Senior Karin Orslc anticipates a fun-filled evening while waiting for her date. 4 Checking In Karyn Elliott, one of the ten nominees for Homecoming Queen, and Craig Gramatls, noml· nee for King, enjoy a pleasant ride down Oakton street during the parade. Many clubs also took part In the parade with creative multicolored floats. �Checking In Along with the high ranked status of "the senior class" comes the privilege of being nominated to Homecoming court. King and Queen nominees anxiously await the results of the election. Early every weekday morning, the tranquil, undisturbed halls of NiWeHi undergo a remote transformation. Students begin to pile into the building by the dozens, and tranquility is suddenly replaced by an explosion of ear-piercing voices. " Checking In" has become a daily ritual of these high school students. It acknowledges the start of another challenging school day. Students riding the school bus usually arrive first , thus enjoying a full 30 minute free time. They await the appearance of their buses at various stops throughout Linco lnwood, Morton Grove, Niles, and Skokie. More fortunate students, normally upperclassmen, have the privilege of driving to school. Students prefer to drive rather than take the bus because it means an extra half hour of sleep and a later departure from home. Nevertheless, even driving has its disadvantages. Arriving at school later often means searching for a parking space, and sometimes walking from the far end of the lot in bad weather. Once inside the building, the majority of students lounge in the cafeteria. A manifold of loud , chattering voices echo throughout the cafeteria , Oakton Lobby, and hallways. Others prefer a more serene environment, choosing the library or resource centers to complete homework. An overabundance of students wait for their turn in front of the overcrowded bathroom mirrors, and the pounding of basketballs vibrate throughout the contest gym. Finally , the 7:30 bell sounds . The previously crowded hallways are suddenly empty and peaceful. Only the familiar sound of the P.A. announcements can be heard. Another school day has begun . Junior Calvin Ramseyer enjoys the excess attention he receives after his unfortunate injury. Close friends and classmates take time out of their schedules to comfort him. A smile of satisfaction appears on senior Jlnjer Brody's face as she completes a perfectly coordinated routine. As usual, the pom pon girls use creativity and skill· ful moves to Impress their audience. Checking in 5 �Checking Up On Vocabulary Any intelligent student at Niles West knows the importance of a well developed vocabulary. No matter what class a student takes, vocabulary always plays a part. Vocabulary can even help a student relate to both past events, and new experiences. Every high school student should know these few terms: Freshman (fesh/man), 1. Undermostclassman. 2. A student who buys elevator passes. 3. A student who looks for homeroom grade on his report card. 4. Someone who brings home every book and studies them vigorous I y, even though homework wasn't assigned . 5. A student who wanders aimlessly. Sophomore (sot/a mor), 1. Underclassman. 2. A student who thinks he knows what he is doing, but doesn't. 3 . A student who rules the busses since juniors and seniors don't take them. Junior (jUn/yar), 1. Upperclassman. 2. A student who realizes college is around the corner. 3. A victim of the ACT and SAT. Senior (sen/yar), 1. Up- permostclassman. 2. A student who knows what to do yet prefers not to do it. 3. One whose main function is laziness. 4. A student who knows, loves, and anxiously waits for David Letterman to come on. 5. A student who suffers from senioritis. Senioritis (sen/yar itis), 1. The incurable disease of desiring to graduate from high school without working. 2. Disease can affect a senior only 3. symptoms include: laziness, boredom, lack of sleep, and carelessness. Varsity football players Brian Buehling and Pablo Blanco receive explosive cheers from a rowdy audience. With that boost of confidence players feel more secure about the upcoming game. One, two, three, four, ... Pom pon members Monica Uhm and Kelly Cordes contribute ideas for a new routine while trying to keep count of the one's they have already learned. I Junior Jenny Duda is deeply touched by a compliment she has just received from a friend. Sometimes a few simple words from others can brighten up a student's day. 6 Checking In As Indian fans ' watch atteritively from the bleachers, the Varsity football team prepares for an~ther clever play. Daily practice is required of team members throughout the season. �Mobs of excited students support the Indians as they advance to another victory. School sporting events prove to be popular among NIWeHI students, and usually result In an abundance of attendants. Sophomore punkers Denise Panoutsos and Lilliana Engel discuss how they obtain their lovely hair color. Many strange and unusual sights haunt the hallways on Halloween. Suspense finally comes to an end as the Homecoming King and Queen are announced. Seniors Joy Grossberg and Anthony lrplno enjoy their reign of King and Queen. Checking In 7 �Oral reports are often required of students in many classes. Arthur Khamis and James Lee listen attentively as Tim Ledwon reads his paper to the class . ... Seniors Regardless of how diverse each individual of the class ot ·33 was. they all shared they one common trait were finally SENIORS!!! College appl1cat1ons flooded the desks of these students. and frequent visits with their counselors occurred. This was· the exciting time they had patiently waited for. The discovery of the college they would be attending highlighted the entire year. Other special moments added pleasure and enjoyment to senior life. This time more than ever students were certain to attend events such as the Homecoming dance. football games. Turnabout. and prom. knowing that this would be their final opportunity. Seniors focused their attention upon possibilities for the future. Besides college. various other options were available. The Armed Forces made frequent visits and talked with interested students. Others chose the world of work as their future by searching for full-time " jObS Seniors made their final year at West a memorable one by taking part in the student government. school sports. organizations. and plays. They were definitely a rowdy bunch. always making themselves known at school assemblies as they chanted loudly. "Senior! Seniors!" Senior Jeannine DiModica and fellow classmate catch up on the latest West Word news. Students look forward to reading the school newspaper when it is distributed on Wednesdays. , I Gina Bravos and Ken Munic are stunned by the gossip they hear from a classmate. Students find some free time in their schedules to spend with friends. 8 Division-Seniors �Let's hear it for the senior! Pablo Blanco participates in the excitement at the Homecoming Pep Assembly. Division-Seniors 9 �Enthusiasm rocked the hallways, as school spirit erupted throughout NiWeHi! The feelings of suspense and excitement roared in the gymnasium during pep assemblies. Friends and enemies alike forgot their differences and set out for a common goal, to cheer out teams to victory. The feelings of unity and enthusiasm were evident as the flocks of student crammed into the gymnasium. Explosions of red and white bodies filled the once empty bleachers. Fans yelled, screamed, and of course, chanted the school spirit songs. School spirit was not only shown at the pep assemblies, but throughout the entire week leading up to the games. The Midnight Riders displayed much school spirit throughout the season. They went on toilet paper frenzies at varsity athletes' houses to inspire positive winning attitudes. Homecoming week arrived, bringing with it mobs of psyched Indians. Hundreds of painted students went on a spirit warpath to express their enthusiasm. Activites for the week consisted of dress up days which involved class levels wearing different colors and unusual styles of dress attire, contests for the best toga, greatest putting ability in golf, and the quick football uniform change contest. These were all held to boost spirit and morale. The dedication to school spirit will never die in the hearts of our true-blue, red and white Indians. ���If one were to ask seniors , "What 's new at school? " , they would probably answer, "Not much!" In fact, some would consider the absence of Nibs in the vending machines · or the di~­ continuation of "th'e thought for the day' ' in the daily bulletin as the most significant turn of their high school careers; however , with time comes change, and during the past four years, the senior class has adapted to several transformations within the school. Some alterations were advantageous to students , while others forced students to adjust to different lifestyles at school. Each September, students returned finding at least one aspect of their school different. Some of these changes that the seniors saw during their four year terms " were: A NEWLY REPAVED PARK I NG LOT lacking spe,ed bumps and potholes and providing a smoother ride for C~RS. A CAR, and numerous watches painted on the uninteresting cafeteria wall by several talented STUDENTS . THE STUDENTS' dream of a pop machine was finally realized in 1985 when one was installed in the hall outside of the cafeteria. For many students, the soda replaced school lunches and, hence, created disapproval among the ADM INISTRATION . THE ADM INISTRATION decided to revoke students' privileges of free access in the halls af,ter a series of senior pranks. A new system of closed hall- ways was incorporated to decrease disorder and CLASSROOM DISRUPTION. CLASSROOM DISRUPTION due to hallway noise was a key reason for installing beige carpeting outside classrooms. Besides absorbing sound , it gave a neater appearance to THE HALLWAYS. THE HALLWAYS were painted pink to compliment the tiny bits of pink in the tiles which were covered a year later with CARPETING . While each class might claim to have seen it all, every student will always see the new come in and the old go out. Each year, our school has continued to expand in hopes of creating a perfect environ ment in which students and faculty can learn and work. �O.k., we 're seniors! We've struggled through the difficult years of high school. The so called "blow-off year" has finally arrived, right? Wrong! Plenty of hard work was still ahead for students in their senior year. College preparations made up the bulk of this hard work. Many students failed to realize the importance of meeting application deadlines. "Colleges filled up so quickly, this year more than any. If you missed a deadline, they wouldn't even give you the benefit of the doubt," commented college counselor Frank Mustari. Besides application deadlines, colleges pressured seniors to keep grades up and to choose challenging senior year courses. Colleges commonly refused to admit students who met class rank and test score requirements, but took "push-over classes" and let their grades drop during senior year. Students who had beei:i accepted to a college couldn't afford to let their grades drop either. Even after admission, the colleges kept a close watchful eye on the students' performance in the classroom until graduation. College deadlines and requirements definitely put a strain on seniors. To cope with these pressures, seniors had to continue working as hard as in their previous high school years. , I ���Every year in May, something isn't right. The hallways seem more quiet and less crowded. Freshmen walk unharassed. The senior section of the cafeteria is suddenly uninhabited. Students notice that the seniors have disappeared. The big question is: Where have all the seniors gone??? For many years, seniors have banded together to blow off one day of school, know as Senior Cut Day. On this day, seniors gather together at a beach, the forest preserve, or other favorite outdoor spot to relax and party with their obnoxiously rowdy peers. When asked how long Senior Cut Day has existed, Mr. Albiani responded, "For as long as I can remember." Controversy has arisen over this tradition , and many efforts have been made to stop this unruly behavior. "I don't see anything wrong with Senior Cut Day," commented junior Estelle Nikolakakis. " Seniors deserve a day off anyway." However, the deans and administration feel differently about the situation . They have tried to deter this one day strike with extra long detensions and suspensions, but the seniors always seem to prevail. "I hope Senior Cut Day will still be a tradition when I'm a senior," stated freshman Geoff Pyter. �Some seniors have very unusual names. Some don't. We've taken some of those not so unusual names and made them unusual. Don't you think it would be funny if: SCOTT was an EVE instead of ari ADAMS SARI was a BARBER instead of a BAKER SHERI was a HOT DOG instead of a BERGER PABLO was a NEGRO instead of a BLANCO MELANIE was a CIRCLE instead of a BLOCK PETE was a ROME instead of an ATHANS ALLISON was a RIVER instead of a BROOKS ANGIE was a BLACK instead of a BROWN . KELLY was a JEANS instead of a CORDES TRACI was a WASHER instead of a DREIER ANN was a BOWLER instead of a FISHER DANNY was a RED instead of a GOLD LISA was a WEEKDAY instead of a HALLIDAY HELEN was a STOMACH instead of a HART BRIAN was an IRAQ instead of an ISRAEL BRAD was a HOLE instead of a CAVE JACK was a REEF instead of a CORAL ANNA was a LEVI instead of a LEE TOMMY was a JUNE instead of a MAY BRIAN was a BUDWEISER instead of a MILLER CHARLOTTE was a FOREST instead of a PARK GREG was a SINGIN' instead of a RAPPIN HERB was a CARTER instead of a REGAN DEBORAH was a TURKEY instead of a RUBIN GWEN was a DANCER instead of a SINGER TRACEY was a BOW instead of a SPEAR ABBY was a MOON instead of a STAR EMILY was a NOPE instead of a YEP JEAN was a ME instead of a YOO ���Toilet paper, heaps and heaps of soft toilet paper, was found thrown over the trees and bushes. Senior Midnight Riders scurried silently in the darkness of the night. Every evening before a football, soccer, or basketball game, a group of dedicated senior girls took a couple of hours to bake cookies, make creative posters, and gather up rolls and rolls of toilet paper to decorate the players' houses. These acts boosted the spirit not only of the players, but also allowed these girls to actively participate in bringing spirit to all of NiWeHi. Commenting on the spirited group are some of the senior Midnight Riders. "Midnight Riding allowed me to get involved in school spirit. It was a great feeling the next morning when the players told us that we did a great job teepeeing their houses. It made me feel appreciated and totally psyched me up for those Friday night games," stated Cathy Smith. Another senior rider, Amy Fullet, added , " Sometimes the players didn't get enough credit for all their hard work. Having their houses tee-peed let them know that we cared and appreciated all of their efforts." Even though Midnight Riding was not always compatible with the Riders' schedules, this activity still allowed them to participate in school spirit, even after the school day ended at NiWeHi! �What are they?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Freshmen eventually become accustomed to such rituals, knowing that one day their turn to sit in the senior section of the cafeteria will arrive. - ..... Freshmen Dozens after dozens of ; frightened. yet eager freshman faces scanned the unfamiliar hallways of Niles West. Incoming students were confronted with new faces. unaccustomed sounds. and a terrible case of the "high 1 school Jitters ... The very first thing that freshmen learned in high ; school was that 1t 1s an en- ' tirely different experience from their grammar school years. More homework was I one of the many changes they discovered . Students ; now had to set aside more 1 time for homework and · studying . An increased effort was found to be a necessity• for ac <i rlemir success. Freshmen also found it d1ff1cult to adapt to a larger school. Happenings such as sporting events. school plays. and of course . the : Freshman-Sophomore Mixer . helped students to break the ice and meet new people. As the year progressed . freshmen found themselves feeling more c omfortable with the school environment rather than feeling pressured by 1t. Many close and · intimate friendships developed among students . and previous fears disappeared. Freshmen became accustomed to a new way of life . and the "high school Jitters " slowly faded away . Gym classes are an entirely different experience for freshmen compared to the gym classes offered at their junior highs. A freshman student finds the equipment in the gymnastics room to be rather entertaining. The Frosh-Soph Mixer provides students with their first taste of high school dances. Many intimate friendships develop that are sure to last throughout high school. 76 Division-Freshmen �Freshmen Earl Worthmann and Theresa Danguilan share an intimate dance at the Frosh-Soph Mixer.

Division-Freshmen 77 �On The Line For the fifth time that evening, the telephone rang and Suzy Ayerhead leaped up to answer it. Like the rest of the calls t hat night. it came from one of her friends calli ng to make plans for the forthcoming weekend, compare homework, or just gossip. Many students like Suzy employed t he telephone to enhance both their social and academic lives. "Nearly every night, I talked on the phone about school, work, and various subjects," claimed Jeannine DiModica. Calling a classmate on the phone remai ned a convenient way to obtain help with homework. Marla Schrager added , "When I didn't understand my assignment. I usually called one of my friends, and they were able to teach me over the phone. " While many teenagers used the phone exclusively for their own needs, many employed it for emergency purposes. When running late, students found the phone a great way t o notify parents that they wouldn 't be arriving on time for their dinner or curfew. Because underclassmen lacked driver's licenses, they often needed to call home to ensure a ride from after school activities. Since its invention in 1876, by Alexander Graham Bell, the telephone has become a vital part of many lives. Because of the phone's convenience and easy access, many students relied upon it for personal, academic, and emergency purposes. By using the phone, communication was as simple as pushing seven buttons. n Deepa Achettu Alonso Acosta Vicky Adam Marale Adjemian Eric Alper Dawn Angus ..., .

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

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

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

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

The goal of attaining 100 pints of blood was reached with ease as donors eagerly swarmed the Oakton Lobby to give blood .

And contrary to what I thought, I felt fine afterwards, " said Mrs. Horwitz of the blood draining process. Donating a pint of blood was a small part of her contribution toward the success of the Blood Drive. Mrs. Horwitz along with Mr. Boevers was involved with organizing the Blood Drive. By the end of the day, not only was the sponsor's goal fulfilled , but the donors themselves felt a sense of a ccomplishment.

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

The purpose of the mixer was for the more than 300 attending to attempt the nearly impossible task of meeting all the others. The theme was Woodstock, and the common dress was the latest style of tie-dyed shirts. To liven up the party, some sophomores wore togas. Doughnuts were served as refreshments , and as a break from the dancing, the people went into the courtyard and chatted with old and new found friends. At 9 :00 as the last chord of the evening was played, students reluctantly inched out and freshman Robin Yu commented , " The mixer should have been longer." Many others agreed .

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

Niles West is sorry to see them leave. but we are certain that they will succeed in their future en- deavors. " After four long years of anticipation of leaving many seniors still felt that they would miss Niles West. Joe Bass stated, "As much as I couldn't wait to graduate and get out ot this so-called "Jail" , I know I will miss NiWeHi. I had some great times here. " Many graduates left Niles West with mixed feelings of nos- talgia for the past and anticipation of the future . Some Seniors couldn 't wait to get out of high school, while oth· ers left Niles West reluctant· ly. Whether those students graduated Niles West feeling happy or sad, the Class of '87 will always be a part of the school. �Valedictorian Nancy Goren. delivers her speech at the Graduation ceremonies last June.

The gymnasium rang with chaotic thunder on October 5, as spotlights flew around the gym and added a sense of excitement to the occasion - The Homecoming Assembly. The noise didn't cease after the introduction s had begun, and the music and videoscreens brought forth everyone's interest.

Exploding with enthusiasm, the spirit committees: Porn Pons, Cheerleaders, and Midnight Riders lead cheers which echoed throughout the parade.

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

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

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

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

Members of the company choreographed the various dances and alumni-sponsor Gretchen Galder took charge of the overall direc- tion of the production. The show differed from past years in that it contained a special number for the twelve senior members leaving the company. Sponsor Gretchen Glader voiced regrets about have a senior dance, saying, "I can't stand seeing all the dancers I' ll be losing next year at one time." Finally, the dancers each took their bows to the tune of "Dancing in the Street", and ran into the aisles, still dancing with the same energy and enthusiasm that filled the show. The two hours of entertainment came to an end as the dancers concluded their performance and the curtain closed behind them. �"Late Night With the Orchesis Dance Co. concludes with a dramatic pose. ending another year of hard work and determination.

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

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

The season began early each day for the sophomores and freshman with 7:30 a.m. double practice sessions that lasted until 1:00 p.m. Many valuable lessons and ideals learned by the young gridders stemmed from these grueling workouts. The sophomores opened the year winning two of their first three games. Following the Varsity coaching strategy, coaches Murphy and Schmidt employed the platoon system to the fullest. The sophomores, already acquainted with the system. will enter junior year as we lcome additions. Besides getting a taste of the game, the freshmen learned to enjoy the competition and camaraderie of high school football.

Victories over Niles North at home on cable, close games with Deerfield, beating St. Scholastica in the regionals, and having a great final game against Evanston highlighted the season for the team . Coach Paula Sfickas stated "Although the team record may not show we had a successful season, the progress and teamwork showed by the team made it a winning season for me.

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

Though there might not have been a powerful girls' swim team these last few years, this fall a handful! of individuals proved the season a worthwhi le one. Key swimmers for the Indians included senior varsity capta in Wendy Martin who, despite her bad shoulder, pulled through the season in the 200 Medley relay, 100 Fly, and 200 l.M. Senior Mary Theodore, also a main swimmer, took good care of the 200 yard free and 500 yard free. Junior Patty Tzortzis excelled considerably by switching over to the sprints. "I'm very happy that coach Lucas agreed to put me in the freestyle sprints. The 200 yard free and the 500 yard free seemed to be a little bit too long for me. As I've been told by coach Lucas time after time, when they make up a 150 yard freestyle event, I 'II be the first to sign up, until then, I'm going to stick with anchoring the Medley relay, and swimming the 50 yard and 100 yard free." Two key swimmers were newcomers this year. Niles North transfer Miki Vucic, a junior, .earned many points for the · Indians in the 200 Medley relay, 200 Individual Medley, and the 100 Fly. Sophomore Jessica Western also gave the team an extra boost in the 200 Medley relay and the 100 breastroke. Practices were led by assi·stant coach Jodi Nebbia, who made sure everyone 182 Girl"s Swimming started by 3:00 p.m. Practice usually consisted of a warm up, some sprints, long distance, and a cool down, which roughly averaged to 5000 yards a day. "Since our yardage has slightly increased from last year, I feel that it has given the team an extra push towards the winning way," stated sophomore Joan Jovero. Jovero helped considerably in the 200 yard and 500 yard freestyle, and is a second year member of the varsity team. She concluded, "I feel our team was better organized due mostly to our coaches and to our three outstanding captains, seniors Wendy Martin, Mary Theodore, and junior Marny Pierini. They helped make sure our practices were always challenging, enjoyable, and most importantly, worthwhile. Diving coach Louis Torrez once again proved to have a successfu l season with his divers.

In the lead, Steve Rosen finally made his way. A good pace, a good pair of running shoes, and a lot of suffering put him in front. Accelerated Abilities The cross country season got off to a slow start but gradually stabilized. In the pre-season, three members quit, ruining an almost definite conference title. But due to hard work and dedication, the team pulled together and did their best. Led by junior Marty Bach and senior Steve Rosen the team placed much higher in meets than expected. At conference time, Bach had run 15: 19 for three miles, making him the favorite for first place. Bach ended up second after giving his all. Ro sen was expected to place in the top seven to be all conference , and ended up with a ninth place finish. In the summer, the team started working double practices along with running road runs to prepare for the season. With the help of other runners including senior Bryan Mittleman and juniors Ken Smith , Tim Hieber, and Keith McMath, the team held it's own. The freshman and sophomore teams were led by Brian Moreth and Oscar Palacios. Both runners led their teams on to wins and were occasionally moved up to the varsity or sophomore levels. With wind blowing through their hair, toes pointed in the air, and time running, Brian Morreth and his opponents try to out run one another.

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

Team Captain Debbie Berman thought she would have been a more qualified player if Niles West had had a Varsity tennis team during her underclass years. She would have had a goal to aim for. According to Nancy Penn, next year's capta in , "The team played hard, never gave up and looks forward to a great year."

The varsity team also captured the conference and regional titles winning the 16 Team Glenbrook South Invite and taking second place in the Leyden Tournament. The Indians also claimed four regional champions: John Lee , 105; Greg Rudin, 112; Scott D'agostino, 126; Angelo Tsagalis, HVWT.

At the teams sectional at Leydan, the Indians fell short of the State Tournament, losing to the sixth ranked Lake Park Lancers, by the slightest of margins. Rudin, Lee, and D'Agostino advanced to the IHSA state tournament held in Champaign, Illinois. As a junior, Rudin had placed fourth in the State Tournament, but, in his Senior year he missed a good portion of the season battling mononucleosis. Eventually he recovered and took third place in the State Finals. Senior ·Preston Clark stated, "We all worked hard and achieved the goals that we set forth."

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

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

The hardware became a tool for the display of style, grace, and beauty. A flat mat became an ocean on which the girls danced and soared . On the bars and vault, the girls floated , turning flips as smoothly as dolphins in the sea. Although gy mna st i cs seems to be an individual sport, when competitions rolled around , all the individuals combined to form one powerful representation of the teamwork needed for success. The season went smoothly, with the team performing consistently and confidently. A tough loss to Highland Park was avenged at . the Conference Meet, where the team tied for second place. The season ended with a 6 win- 3 loss record, a "flip-flop " of last year's results and a " leap" of two places from fourth in the Conference. The strength of all four levels led the team to its winning record , and the promise of the freshmen and sophomores gives the team a chance to develop into a first rate competitor. With their outstanding performances, sophomores Laura Bowman and Barbara Kozlowski showed the bright future in store for the team.

Favored to win the CSL conference title and place in the top five of the state, the Indians missed both of these goals due to the crippling injury that Tom Joseph received at the end of the season. Pulling together, the team redeemed tl-:emselves by stealing the regional title from Highland Park, the conference champions.

For the first time ever in Illinois, the Illinois High School had sanctioned a girls state soccer tournament, and the IHSA chose Niles West to host it because in the past years, Niles West had organized a local tournament, consisting of teams in our division. Taking pride in the IHSA giving NiWeHi the honor of hosting the tournament , Varsity Coach Brennan stated , " We are the pioneer school of soccer, and I'm excited they chose our school for the first girls state soccer tournament in the history of Illinois." The decision also impressed the members of the varsity team. Senior player Karin Janessa commented, " As a four year member on the team, I take this decision as an honor. I'll always remember that IHSA chose my alma mater to hold the first girls state tournament." A great block is made by Kristina Lall while an opposing teammate stares in awe.

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

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

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

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

" Songs were fun , but serious things were also taking place. One of the most important events that hap· pened was Freshman Orientation, held on August 26 and 27. The Freshman entered the school , many for the first time, and left knowing their way around the entire building. As always, the " Freshies" went to the B-100 room for a scholastic test and a hearing test in the library. They also picked up their books and school l.D.'s. For the first time, Freshman yearbook pictures were taken during Orientation . In past years , they were taken on the same days as Sopho· • 4 - 0penlng senior commented, " Getting books used to be a real hassle. We had to wait in line a the bookstore, even longer than i took to return them. I'm glad they changed ." The cafeteria served many pur poses for students aside from eat ing, such as chit·chatting, relax ing, and doing homework. Nobod would be scolded for talking t loud, while in the library, conversation was practically prohibited. " Taking the school bus was a unique experience," explained Freshman John Passman. " On occasions there was a substitute bus driver who was different from the rest. He had WCKG blasting on the radio and was dressed like a teenager. But our usual driver was real quiet and avoided talking to us." From Orientation to getting books, from eating lunch to riding the bus, another year at Niles North started with positive attitudes and new ideas.

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

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

Teachers solved and helped the students ' problems and troubles in the time of their need. Computers brought a different type of aid to the students . • 96 - Academics �In order for the Niles North academic sys· tern to work effectively and cohesively, a ring of six important factors were strung together to form an end product of great minds as well as great people. Each factor contrl· buted to support the others In their own special way. The school administrators, the first factor, dis· cussed and solved the overhead of the educa· tional and financial de- clsions concerning the student body, teach· ers, and school itself. The second factor, the teachers, combined their love in teaching and their knowledge to build up the students' motivation to learn. Students, the third fac· tor, were molded to their potential by all other factors. They had to be responsible and dedicated In order to truly learn the ac· cepted material. The next factor, the class Department and School Board Teachers Students Classroom Facilities Field Trips/ Special Programs Candids 98 100 102 104 106 108 110 activities, were de· signed to expand and enlighten the students' potential. Class actlvi· ties created a bursting appetite for the quest of knowledge. Faclli· ties, the fifth factor, capitlvated the stu· dents· interest in com· puters and musical in· truments as well as wide exposure to the physical facilities as the fitness room and swimming pool. Last· ly, the final factor, the field trips and special programs were devel· oped to broaden the students' horizon in understanding the con· troversial issues in drugs and aids as well as taking the outside look in what they want to pursue. These fac· tors worked efficient· ly, only if they were put together as a sys· tern. Niles North aca· demic system had proven to excel poten· tially. waiting to ex· plode In the world. Jenny Ro I \ Division Page - 97 • �" Niles North is dedicated to a pro· gram of comprehensive education preparing students for life's work and leisure." This was the motto seen on the walls of the school throughout the year. Both the school board and the administra· tion worked together to help make Niles North operate. The board members who were elected , de· spite the numerous number of write in votes were newcomer John Lartz, Florence Sutker who served as a board for three and half years and incumbents Saul Weiner and Jonathan Minkus. Early in the school year the school board asked Superintendent Ken· neth Olsen to resign giving no spe· cific reason . John Hinck became the new superintendent. The Niles North administration as Mr.Giles stated " Is a link and a chain , each person having a re· sponsibility to help make the school operate." All Niles North directors shared common respon· sibilities. Directors had to make sure each teacher ha< a certain number of classes. Thty also had two years to evaluate each teach· er in their department on their Attending athlet ic events was one respon· sibility of directors.

Each director also super· vised extracurricular activities within the school. They shared the responsibility of attending both home and away athletic events, concerts, dances, and other activi· ties. Once a week a team meeting was held in which the directors shared information and tried to solve problems in each depart· ment. " The greatest problem ," Dr.Schusteff said, "was not every student comes out of the same course with the same knowledge because of different ways of teaching." The administration 's goal was to prepare students for college and to help them survive in society. Debbie De Salvo Graduation was exciting for both students and administration. Jonathan Mlnkus.

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

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

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

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

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

It was a great means of meeting many people and making new friends. Frequent club meetings broke up the usual routine of going to school, going from class to class, and going home. Several clubs benefited the individual member. Foren- sics was designed to improve an individual's speaking ability which would be beneficial throughout life. The Medical Club learned C.P.R.. a skill which is a "lifesaver." Other clubs benefited the student body.

The Parent-Teacher Student Association was a club in which parents were provided with a way to participate in their child's education. Throughout the year, the members of the PTSA met each month to discuss school issues. " Our goal was to try to enhance education and build a greater communication between parents, students, and faculty, " explained Mary Mur· phy. The PTSA not only helped students during their high school career, but attributed to their college as well . Two available scholarships were awarded to graduating seniors who best deserved them for their ach ievemets during their years at Niles North. " Throughout the year the PTSA sponsored a variety of educational programs such as having the State Superintendent of Education speak to parents and faculty, " stated President Sue Tessler. Money raised for scholarships was obtained through the selling of entertainment books and scholarship cards as well as the selling of refreshments at the football games. "I hope that next year more parents will become involved in the PTSA," remarked Mrs. Sue Tessler. • Student interaction was necessary for a complete view . Jordan Kagan offers his opinion concerning community affairs . 130 - Organizations �BAND BOOSTER CLUB The Band Booster Club supported the band financially as well as in spirit. One of their main functions was to distribute and col· lect marching band uniforms at the begin· ning and end of the season. The Band Booster Club helped to financially support trips. The band played in two musical com· petitions in 1987. Many important school as well as community issues were discussed and acted upon by the PTSA. Thomas Giles. Sue Tessler, and Shirley Becker look over a new proposal. ATHLETI C BOOSTER CLUB The Athletic Booster Club was started to support athletes regardless of their record. The 200 members of the Booster Club consisted mainly of parents who tried to increase school spirit of other parents and students during the sports seasons . "We raised money by selling t·shirts, hats, mittens, and work· ing the concession stand during home games," remarked Presi· dent Martha Cooley. The Booster Club awarded two senior girls and two senior boys a $250.00 scholarship in 1987. The Club sponsered the three award night dinners at the end of each season. The Club was also there to help, if money was available, to supplement summer camps for athletes. "When a team made conference, sectional , regional, or state divisions we bought t·shirts for the team members, remarked Mrs. Coo· Iey. Officers included President Martha Cooley, Treasurer Marge Sikorski, and Secretary Carol Salenger. The Athletic Booster Club met the third Tuesday of each month to discuss future activities. Students were a major part of the PTSA. Jordan Kagan and Yana Glnberg participate in deciding future events. Principal Thomas Giles took time out of his busy schedule to take part in hearing the views of the PTSA.

Homecoming was possibly the most fun time we had during the school year . • 132 - Special Events �E One of the best things about Niles North are the special events and activities avail· able to students. These range from pruentatlons about aids, to internetlonal week, to graduation. Throughout these activities there w111 a feeling of friend· ship and teemwork. Even though some of the students didn't - the feelings, they were there. One of the aspects of friend· ship la helping others. The ways that the 1tudent1 were helped was through interna· tionel week and the elda presenta tlon.

Marching Band Concert Band Orchestra / Choral Music/ Theatre candids Student Congress Activities International Week The Theatre performers worked as 11 team to provide us with something enjoyable to watch. Many hours of rehearul went Into the plays. The same goes for the Aur· orls dancers. It takes a lot of physical effort and team· work to put out their dances. Homecoming and Prom showed us that we have a lot of friendship and teamwork by the amount of people that showed up, by the way the floats were decorated, the way the teams played, and the amount of couples that appeared at Prom. Also, a lot of effort and planning went into making all of the arrangements. Graduation was the final ceremony of four years of work, friendship , and com· mltment. We dreamed of our graduation since our first day as a freshman. Those four years will prepare us for a harder life after high school. Throughout the school year new friendships formed. relationships grew stronger, and the teamwork was there. Although friendship between the students and faculty wasn't very appar· ent, it was there. These friendships helped to make the special events and the entire school year more en· joyable. llllk:hael Rynes 150 152 154 156 158 160 Division Page - 133 • �FLAS HDAN CE Helen Rakhnovich, Julie Perlman, and Lori Shechter warm up before practicing the ir routine.

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

A rubber hand, used in Ora· cula 's experiment, was unique. 144 - Special Events Master Landau (Brian Pomper) takes Miss Nai ve (lri t Levit) and .her students, Luke (Scott Topper), Kell y (Sonya Park), and Elvis (Brain Sherman) through the eerie streets of Transyl vania. Josh Alsberg publ icized the show by entering a car in the Homecom· ing parade, the car won first place in it's division . The car was com· pleted with Doug Mytnik in cos· tume as Dracula and a coffin with a dummy inside. A huge poster hung outside the auditorium fac· ing the Edens Expressway . Cast members walked around the school in costume to help pro· mote the play . Sponsors helped finance the play , which was a first for the Niles North Theater De· partment. As usual , there was a publ ici ty bl itz of show posters all over downtown Skok ie.

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

One thing I liked about my costume was the cape, but I guess I was just meant to wear a cape . . . " - Doug Mytnik On April 3 and 4, it all happened "Once Upon A Matress" was the musical chosen for Niles North's spring play. A take-off on " The Princsess and the Pea," the attendance at the play was "surprising and overwhelming," according to Lauren Kurtz, who played one of the Ladies·in Waiting. The play contained three different plots, involving the prince Steven Singer.and the princess Jacki Greenberg. In keeping with the tradition of "The Princess and the Pea," the princess was the last of many to pass the unfair test given by the queen Jennifer Berman. This test involved not only a pea,but also a birdcage, spears, and suitcases. "Almost everyone got along really well with everyone else, which helped the over· all production of the play," commented Doug Mytnik in reference to the entire cast. "I had a fantastic time working with Edward Mussman and Scott Hirschman. " The three of us would try to make each other laugh, even on stage." The sub-plots in the play were equally amusing and entertaining.according to Joann Prekezes: "Whae I enjoyed most about the play was Scott Hirschman's miming. He couldn't speak at all because of a curse and the other character had to guess everything he was saying," she re· called. Needless to say, the hard work and long hours paid off, and the play was obviously a great success - not only for those who were in it, but for the audience as well. Marilyn Devedjiev • 148 - Special Events Elaborate costumes were an important part in making the play a success.

Theatre - 149 • �After wearing the same uniforms for more than eight years, the Niles North Marching Vikings decided to introduce a new look. Recently, they replaced their marching pants with bermuda shorts. "We wore bermuda shorts to grab the audiences' attention " , stated Abe Lee. Although the Marching Band wore boxer shorts for only the first football game, they tried to do something different at every game. Not every difference was visual like the first game. The differences were mostly musical instead of visual. The music consisted of pop songs instead of the contemporary band songs. This year several band students attended a "marching band " camp at the University of Wisconsin, Whitewater, to brush up on some skills. Norfo Fujikawa, Jorie Perez, Mary Liz Bartels, and Heather Scheck went to the camp to learn how to be drum majors. Alex Sukoy and Jenny Pellman used the camp opportunity to improve their percussion skills. Philip Weiss went to learn everything there was to know about car leadership skills. For a week these students attended classes, thirteen hours each day, with breaks for lunch and dinner. Every night there was an entertaining show which only allowed four to five hours of sleep a night. " Even though we knew we were only getting five hours of sleep, it was the drive that kept us going'', stated Norlo Fujikawa. The last day at camp, they had the summer national marching band competition . Three aspects made the marching band more enjoyable in 1987.

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

In fact, Student Con· gress elected two members to re· present the school at the School Board, PTSA, EPAC, and TRY meetings. Two chosen members were rewarded with $500 scholar· ships to a political trip to U.S. Con· gress. As a whole Congress was designed to hear the students' voice and respond to them with support. The Student Appeals Board was then developed to uphear justice. "I think Student Congress was a great challenge for me.

"As long as I know they're trying, I remain patient and encourage them.", stated Coach Pete Christie. The basketball players started out competitive with high spirits. Unfortu· nately, the basketball team went into a slump of losing by four or less points in most of their games and remained in that slump. With the bad came the good memories. For exam· pie, "When the team beat Niles West or in a game against Mundelein, Mitch Jacobson was running out on the court for pre-game warm·ups, and he tripped over a sophomore's foot. He landed on his face and kept on going on all fours." recalled Al Winkler Good form with the ability to jump high made it possible to score a basket.

Their twenti· eth victory for the Girls' Basket· ball had finally come true. They had come a long way in order to achieve their determined goal. With long and vigorous practices everyday, the girls had built their stamina to triumph over their competitors, and nothing was going to stand in their rampage. "This year's team was probably the second finest group of players ever in this school's history." commented Coach Clarence Flor· ence. Three important factors led the Varsity Team to a 21 ·5 victory. The majority of the team were ex· perienced and skillful players. " We had to set a good example in terms in skills and discipline for Strategic plays were used to lead the team into victory.

The J .V. squad, coached by Suzanne Colantonio, ended the season with a record of 3 wins and 13 losses. Most valuable J.V. play· er, Debbie De Salvo, commented, "Encouraging team members helped us continue to work hard. Winning the last three games made our practices and hard ef· fort worthwhile. " The Freshman team , like the others, was held together not only by coach Chris Busch but by the spirit that always seemed to be present during games and practices. Varsity member, Lauren Kurtz. remarked, "Even though we didn't win as many games as we would have liked to, I'm still happy with the way everyone worked together. The team always stuck together.

All tbe members of the team were impor· tant, but the essential participants were Todd Kantorezyk and Eric Salinger. Practices were held everyday after school for two to three hours. They contributed everyday and grew stronger with every practice. Swimmers broke their own re· cords and did better than before. "The look on a swimmers face when he had broken his previous record, or achieved what he couldn't achieve before was just as memorable as any victory " exclaimed Coach Sandstead.

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

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