee. Salary increases were not the only major issue. "The thing that aggravates us most," Mr. Miya said, "is that we get the implication that the board really isn't interested in the kind of contribution we would like to make to the district in school planning and programming. We thought maybe there were some things that we would be changing for good." According to the administrators, however, the strike was neither caused by the board nor the union. "There is no winner in the strike. Both parties were not being able to communciate effectively to each other. The decision to call on strike was made by the union," Mr. Giles commented, "and I think people have the right to do it, but there was no need for the strike." The eight-day long strike was finally over when arbitrators were brought in between the two parties. - Jamie Kwan The strike issue was a concern to the communities as well as to the state. Chuck Burdeen, a state official from the Illinois Federation of Teachers, expresses his concern on the issue. How the negotiation was doing was the main topic in the discussion. Mr. Herbst, as the president of the teachers' union, tells the latest news from the negotiation. The chilly weather would make anyone who was standing outside to call for a warm cup of coffee. M r. Grossman, ta lking to Mr. M cCarrell, warms up with coffee. Stri ke - 19 �Juniors took yellow for their team color and later took the title of "victors."

After little time for planning and many postponements, the Student Congress brainstorm was finally held. "It was a little chaotic, but it was fun. The rules weren't strictly enforced. Everyone cheated, especially the juniors in the tricycle race!" said senior team member Kim Kochman. As with any first attempt there were some ragged edges and wrinkles that needed to be smoothed out. One problem was with the time allotment which was slightly off as the organizers had judged it would last an hour and a half, but it only lasted a little over half an hour. Despite some difficulties, the first Vikingfest proved to be enjoyable for both the spectators and the participants. The "Fest" included four events in which twenty representatives (ten boys and ten girls) from each of the four classes competed. At the end, the points were tallied and the team with the most points was declared the "best" class. The first event was the tricycle relay race, where clumsy students, too big for their bikes raced around the track, each leg of the relay being a quarter of the track. This was followed by the obstacle course, which required that two team members, a boy and a girl, perform absurd tasks that ranged from playing horsey to walking through a wading pool with flippers on. The third event was the eating contest, which was messy and for the on-looker, unappetizing. Finally Viking Fest included a centipede race where the team members, attached at the leg by string, were to run from start to finish together, standing, and attached. At the end of these activities the juniors, with the most points, were proclaimed victors, the sophomores, a close second, followed by the seniors and finally the freshmen. This fun-for-all fest provided enjoyable memories and was the beginning of a new Niles North tradition. Belinda San Juan The sophomore team color was red and it put them into a partying mood.

A Win For The Vikings Even though the burning smoke and the tangy aroma was not present at this barbecue, the Vikings were still able to roast the Fenton Bisons with the spirit of a true Homecoming. The 1985 Homecoming theme was BBQ the Bison. Many months were spent preparing for the week of festivities. However students participation was eliminated when a teachers union strike was called just five days before spirit week was to start. Spirit week was to be made up of Tacky Day, Rambo Day, Rock Star Day, Hawaiian Day, and the traditional Purple and White Day. School resumed with only Hawaiian and Purple and White Days left. As Friday began the halls were filled with purple and white Viking fans. The windows surrounding the cafeteria were decorated with school colors and emblems. Viking spirit was felt throughout the school, the culmination being the annual pep assembly. The pep assembly gave students the chance to get together, share their spirit, and have a good time. Some of the highlights of the 1985 assembly were having The morning of the parade was cold and damp, but even the weather doesn't bother a Viking fan. Happily skipping through the parade, junior Linda Skolnick shows her spirit.

Saturdays Homecoming game began with high hopes. Although the football team only had a few days to get ready for the game, they didn't upset their Viking fans. The team beat the Fenton Bison 14 to 12. The win added excitement to the celebration as students prepared for the evening dance. Then, at 8:00, the Homecoming dance, with the theme, Let's Have A Luau, began. Entering the gym couples were amazed with colorful streamers, ballons, and lei decorations. Music was played by a live band and many couples could sit in the nursery and have punch,ice cream, or cake. When the dance was over many students left and spent the rest of the night at nearby restaurants with their dates and other couples. Homecoming 1985 was a special time for not only those students who organized the different activities, but also for all the students who attended the Homecoming festivities.

It was the first time that Niles North presented a show with a cast containing only underclassmen. The show was made up of short skits dealing with the, joys and problems in high schools in the so's. Skits included subjects of love; student teacher problems; alcoholism; drugs; and the sensitive subject of teen suicide. The shows' title "Voices From the High School" reflected it's theme. The production was directed by Mr. Profit and student directors Leslie Cunnea, Susan Sommers, and Lisa Bany. Instead of having the schools an- nual student production every year Mr. Profit decided to change it to a every other year event and add other entertaining shows. "The show was considered a success. The material in the show contained subjects that both the actors and audience related to and made them more aware of existing problems with their peers. Voices gave freshman and sophomores a chance to preform on stage, use their singing and acting talents, and have fun." Said M.r. Profit. Voices was a fresh new idea that filled the auditorium with three performances and was considered a smash! - Sharon Segev Confesions and explanation of drug use were presented.

Lena A kelian played Aldonza. Three Months of hard work became well worth it as the lights came up on March 7th for the first performance. 75 hours were spennt learning not only the speaking parts, but twenty different songs. According to Director Jerry Proffit , " Although the vocal demands were tough, the students reached the full potential of the characters and the feeling of the theme of the show." Also contributing to the mood of the play was the set, designed by Ken Leja. The Tech crew built the complicated, but very workable 16th century Spanish prison. Credit also goes to the orchestra, led by Elton Eisele, and to the many people involed with the preparation and production of the play, including the costumes, makeup, publicity, and ticket crews. All helped to make the 1985 production of The Man of La Mancha a success. Rachel Sobel Adam Gotskind Very much ha rd work was put into producin g this p lay.

It was the first time a play was presented which starred both students and faculty. The show was "Working", written by Chicagoan, Studs Terkel. It showed how a person's occupation is important to them and although a lot of pride goes into one's job, it's often hard to find satisfaction. Starring faculty included Barbara Bass ("the bookstore lady") as a teacher, director Jerry Proffit as a stone mason, Richard Nugent as a business executive, and Marla Hoffman as a "woman of the night." Some of the appearing students included Steven Singer as the newsboy, Marina Samaniego as the millworker, Josh Alsberg as the gas meter reader, and Deon Williams as the garage attendant. In order for the show to have taken place, lecture room D-100 had to be converted into a mini-theate r. Director Jerry Proffit stated "It was an intimate setting. The audience grew to feel the acting parts of the characters." He later added, "D-100 is an excellent place to work with." Mr.Proffit also said that we will hold a student/fac ulty show every-other year. Judging from the audiences reaction to this show, that's not such a bad idea. Michael O 'Donnell Having finished his rounds, Steven Singer sings about how it's "Great to be a Newsboy." Deon Williams sings " Lovin' Al" and is backed up by Linda Wasserman, Marg ie O 'Connell, Lisa Bany, Jenny Berman, Debbie Brandwein, and Susan Becker.

Gifts, crowded stores, holiday decorations, and post offices were part of the December scene. December was also the month of Christmas carols and music festivals. Long before the arrival of December, the Niles North Music Department began to prepare for its annual winter music festivals. The first night of music festival was opened with performances by the North concert and symphonic bands. Under the direction of Mr. Elton Eisele, the concert band performed various type of music, ranging from the classical Tchaikovsky's Symphony # 3 to Decamp and Houston's light and funny " Lawrence Milk Plays Guy Lunbargo". The symphonic band used its strength to play Alfred Reed's " A Festival Prelude", which has come to be regarded as one of the composer's most brilliant and powerful works for the modern symphonic band. The first night of winter music festival was concluded with Kalinuikov's Symphone # 1 in G minor, performed by the combining concert and symphonic bands. The second and final night of music festival featured North's combined chiors and concert orchestra. Under the direction of Mr. Anderson, the program opened with choirs singing "The Hanukkah Song" by Jill Gallina. Later, a light mood was touched upon the audiences by "Frosty the Snowman". The second half of the program featured the concert orchestra. Under the direction of Mr. Sklar, the orchestra gave its performances, from McKay's Symphonette in D to a sneak preview of this year's "The Music Man". For the first time in Niles North's history, the orchestra had its largest number of students in the string section," commented Mr. Sklar, and with the presences of some of our outstanding students, such as InJoo Choi, the concertmistress, and Becky Baron, the principle cello leader, they have been an inspiration and the entire orchestra has improved due to their presences." The 1985 winter music festival ended with a sneak preview of "The Music Man". Jamie Kwan Every instrument was vita l to the complete sound of the symphonic band.

For seniors it was a night to get dressed in tuxedos and long gowns, take pictures and spend time downtown. It was Prom '85, held at the Westin Hotel. The theme was from Phil Collins' hit song " One More Night". The 225 couples that attended the Prom spent $55.00 for the evening which included a dinner of capon, fun and dancing. The music was supplied by Jack Kramer. It was during the dancing that Junior Class Board presented Vicki Singer and Andy Barnes as Prom king and queen. Although the dancing was coming to an end Prom weekend was just beginning. Following the dance many couples were seen taking carriage rides or strolling along the Magnificent Mile. During the next two days many couples headed out to Marriot's Great America Amusement Park, Lake Geneva, the zoo or spent time with friends going on picnics.

For many students this part of life started in high school. In order to try and help students along Niles North offered classes concerning jobs. One of the more accredited of these classes was Cooperative Vocational Education or CVE. Although CVE was taken mostly by students who already have a job, there were also those who took the class to help them learn better working skills. There were class units on how to fill out an application and act on an interview. Another activity of CVE class was to help students find an area of work that most interests them. Discussions about the work involved in many different jobs in Home Economics, Industrial Arts and Office Occupations were conducted. If one of these areas interests a student follow-up clubs could be joined, such as CIE (Cooperative Industrial Education) or HERO (Home Economics Related Occupations). A positive factor that CVE offers was the opportunity for help getting a job. There were job listings available in the main office and teachers could write recommendations for students. CVE offered two credits per semester; one for the class and one for the job training. Students were allowed to start their jobs during normal school hours. One of CVE's mottos was "earn while you learn". Cooperative Vocational Education attracted approximately 70 students to its program and has proved to be a practical course for Niles North students.

Resource Centers give students all this and much more. Resource Centers, located in the 200 rooms of every hall, are a comfortable environmen t with lots of chairs and big tables for students to spread out in. Teachers offices were located in these rooms, and at all times a teacher could be found there to give extra help to students who needed it.

Because of limited space for study halls in the 100 rooms, upperclassm en were assigned to the 200 rooms for study halls.

Students were required to take three years of English which included: Freshman and Sophomore English, one semester of Literature and one semester of an elective. An English elective was chosen from a publications course, theatre course, or maybe even a Senior English skills course. Most students took four years of English knowing that acceptance to most colleges will be more easily accomplished. For the class of 1990, a fourth year will be required for graduation. This extra year is favored by many teachers including Robert Wolf who stated, "The fourth year of English is very important. That may be the last year some students will be able to expose themselves to things like grammar and literature. Students Working on th e No rth Sta r and Saga counted as Eng lish credit.

In the foreign language department greater importance was placed on students to take a foreign language. Niles North taught four different forms of language which include: Spanish, French, German, and Hebrew. Other than direct classroom studies, the Foreign language department offered several extra-curricular activities dealing with either a foreign country or its people. Such as the case for Foreign exchange dub, who were involved with bringing and sending students to America and to Foreign countries. With the raising requirements in English and Foreign Language, these classes raised their student participation which will not help teachers but for the students themselves.

Providing practical experienc e in such areas as computers , accountin g, and intensive math skills, math and business classes prepare students for today's competitive career world. Business students are taught basic business skills and law. They study advertisin g, marketing , and financing in order to devise and run their own hypothetic al small businesses. Business teachers keep students interested with examples of charters, partnership contracts, and stocks and bonds, and video presentati ons of successful ly run small businesses. Math students practice their skills daily under the supervisio n of expert teachers. Students may study algebra, geometry, calculus, statistics, and accountin g. Successful students participat e in the school's Math Team which competes against other high schools for the highest scores. Math teachers also instruct students in computer classes where they are taught to control and operate our society's newest and most innovativ e form of communic ation. Together, the math and business classes of Niles North prepare students for the challenge and competitio n of the future.

I • 56 - Academics �ACQUIRING EXPERIENCE Students Take Part In Various Areas of Art Niles North does not have a Fine Arts Department separate from the other academic areas. Its music, visual arts, theatre and dance courses are in separate departments or integrated into the English and Physical Education Programs. The Art Program offers a traditional selection of courses in addition to ceramics, crafts, two and three demensional design. The Theatre Arts Program attracts a number of students to the acting, stage craft, directing and play production courses. The classes prepare students for working on stage and behind the front curtain. Building sets, designing scrims, timing an entrance, or delivering a phrase are important topics for the drama students. Involvement in music can be had by way of fourteen different music courses. Music is one of the performing arts and the Niles North music program presents a variety of concerts during the school year for the North community . Dance was a part of physical education units which made use of folk dance. The Auroris Dance Club, an extra curricular activity gave interested students a chance to participate in practices for its annual program. Industrial Arts classes are considered to be practical courses. In woods, autos, electronics and architectural drawing, the information that is given to students is helpful in making career choices, reparing and maintaining equipment and producing useful objects. Faculty representatives from the arts program worked together as part of the Fine arts Committee. The committee helped to present Youth Art Month during March of each year. The four weeks of presentations bring artists, performers and special presentations to the student body.

I 58 -Academics �ENJ OY ING THE ARTS Studen ts Partici pate in Theate r and Music A variety of music and theater courses are offered at Niles North. For the person who wants to be an actor, the school offers many types of acting classes. As theater director Jerry Proffit said, "Theater gives students an opportunity to find out who they are, and are able to find out things about themselves by portraying different characters in an assortment of situations. They can explore feelings, emotions, and conflicts, that they haven't experienced yet, and that can help them with their acting." For the beginning actor Niles North offers a variety of classes to introduce you to the art, including Theater Workshop, Acting one and acting two. Another class that is offered, for the more advanced actor, is directing, in which the student learns the steps in directing a play. The students in this class actually have the chance of directing an one-act play that is performed in front of an audience. Another very important area in our school is the music department. There are a wide range of music classes. There are some classes which require a student to know how to perform on an instrument, and others in which you don' t need any special skill. Some of the performing classes include; choral union, and symphonic band.A member of the Niles North Orchestra Michelle Levin commented, " Being involved in the music program is nice, because I'm able to meet lots of people and practice my skills." A non-perform ing class is Bach to Rock, in which a student learns the history of music. As band director Elton Eisle stated, "Music provides an outlet which is difficult to find in other areas of school. The classes offered give students an opportunity to actually perform and create music themselves." Adam Gotskind To lea rn as much as possible it took a student much con ce nt ra tio n . junior A.j.

I I 60 - Academics �LEARNING USEFUL SKILLS Classes help students in career plans The Home Economics department had a great variety of courses and clubs for students to enjoy as an extra curricular activity or an introduction to a future career. There are three main reasons why students took many of the available Home Ee classes. First, students must have either Management for Living or Family Living to meet the graduation requirements. Secoundly students wanted to, and liked taking these classes for their own enrichment, and finaly their career plans require these classes. Amongst the English courses our school offered, Reading Center is one that many students are not aware of. It is a reading improvement course open to any strdent who wants to build his or her vocabulary, reading comprehension and establish good reading habits. This year the center used its computer with specialized soft wear. Games were used to build vocabulary and students sleeted books to read for the purpos of short summaries on them. In addition to the games and computer use, the Reading Center established skills that contributed to the students lifetime of reading pleasure.

Through their sophpmore and junior years these students were trained by various P. E. teachers. They were taught how to be responsible for a class on their own, lead warm up exercises, and spot students on different kinds of gymnasium equipment. As part of their training they had a week to plan an agenda for one week day. When their day came they were able to take charge and lead the class on their own. Being part of the leaders program was more challenging than the everyday physical education class. Students were not only judged on their athletic ability but they also had to be reccommened by their academic teachers to be part of this program. The students had to be able to prove that they had the skill to work with others and had to lead good examples for the younger students who might eventually become interested in being a leader themselves. Once these students had their training they then were scheduled to a gym class as a senior leader. They became the teachers aid. The leaders program was a good experience for those students interested in someday becoming teachers themselves. Bonnie Mehr .. Taking control of a gym class was the responsi bilty of the gym leader.

Each year, stories were written, paste-up s complet ed, cartoons drawn, and photogra phs taken.

The North Star was, Accordin g to Adam Fleicher, "99.5 percent student produced." The entire staff discussed story ideas, which were then assigned to reporters by the page editors. Co-edito rs Fess Stone and Adam Fleicher guided this activity. After about three days, stories were written, proofrea d, and then sent to the printer. When the copy returned, the page editors designed layouts and did paste-up s of the newspap er. Advertising was handled by Madeline Oton, and Dan Auslin was in charge of photos. Each member had a lot of responsibi lity placed on them. Several changes were introduc ed in the 1985-86 edition with hopes of adding graphic exitement. Color was used, and toned back- ! I ground designs were occasion ally ghost printed. There were new innovati ons in the photo element as well. Some cut-out images and tilted pictures were used in the newspap er. The staff hoped that these changes would continue the award winning status of the North Star. Selected members of the North Star and Saga belonged to Quill and Scroll.

Both groups got equal amount s of respect from the student body, though each group had its own purpose. The Varsity Cheerle aders were a group of twelve junior and senior girls. These girls gave the school spirit. They could often be seen on game days leading cheers in the cafeteri a at lunchtim e. But the real time these girls strutted their stuff was at the Varisty football and basketball games. They lead cheers during the games and often had the crowd on their feet cheerin g with them. At timeouts and in-betw een quarters they did pyramid on the court or field. A pyramid cheer was when the girls balance and stack each other up two or three people high all the while chantin g their cheer. The cheerlea ders dedicate d a lot of time and energy to their cause. They spent hours after school perfecti ng their skills. We, the fans, only saw the finished product at gametime. Most people didn't even know about the time these girls gave up to attend a summe r camp. These camps helped in creating new ideas and perfecti ng their skills. The Vikette s were made up of sopho- , more, junior and senior girls. Like the cheerleaders, the Vikette s helped promote spirit. On the day of a game they could be seen wearing their traditio nal purple and white outfits. As in past years this years squad attended summe r camp. The Vikette s camp was more of a compet ition. This years squad came in first for senior kickline and second in routine original ity. This qualified them for the Midwes t Invitati onal. Out of 32 schools the Vikette s took first in prop routine and second in senior kickline . All of the Vikette s prepara tion was used only at halftim e of football and basketball games. Howeve r their three minutes of routine was a definite treat to watch. The student s filled the stands, stood up and cheered on the girls. Spirited people like the Varsity cheerleaders and the Vikette s were a definite plus to the school. Their pep was contagious and filled the school with pride.

They could be seen on the sidelines keeping the Viking spirit alive. These people are the Niles North Cheerlead ers. Practicing almost everyday, the cheerleaders learned new mounts, cheers and sidelines routines so that each performance was filled with a variety of action for the crowds to enjoy. Time was also spent in the summer practicing and at summer camp where they spent one week with other high school cheerleaders. At camp they learned new routines for the upcoming seasons. This years Pre-Varsit y Squad consisted of 13 members and the Freshman Squad had only 12 members.

Whether cheering at a game or just being at school, the cheerleade rs were to set a good example for proper school spirit and good sportsman ship. Candy was sold throughou t the year so that each squad could raise money for things they needed during the year. For these girls, cheerleading enabled them to make new friends, meet people from other schools, and be dedicated members of Niles North High School.

Cheerleaders - 81 �ST UD EN T INVOLVEMENT ment" 11 Activi ties Pay Off in Enjoy "Good morning, Niles North. Here's what's happening !" became a familiar phrase to Niles North students this year. The voice of behind that daily statement belonged to P.A. announce r Joe Weiss. He and five other announce rs brought Niles North the latest in school news, sports, and events every morning during AAA over the school P.A. system. The announce rs would read to all students things like scores, club announce ments and fundraiser s, and informatio n about upcoming events like Basketball Bashes. "When you think about it," Weiss said, "just about anything that's happening around here we tell to the students firsthand. It could be something as little as someone leaving their headlights on in the parking lot or as big as a student winning an award or scholarshi p." Building manager Maria Thompson selects and supervises the P.A. announcin g crews. Auditions are held in June for the upcoming school year. Once a student is selected, he or she does not have to try out next year to continue announcin g. The six announce rs are divided into three groups of two. Each group is assigned to read the announce ments for two six-week periods during the school year. The "teams" consist of Scott Hirsh- The P.A. Announcers were (BACK ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT) Joe Weiss, Howard Ankin, Scott Hi rshman, (FRONT ROW) Ed Mussman, Jay Steinfink. 82 - man and Jay Steinfink; Ed Mussman and Howard Ankin; Weiss and Barry Roskin . "At first you're nervous when you're announcin g. After all, you're talking to nearly 2000 people every morning. However, after a while you get used to it. Now when I'm on the P.A., I feel as if I'm just talking to one person, and there is no nervousne ss left," Weiss said. Behindd all the glitter and glamour of the homecom ing dance stood the homecom ing committee. A lot of planning was necessary to make the dance memorabl e. To complete this large task, the committee was divided into seven sub-comm ittees which consisted of pep committee , dance committee , parade committee , alumni brunch committee , spirit committee , program committee , and publicity committee . They began setting up the committee in May, and during the summer, committee members were noted if they were appointed chairman, and to what sub-commiHee they were on. After they were notified the chairmen would meet once a week during the summer with their sub-comm ittee members until homecom ing week. The theme was developed around the football team that they were to play against in the homecom ing game. The P.A. Announce rs brought Niles North up to date on what was happening in sports.

H omecoming Com mittee/ PA Announcers - 83 �PARENTS SUPPORT SCHOOL The PTSA dealt with both school and community issues Concerned and active parents could have gotten involved with their children's extracurricular activities in various ways. If a child participated in a sport, for example, the parent may have wished to join the Booster Club. A different parent, however, may have found the Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) more beneficial. The Booster Club was quite visible throughout the Homecoming celebration. During the game, it sold "Niles North Viking" pennants which proud fans waved in the rain, and that night, members of the club served as chaperones at the victory dance. They took charge of the concession stand at home basketball games in order to raise money for the Booster Club Scholarships. Although the club was mainly concerned with athletic groups, scholarship recipients did not have to be athletes. The PTSA also awarded scholarships to deserving seniors with money earned while working the concession stand at home football games. The PTSA dealt with both school and community issues. The groups efforts varied from sponsoring purple Homecoming balloons to presenting a program on Founder's Day. A parent that chose to join either one of these clubs made a wise decision. Kim Kochman / }/ I At each meeting, a spot on the agenda was reserved for reading any communications the PTSA received.

The Distributive Education Clubs of America started fourteen years ago at Niles East. In this organization, students prepare displays, sales, demos, speeches, and reports that are submitted to area competitions. Winners of area meets go on to state then national competitions. When asked what the students learn in class, Mr. William Coulson replied, "They learn with hands on activities related to the marketing and management fields. Students learn by doing not by just watching." Outstanding students have been chosen to go downstate and are then given state officer positions. These officers include Breaking into groups often helps students gai n a new angle of learning.

Signs like this one were seen posted all over the school by the Niles North chapter of S.A.D.D., Students Against Driving Drunk. The club's main concern was to inform students on the dangers of drinking and driving. The club has brought in many guest speakers to appear before students. The speakers have ranged from Skokie Police officers to students who have been personally involved in alcohol related accidents. Mr. Brigham, the club sponsor, felt the best way the club can 88 - Activities get the message across to the student was to emphasize the dangers and tradgedies of the deadly combination.

Four times a year, a great number of the school's population audition for a part in a theater production. Many are not accepted and try again, but for those who are, it's an unforgettable experience. Rehersals begin less than a week after auditions. They last for about six weeks and generally last for two to three hours. There are full dress rehersals the last two nights before where students are expected to remain in school until 10:00 P.M. Behind every great performance is a good technical crew. The "techies" as they're called, sometimes work even longer hours than the cast. They must build a set for the stage, get spotlights in working condition, and make sure everything runs smoothly during the performance. Senior tech member Deborah Novack commented "Time is an important element in building a set. If you're off schedule, it usually means an eight hour saturday. The teahcer's strike really threw us off schedule for the fall performance of 'Night Watch'." Even the Niles North Theater Department wasn't immune to it's share of "bloopers".

He wasn't even aware there was a performance going on!" All the rehersals, all the hype, and all the anticipation finally come to a close with the opening night performance. Although nervousness could well be expected when you're on stage in front of several hundred people, it sometimes worked to an actors advantage according to junior Debbie Gordon. "I guess it's a feeling of excitement and energy having people watching you. I get nervous, but I believe it betters the performance." The most important person to a show is director Jerry Proffit. Even the newest of students realize this. For example, sophomore David Gould stated "The Niles North Theater Department is the greatest, but without the ingenuity of Mr. Proffit, I'm sure it wouldn't be half as good". A lot of hard work goes into a show. It takes an average of seventy hours of rehersal to bring a two hour performance to the audience but according to the thespians, it's more than worth it.

"Too many students believe that only 'the future doctors of America ' are allowed to join the Medical Club, " stated Jennifer Mark, senior," Actually , its purpose is to promote interest in medicine and science." "The Internati onal Club is here to help our own student body realize the vast number of cultures that exist in our community.

The answer was the Creative Cooking Club. Students who joined made everything. They prepared lasagna, spritz, pizza, spaghetti, nachos, baked Alaska, apple pie, and Fondue. Members also acquired experience in correctly setting a table and appropriate manners when eating out. Materials were bought with the money raised through dues and through fund raising; this year, Le Pops were sold. A major event that members attended was the National Restaurant Association "Show" during May at McKormick Place. One may have attended through invitation only. Mrs.McElfresh, the sponsor of the club, took several students with her. Demonstrated in the show were the latest in everything culinary; from accessories to decor; included were uniforms and furnishings. There were techniques on better formats for menus. 96 - Activities Many competitions such as gourmet foods judged on artistic preparation were held along with lectures on managing hotels and restaurants. Participants in the cooking club went on field trips and finally to a local well reknown restaurant at the end of the year. A new wave of science fiction, Doctor Who, and White Dragon entered North with its new Science Fiction Club. The club, which was sponsored by Mr.Lange, met every Monday after school to watch science fiction videotapes and have discussions about the latest science fiction books on the market.

The club was more informal and gave interested students the chance to play what they called "casual chess". This type of chess differed from the "classical" form of the game in that it involved fun rather than competition. The club met on Tuesdays and Fridays and on these days they busied themselves by playing these casual variations of the game. One variation was called "Give-away-chess". The goal in this game was to get rid of all your pieces before your opponent did; in simpler terms: to lose. More serious chess was played by the eight members of the Chess Team. Mr. Cardulla, the sponsor, accompanied them to their competitions against other schools in their North Suburban Chess League. The players were ranked by board: the best player playing on the first board, the second best on the second and so on, altogether there being eight boards. They entered this chess "season" as defending conference champs with junior Steve Kirn as the first board player. Through the years the Math T earn has always had a competitive edge. But this year the Teachers' Union Strike had a very negative effect on the team's rank forcing them to forfeit an important meet. At the end of their season they placed at a lower standing than they had hoped. The team was part of the North Suburban Conference competing against schools like Evanston and New Trier. They competed on four levels: the freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior levels. The top three scores from each level were combined to form the team score. Among the consistent scores were seniors Nancy Chang, David Reinstein, Nori Ruo, and president Gary Mines. Belinda San Juan Students helping their peers was a part of m... activities.

The Choir Union, which was composed of the Girl's Ensemble, and Chamber Choir, met everyday. Advanced members of the Chamber Choir (Honors) met also after school for practices. Honors Choir members had to audition for Chamber Choir and then were selected for Honors. Mr.Anderson, the director, conducted and directed all the choral groups, preparing them for the North Surburban Chorus Festival, which was held at Antioch. The festival consisted of many choruses from different schools giving performances. The Choir Union arrived at 9 A.M. for practice and the entire concert was over at 8:30 P.M. The Choir worked on spiritural music and the Honors Choir worked on pieces from Mozart and Hayden. They also worked on a variety of music from classical pieces and selections from musicals. During Christmas, seasonal selections were rehearsed. The Choir Union gave a winter and spring concert and the Honors Choir presented programs outside of school. "If one enjoys music and singing, the choir groups give a chance to do this, and there is no homework," stated advanced Honors Choir member Susan Sommers.

Chorus - 103 �HIT RHY THM into the S HOME groove" gets "Band Many high schools have bands. Marching bands, symphonic bands, and jazz bands are commonplace to the eyes and ears of most students. The Niles North band though, is really something special according to band president Joe Weiss. "Out of all extra-curricula r activities, band has the most potential because we have a very talented group of musicians." The dedication given to the band by its members is unbelievable. Many members have been in some sort of school band since fourth grade and remain in band for all four years of high school. Whether you go to a football game, a basketball game, homecomming, or a pep ralley,you can expect to see the band. They even play throughout the graduation ceremonies. One of the highlights of the year comes The parade went on despite the rain. The marching band holds th eir heads u p high. 10 4 - when the band gets to compete out-ofstate. In 1985, they were asked to go to Florida to represent our school in a competition. They were one of five bands selected across the country. "The exciting part of the trip came when we marched in a parade at Walt Disney World with 20,000 people watching us." stated sophomore Doug Bress ler. It's highly unusual for a school activity to hold practices or get togethers over the summer, but not for band. They got together two nights a week over the summer. They also marched in the Fourth of July parades for Skokie, Morton Grove, and Glenview. Joe Weiss stated "Of course we're a closely knit group. We have to be to be successful." Michael O 'Donnell Lesli Duglow It too k a lot of practi ce to be in the marching band.

Band - 105 �ORCHESTRA PROVIDES UPBEAT STYLE "Funds provide for Canadian tour" The Orchestra, directed by Mr. Scholar, had only one objective, to play. Throughout the year they performed several concerts held at Niles North for any who were interested in their upbeat classical style. They usually leaned towards the original classics but added a modern strain to it giving them a new, interesting sound. Besides working hard on their pieces during their one hour class, they were also prompted to work hard at selling anything from candy bars to lollipops. Their goal was to raise enough money for their May tour to Canada. The tour was like a concert and gave them another chance to play, practice and enjoy themselves. Besides selling, they were also asking for donations especially from stores whom they also asked for advertisements. At the Spring Musical, "Music Man", Scholar acted as conductor and directed a combined group of band and orchestra members to a fine performance. Only her first real year on orchestra, Senior Linda Hong, who played the violin, said it was a fun one. With only two years under her belt, Linda had only one regret-not having started sooner. Belinda San Juan The Niles North Orchestra performed many times during the yea r. Each musicia n practi ced lon g hours to prepare for the shows.

A collaborative unit is how the dictionary describes a team. At-Niles North there were many teams. The baseball team consisted of four divisions: all of them worked and "collaborated" together during the season in their units to out perform the competition. The Freshman A team, with a record of 14, 3, and 2 along with the Freshmen B team, held a record of 8 and 7 and were able to do an outstanding job. Along with varsity, j.v.'s biggest advantage was their strong batting ability. Varsity produced excellent scores with a record of 14 and 11. All Conference players were Senior 128 - Sports M ark Mcintosh Junior Bob Powers, and Junior Mitch Goldstein. Most valuable players were Mark Mcintosh and Bob Powers, Coaches Pugliese and Ramseger and their teams into a very successful season.

Boys Baseba ll - 131 �Experience pays off With hopes of bringing home a state championship trophy, the 1985 boys gymnastics team dedicated their summer to rough workouts. A new head coach was a key factor in a sixth place in the state competition. Coach Bill Bro took over the position of head coach at the beginning of the gymnastics year. Niles North was continualy fighting Shawn Martin for first in state with York and Addison Trail. However Vince Rostowski suffered a tragic gymnastic injury which sidelined him for the re- mainder of the season. The m1ury and an end of the season leg injury to Joel Wasserman were credited with the possible difference between first and sixth in state. Having received a seco nd place conference title, a regional championship, Dave Goldman, parallel bars and Howard Zavell, still rings, took first place in the state championship meet. Commenting on the 1985 team Joel Wasserman stated, " We really were hoping for state championship early in the season, but Vince's knee injury was the hardest blow to the team. We have already begun to work on the next years team and I beleive we can do a better job next year." With this in mind the Niles North gymnastic team will work hard to uphold their winning tradition.

Although, admittedly, their team was small and the number grew smaller as the season progressed, the ones who were out and stayed out were all loyal to the sport. They practiced hard in all kinds of weather and some of their meets were run under even worse condition. " I remember at one meet it was snowing, even hailing," recalled junior John San Juan. Despite these Doug Columbik "difficulties" they did do well in their individual races and relays, but because of the fact that they didn' t have enough runners for every event they won only a few of their meets. The team consisted of mainly sophomores and juniors and was led by Coach Howard and Coach M cintyre. Some of the better runners were Doug Culumbik and John San Juan who ran in the relays and in the 200 and 440 yard dashes. Besides other runne rs, the weather was a n ot her opponent to be wary of. Running va rsity hurdles, Chris Redito overcomes both. 0 0 Stre ngth and good form helped inc rease the distan ce on each throw.

Boys Track - 135 �Speed Picks Up Eighteen schools attended the Girls Track and Field Conference Meet and Niles North finished an impressive third. But at that point it was not surprising. They had shown their strength throughout the entire season. The primary goal of the team was to get as many girls as possible to sectionals, which are held downstate. This was accomplished through hard Karol Kuehn practices, wellrun meets, and a sincere effort to do their best. In the end the team that went downstate consisted of more girls than had been expected. Niles North attended the Lake Forest Relays and out of the fifteen competing schools, ours won a third place trophy. The next step for the team was conference. Karol Kueh n was conference champion for the 1800 meter run; M adeline Oton placed in the discus and shotput; and the 1600 meter relay team of lead-off runner Risa Stack , M ary M eek, Colleen Mcintyre, and anchor Doris Adler held their conference title for the second year in a row. Risa also won the high jump. The medley re- 136 - Sports lay team consisted of Cari n e McCa ll, Doris Adler, Lau ra Berger, and Risa Stack came in second at conference. Our girls' track and field team had a great day at sectionals as they accomplished their goal and managed to set five school records. "The track and field team never before had two girls as sectional champs," stated Mr. Bars tow, coach of the girls track and field team. The two sectional champs were Karol Kuehn for the 1800 meter run and Madeline Oton for discus and shotput. As Julie Tucker, member of the team, put it, "We had a fantastic year!"

Practice made perfect. Colleen Mcin tyre and Mary Meek show how practice and running are perfect wh en done with friends. The Falsberry Flop was considered an old form of high jumping. But Risa Stack shows an excellent form of the "old-fashioned" flop during a meet. Being th e anchor of a rela y team always put a lot of pressure on th e runner. But Doris Adler takes it in stride. Girls Track - 137 �Important Ingredient With only two seniors competing, the Boys Varsity Tennis Team was considerably younger than last year's team. According to varsity coach, Pat Grant, the lack of upperclassmen and experience was a serious setback for the team. Age and experience are important ingredients for the team during the season, combining them often results in a winning season. Steve Sand s, the sole freshman playing at the varsity level said, " I went in there not knowing the team, but we all worked hard and did well." Overall the team placed fourth in the Glenbrook South Sectionals. All-conference player, Mike Wirth, summed up the season as a 138 - Spo rts " learning experience" and thinks the "Team will do as well or better next year." The Junior Varsity Tennis Team consists of thirteen freshman and just one sophomore. Coach M ark Recker feel s the team is one of the best froshsoph teams he's seen in his six years of coaching. The varsity team had four allconference players: Adam Garland, Steve Sands, Ram esh Sub ram ani, and M ik e Wi rth . Gary Kantor was named most valuable player.

Many team members trained over the summer by joining soccer camps where they were introduced to co-ed games. Also,a rigorous program of runto ning strengthen leg muscles and improve endurShari Rozmus ance was entailed pre-season. Returning sophomore, Shari Rozmus, once again proved to be an outstanding player, scoring 32 goals in 20 games. Due to her remarkable skill, she was placed on the Girls' All State Team in 1985. Afternoon socce r matches were the mainstay of th e spring season. Senior Belinda San Juan intercepts and stea ls the ball from an opponent. 140 - Sports Coach Coulson noted that even when up against such stiff competition as Libertyville,Evanston, and Lake Forest, team spirit was maintained at a high point. " Everyone tries to cheer for someone else," said Coach Coulson. A perfectionist, Coach Coulson maintained that there is always room for improvement. "In order for us to be competitive with such teams as Libertyville and Lake Forest, we must not rely on this past year's success. We must sharpen our skills." Observing the practice and hard work by the girls, the team is doing just that. Kimberly Pamper Hard practice payed off for all members of the team.

At that time, the Girls Varsity Softball team gets into action. Although there was much enthusiasm, it was not a winning 1985 season for the girls. "We could have done better, but it 's okay , we had alot of fun" said Senior Laura Pomeran tz, a member of the Varsity team. MVP Leslie Babetch Many girls including Gayle Lev, Leslie Babetch, Sharon Gothlef, Laura Pomerantz, and M olly Gavin have played on the team for three years. They contributed to the ongoing spirit through the season. Newcomers to the Varsity team included Kris M onstivil and Junior T racey Ku rtz. Last season T racey played on the Freshman team. 142 - Sports Spirits were also high for the girls J.V. and Freshman teams. The J.V. followed with an enthusiastic season. Led by Juniors Rhonda W endt and Danica Petrovic, the J.V. team won over one-third of their games. For the 13 woman Freshman Softball team, the number 13 was not a lucky one.

The teams concentrated more on building up their endurance for their competetive long distance runs this year. " Cross country is a gruelling sport in which the students don't get the recognition they deserve." stated Coac h H oward. The teams had a noticable differAaron Rubin ence in their quality without some of the previous members but old member Karol Kuehn feels that lack of experience won' t hold back new drive from this years team members. "Although our team is small, we have the speed and strength to hold our own with the larger teams we ran against." stated Kuehn. The varsity girls team finished with a record of 0 wins and 10 losses while the varsity boys team also finished with an 0 and 10 record. The teams also ended their seasons with selecting the Most Valuable Players for 1985. The M.V.P. for Varsity girls was senior Karol Kuehn, while junior Denny Kim was selected M.V.P. for varsity boys.

What would a school be without a winning football team, spirited cheerleaders, and the fans. The varsity football team saw a lot of action from the fans, the cheerleaders and even some action from other teams. Going into the season with some newly developed muscles from a summer spent in the weight cage, and with second year coach, Paul Giambeluca, the Vikings had a good chance of Mike Furmanski a winning season. This year they posted a 5-4 record. From every aspect of the game this football team has talent. The offensive line included four senior letterman: co-captain Mike Furmanski , who was also named Most Valuable Player and All Conference player for two years, Howard Ankin, Rick Horwitz, and Jamie Rabinowitz.

Of the two goals set for the Freshman Football Team in the 1985 season, only one of them was met. The first goal, winning as many games as possible, was not accomplished. The team finished the season with a win-less, score-less record. The second and more important goal set by Coach Poznansk y was for the team to learn as much about football as possible. Although the Freshman Football players did not realize the responsibility that is part of building a good team, they tried their hardest to win every game. Coach Poznansky commented, "The kids had a lot of integrety. They were always fighting in games. Size definitely helped, as this year had one of the bigger Freshman teams. The guys had more height and weight than in past years. This aspect helped to make, in athlete Alan Satyr's opinion, the defense a strong point of the team. Although no games were won, the Freshman team was good. Satyr concluded, "We were a lot better than our record showed."

Coach Rusk stated "There were a lot of close matches, seven of the nine were lost by a few strokes." C oac h Ru sk ' s big suprise was the sophomores' lead over the v arsity team . Although Rusk did not anticipate using Dean T sagga ri s on varsity, T saggaris turned out to lead the team Dean T sagga ris at the end of the year with 622 strokes and was names most valuable player. Following Dean were Sophomore Howard Holowaty with 624 strokes, and Junior M ic h ael H olowaty with 627 strokes.

Coach Rusk considered this final competition to have been the best played match all season. Coach Grant considered this year's 3 and 7 record fairly successful for the Frosh/ Soph Golf team. Coach Grant thought the season successful because he lost his strongest players to the varsity team. The team's most consistent scorer this year was T om O 'Gorman , followed closely by Freshmen Steve Friedman, Andy Miles, Mike Gremley, Mike Byron, Marc Silverman, and Bill Sikorski.

Golf - 1s1 �SKILLS______ Seasons Losses Challenges Team Spirit If there was one comment to make about soccer it would have to be that soccer was a fast moving sport. There were many great soccer athletes like Pele, the famous Braz i Ii an soccer star. At Niles North our star players were ~I Ronald Farkas Ronald Farkas and Mauri ce Ut sc hen who were elected to the All Conference Team. Ronald Farkas played four years of soccer for Niles North. Mauurice has also played four years of soccer. Even though skills were important in the game of soccer, so was team spirit. Though the Varsity teams' record of 2-16 was not outstanding, the team played each game with spirit and determination. A good team record was only one ingredient in a successful season; enthusiasm, commitment, and skills were what separated this team from other teams. Caryn Raskin, a student at Niles North said that the Boys Varsity Team, "showed a lot of determination, cooperation, and most of all school spirit. I also wish the entire team good luck for the next season." Continuing on the Freshman "B" soccer team, Glen Pekofsky, a player on the team remarked that, "the team was unique in that we always lost. Everytime our opponents score increased, our teams' skills increased." One thing that the Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Freshman teams had in common was that they showed a lot of school spirit.

The varsity tennis team began the season with the advantage of having many returning players. That advantage provided them with more experience in competition. Playing number one singles for the varsity team was Valerie Weiskirch, and number two singles was Gail Gai l Jones Jones. Gail won the most valuable player award for the team, and as Coach Field said,"Gail always worked hard, hustled, and her determination won her games against some superior opponents." Playing on the doubles teams were Kelly Patt and Marlo Kanter, Susan Cohen and Natasha Prager, Kanai Gusa and Stacey Fromm. The teams record was improved to five and six, and sent six players to the sectional tournament. Although the team struggled against such superior opponents as Libertyville, Lake Forest, and Stevenson, the team did very well, had fun, and as senior Natasha Prager said,"It was nice being on a team that had such good spirit. I enjoyed making new friends. " The Junior Varsity team also had a five and six record, coming in fourth place. The JV most valuable player was Unah Shah. Next year there won't be many returning players on the varsity team, but the ones that do, are very experienced, and they should have a good advantage.

Inspite of their 1-12 record, sophomore Beth T okowi tz said " We always tried and we never gave up no matter how tough things got." "The most exciting part of the year came when after all of that practice, we beat Niles West," junior Stacey Rose nb e r g added. Julie Tucker And they did practice. Swimmers stayed after school for usually two hours after most other people were at home and they were back on Saturday morning. They did try to have fun at the practices though. Even Coach Balciulus was thrown in the pool to break up the monotony. The fact that the team didn' t win much couldn't stop the fact that they had a great time together while at it. Captain Leslee Babetch stated the reason why she chose to be on the team for all four years of her high school career was because "There's a kind of spirit here that bonds friends together and I'm glad to have been part of it." She later added, " Even though the swimmers only won one meet, the divers had never lost one and I' m very happy for them." It's quite obvious that friendship plays an important role in the girl's swimming team. Senior Julie Tucker summed it perfectly when she said, "I think the best part about being on the team is that everybody's basically one big family."

The team want ed to be 500 for the season. Chara cteris tics of a good team are unsel fishn ess, playi ng well toget her, and gettin g along on the court as well as off. If the playe rs don't respect each other off the court , it will reflec t on the court . A team needs to work well toget her in order to win. The Varsi ty team had a "We" appro ach, whic h made them work well toget her as a team. Coach Chris tie said that the "We" appro ach was how he ~ fe lt the game shou ld be playe d. The " I" appro ach preve nted the team from work ing as a whol e. One playe r does not make a team, the team work ing toget her make s it to the top. Before a team make s it to the top, they must win in state competiti on. This is consi dered by the coach es to be a secon d seaso n. In state comp etitio n the process of elimi natio n is used.

The Boys' Varsity Swim Team finished with a record of four wins and seven losses. Although there were not many victorious meets, a few strong swimmers kept the team afloat. Junior diver M a tth ew Willens did well despite the fact that there was no diving coach . Senior Swimmer David Junior Diver M atthew Willens Noe, the team captain and MVP held the team together. N oe was a quick sprinter who managed to break school records. He came very close to qualifying for the state meet. A new addition to the swim team was Freshman Eric Salinger. Eric won several first places in the 500 yard freestyle. Sophomore Jos h Alsberg felt that inexperience and lack of spirit hurt the team. " We were pretty motivated, but not totally psyched up," he said. There were only three seniors, so the team was composed mostly of sophomores and juniors. Head coach Joe Rusk commented that the loss of several swimmers hampered the team. The 1985-86 swimming season was, in Al bergs opinion, "mediocre". Whether a team had a good or bad season is not usually reflected in the record. Although the Boys' Junior Varsity Swim Team finished with a five win, six loss record, it was, in Coach Balculius' opinion, a successful season. " I'm pleased with the amount of progress the boys made", he stated. He felt that in addition to in proving times and perfecting strokes, the guys learned a lot about themselves and how to be good team members. "The attitude of the boys was impeccable", Balculius remarked. Through intense workouts, the swimmers worked up the strength, stamina, and skill required to beat a few good teams they had lost to in previous years.

While on the sidelines, Senior John Leal rested his sore leg and cheered on his teammates. Senior Marshall Goldsmith said "A lot of effort went into it (the team), but something wasn't there.

Wrestling - 171 �TEAM New Coach Added to Program The 85-86 Girl's Basketball Team had a rebuilding season, according to head Coach Holly Smith. With the addition of J. V. and assistant varsity Coach Kathy Meyers to the basketball program, the team worked on the basic skills of the game. The new Coach Kathy Meyers, who coached during the summer at the Doug Bruno Girls Basket ball Camp, said "after seeing alot of players at the camp I thought we would be very competitiv e." During the season Meyers took advantage of the team 's quicknesss and used a press defense to compensa te for the team's small size. Meyers expected dedication, skill, attendanc e, and effort from the girls. Smith felt that having Meyers on the girls basketball program was an advantage for the team. "With her knowledg e of coaching we looked forward to a good season. Defense having been a weakness and playing against their toughest opponent Libertyvil le, the team still managed to have a good season. Junior Patty Sikorski, Seniors Les lie Babetch, and Susan Huech were the prominent players on the team, each getting the most rebounds and longshots of the season.

In Bowling, strikes are just what one wants and the Girl's Bowling team made many strikes. There was a junior and varsity team; the varsity consisting of mostly seniors. On game days, the team would leave right afterschoo l and play at Oakton Bowl. The season went well with a balance of wins and losses. The team was generated Caryn Roskin with spirit which was evident at every game. Their cheers from a strike could be heard from the opposite end of the bowling alley. M s.

Thomas Giles M.A. Principal - 180 - What has fourteen legs and was essential to the well-being of the school? The District 219 Board of Education. The Board consisted of four men and three women. The members were elected publicly to serve a four- year term. It met twice a month, but the job entailed much more than bi-monthly meetings. Extensive time and effort was volunteered to make the district run smoothly. Upholding the fine quality of education was just one of the many concerns of the Board. It was also involved with hiring new personnel, instituting new policies, questioning the effectiveness of old ones, and maintaining open lines of communication with the community it served. This last point became especially important during the eight-day teacher's union strike. Meetings, held at Central Offices, were open to the public, and throughout the year attendance was marked by several teachers, parents, students, and club representatives. Continued decreasing enrollment and an increasing budget cloud the district's future, but with an effective school board these problems are sure to be handled well.

Mr. Coulson was honored as th e State Educator of the Year (1984-85} for Marketing and Distributive Education. Although this award was expected, it was we ll-dese rved; after all, he has led his students to over two hundred local, state, and national awards for excellence. " I've seen my students receive awards for fifteen yea rs, and now I know how they feel." " A business degree w ith emphasis an marketing and management, a long with a good background in typica l business courses is a good preparation for teaching Distributive Education," according to Mr. Co ulson. His several degrees, including a Masters of Business Administration for Rosa ry College (Illinois), leave him well-qualified for the job.

Mrs. Cowan was a member of the school's first graduating class and is currently on staff as a Spanish teacher. Mrs. Cowan received her M.A. from the University of Illinois, where she too k ad van tage of its Junior Year Abroad program. She li ved in France and experienced "the most fabulous year of my life," while earning college credit. She notes th at, when learning a foreign language, " there is no substitute for living with people," and strongly recommends this for others who want to know and understa nd a foreign language. In addition to France, she has visited England, Greece, Israel, and Switzerland. She has no favorite, though, as "choosing a favorite would be like picking between chocolate and va nilla. Every place has something good." Mrs. Cowan added that her trav els are not unique as many teachers in the Foreign Language Department ha ve been to several foreign countries. Mrs. Cowan's international experiences have, no doubt, made an impression on her, but it's obvious " there's no place like home," because she loves her job just as much as any country she has visited.

Nikki Zarefsky, SAGE ' Virginia Ziebarth, Data Processing Laurie Zucker, Speech Mike Deutsch used more than mere textbooks to teach his beginning and advanced Automechanics Classes; he used horse sense. He was not interested in horses as a mode of transportation, but rather as a creature of grace, strength, and beauty. Mr. Deutsch, a long with his wife, owned a ten-acre farm where they trained and raised horses. He also train ed and rode horses for horse trials. " Horse trials are a form of Olypmic Three-Day Eventing as seen in the 1984 Summer Olympics," M r. Deutsch explained. "Eventing," he co ntinued, "consists of three different disciplines Dressage, Cross Coun try Jumping, and Stadium Jumping." His trot into the arena began simply when a friend suggested they go for a horseback-ride, and " From that day on riding has become a passion in my life," said Mr. Deutsch. That can be taken both figuratively and literall y, because he met his wife while riding. Mr. Deutsch has trained with some of the best, including Olympic riders and coaches and members of th e very prestigious Spanish Riding School in Vienna. Back in the class room, Mr. Deutsch tried to instill in his students the positive principles in volved in horse training: "Enormous amounts of discipline, patience, o rganization, and goal orientation." - I ��Rachel Sobe/ �Timothy Ackermans Kevin Adams Darryl Ades Peter Aglipay Jane Ahn John Albaugh Francis Alog Jeff Alter Eliana Alvarez Stephanie Anderson Steven Andrey Vicky Angelos Raymond Arceo Allison Arkin Pamela Arnoux Jed Arrogante Alma Arroyo Alex Ashkinazi Russell Astor Natalie Auer David Avaness Beverly Ayala Conrad Ayala Marvin Baker Bret Balonick Martin Bany Mylene Barcinas Jerome Barnett Due to warnings of their nil value, profits from the sale of elevator passes dropped to a new low this past year.

Collecting baseball cards is something many kids do, "But not everybody has a Reggie Jackson card which is worth $80," said Collender. Brian started collecting baseball cards when he was ten years old and now has a collection valued over $2000. Brian's father brought him the first box of cards, which got him hooked on his collecting. Brian commented, "Baseball card collecting is like investing. You spend a few dollars now and in ten years or so, the card is worth a fortune. Pete Rose's rookie card could have been bought for a nickel in 1964, when Niles North opened, but in 1986 it is worth over $300." Brian hopes that rookie star cards, such as Dwight Gooden's, will appreciate the same way. As the years go on, Brian's investment will grow.

Chris started to practice violin when she was six years o ld. Since her freshman year, Chris has participated in the Concert Orchestra. As a sophomore, she received the honor of being the best violinist in the AllState Orchestra Convention. During the summer of '85, Chris presented her own recital at Northwestern University, acting as the guest soloist. Her accomplishments led her to a greater enjoyment of the violin. "I am happy whenever I play the violin, and I love the sound the violin carries out!" Chris commented. Chris enjoys rock music as well as classical music.

When asked about her favorite sport, she replied, "They're all so different, there is no way to pick just one. Out of all of them gymnastics is the most competitive since it's all up to other individual. In soccer and volleyball, it's all teamwork." What are the future plans of this versatile athlete?

Academically, Nancy may be ahead of some people, otherwise she is always right with us. Currently Nancy is taking four A.P. courses including Chemistry, European History, English, and the Physics A.P. course at Niles West. Nancy considers her best subject to be either math or science, When asked why, she said, "These courses come easier to me than writing an essay." Nancy is involved with other activities beside school work, such as Nation al Honor Society, Medic11l Club, Math Team, Student Leadership,~ and this yea r she is editor of Calliope. Recently Nancy has been in the public's eye concerning her perfect S.A.T. score 600. She was interviewed on Chanof 1 nels 2 and 7 and talked about in many a reas of the country. Nancy rea lly did not prepare much for the test, except to upgrade her vocabulary by looking up words she did not know. When asked how she thought she might do, Nancy replied, "I took the test and thought I did 222 - Seniors okay. I thought maybe I would place somewhere in the ISOO's." Nancy is not sure what is going to happen after high school. She has yet to make a final decision regarding where and what she is going to study.

It is a sy mbol of athletic excellence and school spirit. The recipients possess the qualities of good sportsmanship, dedication, and willpower. At the end of each season each member of a varsity team receives a varsity letter. Senior Leslie Babetch has already received eight letters, an enormous accomplishment for any athlete. It came as no surprise since Leslie has been a yearround athlete. In the fall she was found in the pool working on her swimming techniques; in the winter she was drib- bling a ball in the gym; and in the spring, Leslie was out on the field hitting a softball. Being a gym leader allowed Leslie to pass on her athletic abilities to others. For Leslie, the most important part of participating in school sports is meeting new people and having a lot of fun.

Throughout the days, lockers were decorated, hallways were used, and classrooms were filled with the minds of the future. Finishing the school year meant more than an empty building. It was the conclusion of a meaningful and valuable experience. Friendships were made that would last for years. Knowledge was acquired that would be important to future endeavors. Each of the four classes of students looked forward to the future: Seniors would further their education or decide to support themselves with a career: Ju. niors anticipated a final year of high school during which they would be the leaders: Sophomores, half way into their high school experience enjoyed the prospect of becoming an upper classman: Freshmen dreamt about the excitement of three more years at Niles North. 1985-86 school year had ended. The closing of the academic year was not totally an ending, it was a start, the beginning of the future. Adam Stone Closing -- ---------- - �C1osing - 259 �Again, another school yea r had passed. Many events have taken place. The plays, of a who-dunnit to the first ever Frosh/ Soph play, the Gong Show, the Toga Dance, the eight day Teacher's Union Strike, and the victory at the homecoming game. To observe and record these activities was the job of the 1986 Saga staff. As editor, many responsibilities were placed upon me. The ever present worry over the next dealine, whether or not pictures had been scheduled and taken, keeping track of all the pages that were assigned to the staff were all constant sources of anxiety. But I was not alone with these concerns. With the support of the staff, we made it possible to document all the events and return it to our fellow classmates in the form of the 1986 yea rbook. At the beginning of the year, the staff learned that we would be working entirely on computers for the production of the 1986 Saga. This meant that everyone would have the added responsibilit y of maintaining and working with their own work disk, getting used to operate the Josten 's MicroGraphix Series Word Processor Program and entering all their pages and information on a final data disk. Gone were the simple days of the typewriter! There was a special closeness among the staff this year. It truly contributed to developing and bringing out the theme of "Up-Close and Personal." Mr. Dennis Grabowski, our advisor, I want to thank you for supporting my decisions, even when they weren't exactly what you had in mind for the book, and for the many suggestions you gave to make this yearbook special. You stood behind me and gave me the courage to handle a production as big as this. Thanks for being a real friend. Ms. Ellen Peirce, thank you for slugging it out with the computer and winning. You were a real help with completing the underclass section of the book. Mr. Dennis Eder, thank you for checking and rechecking to make sure that our decisions were exactly what we wanted. Thank you for your patience. Cindy Dikeman, our fearless computer editor, you always had the answer to our many "computerized" questions. Your spending many hours burning up the "800" hotline to Josten's Micro-Graphix Computer Center for answers to ou r complex questions is greatly appreciated. Thanks also goes to William Sera, Dan Sera, Belinda San Juan, Dennis Sanchez and Cyndi Agemura. You guys were always there when something needed to be worked on, o r when we needed to get pages off to the compan y. Thanks for all your hard work afterschool. To the rest of the staff, thanks for helping to make "Up-Close and Personal" a reality. To the student body, remember: that out of chaos comes a yearbook, and that's the truth! I hope you enjoy and appreciate the 1986 Saga for many years to come.

And Why? "Ronald Reagan, for he swept to victory in the election in 1984 with a supposed mandate. The country has also become very conservative thanks to his views. This change in view will have great effect upon us for years to come." senior Michael Goroff "Geraldine Ferraro, because of her, the politics in the 1980's will be changed. The concept of a woman or any other minority will be able to hold the highest office of the land." junior Howard Ankin "Indira Gandhi, late Prime Minister of India, influenced the United States, mostly in her relations with Russia. For this reason, she bought numerous weapons from Moscow, bringing India close with Russian troops. During this time India was slowly moving away from the U.S. Indira Gandhi helped influence this change in policy and due to this she influenced world events." senior Sharon Sylan "Margart Thatcher, Prime Minister of Britian. She is the leader of a very powerful and influencial nation. She proved herself many times and received the nick name of the Iron Lady." senior Vicky Kalogri1 Student Life - 11 �Question: In your opinion, who is the most influential person in the 1980's, and why? "Ronald Reagan. since during the course of his first term in office. Reagan has established a very unique economic and foreign policy. He has begun to set the course for new government policies that will last well into the twenty-first century." sophomore Joseph Weiss " Ronald Reagan, the reasons for this are varied and many. The first is the fact that Reagan has increased the power of his office to the extent where he can wage war without the consent of the people. Second, he has followed an unwritten policy of covert aggression toward foreign governments making these countries and the region in which they are located unstable." senior Leonard Becker "Dr. Carl Sagan because not only does he impress one as being knowledgeable in the field of science, but also inspires one with his moralistic and philosophical viewpoints of life." junior Andrea Brostoff "Pope John Paul II, he has an enormous multitude of followers all over the world to both Catholics and non-Catholics who look to him for guidance and faith." sophomore. Cheryl Cohn "The computer. Due to recent technology. the computer has enabled us to do things faster, easier, and more efficiently. 1984 came and past, and as Orwell predicted, the computer has now taken over not only human life, but our total existence." junior Adam Stone �Hangouts Students' Favorite Places During non school hours, North students hang out at favorite places. Old Orchard shopping mall is a popular spot at lunchtime as well as on Saturday afternoon. A familiar face can be found among the rows of books at Kroch's or in line at Boudin's. Those that have cars race over to Mage's or Poochies for "real food" on their lunch hours. Saturday nights Vikings are out on the town. Old Orchard Theatre is a good old standby when there isn't a game or dance at school. Students ready for college life can be found mingling with Northwestern students on the rocks at the beach or at a Greek house party. For a evening snack, many students meet at JK Sweets or Swenson's.

At eight o'clock each morning North students tune into the daily PA anouncements. For some students these are a very important ten minutes because it gives them a last chance to study or finish up their homework while for others it is a great opportunity to catch a few 'Z's' or to soqialize. Attendence is taken during AAA and that means lockout and line at the dean's office for a number of stu- 14 - Trivia 1984 dents. Lunch hour brings a crowded cafeteria. There is a constant rush of hungry teens from 11 :00 to 1:30. The cafeteria becomes a social gathering place during these hours as those that are hungry wait in long lines while others mingle at their usual tables. The Senior varsity teams have their own tables In the East cafeteria while many of the band members eat on the west side. Anyone that is looking for some company during the day can always find student life in the cafeteria. �Trivia 1984 1. Who broke Jim Browns NFL career rushing yards record? • • • ENTERTAl NM ENT: 2.

No matter what the activity may be, a club meeting. play rehearsal, or band practice, the students are participating. and most important, getting involved. Offered a wide variety of activities to choose from, students can join the clubs that most appeal to their interests. and also choose the ones that help them express themselves. Different activities range from learning and creating, to competing in tournaments. With this wide choice, the Activities Program includes most of the student body. Amidst all the enthusiasm of JOining clubs. some students join a club because their friends 101ned it. As a result, many find that the club holds an interest for them. This interest may grow, and the activity becomes something that they really want to do, and be involved in. Activities aren't only a place where they can exchange ideas or expand their knowledge, but also a time when they can meet new people, make new friends. or socialize with those they already know. This is especially helpful for freshmen and new students. The clubs are also time fillers. Most students don't do their homework right after school, and a club then becomes a good time filler for that unoccupied time. The atmosphere in a club is more relaxed. The students still learn, but the pressure of the school day is gone. The students can contribute to a group, and in doing so. may not only improve the school, but also themselves. -Ingrid Schensema Activities - 17 - �Getting opinions from other staff members was common. Ingrid Schensema critiques Adam Stone's layout. (Top) The organization of the layout 1s very important.

Elizabeth Arroyave goes over the layout. edication Brings Fulfillment By March the Saga Staff had completed the last deadline for the 1984-85 yearbook. While every member of the staff waited anxiously for the arrival of the publication, their work wasn't done. They started on the organization and theme for the next yearbook. Long hours of dedication and hard work were put into every layout. Writing assignments and interviews were done at the beginning of the year to improve the students writing ability. Pictures were taken, selected, cropped and matched with captions. Interviews and research was done to develop the body of the copy work. After sending the layouts to the Josten company and receiving the proofs, they were checked to make sure that everything was done correctly. But most of all, deadlines had to be met. After the staff had developed the layouts, Gary Dubin, the chief-in-editor, and Mr. Grabowski , the advi sor, checked and rechecked every page. On top of doing this, they both assisted the staff by cri tiqueing and supervising their work. The 21st edition included fresh ideas and additions because of the experience of new staff members. More color was used in the publication and a special theme was chosen to unify the book. The Saga members worked towards producing a book that the student body would appreciate and enjoy.

The paper, written by the Newspaper Production class, was produced every two weeks, keeping the staff on their toes. The stories were written, copy edited, proof-read, type-set by the printer, pasted on layout sheets, and then printed. Because of the hard work that went into the paper, the staff was awarded. The paper was named a Columbia Scholastic Press Association Medalist in 1984, adding another award to the already large collection of awards.

Randy Oyler, the editor-in-chief, is looking forward to this year's special twentieth anniversary edition. "Calliope is an excellent showcase for students to display their literary and artistic talents," Randy commented. The Art Club, in its second year, is sponsored by Ms. Judi Miller. Reed Adler, the 1984-85 clu b president, stated that the club is presently working on a mural which will be placed in the East 22 - Cafeteria. " The Art Club provides students with a creative outlet for expressing ideas through projects not available in the classroom," explained Reed. The Forensics Team competed in speech tournaments in which individuals spoke in different styles. Sponsor, Mr. Wolf, and coach, Ms. Kennedy, helped the students improve their speech techniques. "This team allows students to gain knowledge of world affairs, it also provides opportunities for students to improve their speaking abilities and master rhetoric and the command of the english language," stated Jack Hsu. - Jeremy Boshes A member of Art Club checking over her supplies.

The National Honor Society achieved this through its traditional in-school tutoring system on a student-to-student basis. The tutoring committee was chaired by Society member Adam Lashinsky. During the holiday season some members of the group visited children wards at local hospitals bringing small gifts and especially high spirits. After the project senior Rosy Aronson commented, "I really think the chi ldren enjoyed it. One even said, 'This is so fun!' That made our day." The Honor Society also worked with the Response Center to develop and sponsor workshops and focus groups. They formed a panel which spoke and answered questions of the faculty in March. This helped both the students and 24 - the faculty to understand each other and the stress that is felt from both sides. The Student Congress helped a charity through its school cause committee. According to tradition the Congress raised money through a silent in-school auction. This year however, seniors Faryl Simon and Darcy Frank organized a live auction which was held on a Saturday morning and opened to the community. The merchandise was donated by communi ty businesses and more money was raised than in previous years. Elected Congress officers also showed concern within the school as members of EPAC and PTSA. EPAC representative Aaron Weiss stated, "The committee is a direct link between the students and the school board. The reps in the group -parents, teachers, and studentsconsider each other as equals and the students are fairly represented." -Darcy Frank Student Congress - National Honor Society The Congress met in C 100 every Thursday after school.

Both of the clubs, sponsored by Mary Murphy, involved leadership and volunteer skills for the benefit of others. This year Mrs. Murphy worked with two assistants; Bob Shein in and Al Ross. They came to all the meetings with advise and new ideas for the members. Project Lead began its year with an Orientation Unlimited. The leaders volunteered their time over the summer to plan and organize this event. The Project Leaders also held a car wash, which helped to raise money for the Response Center. The members port rayed their devotion and efforts in several different areas in order to serve their community. Student Leadership, however, dealt 28 - only with the students inside of the school. There were weekly meetings which consisted of planning of the leadership groups and a great number of activities. These activities helped the future leaders get to know each other, learn how to cope with their own problems a little better, become good listeners, and just simply how to relax. A great number of ideas were gotten from a workshop which was held at Niles East in late October. " Besides learning new techniques, I always loved just opening up to the group and finding out that I wasn't the only one with a certa in problem," commented one of the members. After several meetings, the leaders paired up and recruited students for the groups. The leaders shared their techniques and experiences with their groups.

(Bottom) s quad Promotes Spirit This year was a great year to be a Cheerleader. The Varsity Cheerleaders helped lead the Football Team to an over five hundred season. In addition they added to the Varsity Basket ball Team's drive to its first conference Championship. "We want to get the fans involved and excited with the team," said Senior Amy Kohn. "We have a great time, but it's hard work," added Jill Kushnir. To spite how it really is, the crowds would never know it by going to games. The squad always gives everything they 've got and makes it look great. " Being at all the games isn't enough, we have to get the fans and the team going. " explained Junior Terrie Kloiber. Spending hours on routines is a common th ing to the girls. " It's part of our responsibility. We owe it to the school," commented Senior Lisa Lebovitz. The squad, made up of Seniors and Juniors works after school, during the reg- 30 - ular year and during the summer months as well. By attending clinics and away games is how they get ideas for new cheers and routines. Many cheers are modified or rearra nged and some are developed from inspiration of other squads. The Varsity Cheerleaders have a working relationship with the Vikettes, the Pep Band, and all the other cheerleaders in the Conference. At each basketball halftime. the Viking Cheerleaders, perform a cheer together. This is an important display of sportsmanship and camaraderie among all the cheerleaders and teams. The girls felt that the season was positive. Students were more enthused, attendence was up at the games and the teams felt good. Amy Kohn said, '' I hope we had something to do with that.

Yes, you probably guess it right . The game would not be the same without them. " Lets go Vikings, we're gonna fight, we're gonna win this game tonight!" was just part of a cheer performed at football and basketball games by the sophomore cheerleading squad. Whether the team was winning or losing, the cheerleaders were there to keep the spirit high and were striving to make Northi fans respond with spirit and en thusiasm as well. The support given by the cheerleaders encouraged Niles North teams onto victory. The girls worked very hard throughout the year. In order to have everything precise and exact as a complete squad, long hours of practice were spent on each routine performed by the cheerleaders. Their hard work gave them valuable experience and improved the cheers. The cheerleaders had a very big responsibility to the school as well as the team. Fortunately, they enjoyed the opportunity to meet new friends, while having a good time. " Cheerleading was fun, because it enabled me to meet new people while being a part of the school sociably, " commented Lesli Rubenstein . The Pre-Varsity Cheerleaders added a lot of spirit and energy to home games this year.

Cheerleading in high school was a new experience to most of these girls. For the first time in their lives, the Freshman Cheerleaders participated in high school events. The girls' responsibilities were to promote school spirit and involve the freshman class in cheering for the Vikings. The Freshman Cheerleaders attended all athletic events, at home and away, and acted as leaders in setting a good example in regard to proper school spirit and good sportsmanship. The Freshman Cheerleaders worked very hard throughout the year. After school, they practiced their new mounts and cheers. In order to earn money for camp and awards, they sold candy, popcorn , and pop.

One can find them sweating it out three times a week after school or performing at the half time shows at the football and basketba ll games. Although each routine lasts only a brief two or three minutes, many hours are spent in preparation fo r their performances. This years squad consists of 28 members, 14 seniors, 8 juniors, and 6 sophomores, the largest squad ever! With such a big squad organizat ion was not easy. Over the summer the girls attended a four day pom-pon camp in Rockford Illinois. They competed against 13 schools and finished with the highest honors, including a first place in all-around competition. "Going through camp together made everyone feel as if they really belonged. Whether they had been on the squad for years or if this was their first we performed together great," stated co-captain Chris Pardel. Being a Vikette is not as easy as it looks. Many girls have to give up other activities such as work, other sports, or just hanging around with friends. A lot of credit is due to their sponser, Mary Maday Vernon who helped make things a lot easier.

The concession stand which is run during school hours and at all sporting events is one of their biggest contributions. All profits are donated to different clubs and activities with the school. Donkey Basketball was sponsored by them too, which brought in a good amount of money and lots of fun. The PTSA is a concerned group which meets to discuss school related and community issues. PTSA serves many functions during the school year such as running the concession stand at all home football games.

The captain of the team was Caroline Connelly. The co-capta in was Veronica Torres and the secretary was Sherri Lazer. When both of the clubs weren 't helping in meets, they were selling things to raise money. The money that the Wreselettes raises was to pay for T-shirts for the wreselers and for their banquete.

During their sophomore and junior years, these young athletes had the chance to learn the skills important in becoming good leaders. The students practiced planning an agenda and then were put in charge of teaching a class for a day. After the two year training the apprentices were allowed to assist the physical education teachers for the entire year. The leaders program was open to students who showed an interest in physical education, excellence in physical skills, and displayed leadership qualities. These aspiring leaders carried heavy responsibilities. They were in charge of warm up excercises, equipment, demonstrations, setting up tournaments, and spotting their pupils during difficult moves.

"The main purpose of the Medical Club was to try to present the various careers of the medical field to the club members," stated club president Jeffrey Mark. Sponsor Mr. Anderson, along with a group total of fifty members met once every two weeks on Friday. Besides having the club officers, the members were divided into four committees. Each one dealt with the different club functions of fund raising, tour arrangements, new member promotion, and activities/ programs. Most students who joined the club were headed for a medical career.

This year's club was busy. Besides a film strip, a speaker, and a visit to North Park College, tours were also included in the club's activity. They took tours to Glenbrook Hospital and the Swedish Covenant Hospital, and sent medical aid to the Ethiopians, and other needy countries, through fundraising. The International Club, which was sponsored by Mr. Thomas and Mr. Harper, was a means to promote more understanding and sharing of culture, cuisine, and people of foreign lands. " This club is a learning experience, and is intended for both foreign and American students. " stated Mr. Thomas. As the International Club entered its fourth year, it took part in many activities. The biggest of these was the collection for the Ethiopi- Medical Club - - - - ---- - - - - an Relief Fund.

But to some, Friday was not only the last day of hearing the tone sound, but also the day when the members of the Creative Cooking Club and the Current Events Club would hold their week ly meetings. The Creative Cooking Club, which was sponsored by Mrs. Mary Ann McElfresh, allowed students to try their hand at cooking. The- core of about sixteen students who made up the club were a dedicated group. " They showed me that they were rea lly interested in cooking _aod serious about the club," stated Mrs. McElfresh. Meeting almost every Friday at 3: 15 gave them plenty of time to cook, althoug h many stayed past the usual six p.m. finishing time. The dishes prepared ranged from simple candies and cookies to cornish hens and full course dinners. To cover the cost of ingredients, mem- - 56 - bers paid a fee of one dollar each per meeting. The students not only cooked for themselves, but also for school board meetings, open house, and the activities fair. Also on Fridays after school, Mr. Richard Miya, sponsor of the Current Events Club, hosted a fast paced game. The game was about current events, and students could go to the meetings and test their knowledge about world events. Members of the club were divided into teams and then competed to be the first to answer the questions. Questions were made up from such categories as national and international affairs, politics, economics, war and peace, social problems, science, and sports. Students who participated in the club, found it to be a stimulating experience, and a test of their knowledge. They learned about the structure of the government, skills in answering questions, and competitive game playing.

They were Computer Club, Chess Club, and Math Club. The Computer Club is made up of a new generation of people who have realized the immense possibilities and capabilities of the computer. This year has witnessed an explosive growth of interest in the field of computer science. Members of the Computer Club have developed programming techniques through the use of recreational games and practical applications of computer software. Club meetings gave members the opportunity to gather information about computers and computer related careers. The Computer Club is sponsored by Mr. George Pryjma. The Chess Club was designed for the student who enjoyed the game and was interested in meeting others who shared the interest. The chess team com- 60 - peted against other high school clubs and was a member of the North Shore Chess League. Mr. Frank Cardulla sponsored the club and assisted its members in learning to play chess and challenged their skills as chess expertise in playing the game. The Math Club, under the direction of Mr. Jerry Smith, was made up of a group of students who are highly skilled math students. These students tested their math skills against clubs from other high schools and each other. The math team, which was made up of club members, participated in the North Suburban Math League. League meets pitted the talented math minds from Niles North against students from nine area schools. At meetings, members practiced with the math team and explored different concepts of math not normaily taught in high school math cou rses. -Jamie Kwan (ABOVE) Members ol the Chess Club explained to interested students about how to play chess.

" I feel that each year, we are broadening our activities and trying to expose the students more to the Hispanic Culture." commented Ms. Park. Originally formed at Niles East, the Environmental club moved to Niles North seven years ago taking the place of the Green Thumb club. The sponser of the club Mr. Kral DeJonge had stayed with the club throughout its existance at Niles North. Mr. DeJonge's stated purpose for the club was to make students more aware of the growing and dying environment all around. Another purpose was to get students involved in conservation projects. This year the staff at Niles North also participated in making students more aware by giving talks about an area known to them.

As well as the school song, many other selections were performed throughout the season. Director of Bands Elton Eisele said, " I was excited about the program this yea r." " I was more familiar with the kids and the school," he continued. Eisele, in his second year as Band Director brought with him a fresh and optomistic attitude to the band program. With the new year, new events were sponsored. The Marching Band held it's first annual Marching Band Festival and Band raffle to raise money for the band's spring tour to Orlando, Florida. Invited to the festival were all marching bands in the North Suburban Confrence. The Marching Band is made up of all four grade levels students from the concert and symphonic bands. In addi tion to the band, 1984-85 marked the second year of the Northern Lights flag team, also under the direction of Mr. Eisele. The flag team added a certain contrast to the halftime shows, and are expected to become an award winning team in the years to come.

B and Fest-------------~ The annual May Festival of Bands this year, directed by Elton Eisele, was an "earful!." the concert was kicked off by the Jazz Band which played a variety of up beat jazz charts. The Jazz Band was followed by the Concert Band. They began with an English piece entitled "Three Songs from Sussex" and ended with a strong overture cal ed ''Centurion''. After a brief intermission, the Symphonic Band presented the remainder of the show. This would be the last official performance for the senior members of the band. Halfway through the show the senior band members each went up to the front of the stage to say goodbye to Mr. Eisele as he presented them each with their band pins. Soon, fall had arrived once more and juniors were now seniors. They were to be the new outstanding members of the band. Of course, there were new freshmen as well.

The spring tour was planned early. The band would fly to Orlando, Florida and participate in a nation band competition. This included all bands. The Jazz Band, Symphonic Band, Concert Band and Marching Band would all perform. The Concert Band would play a selection called Festive for the contest and two others. The Symphonic Band's selections were Commando March, Variations on a Korean Folk Song and Flight. Flight, a newly written piece, made it's Illinois debut in March with the Niles North Symphonic Band performing. The Jazz Band would compete with a number of selections. The Marching Band would not compete, but would perform at Walt Disney World's Epcot Center. Throughout the year, many new ideas and events were constructed and planned.

The string section was especially strong. Thirty three students made up the string section and a total of fifty five students comprised the entire orchestra. This year a number of very talented students were members of the orchestra. Six students were selected for the AllState Orchestra Convention in Peoria Illinois. Two of these musicians were chosen as " Outstanding students in their divisions." Chris Choi was selected as the outstanding student in the first violin section and A.J. Bautiata received the honor from the second violin section. Mr. Sklar, the orchestra conductor, was very proud of these stu dents and commented, " It was the highest honor to be achieved in the All-State Orchestra." This year the orchestra auditioned to compete in an international contest in Orlando Florida in the Chamber Orchestra Division. The students raised money during the year by selling candy and cookies, and sponsered an orchestra dinner concert at Niles North. Mr. Sklar stated that the goal for the year was " To develop a strong sense of identity and pride in the orchestra by student involve ment in the musical and fundraising activities.''

Underclassman dominated the Choral Union, a choir whic h combined male and female voices. Advanced choral students were included in the Chamber Choir. Chamber Choir was a group of selected students. Each year the choruses participated in seasonal festivals. Music sung by the choruses ranges from classical tunes of the eighteenth century to arrangements of popular songs being sung now. Students in both choruses were taught to read, and understand music. Choir was a class, and a learning experience. Whether a student was in Choral Union or 70 - Chamber Choir, hard work was needed in order to sing a song "perfectly". According to most of the members of the choruses, being in choral groups has its good and bad parts. The bad part was having to rehearse parts of songs until they were perfect. However, the good part was the reward, after the concert, of knowing that you had done a great job. Chorus members enjoyed the chance to sing in the North Suburban Choral Festival. This all-day event brought together ten north suburban high schools to form one giant chorus. Throughout the day, students were separated into groups for sectional rehearsal. In the evening, the combined choruses presented a concert. -Jamie Kwan (ABOVE) Lena Akel ian and Carolyn Schubert sing their pitches Chamber Choir - Choral Union - - - - - -- - - - - - - �C W) Nate Weiss takes a moment, to flash a smile.

Involvement in the Theater Department varies from person to person. Acting, singing, and dancing, to applying makeup, costuming, painting, lighting, construction and directing. All of these things are important in putting on a good and successful show. While the actors and actresses are busy working hard at rehearsals, the tech. crew is busy working on the set; the customers are busy working on the costumes; and the ticket and publicity committees are wo rking hard to bring in the students and the public as an audience. The shows put on by the Niles North Theater Department include ch ildrens shows, Norsecapades, musicals, and dramas. "I feel that the Theater Department is important because it gives students the opportunity to find out if they want to be an actor or actress, and have fun in the process," stated Jerry Profit.

The excitement lasted through the night as many attended the Homecoming dance and enjoyed themselves "Under the Big Top." Throughout the year. there were many chances for students to show their acting abilities. The first play presented was ''The Childrens Show.'· The cast ranged from freshmen to seniors and the audience was of all ages. Alter the Childrens Show. the talk was of Norsescapades. This was a chance for theatre and nontheatre students, who weren't just interested in drama, to perform in different areas. These areas included singing, dancing. satirical skits, and specialty acts. For the students who liked to dance, or just liked to watch others dance, Auroris was presented. Many talented performers were involved in the show, while others watched, delighted to see friends and peers on the stage. Students looked forward to Junior / Senior Prom as an evening of elegant wear, first class dining. and wonderful company. which left them with many happy memories.

Spirits At An All Time High With the theme "Cage The Hawks" . Homecoming 1984 promised to be a blast. Like all traditional homecomings, the occasion kicked off with a Spirit Week to get the student body interested in the celebration. The festivities for the week started on Tuesday with Hawaiian Beach Day. Wednesday was Nerd Day. Thursday was Blues Brother / Toga Day and Friday was Purple And White Day. For the first t wo days, not many people dressed up, but as the week came to an end, more and more people got into the spirit of things and participated. By Friday, the energy and spirit which had been brewing all week came to a peak. Friday was the day of the Pep Assembly. Viking spirit could be seen and felt everywhere. The chee rleaders led the crowds of excited students. Even the bad weather did not det er the kids from showing their Viking spirit. The Pep Assembly included the introduction of the Homecoming Committee and the awards for the football players. Pete Anderson won two awards, one for the cutest baby photograph and the other for " Player most likely to become a Chicago Bear" . After the awards the cheerleaders were introduced before doing their routines. The Vikettes also did two rout ines. One used a song from the movie "Revenge of The Nerds" (the Vikettes were dressed up as nerds for this song) and the other routine was done to the song "On The Dark Side." Half way through the song, the music quit but the Vikettes didn't. They continued to perform without the music. The Homecoming Court was then announced and Homecoming Queen Diane Stahlberg was crowned. This ended the Pep Assembly, but the Viking spirit didn't diminish. It carried over to Saturday, the day of the parade, the alumni brunch, the football games. and the dance. The parade started off a day that would have been perfect if the weather had not been dreary. Floats, horse-drawn buggies, clowns, cheerleaders in cars, and the Niles North Marching Band all were part of the parade. Later in the day, the football games against North Chicago were played. The freshman team was not able to play because North Chicago High School did not have a freshman team. The sophomore team played a great game and won with a score of 28 to 6. The Varsity Team toppled their North Chicago opponent with a victorious 35 to 12 score. Homecoming 1984 "caged the Hawks."

Even though the weather was wet, the extravagant clothing was displayed on May 25th at the 1984 Prom " We' ve Got Tonight." The theme was elected by the students and was chosen unanimously from all the other suggested themes. 1930's art deco scenery was used to decorate the ballroom of the Mart Plaza Hotel.

Taking advantage of this time some people mingled while others took their formal pictures. Black and white balloons were surrounding the tables and silverish sparkles over the table cloth made everything dazzle. Further into the evening the prom committee gave their speech.

A Time To Move On Class Of '84 Celebrates Past, Present, Future Thoughts and hopes for new beginnings were inside the heads of the graduting class of 1984 on Sunday, June 3rd. It was the final day of the countdown that had begun months before. The graduates laughed together as they thought back to their freshman days when the seniors were "so old and mature." Reflecting on this image, they now stood in their places as high school graduates looking forward to the future. Some were looking to college careers and new beginnings but many were looking only to the future of the next few days. Senior Elaine Bauer commented, " After working towards graduation for four years, I'm sure that everyone will agree that it is the weekend of our lives!" The traditional speeches The smiles on their faces spoke for themselves as graduates Elaina GroHman, Scott Graanapan, and Alllaon Andaraon embraced.

Valedictorians, Steve Lewis and Debbie Veis, as well as, Senior Class President, Heidi Perlow, said their last farewells to their classmates. It was also the last time Mr. George Baptist appeared as a member of the Niles North faculty as he retired at the end of the 1983-1984 school year. As each name was called for the students to receive their diplomas, nervous energy electrified throughout the class. The long list finally came to an end and suddenly, without hesitation, a blurr of purple and white caps were tossed towards the sun.

The team members have shown their dedication by attending practices and games on a regular basis. The support and cooperation of the individuals helping each other was apparent at sports events. The experienced team members helped during practices and during games by giving encouragement and by showing the inexperienced team members what they were doing wrong or made suggestions for improvement. Team members encouraged each other during a game by cheering each other on and giving moral support when they lost or didn't ex- ecute a play correctly. The major lessons learned by all team members were discipline, committment, and pride. They were disciplined by attendance. They learned respect for their teammates, opposing teams, and coaches. The Niles North teams represent good sportsmanship at all competitions by not arguing over calls, fighting with opposing teams, and treating their teammates and coaches with respect. The Niles North community is proud of their sports teams. Jeremy Boshes Sports - 99 - �Reaching for the Viking pitch, Junior backup catcher John Douvria positions his glove with the ball.

The 1984 Frosh-Soph baseball season went well for the members of all three teams. The Sophomore Team, coached by Mitch Stewart finished with a season record of 13 wins, 8 losses, and 2 ties. Most Valuable Player Rob Powers gave his team's excellent hitting and base running credit for the many wins. The tremendous amount of spirit the Sophomore MVP players had helped, too. As for the losses, Powers stated that the defense needed improvement. He partially blamed the poor condition of their field for the many errors made. All in all, Rob concluded, "We had a very good season." The Freshman 'A' Team was just as successful, as the Sophomore Tearn was. The Viking Freshman finished their season with a record of 12 wins, 9 losses. They came in second place. 'A' Team coach Burt Weinberg commented, "I was happx_ with the season, we had a good group of guys." M.V.P. Dave Schultz led his team in hitting with a .600 batting average. The team had nine other .300 batters by the end of the season. The defense was also very good. Pitchers Tony Tichy and Brian Lundeen assisted their team in its victories. Tichy pitched a no-hitter, a feat rarely accomplished by Freshman pitchers. Robert Po wers The Frosh 'B' Team, Coached by Paul Giambelula, ended the season with a 8 win, 9 loss record. Outfielder Jonathan Pardys said, "We could have done better." The team's defense was their best aspect, where pitchers Steve Chalen and Dan Peitrich excelled. The lack of hitting ability was accountable tor their losses. The season was not a totally successful one, but at least, Pardys quoted, "We had fun."

What does the term, school, mean to them? According to some students, school can be defined as a place to study. to achieve. to prepare. to grow, and to have fun. To others, school can be a tough place or sometimes exhilarating. School can be an opportunity for students to develop their individualities. Despite the various views of school, there is a common idea, school is, a place of discovery, knowledge, and challenge. Niles North is remarkable for having a large number of courses which provide flexibility for each student. From a long list of courses, students designed programs suited to their individual interests. They chose a broad framework of education from art classes to science courses. Most of the North students have very well-planned, balanced four years of study which consist of English, science. mathematics. social studies, foreign languages, and liberal arts. Coupled with a rich and varied intellectual experience. a student can find solid preparation for future studies. Besides education and students, faculty is another important element in the school community. The quality of Niles North's academic programs is complemented by the quality of its faculty, whose members are involved in both teaching and helping students. This is an important advantage for students. Having instructors who are experts in their subject areas, students gain deeper insight through their learning. -Jamie Kwan Academics - 157 - , �Gail Jones thinks intensely about her assignment.

There are two sections that students are graded on, Honor Roll grade point average and cumulative weighted grade point average. Courses are weighted according to difficulty, from one (the lowest) to five (the highest). The higher the weighted course is, the more the grade counts. The honor roll grade point average is calculated on a fou r point system and unweighted grades. This average equals the grade point totals divided by the sum of attempted credits. The honor roll is selected on the basis of semester grades only. The cumulative weighted -rade point average uses the weighted grades chart, which gives students more credit for the more difficult courses they take. After a student has completed five semesters of classes, certain courses are excluded from the grade point average computation. Brian Jacobs Mr. Coul•on grades the daily assignments. While in class, Natalie Dinicola follows along with the discussion. Hong Yim gives a speech to the class.

APP was short for the Advanced Placement Program. These courses used sophisticated materials to challenge students minds. The program, sponsored by the College Board, was based on the idea that many students could complete college level studies in high school. The coordinator for APP testing at Niles North was Judy Segal. APP courses included almost every subject area of the curriculum. By taking APP courses students gained experience in college level course work, learned to take test given by the College Tests Board, and received college credit for their APP courses. Students who received a th ree or higher on the test taken in May were given college credit. The more APP courses taken and exams passed the more money a student ct'fuld save by not having to take the course in college. The students involved in the APP program were recommened by their teachers. Being informed about various colleges was important to many seniors. The college resource center provided valueable information about colleges and career choices. Conveniently located in the Guidance office, the college resource center was financed by the School Board and organized by the Student Services Department. The room has college catalogs, from schools around the country. Students could also find information about financial aid, summer programs, vocational and technical schools and the Armed Services. The college resource center has been in existanced for two years. It contained two information retrieval aids. One resource was a computer that would produce a computer check on a college, giving the college costs and necessary entrance requirements. The second device was a laser disk video machine that showed ten to fifteen minute flicks of a college. This gave students a closeup view of a college. -Cindy Dikeman (left) Deciding it is time to start thinking about attending college a student may go to the College Resource Cen ter to look up some colleges as this student decided to do.

Many people know very little about the reading center at Niles North. From its name, one may think that it's just another resource center like the science or foreign language resource center. Yet there is much more here than meets the eye. In reality, the reading center is really a class. The instructor, Mrs. Willerman, offers a specially designed reading program to any student who wishes to improve his or her reading skills. Improving vocabulary, building comprehension, and learning to refine study skills are just some of the many improvements which the students in this course strive for. -Dennis Sanchez Laura AIH carefully chooses a book tor her own reading pleasure.

Backpacks stuffed full are a common sight when the three o'clock tone rings. As students load the buses complaints about difficult assignments, too many books and too little time, and disastrous tests are heard quite frequently. On the other hand, good grades are bragged about, plans to study in groups that night are made, and funny classroom incidents are reenacted for friends. Some are looking forward to dissecting a fetal pig in biology the next day while others anticipate a field trip to the Botanic Gardens. The type of homework students do varies from course to course. Literature courses bring chapters of the classics to be read each night while spanish classes entail lists and lists of new vocabulary words to be memorized. Home economic classes mean sewing patterns to be designed while yearbook class brings layouts and the writing of copy as homework assignments. Creative writing classes lead the student on a venture through his own private journal each day while being a member of the band finds the student musician carrying his instrument home at night to work on a new overture and perhaps the minor scales. Whatever the assignment may be the student learns to organize his time efficiently, and he also gains a sense of responsebility- an important part of growing up. -Darcy Frank ..

The library is always open during school hours and many students go there to study quietly. However, connected to the main rooms of the Learning Materials Center is the fiction room where up-to-date magazines are available and where students can recline among cush ions on the floor to relax. The areas with stone benches near the main entrances are often used as quiet study places during students' free time, but one can also find them being used as gathering places for lively chatter when the pay phones are in use. The cafeteria is a good place to sit back and unwind with friends but there are those students who prefer to study while they eat. Many block out the noisy conversations around them and keep their heads in a book. Resource centers are another quiet place to study but the greatest advantage of the two hundred rooms is that tutoring is always available there. A teacher in the field is on call to help students at any time during the school day. Aside from the learning that ta kes place between eight and three each day teachers make themselves available to students that need extra attention after school. This helps the students to achieve academic success.

They are also involved with students and parents in clubs, on sports teams they host open house visitation, attend banquets, direct plays, advise class boards, and do many other things. The administrators are not here only from 8A.M. to 3P.M. Most of them are here long before and long after. Their job is not only to make decisions, but to know and relate to the students. During the 1984-85 school year, video tapes about how to get the most out of classroom time, and how to make that time useful, were shown to the teaching staff. "I think that these video tapes have helped greatly in improving the classroom," stated Dr. Hosler. Some teachers are still students. They attend classes at night in order to earn a higher degree, or expand their knowledge in certain subject areas. In the end, this benefits the student because they have more to offer them. Facu lty - 173 - �School Administration Ref in es Policies .' '' This year the administration of Niles North made two very significant improvements. One was the formation of a new attendance policy and the other was the addition of a seminar in study skills for incoming freshmen. Incoming freshmen were not aware of the new attendance policy but were affected by it. A student used to be able to have three unexcused absences from a class before he would be assigned to a day in the Behavioral Adjustment center. Currently, a student will receive a Saturday B.A.C. assignment after the second unexcused absence. This change in the attendance policy has improved the daily attendance at Niles North. This year each freshmen was taken out of his study hall about 14 times to attend a seminar in study skills.

It was a great chance for freshmen to sharpen their study skills and start on the road to academic success. The administration of Niles North made important and needed changes. These improvements helped the students to have a beneficial and successful school year. As Dr. Galen Hosler stated "I believe our new freshmen are bright, motivated young people who will use the skills they learned to their best advantage. Also, after looking over the data collected on class attendance, it is obvious that the new attendance policy is working and has resulted in a significant improvement in class attendance."

Robinson an active member of the Bar Association had opportunities to meet many famous political figures which included: Tip O'Neal, the late Mayor Daley, Governor Thompson, and Jimmy Carter. Robinson commented that "Finding out that a case that I've been working on for months get settled out of court is a pain.

Since his teaching career began twenty-three years ago, he has taught all levels of chemistry. Cardulla has attended and lectured at many science conventions and has been instrumental in writing and grading national chemistry exams. He has published several articles in national chemistry magazines on aspects of chemistry and his teaching methods. Cardulla's students have won top awards in local and national chemistry competitions. Cardulla's AP students have made Mies North famous across the midwest for high scores on the AP exam. Students attribute their success to Cardulla's teaching methods, which give the students a fundamental understanding of concepts, rather than just memorization of formulas. In addition to his teaching activities, Cardulla sponsors the Niles North Chess Club. As time permits, he also enjoys playing piano and golfing. His peers in the field of chemistry have cited him as one of the nation's foremost chemistry teachers. He was selected to win the Davidson Award for Outstanding Chemistry Teaching, the Midwest Regional Catalyst Award for Chemistry Teaching, and most recently, the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science Training. According to Dr. Lee Hawkins, Director of Instruction, "He (Cardulla) represents the best one can be in his or her own profession." -Cheryl Cohn Gregory Youstra, M.A. Health Niles North is very fortunate to have Mr. Proffit as a theatre director.

There are the athletes and the actors, the musicians and the artists, the politicians and the writers, the debaters and the dancers. Some bake holiday cookies for the cooking club. while others solve complicated problems for the math club. And then there are the leaders and the volunteers. who throughout the year help others around them. Regular weekly meetings. everyday rehearsals and prac- tices keep the students going and striving for their best. Some are involved in a little of everything. others concentrate only on one particular activity, but all the different participants are unified into one spirited school body. While supporting the school and their peers. or just for their own fun. many come to the Friday night games. The others. however, are out there on the field or the court trying to do their best and often succeeding. There are, also, the after-school meets and the Saturday night performances. Once again, peers and parents come for support and entertainment. Many students are known for their honor roll performances, others for their artistic talents, and still others for their athletic abilities. Everyday new friendships form and every student slowly grows up. When that "grown-up " looks back at the school year. he realizes that all the devotion, spirit, and struggle has payed off. -Svetlana Torgovnik People - 185 - �As newcomers to Niles North the "class of 88" experienced some new and interesting challenges. For the first few weeks they were quiet and hung out with their old friends. Eventually they broke out of their shells and met new people. Freshmen year 1s the time to experiment and this year the Freshmen were not exception. The Freshmen Class Board got off to a slow start but their faces popped up in many of the extra curricular activities. Freshmen joined a variety of clubs that were of interest to them. Peer Counseling and the Marching Band were popular. Freshmen liked their new found freedom. High School meant choosing electives, dropping classes they didn't like. and having free time during the school day. Many Freshmen were shocked by all of the homework they were loaded down with at Niles North. Many had to adjust to the schedule and changes from junior high. The high school schedule and challenges were quite different from junior high.

Becky, who had taken violin lessons for live years, joined the Concert Orchestra to improve her technique and enjoyed the chance to play a wide variety of music. According to Becky, music had been her favorite hobby for many years. In addition, she had also taken piano lessons for six years. "I decided to take violin and piano lessons because it was fun," commented Becky, " and I enjoyed playing music very much." Besides being an accomplished musician, Becky proved to be a very keen dancer also. At the age of five, she began to take tap dancing lessons. During the summer, she took formal dance lessons from a dance studio. Her interest in dancing led her to be actively involved in Auroris. "Being in the first year at high school was not a very major change," stated Becky when asked about freshman year in general, "many things were not totally different except the atmosphere and the people." For Becky, doing well in high school and getting good grades were her primary goals. As for the future, Becky hopes to become a psychologist. "I always want to do things that will challenge my intelligence, and force me to think!"

School means a lot more than that to one student in particular, Erin Jacobs. "School is a place to have fun, meet people, and make new friends," says Erin. One of the ways in which she gets involved is by participating in theatre. She was cast as a mime in the production "A Doctor In Spite Of Himself." Erin also spends much of her time ice skating. She has been skating since she was five, and has been performing in ice shows for four years. "I think that my experience from skating in ice shows helps me on the stage. I'm more used to being in front of an audience," stated Erin.

Teny• Sch•nHm• was the exception to that assumption. T•ny• enjoyed the high school routine and felt that it gave her more control over what she did. Along with getting used to her Niles North schedule she also became involved in the spirit of homecoming. A bright energetic person, T•ny• was one to stand up and cheer for the home team. Although she admitted that getting involved and interested in our school sports was easier when she knew some of the players on the team, she still felt some loyalty to the other teams. During Homecoming, T•ny• was caught up in the excitement and looked forward to watching the parade and attending the big football game. While other kids had trouble adjusting to the new surroundings and people at North, T•ny• found the atmosphere comfortable. She owed this to the fact that she was not the type of person who was shy and quiet. Entering the high school routine was full of laughs and good times and Tmny• looked forward to more pep rallies and football games in her Sophomore year.

They were not considered "freshman" anymore and were determined to put the new freshman class in that role. Sophomore year was a fresh start after a long experimentation. Students no longer had to sneak to Old Orchard for lunch and then worry about getting a Saturday detention. Off Campus was finally available! Sophomores settled down to studying and achieving good grades after they realized that freshman year should have been taken more seriously. Being involved in more school related activities was another factor during sophomore year. Students showed more selfconfidence. Social life improved for many sophomores. Cliques were formed and everyone felt more comfortable with friends. Weekends were often spent at a friends house or going to the movies. Not being old enough for a drivers license, mom or dad still had to be called if a ride was needed. The 1987 class board was very organized and sponsored a homecoming float which took second place. It was the first time in many years that a sophomore class represented itself in the parade with a float. This fact alone showed how a group of students could be supportive and helpful to one another. The "Class of 1987" proved that students can work together and provide spirit and unity for their class and for their school.

She has traveled to South America, and there she visited Venezuela and lived In Bolivia for three years. This was a different experience for Debbie. Bollvla is a fairly mountainous region and Debbie'• home was located on a mountain. For fun Debbie and her friends played tennis and watched T.V. (even though there was only one station). Their school day was a lot shorter than our school day. The students would study math, science, social studies, English, and French. It almost sounds like the U.S. schools, but the Bolivian schools were much more strict. Returning to the U.S. Debbie was about one year ahead of her classmates. When Debbie and her family went to Venezuela. it was purely a pleasure trip. For about a month they visited the many sights that Venezuela had to offer. When asked which country she liked best and why, Debbie replied, "It would probably be Bolivia because I know it best." Debbie was also asked if she would be going back to South America in the near future and she said, "Probably so, but not until this summer or next summer."

The main purpose of the program, in addition to helping students use their time constructively in lieu of study hall. was to give them job experience. Taking advantage of this volunteer program. David Sadkin contributed to this school service. He was involved in different branches of volunteering. One of these was helping out in the spanish department therefore allowing the stall to accomplish other things. David not only participated in this activity but he aided other students too. Involved with Project Lead, he assisted his peers by making them feel more comfortable in school. He also showed his concern for his peers by giving them a voice at the student congress meetings.

Sharon's background in music began in fourth grade. wnere she played the flute in the beginning band. After a year in the cadet band, she moved up to the concert band, the highest level of participation at Golf Jr. High. To participate in the marching band at Niles North, Sharon had to acquire greater skills in playing scales and learning new notes. As a member of the marching band, Sharon found it different from the junior high band. " In the junior high we only practiced three times a week for a half an hour. Here, we practice every day for an hour during our scheduled class time, and whenever we can in the morning before school or in the afternoon." she explained. She also practiced a half an hour every other day at home. In talking about the band. Sharon expressed a great deal of warmth for it. "The people are very friendly and we all have a really great time when we practice and perform." she commented. In the future. Sharon wants to continue with band all through high school and looks forward to playing in the symphonic band.

Juniors became more independent. and took on greater responsibilities. These included taking such important tests as the A.C.T. and the S.A.T. Junior year grades played a very important role in college futures. because Juniors were involved with looking into colleges; reading about them. visiting campuses. and even talking with administrators and counselors. This year was a time for Juniors to try their hardest to achieve the necessary grades to possibly attend the college of their choice. Along with studying, Junior year 1s a time to enjoy. Most Juniors were able to drive. and 1f at all possible. drove anywhere and everywhere with their friends. Juniors were now qualified for JObs, because they were at the legal age for working. Their income was used for gas. food. entertainment. and even put away for college. Junior Class Board had the important task of raising money and organizing Senior Prom. To do this. they held various sales. everything from twenty-five cent suckers to Prom tickets. As their Senior year rolled around.
