PEOP
�Niles North has been in existence for 22
years. 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.

��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.

�1986 Has Its Own Individuality
The &O's were a time of many changes.
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.

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

�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

�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.

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.

�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.

�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.

�A TRADIT ION BEGINS
A New Kind of Memory
1985 marked the first year of the much
advertised Vikingfest, the battle of the
classes. 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.

�BBQ THE BISON!
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

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.

�VOICES
Play Presents Teenage Life
December '85 was a month that brought
change to Niles North's yearly student
production. 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!

SPRING PLAY ENTERT
Chasing windmills, riding saw horses,
and falling in love, Don Quixote, and
several other characters came alive on
the Niles North stage. In the three day
run of "The Man of La Mancha" eighteen hundred people were entertained as
Don Quixote, played by Aaron W eiss,
with help from his sidekick Sancho, portrayed by Kip Helve rson, went on a
quest for Aldonza's love. 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.

The Show That Works
The Niles North theater department
held a "first" on April 26, 1985. 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.

Having finished his rounds, Steven Singer sings

Festival Unites
To most people, December has been regarded as one of the busiest months of
the year. 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".

A Night on the Town
The excitement could be felt in the air
on May 31, 1985, as the night about
which students had dreamed was at
hand. 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 Promgoers it was "One More Night"
to add to their many memories of Niles
North and for all, a night never to forget.

The majestic sound of the Pomp and Circumstance March swept across the field.
For the graduating of 1985, it was the
final day of the countdown that had begun months before. The graduates, filled
with feelings of happiness, memories of
their freshman days, and the sadness of
leaving close friends, anticipated college
careers and new beginnings in the future. Before diplomas were given out,
Valedictoria n Kristina Wu encouraged
her fellow classmates to continue their
education and to work towards a better
society. The 1985 class had 447 graduating students.
The administrat ion along with the parents were pleased by the well-organiz ed
graduation ceremony. M s. Murphy commented, "I thought · it was a wellplanned, lovely graduation. I am sure
that day was one of the happiest days in
the graduates' lives." It was also the last
time Dr. Galen Hosler officially appeared as principal of Niles North as he
assumed his duty as Assistant Superintendent for Niles Townships. Following
the commencem ent ceremony, loud

Earn While You Learn
Getting and keeping a job was an important part of life. 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, located in the 200

Because of limited space for study halls
in the 100 rooms, upperclassm en were
assigned to the 200 rooms for study halls.
This allowed enough space for students
who needed help and for those who are
assigned. According to the Foreign Language Resource Center Teacher Nellie
Bungum, "Resource Centers could be
very useful for the students who take
advantage of them. So much constructive work could be done to further students studies."

Students Face More Classes
With acceptance to most colleges rising
to higher expectations, the Niles North
English and Foreign Language requirements had indeed stiffened. 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

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.

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

�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."

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.

Academics
�TRAINI NG PAYS
OFF
Students Become Teacher's Aid
During their freshman year students
who took an interest in gym were selected by the physical education department
staff to be senior leaders. 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.

"Spirit Lives On"
Long hours of hard work and dedicati on
went into being a Niles North cheerleader or Vikette. 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.

"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-

you're announcin g. After all, you're
talking to nearly 2000 people every

used to it. Now when I'm on the P.A., I
feel as if I'm just talking to one person,

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.

�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.

"Students learn with hands on activities"
This was DECA's sixth year in operation. 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

�Niles North Theater
Department
The Stars Shine Through
One section of Niles North where students were able to show off their talents
was the Niles North theater department.
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". Senior Lisa Bany shared her most memorable experience. "I was directing 'Voices

a good show in front of a nice sized
crowd, when all of a sudden, a janitor
walks across stage carrying a ladder! 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.

Many people did not take into consideration where the food served at openhouse and Christmas activities came
from. The answer was the Creative

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

invitation only. Mrs.McElfresh, the

�THE GAME OF KINGS
"Mathletes"
For those students who enjoyed the game
of chess, there were two activities to
choose from: the Chess Club and the
Chess Team. 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.

SPIRITUALLY
"Choirs joined for festival"
The only place where music and lyrics
could be heared without breaking school
rules was the chorus room. 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

Many high schools have bands. Marching bands, symphonic bands, and jazz

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

�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.

�Cooperation Improves Performance
.
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

�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.

�Need More Runners
Dedicated runners was what track was
all about. 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.

�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 -

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!"

�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. According to junior all-conference player Ad am Ga rland , the underclassmen will provide a
lot of talent for next year's team.

More experience and better soccer skills
improved the 1985 season for the Girls'
Soccer Team. Coach William Coulson
was pleased with the results of the team's
hard work and preparation. Many team
members trained over the summer by
joining soccer
camps where
they were introduced to co-ed
games. Also,a

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.

In the spring after the snow has melted,

"We could have
done better, but
it 's okay , we
had alot of fun"
said Senior Laura Pomeran tz, a

Many girls including Gayle Lev, Leslie Babetch, Sharon Gothlef, Laura Pomerantz, and M olly

Spirits were also high for the girls J.V.

Strength and endurance were the major
advantages of the 1985 Viking cross

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. Although
neither team lived up to their full potential this year, Coach H oward hopes as the
team members become more experienced
in team running, their ability to perform
will increase.

Football! What would a school be without a winning football team, spirited

some newly developed muscles
from a summer

Giambeluca, the
Vikings had a
good chance of

they posted a 5-4 record. From every aspect of the game this football team has
talent. The offensive line included four

Dave Hancock played quaterback. This
talent led the Vikings to an upset victory
over the Stevenson Patriots, the Warren
Blue Devils and Mudelein. The first loss
went to Lake Forest, but that didn't stop
the Vikings. During the Teacher's
Union Strike, the Vikings had to forfiet
a game to winless North Chicago, but the
team continued to practice even without
the use of equipment or a coach. The
first game following the Teacher's

mood for Homecoming weekend, during
which North defeated the Fenton Bison.
Following the Homecoming came the
game against Libertyville. This game was

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

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,

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.

Tennis Team Improves
"This year the players attitudes were
better, and they enjoyed the sport more,"
said the girls tennis team coach Carl
Field. 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.

Friendship Prevails Throughout The Season
The girl's swim team didn't have a great
year this season in terms of wins and had
only won one meet this season. 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."

deal of optim ism, enthu siasm , and confi dence the 1985- 86 squad receiv ed the
suppo rt of the fans and deriv ed additiona l stren gth from the Niles North
athle tic progr am.
Coac h Chris tie has been a coach of high
schoo l baske tball for twen ty-on e years ,
seven teen of these years was on the varsity level. He stated that, "this year's
team was small in heigh t, but quick on
their feet." Altho ugh the team lacke d
heigh t there was some conti nuity because two of last years starte rs were back.
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

�-A..Swimming Season "Mediocre"
It was the strength of three individual
swimmers that brought a degree of success to the 1985-86 team. 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.

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. Coach Balculius commented, "That gives evidence that a lot
of hard work pays off."

�Team's Pride Remains Strong
Injuries took their toll on our team of
Varsity Wrestlers. Several players were
taken from the season with injuries. A
lack in numbers of quality sportsmen
was obvious during this year. Wrestlers
such as Alan
Migdal and
Marshall Goldsmith gave
much support to
the rest of the
uninjured team.
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. We just didn't do
very well this year." Senior John Leal
got the same feelings as Goldsmith did.
"If there weren't so many injuries the

lot of people to accidents." MVP Junior
Alan Migdal went unhurt this season.
Alan was noted several times for his outstanding abilities in wrestling. When
asked about this outstanding wrestler,
many team members noted him to be an
asset to the whole team. Lack of participation also contributed to the unsuccessful season this year. Many wrestlers had
outside jobs that took up much of their
time. "It's hard to hold a job, go to school
and be able to enjoy all the extra-curricular activities."

�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.

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.

William Coulson did not defin e the word "commitment" with words, he defined it with his lifestyl e. He has devot ed himself to the Distributive
Education Clubs of America at both the school and
state levels for fifteen years.
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.
One did not have to search deep to find his obvious
commitment to the club and its ideals, and the
satisfaction he derives from it.

After leaving Niles North in 1965, Marla Cowan
took a few yea rs to see the world before she returned. 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.

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."

Freshman Brian Fogel, who was active in
sports in junior high, started the school
year as a lineman for the freshmen football team. He said that the squad was
made up of too many individuals and
not enough "team", but that improved as
they approached their last game.
Homework and grades were not affected
by his being involved with a sport. In
addition to playing football, he planed
on going out for basketball.
Like many freshmen, Brian had found it
easy to continue the sports program from
junior high into high school. High
school sports provide many students
with a chance to develop and show-off
their skills, and particpate in health y
competition.

While most students sit around the
house doing nothing on their freetime,
freshman Brian Collender collects baseball cards. 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.

Coming back for its eecond year, the cla8s of 1988
was not considered "fresh", instead, the aophomores amumed their roles with more conficlence
and responsibility. Sophomore year meant the
privilege of Open Campus; students no longer had
to meak to Olcl Orchard for lunch and worry
about Saturday detention. for thole who had
dreamt about getting a driver's Ileen., this was
their year to take Driver's Education. After one
year of high school, unsurednem, and experimentation, the sophomores med opportunities to expand their involvement and enjoyed more activities.

When you think of great athletes at
Niles North one name stands out, Shari
Rozmus. Shari was a sophomore who
competed in all three seasons of the
Niles North sports program. Shari ran
on Cross Country and was awarded AllConference Player, Shari played last
year and was the only freshman on the
Varsity team. During the spring-time
she played Varsity Soccer. "I excelled the
most in soccer," Shari stated. Shari won
All-Conference and was also nominated
on the Illinois All-State. I've been playing with local park district soccer teams
for the past eight years" commented
Shari, "I don"t know what it is, I just
enjoy the game so much." Shari stated
that Niles North girls have the ability to
win the North Suburban Conference.
"Our hardest competition comes from
Libertyville." Even though Shari was
very active in school sports, she was still
able to make the honor roll. Looking
towards the future, Shari hopes to go to a
college that has a soccer team.

Keeping up a grade point average of 4.0
wasn't easy, but Jeff Liang accomplished
that and still more. Jeff found time after
school to belong to the Math Club, Chess
Club, and Medical Club, along with
writing for Calliope and participating in
school sports.
Jeff's interests turns to tennis in the
spring. During the off season, Jeff tried
to visit the weight cage as much as possible, but life wasn't all fun and games.
Jeff had to spend three hours a night in
serious study to keep his grade point
average where he wanted it. Considering
that Jeff was enrolled in Honors Chemistry, 2nd year Honors Spanish, Calculus
B.C., Honors English, and Orchestra, it
was surprising that he didn' t spend more
time studying. On the side Jeff found
time to take private tennis and violin
lessons and was looking forward to a
medical career as a doctor.

Responsibility and independence became a way of
life for juniors as they joined the "upperclassmen"
at Niles North. Academically this meant taking
the SAT, PSAT, and ACT exams. During this year,
most students turned 16 and were able to drive. Not
only was junior year a time for serious studying, it
was also the year for emphasizing an active social
life. Junior Class Board was just one way to show
support for the class and have fun doing it.
The main purpose of Junior Class Board was to
raise money for the Junior and Senior Prom. This
past year the Junior Class Board held a garage sale,
sold Christmas candy and Valentine carnations to
raise money. Class officers Becky Levin, Amy Stewart, Kim Kossoff and Alan Hirsch organized all
board activities, and promised Niles North a successful Prom '86.

Classical music, anyone? Not every
teenager might enjoy the music of Bach,
Beethoven, or Mozart, but to junior
Chris Choi, classical music has played an
important ro le in her life for the past ten
years. 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. "Occcasionally, I listen to rock music," Chris said, "but generally, classical
music is my main concern." Chris plans
to major in music in college. She wants
to make a career out of music, hopefully

school schedule for Amy. Staying active
in school is important to Amy, and when
she wasn't occupied with school activities or homework, she could be found at
a dance show or jazz festival. Amy enjoyed dancing to music of all varieties,
except country and hard rock.
School presents no problem to Amy, and
her future plans include college. Amy
said " I'm seriously thinking of UCLA,
and entering the science field." Amy's
humor is tinged with sarcasm, though
her friends know her to be a sensitive,
fun person to be around. Being friendly
comes easily to Amy, and when asked
about her philosophy on life, Amy answered " I just take it one day at a time."

To be competent in one sport is an accomplishment many students find hard
to achieve, but to strive for perfection in
three sports is quite unusual. For junior
Chris T ishy, it's a challenge she has taken on. Chris is a member of the Varsity
Soccer, Volleyball, and Gymnastics
teams, and she has played these sports
for three years of high school.Chris does
not devote all her time to sports, as she is
President of the Varsity Club and keeps
a grade point average of 4.0. 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?
"Hopefully, I'll be able to play one of the
sports in college,'' commented Chris.

Practice and endurance make the athlete. When a person dedicates a great

�Guess who always has a sunny smile on
her face, is always laughing and is willing to help someone if they need it?
That's right: Senior Nancy Chang. This
little lady is fun to be around, she's always got a good outlook on life, and is
plainly a really nice person. 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. Some people might think
that Nancy would be aloof because she is
so smart, but Nancy is a very down to
earth person who has a good head on her
shoulders and can always find something to laugh about.

�Due to his extremely high score on the
Standardize d Achievemen t Test (SAT),
David Son had the fine distinction of
being one of four National Merit Scholarship finalists. The winner of the
scholarship will receive four years of tuition to the college of his choice.
David stated that spending extra time on
studies outside of school and reading
many literary works not required by his
classes contributed to his academic success. He is very self-motivate d. " I see
some of my friends being pushed to do
well and get into a certain school by
their parents. I'm glad my parents have
not put that kind of pressure on me,"
David said. David thinks he would like
to major in Chemistry at the University
of Chicago or Northwester n University.
Outside of school, David enjoys man y
social acti vities. H e is an av id ten nis
player and an active participant in his
church's youth group and its orchestra.

sliding and dancing through the halls
singing "The Roof is on Fire," but this
man's game isn't entertainment, it's basketball.
He has participated in baseball and remains an outstanding member of the
football team, but basketball is his main
interest. In junior high, Joey was "an
average player," in fact, he wasn' t even
good enough to make the seven th grade
team. Joey got his mind and body in
tun e to the ga me in high school, and was
honored as an All-conference player of
last year's winning basketball team.

His most outstanding basketball memory is the Niles North win over Libert yville in 1984. As a junior he contributed
to the victory b y scoring 31 points and
capturing 15 rebounds. Not only was it
North's fi rst-time defea t of the Wildcats,
but it was also Joey's birthday!
W ha t does Joey have to say about at hleti c experience? "Sports not o nly keep me
in shape, but enable me to work with
other people." H e hopes to continue
shooting hoops in college.

Receiving a varsity letter is a great honor for most athletes. 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. Leslie received an All Conference
award in softball, and in the winter season she looked forward lo an All Conference award in basketball. As a senior,
Leslie hoped to graduate with two all
conference titles and many fond memories of her participation in school sports.

�By participating in the German Excange
Student Program, Senior Karen Stahl
spent three weeks in Ahlen, Germany in
the summer of 1985. Karen stayed in a
German household with Birgitt Blomberg, one of the strdents who had visited
Skokie in the spring. Karen said that
Birgit! was able to speak English very
well, as did the rest of her family.
Speaking English is quite common
among families in Germany. The influence of Western or American culture
was obvious in the music and fashions of
the very punk-looking teen-agers in
238 - Seniors
Berlin. Besides Ah len, Karen visited
Frankfurt, Cologne, Munster, and East
and West Berlin. Karen did not feel as
though she was welcome in East Berlin,
due to the political climate, but the trip
to a Communist country made a strong
impression on her. She knows that she
left a part of herself in West Berlin by
writing her n ame and the date on the
Berlin Wall. Ka re n's trip was very special to her and to the people she shared it
with.

�For years, people have watched Bruce
lee movies. To people who don't know
much about karate, it may appear to be
just a bunch of jumping around, but as
Jordon Scott says, "Karate isn't just a
bunch of jumping around , it's an art
that needs many years of practice to become good at". Jordon Sco tt has been
practicing for many years and has become good at it. For six years, Jordon has
been training at the North Shore Martial Arts Academy. During that time he
has acheived the goal of black belt, the
highest belt in karate, in both the Korean form of karate Tae-Kwon-Doe, and
246 -
Seniors
the Japanese form Sho-Do-Con. Not
only does Jordan train and improve his
skills in the sport, he also competes. In
the 1984 State Karate Tournament he
placed first, and in 1986 he took second.
One of his most exciting achievements
in Karate was being one of twenty-five
black belts to try-out to compete for the
Maccabia Games in Isreal. lately Jordan 's main interest has been to teach the
sport, and to train to try to compete in
the Pan-American Games in 1988.

Empty lockers, quiet hallways, and vacant classrooms became the symbol of a
special time, the end of another school
year. 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.

�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.

������fl ALL HAPPENED ON MIKE BASRAK FIELD
1985-1986 was definitely the year of football for Chicago and
although our own team went 3-6 it hasn't always been that way. 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.

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. This day was one of the dress up
activities of Homecoming 1985.

SENIORS! SENIORS! The words echoed
from the Senior bleachers at the pep
assembly. The class of '86 has finally
reached the top and they're proud. Finally the oldest in the school, seniors
feel their power and display their spirit
in cheers, clothes, and activities.
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. "Representing the school as the mascot is
fun and exciting. It's a great experience
being part of the spirit," said Judy Ashe!'. senior mascot.

IF I WERE TEACHER
Seniors, as well as other students, can often

SENIOR HIDEAWAY
Have you ever felt unwanted, out of place, or just plain lost? 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

�A DAY IN THE LIFE OF
Although no one really thinks about it, there are many differences bet~een a
freshman's school day and a senior's school day. 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)

�vo· LOOK
u
MARVELOUS!
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!"

�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.
Leading the Marching Band in performance is Drum Major Senior
Cindi Moss. The Marching Band competed in two competitions
bringing back 2nd and 7th place trophies.

But how could we forget, the most popular field of all, the fine
chefs. The people who work~ at fast food restaurants. These

Ah, senior status! For the class of 1986, it marked a
final year of learning at West. 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.

�LOOKING BACK
Can you remember back to that time long ago when Mom said, "It's time to
go," and you asked, puzzled, "Where?" 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.

the head isn' t always appreciated.

�PAISLEY HITS THE 'SO's
Each year there is a new fashion that works its way into the hallways and classrooms. 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.

You see it all the time. In the halls in the gym, in the cafeteria. You're so used to it
that you probably don't even notice it. 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.

�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.

�THE HEAT IS ON!
Pressure is one of the biggest problems that face students at Niles West,
even seniors. 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.

His gym clothes didn't have any rips.
He always sat in the seat behind the bus driver and asked, "Where are the seat
belts?"
He always sat "three in a seat" on the bus even when there were empty seats in
the back, guarded by seniors,
He always laughed at the teacher's jokes,
He was the only one who waved back to Dr. Ring.

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.

STYLISH DAYS
Stylish days meant big, bold, layered, and diverse.
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.

WHAT IS A JUNIOR?
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.
A junior is what I am proud to call myself.

MONDAY MORNING
MISTAKES
Monday. 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!"

THE GRADE RUSH
It's the last week of the six-week marking period and you
still have to make up three homework assignments and two
tests. 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.

FRIENDSHIPS
Going back to school was not the same experience for all
students at West. 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.

�FROSH-SOPH MIXER
PROVES POPULAR
As the D.J. played the hottest hits, freshmen and sophomores got themselves out on the dance floor to prove that dancing is what they do best!
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!

HANGOUTS
As you walk through the hallways at West, whether in
the morning, during your free time, or even between
passing periods, you probably have noticed the same
faces in the same places at the same time. 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
THEY NECESSARY?
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.

�THE HEAT IS ON
During the first few weeks of school, everyone suffered from a lot of
problems, classes, teachers, ·tests and the heat. 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."
Estelle Nikolakakis 89'
"I came to school in my swimming trunks"
Alan Dassow 86'
"I went outside during my free time"
Jenny Suess 87'
"I went to morning swim practice."
Mary Theodore 88'
"I just went crazy and got a crewcut plus shaved the sides of my hair right
by my ears."
Brian Gut 88'
"I wore as little clothes as possible."

Who knows maybe next year when the heat is on you might use one of
these suggestions. Meanwhile, keep cool!

DECORATING
LOCKERS
When you walk down the halls at school, have you sometimes noticed the cardboard cards that are taped to some of
the lockers? 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.

�FRESHMEN ENJOY ''GET
INVOLVED'' ASSEMBLY
On September 10, almost 500 freshmen yelled and cheered as Miss Stewart
welcomed the Class of '89 to Niles West. 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 WALLS
When you think of the color pink, what do you usually
think of? 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."
Karen Pintz
"I think they're swell."
Noel Garfinkel
"I totally love themll They remind me of my bedroom!"
Stacy Stratigakes
"I think the pink walls are ugly, but now I really don't
notice the color."
Stephanie Pritcker
"The Pepto-Bismol walls are ugly!"
Larry Mills
"You don't really notice the walls."

�BETTER OFF DEAD!!
Arriving at the first class of the day, you sit down and relax until the bell
rings. 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?

FREAK SHOW
On Friday nights many Niles West students went to see
the "Rocky Horror Picture Show." What's was so great about
it? Here's what some of your fellow students said:
"Some movies you laugh with, "Rocky Horror" you laugh
at."
Tom Malkin 'S7
"It's a happening. Before the show the audience goes on
stage and acts the movie out."
Marc Hamid 'S7
"I love the audience participation."
Rob Munic 'SS
"Great soundtrack."
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."
The Rocky Horror Picture Show" was presented at Evanston
and Old Orchard Theaters.
Sophomore Jason Litwin has sp irit even with
his " bad break." Togas were the costumes
worn during one day of spirit wee k, Homecom ing 1985.

BECAUSE
Everyone at sometime has had to think fast when the
teacher asked that dreaded question, "Why are you
late?" The problem with the "usual" excuses are that
nobody believes them. So next time you're in that bind,
pick a category and try one of these:
JOCK-I was in the bathroom and my zipper got
stuck.
INTELLECTUAL-I had to
wait until channel II was off

�CARTOON FAVORITES .
If you were to ask Niles West students what their favorite food, rock group,
or song was, you'd get a great variety of answers. Everybody has an opinion of
their own. So when students were asked who their favorite cartoon characters
were and why they picked these characters, the responses were original and
rather amusing. Here are some of them ..
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."

-SWATCHES GALORE
One of the newest and hottest looks among guys and girls
at Niles West are the Swatch quartzes. Not only do these
Swiss watches provide perfect timing, but. they are also a
very fashionable and "in look." They come in a numerous
amounts of colors and sizes including everything from a
plain black or grey, to plaid and paisley. Swatches have
become a very popular accessory and are worn by just about
everyone. "I think that they're cool because they're original
and different from most watches." commented freshman
Ivy Kron. So, if you're not a Swatch owner, then do as the
advertisement says and "Switch to Swatch!"

�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."

Often seen blowing her own horn is senior band member Marsha Telengator. The band is an important part of every assembly .
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. Mark is just one of the many
students who helped promote spirit during the
assembly.
The Niles West varsity cheerleaders display their agility by forming a pyramid. No game
would ever be complete without the spirit and enthusiasm of the cheerleaders.
The Porn Pon squad entertains the crowd with another award winning routine. The Porn Pon
girls put on spectacular routines to popular music.
Nervously awaiting her first all-school performance is Indian mascot Judy Asher. Judy brought
smiles and spirit to all who watched her perform.

BOPPIN' AT THE BASH
Summer was over and the new school year had begun. To help
students get back into the swing of things, Student Union sponsored the Back to School Bash.
The bash was held after the home football game. 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

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

�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.

College Night is open to anyone interested. 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.

less fortunate children the opportunity to have the best possible Christmas they can have. Also, the seniors
have a chance to share in the real
spirit of the holidays.
The seniors this year went all out
and put a lot of money into a most
worthy cause. They bought a lot of
presents for the children and worked
hard to plan fun games that they
would enjoy. Jon Lisco told the
Christmas story and Jordan Cramer
came in all the way from the North
Pole to play Santa Claus and distribute presents. Sherri Owens, the senior cabinet's new advisor, was very
impressed with the party. "It was a
terrific experience seeing our seniors
getting involved with people less fortunate than themselves. It is the only
activity of its kind and I think the
seniors will always remember it,"
commented Owens.

songs like "Cherish," "Joanna" and "Who's
Holdin' Donna Now?" that they'll remember

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

kids around when they come to my house. I put on my
gorilla mask and toss eggs at them," stated David

"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. Held on October 31 and November I and 2,
the musical was based on a script written by playwright Tom Jones and its music was adopted from the works of
composer Harvey Schmidt.
The story's plot focused upon an orphan, played by sophomore John Barba, and his promise to an old man, Mr.
Rich, portrayed by sophomore Arthur Tiersky. The orphan promised to make Mr. Rich feel young again in return
for the restoration of his lost home. In pursuit of this goal, the orphan received the aid of Potemkin, played by
senior Paul Bouboutsis, and anangel, portrayed by sophomore Michelle Dayan. The mood of the story was further
enhanced by the presence of a chorus dressed in masks and headdresses.
Through the combined efforts of actors, crew and chorus members, the show's run proved a success. As senior
Andy Mills, the musical's technical director and set designer commended, "Celebration was not only more
successful than originally thought, but also an experience that will long linger in the minds of those who
participated."

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. Junior Andy Rudin probably
summed up the situation best when he said, "I knew I had
to take them, so I simply studied hard and did the best I
could."

year's show had a different twist to it. Junior high school students completed the chorus. Oliver combined a vast number of
students pulling different aspects of Niles West together. Members of music, drama, athletics, cheerleading and all different
social strata were involved.
Director of the musical was Robert Johnson. Vocal director was
Sheri Owens. The band was under the direction of William Koch.
Behind the scenes, Cindy Philbin and Lee Goldberg were cotechnical directors. The theater department hired Mark

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.

�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.

��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.

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

screaming for more.

�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.

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.

"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.

MEYER REBUILDING TEAM'S
SKILLS
For every head coach there exists a different game plan. This makes it
difficult for the coach, players, and everyone else included with the program.
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·.

LEARNING THE SYSTEM
The freshman and sophomore basketball teams spent most of their
first two seasons learning the Niles West "system". 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.

INTENSITY KEY
WORD
"Intensity" was the word you heard echo from the huddle
of the Girls Varsity Basketball Tearn. 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.

Although the girls J.V. team was still young, the players showed great
potential. Vigorous practices after school included conditioning, lots of
running, and fundamentals. Most of the basketball players agreed that
the practices were tough, but the key to success meant hours of practice.
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

Captains Felicia Bakshy and Andrea Poet were

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

"Every game is the most important game of
the season. We must prepare for each and
every game .. . we can't let ourselves down
after a loss. 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."
The Niles West Indians ended the season,
then, with what was both a victory on the
field and a personal victory for knowing they
had done their best.

�J.V. 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."

They were also in the toughest conference

two seniors, David Cohen and John Spagoletti qualified for sectionals. The team

The team had a lot of enthusiasm and dedication. All
their hard work paid off when they placed second in
districts. Stated Stephanie Leader, " Of my four years on
the team. this year was definitely the most fun. There was
a feeling of real closeness among us. Our closeness and

worked as a team whose goals were to win conference,
qualify for sectionals, and have individuals qualify for
state.
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.

�FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORE KICKERS
MASTER FUNDAMENTALS
The Sophomore Soccer Tearn
turned in an excellent season.
They were aggressive and willing to learn, and "feared no opponent." Most of all, they had
fun. Practicing everyday after
school the team greatly improved its skills. All the hard
work paid off, as they ended
their season undefeated in their
conference.
"The team progressed throughout the season and we played up
to our ability," said George Langis. Jim Daehler added that the
team worked well together on
the field. Outstanding players
were Alix Kogan, Ben Vashon,
John Puljic and George Langis.
The team was coached by Mr.
Hart.
The Freshmen A and B Soccer
Tearns including many boys who
had never played soccer before.
All of these players improved
their game tremendously. By the
end of the season, they started
to work together as a team and
not strive for individual accomplishments.
"The team worked hard and
next year we are hoping to have
a successful season," commented Greg Brudo and David Lee.
Some hopefuls to look for in the
coming years are Andres Limber
and Ralph Anifiotis. The teams
were coached by Mr. Zorn and
Mr. Sweeny.

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. Now we
are on the verge of an official state tournament.

Tough workouts combined with togetherness, dedication, and spirit helped the girls' Swim Teai:n through their
long season. Though some meets and practices were missed because of the strike, the girls made it through t~e
season with a record, and were able to place in the conference meet.
No matter what the score, the team stuck together and was always full of spirit, thanks to senior captains Katie
Argetsinger and Karina Doyle. "It was a good season overall with victories over Niles North, Waukegaun East, and
Elk Grove," stated Coach Don Larson. Doyle finished the season by placing 1st in conference and 6th in sectionals.
Senior Diane Rubenstein finished 5th in conference and 12th in sectionals, thanks to the coaching of Jodi Nebia.
Assistant Coach Cami Axelson also did a fine job keeping the junior varsity team together. "Though it is only my
first year on the team, I'm already looking forward to the next season," stated Freshman Marny Pierini. Pierini,
along with freshman Patty Tzortzis, competed at the varsity level and excelled in competition. Tzortzis placed
Sth at the New Trier Freshman Invitational and 12th in conference. Other strong and promising swimmers were
sophomore Wendy Martin who broke three school records and placed 4th in conference. "Next year looks
promising because of the fact that so many of us are working out during the off season," said sophomore Mary

BREAK RECORDS
The Boys Freshman Swimming team got
off to a 3-0 start, with victories against
Glenbrook South and Maine East. 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. Other strong swimmers included Torrey Browder and John T zortzis.

�GOING THE DISTANCE
" Going the distance" was the goal
of the thirty five member Girls' Track
team. 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.

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

many achievements, the team went

off.
Niles West has won many conference titles and regional titles. According to senior Barry Albalch, "Winning is

Want to travel to diff~rent countries around the world and
experience their cultures? Join the AFS club! 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

HELLENIC CLUB PROVES TRADITION
Do you like gyros and togas? Then you might be
interested in the Niles West Hellenic Club. 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.

They praised the club saying,
"It was an activity where students found out more about

where they could become acquainted with students who

�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

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.

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."

���Recording history in the form of photography is no task for a person who
lacks dedication. 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

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

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.

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."

�TIMERS "SET" THE RECORDS
Every second counted as the Timers' Club set off another year.
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."

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. The thirteen members, sponsored by Shirley Daniel,
gained a sense of real responsibility. The Guard Club was kind
of a teaching class, too, as senior Nicki Theodore said, "I
enjoyed helping people learn, I want to pursue teaching.''
WITHOUT THEM; DISASTERf
"Without the girls our meets would have been a disaster," said
sophomore George Santillan about the wrestlettes. The wrestlettes not only kept score, but cheered on the team, gave the
wrestlers a lot of support, and brought fans to the meets. They
were the wrestlers' biggest fans. The wrestlettes also sponsored Parents' Night and sold taffy apples.

get involved in sports and show Qur school spirit," said sophomores Karin Orsic and Rachel Greenspan. Vice-president was
Georgia Sotiropoulos.
The president was Aida Santillan; the secretary was Chris

Thanks to sponsors Lori Barranco and Nancy Tuzzdino, one of the more spirited organizations this year
was the porn pon squad. Not only did they participate in all game half-times for the football and basketball seasons, but they were also involved with pep
assemblies and the Homecoming parade. Along with
these activities, they performed with the marching
band in two competitions, taking second and seventh place. Said Barranco about her girls, "I have
twenty-two of the best daughters anyone could ask
for. They're independent girls that get things
done." The squad worked together to make a success of all their activities. They are like one happy
family. Said senior Rachel Garcia, "I've been on the
squad for three years and it's been the most rewarding part of my high school career." And junior Devra
Resnick summed it up saying. "Not only do we perform together, but the whole squad is like a group of
sisters. We all get along great." The porn pon squad
proved that this was their year by taking all firstplace awards at camp, perfecting new and harder
routines, and performing with a flair that was their's
alone. Their greatest feat was promoting school spirit with enthusiasm that no one could equal.
All smiles are senior pom pon captains Yung-me

The name " Expressions" says it all. Although this is the
club's first year, the success and membership was outstanding. Performances included the Winter Festival, Boston, Pops, Fall Choral Concert and many others. They also
sponsored the smash hit "Star Search" which involved
many North Shore high school students.
The success of " Expressions" goes to the help of choreographer Gretchen Glader, and to Ms. Owens, the vocal
director who helped a great deal with having such a well
rounded swinging choir. "Next year looks like a good one,
as long as we stay together," stated freshman Rachel

�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.

performances of the Concert Choir this year, as
compared to 1984-1985. That has been a primary
goal of mine." Included in those performances was the addition of a fall choral
concert, a dessert concert in the Oakton
Street Lobby, and a combined concert with
Niles North. 'Tm involved in Concert Choir
because I enjoy singing and I meet many
people who share the same interest that I
do," stated senior Elizabeth Kelley.
What's the best way to start the year off on a
good note? Sing in choir! With the help of sponsor Sherri Owens, the Girls' Ensemble strove to
improve their voices. 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. Junior
Michelle Cohen expressed the enthusiasm of the
group saying, "Singing is fun and interesting, and
we learn a wide variety of songs. Each person is
given an equal opportunity to sing by our wonderful teacher Mrs. Owens.''

SOPHOMORES BUSY!
Sophomore Class Cabinet, under the advisory of Mrs.
Krone, was very busy. All thirty sophomore students in
this organization, including Benjie Malkin as president,
Marc Fienberg as vice-president, Missy Rabin as treasurer, and Stefani lvisic as secretary helped in some
way to make sure the class of 'SS had a successful year.
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. It took a lot of work, but it was
worth it since they took 1st place in the spirit panel
contest!
In November, for a fundraiser, they had the original
idea of selling bagged popcorn. The popcorn sold fast
and the cabinet benefitted from the profits that were
mad!'?.
I
ALL NEW GOV'T.
Planning for bake sales, the Frosh-Soph Mixer, the volleyball tournament, and grade level activities are a few
of the accomplishments of Freshman Class Cabinet.
According to sponsor Ms. Nash, "Freshman Cabinet is a
great way for students to get involved from the very
beginning of their high school years." The officers
were President Stacy Lutz, Vice-President Fehlyn Tulen, Secretary Rachel Cohen, and Treasurer Mindy

Senior Cabinet had planned many activities such as the bake
sales. the Homecoming float. a Christmas party. the Battle of the
Bands, and the Senior Breakfast. for their class.
Club sponsor Sheri Owens said. "I have enjoyed my first year as
sponsor for the Senior Class Cabinet. The groups dedication to
the school and community provides excellent leadership for the
class of '86."
Secretary Jordan Cramer stated. "The reason I am involved 'in
this activity is to do good things representing our class for the
school and community ."
President Mark Poulakidas said, "The purpose of Senior Cabinet
is to promote spirit and have fun by planning activities which
serve both the school and the community."
As is tradition, the responsibility for planning Prom was placed in
the hands of Junior Class Cabinet. Part of that responsibility
entailed fundraising with all profits going to the Prom.
Fundraisers included selling taffy apples on two separate occasions, having a bake sale, the "After Game Madness" dance.
showing a feature film in the auditorium and running concessions at the Battle of the Bands.
The twenty-plus members of Junior Class Cabinet and their
sponsor. Mrs. Linda Horwitz, worked patiently and diligently
through the weeks to organize and develop, "Once In A Lifetime:· Prom 1986. This work included inventing a theme, choosing a favor , designing the bid. and picking a Prom logo. as well as
planning the details of the dance itself.
Junior Class Cabinet raised a substantial amount of money to
help defeat the costs of the fine Prom they had planned. In the
words of Junior Class Cabinet President James Van Osdol. "The
key to our successes were in the ideas and hard work of everyone involved."

GOVERNMENT
Whenever new ideas came up for all-school events, such as fundraisers,
E.C.C. provided a forum to hear those ideas. Whenever conflicts of interest
arose between student groups, E.C.C. helped settle the debate. If friction
occurred between students and the administration, E.C.C. provided the
lubricant to keep Niles West a well-oiled machine. Yes, the Executive
Coordinating Council played a pivotal role in communications between al'
the groups at Niles West. Topics for discussion could have been channeled
through the representatives of any of the respective administrative and
student governmental groups. Once channeled, these topics were thoroughly discussed and consensus decisions made, usually to the satisfaction of all
involved.

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.
