Most people spend much of their time waiting for one thing or
another. 1986 was also filled with periods of long, empty spaces.
They are unavoidable. Stand and wait. Sit and wait. And wait

Better Comes After Wait
Every moment seemed
like an hour. The eyes
roamed restlessly around
the room, searching for
some secret sign . The
clock on the wall said only
one minute had passed,
yet . it seemed a hundred
times longer.
Waiting. People spend a
great portion of their lives
waiting for someone,
something, or some time.
A large part of a school
day was also spent
waiting. And waiting.
And waiting.
First, students had
to wait to go to class.
Steel black gates
near the main entrance restricted entry into academic
areas until 7:15 a.m .
Unless one had a
pass, he was not allowed through. Mr.
Jones, the principal,
blocked the hallways
near the office lobby, cutting off any
potential offenders.
"The gates make
you feel like you're in
prison. Just because you
get here early, you are
punished by not being allowed to go to your locker," said senior Jean Germinaro.
After the day had officially begun, it was passed
in an endless cadence of
bells. Waiting for the bells
to ring became the occupation of all. Not many sat
in anxious anticipation to

get into class and begin
working, but often students would be poised for
flight with five minutes
left in the period. Some
teachers, unhappy with
the turn of events, would
make students perch until
they excused the class
after the bell.
"We're in high school
now, not elementary. We
should be treated like
high school kids and be al-

exit for the last five minutes of each period .
Teachers lucky enough
not to have a homeroom
were stuck with hall monitor duty. Some blocked
students in the commons
from leaving. Others
stood near the main entrance and kept those
coming back from lunch
on the outside from getting into the hallways before the bell.
Whenever the
halls were crowded,
people stood waiting
for a friend. The distinctive roving eyes
and tense posture
denoted a waiting
person. Quick, furtive glances to a
clock or a watch
completed the picture.
Students were always waiting in the
attendance office.
Those who were late
to class, to school, or
had skipped a period
or two were called in
to explain themselves to
the school's disciplinarians, Mr. Kranen and Mr.
Cohan. Punishment
ranged from detention to
in-school suspension.
"Hurry up and wait!"
was a apt way to describe
a typical day. It seemed
that there was always
something which slowed
everything up. But, just

Beth Reimer.
During fourth and fifth

anxious to get out as they.

This Is It! Yes, that's right!
It's finally arrived! Enjoy it
while it's here or it will be
lost!
Student life. It was a
"now" happening. Every
moment of every day, students lived the zany life of a
teenager in the hallowed
halls of Bradford High.
Life began again on August
30, 1985, at the SPY Dance.
The dance officially kicked
off the social life of 1986.
Dances like the Turkey Trot,
Coaches-Dance-A-Thon,
and Ten Most-Wanted-Men
Dance highlighted many Friday evenings throughout the
year.
Hours spent after school
were common for many. Detention had a fair number of
teenagers populating Room
154 every afternoon. Athletes practiced in the gym
with their coaches after a
seven hour class load. Thespians rehearsed diligently in
the auditorium for a few
hours, always working on
some new project. Of
course, most clubs met after
school to decide how to
spend the money they had
raised from their M&M sale.
Assemblies abounded
during 1986. From a humorfilled, motivational program

by speaker Bill Sanders, to
the winter sports assembly
where "The Wave" was formally introduced, to the return of speaker Dave Roever, students were bombarded by a barrage of free
entertainment.
However, the passage of
time spent out of class at a
specific event was not the
only student life. The daily
rat race composed a majority
of student life . Racing
through the haJls to make it
to class before the bell, milling in the commons before
school, and spending lunch
hours in the library working
on a term paper were a part
of it. Decorating classroom
doors for the Christmas contest, guessing the theme of
the "Word of the Day" contest, and smelling the tantalizing (and sometimes nauseating) aromas coming from
the foods classes were also a
part of it. The little things
that often get forgotten in
the larger picture were what
made 1986 so much better.
1986 was a slice of the better life. Every moment of every day was a part of the student life experience. Don't
look for any more, don't
look for any less because

The long hot summer . . .

TOPS WITH START
hapes,
sizes, and
sexes
varied.
Shorts
and tee shirts, jeans
and sweatshirts, or
even a skirt or two
covered them. The
first came boldly forth,
knowingly following
the ritual. The last
came hesitantly,
almost shyly, afraid of
doing something
wrong. Registration
confused many
unknowing teens.
Registration is a
process that occurs
annually. In January,
decisions about classes
and credits were
made. During the long
summer, class
decisions and school
were distant in the
minds of many. One
small sheet, called a
newsletter, reminded
all.
During the second
week in August, on
August 7, 8, and 9,
1985, fall registration
was held. August 12
was held as a make up
day.
Seniors were
scheduled to come in
first. For most, the
registering process
was old hat. Most
came in comfortable
old outfits because
they did not need
their picture taken for
the yearbook. After
the formalities were
over, many seniors
would sit at the tables
in the commons area
and talk with friends.
A casual atmosphere
filled with fun was the
norm.
"I sat with my
friends and we
gossipped about how

everyone had changed
over the summer. It
was so weird because
I came in and
registered and then it
hit me - I was a
senior," said Carole
Morrill.
Juniors dressed for
the occasion. Most
had already had their
picture taken for their
identification card but
still had to have their
yearbook picture
taken. Lacy blouses,
bright sweaters,
button-down shirts
and polos covered old
jeans, shorts and
tennis shoes. Why
look nice on the
bottom? It wasn't in
the picture!
"It was a lot better
coming back as a
junior. I knew where
everything was and I
didn't feel like some
stupid little
sophomore," said
Shelby Puntillo.
The third day

brought the
sophomores. High
school was new to all
of these young men
and women, and
frankly, they were
scared. Sophomores
tended to stand
around trying to act
like they knew what
they were doing.
However, as soon as a
friend from junior
high appeared, the
sophomore would
overflow like a creek
in springtime and
babble for hours.
Sophomore Matt
Larson said, "It was
hard, but I knew quite
a few people. I didn't
think I'd find my way
around, but once I got
there it was not bad."
Many groups set up
tables in the cafeteria,
where registration was
held, to recruit new
members. The cross
country team, Drama
Club and Key Club
were a few. Some

groups just taped sign
up sheets on tables
for interested parties
to sign. Others, like
Drama Club, manned
a table and actively
recruited those
passing.
"When I worked
the Key Club table,
we had a scrapbook
that had pictures of
the different things
we've done. That
made it easier to
recruit people
because they could
see what we did," said
senior Diane
Thomson. "With cross
country, we talked to
people and told them
about it. We tried to
get them to try it. We
told them what cross
country was all
about."
The SPY also
manned a table during
registration. Seniors
Linda Becker and Ron
Kelly and junior
Heather LeMay, as

well as advisor Marvin
Modder, sat through
four days of peddling
yearbooks.
Hassles were also a
part of the registration
process. It seemed
that even if a student
got everything exactly
the way he wanted it,
it was wrong.
However, the
administration did not
want to print 1800
schedules again and
would only honor
schedule changes that
they deemed
necessary. Proving that
it was necessary wasn't
always easy.
"I didn't realize I
was a half credit short
until I registered in
the fall. I had to drop
my fourth hour lunch.
Luckily, I was able to
get on photography
staff," said senior
Shelley Dersnah. "I
had to get practically
two million people to
sign sheets and letters
to get the half credit,
but it was worth it."
The best thing
about registering was
that it was quick and
relatively painless. It
was a necessary evil
that was the easiest
for students, parents
and faculty. +br Linda

OP 'TIL YOU DROP
ittersweet.
That
was the
feeling brought to the
students attending the
annual SPY Dance.
Students came to the
school on Friday,
September 30, which
fell on Labor Day
Weekend, to receive
their yearbooks and
perhaps see friends
they had not seen all
summer. For some
students it was the
first dance they
attended as Bradford
students. For others, it
was the last.
Students were both
happy and sad to be
at the dance that
night. For those
students who felt that
the summer was
getting too long and
boring, the SPY Dance
was a relief because it
marked the beginning
of another school year
complete with new
friends. For others, it
was a painful reminder
that soon they would
only be able to go out
on weekends and
would be spending
their weeknights
doing homework.
The evening began
at six o'clock with the
distribution of the '85
SPYs. Students picked
their yearbooks up
from SPY staff
members in the
kitchen. Most seemed
to think that this
system of distribution
was quick and easy.
"I think everything
went smoothly. People
didn't come all at
once, so it wasn't too
crowded," said junior
Lisa Giordano.
After receiving their

SPYs, students went
into the commons to
look at the books with
friends. They gathered
in groups at the tables
or on the steps. Some
students wandered
from table to table
chatting with friends
they had not talked to
since school had
ended. Often a
particular picture
sparked a person's
memory of an
experience from the
last year. Snatches of
"I can't believe they
put that in there!" and
"I remember that!"
filled the air.
Some students
searched for pictures
of themselves in the
pages of their SPYs.
Most were embarrassed by any
they found, but they
still couldn't wait to
show their friends.
One picture left

every one guessing.
Bradford's Most
Wanted Man of 1985,
Mike Mattioli, was
shown posing behind
a banner stating his
title. Just what was he
wearing behind that
banner?
The dance began at
eight-thirty in the
fieldhouse. Seniors
Ron Kelly, Lyna
Paukstelis, and Chris
Wolf provided the
music for the students
to dance to.
Said junior Ann
Bishop, "There was a
good variety of music,
a little of everything
so that everyone was
happy."
For the sophomores
this was their first
high-school dance.
Because they didn't
know as many people,
they stayed in small
groups amongst
themselves. Slowly

they started to
recognize some
upperclassmen from
junior high and after
awhile the sophomores were
mixed in with the
juniors, seniors, and
graduates.
Graduates who
weren't already off to
college came to a
Bradford dance for
the last time. They
also had a chance to
talk with friends who
hadn't graduated yet
and wouldn't be
seeing much of in the
months to come.
At the dance new
friendships were
started and maybe
some weak ones made
stronger. Some lucky
few were able to find
a new love out on the
dance floor.
In the fieldhouse it
was extremely hot and
crowded because only

a small portion of the
gym was in use and
there were several
bodies moving at once
in this small area. Also,
outside it was unseasonably warm.
The temperature
stayed in the upper
eighties for the entire
weekend. Many
students spent much
of the night in the
hallway buying cups of
pop and visiting with
friends there.
The dance was
scheduled to end at
eleven o'clock; but
because of the heat,
many students left
early to go to
McDonalds before
going home. Even so,
most people left after
having a good time
and were looking
forward to a fun-filled
year of new friends
and new activities.

IMES OF SPIRIT
he
whistle
blew!
Excited
contestants plunged
their faces into
mounds of chocolate
to find a pecan
somewhere in the
concoction of
pudding and whipped
cream. This was one
event of many which
raised spririt during
our Homecoming
Spirit Week, which
took place September
sixteenth through the
twenty-first.
Another spiritraising event students
could participate in
during their lunch
hour was the Chug-aLug Contest.
Contestants raced to
see who could drink
faster from a baby
bottle.
"It was different but
a lot of fun," said
senior Heather Coss,
winner of the Chug-aLug.
There was also a
tricycle race in which
students, with feet
peddling hard, raced
around the commons
area. ~hat a sight that
was! Then there was
the licorice/
marshmallow contest.
This consisted of
eating a long string of
red licorice with a
marshmallow at the
end. Of course, no
hands allowed! The
last event was the
egg-carrying contest,
in which one had to
carry an egg on a
spoon for a certain
distance.
Also during the
week, students had
the chance to dress

12 Student Life

costumes. Each day
had a different theme,
including "Fifties
Day," "Favorite
Personality Day,"
"Hawaiian Day,"
"Twins Day," and the
popular "Black and
Red Day."
The traditional
voting for king and
queen and their
courts went on during
the week. Each club
had an opportunity to
nominate a king and
queen candidate from
the senior class.
Students then voted
and the candidates
were narrowed down
to the lucky ten .
On Friday morning
the student body
gathered into the
fieldhouse to view the
crowning of the king
and queen. The choir
sang, the band played,
and the pompon girls
and cheerleaders
performed. Next, the
couples strolled
regally down the

white carpet toward
the dais where they
would be honored.
Court candidates
included Sherri
Behringer, Jenny
Johnson, Beth Lichter,
Amber O'Conner,
Carrie Tabbert, Joe
Barrette, Armand
Bonofiglio, Louie
Caira, Ryan Cooks,
and Dan Esposito. This
year's miniature king
and queen, Brad
Kostreva and Stacy
Lasco, carried the
crown and medallion.
Finally the big
moment arrived. Beth
Lichter and Armand
Bonofiglio were
crowned Homecoming
Queen and King for
1985.
When asked how it
felt to win the title of
queen, Beth replied,
"I really didn't expect
to win! I was very
surprised and
extremely happy!"
The Homecoming
Spirit Concert took

ENTERTAINMENT PROVIDED BY the Bradford Pep Band, directed by Mr. Sabo, set a mood of spirit and excitement during

place on Friday night,
September twentieth.
The Bradford Pep
Band, directed by
Alex Sabo, provided
musical tunes such as
"Latina" and "Bandstand Boogie," while
football players Tom
Laken, Louie Caira,
and Mike Wilkinson,
all seniors, attempted
to move to the beat
(they called it dancing.)
Next, senior Tom
Laken and junior Bill
Conley were blindfolded and kissed by a
cheerleader.
When they were
asked to rate their
kisses and guess who
they were from, the
replies were surprising. _Bill Conley
guessed senior Kris
Hilliard and rated her
lip-smacker an eight.
Tom Laken picked
Carrie Glidden and
gave her a two. The
amused crowd knew
who had really kissed
them, but the look on

Tom and Bill's faces
when their blindfolds
were taken off and
their mothers stood
before them showed
how surprised and
embarrassed they
really felt.
Other events of the
night included the
cheerleaders challenging the football players in building
a pyramid. The guy's
version was a monkey
pile.
Finally, before going
home to rest before
the big day, there was
the annual pre-Homecoming Sock Hop
held in the fieldhouse.
" There was really a
lot of excitement during the week," said
junior Shane Rondeau.
All in all, Homecoming was a huge
success in raising spirit. It also helped to
alieviate the pressures
on the students from
a normal school day.

The atmosphere of

perfectly to the theme

Each table had a

of the personalized

dimmed lighting,
interspersed with
occasional colored
flashes from the lights
of the band, created a
feeling of romance
and intrigue.

looks were important.

were royal blue, black,

colors.

the case of two

Drama Department's
production of Arsenic
~·

and Old Lace.
Arsenic and Old
Lace was presented on
November 14, 15, and
16. The play was a
classic comedy which
revolved around two
sisters named Abby
and Martha Brewster,
played by senior Lyna
Paukstelis and junior
Tracy Freitag, whose
well-meaning charities
involved putting their
lonely boarders to rest
by spiking their
homemade elderberry
wine with lethal
arsenic.
This seemed to go
on for many years
until the Brewster
sisters' nephew
Mortimer (junior Tom
Selear) discovered
their ingenious
scheme and tried to
get them to give up
their act of mercy.
More complications
arise with the arrival
of Mortimer's long
lost brother,
Johnathan (senior
Freddy Greco), and his
bumbling sidekick, Dr.
Einstein (junior
Raymond Henderson).
Johnathan tried to get
rid of the sisters and
Mortimer in order to
use their home for a

hideout from the law.
Fortunately, he fails
and is arrested.
After this incident,
the Brewster sisters
committed themselves
to a sanitarium along
with their other
nephew Teddy (senior
Ron Kelly). They then
decided to give the
house to Mortimer
and he decided to
marry his love Elaine
(sophomore Jennifer
Johnson). In the end,
good triumphs over
evil and everyone lives
happily ever after.
The cast worked
long and hard to get
the play off the
ground. They
rehearsed every night,
and two weeks before
the actual production,
they even rehearsed
on Saturdays and
Sundays. However,
disaster struck. The
Drama Department's
director, Mr. Nick
Sturino, was
hospitalized for a
slipped disc. The

whole cast felt badly,
but they knew that
they had to keep
going.
Junior Raymond
Henderson
commented, "We
took in Sturino's
thoughts, and he
would have said, 'The
show must go on ."'
Luckily, Mr. Gary
Shaver and Mr. Roger
Stasik were able to
take over the
direction of the play.
The cast felt that they
did a terrific job and
really made the show.
One of the
highlights of the play
was the elaborate
scenery. The furniture
for the set of the
production
transformed the stage
into a seemingly real
turn of the century
home. Most of the
furniture and antiques
came from the parents
of the cast themselves.
Their parents broke
up their living room
sets and dug out

Martha (junior Tracy Freitag) hastily put away the tea

old furniture to really
give the audience a
feel of early twentieth
century Brooklyn.
Junior Mike Armes,
who came to see the
play, commented,
"The scenery was
really nice and it
helped add to the
atmosphere of the
play."
The costumes were
provided by Furr-ByUs and they also
helped the audience
get the feel of actually
being in that long
gone age.
Unlike the year
bemre, there was not
much publicity for the
play. Except for the
posters placed around
school and the
announcements over
the PA system, not
very much was done
to advertise the
production. Most of
the students who
came to see it either
knew friends who
were in it or had seen
it acted out before.

The ones who did
come to see it
thought the play was a
success. They enjoyed
the humor and on
several occasions,
bursts of laughter
could be heard from
the audience for their
appreciation of the
funny scenes. In fact,
some students had
either seen it more
than once or were
planning to see it
again.
"I thought it was
great, and I'm
definitely coming back
to see it again
tomorrow night," said
junior Maureen
Mauras.
So on opening
night, the cast was
ready and they knew
that this was it. As the
curtain went up, they
all felt a certain
excitement and they
knew that this was
definitely going to be
an experience to

Murder inside. Sounds
like an intriguing

super sleuths.
Such was the basis
of this year's spring
play, "The Butler Did
It," written by Tim
Kelly. The host of this
weekend was Miss
Maple, played by
senior Lyna Paukstelis.
She lived at
Ravenswood Manor,
an isolated estate on
Turkey Island, with
only a maid and her
social secretary Rita,
played by sophomore
Gwen Heller. Known
as an instigator of
exciting weekend
parties, she prided
herself on never
having had an
invitation turned
down.
For this gathering,
Miss Maple invited
seven famous mystery
writers to Ravenswood
Manor. Chandler
Marlowni, played by
senior Fred Greco,
was a loud, raucous
type of detective who
considered himself a
lady's man. He does
his best to win the
heart of Charity Haze,
a female James Bond
who is all woman,

played Louis Fan, an
oriental detective who
was quick to come up
with the reasons for
every occurrence.
Peter Flimsey,
Sherlock Holmes
himself, was played by
junior Tom Selear.
Father White, played
by junior Raymond
Henderson, used
psychology to solve
his cases. The last
guests were Rick and
Laura Carlyle, played
by senior Kelly
Mackay and
sophomore Jenny
Johnson, a detective
couple based in
Manhattan.
The only condition
the guests had to
follow was that they
all must be these
fictional heroes rather
than themselves for
the entire weekend.
Miss Maple and her
exconvict maid,
Haversham, played by
junior Tracy Freitag,

had a few tricks
prepared to put their
guests to the test.
These tricks
succeeded in amusing
the guests until Rick
was apparently
murdered a few hours
after arriving. The
remaining detectives
feared their lives were
in danger, also, and
came up with some
crazy theories to who
the murderer was. A
crazed widow, Laura
was certain Rick's
former mistress, Mabel
Dupre, had something
to do with it. Miss
Maple was upset
because one of her
weekends ended in
disaster.
This continued into
the next morning until
the famous police
chief Pharoah Link,
alias Peter Flimsey,
solved the case. Mabel

Haversham, had killed

was presented on
three nights, February
20, 21, and 22.
However, an
unexpected blizzard
on Thursday, February
20 prevented many
people from
attending. The play
was performed with
less than twenty
people in the
audience.
Each year before
every performance,
the cast has a routine
exercise they do to
loosen the tension
before going on stage.
This year there was a
slight change.
"Each night we
usually toss a beach
ball around to help
get the adrenalin
flowing so we can go
out on stage and have
a good time," said
senior Ron Kelly.
"This time no one
remembered the

beach ball so we had
to improvise with a
balloon."
There were several
humorous parts to the
play to add a laugh or
two to the mystery.
Every time the wise
Louis Fan made a
profound statement,
an invisible gong
would sound, causing
the other detectives in
the room to search in
wonder for it.
Haversham had a few
physical oddities that
were good for a laugh.
She also had a funny
sort of naive
ignorance. Father
White's stuffy,
psychological talk was
also a cause of
breaking the audience
up.

ICARIOUS THRILLS
ARIETY
According
to
Noah Webster it may
have a variety of
definitions. These
definitions range from
"the quality or state of
having numerous
forms or types" to
"something differing
from others of the
same general kind" to
"a number or
collection of different
things especially of a
particular class."
Webster even had
sense to define the
phrase "variety show,"
and this definition was
an acceptable one;
however, one might
better understand this
phrase by knowing a
little about the 1986
variety show.
The variety show
was held in the
auditorium on Friday
and Saturday, March
21 and 22, 1986. Most
people there already
knew the where and
the when, but what
they did not know but
found out by the end
of the show were the
who and the how. On
both nights there was
a wide variety of
people in attendance,
and on both nights
they seemed prepared
for the start of the
show.
As always, the band
was the central
showpiece; and this
was understandable
since Alex Sabo, the
band director, was
once again the
director of the variety
show. The show
opened with "Latina"
(more commonly

22

Student Life

known as the
"adopted" fight song.)
After this festive start
the crowd was
introduced to their
master-of-ceremonies,
the " wild and crazy"
senior Lyna Paukstelis.
Following this, the
audience was shown
that this show was
going to be similar to
others; for next came
the ever-present and
" entertaining" walkons.
Walk-ons are a vital
part of almost every
variety show, and this
show was no
exception. The walkons included
sophomores Brent
Deloughary and Ann
Powderly and seniors
Kelly MacKay, Chris
Wolf, and Shelly
Le May. As always,
they were "well
received" by the
crowd; and their skits

kept the show going
between the acts. One
of the more persistent
skits was performed
by senior Chris Wolf.
In this ongoing skit
Wolf was Dorothy (of
Wizard of Oz fame),
and she was trying
very hard to break it
to Toto gently that
they were no longer
in Kansas. Luckily, by
the end of the show,
Dorothy and Toto had
reached the Kansas
state line and were
ready for another
adventure.
Two other popular
skits involved a glass
of desparately needed
water and a brain
transfer. The first one
- the one involving
the glass of water was performed by
sophomore Brent
Deloughary. In this
skit Deloughary was
dragging himself

towards the glass of
water on the far end.
When he reached the
glass, however, he did
not drink the water
but dipped his comb
into it and proceeded
to comb his hair. This
skit was performed
twice: once in English
and once in Spanish.
The second skit
involved a noticeable
difference between
the Friday night and
the Saturday night
performances. This
changed skit was
performed by juniors
Billy and Bobby
Franks. The first night
after the brains were
switched (between an
orange and a man) the
"idiot" with the brain
of an orange said, "I
am Elvin Kranen, an
assistant principal at
Bradford High
School"; however,

Saturday night after
the two brains were
switched, the " idiot"
with the new brain
said, "I am an assistant

Censorship .. .
perhaps; respect
definitely.
One of the more
entertaining acts of
the show involved a
parody on "This is
Your Life." In this skit
a victim was chosen
from the audience to
come up on stage and
meet people from his
past and his future .
This victim was
introduced to Ima
Belcher, his former
neighbor who had had
a crush on him; Mr.

anxious moments for
all involved; however,
junior and Bradford

summed up most
performers' feelings

The 1986 variety
show was, in all
honesty, different

did not include "the

Elks before the dance.
Other couples dined
at restaurants around
or out of town.
The dance was
highlighted with the
sounds of the band
Winfall. The band
played many different
types of music and
attracted a good sized
crowd to the dance
floor.
As the couples
arrived at the Elks
Club, they received a
booklet to keep the
evening's memories
in, tickets for free
soda and a blue or
silver balloon. Before
entering the ballroom,
couples signed their

names in the guest
book.
Upon walking
through the door, the
couples could see the
dance floor decorated
with blue and silver
balloons and crepe
paper. Adorning the
walls were paper
castles in a variety of
colors with each of
the couples' names on
them.
Junior Mauro
Apostoli said, "I had a
really good time but it
could have been more
decorated ."
The colors of the
prom were blue and
silver although the
predominant color of
the dresses was pink.
Nonetheless, there
was a variety of colors
such as deep greens
or light blues. Also,
there was a variety in
the types of dresses,
some with hoops,
some without, some
on the shoulder, and

some off or even
strapless. All were
grand enough to make
even Cinderella look
twice.
The guys wore
either a tuxedo with
tails and possibly a top
hat and cane or just a
suit. Even with all the
differences in tastes
there was still the
feeling of friendship as
a school and not as an
individual.
At ten o'clock,
junior class president
Kris Jackson went up
on stage to anno_u nce
the King, Queen, and
court. Dubbed king
was Eric Wnuck while
queen was Tracy
Freitag. After being
crowned, Freitag and
Wnuck took to the
dance floor for a slow
dance held in their
honor.
"I thought it was
exciting being on the
court. They couldn't
have picked a better

Schlevensky, Sue Gentes, Tricia Hockney , Eric Cima, Ernie

couple then Tracy and
Eric," commented
junior Tricia Hockney.
Afterwards, there
was a buffet served by
the bar and soda
served all night. There
was also a movie, The
Karate Kid, which was
then followed by the
dance.
Junior Cori Rubis
commented, "I
thought the movie
was a good choice. It
was the type of movie
everyone enjoys."
After the movie, the
couples were allowed
to leave with an early
dismissal pass, which
was acquired during
the week before
prom. The couples
could leave anytime
after 12:30 a.m. if they
decided to as long as
they had this pass and
an approximate time
on it.
Junior Bobby Franks
commented, "I think
it is a good idea

because it lets the
students go home and
sleep for awhile in
case he/ she has to
work the next
morning."
Overall, "Cherished
Dreams" was a night
for everyone to
remember.
Afterwards, most of
the couples went out
for breakfast or down
to the lake to watch
the sun rise.
"It was fun. I
thought the castles
looked great! The
movie could have
been better but I
enjoyed the evening
anyway," commented
junior Kristi Lough .

memorable.
It was
unforgettable. It was
filled with emotions. It
was the annual Senior
Banquet on May 23
that caused seniors to
feel sentimental.
"The night was so
full of excitement and
sadness that I didn't
know whether to
laugh or cry. It was
like everyone knew
this was our last time
together besides
graduation and we
made it special," said
senior Dianne
Schuster.
The evening
commenced at
approximately 6:30 at
the Elk's Club. Before
taking their seats, the
seniors mingled with
friends to relieve
hypertension .
According to
tradition, Dan Brooks,
the senior class
advisor, welcomed all
the seniors and
thanked other
members of the staff
for sharing this event
with the students.
Brooks commented
on the graduating
class of 1986, "I don't
think its potential has
been reached yet.
Nice group of kids ·but
. .. good luck."
The comfortable
atmosphere continued
as the tables were
called one by one to
select their meal
buffet style. The menu
consisted of chicken,
mashed potatoes, roast
beef, mostaccioli, and
even stuffing. There
was also salad with a
variety of dressings to
choose from . Fresh
fruit and jello topped

it all off for dessert.
Senior Frances Curi
said, "I think the $15 I
paid for the ticket was
worth the good food
they served."
When everyone was
finished eating, the
senior class officers
took turns thanking
the staff and fellow
classmates for making
Senior Banquet
possible. Senior class
secretary Gina Radant
gave a special thanks
to "Grandma Peg" for
making lunch at
Burger King an extra
special hour. As senior
class president Carrie
Glidden and senior
class treasurer Robert
Riva looked on, senior
class vice president
Ronda Kollman
welcomed the seniors
and officially started a
night of adventure.
Robert Riva
announced a few
senior dumb awards.
Others were
announced during

band breaks by the
other officers.
Senior Rich Wegner
said, "I think we
relaxed a little after
the first dumb awards
were announced
because we weren't
used to such formality.
Robert nailed it when
he called Tony Barsuli
'Tom'!!"
Tables were cleared
and moved to make
room for the dance
floor. The band,
Standing Room Only
(S.R.0.), kept people
moving all night with
upbeat songs like
"Shout" and the
"Twist" to slow songs
like "Just You and I"
and "Heaven." And,
of course, they played
some newer hits like
"All I Need is a
Miracle" and "Glory
Days."
"C0mpared to other
bands we have had
this year, I thought
this band was the
best. We couldn't

AS THE BAND plays " New York , New York," seniors Devon
Schlosser, Wendy Boggs, Wendy Stasik, Mary Messerlie, Jessi-

have had as much fun
without the good
entertainment,"
commented senior
Katie White.
As the hour
approached 11 :00,
seniors kept dancing
and having fun.
Almost all who
attended joined in the
kickline that was
formed to the beat of
"New York, New
York." The
togetherness was
never more real than
at that moment.
"Even though it was
getting late and my
feet were killing me, I
could have kicked all
night!" said senior
Giulia Rovella.
The music kept
playing and the
cameras kept clicking
as picture after
picture was taken to
keep the night a living
memory. Another
highlight involved
blowing hot air on
one's spoon and

trying to make it stick
to one's nose. Of
course, Brooks
explained to everyone
how it was done and
proceeded to
demonstrate.
After the fun
ended, many people
extended their eveing.
Some went to
restaurants for pie or
pop.
"We didn't want to
end everything at
11 :00 so my friends
and I went to Village
Inn for dessert .... as
if we weren't stuffed
already!" said senior
Sheri Friedrich.
Once again, Senior
Banquet was
unanimously voted
successful in the eyes
of all involved. It was
a time to share hugs,
laughter, and tears.

meant to be

ECEIVING HONORS
em ember
when
everyone was left
crying for their moms
in kindergarten? Well,
it was the kids' turn to
avenge a psychological
scar by making their
mothers break into
hysterics. As mothers
and fathers dove for
the Puffs, they
witnessed the pomp
and circumstance
which shrouded their
"baby" in glory.
The Honors
Convocation was a day
where recognition of
the finest of the
student body
occurred . On June 10
at 9:00 a.m. in the
fieldhouse, they
gathered to be praised
and honored by fellow
classmates, faculty, and
loved ones. Among
those so honored
were the graduates,
who received
scholarships,
presidential and merit
awards, and
admiration, as well as
many outstanding
underclassmen.
The recognition of
peers after thirteen
years of blood, sweat,
and tears was a longawaited and much
savored event.
Unfortunately, many
were forced to stiffen
their backs as triumph
and glory marched
passed them just out
of reach .
"In some ways I
didn't mind not
winning an award. I
mean, I don't need a
certificate to tell me
that I am a worthy
person. But it did sort
of hurt to be
excluded," remarked
senior Jessica Jacobs.

Student Life

After the senior
processional and all of
the formalities such as
the Pledge of
Allegiance and
National Anthem were
completed, the
program many had
waited years for
officially began .
Excelling in
academics, the
students were
awarded various
honors. Some were
expected while others
were surprises. The
stream-lined program
flowed smoothly even
though the natives
started getting restless
as the temperature
rose.
"I was really
surprised to see my
name on the list of
award winners,"
exclaimed junior Sue
Werwie, one of the
few juniors honored
at the program. "I
thought only seniors
participated in the
event."
Many were awarded

scholarships from
various school groups.
Seniors Terry Hatcher
and Kris Meyer
received the George
Nelson Tremper
Memorial. The D. T.
John Memorial was
awarded to seniors
Lawrence Otter and
Devon Schlosser. A
Golf Team Scholarship
was awarded to
seniors Dan Pacetti
and Steve Shwaiko.
Seniors Kirsten Jones,
Beth Lichter, Gina
Radandt, Toni Stout,
Tracy Tower and
Simone White were
awarded Student
Council Scholarsips.
Drama Club presented
its scholarships to
seniors Ron Kelly and
Lyna Paukstelis. CPA
Club awarded seniors
Sheryl Hansen,
Rebecca Matoska, and
Amy Plutchak top
honors. Finally, the
business department
and its student
organization, FBLA,
bestowed its

WHILE LEADING THE rest of the graduating class into the
Honors Convocation , happy senior s Dan Pavlica, Fred Greco,

scholarships upon
seniors Terry Hatcher,
Judy Klansky, Dan
Pacetti and Franca
Savaglio.
One of the most
coveted scholarships
awarded was the Al
Molinaro Scholarship,
which was established
in 1978. Winners
included seniors Chris
Wolf, Sheri Friedrich,
Cheryl Thomas,
Carolina Curi, and
Linda Becker.
" It was a big
surprise to hear my
name announced as a
winner of the Al
Molinaro Scholarship.
When I wasn't notified
before the
Convocation that I
would be receiving it,
I just assumed that I
hadn't gotten it,"
commented Becker.
As well as
showcasing high
academic achievers,
the program also
entertained the crowd
with a number by the
Boys' Choir. For the

senior members, it
was their last
performance, a both
happy and sad
occasion .
Other entertaining
moments came when
the award presenters
held the crowd's
attentive interest
when they wished the
winners and all the . ~
graduates good luck .
"My favorite
presenter was the man
who gave Franca
Savaglio her award. He
said he was happy that
they had picked such
a pretty girl as the
winner. It was a
change in ritual that
brought a smile to
many faces," said
junior Jackie Becker.
The 1986 graduates
assembled to dream,
and everyone's hopes
went with them. Many
came to see "baby" in
the limelight for one
special, shining
moment, but all left
with feelings of honor.

Student Life

Like an ending but . . .

T'S A NEW START
f one wants to
be technical, it
began officially
in December.
However, for
most it was marked by
a countdown started
shortly after spring
break. For a few, it
began with their
senior year.
What was this
mysterious "it?"
Graduation, of course!
Every class of seniors
wait anxiously for the
DIPLOMA, and Class
of 86 was no different.
In December,
Balfour sent
representatives to
measure seniors for
caps and gowns.
Students could also
order announcements,
name cards, memory
books, and jewelry
commemorating the
momentous occasion .
"I got an 86 pin and
a key chain,"
remarked senior
Sheryl Hansen. "I
figured I only graduate
from high school
once!"
Then came the long
wait until graduation.
Inattentiveness,
procrastination, and
restlessness settled in
on the seniors long
before it hit the rest
of the student body.
Luckily, special events
for seniors, like the
Senior Banquet,
helped to break up
the agony of a long
wait.
A change in
graduation policy
meant that this class
had to stay in school
longer than the
preceeding classes.
Instead of excusing
seniors on the first
Friday in June, when
they were traditionally
excused, these seniors

were required to
attend classes until the
following Tuesday.
This change in policy
did not make many
seniors happy.
"I don't think it is
fair . It's like we're
being punished or
something. Yet they
keep telling us 'You're
the best class yet!"'
commented senior
Michael J. Becker.
Others, while not
liking the change in
ruling, could
understand the
motives behind the
action.
"The teachers didn't
like letting the seniors
out early because then
they needed two
lesson plans - one
for seniors and one
for the rest of the
school. It was really a
hassle for them," said
senior Tim Morton.
Through all of the
rigamarole of changing
practices, 424 seniors
managed to complete
the requirements for

graduation . With this
sense of
accomplishment a
touch of sadness was
intertwined for those
seniors who didn't
make it with them.
"I really felt badly
for the seniors who
didn't make it. In
some cases I didn't
think it was fair . They
added some kids back
on to the list, but not
others. That doesn't
seem right," declared
senior Jessica Jacobs.
The day many had
waited their whole
lives for was upon
them. Wednesday,
June 11, dawned cool
and slightly overcast.
Rehearsal was
scheduled for 7:30
a.m ., but some had
plans for earlier than
that.
"A bunch of people
got together and
decided to go to
breakfast at Mark's Big
Boy. I don't know
whose idea it was in
the first place, but it

PERFORMING " YOU'LL NEVER Walk Alone," seniors Colette
Gregory, Cara El sen, and Brenda Schmunck hold a note with

ended up including
about 25 seniors. It
was a lot of fun,"
exclaimed senior Gina
Radandt.
Excited seniors
descended upon the
school around 7:30
a.m. It took a few
minutes for everyone
to find their seats, but
soon the rehearsal was
started. Principal
Lawrence Jones and
Jean Hazelton
instructed the seniors
on proper form. After
a quick run through
of the processional, a
walk across the stage,
and some last minute
instructions, the happy
crew was let free - a
half hour earlier than
any other senior class
in recent history.
Shouts and cheers
echoed down the
hallway as seniors
made plans for the
warm summer
afternoon.
"We went out to
lunch one last time
and then over to Ron

Kelly's house for a
while. It was a time to
reminisce," said senior
Becky Eppers.
Regardless of
afternoon plans,
seniors once again
gathered in the
commons at 7:00 p.m.
that evening. An
afternoon rain cooled
the air and made the
heavy red robes a
little more
comfortable. Students
mingled together until
it was time to form
lines. Hugs and watery
smiles were the order
of the day as friends
shared the last special
moments of high
school together.
"I had promised
myself I wouldn't cry,
and I didn't. But I
came close a few
times," commented
senior Kris Bailey.
Soon the big
moment arrived. At
8:00 p.m. the class
marched into the

passages were at hand.

class and Joan

the Board of
Education, awarded
the diplomas. She was
assisted by Lisbeth
Whitefoot and Gary
Shaver, faculty
members, and
Glidden.
With the
completion of the
awarding of the
diplomas, senior
Wendy Stasik as well
as the graduates and
audience sang "Alma
Mater." Glidden then
led the senior class in
the changing of the
tassles. After a
benediction by
Reverend James
Beesley, the new
graduates performed
the recessional to
"Trumpet Voluntary."
Although the
ceremony was over,
the evening was still
young. For almost an
hour family, friends,
and graduates milled
in the commons and
fieldhouse. Others

dotted the hallway
and entryway. Hugs
and goodbyes
between friends,
discussion about the
evening's parties, and
tears and laughter
were the main topics
of conversation.
"I just went out
with my friends. We
stopped by some
parties and saw our
friends," remarked
senior Jeff Willems.
The ceremony many
had waited their
whole lives for was
over, and with that
ending came a new
beginning beyond
high school. The
paradoxical ending
turned beginning
faced them all. How
the new graduates
reacted to the
challenges and
struggles ahead of
them only time would
tell. However, the first
step had been taken
this night with

TART CHEERING
urfers.
California
beaches.
Ocean storms. Sea
shores. Bradford assemblies.
What do all of these
things have in common? Waves. That was
just one of the activities that made the assemblies different
from those of other
years.
Of course, there
were the three basic
sports assemblies at
the start of each new
season . These were
held for a few reasons.
The most obvious of
these was to introduce
the team members
and coaches to the
student body. Each
team usually did a
short exercise to demonstrate what they did
during practice or a
game. Hopefully, this
would encourage students to go to games
to support their
school. The assemblies
also provided the
cheerleaders and porn
pon squad with an
opportunity to perform for the entire
school. Of course, no
one minded the
shortened class periods in the morning,
either.
The first of the
sports assemblies was
the Fall Sports Assembly, held on September 10. The volleyball,
girls' tennis, football,
girls' swimming, and
cross country teams
were introduced. The
wrestling, boys' swimming, girls' basketball,
boys' basketball, and
gymnastics teams were
covered at the Winter

36

Student Life

Sports Assembly, November 21 . The last of
the sports assemblies
was the Spring Sports
Assembly, April 17.
This assembly took
care of the girls' track,
boys' track, softball,
baseball, boy's golf,
and boys' tennis
teams.
As is usually the
case, student opinion
on the assemblies was
mixed.
"I like the assemblies. I don ' t get to
many games, so this
gives me a chance to
see who's on the
teams, " remarked junior Carrie Minosa.
On the other hand,
senior Mike Passereli
said, "I think they are
a waste of time. Nobody really cares
about them anyway."
Besides the sports
assemblies there were
three other assemblies. Each one strived
to get a point across
in a way that would
keep the students in-

terested in what was
being said .
The first of ~ hese
was a presentation by
motivation speaker Bill
Sanders. He makes his
living touring the
country speaking at
schools and curches
about self-worth. He
emphasized doing
what's right for yourself and not to be influenced by what's
'cool." He said people
shouldn't be so concerned about what
others think of them .
"What Bill Sanders
had to say really made
me think about looking at myself instead
of always pointing the
finger at others," said
junior Kelly Schlevensky.
Similar to this was
the movie "The
Prize." This was presented by Bradford's
DECA chapter. The
film said that love for
yourself is THE PRIZE.
It also pointed out
that rather than

" LIKE TOTALLY TUBULAR man, let's catch a wave." Cheer lead ers senio r Kri s Hilliard and junior Brenda Donahue pre-

lowering others' selfesteem by cutting
them down, people
should acknowledge
others for their good
points and achievements.
"I felt that last year's
presentation was better, but I liked this
one, too," commented junior Kathy Feely
about "The Prize."
" This kind of assembly
with the music in it
keeps people interested in it."
Another speaker at
Bradford was Vietnam
veteran Dave Roever.
He survived a grenade
explosion six inches
from his head during
the war. He used what
he learned from this
experience to talk to
students about overcoming life's obstacles
with ways other than
suicide. He also
stressed that people
should have a feeling
of love and pride for
our country.
Junior Jill Zapp re-

marked, " I think it's
great that he can get
in front of a bunch of
kids like that. I like
what he had to say."
Notably absent from
the assemblies was the
Christmas Assembly.
"I wish they would
have held the Christmas Assembly again
this year. It's something to look forward
to the last day before
vacation," commented
junior Tricia Hockney.
"I especially liked the
human Christmas
tree."
The administration
had decided to hold
class meetings in place
of the Christmas Assembly. Each class met
separately in the auditorium and discussed
some of the school's

Hawkins Dance. It was
sponsored by Key
Club, and like the
other dozen school
dances, it was held on
a Friday night in the
cafeteria. School
dances were a special
part of many students
social lives.
Senior Heather Coss
explained, "I went to
school dances to be
with my friends and
because I love to
dance."
On the other hand,
senior Cara Elsen said,
"I went to the school
dances just because
there wasn't anything
else to do that night,
but they usually
turned out fun."
After almost every
football or basketball
game, various clubs
sponsored a dance.
There were special
ones such as the Ten
Most Wanted Men
Dance, sponsored by
the Booster Club. By
popular vote, senior
Steve Lalonde was
chosen as the most
wanted man of 1986.
The nine other greatlooking guys were Tim
Arneson, Tony Barsuli,
Don Conradt, Chris

Kurt Mikutis, Dan

Then, as a change
of pace, the coaches
sponsored a dance-athon to raise money
for various sports
teams and their
needed equipment.
Students received
pledges and then
danced for eight
hours. What a relief to
finish that dance!
Champion Pledgegetter and winnner of
a brand new boom

Wiesztort, who said,
"The dance was a

The Sadie Hawkins

of many. Any couple

cafeteria; the lights are
low and the sound of
a love song hangs in
the air. As the couples
dance together, he
gets caught up in the
enchanting melody
and begins to sway to
the beat of the music.
Soon, the song ends,
and the lights become

Jim has many friends

the people are
"okay." But there are
those who don't
understand his
handicap or how to
treat him. He
commented, "I ignore
them because they
have no right to make
fun of the
handicapped
students."
Neither does he let
CP affect his
schoolwork. Of
course, he had to
approach his studies in
a different way than
other people do. He
got help from the

OME DON'T TRY
eptember
10,
1972,
17 year
old Steve P. was
driving his father's
Pacer west along the
highway. Suddenly,
purposefully, he
steered around the
divider and drove
west in the eastbound
lane. Several cars
swerved into the ditch
to avoid the rapidly
accelerating car.
Finally, a semi-truck
that could not escape
the oncoming car was
struck. All that
remained of the Pacer
was a charred, twisted
pile, welded to the
truck by the heat of
the flames.
Miraculously, the
truck driver received
only minor injuries.
Identification of
Steve's body had to
be established through
his dental records.
Believe it or not,
this is a common
suicide story among
American teens. Every
ninety minutes a teen
commits suicide. Each
year, 80,000 people
between the ages of
fifteen and twentyfour attempt suicide.
Unfortunately, eight
percent are successful,
which makes suicide
the third leading
death cause among
adolescents. The most
common ways of
killing oneself are
slitting wrists, hanging
or shooting oneself,
deliberate car crashes,
drug or alcohol
overdose, and carbon
monoxide poisoning.
Suicide has always
been a problem
th ro ugho ut the wor ld,

but over the past
thirty years, the
suicide rate has
tripled . Why would
someone want to kill
themselves? The
reasons vary as much
as the individual. Job
loss, family or school
problems, break-ups
of romance,
pregnancy, and
drug/alcohol
dependency are some
cuases. Since the
World War II baby
boom, there are more
young people than
ever. This means more
competition for jobs,
grades, college, and
attention.
One major cause of
suicide is depression.
It results from a lack
of self-confidence.
Mental health experts
say the teenage years
are a time of
emotional ups and
downs. Sometimes a
young person makes a
hasty decision,
without considering
the full impact of the

action .
" It's shocking, but
young people often
look at suicide as a
temporary way out,"
said Ms. Nancy Allen,
former president of
the American
Association of
Suicidology.
Teens who attempt
suicide often do not
truly wish to die.
What they really wish
to do is change their
lives to make them
worth living. Another
incentive is that teens
want attention and
this is the only way to
get it.
"Nothing is that bad
that you have to kill
yourself," said senior
Gary Stein.
Parental rejection is
another cause of
suicide attempts.
Many kids feel that
their parents think of
them as a burden, just
a living, monthly
payment. Rather than
feeling the pain of
problems, teens try to

GUNS, PILLS, KNIVES , ra zor blades, injections, rop es, carbon
mo no xid e. - th ese ar e the most common m eans by whi ch

avoid any situations in
which emotions may
be touched . If a
person feels there is
no future for them or
no one to turn to for
help in facing their
problems, they may
think suicide is the
only way to end their
suffering.
" After my friend
killed himself, there
was this incredible
feeling of tremendous
anger, guilt, and
sadness. I was mad at
him for killing himself,
I felt guilty because I
couldn't stop him, and
I was sad because I'd
never see him again,"
said junior Scotty
Davis.
Suicide is a serious
problem we cannot
ignore. Programs are
being set up across
the country to help
teens deal with their
problems. One such
program in Kenosha is
the Crisis Intervention
Service. By calling
657-7188, a person

can reach a twentyfour hour hotline.
Teenagers may also go
to family , friends , or
counselors for help.
Many times just a few
sympathetic words can
help a teenager face
their troubles.
Professional help saves
many lives. People
have a will to live, and
once that will
becomes dominant, a
potential suicide
victim can lead a
normal life once again .
If someone seems
suicidal, help from a
concerned friend can
be a vital part of
getting that person
professional assistance.
The key is to discuss
the problem openly
and show support and
interest .
" You have to
wonder, 'Why didn't I
know? ' It makes you
feel guilty for not
helping or getting
help," said junior
Cindy Caya .

he girl sat

observing
her

right, a jock. "What a
gorgeous hunk!" she
thought. To her left, a
brain. "Those glasses!
They must have been
cut out of coke
bottles! I'd never be
caught dead with
him!"
Even though no one
would readily admit to
thinking these
thoughts, most high
school students still
have the sterotypical
images for the
gorgeous jock with
big muscles and no
brains and the nerdy
egghead with a brain
the size of a bowling
ball. What most
people do not realize
is that these views are
not longer true. These
days, in most cases,
the jock and the brain
are one and the same.
"It's not fair to
judge jocks as being
dumb because there
are many athletes who
get good grades," said
junior Suzi Werwie.
Actually, athletes
getting good grades
was not uncommon
since most sports
required the athletes
who participated in
them to have at least a
C average. Many
parents also required
their children to get
good grades in school
in order to be able to
participate in sports.
"My parents are
happy that I'm
involved in sports but
they want me to keep
up my grades because
grades are probably
what will help me
more in the future,"

said junior Gregg
Mich .
As for the brains,
these people still find
themselves being
persecuted. Though
there have been
movies like Revenge
of the Nerds

glamorizing
intellectuals, many
people thought that
smart people were
beings from another
planet.
For examples,
winners at sporting
events were
announced on the
daily announcements.
However, individuals
who had ~cceeded at
making the honor roll
or had recently been
inducted into the
Honor Society were
hardly ever
recognized . Shouldn't
these people also be
announced as
winners?
Another example of
the battle between
jocks and brains was a

gym credit. District
policy was that anyone
on a sport for two
seasons did not have
to take a gym class
except for required
sophomore gym .
Having to take gym,
for some people,
presented a problem.
Many students who
were not on any sport
would have liked to
take another academic
subject to further
their education
instead of spending a
semester in P.E. These
people felt that it was
unfair for the athletes
to get out of gym and
have study hall when
a " brain" could be
taking a valuable class.
Cheating was
another problem.
Many athletes claimed
that they were
constantly at practice
and therefore had no
time to study.
Consequently, they
either did not do their
assignments or

FOOTBALL IS Al WAYS an exciting sport to wat ch. During a
hard fought home game, number 19 junior Eric Wnu ck hands

cheated off the brains.
There have also been
cases where teachers
have been more
lenient on athletes.
The brains then felt
like they were treated
unfairly because their
efforts were going to
waste.
"I don't think it's
fair for teachers to be
a. little more lenient
on athletes just so
they will give their
school a good athletic
reputation. It's not fair
to kids who work hard
to get good grades
honestly," said junior
Chris Benter.
The main argument,
however, was still
which had more value.
Many students had
different opinions but
most felt that both
were equally
important.
"I think they are
equally important
because you need
both of them to
mature physically and

mentally," said junior
Silvana Presta.
"I think that both
are important because
academics helps a
person to gain
knowledge for a
future career, and
athletics helps to gain
friendships and skills
that may last a
lifetime," commented
junior Kate Fowler.
"Academics are
more important
because they would
help me more to
aquire a job in the
future," said senior
Dave Wohlgemuth .
And so, the battle
continued. The
changing views of
people prevented the
victory of one over
the other. People
should be appreciated
for what they are and
not what anyone
wanted them to be. In
a word, individuality .

ODAY'S TEENS
he flower
children
of the
60's, the
disco
kings and queens of
the 70's, and the
trendy yuppies of the
80's. Which would
teens most likely
become in the future?
In recent years,
there has been a
trend towards
conservatism from
teenagers. Gone are
the days of wanting to
live in communes,
sharing brotherly love,
and living each day as
if it were the last.
These days, many
teens are planning out
their future and doing
well in school to get
into good colleges. To
many kids, succeeding
now would make or
break their futures.
School was not only
the area in which
teenagers reformed
their attitudes. In
many cases, it was
most noticeable in the
fashion areas.
In the beginning of
the 80's, teens
concentrated on the
punk rock scene.
Many wore their hair
in elaborate spikes and
their clothes either
were made of leather
or had large metal
studs on them.
These days, the look
has been tamed down.
The spiked hairdo's
and studded leather
are almost
nonexistent. Many
kids sported more
controlled hairdos and
preferred more casual
clothing.
Needless to say,
both adults and
teenagers who didn't
like the look were
glad the punk era was

on its way out.
"Many people
carried it too far and
it got a little bit too
much. It also got sort
of a bad reputation
connected with it and
that made it worse,"
said junior Laura Galli.
Another trend in
the fashion area was
that guys were
dressing more like
guys again and girls
like girls. For a while
both males and
females dressed so
much in the same way
that one couldn't be
sure which was which.
These days, the
unisex look has
changed. Shorter hair
for the guys was very
common as well as
more masculine
clothing such as
sweaters and dress
pants.
The feminine look
was also coming back
for the girls. After
many years of wearing
blue jeans, girls began
wearing skirts and
dresses again, a
welcome change to

some.
Teenagers didn't
just concentrate on
having a good time
and partying anymore.
Many found more
practical things to do
with their time that
would not only help
them now but also aid
them in the future.
Many held down
after-school jobs to
have money for the
future and for
spending money in
the present.
"My job really helps
a lot," said junior
Jenny Kirkpatrick. "It
gives me spending
money and enables
me to save money for
the future."
The trend toward
conservatism had also
happened in some
seemingly minor but
actually major things.
For example, even
though Wisconsin did
not have a mandatory
seatbelt law, many
teens made it a habit
to wear one everytime
they got in a car.
"I value my life and

TAKING A RIDE on the Convincer, which simulates a collision
at seven to eight miles per hour, sophomore Randy Kessler

I feel that it would
really help to protect
me if I ever did get in
an accident. I put one
on everytime I get
into a car," said junior
Amy Hartung.
Another way that
kids had changed
their attitudes was
how they got along
with their parents. Just
a few years before,
getting along with
one's parents was
uncool; but, these
days, both kids and
parents made efforts
to get along better.
"I think that kids
and there parents get
along better these
days because kids are
more open with their
problems and feelings
and parents are more
understanding to the
needs of their
chi ldren," commented
junior Barb Bentz.
Perhaps the greatest
change was the teen~
attitudes toward life
itself. for many years,
teenagers' only
purpose in life was to
have a good time.

Now many had
planned out their
futures in detail. Some
even had planned out
what they were going
to do ten or twenty
years down the line.
Many knew what they
wanted out of life and
were not afraid to go
for it.
"Well, after I get
out of high school,
there's college and
studying electrical
engineering, then
there's the Air Force
after that, then most
likely marriage, 2.6
kids, and a bunch of
goldfish," said senior
Tim Reyes.
People said that the
teenagers of today will
be running the world
a few years from now.

YSTERIOUS STUFF
crumpled
papers and textbooks
toppled while pictures
of heavy metal bands
and scantily clad
females stared back. A
dirty cracked mirror
was always ready for
quick check-ups.
While the owner
struggled vainly to
find an overdue
English assignment,
the odor of long
forgotten gym socks
assaulted the senses.
This could be a
discription of one of
several students'
lockers, including
senior Jeff Willems.
"Yeah, I have
everything in my
locker, even my
skateboard," Jeff
remarked. "My locker
also has the names of
heavy metal groups
such as Y&T, Judas
Priest, Metallica,
Zepplin, and Iron
Maiden."
On the other hand,
the books in another
locker were neatly
stacked without a
single paper wrinkled
or out of place.
Possibly, if the owner
decided to be daring,
there might have been
a picture of the family
dog or a Doonesbury
cartoon taped up.
While the owner
conversed with his
neighbor, the smell of
liquid paper tickled
the nose.
A combination of
the two extremes was
senior Giulia Rovella's
locker. "Although my
locker is basically
clean, I have pictures
of Jack Scalia, Tony

Dansa, the Marlboro
Man, and other male
models." She also had
a magnetic mirror and
a memo pad hanging
up.
School supplies
were not the only
things found in
lockers. There has
been everything from
carpeting and stuffed
animals to nude
pictures and cigarettes
to old lunches and
umbrellas. Almost
everything has been
tried. The owners
treated their lockers
somewhat like their
bedrooms, leaving
little personal touches
that made them feel
at home.
For instance, senior
Ed Maraccini once
had two goldfish in his
locker. The fish lived
in an old mayonnaise
jar. Between classes he
would go to his locker
to check on them.
After about a week,

one of the fish died
and was put in its final
resting place, the
commons garbage can.
The surviving fish was
left in Ed's locker . He
said, "The smell from
the fish was so bad, I
had to take it home."
Lockers have usually
been defined as a
storage place with a
lock, but they have
also been used in
several other ways.
One way was to
release aggressions.
One only had to look
around to see the
large number of
dented and broken
lockers. A majority of
the damage resulted
from kicks, punches,
and other forms of
abuse when the
lockers have refused
to open. Some have
been subjected to
having the upper
locker torn off or the
knob broken off.
Senior Sheri

Friedrich said, "I think
people should treat
the lockers better.
The person who had
my locker before me
dented the bottom
part of my locker in .
Now it doesn't close
right."
Lockers also have
helped students' social
lives. Where else was
there to make-out
other than behind the
lockers? During every
dance or during
passing time, couples
would meet, disappear
behind the lockers,
and engage in various
activities, including
kissing. This was not
the only way in which
lockers helped student
social lives. They also
offered a place to
congregate before and
after school.
Lockers have also
been the topic of
many complaints.
Many students feel
that the lockers are

not big enough . The
problem was even
worse when students
were assigned to share
lockers.
Sophomore Anne
Klemm, member of
the tennis team,
complained, "I can 't
fit my Prince
oversized racquet in
my locker."
Senior Shannon
Belongia summed up
most students'
opinions when she
said, "They're too
small and too close
together . I think the
school should build
new and bigger
lockers."
Lockers have served
more uses than just a
place to throw books.
More importantly,
they have allowed
students to express
their individuality and
be themselves. • by
Cheryl Thomas.

Homework?!
The teacher, pacing the room, coldly
said, "For tomorrow, read pages 315355 and do worksheets one and two."
The class immediately reacted with a
series of moans before talking for the
last few minutes of the period.
Sound familiar? No one enjoyed
homework, so why did teachers give it?
Perhaps it was done just to please the
bureaucrats. If they saw a lot of paper
being used, they thought students
were learning something.
There were a few advantages to
homework, though. For example, when
Mom asked for the dishes to be done,
the clever student could say, "I can't do
the dishes tonight. I have homework. 11
This, of course, worked both ways,
especially on weeknights when Mom
said, "You can't go out tonight. You
have homework. 11
One thing was certain, however.
Teachers would continue giving homework until the end of time. Students
would keep on complaining about it
and ignoring the teachers as well.
That's the way it seemed to go. It's a
good thing teens have found a use for
homework - an excuse! + by Scott Warner

21 Now Demands End To 'Blood Border'
Under Pressure, Legislators Consider Raising Drinking Age To 21
11:30 P.M. Five miles north of the
Wisconsin/Illinois border. Four whiteshrouded bodies are lifted into an ambulance. A short distance away, a mass
of twisted steel and shattered glass that
was once a car burns. Later, the bodies
are identified: two are 19, the others
20. All are Illinois residents, just four
out of the many that come over the
border to take advantage of Wisconsin's 19-year drinking age.
The debate has continued for years.
Should the drinking age be raised to 21
or left at 19? The STOP 21 Committee
recently released evidence that raising
the drinking age to 21 would not save
lives.
"Raising the drinking age to 21 did
not save lives in Illinois," said STOP 21
vice chairman Brian Schimming. He
also pointed out that, according to the
committee's study, the number of
drunk driving fatalities in Illinois increased 24 percent for 19 and 20 year
olds in the three years since Illinois
raised its drinking age to 21.
Additionally, Schimming cited a University of Pennsylvania study which indicated that driver death rates in-

56 Mini-Mag

creased when the drinking age was
raised in several states.
Those who supported the increase
had their opinions as well. "They're
wrong," said Mickey Sadoff, president
of the Milwaukee chapter of MADD
(Mothers Against Drunk Driving) in response to Schimming's findings.
Mae Meldgaard, chairperson of Racine's 21 NOW coalition pointed out
that 70% of Wisconsin residents polled
supported raising the drinking age.
Backers believe in a theory called the
"blood border" theory, which states
that drunk driving accidents in Wisconsin/Illinois border counties are age-related. This theory was refuted, however, by Richard White of The Information Edge, Inc., a Madison consulting
firm, who said that his analysis of Illinois
traffic fatalities showed there was no
age or alcohol-related border between
the two states.
The Wisconsin state legislature, however, has been under pressure to raise
the drinking age, or else face losing 5%
of federal highway aid in 1987, and
10% in 1988.
Of course, Bradford students were

divided over the issue, although opinion was heavily weighted toward keeping the drinking age at 19.
Senior Ed Trudeau was one of the
exceptions. "Yes, I think the age should
be raised," he commented. "Most kids
get killed in drunk driving accidents
because they are not mature enough to
make the decision not to drive when
they are drunk."
Said 19-year-old senior Steven Bellow, "I can drink now, but I think raising the drinking age to 21 would cause
more accidents. When a person is 18 or
19, he or she can still get help from
their parents if they need it, but if
they're 21, they may be out on their
own and may not have anybody to help
them ."
Senior Chris Kenth echoed the feelings of many teenagers by pointing out
that" ... at 18, a person is considered a
responsible adult and can vote, go to
war, go into debt, and is considered to
be fully accountable for all of his or her
actions, including being able to handle
a drink." + by Timothy P. Reyes

Titanic Discovery
Amidst success, tragedy of Challenger, LaBelle disco, Libya strike
"Good evening. In the top news story of the evening . . . " Events that
shaped the lives of people around the
globe went on every day. From the
robbing of the local drug store to the
meltdown of a nuclear power plant half
the world away, news happened continually.
In September, the Titanic was rediscovered seventy-three years after it
sank beneath the waves. The !uxury liner had been sitting nearly upright on
the Atlantic floor 500 miles south of
Newfoundland and more than 13,000
feet below sea level. At this level, the
ship and Edwardian-era relics have
been protected from the damaging effects of sunlight, heat, algae, and parasites.
The wreck was discovered thanks to
a marvel of modern technology. Argo is
a sixteen foot long cage fashioned to
project a group of strobe lights, side
scanning sonar devices, and an array of
cameras. It was connected to the ship
by a thick steel cable. When Argo
picked up the image of the "unsinkable" Titanic, it transmitted the image
from the ocean floor to the waiting
computer terminals and video screens.
It seemed that the U.S. suffered a series of tragedies in 1986. On January 28,
the Challenger exploded during its liftoff.
The cause of this explosion was
thought to be the 0 rings, which are
two giant synthetic-rubber washers
that seal each joint between the booster rocket segments. The 0 rings on the
right booster rocket failed to seal properly and caused the external liquid-fuel
tank to explode.
Remains of the shuttle were discovered at the end of March, 100 feet under water about eighteen miles east of
Cape Canaveral, the launch site.
The crew compartment was ruptured but not completely destroyed.
The lower mid-deck, where Astronauts
Ronald McNair and Gregory Jarvis and
New Hampshire schoolteacher Christa
McAuliffe had been seated, apparently
absorbed the full force of the blast from
the shuttle's external fuel tank and was
nearly obliterated. The upper flight
deck, where Commander Francis Scobee as well as Astronauts Michael
Smith, Ellison Onizuka, and Judith Resnik were seated, was still partially intact.
The Navy's team of divers brought up
remains of the crew members and the

shuttle's four flight recorders, which
could provide valuable data .
A pathology expert brought in to examine the remains said, "It is likely that
the crew was knocked unconscious immediately and felt nothing during the
(three to four minute) fall to the ocean.
I want to guess that they were unconscious all the way down , if any of them
really survived the fireball and breakup in flight ."
In fact, some experts believe that the
tremendous force of hitting the ocean
after a 55,000 foot fall did as much damage to the crew compartment as the
explosion.
However, terror was not only found
in the sky . It also came in the form of a
smaller package called Moammar
Khaddafi.
The hostilities began on April 5 when
the LaBelle disco in West Berlin was
bombed . U.S . Army sergeant Kenneth
Ford, 21, and a 28 year old Turkish
woman were killed and 230 people injured (79 of them were Americans).
In retaliation, on April 15 the U.S.
took military action against Libya. Carrier-based A-7s and F/ A-18s pinpointed
Lybian radar sites and disabled them
with HARM and Shrike missles. F-111s
in two attack groups hit Sidi Bilal barracks and Khaddifi's headquarters. A
second wave hit a Tripoli military airfield . Using surprise and electronic
jamming, A-6s from the carriers USS
America and USS Coral Sea struck targets in and near Benghazi.
In this military strike, the U.S. was
forced to take the "long way" around.
F-111 bombers took off from Lakenheath Air Force base in Great Britain
and headed for Libya, skirting France
and Spain, who had denied permission
to fly over their air space. Tankers refueled the F--111s four times en route.
The direct route, across French air
space, would have taken 1,240 mautical
miles. The route the bombers were
forced to take was more than twice as
long, at 2,800 nautical miles.
The Lybian death count included 37
dean and 93 injured in the raid .
The hostile affairs between the two
countries certainly have not ended
here. However, there has been a pause
in the action due to American aggression.

The alarm, on cue, tore through
the dark, unsuspecting room.
Time: 4:30 a.m. In a matter of minutes the room's determined occupant left without regard for
fashion. Destination: away from
any distractions of civilization.
Reason: to witness the celestial
spectacle of the century.
Such a scenario as described
above was for the most part commomplace and familiar during the
first few months of 1986. But why

only to stand in sub-freezing temperatures waiting (patiently??) for

Today, modern research has
turned up some very interesting
facts on Halley's comet. It has
been determined that it definitely

The comet's orbit extends from

Sir Harold Spencer Jones explained it best when he recited a
catchy little poem that began, "Of

none like Comet Halley./We see
it with the naked eye/and periodi-cally."
This year's sighting of Halley's
comet was, of course, not the first
time it had been witnessed. The
first recorded sighting was way
back in 240 B.C.; the most recent
before this year's was 1910. And
yet, in spite of the fact that its
presence has been noted almost
thirty times, it was not until 1758
that it was confirmed to be the

to the blue planet.
Seventy-six years prior to that
date, astronomer Edmond Halley
was doing whatever it is astronomers do, when, looking through
his telescope, he saw a comet
brighter than he had ever seen.
After checking and comparing records of past comets of equal intensity, he determined it to be the
same comet that appeared in
1607, 1531, and 1456. A quarter of

years for each and every round
trip. Orbit times have been as
short as 7 4.5 years and as long as
79.3 years, though.
Science aside, Halley's comet
has also had an interesting history.
In 218 A.D., it apparently marked
(or better yet, brought about) the
death of some king. Its 451 A.D.
showing was supposedly to warn
of the fall of the Roman Empire.
William the Conqueror saw it one
night in 1066 and decided it was
the go-ahead from the gods to
launch his attack on the Saxons. In
1456, Pope Ca lixus 111 excommunicated Halley's comet from
the Roman Catholic Church as an
agent of the Devil. (Yes, that's
right: excommunicated A comet.)
Even as late as 1910, people believed the comet was going to
bring poisonous gasses to t he
Earth, and, as protection, readi ly
bought up mass quantit ies of
"comet pi lls."
What effect will Ha lley's comet
have on t he graduating seniors?
Well, that's anot her ta le (tail?)!

The greatest romances have thrived
on the screen . Clark Gable and Vivian
Leigh loved on the red clay of Tara.
Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers danced
their way across the ocean to a .royal
wedding. Humphrey Bogart and Lauren
Bacall played it again at Casablanca.
Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor
tamed each other while he tamed his
shrew. It was so wonderful that it didn't
seem real.
However, romances were not the
only type found on the silver screen.
Horror films, adventure tales, biographies, and comedies flourished as well.
Many students had their own personal
favorites that they saw again and again.
Probably the most mindless form of
film was the horror film. A crazed killer
with a sixteen inch knife went around
knocking off teens at a local camp. That
was okay, though, because he received
the same fate at the end of the movie.
Unfortunately, the same guy was resurrected a few months later in a sequel,
"Blood and Guts Part 18: Canoeing in
Canada." Horror films survived themselves, it seemed .
"The 'blood and guts' horror films I
don't like. I'd rather see the scary ones
that leave you sitting on the edge of
your seat," said senior Ronda Kollmam.
Another popular genre of film was
the adventure tales. These were prone
to sequel-mania, too. The better ones,
like Romancing the Stone, had sequels
with real names, like Jewel of the Nile,
instead of numbers. This type of film
was popular basically because it offered
excitement, thrills, and daring escapades.
The most popular form of film was
the comedy. The Money Pit, Cung-ho,
and Back to the Future were three of
the hottest movies and were all comedies. It seemed that laughter was universal, and these films fit the bill exactly
to brighten a boring weekend.
"I like comedies because they make
me laugh . Good comedies cheer me up
and make a Saturday night worth living
for . They are a very good source of
entertainment," said senior Sheryl
Hansen.
And, of course, romance was a part
of it all. From the most gruesome horror flick to the sappiest love story, the
"boy meets girl" syndrome provided a
link with all films. It was just too good
for any film director or viewer to pass
up. Everyone loves a good love story.

Life Without A Job?
Clothes. Movies. A night out with
fr ie nds. All these things required money. For teens who had jobs, paying for
the m was no big deal. For the ones who
didn ' t, it wasn't very easy.
When most teens reached the age of
16, t hey knew it was time to find a job.
Havi ng a job not only meant becoming
mor e independent, it also meant having spending money . For the ones who
we re not lucky enough to find one, it
was the exact opposite.
There were several reasons why a lot
of te ens were unemployed . Finding a
job wasn't very easy for most teens. In
man y cases, one would put in job applica tions in as many as ten places and be
luc ky to get just an interview from one.
Th is, however, wasn't the only reason
som e teens didn't work. The parents of
som e refused to let them find a job
because of conflicts with school. Some
simply didn't need or want one. For
wh atever reason, not having money
was a problem dealt with in many ways.
For most unemployed teens, the
prime source of funds was their pare nts. Begging for a few bucks everytime
o ne went out was definitely not uncommon. Some kids even went as far as
to promise to pay their parents back as
soon as they got a job in orde r to
squ eeze out a few buc ks from th e m.

Another wa y to get mon e y was to do
odd jobs. Some kid s tri e d e ve rything
from mowing lawns to dogwalking in
orde r to mak e money. The most common thing to do was to find a babysitting job. Some babysitters wer e pai d up
to $2 .00 an hour and could pocke t up
to $15 .00 an e vening.
"It's an easy way to make mon ey, it's
not that difficult to take care of kids,
and it's not permanent," said junior
Amy Hartung when ask e d why she babysat .
If wor se came to worse, most kids
then turned to their friends . Wh e ther
or not their friends agreed to loan
them the money was another story .
Of course, there were some lucky
kids who got money readily from their
parents. Allowances usually ranged
from $5 .00 to $10.00 and was spent on
anything from lunches to going out for
the evening.
" I don't really need to find a job
since my parents take care of all my
needs," said junior Stephanie Bragg.
"I get money from my parents, I'm
spoiled," said senior Tom Laken.
One way or the other, most kids had
away to deal with their unemployment.
In most cases, they usually worked. It
was the only wa y to pay wh e n Mom

After the kick-off by McCauley, the
game began . The real action started as
Moorehead scored the first basket for
the Bears. Allis quickly followed with
the faculty's first two points.
In between each period a football
was brought out and some " fun " plays
were run . At one point, the Bears lifted
a cheerleader and carried her across
the court.
Both teams did their share of scoring
in the first half. However, the Bears
maintained a lead of nine points. At
halftime the score was Bears 36, Bradford 27. Outstanding players for Bradford were Simon , McCauley ,
Guenther, and Stoebe. With their efforts, the score with one period remaining was Chicago Bears 54, Bradford 53.
With ten seconds left in the fourth
period , the crowd, on the edge of their
seats, counted . Seven , six ... and Bradford scored to tie the game as the timer
buzzed . The final score was 68-68.

High School Moms
Society Sends Mixed Signals While American Teens Suffer
"Teens are lacking self-esteem," said
Michelle Eisenhauer of Planned Parenthood of Kenosha. "The lack of goals
and positive self-image are definitely
important factors when looking at the
epidemic of teen pregnancy."
Each year more than a million American teenage girls will become pregnant, four out of five unmarried. Many
become pregnant in their early or midteens, some of them under age fifteen.
If present trends continue, researchers
estimate fully 40% of today's fourteenyear-old girls will be pregnant at least
once before the age of twenty.
In Wisconsin, Governor Tony Earl
signed legislation which provides funding for sex education in public schools,
repeals restrictions on the sale of nonprescription contraceptives and provides $1 million for counseling pregnant teens. It also makes grandparents
of babies born to teenagers legally responsible for the babies' financial support.
At Chicago's DuSable High School,
controversy exploded when an oncampus health clinic authorized to dispense contraceptives to students who
have parent consent was established.
So far, nine schools around the U.S.
have taken this same step, and others
are expected to soon follow.
Among the underclass in America's
urban ghettos, the trends are especially
alarming. Nearly half of the black females in the U.S. are pregnant by the
age of 20. The pregnancy rate among
those ages 15 to 19 is almost twice what
it is among whites. Worse still, nearly
90 % of all babies born to blacks in this
age group are born out of wedlock.
Is teen pregnancy a world issue, or
are just American teenagers in such a
shocking dilemma? In recent research
conducted at the Alan Guttmacher Institute in New York City, the U.S. leads
nearly all other developed nations in
pregnancy among girls age 15 to 19. As
a point of comparison, the institute investigators looked at five other western
countries, including France, Sweden,
Holland, Canada and Britain. Despite
the fact that American teens were no
more sexually active than their counterparts in these countries, they were
found to be many times more likely to
become pregnant. And while black
teenagers in the U.S. have a higher
pregnancy rate than whites, whites
alone had nearly double the rate of
their British and French peers and six
times the rate of the Dutch.

When comparing American adolescents and their European counterparts,
one can see startling differences. In
Sweden, teens are sexually active earlier and they are exposed to even more
explicit television. However, the Swedish National Board of Education has
provided a strict curriculum that ensures that every child, starting at the
age of 7, receives a thorough grounding in reproductive biology and, by the
age of 12, has been introduces to several types of contraceptives.
In Holland, the media has played an
important role in education of the public with frequent broadcasts on birth
control, abortion, and related issues.
American teenagers receive different
signals. In the summer of 1986, when
the American College of Obstetricians

A TEENAGE CRISIS
A comparison of the U.S.

and five other nations in
pregnancies among girls

Pregnancy rates per 1,000 teenage

pregnancies

and Gynecologists unveiled a new public service announcement designed to
combat teen pregnancy, all three major
networks refused to run the announcement. Why? One simple word - contraceptive was too offensive for
public television. After debating the

subject, the "offending" word was
dropped and the announcement saw a
brief run.
Why the uneasiness? European societies have chosen to recognize sexual
development as a normal part of life
while Americans still cling to their puritanical heritage.
Also, American teenagers face a double standard about sex. "If you're swept
away by passion and have sex, then you
didn't do anything wrong. But if you go
on a date after taking the Pill or with a
diaphragm or rubber, then you're suddenly bad. You were looking for sex
and you can't do that," said senior
Chris Wolf.
In 1983, the Reagan administration
attempted to control teenagers access
to contraceptives by issuing a "squeal
rule." This law required federally funded clinics to notify parents within ten
days of prescribing contraceptives to
minors. Luckily, the squeal rule was
tossed out in courts because it would
increase unwanted pregnancies and
abortions.
According to most recent statistics,
almost 30% of all U.S. abortions are
performed on teenagers. Abortions
seem to be more common in the upper-middle class. These girls use abortion as a form of birth control.
Many believe that sex education
should be a regular part of the curriculum in public schools. There are those
who feel that Americans should learn
to accept teenage sexuality and make
contraceptives easier to obtain, like our
European counterparts. On the other
side are those who feel that sex education is a parent's responsibility, not the
state's, and that teaching children
about birth control is condoning sexuality. Sex education classes are simply
"sales meetings" for abortion clinics,
said Phyllis Schlafly. Also, she claims,
there is simply no way to tell youngsters about contraceptives "without
implicity telling them that sex is O.K .
You've put your Good Housekeeping
seal on it."
The lack of sex education and the
access to birth control may not be the
root of the problem, but simply the
sense of hopelessness and worthlessness felt among many of America's
teenagers.

they will seek elsewhere to meet their

brought relief from the eye-strain created by the overemphasized and overdone intensity of some outfits.
"People dress more for themselves
than for anyone else," said senior Co-

Fashions Labels: Handle With Care
away from convenient categories, most
students dressed according to personal
satisfaction rather than current suggestions. Although individuals wore subtle
fashion trends, such as brightly flowered pants, there was a distinctive flair
toward creation over conformity.
Shirts were left untucked, and with
that freedom, fashion rules and regulations were tossed out the window.
However, fresh fluorescent prints and
bold patterns, such as hot pink flowers
on a black background, made characteristic dressing a unique part of personal appeal and charm. Yearning to
break free of societal restrictions, students dressed with a conscious effort
toward personality and mood.
Individuals strived to attain their own
"look," not to be conquered by
boundaries or pessimism. Many students mixed the ever-popular blue
jeans with blue, red, and gold shakerknit sweaters.
"I do not like to dress like everyone
else," said junior Christy Hale. "If I see
something I like, I'll wear it."
This "anything goes" attitude became exceedingly popular. Along with
this idea passed the preval'!nce of long
underwear, oversized suitcoats, and

Intricate and eye-catching, jewelry of
the baroque mold brought together
designs of ornate yet old-fashioned traditions. Heavy brooches of gold and
pearl adorned many blouses, casting a
Victorian shadow to most outfits.
Clothes either molded to the body
like a second skin or were abnormally
loose fitting. Long, intriguing, multicolored shirts were worn over tight
stirrup pants. For girls, straight linen
skirts of black, gray and tan hugged the
hips and dove past the ankles. For guys,
light cotton suitcoats of white or beige
were worn with matching slacks and
comfortable shoes, taking after the casual styles of the popular television
show "Miami Vice." Paisley forms of
mostly reds, greens, and purples dotted
many fashion landscapes.
Middle-of-the-road attitudes took
back seats to the long and short of
dressing. Long skirts, made of sweater
material, were paired with long, billowing blouses, or short skirts matched up
with flowing shirts of pale ivory with
unique horizontal and vertical patterns.
Colors cast incredibly bright hues
with apparent abandon on student
wardrobes. Conversely, pastels, which
included pink, yellow, and white,

lette Gregory. "I like to form my own
style when it comes to clothes."
No restrictions could control the
fashion spirit. Furthermore, a sense of
distinction produced a theme of unity
for many different individuals.
Dressing as desired exceeded the
limiting and forceful pressures of conservatism. Students broke from tradition with the use of fashion as a tool
and a weapon. The unpredictability of
trends did not dictate one's wardrobe.
Sophomores, juniors and seniors alike
dressed according to extremely personal tastes. A varied closet of styles
was possessed by most of the student
body.
Coordination and symmetry played
important roles in the classrooms of
fashion. Intense outfits of hot pink and
turquoise lined the halls. Guys and girls
matched every strand of thread together to achieve perfection.
Nonetheless, students shuddered at
the labels placed upon them. The vitality and creativity shown by students
proved their victory over classification.
The world of fashion found new meaning in the words "handle with care."

AIDS Spa rks Debate Over Educational Rights
There were certain current topics
that just weren't mentioned in everyday society.
Topics like premarital sex, veneral
diseases, and AIDS (Acquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrome) were a few of
these "taboos."
Why did people avoid such topics?
There were many answers to one difficult question.
"You really can ' t pinpoint the answer . Some may think if they don ' t talk
about it, then it won't touch them, or it
will go away. Or if it doesn't touch
them, it doesn't concern them," said
one student.
One topic that people wouldn't ta lk
about was AIDS in school. AIDS was
thought of as a disease for homosexuals, drug users, and other "unfavorables." The fact was that some people
have contracted AIDS from blood
banks or by having sex with a person
infected with the AIDS virus. Increasingly so, AIDS has spread to the heterosexual population; regardless, it was invariably fatal.
Some victims were "innocent." Take
the case of Ryan White, a fourteen year
old in Indiana. White contracted AIDS
through a blood transfusion. The

school was reluctant to let White attend school because of the possibility
of infecting other students. Finally, the
superintendent decided to leave the
decision up to the boy's doctors. If they
felt that the other students would not
be endangered by the AIDS virus by
White's attendance, they would allow
him to continue in school. If the doctors felt that the AIDS virus might be
transmitted by his attendance, he
would be forced to continue his education via computer and telephone hook
up.
On February 14, 1986, the doctors
gave permission for White to attend
the school.
This was not the end. Many parents
felt that White did not belong in school
where he might infect other students.
Some formed picket lines or held demonstrations, rallies, and other forms of
protest.
One boy was allowed to attend
school - one victory for the "innocent" victims. But what about the
countless others that were not allowed
to? The children infected with AIDS
were the real victims. Either they
weren't allowed to attend or were os ..
tracized if they did. In effect, the vie-

Student opinion on the child's rights
varied as much as the theories as to the
origins of the disease.
"I don't want any AIDS victims in my
school. But if there were, I wouldn't
touch them. Heaven forbid I should
have a class with them," said one.
"I really wouldn't care. According to
recent reports, AIDS isn't supposed to
be transmitted through casual contact," said another.
"I wouldn't mind either, but I would
feel sorry for him or her . There would
be so many people laughing behind his
back, callin him names . . . just plain
being cruel to him," said still another .
Though no evidence indicates that
AIDS could be transmitted by casual
contact, rarely did the rational prevail.
So the battle raged. It wouldn't be
settled overnight, nor to the satisfaction of all concerned . It was a question
of rights. But whose rights take precedence? It was a battle that would be

"Railroad Tracks." Snicker, snicker.
"Hey Brace Face!" "Yo Tinsel Teeth!"
These cries are just echoes from an era
when braces were something to hide.
Times have changed, though, since the
dark ages of mouth - metal persecution.
The issue was not taken as seriously
as one might expect. Many students regarded it as only a minor nuisance.
Said junior Denise Brunello, "They

only sometimes when I'm trying to

Sophomore Tami Stasik commented

RACE WARS
It appears that slavery has reared its
ugly head once more. This time it's disguised in a 20th century euphemism:
apartheid. Apartheid is the name given
to the South African policy of "separate
development," a rigid system of racial
segregation designed to maintain white
supremacy. Under State President P.W.
Botha, apartheid has continued its strict
racial policies since its establishment by
the National Party in 1948.
Race classification is the cornerstone
of all South Africa's racially discriminatory laws. Every child born in South Africa must be registered at birth as Asian,
black, colored, or white.
Apartheid's heaviest effects lay on
the blacks. This group of about 23 million cannot vote, own land or firearms,
or even move freely about in a nation
dominated by only 4 million whites.
Black people in South Africa have
rights only in the homelands - the ten
so-called black states established for
the blacks by the National Party. These
homelands cover 13 percent of the
land area of South Africa, leaving 87
percent in white hands. Generally
speaking, these tribal homelands, or
"bantustans," have poor soil and few
natural resources. They are almost
completely unindustrialized; therefore,
the blacks are forced to work in the
"white" lands. To get some idea of the
poverty prevailing in them, it is enough
to note that the infant mortality rate
among white South Africans is about 12
per 1,000, among the lowest in world.
Among bantustan blacks, the rate is in
excess of 250 per 1,000, among the
world's highest.
All "minorities" in South Africa are
required to carry a "pass book." This
book resembles a passport and contains
the individual's picture, his signature,
where he is allowed to go and not to
go, and his employer. On demand, this
pass book must be produced or the
offender must suffer the consequences
of jailing or fines. Since the courts are
run by whites, blacks have virtually no
chance for release without some type
of reform. Since the fines imposed are
often beyond the reach of blacks, they
are loaned out as cheap labor to pay
their fines.
As a result of this suppression, blacks
have violently revolted against the minority Botha government. Capetown
and white Johannesburg are sites for
public unrest. Daily violence has become commonplace and clashes between crowds of angry blacks and police is expected at any public gathering.

In 1985 alone, over 760 individuals
were killed as a result of street violence. In an attempt to curb violence, a
state of emergency was declared by the
Botha regime, which requires all blacks
to be in their homes by dark.
The African National Congress, the
leading black political party, has been
outlawed and its leader Nelson Mandela has been imprisoned for no apparent reason except voicing his opinion.
This has only further enraged blacks
and heightened public outcry.
World concern has surrounded the
outcry of black South Africans. Music
had once again come to the aid with
Sun City recording artists from all spectrums of music banded together to tell
the South African government that
they didn't like what was going on. Led
by Steven Vanzantz, famous performers such as Pat Benetar, Bono, and Peter
Wolf worked against apartheid.
Seldom does an issue raise such controversy as apartheid has. This issue has
split college campuses as well as nations. The Botha regime must recognize that problems do exist in their nation, or violent opposition from both
national and international sectors will
cause a further breakdown in diplomatic relations.
Until change comes, it is sure to continue. + by Ron Kelly

Faces

The girl sat in front of her
mirror with piles of makeup
around her. A rainbow of
eye shadow, blush, and lipstick dazzled the eye. She
first tried some eye shadow.
Passionate Purple buried
one eye. Unsatisfied, she
next tried Happy Apple

Coral Sea soon swirled there.
"Oh, it's no use!" she
wailed. "I'll never look any
better."
Looking better was the
goal of every person . From a
woman's stash of cosmetics
to a man's weights and curl
bar (and vice versa), improvement was the name of
the game.
One instance where students were concerned with
looking their best was with
the opposite sex. Blind
dates, weekend parties, or
Prom - all could bring butterflies and nerve attacks. It
seemed that when going to
these special occasions,
nothing went right. All of
the clothes in the closet
were hopelessly out of fashion, normally satisfactory
hair became one's albatross,
and no amount of makeup
could save that mug. Looking better was just impossi-

ble.
"It seems like whenever
have something where I
should look nice, I look totally opposite. I don't like my
hair, my clothes, or my body.
Probably the reason I think I
look so bad is because I want
to look really great, but
knowing that is no comfort
when the feeling hits me,"
said senior Kathy Kollman.
Ano_ther time for looking
better was at school. Grades
were important to even the
most careless person, and
most made an effort to do
their best. However, sometimes that didn't happen. Instead, little crib sheets replaced studying. When
caught, no one looked better. They just looked a little
green.
One time that students
did not look better was after
missing curfew. Explaining to
Mom and Dad why the 12:00
a.m . curfew was missed by
three hours often was rather
difficult. They just couldn't
(or wouldn't) understand
why one was so late!
Overall, looking better
was a full-time job. On the
social scene, at home, or
alone, the main objective
was Looking Better and Better.

RU AVERAGE?
Seniors came in a variety of packages.
Some came wrapped in plain brown paper,
others decorated with ribbons and bows.
Some were squat and round, others tall and
thin. Some went punk, others prep. Averages obviously only exist on paper.
Amazingly enough, the packages came in
almost similar sizes. The average senior girl
weighed 115 pounds, which came very
close to the male's 137 pounds. The average senior girl stood at 5'7", again very
close to the boy's 5'8".
Despite a smattering of blues, greens,
blacks and hazels, most packages boasted a
plain brown wrapper. On the average, both
male and female seniors had brown hair
and brown eyes.
Other averages: the average senior girl's
birthday fell in December at about the seventeenth. The boy's birthday feel around
the first week or so in November. Did you
know that the average Air Jordan, Nike and
Reebok tennis shoes that scuff up the floors
at Bradfrod were a size seven for girls and a
size nine for boys?
Also, whether or not it was a school night
or the weekend, the average senior guy
had an extra half hour to get home. The
weeknight curfew was 10:00 for the girls
and 10:30 for the guys. On the weekends
the girls had to be in at 12:30 while the boys

were not in until 1:00. Senior Joanne Alia
said, " It doesn ' t bother me. I can go home
whenever I want .. . within reason ."
Football ranked high with the senior
class, taking a bow for being the most popular among males and females alike. Basketball ran a very close second to football.
Senior Anthony Barsuli was not the average
in his preference for baseball. He said, " It is
one (sport) I am most active in; also, I am
better at it."
In the category of music, both male and
female had two favorites each that ran neck
and neck. For the males, Elvis Costello and
Bruce Springsteen were the top picks. With
the females, Cory Hart and Phil Collins
came in with a tie for the number one spot.
Madonna dominated with the senior class
as being the favorite female singer. There
were many groups listed as the favorites,
but those of top choice were Iron Maiden
for the guys and The Cars for the girls.
There was absolutely nothing wrong with
being average at least if one looked at it
from this point of view - mediocrity loves
company.
Average senior Brent Young commented : "I guess I am neither overjoyed nor
depressed. I guess I am just in between."

Fantasies. Like bellybuttons, everyone had them . But like bellybuttons,
everyone's was different. Remember
the fantasies we acted out when we
were little? One day it was Superman,
diving into a bed, airborne for just a
split-second. The next day, it was a pirate, defending a house on the high
seas. Fantasies were fun .
Senior Don Conradt commented, "I
liked the tools I saw my doctor use. I
thought it would be fun to work on
other people and make them better."
"I wanted to be someone like Spiderman or Superman," remarked senior
Tim Reyes. "I used to read a lot of comic books and I always wanted to be able
to do the kinds of things the superheroes could do."
Senior Kirsten Jones, whose mother
is an interior decorator, said, "I thought
it would be interesting to decorate

other people's houses, but most of all, I
wanted to be like my mom."
"I wanted to be a nurse because my
mom was one," said senior Kim Geiger.
"She took care of older people and I
wanted to take care of them too."
Senior Sherri Behringer commented,
"I saw the San Diego Chicken on T.V.
and I thought it would be neat to run
around at the games and get the crowd
crazy."
"I always wanted to be a professional
baseball player. I thought it would be
fun to play in front of so many people
and get the attention the pros get,"
senior Mark Shaffer said.
It's interesting to see how imaginative we were when we were little. Not
all of us will ever be what we fantasized
being, but at least we had the chance to
let our imaginations wander.

Some were complimentary, others
degrading. Some people earned them,
others seemed to be born with them.
Some people deserved them, others
didn't. Nicknames could be just about
anything.
The most unique nicknames came
from relationships. Cutie, Snookoms,
and Babycakes were all examples of this
type of nickname. They were the kind
of nicknames the guys gave their girls
to make them feel special. Sometimes it
made one wonder how these nicknames originated.
"I call my girlfriend Beaner," senior
Dan Swift said. "I'm not quite sure what
it means. I just started calling her it."
Scruffy, Scooter, and Gerti were
nicknames given to animals. Kids never
seemed to care how their four footed
friends felt about what they were
called. At first, the dog was named
Rags. But ten years down the line, the
dog was called Ragoo.

Senior Shannon Belongia said, "My
dog's real name is Bucky, but I call him
Rao. Get it? Buck-a-roo."
One of the favorite nicknames was
the nicknames for teachers. Some
teachers earned their nicknames
through lectures, homework, and tests.
Others earned them with their personalities.
.
"Mr. Madder's nickname is Maynard. It just fits his last name so well,"
said senior Ann Laabs. "Some people
even thought it was his real last name."
Nicknames friends gave us were
probably the most orgiinal. Most were
pure fun, although some hurt feelings.
Senior Giulia Rovella said, "Everyone
in DECA calls me Time Zone. They call
me that because of something I said on
the way to competition."
As long as these nicknames are taken
lightly, everything should be O.K. +by

Everyone is doing it. It's part of everyday life. Some did it more than others,
some hardly ever. Most people who
did it had many different flavors, recipes and dishes. Food - that's right!
You have guessed it. Everyone likes the
luxury and taste of good food.
Besides McDonalds, Burger King and
Wendys, everyone likes some other
type of food outside of the good old
American hamburger. The seniors' favorite (besides the hamburger) was pizza, which, as a whole, ranked number
one with the senior class.
Senior Paula Petersen commented,
"My favorite is a cheese and sausage
pizza."
Dessert came, for most, in only one
form - chocolate. It was the ultimate
whether shaped in a bar, baked in a
cake, or chipped off a block.
Senior Monica Stanley's favorite
form of chocolate was a Hersheys Kiss
"because you can get the big taste of

chocolate in a little Hersheys Kiss."
Students found it close to impossible
to abstain from eating in classes. Everyday there was at least one person in
every other class selling candy. Week
after week, year after year, if one had
stopped to look how much money he
invested in candy during classes, he
would question if it was really worth it.
Senior Becky Matoska remarked, "If
it wasn't offered in school, we would
hardly ever eat it; seeing as it was always
there, it was close to impossible to refuse."
There were so many different types
of food offered in the cafeteria that one
had a task choosing whether or not to
go out to lunch. The cafeteria offered
such a wide array of pizza, taco salad
and mystery sandwiches that students
hardly ever saw the lunchroom after
their sophomore year. It was the thing
to do. + by Gina Adamson

Walter Payton, Larry Bird, and Pete
Rose all had something in common . Besides the fame and fortune they all possessed, these men were naturally talented and gifted athletes. All three of
them played professional sports, which
provided entertainment for millions of
people every year.
Professional football was the favorite
among the seniors at Bradford . There
was a good reason for that. Why
shouldn't anyone like football when
the Super Bowl champs were only sixty
miles away?
"I like the Dallas Cowboys the best,"
said senior Joe Barrette. "I don't know
why; I've just always liked them ."
Sorry, baseball fans, but the professional basketball fans just had more on
the ball and claimed second. Lay ups,
jump shots, and slam dunks were too
exciting to pass up. Many supported
the Milwaukee Bucks and the Chicago

Bulls, while others supported various
teams across the nation .
Senior Steve Lalonde said, " I like the
Chicago Bulls because they are exciting. When he's playing, Michael Jordan
is really good."
Baseball has been called the favorite
pastime of all time. It was as common as
hot dogs and apple pie. Professional
baseball entertained the fans that liked
the thrill of sliding into home plate or
catching the pop fly.
"Pete Rose is my favorite ," commented senior Tony Barsuli. " His nickname is Charlie Hustle. He's always hustling."
Professional sports provided entertainment for men and women of all
ages. Watching these sports created
suspense, excitement, and fun for all
that loved the thrill of victory and the
agony of defeat.

1920s-the end of high school meant
marriage. 1940s-the end of high school
meant war. 1960s-the end of high
school meant getting a job. 1980s-the
end of high school meant planning a
career. Times changed, but the end result remained the same. The future
seemed so far away until one day it was
there staring hapless seniors in the face.
Many were ready to take it on.
"I plan on going to college to get my
bachelor's degree in nursing. Later on, I
would like to forward my education to
become a physical therapist," remarked senior Stacey Moilanen.
Senior Carol Curi said, "I want to discover the different fields of business
that could interest me at Parkside."
"I'm going to work this summer so I
can save some bucks to go to Parkside
in the fall," commented senior Paula

Petersen.
Senior Toni Marano said, "I'm going
to maintain a part-time job at a restaurant to pay my way through Parkside.
I've decided to take some classes dealing with business."
Still others were unsure and found
the idea of independence non-essential. The most frequent response was,
"I'm not sure yet."
Senior Tim Arneson replied, "I want
to go into the Navy. I want to experience the discipline and honor of serving for my country."
The end was near, but what was it the
end of really? For most seniors it was
only the beginning. The birth of a
whole new way of life was coming, a life
filled with new joys, experiences, and
memories . • by Franca Savaglio

In the movies it always seemed so
easy. Clever girls drilled peepholes into
the boys locker room wall at 5 a.m.
Sneaky guys would steal the chemistry
teacher's favorite lab coat and run it up
the flag pole. Unsuspecting students
would walk in the janitor's office to
find two teachers kissing. Hollywood
made it look so easy.
In real life, it was a little different. The
boys' locker room was located at the
other end of the hall from the girls'.
The chemistry teacher was never seen
without a lab coat, and most teachers
were happily married. Besides, no one
knew where the janitor's office was.
But some kids still managed to have a
good time.
"In Miss Simon's geometry class, we
cut class one day when we had a sub.
During fourth hour he thought that the
bell excusing the homeroom classes

was our bell. We all just went and sat in
the commons," said senior Bobbie Setter.
"We pulled some really nasty tricks
on Mr. Modder. One time we put his
brief case and thermos in the middle of
the hallway. He walked right by them
and never noticed . Another time, we
turned the whole room around . We
put the desk in the back and turned all
the chairs around. It was a lot of fun. It's
just a good thing that he could take a
joke," said senior Jon Goergen.
Tricks, pranks and practical jokes
were the tightest "tight spots" students
were involved in. Other tight spots, like
wild parties, "lost" weekends when the
parents were out of town, and "sleeping over" at a friend's were secrets kept
hidden deep in the hearts of the perpetrators - never to be forgotten.

He liked oysters. She liked pearls.
He liked donuts. She liked $dough$.
He liked operas. She liked ballet. Like
the differences shown above, men
and women showed differences in
their opinions of soap operas. Most
guys didn't watch daytime soap operas, but for the girls, the soap operas
highlighted their afternoon. Females
must have been more interested in
the crime, adultery, and love (although it seemed to be lust) shown in
the soap operas.
"It's hard to say. Sometimes I like
them and sometimes I don't. At times
they seem unbelievable, but at other
times they deal with things in real
life," said senior Sheri Friedrich.
For some, daytime soap operas
were addictive. Some people recorded them during the day and watched
them at night.
"I set the VCR in the morning before I go to school," said senior

Tammy Murphy. "When I have time, I
watch the soaps and catch up on all I
miss."
Soap operas were monotonous for
the people who didn't particularly enjoy them. Soap operas had been
around for over a quarter of a century
and some couldn't figure out why.
Senior Brad Janowitz said, "I think
soap operas are useless. They seem to
be the same. They all follow the same
plot line. One has a murder, and then
they all have murders. I know that is
not true for all of them, but for some
of them it's true."
Soap operas stood for anything you
wanted them to be. It seemed to depend on the personalities of the people that watched them. For some,
soap operas were the cure for the
afternoon blahs. For others, soap operas were just another imitation of
never-never land.+ by Be th Lichter

Warning! News flash - an epidemic
has hit. No it is not arthritis, neuritis,
meningitis or even bronchitis. It is
worse - it is senioritis. Earlier this fall
the graduating class of 1986 came down
with an incurable epidemic.
Some of the symptoms that were related to this fatal disease were lack of
interest, laziness, failure to complete
assignments, along with skipping
school.
Lack of interest was the most dominant side-effect of this fatal desease.
Senior Kim Shamberg commented,
"My particular case of senioritis started
during the third quarter."
Laziness was the most incurable of all
illenesses, along with being the symptom most noticable by most teachers.
"Because of senioritis I find it rather
hard to get up for school in the morning," was the feeling of senior Terry

Grabot.
Unfinished assignments was was the
basis for many failures, due to senioritis.
Something had to put a stop to 'this
disease.
"It was hard for me to get interested
in many of my assignments, but I knew
that if I wanted to graduate in June, I
would have to get rid of senioritis,"
commented senior Becky Eppers.
Skipping school - who needs to attend? This was the attitude of many
who were stricken with senioritis.
Senior Ron Kelly commented that he
"gets bored; it is the same thing everyday, besides Phil Donahue is more exciting than Ron Mlodzik.
Most of us recovered, some of us
adapted yet some of us really did not
ever completely conquer SENIORITIS.

This phone conversation for some
may have been most typical, for others
quite unusual. Many of us at some time
or other experienced a situation that
may have seemed just as strange.
John: Is Sally there?
Little Sister: Yes, one moment let me
check. (She screams, "Sally, telephone.")
Sally: Hello?
John: What's up?
Sally: Not much. My Mom is ragging on
me and I don't have any of my homework done yet, but who cares?
John: I see! So what's new?
Sally: Very funny. What did you do after
school?
John: Well ahh ... I went down by the
lake and nowhere special.
Sally: I see.
John: Will you mind if I go out with the
guys this weekend?
Sally: Well, yes and no. I don't mind if

you go out with the guys as long as you
are faithful and you take me out on
Sunday afternoon .
John: I guess so! And don't worry, I will
be faithful. You know that I love you.
Sally: Do I? Or are you just saying that
to make me feel good?
John: You know better than that. I do
not lie to you .
Sally: Guess what? I love you!
John: Well, I suppose I should be going
now. I have homework to do.
Sally: Sure, I will let you go seeing as
you have been being so nice to me
lately.
John: You are so understanding. See
you tomorrow in school.
In the background John's brother yells,
"John there is some gorgeous looking
blonde here to see you."
Sally: What? Don't you ever talk to me
again. You dirty, low-good-for-nothing! Click . • by Gina Adamson

Donating blood could save someone's life. That was the idea involved
when the Student Council sponsored
a blood drive on May 16, 1986. However, only 131 people donated blood.
This brought up one question. If donating blood was easy and it could save
another persons's life, why did so few
donate? Not to take away from the
donors, but out of 1,700 students and
faculty, only 8% donated .
There were many reasons that so
few donated. Some weren't old
enough, some feared passing out, and
others feared that the blood donated
would never return to their body. The
scare of AIDS also kept some away
from the blood drive.
Senior Scott Ladewig said, "I won't
donate because I don't like needles.
The idea of donating blood is great,
bl't I just don't like needles. If I could

donate some other way, I would."
On the other hand, there was a
small minority that did donate blood.
After donating blood, they felt satisfaction that their blood could help
someone in need. For some it was
their first experience donating blood.
For others, it was just another donation.
"I gave blood so it could help someone who really needed it," said senior
Wendy Stasik "I think it's a good idea
for everyone to give blood because
you are doing something for someone
that could save their life. It doesn't
take a lot of time to give something
you have plenty of."
Everyone felt different about donating blood. Some feared it, others
loved it. It is really up to the individual. • by Beth Lichter

ADDRESSING H IS ALMA mater, Danie l J. Travanti, from the Class of '58, captivates the classes of

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly
-Langston Hughes
The only way that one's dreams will
come true is to follow them . Dreaming
can turn into reality, only if that is the
way one wants it to be.
Well, for a 1958 graduate of Bradford
High School, fantasy life became a reality. Daniel J. Travanti, a former Red Devil, SPY Staff member, Forensics National
Qualifier, member of the state championship football team and a member
of the National Honor Society, made
fantasy become a reality.
When Travanti attended Bradford,
his idols as a teenager were Jimmy
Dean, Robert Mitchum and Marlon
Brando. At an assembly on May 8, Travanti stated that he has always liked fine

actors.
Little did he know that he would be a
two-time Emmy Award winner in just
six short years of his career. Travanti's
awards came from hi s role on Hill
Street Blues as Sgt. Furillo. Travanti 's
advice to budding actors was, " If you
want it, go after it." After the program
senior Tim Overley spoke w ith Travanti
and took his advice.
He commented, "I was hesitant to go
into photography and film directing,
but he said go ahead and do it, and
that 's what I am going to do."
Who would ever think that the re
were stars born in Kenosha, Wisconsin?
Most teenagers consider Kenosha small
and unknown . For those who have ever
dreamed or thought twice about going
into show business, there is now an inspiration and he comes from Kenosha.

Do you consi der yourself a jun ior? Do
you consider yourself a female? Do you
consider yourself "average?" If the answer to these questions is " yes," then stay
with me; if the answer is "no," then read
on.
To be average, one would have to
weigh 119 pounds and be 5'4". The average girl was born in either April or October. She had brown eyes and brown hair
and her ears were double-pierced . When
it ca me to colors, the favorites were blue
and pink . The average girl wanted to grow
up to be a doctor or a nurse. Did she like
sports? Not only did she like sports, but
she loved professional football and eating
pizza, her favorite food . When she was
not doing something else, the T.V. was on.
The average girls's favorite soap operas
were " All My Children" and " Days of Our
Lives." Does this ~ound like you? Do you
still consider yourself average?

valved in school activities. They definitely
eat pizza; blue is their favorite color," said
Silvana Presta.
To be the average guy, one would have
to have been born in either Feburary,
May, or June. He had brown hair and blue
eyes. Out of all the guys who answered
the survey, only one had his ear pierced .
The average guy was 6'0" tall and weighed
150 pounds. His favorite food was pizza;
his favorite professional sport - football!
The average guy dreamed of becoming
either a doctor or a fireman. When the
average guy wasn' t out cruising, he was in
watching his soap opera "General Hospital."
Joe Capelli commented, "I feel that this
is about as average as a guy can get at
Bradford. I mean there are no super
stars." Are you average?
So, the average guys and girls weren't so
different. What was average after all?

Top 40 was hot. On second
thought, Metal was hot. But then
again, New Wave-Punk was on its
way up. Or was it down?
Those lucky juniors who answered
our survey rated the musicians in a
variety of ways. The guys felt that
Huey Lewis and Phil Collins were the
best. Second place went to Ronnie
James Dio. Other favorites were
Prince, Rob Halford, and Elvis Costello. On the other hand, the girls
voted Phil Collins as the number one
man, but Bruce Springsteen, Prince,
and Lionel Richie all tied for second.
"I think a lot of groups are trying
to make people realize what's going
on around them with their music,"
remarked junior Dinine Elbe.
As for the female artists, Madonna
topped both lists. The guys preferred Lita Ford for second. The
guys' list also included Pat Benatar,
Stevie Nicks, and Exene. The girls'

r.anked Whitney Houston and Pat
Benatar as seconds. Josie Cott~n and
Aimee Mann were also well liked.
When asked for a favorite musical
group, a great many names came up.
A local band topped the guy's chart.
This band, "The Smashed Infants,"
consists of Pete Ress, Tim Carien, Jay
Prester!, Joel Senical, and Steve Paddock."
Second place went to Motley
Crue, and the Police. Other favorites
were the Cars, Run DMC, and Scorpians. The girls felt that Wham! and
Klymax deserved the number one
position. Second place went to Tears
For Fears, Heart, and Scritti Politti. A
few other favorites were Judas Priest,
U2, Violent Femmes, and New Edition.
So what was hot? And what was
not? Pop? Rock? Metal? Punk?

Fear. The first word to rush headlong through his mind was fear. His
friends had informed him that he
was to play the male lead in a blind
date.
His mind reeled. What would she
be like? What would she think of
him? Well, at least they had given
him her name.
The dreaded day was Sunday. That
gave him exactly forty-eight hours
and some odd minutes to find out
who she was, what she looked like,
and whether or not he was destined
for the axeman's block. Simply stated, he was bound and determined
to foil that frightful term "blind
foil that frightful term "blind date."
He knew she didn't go to Bradford , so his next logical guess was
Tremper. He approached his yearbook adviser for an objective opinion of his situation. What he ended
up with was a middle-aged English
teacher rolling on the floor in fits of

uncontrollable laughter. That left
him on his own. He found the Classic
and tracked her down . There was
the picture. Hmmm. Nothing wrong
with her. But he still couldn't go
through with it. He had to meet her
first. And he knew how. Somewhere
in the back of that thick skull of his a
light, an inspiration of devious design, was born .
After finding her number, he was
all set to call her when the phone
rang. Guess who had decided to call
him first? After a few minutes ofterrifying conversation, they mutually
agreed to go to the mall together.
Well, no need to describe the
" pre-date" date. Let's just say our
friend got in a lot of trouble with his
friends for it. But as he said, "I'm a
coward. What more can I say?"
Bluntly, it's amazing what some
people will go through to avoid
something as terrifyingly silly as a
blind-date.+ by Paul Aaron

Blind date. Geek, Absolute loser,
total loser, a combination of all
three. A fear of the worst crashed
into her usually calm train of
thought.
He had to be ugly. If he were decent looking he wouldn't need a
blind date. What would he think of
her? What would he be like?
She spent hours nervously run ning around the house trying to
make sure that everything was perfect, yet nothing seemed to go right.
Her usually tame hair had frizzed out
in every direction except the right
one. Her makeup seemed to smear
all over her face and made her look
like a racoon . Her newly ironed
clothes had grown impossible wrinkles.
Time passed and then - a knock
on her door. The thirty seconds that
it took her to open the door seemed

like an eternity. All the previous
worries had returned . Somehow, the
door opened and complete shock
blasted the fear s and worr ies into
oblivion .
He had turned out to be absolutely gorgeous! He had to have a personality to match his looks; otherwise, she wouldn' t have enjoyed her
evening.
He took her out to see a comedy,
which they both found funny . The
situation was awkward. At nrst, he
couldn't decide if he should've held
her hand or put his arm around her.
The awkward moment passed when
he had decided to do neither. All
through dinner they took turns acting out different scenes.
Romance of the century it wasn't,
but a great friendship it became!

Friday morning: time to get up for
school. A scary thought, isn't it?
Beep . . . Beep . . . Beep ... The
ominous numbers 5:30 a. m. glare
red and menacing from the alarm
clock. But what the heck, another
half an hour won't hurt. Hit the
snooze. Hey, what happened to that
great dream?
Oh! OOoo ... It's 7:00 a.m. and all
is not well!! "I'm only going to say
this one time!" Mom's booming
voice echoed down the hallway and
through the closed bedroom door,
ringing in the unsuspecting fatigue
case's ears.
It's 7:45. Oh well, a couple more
detentions. More time to plot the
downfall of the infamous Elvin
Kranen.
At 8:15, after being treated like a
moronic idiot for half an hour in the
attendance office, it's time to hit the
tenches. Open class warfare, no prisoners, especially not the teachers.

What seems like hours turns out to
be only a few minutes. In a state of
mixed boredom/drowsiness, the
madman (teacher) asks a question .
But in this state of mind, who even
know what class this is?
Friends attempt to wake up the
limp sleeping form, but the teacher
takes away the blasting powder.
Somewhere along the way she finds
herself asking the teacher why
school desks don't come equipped
with cushioned tops?
Think about it. Haven't we all had
one or two or three ... Well, we've
all had days like that.
"Bad days are like stepping on the
gum and having it stick on the bottom of your shoe," said junior Lea
Dellise.
What if school began at 11:00
a.m .? Would we even need an attendance office? Of course we would.
By 11:00 a.m . we'd forget we had

"What can you tell an irate woman
in possession of a deadly weapon,
namely a stiff-bristled hair brush?"
asked junior Bobby Franks.
"The half truth and nothing of the
truth!" answered his brother junior
Billy Franks.
Though men don't always know
the right words to say to a woman,
they never fail to say the wrong
ones. And at the hint of the slightest
personal dilemma, it seems that men
have the unique ability to become
"con-men" of the highest order .
And when backed into a corner, like
a frightened pup, they lie through
their teeth. (I speak only for those
honest, hard-working deviants of
humanity known as "man.")
One thing men seem to be inept
at is excuses. They come up with
some of the stupidest in recorded

104 Faces

history. For example, " I can't go out
in thunderstorms! I have a nervous
condition ." But one almost has to
admire the creativity that goes into
the concoction of a good life-saving
fiction story.
"Excuses?" asked junior Scott
Adamczyk. "The good ones don't
need them and don't get caught. But
the truth always comes out in the
end, so why lie?" But some men still
prefer the route of self-destruction.
Women term this variety of our species the "two-timer," but those
brave enough to go this road go for
the gusto and should be termed "A
to Z or Bust."
Men of the world beware, cheat
not! A woman's ire is mighty. (Besides, friends, stiff-bristled hairbrushes leave welts.) • by Paul Aaron

NE'/, AVERAGE!
Did you know there was only a ten
pound difference between the average
sophomore girl and guy? This question
and others were asked to find the "average" student.
The average girl was 5'3" and weighed
135 pounds while the average guy was
5'9" and weighed in at 145. The average
female was born in March and the male in
April, making spring the optimum time to
be born.
In the color category, blue was rated
the favorite by both sexes. Red and pink
came in a close second for the girls.
Brown was the best color for eyes and
hair.
To many parents' relief, the average guy
did not have pierced ears, but most girls
had a standard one hole per ear .
Speaking of numbers, the guy's average
shoe size was a whopping eleven while
the girl's was a tiny seven and a half.

In the area of sports, baseball came up
number one for the men .
Mike Dawson favored the second
placed football, "You can use both your
mind and athletic talents."
The women preferred football , followed by basketball.
"It's fast paced and you ' re always doing
something," said Lisa Lichtenberg on basketball, her favorite .
When it came to music, girls liked male
singer Bryan Adams and female singer Pat
Benetar.
Amber June said of her favorite , " Howard Jones sings about the positive thing in
life, like in 'Life In One Day.'
The average male favorite was Rob Halford , but Phil Collins got high marks as
well. Favorite female singers included
Sheila E, Madonna and Pat Benetar. + by

"Good-bye, Mom. I'm leaving ."
" Wait one minute, young man.
You'd better be in at seven o'clock ."
"Aw, gee! Mom, it's six o'clock
now and the fun just starts at seven."
"Don't try to fool me, sonny. All you
need is an hour."
"Stop treating me like a child and
let me stay out later tonight . It's Saturday!"
"Don't sass back to me, boy. One
more time and I'll ground you for a
month."
Does this dialogue sound familiar?
It could have happened in any teenager's home on any Saturday night. It
was a little exaggerated, but it expressed the frustration both teens
and parents felt when living with
curfews.
A majority of teens have fairly reasonable curfews. According to a SPY
poll, 49 per(:ent of the student body
had weekend curfews of 12 to 12:30.

The same percentage had weeknight
curfews of 10 to 10:30.
Abiding by curfews was just as
hard as setting them. Most teens
tried to come in on time, but there
were exceptions.
"We lost track of time."
"We ran out of gas."
Excuses were almost never accepted by parents because they sounded
too contrived.
"Parents don't think teens are capable of having a good time without
doing something against the law.
They are so suspicious," said sophomore Cassie Writz.
What was missing was trust, trust
between parents and teens, with
both realizing they can trust the other .to do the right thing. If there was
more mutual trust, there might be
fewer Saturday night curfew fights.

A kiss. Discovering the magic of
this sweet sensation can be a moment that will linger long in the
memory. From a first love to a
stranger in passing, the awe and mysiery are still there.
What makes a kiss so breathtakingly awesome? Is it that starryeyed moment before the lips lock, or is it that
mystical moment of actual contact?
Either can make a smile appear,
but experienceing bad kissing may
just take that smile off. Unpleasant
tactors such as bad breath, dripping
saliva, open eyes, or wildly thrashing
tongues result in bad kissing.
Can the magic actually be felt
while someone's locker handle was
jammed into your back? Or was the
appropriate time during the break
between classes?
"I feel that the interaction of a

couple in a publicly open area is, in
effect, repulsive. I think a quick kiss
is okay, but making out should not
be for all the world to see. The way
some couples go at it, the sophomores could watch them instead of
sex ed.," said senior Grant June.
Public show of affection did not
seem to fit into the high school
scene but rather belonged in a grade
B melodrama, where the heroine is
saved from an oncoming train by a
handsome stranger.
But lovers couldn't resist. As in
medieval times when it was thought
that a kiss joined the souls of lovers,
so in the '80s the kiss is still very
much in vogue.

What did girls look for in a guy?
This was a question that plagued man
for centuries, one that could be answered with a single word: chesthair.
Why did young women across
America fall at George Michaels'
feet? It was not because of his singing - it was because of his chest
hair. But being hairy was a very rare
occurence in high school males.
Of course, chest hair wasn't the
only thing that attracted the female
species. There was an entire realm of
things to be taken into consideration. His height, hair color, physique, and all-around manliness were
a few of the many interesting characteristics.
11
A nice body in general, but specifically the legs," was preferred by
sophomore Val Kensler.
But let us not get carried away,
taking on the cheap, explotive values
of the Regency Mall Friday Night

Market, the weekly event where
some teenagers went to observe
members of the opposite sex in their
natural habitat. One must also explore personality and mentality.
In actuality, it seemed there were
other women who placed personality and mentality higher than physical ·attractiveness.
Sophomore Sue Shaffer said, 11 A
good sense of humor is one of the
major qualities I look for. He also
needs to be able to carry on a conversation."
So in answer to the question of
what girls looked for in a guy, there
were basically two things on which
to concentrate: physical atttractiveness and mentality.
But don't worry, guys. If you feel
you are lacking in either of these
categories, you can always tape on

" Psst, what's the answer to num ber twelve ?" Does something like
that sound familar to all "honest"
and "innocent students out there?
Yes, that's it! You have guessed it!
We are talking about that terrible (or
maybe not so terrible) subject of
cheating.
Cheating is something that has
gone on everyday, in every classroom, in every way possible. There
were many methods of "obtaining"
answers from others or even yourself, such as little " cheat sheets," or
writing on arms or shoes, or even
special signals that two friends might
have developed. But the question is,
" Is cheating all that bad?"
Some didn't think it was. "I think
cheating is okay, especially if it depends on whether you pass or not,"
said sophomore Scott Amundson.
On the other hand, some were
strongly against c heating. Sopho-

more Rosalinda Beascochea said, "I
think cheating is bad because if you
have quizzes and then you come to a
big test, you won't know anything.
Also, you are not learning or gaining
anything."
So what should teachers, or students who "unwillingly" are involved in cheating, do about this
problem? Is it conquerable? It will
probably never fully be conquered
- only managed. Students must
make the decision based on their
own personal beliefs and values.
One must decide whether cheating
is worth the chance of getting
caught. As was the case with Junior
Tracey Fretag, "I'll never forget the
time I got caught cheating. I thought
it would be the easiest way to pass
the test. Little did I realize that the
consequences of getting caught
were much worse than just getting
the F." + by Justine Kessler

The vocational education department has finally come into its own!
After many years of being largely ignored, it is finally getting some welldeserved attention. A new industrial
arts wing is beginning to emerge, one
with modern technology and students
dedicated to the pursuit of "hands-on"
learning.
Bradford received financial aid in order to purchase new equipment
through the Kenosha Unified School
System. In a few months the CAD system was installed. Standing for "computerized assisted drafting system,"
CADS is composed of two basic parts.
The CAD portion is for drawing and
planning while the CAM section is used
in the actual construction.
"Working with CADS is very like a

driver's ed. simulator compared to a
real car. The CADS is as close as you can
get to the computers used in industry.
It's what they have at places like SnapOn," said drafting instructor Greg Kitzmiller.
The addition of this equipment
brought the vocational education department more up-to-date with current teaching methods. Said Kitzmiller,
" We're better now but still behind the
newest technology."
Since both schools bought the same
equipment, Bradford's department has
been working with Tremper to mutually discover their new systems. This has
been " definitely beneficial to vocational education in these schools," according to Kitzmiller. + br Jess Tomsheck

A dedicated, understanding professional. These words could describe
Bradford's Orchestra and Chamber Orchestra Conductor David Schripsema,
recent recipient of Kenosha's Teacher
of the Year Award. This prestigious
Award was well deserved after many
years of disciplined training and hard
work.
Some of Schripsema's outstanding
training took place in Europe at the International Conductors Course in Hilversum, Netherlands and the International Sommerkamarade-Mozartum in
Salzburg, Austria. The past seventeen
years of his life have been spent at
Bradford bringing experience and considerable knowledge to his students.
As Schripsema commented, "I have
always liked music best. I particularly
enjoy teaching because I get the reward of watching young peole grow
and get better."

Outside activities of his include, conducting the Kenosha Symphony, maintaining a position as a harbor commissioner and playing tennis with his family.
His feelings on receiving the Teacher
of the Year Award were mixed. "I feel
honored in receiving this award but it
does have its problems. There are so
many good teachers who do not receive recognition that I feel a little uncomfortable. I feel they should all be
recognized.
Students felt very differently. Violinist Sheri Friedrich state, "Schrips is a
good friend as well as an excellent
teacher. I am glad he won the teacher
of the year award because he deserves
it."
Violist Roberta Behringer stated,
"Schrips is a great teacher. He has got a
great sense of humor."• by Noel Moeller

In the recesses of your
mind do you remember the
dark ages when you were in
the sixth grade and your big
dream was to one day be in
high school? When letter
jackets, sock-hops, prom,
and dating were among the
fantasies of you and your fellow aspiring young adults?
Then, after graduation, it was
over. Just like that. It came
and left about as quickly as
summer vacation.
The clubs at Bradford High
School were involved in
making it better now, not
waiting until the minute
after graduation when it was
all over forever .
The newest addition to
clubs was SADD (Students
Against Driving Drunk). The
members showed a geniune
concern in the future of the
student body by opening the
eyes of teens to the dangers
of driving while intoxicated.
They tried to prevent death
now, before it was too late,
and one of their peers' lives
was taken away.
CPA (Certified Public Accountants) also played an important part in helping the
community by volunteering
their services at the Soup
Kitchen. VICA (Vocational
Industrial Clubs of America)
also contributed by donating
$100 to the kitchen. They
saw the emptiness of hunger

reach out and they lent their
hands and worked to do
something about it.
M.S.L.C. (Minority Student Leadership Council)
showed their awareness of
the difficulties facing teenagers in today's society and
promoted leadership and
equality among the student
body. Each member maintained a strict 2.5 grade average and strived for academic
excellence. They faced the
problems of today but also
planned for those of the future.
STS (Student Teaching
Students) also contributed
their share to the well-being
of the community and its
members. They journeyed
to different elementary
schools and taught the children about the dangers of
smoking and other harmful
substances.
By using their creative talents, Art Club decorated
windows for Super Valu and
painted pictures for the
commons at Christmas time.
They put the color in the
sometimes drab world of today.
Student Council also took
an active part in making the
community brighter by donating food and gifts to needy
families. Club members
spent their time making it
better nowf. by Tina Paskiewicz

ent reasons (see quote). Approximately
thirty students were involved.
Stage Crew was involved with setting
up the lights, sound, and props for such
productions as plays, assemblies, films,
guest speakers, and sporting events. In
past years, the Stage Crew had even
been asked to help work the Kenosha
Junior Miss Pageant, the Wisconsin Junior Miss Pageant, and the Wisconsin
Singers. They had quite a good reputation for the quality of their work.
Being a member of Stage Crew involved a lot of time and hard work. For

"Many people think that missing
classes is more of a convenience than
an inconvenience. It is sometimes, but
eventually, the homework starts to pile
up. When that happens, it can be awfully hard to catch up," said senior Rob
Johnson.
Although being a member of Stage
Crew involved a lot of time and hard
work, students hardly got any recognition . Why, then, did they join this organization?
"Being a part of Stage Crew gives me
a feeling of self-pride," said Johnson.

Where's The Glory? ·
Lights! Camera! Action! Have you
ever wondered who was really behind
the scenes? A.V. and Stage Crew members were.
The basic job of all A.V. students was
to provide and deliver any extra classroom equipment needed by the teacher. This not only included the traditional films, film projectors, tape recorders,
and record players, but also the modern TV's, VCR's, video tapes, and slide
projectors. Whether it was a film and
film projector for history class or a TV,
VCR, and video tape for American Literature, A.V. students had it there on
time.
Another duty of all A.V. students was
to maintain and repair all equipment.
According to senior Patty Summers,
this was a rather monotonous task.
"Fixing the equipment and splicing
the films can be quite boring, but it is
an essential part of the job. I guess you
can call it a 'necessary evil,"' said Patty.
Students joined A.V. for many differ-

instance, those Stage Crew members
who were involved with school plays
spent an average of about eighty hours
of their own, free time after school and
on weekends per play - just to help
put on the production. Members performed various tasks such as operating
the light board, operating the sound
board, running spot lights, setting up
props, and hanging lights. These were
all very time consuming jobs, and they
also carried an enormous amount of responsibility with them.
"Stage Crew members are under a
lot of pressure at all times. Each person
has to learn to work together as a team
in order to really put a show on . It only
takes one slip or mistake to bring the
whole show down," said senior Wendy
Stasik.
Another inconvenience that Stage
Crew members encountered was missing classes. This occurred frequently
for such activities as homeroom assemblies and all-school assemblies.

"We actually help to 'build' or 'create'
each show."
According to senior Diane Thomson,
being a member of Stage Crew helped
her appreciate the arts: "I was able to
meet and work with so many different
people. It made me realize just how
much time and energy is really put into
a production."
Membership in stage crew is changing. Said junior Jess Tomsheck, "It used
to be almost all boys, but now more
girls have joined. Tami Stasik brought in
several of her friends."
One such friend was sophomore Roberta Behringer, who commented,
"The boys taught us a lot, but sometimes we felt like they almost coddled
us."
Although members of A.V. and Stage
Crew did not get as much recognition
and glory as they deserved, they were
appreciated. Without them, the show
could not go on.

"Yea Bradford!" was the cheer heard
throughout the bleachers. Everyone
knew that Booster Club had arrived. At
every game or meet, Booster Club
cheered the athletes on to victory,
raised team spirit and pride, and got
the crowd involved with the cheering.
The spirit of Booster Club was most
evident during Homecoming week.
Everyday in the Commons, club members set up games such as tricycle races,
baby bottle drinking contests, and the
bubble blowing contests to get everyone into the spirit of things. Also, the

their quest to keep morale high.
Senior Gina Adamson, president of
Booster Club, said, "More people other than cheerleaders and porn pon girls
should get involved in the club. Booster Club is there to raise school spirit
and boost our teams to victory. Booster
Club needs more members with school
spirit that are willing to work hard, participate in club activities and work behind the scenes to do the things that

members worked hard selling ribbons
and buttons displaying the traditional
school colors of red and black. The
football players' lockers were also
decorated with these colors and with
signs to show the confidence the student body had in these young men
who were competing for the school.
The Booster Club was also active outside the confines of the school building. Despite the early Saturday morning
cold and rain, the Booster Club was out
decorating the players' houses with
signs and streamers.
Club member, senior Jayette Janota,
said, "It was a lot of fun although some
of the guys woke up before we were
through."
Later on the same morning, the players were greeted at a breakfast reception. Throughout the rest of Homecoming day, Booster Club was always
present, showing their pride during the
parade as well as at the game. Not even
the miserable weather kept them from

this together will make Bradford a
school with 110% spirit."
While Booster Club was raising
school spirit, B-Club was busy decorating their letter jackets with medals and
pins with well-deserved pride. To become a member of B-Club, one had to
be a major letter winner. While "jocks"
individually displayed their letters, the
administraton showed their pride in
the athletes by exhibiting their team
trophies throughout the school building.
Although B-Club was not a very active organization, they did usher parents at Parent's Night during American
Education Week. Also, during their seasons, they had practice every night
after school in order to be at their best
when representing their school.
Letter winner senior Wendy Watral
commented, "I wish we would have
had more meetings and, like the other
clubs, sponsor dances or something.
There aren't too many people in the

club because you don't have to do anything once you earn your letter. If you
have a letter, you're automatically in
the club."
"It is very hard to get everyone together for meetings with practice after
school. We have to hold them later on
in the evening. Next year we plan to be
more active around the school," said
the club's advisor, Gerald Verwey.
With the combined efforts of these
two clubs, Booster Club and B-Club,
the athletic season had to be called a
success. Even if not always victorious,
the players gave it their all and made
Bradford proud. Not only did the athletes try their hardest, but their fans
never gave up either. At every game

Hawkins Dance. Weeks of hard work,
planning, and preparation went into
this much heralded and long-awaited
bash . The hillbilly theme of the dance
brought joy to many, but especially to
senior Ronda Kollman and junior Eric
Wnuck . They were elevated to the infamous ranks of immortality when they
were crowned Daisy Mae and L'il
Abner.

and club secretary Ted McMahon. "I
learned a lot about what my duties
were and what we should be doing."
Sub Deb was another dedicated organization which gave the student
body some memorable experiences.
The members spent most of their efforts in planning the club's annual winter formal. The dance, named "Winter
Renaissance," was held at the Italian-

Key Club and Sub Deb. The titles
alone brought about thoughts of two
distinct organizations which worked
for similar causes. Both clubs participated in numerous activities which pursued the goal of the benefit and betterment of school and community.
Key Club unlocked the door of success as activities piled higher and higher upon each other until the pinnacle
was toppled. By breaking through the
mysterious shroud of accomplishment,
Key Club latched on to the "key" ingredient of achievement. With the
help of advisor Mervin Bianchetti, the
club reached out to bring happiness
and aid to many.
Key Club traveled to various nursing
homes to brighten the days of many.
The students assisted residents at Halloween by carving jack-a-lanterns and
resurrecting memories. During the
Yuletide season, Key Clubbers brought
Christmas cheer to many retirement
homes by caroling merrily throughout
the halls. Both of these special occasions were widely appreciated, and everyone got a chance to be a part of
something extremely joyous and meaningful.
The main event, though, for Key
Club was of course the annual Sadie

The band "Evidence" put on a seemingly spectacular show in the midst of a
rustic, backwoods setting. The crowd
pranced and joked in authentic hillbilly
costumes among haybales. Most of the
students displayed a flair for creativity
by coming as their favorite Hatfield,
McCoy, or Clampet.
"We had a great time setting it up,
and I think everyone really enjoyed
themselves," claimed senior and Key
Club President Anne-Lauri Capelli. "It
was a good turn out and well worth the
effort."
Another grand occasion for Key Club
was the District Convention in Green
Bay, Wisconsin . Eleven Key Clubbers
attended the convention which
spanned a two day period from Friday
to Sunday afternoon. The meeting provided a chance for many Wisconsin and
Upper Michigan Key Clubs to meet
new people and to hold informative
discussions.
The participants voted on new officers, changed constitutional rules, held
caucuses, and introduced district officers to the ranks. However, what would
a convention be without a little fun? A
talent show and dance was held to create laughter and to cement friendships.
"It was great," exclaimed sophomore

American Club. The band "NinetyNine" provided the beat and seniors
Laura Udvare, Tracy Tower, and Beth
Lichter provided the festive colors and
ambiance.
"We were glad a lot of people came
this year," remarked senior and Sub
Deb President Laura Udvare. "Everyone involved did a really good job."
Another activity sponsored by Sub
Deb was Powder Puff Football. Many
girls signed up for an exhilarating
chance to have a great time and win.
However, spirit and enthusiasm were
the rules most of the teams competed
by. Under the direction of Sandra
Barry, the club ran a smooth show and
gave to all the memory of warmth and
sore muscles.
As can be seen, Key Club and Sub
Deb mixed efficiency with care, direction with spirit, and success with pride
to create remembrances which would
last forever. Both organizations gave
their all for the sake of school and community. They dreamed, they dared,
they soared. Instead of reaching selfishly for personal goals, they strived to
help not only themselves, but also others in need. Generosity was coupled
with gentleness in a never ending battle to make things better now.

Every high school student was familiar with the ritual of the sports assembly. In a numbing cadence, a seemingly
endless number of athletes were honored. While there seemed no end to
the praise and encouragement given to
the athletes of the school, precious little thought had ever been given to
those who excelled in the classroom
instead of the football field, to the
scholars of the school.
However, on October 8, 1985, a
ceremony was held to recognize incoming members of the Honor Society.
This event was an attempt to show the
worth of the scholastic achievements of
the students. But it also highlighted the

"You can never have too much education," he reflected.
To him, the standards for admission
into the Honor Society - a B + average
and three out of four quarters on the
Honor Roll - made sure that the
members were the ones who were the
most deserving, instead of creating an
intellectual clique. In fact, the requirements for Bradford's Honor Society
were less stringent than those of its
crosstown neighbor, Tremper. The
northside scholars needed one less
quarter on the Honor Roll for membership into the Honor Society.
However, one charge often heaved
at the Honor Society has always been

Honoring Top Young Scholars
young men and women who had
worked so hard for them. Indeed, the
ritual lighting of the candles, which
symbolized the qualities most valued
by the Honor Society, became a lighting of the hope for the future of these
students that they would continue the
promising start made in high school
and continue to revere the principles
learned at this time.
While Honor Society was not one of
the most active clubs, this was offset by
the fact that the majority of the members were also active in other organizations and were involved in a multitude
of projects outside of school. One case
in point was Senior Laura Udvare, who
in addition to being the 1986 Kenosha
Junior Miss, was president of Sub Deb,
maintained a 3.5 grade point avarge,
and was co-captain of the Porn-Pon
squad.
The task of guiding these talented
students was that of Mr. Ted Scropos
and Miss Sue Hinz. Part of the explanation for their combined twenty years of
service could be found in a remark
made by Mr. Scropos.

that its members were egocentric
"eggheads" who did not contribute to
the quality of life at school. But this was
an extremely narrow view, unfair to all
students.
"If you look (at the members) you will
find a great variety of people drawn
from the student body," commented
Senior Scott Ladewig. He added, "I've
enjoyed being involved with it, but I
wish we'd been a little more active."
While the fact that only four percent
of Bradford's students were in the
Honor Society bore witness to its academic exclusivity, other, less concrete
factors were considered besides the
grade point average: Such factors included service projects in or out of
school, membership in two or more organizations in school, and character.
Intangible elements like ethics or
positive behavior may have been the
reasons why some students chose not
to become members. On the other
hand, the great majority were only too
eager for the chance to be in the Honor Society. For along with its many duties and responsibilities, there was the

innate satisfaction of knowing they had
reached the highest level of learning.
The additional worth given to academics in the Eighties was a direct result of reports depicting a decline in
American education. Several states,
such as Texas, passed so-called "No
Pass-No Play" regulations. In these
cases, if a student did not pass all of his
classes, he would not be permitted to
participate in any extra-curricular activities such as sports.
"I don't think that this would work at
Bradford because the students are so
diverse here," remarked honor student
Wendy Stasik, a senior who, though immersed in such interests as Choir and A
V/Stage Crew, still managed to maintain membership in the Honor Society.
It was true that keeping up with the
rising academic load required by the
School Board and maintaining a membership in the Honor Society was often
a trying and difficult task; but at the
long awaited graduation ceremony,
with the gold honor tassle across their
shoulders, the students found it all
worthwhile.

"The speakers were educational and
each one talked from a different perspective," added junior Lee Lyles.
The students were divided into four
groups and exposed to a wide variety of
information. Financing, human sexual-

steamed through the mike as sophomore Kelly Griffin jammed as the deejay. The sponsored dance was .a success
because it raised about $300 which was

Paper streamers symbolizing every
color of the rainbow were strung on
the line of cars ready for the Homecoming Parade. Brightly decorated
signs with the cheer "GO! BRADFORD
GO!" were fastened on the cars even
though rain drizzled ·down.
Anticipation was in the air as the vehicles of the Minority Student Leadership Council and Rainbow Connection
were roaring to go. From blocks down
one's eye traveled to see if there was
indeed a pot of gold at the end of that
rainbow.
Participating in Homecoming festivities was not the only activity that both
clubs took an active part in. Both
M.S.L.C. and Rainbow Connection
were occupied with a list of scheduled
events.
M.S.L.C. held a convention in December at the University of Wisconsin
Oshkosh. Eyes scanned the crowded
halls searching for familiar faces while
voices of guest speakers were heard
throughout. Mr. Jawanza Kunjufu, a
key note speaker, addressed the room
filled with 200 to 300 participants from
the nine attending school districts.
"Listening to Mr. Jawanza Kunjufu
gave me a better outlook on life and
showed me the importance of obtaining a thorough education and standing

ity, and a skit performed by Bradford's
members entitled "How to Conduct a
Meeting Using Parliamentary Procedures" were a few of the sessions offered.
"Members of M.S.L.C. developed
their organizational and leadership
skills by participating in club activities
throughout the school year. The convention laid down the foundation for
those skills," commented Mrs. Stewart,
the advisor.
Participants roomed with other teens
from different schools, which gave
them the opportunity to make new
friends and learn about different people.
Vibrant music made the walls rock at
the Friday and Saturday night evening
socials.
"The dances were live. It was the
only time we really got to socialize,"
said junior Delanore Guyton.
Saturday night also featured a formal
banquet and a talent show. The talent
show had a variety of acts performed by
students such as dramatic readings,
music talents, and poetry.
Rainbow Connection and M.S.L.C.
participated together in activities
throughut the year such as food drives
for needy families at Thanksgiving and
Christmas time. The organizations to-

lastic awards for senior club members.
"It's a lot of work. You have to be
dedicated to participate in all of the
club's activities," commented senior
Yolanda Finley.
In February both organizations celebrated Black History Month by setting
up a multi-cultural celebration at the
Coleman Chapel A.M.E. Church. It featured the Community Choir from Racine/Milwaukee and guest speaker
Rev. Gerald Safford, director and creator of the Community Choir.
Rainbow Connection's members
were dedicated to the club by attending all meetings and supporting the
club through candy sales and other
fund raisers.
Both clubs promoted unity and
awareness among people of all nationalities. A bright spot in Rainbow Connection was its first white club member
last year, Dinine Elbe. She set the example and other teens followed in her
footsteps.
Minority Student Leadership Council
and Rainbow Connection were assets
throughout the year by promoting
leadership and forming the student
body as a "whole." There was indeed a
pot of gold at the end of that rainbow.

trudged through the anonymity anyway. The council was not after fame or
glory. It searched for richer rewards,
such as the enrichment of the school
and community. The forty-nine member council governed with spirit and
marked the year with many memorable
and exhilarating achievements and

At the beginning of the year, the

tion. Homecoming was a major item on
the agenda. The council kept busy by
holding a spirit week prior to Homecoming and by making arrangements
for the Homecoming Court elections.
The council also ran the coronation assembly, the Homecoming parade, and
halftime activities at the game.
"It took a lot of organization and
work for this year's Homecoming,"
claimed senior and Student Council
President Beth Lichter. She added,
"Mr. Hoferitza helped us a lot."
Moreover, the council raised hopes
and money by selling candy, sponsoring a blood drive, giving various scholarships to deserving students, and running a spring door decorating contest.
The holidays also proved to be a busy
time for the Student Council. The
members gathered food for a Thanksgiving basket which was delivered to a
needy family. During Christmas, the
council chose another needy family
and gave them Yuletide joy with donations of money and gifts. Members of
the council brought happiness to many

winners were given medals.
In addition, the council did not just
keep old customs alive. Council members created new traditions of their
own. They decided to honor the dedication of the teachers, custodians, and
secretaries with an Appreciation Day
which included food and flowers.
"We just wanted to let them know
we cared," commented one council
member, junior Billy Franks. "The
council felt the staff deserved some attention and thanks."
Some members of the council represented the school in a Big Nine Leadership Seminar which included meetings
and exchanges between regional high
schools. They discussed the standings
and achievements of the various councils.
Providing many of the new features
around the school, Student Council
bought new tables for the commons
and created a new school flag through a
contest.
However, the council had periods of
inactivity. During these times, when

the council did not have much to occupy its time, it supported other clubs by
loaning out money and placing patron
ads in newspapers and programs.
"The council, with willingness and
imagination, furthered positive effects
throughout the community and the
school," stated advisor Hoferitza. "We
felt proud to help those who needed
us."
"We feel the students should know
we are there to represent them. The
student body should take advantage of
our position to bargain for them," remarked senior class representative
Robert Riva.
Student Council gave, with its time, a
special brand of dedication. The politics of high school may not be fast
paced or its victories hard fought, but
Student Council surpassed this image
with diligence and assurance.
In handling affairs of state, the council brought confidence to decision
making in a way which benefitted everyone.

"By signing it, both parties agree
to call for a ride if they are ever
in a situation of having too much
to drink."

By Scott Schutz and Karen Wiegert

Jean Hazelton were all advisors to the
club.
With approximately forty members
in the club, Bradford's SADD chapter
was quite active. The club started off
the year by entering a car and a truck in
the Homecoming parade.
"Being in the Homecoming parade
was really fun," said senior Lora Sabol.
"We originally planned on having a
float, but with being a new club and
only having two weeks to prepare, it
was too difficult to do."
SADD was also involved in the fall

man.
Cohan accepted the position with
great enthusiasm . His first reaction to
the actual job was astonishment,
though.
"I really didn't know what I was getting myself into," said Cohan. "I never
realized how much time and effort was
required. I had a lot of help from some
students who had been in the club before. I was very pleased with the year's
turnout, but I hope to be a little more
organized next year."
Members of STS were again involved

Breaking Patterns Of The Past
"Help! I need somebody. Help! Not
just anybody. Help! You know I need
someone. Help!" When the Beatles first
sang this song back in the 60s, people
reacted and gave a helping hand. That
friendly spirit was still alive in two clubs,
SADD and STS both gave a helping
hand to those around them.
One concern that motivated students to give a helping hand was drunk
driving. It is a well known fact that
more people are killed each year at the
hands of drunk drivers than all Americans killed in the Vietnam War, which
spanned the course of ten years. Because of this fact, Robert Anastas
founded the National SADD organization in 1981 - Students Against Driving Drunk .
Since then, more than six thousand
SADD chapters have sprung up in high
schools across the country. And during
the past year, students at Bradford have
started their own SADD chapter. It not
only attracted much student interest,
but teacher interest as well. Helen
Jones, Nick Sturino, Liz Whitefoot, and

Open House. A table was set up with
brochures, pins, and Contracts For Life.
"The Contract For Life is an agreement between parents and their teenager," explained senior Mike Tolnai.
"By signing it, both parties agree to call
for a ride if they are ever in a situation
of having too much to drink."
Other activities that SADD participated in included donating baked
goods to the Coaches' Dance-A-Thon
and running an ad in the Christmas Eve
issue of the Kenosha News.
The Bradford SADD chapter had a
busy schedule during its first year, and
it did accomplish its primary goal - to
increase public awareness and to gain
recognition. After all, it was just the
beginning.
STS (Students Teaching Students)
had another busy year, but with a major
change. Mark Cohan replaced Charles
Chatman as advisor. Chatman had been
the advisor for several years.
"It was a necessary choice. I had to
make room in my schedule for other
things, such as coaching," said Chat-

in v1s1ting the Kenosha elementary
schools. The purpose was to teach kids
about the dangers of smoking and its
effects on a person's health. This was
accomplished through the use of a
slide presentation, free booklets, and a
"smoking lung" demonstration .
On November 21, three STS members, seniors Kirsten Jones, Tracy
Towers, and Karen Wiegert, accompanied Cohan and Chatman to the Seventy-seventh Annual Meeting of the
American Lung Association of Wisconsin at the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee.
The group received a special invitation
to see the previews of a slide presentation that will be shown to kids across
the country by the American Lung Association. Jones and Wiegert were featured in the film for their involvment in
STS.
Help was what they gave to those
around because they cared. Whether
the problem was large or small, they
tackled it. This willing spirit and caring
attitude fostered a feeling of oneness.

Murals containing every color of the
spectrum highlighted the club's stimulating year.
Members were involved in the promotion of Octoberfest at Super-Yalu
food store. With a bar of soap in one
hand and the preliminary sketch in the
other, members of the group worked
numerous hours designing German
Challettes and even included pictures
of the store's owners in festive German
costumes. After days of hard work, they
applied the finishing touches and started planning their next project.
Strolling down the hallways of
Brookside Center, participants sized up
their sketches and began the time-consuming task of composing a mural for
the children's wing. A peaceful unicorn
and landscapes with soothing colors of
subtle yellow and sky blue flowed onto
the walls, covering the remnants of Sesame Street characters painted in the
earlier years.
"You got to select your own ideas
and pictures. It was a good feeling
knowing that your work would benefit
the patients," said junior Sue Matoska.
The club molded a new image of serenity for the center.

us for the holiday season.
A number of fund raisers were held
such as bake sales, and the traditional
donuts from Conwau's Bakery were
sold in the morning before school.
Not only was Art Club involved in
school related activities but with extracurricular as well. Members donated
nutritious breads and fruits along with
other dishes to needy families around
the holidays. They also donated pinatas,
which they made themselves, to orphanages.
Creativity, however, came in many
forms, and one of these appeared via a
magazine from Bradford.
Did you ever write a story that you
just couldn't keep to yourself? Or a
special poem that you simply had to
share with your best friend? Or perhaps created a picture that you wanted
the whole world to see? Well, maybe
not the whole world, but at least Bradford's student body?
The creative writing team along with
Bradford's talented artists teamed up
together to do just that: compose another edition of the literary magazine
- Bradlit.
It is a magazine put together by
members of the faculty, but composed
of works by the students. Though it is in

the SPY's club's section, Bradlit does
not function as a standard, everyday
club . One does not have to be a cheerleader or an athlete to join. Participants
were volunteers who donated their
time to put out the edition. They also
volunteered to sell M&M's to raise the
$1 , 100 dollars needed to produce the
250 books printed.
"I volunteered to sell candy for Bradlit because I think it's a good cause and
it's an emphasis on creativity of individuals in this school," said Franca Savaglio, a senior .
"The main reason fo r providing
Bradlit is to see what fellow students
have written and produced," said Lynn
Schmidt, one of the faculty involved in
the production.
Bradlit has been in existence since
the late 60's and has been produced on
and off during the years until 1979
when it began to be circulated consecutively.
"Bradlit is interesting to read because
it has stories that students composed
and that students can relate to," said
junior Laurie Lehmann.
Whether as a painted masterpiece or
a written epic, the creative talents of
many students were shared with others
for the enrichment of all.

four points, and most of the rest were
like Heller, who had twenty-three,
coming within a few points of perfection.
While all the winners felt jubilation at
their accomplishments, some felt just a
little more at that moment.
Senior Ron Kelly remarked, "While
my first two years were exciting, this
year was the best because I shared this
achievement with so many others from

and Old Lace and The Butler Did It, the
actors featured were able to communicate humor and farce with the laughs in
the right places.
For several members of the casts of
both plays, the experience was their
first in front of an audience.
"It wasn't that hard to do, and the
difference between Forensics and Drama wasn't that large," said senior Fred
Greco, an award winner at the State

"At first, when I started, I thought I
would be an outsider, but they made
me feel welcome and really helped me
to become a better actress."
What club reassured sophomore
Gwen Heller and urged her on to new
heights? It was none other than one of
the school's most outgoing, creative,
and award-winning organizations
around . Through workshops, rehearsals, and plays, the Drama Club produced an enthusiastic assembly of talent, and in conjunction with Forensics,
taught everything from public speaking
to ensemble acting. The related activities of both groups furthered the hallowed tradition of student drama at
Bradford.
For those students involved in Forensics, their commitment consisted of a
roughly two month "season" which
culminated with the State Forensics
meet in Madison on April 19, 1986.
Twenty-seven students performed in
such categories as solo acting, group
interpretation, and prose reading. Out
of the twenty-seven, nine received
"Critic's Choice" awards, given for
achieving a perfect score of twenty-five
points. Nine others were given twenty-

Bradford."
But aside from the large number of
trophies won, a larger purpose drove
the students, and their advisors, on.
"To give students a chance to grow"
was a reason given by one of the Forensics advisors, Gary Shaver. Basically,
winning awards was a byproduct on the
way to building self-confidence and
reaching the greatest possible potential
for each individual student.
As Heller added, "Forensics is an area
where you have much more individual
responsibility to work on your presentation, whatever form it may take."
Several aids to this self-determination included videotapes of the students' rehearsals, and advice from different perspectives - Shaver and Nick
Sturino, the Drama Club advisor. However, because of the close relationship
between the two areas of study, there
was no marked difference between
Drama and Forensics.
With Drama itself, the same esprit de
corps and camaraderie existed among
the entire ensemble, with similar results. But one did not have to go to
Madison to see it in action.
In the two plays presented, Arsenic

contest and a feature in The Butler Did
It. For Greco, acting was both rewarding and non-threatening.
Some in the Drama Club had, as
mentioned, never acted in public before, But others had taken advantage of
the many amateur theatre opportunities in Kenosha. For example, the Children's Theatre provided experience in
front of young audiences during the
summer months.
A different type of skill was called on
from certain Drama Club members
during the production of Arsenic and
Old Lace. The play's advisor and director, Sturino, was hospitalized for an extended period of time due to back injuries. The formidable task of presenting the play fell to Shaver, A.V. Coordinator Roger Stasik, and senior Lyna
Paukstelis.
For Paukstelis, the experience was an
eye-opening look at the work involved.
As she recalled, "It was a very big responsibility, and a lot of hard work. I
never had any idea of the huge amount
of time it took to get it all done in
time."
In the face of adversity, these two
clubs get it done.

The Inferno had two main responsibilities. First, it was a service to students

have. Second, it showed the staff the

read," added junior Mary Weiss.
'Dirty Laundry' provided a sarcastic
outlook on life spiced with a bit of dry
humor. For example, it covered topics
such as "Kenosha, a Bustl'n Town" and
a favorite entitled "Terror for Profit,"
which referred to the world of global
warfare and how "the governments
buy weapons as if they were going
down to the corner store to buy a bottle of nuclear milk and a loaf of plutonium."
When asked if story ideas were hard
to come up with, Lyna Paukstelis replied, "Oh ya! Sometimes my story is
handed in six days after deadline. I just
have to wait until something strikes me
funny and then I can write about it
once I know what I want to say."
Besides the popular column, sixteen
fresh writers and stories composed the
Inferno. Ranked among the top ten
percent in the country, Inferno won its
third consecutive Goerge H. Gallup
Award. An honor also received by the
Inferno was the Best Truck Award at
the Homecoming Parade for their dis-

the favorites were controversial issues
such as early dismissed for seniors."
"I like it when they talk to the students, when .the students get involved," commented junior Lisa Bianchi.
Nonetheless, Inferno dealt with
something about the students in every
issue. "It's a lot of fun being on Inferno," chuckled sports editor Dan Pacetti, a senior, "but, we have out moments." Inferno, distributed in biweekly editions, was brought to the presses
of the Kenosha Labor Paper and ran off
there. "The fun part is going over to a
staff member's house night before to
stuff papers," said advertising manager
and senior Brian Thomas. "We usually
end up having a great time."
The sister of the Inferno was the Inferno photographers. Taken as an elective course, the only requirements
were that they have a strong interest in
photography and that they were dependable.
"Being an Inferno photographer
proved to be beneficial because I

learned how to take better pictures and
it o( ~ned new ideas for a career
choh e," commented junior Diana
White.
Junior Jackie Becker attended a
workshop on a scholarship at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater this
past summer. "I never thought I could
picture myself using a camera with all of
those numbers on it, but, after attending the workshop, it was as easy as pie."
Inferno was evaluated by the Quill
and Scroll International Honorary Society for High School Journalists. Their
primary function was to increase the
quality of high school journalism workshop, which as many as possible staff
members attended.
As all things must come to an end,
the typewriters have broken down,
Lyna Paukstelis has cleaned her laundry, and all of the aspirin for headaches
has disappeared. With one year experience in the newspaper media, the Inferno staff was set free to progress on
to bigger and better things.

school though most people did not
take advantage of this service.
After the semester break, Fencing
Club really hit the bottom of the barrel.
Only one or two people showed up for
the meetings. For that reason Mr. Hein,
the Parkside coach, stopped coming
because he wanted at least four regular
fencers. Those members who did show
up for the meetings didn't know if Hein
was going to be with them or not.
"The students quit before Mr. Hein
quit," stated Jacqueline Yates, one of
the coaches. Yates believes if a halfdozen people would come regularly,
Hein would co_me. Fencers will be_giv-

some reason or another they backed
out. The school board wanted Bradford
to cancel the ski weekend "because of
the actions of certain members of
Tremper's Club at last year's ski weekend," according to various rumors.
When the Ski Club finally got permission to go, members received yet another hassle from the school board on
what time they were supposed to leave.
Of course, the school board got their
way and the Ski Club left Friday after
school.
About twenty Ski Club members arrived at Powder Horn at 10:00 p.m. Six
to eight people stayed in a room each

Skiers Schuss, Fencers Fail
Life is a question of priorities. Everyone must make decisions on what is
most important. Sometimes these decisions are hard; sometimes they are easy.
In any case, no matter which decision
was made, something was hurt.
This was the case of Fencing Club and
Ski Club. Members of both had to
make decisions about their club's existence. Membership in Fencing Club
had gone down considerably because
former members made other things a
priority over Fencing Club.
Ski Club members faced a weekly decision of whether to join the group at
various ski spots. It was rather expensive to go every other week, so many
times trips had to be cancelled due to
lack of participation. These two clubs
were never made a number one priority by its members.
However, the clubs made its members a priority. Fencing club was scheduled to meet every week. Any interested members could participate after

en one more chance next year to have
a club. If there is a club next year, there
won't be anyone really experienced
enough to show leadership.
Yates believes the credit change for
sophomores really hurt the Fencing
Club. Another reason for the downfall
of the Fencing Club was that most of
the veterans looked for jobs or were
involved in a sport.
One veteran member, senior Brad
Beaulieu, stated, "I was no longer interested because of the lack of people involved."
Fencers did practice in the commons
and the gymnasium until they were
kicked out. That was another problem
for the Fencing Club because people
had always watched them and this had
attracted new people to the club.
Ski Club had their share of problems
too. The biggest problem was to get
people to go on the weekend ski trip to
Black Jack and Powder Horn. Some
people said they would go, but for

with its own kitchen.
Saturday, students spent all day skiing
from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. When the
Ski Club members weren't skiing, they
swam in the pool, relaxed in the whirlpool or in the sauna, or played video
games in the arcade. The weather was a
little cool in the morning, but it got
warmer as the day went on.
Sunday the weather was a lot warmer, but it started raining in the morning.
Despite the soggy conditions, Sunday
morning the Ski Club travelled to Black
Jack, which was only a couple of miles
from Powder Horn and skied from 9:00
a.m. to 1:00 p.m . They returned to
Powder Horn and skied for another
couple of hours.
The weekend ended when the members returned to Bradford, tired by
happy. One Ski Club member described the ski weekend as "a great
weekend, but it was a little slushy on
Sunday."

Wargamers Keep Rolling
The Wargamers gathered together
every Friday to participate in games
that challenged their imaginations. Few
of the players were novices to the art. A
great majority had been involved with
the fantasy games for many years.
The games used by the players tended to fall in two categories, fantasy wargaming and science fiction role playing.
While the fantasy wargames tended to
be set in a fictional medieval kingdom,
the science fiction games usually found
inspiration from novels of that genre.
Games such as the classic 'Dungeons
and Dragons,' 'Rolemaster,' and 'Chill'
were populated by a motley assortment
of devious dragons and wizards. They
were the oldest type of role playing
and the most widely played. Ironically,
one of the most popular games, 'Rolemaster,' contained an intricate set of
guidelines.
On the other side of the coin, science fiction games appealed to the
player with a more scientific, analytical
mind. The games ranged from 'Star

Milwaukee due to its overwhelming
popularity.
Senior Tim Reyes described the convention. "(It is) a convention where interested people all over the country
gather to play or watch the games."
There were two major objections to
the games wargamers played. First, a
charge that had often been leveled at
wargamers was that the games led
many players to devil worship. Club
members were all soundly against
this idea.
"I feel that they are wrong. I don't
know of any people who have 'worshipped' the Devil. I think this is a
scapegoat used by angry mothers to explain their child's problems," said senior Brad Beaulieu, a club member.
Second, some players took wargamers so seriously that they tended to
try to live out their fantasies through
the games. One extreme case involved
James Dallas Egbert Ill, who tried to live
out his "Dungeons and Dragons' fantasy life. Basically a shy individual, urged

by his domineering mother, he entered
Michigan State University at the naive
age of sixteen. Involvement in D and D
led him to believe he was as powerful as
his character in the game, which he
wasn't. The game became so real to him
that he began to play a real life version
of the game in the tunnels under the
campus.
Fortunately, this fantasy living was
just one instance. Most wargamers
were able to separate fantasy from reality and enjoy the fun offered without
getting carried away.
Everyday routine getting dull? Looking for a little 'spice of life'? Then maybe the Wargamers Club could fit the
bill. This is one club that could satisfy
the biggest appetite for adventure. It
was not the most popular, or the one
with a multitude of fair-weather members who went to one meeting and
never showed up again. The students
involved in War gamers were the truly
dedicated.

harder it became to meet yet another
deadline, the greater the feeling of victory snatched from the jaws of defeat
when that deadline was actually met.
And another lucky escape from the
wrath of the SPY's Editor-in-Chief, senior Linda Becker.
Becker stated, "It was a lot of fun
overall, but it was also a big headache

must fall, and for the SPY it appeared in
the form of a train of never-ending
sales. Candy, Christmas ornaments and
appeals to local businesses to place ads
in the yearbook took up a large block
of the revenue collected throughout
the year.
To junior Tina Paskiewicz, "I became
very tired of it because a lot of other

SPY: We're Watching You
World War II. Watergate. Vietnam.
Through all of these events, one factor
was decisive - the power of the press.
In fact, the art of reporting events and
presenting them to the public in an understandable manner has always been
an awesome responsibility. To act as a
mirror for society required both the
objectivity to perceive both the good
and the bad and the courage to publish
both.
This was true for every publication in
America, from giants like the New York
Times to the Bradford yearbook, the
SPY. While the process of putting a
yearbook was not thought of as a demanding task by most students, the
staff of the SPY had one of the hardest
jobs in the school. They had to record
all noteworthy events of the year in
such a manner that the yearbook would
still be read twenty years later. However, each staffer could depend on the
assistance of every other staffer and the
advice of the book's advisor, Marvin
Madder.
"The friendliness of the staff, combined with the pressure of completing
a major publication, gave me a tremendous feeling of accomplishment," reflected senior Gina Radandt, a member
of the Clubs section. Strangely, the

sometimes because not many people
met each deadline."
Part of the staff's difficulty in sending
pages off to the yearbook factory lay in
the schedule of events throughout the
year, which were not designed with
being recorded for posterity in mind .
Moreover, the individual parts of each
page or "spread" were not always
ready at the same time, resulting in a
frenzied rush finish. But the 1986 SPY,
with its modern magazine style and
professional - quality writing, reflected only the talent in the staff, not any
possible lack of punctuality.
If the preceding painted a gloomy
picture, then a few memorable events
should dispell that impression. One of
these occurred at the beginning of the
school year with SPY's entry in the annual Homecoming parade. This grand
production featured the male staffers
in cheerleader outfits and female staffers dressed as the opposing teams,
Racine Park and Bradford. The scoreboard theme read "Wait, It Gets Better!"
"Of course, the home team Bradford
prevailed in the end," remembered
SPY photographer senior Lyna Paukstelis.
Into every bright picture some rain

organizations at Bradford were selling
at the same time as SPY was, so we
didn't sell that much, or raise as much
money as we needed."
But with various rewards for high ad
sales, the SPY met its five thousand dollars in fundraising and strived towards a
new goal of six thousand dollars.
Due to the high cost of the year's
book, Madder threatened to reduce
the size of the next year's book by
twenty-six pages.
"It might contain fewer pages, but it
will definitely continue the SPY tradition of a high level of quality," promised Madder.
The year also brought a diamond anniversary to the yearbook. To commemorate the seventy-fifth edition of
the publication, a diamond logo was
placed on each page, and each section
featured quotes from the several past
editions of the SPY which featured
highlights of many of the decades of
Bradford's history. As senior layout editor Tim Reyes put it, "Seeing a yearbook from the past made me aware of
our great heritage - and our responsibility to continue that heritage."
Of course, while recording history
one had to meet deadlines. Otherwise,
a large ominous shadow appeared ...

Dance run by DECA, which provided
some unique costumes and remembrances.
However, DECA was not all fun and
games. The members worked extremely hard for their many deserving honors
and awards. Many DECA-ites took part
in the Skills Olympics in April at the
Gateway Technical Institute. This and
other events such as the Chapter Officers Workshop in Stevens Point, Wisconsin and various leadership labs
helped prepare members for many
hard-fought but rewarding victories.
Another event was the Mini-Competition with Tremper at home in November. A spirit of friendship and confidence gave the competition a special
meaning for many.
"Having the Mini-Competition was a
great idea," claimed senior Maureen
Mullane. "I think it gave everyone
some insight on what to expect in future competitions."
The Central Region Leadership Conference in Milwaukee was another

Winners in Apparel and Accessories included seniors Suzette Loverine,
Debby Lasco, Maureen Mullane, Terri
Theriault, and juniors Lisa Giordano
and Tricia Hockney. Senior Giulia Rovella was a winner in Finance and Credit. Winners in General Merchandise included seniors Carrie Glidden, Kris Hilliard, and juniors Bob Wegner, Jamie
Pierce, and Wendy Glidden. In Restaurant Marketing, the following students
won awards: seniors Jean Wermske,
Gina Adamson, Don Conradt, and junior Kelly Jensen. Winners in Entrepreneurship included Conradt, Wermske,
and Adamson. In Free Enterprise, Giordana and Hockney were winners. And
in the Public Relations Team Event,
Lasco and Wegner won. But the big
winner at state was senior Brent Young
in Food Marketing, who took first place
medals in six out of six categories.
Young was the first person ever to win
all events in a series. Overall, the Bradford DECA Chapter finished second
among the one-hundred four schools
present - their highest finish ever.
However, the crowning achievement
for DECA was their trip to Atlanta,
Georgia for the National Career Development Conference. The following

members qualified for Nationals:
Young, Hilliard, Loverine, Lasco,
Wermske, Conradt, Mullane, Jensen,
Giordano, Wegner, and Hockney. Top
honors went to Loverine in the Apparel
and Accessories written event, which
detailed a forty page research paper.
This achievement designated her as
one of the top fifteen finishers in the
nation.
"Not only receiving national recognition but also being at the conference
was a great experience," proclaimed
Loverine. "Besides all of that, everyone
had a great time and gathered some
fond memories."
Other activities that DECA was involved in included Christmas caroling
at Brookside Nursing Home, helping to
put together a Free Enterprise supplement for the Kenosha News during National Free Enterprise Week, and donating an electronic message board to
the school which hangs near the Main
Office.
All in all, the Bradford DECA Chapter
had quite a busy - but rewarding year.
Though the activities and competitions
ended, the winning spirit never does. It
was this winning spirit that carried
them to greater heights.

In a year filled with progress and
improvement, the work of some
did not receive recognition. But
that was not their goal; excellence was
By Ann Laabs

Usually, a few days before a meet, or
mathematics competition, reviews of
the material might be held, but on the
whole no extensive drills were conducted in preparation.
The Math Team went to four major
meets over the course of the year. The
results were diverse. The competition
held at the Milwaukee School of Engineering produced a placing of 19th out

who wanted to go beyond the classroom the CPA Club gave 40 students
that chance.
The bulk of the club's activities were
directed towards the profit margin, for
only by hands-on experience could
they grasp the real gist of accounting.
This was done by selling the ever-popular popcorn and soda at the school's
athletic events and hosting a dance.

Stocks, Bonds, And Popcorn
Can you recall who invented the
fork? Or perhaps the nameless individual who first thought of putting tomato
sauce on bread and gave the world pizza? Throughout history, truly immortal
inventions have been brought to light
by people who remained forever
nameless.
At Bradford, a number of talented
persons labored tirelessly to bring honor and glory to their school. However,
they did not do it athletics, but in a
more cerebral area. For instance, if
working on equations or computer
math was your version of a slam dunk,
then the idea of membership in the
Math Tearn was very attractive. However, obscurity was an unfortunate part of
the process.
The selection of potential Math
Tearn members was not rigorous. The
advisors, John Cibrario and Gerry Solberg, asked juniors of merit in their
math classes if they would care to join.
As opposed to clubs which had
elaborate rituals, regular meetings, and
dozens of on and off members, the
Math Team went through the year under a slightly different set of rules.
Meetings were rare, which was understandable, given the nature of the organization.

of 30 schools entered. But in the computer math problem segment of the
competition, the team took 3rd. Also,
they placed in the top ten at the UWWhitewater meet. All of the meets required a small fee, which was usually
handled by the school.
What was expected of a student at a
competition? A variety of tests was given, including algebra, geometry, algebra 2, trigonometry, and mathematic
word problems.
The reasons behind students' involvement were many, but the main
reason seemed to be a desire "to represent the school in our own way,"
according to senior Scott Ladewig. And
by their efforts, they showed excellence, not only in the results but in
their spirit.
A group which faced the same problems of lack of recognition and appreciation was a club dedicated to promoting the exacting profession of accounting. Even though accountants did
people's taxes, planned finances, and
generally made everyone else's fiscal
lives easier, they were not often noted
for their efforts of achievements.
To become one of these professionals, many years of training were needed, beginning in high school. For those

These efforts not only taught good
business practice, but they also provided entertainment for the student
body.
The world of stocks and bonds,
mixed with a little high finance, also
came on to the scene. About twenty of
the club's members contributed five
dollars each towards the purchase of a
major stock. The advance or decline of
this stock was posted on a large bulletin
board.
However, not all of the club's energies were directed towards making
money. Several volunteers worked at
the local soup kitchens, helping to get
meals to the underprivileged members
of the Kenosha community.
Other events during the year included an excursion to Chicago to view the
Board of Trade in action, giving CPA
Club members a glimpse into the fiscal
whirlwind.
While both these organizations deserved much more acknowledgment
than they received, both made important behind-the-scenes contributions
towards making life better at Bradford.
Improvement was their main goal, for
both themselves and their school. The
lack of recognition was accepted as a
part of making it better now.

"It is time for a new generation of
leadership, to cope with new problems
and new opportunities. For there is a
new world to be won," stated John F.
Kennedy during a television address on
July 4, 1960, but it still holds true today.
Strengthening leadership skills was
one of the main objectives of VICA and
FBLA. This was accomplished through
many different activities.
VICA (Vocational Industrial Clubs of
America) was actually composed of two
separate clubs, one for the automotive
shop and the other for the machine
shop. Although VICA had two distinct
clubs, they worked closely together

in a community service project. During
the Christmas season, they donated
money to the Soup Kitchen of Kenosha.
On February 27, VICA members
went on a field trip to Chicago. They
visited McCormick Place, where they
attended the International Auto Aftermarket Show.
"The field trip was really fun," said
senior Tom Odegaard. "It was interesting to see the different cars and their
mechanics."
Monthly meetings were held for
VICA members over which elected officers presided. All meetings were run

"FBLA is fun," said senior
member Brenda Schmunck.
"We really do learn leadership
skills while taking part in club activities."

By Kar en Wi egert

Leadership On The Upswing
throughout the year on various activities.
During the first part of the year, VICA
members participated in various skill
contests. These included the Tri-County and the VICA Skills Olympics.
In November, members of VICA attended a regional leadership lab in Delavan, Wisconsin and a national leadership lab in Columbus, Nebraska. Students who participated included juniors Terry Fletcher, Domenico DeBartolo, Tim Pfleger, Brian Chartier, and
seniors Jeff Mish, Steve Bellow, Steve
Gomez, Mike May, Mike Passarelli, and
Rich Poppe. During the labs, students
learned and used various leadership
skills and qualities, such as how to conduct meetings, give speeches, and use
proper business procedures.
A dance was sponsored by VICA in
December. The money raised was put
in the treasury for future field trips and
other activities.
Members of VICA were also involved

according to parliamentary procedure.
Throughout the year, VICA had its
own bulletin boards near the industrial
arts section of the building. These were
used to showcase the club, its students,
and their achievements.
FBLA (Future Business Leaders of
America) was another busy club. After
their installation of officers in September, members jumped right into their
activities.
One of FBLA's first projects was a
community service project. It involved
delivering Mobile Meals to elderly
people of Kenosha during Thanksgiving. The meals included the traditional
turkey, stuffing, potatoes, cranberries,
corn, carrots, and a pumpkin pie for
desert.
"This was really a fun project to do,"
said senior Cindy Vines. "The time and
effort spent was minimal compared to
the great rewards. It was nice to see the
people smile. They really appreciated
the meals."

The Christmas season was actually
the busiest time of the year for FBLA
members. Students were involved in
many different activities, such as a
breakfast meeting at the Elks Club, caroling at Woodstock Nursing Home, and
again providing Mobile Meals for families in Kenosha. They also donated
some of their time to the Soup Kitchen
by working there occasionally.
But FBLA members were not only involved with projects. They, too, participated in various skill contests, such as
attending a conference in St. Louis and
attending the regional competition. In
February, students also participated in a
type-a-thon, in which money raised
was donated to a local charity.
Overall, VICA and FBLA were two of
the busiest clubs. And why not? The
students of today will be the leaders of
tomorrow. As John F. Kennedy said,
there is a new world to be won .. . ..

Changes For Band Students
This memorable quote from Lance
Morrow seemed to sum up the reasons, and the ultimate benefits of, participation in the Band program . However, the lack of instant results prompted some to ask if the creative arts
were as vital to the students as math or
history. In fact , those in the two bands,
Concert and Symphony, received lessons in those areas also.
For the sophomores and the seniors,
the year was marked by measures that
tested their knowledge of all areas of
music. When added to the more traditional showcases, the contests and concerts, music critics' charges were answered with true dedication and effort.
However, this dedication was shown
in other times besides the school year.
In the summer band programs, such as
the Band of the Black Watch , students
played not for grades, but for the love
of music.
The bands from Tremper and Bradford combined to form a band of 189
members that traveled from Florida to
Michigan, spreading an excellent image
for both Kenosha and its educational
system .
But in addition to giving the young
musicians a summer filled with chalCONCERT BAND: (front) Che r i Sprague, Ca r ina

ed senior Fred Greco, a Symphony
Band member and three year veteran
of the Black Watch.
He added, " You had to learn four
pieces in a month . Also, you had to be
abl e to march a thirteen minute field
drill at the same time. "
Another aspect of band that improved the morale of many in the
bands was the partial return to the old
format Variety Show. Due to a lack of
student involvement the previous year,
the show had featured mostly band
tunes. Its successor contained a larger
number of student acts combined with
the most popular of the band's songs,
such as "Latina."
In lieu of a trip to a music festival, the
Symphony entered the Group Contest
held by the School District. The added
factor of playing before judges created
a higher level of concentration - and
tension .
" Sometimes it feels like band is becoming my whole life, but that's because band is more than a class," said
junior Kelly Schlevensky.
It was often noted that the hours
spent on music could easily outnumber
those dedicated to other classes. But
instead of a term paper, the Spring and

should have a comprehensive knowledge of the music beyond just being
able to play the notes. Thus, a series of
tests were given on note values, music
keys, and sight reading. Many in the
bands were forced to give real effort to
the task, often after years of neligible
study in the area.
"People have tests in every other
subject, so tests in Band shouldn't be
that surprising," said Tenor saxophonist
and senior Cathy Dieter.
All the differing comments on that
subject showed a clear division of opinions that were opposed on that particular issue, but united on the one that
was most important: the continued
success of the band as a vital contributor to the student's life at school. As
long as the bands provided creative
outlet for students, they would exist as a
valuable part of tne educational process at any cost.
They would continue to be part of
the neverending improvement that was
the hallmark of the school, not letting
events pass them by, but creating
events at the present time for the enjoyment of all through music, the international language. What better reason
could there be?

English . History. Math . These were
the subjects most often recalled when
reminiscing about high school. However, for some former students, different
memories came to mind. Some of these
included such names at Stradivarius,
Mozazrt, and Paganini, not to mention
countless hours of practice and numerous concerts.
Who were these students? Obsessed
musicians slaving over battered violins
by candlelight? The modern orchestra

of the orchestra members also contributed to the performances of the Symphony. In order for the student to be
able to play with the group, no formal
audition was required. If a student was
judged worthy by the director, he
could have a chance with the older musicians.
In a function more closely related to
school, the combined orchestras
played host to all the other orchestras
at the annual Orchestra Festival. Be-

Some of the most important lessons were not taught in the

student hardly fit that outdated stereotype. The sophomores, juniors, and
seniors who made up the orchestra and
its smaller offshoot the Chamber Orchestra, were gifted, hardworking musicians, all dedicated to creating excellent music.
Although the group's bi-annual concerts were often the only occasions
when most people saw them in action,
both groups took on a full schedule of
events throughout the year. By combining hard work and educational experience, this branch of the music department broadened the musical horizons of its members.
Certainly one of the most pleasant
occasions during the year was the task
of providing the musical entertainment
at the open house for the Educational
Support Center. In addition to creating
a ambiance for the proceedings, it
"formed a favorable impression of the
program at Bradford" in the opinion of
the conductor of both groups, Mr. David Schripsema.
It was Mr. Schripsema's other role as
the conductor of the Kenosha Symphony that created another outlet for
the young musician's talent. About ten

sides being an opportunity to socialize
with other musicians, the large attendance at the performances gave continuing evidence of the strength of the
music programs not only at Bradford
but throughout the entire School District.
However, being an orchestra member did not mean an endless round of
concerts. On the contrary, there were
several occasions when hard work was
rewarded with field trips, which combined learning and education.
"(The trip to Canada) was very enightening. The people were nice, and
when you go somewhere, you get a
chance to see different people and
places," remarked junion Scott Lyons.
Even though the orchestra's trips
were not as extensive as in previous
years, the journey to Canada, for example several trips to see world class orchestras in action were planned.
One of these was a trip up to Milwaukee to see the Milwaukee Symphony at work. On a slightly larger scale, an
all-day trip to Chicago, combining the
Chicago Symphony, a performance of
the musical Cats, and a performance by
the orchestra in front of judges was

proposed.
Unfortunately, these trips had to be
paid for, summoning the unwelcome
specter of the fundraiser. While the director felt that the school district
should help in some fashion, most students felt that fundraising was a necessary evil.
"It's a good way to raise money, but it
gets monotonous because everybody's
selling the same thing at the same
time," reflected sophomore Tamera
Stasik.
Another difficulty facing all music
programs was the looming conflict between rising academic demands and
the traditional place of the arts in the
public schools. The debate even
reached Kenosha when the School District raised the requirements for graduation from fifteen to seventeen. This
had the effect of making students
choose in some cases, between a second year of math or their last year or
orchestra. Many feared a gradual withering away of the music program,
which has given thousands of Kenosha
students an education that came not
from a textbook, but from performance.

as one. It was very beautiful - and exhilarating!" said Tricia Bailey, junior, of
A Capella.
All of Bradford's choirs joined as one
to sing together in the annual Christmas concert. To add to the excitement
of the season, our cross-town rival,
Tremper, sang with our choirs.! We exchanged the favor and sang at their
Christmas concert also.
Two other major concerts that all
four choirs sang together in included

Said junior Kathy Feely of A Capella
choir, "Choir teaches you responsibility and, yes, as weird as it sounds, it
teaches you to respect teachers. See,
Mr. Deal is our teacher and director.
We respect him for his talent and
choir-teaching ability. By seeing these
two qualities in him, we can observe
other qualities in other teachers more
readily."
"We're one big family!" said Denise
Dworak, junior, of A Capella Choir.

Here, several students sit. Upright,
erect posture, heads held high, mouths
open. The leader holds up a hand. The
voices cease. Criticisms were made.
The voices begin again. No, this was not
the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. But
there was a slight resemblance. Whether it be A Capella, Treble, Concert, or
the Bradford Singers, all have one thing
in common - they sing.
"It's not just singing songs," says senior Cindy Vines of A Capella Choir. "It
helps a person see more into themselves."
A Capella, the busiest choir of the
year, was involved in many acitivites.
Fundraising played a large part allowing
A Capella to be so active. These choir
members sold jewelry, calendars, and
M&M's. From these profits, the choir
group went to Milwaukee on April 9th
to sing with the Milwaukee Symphony.
"Going to Milwaukee and singing
with the Symphony was a very valuable
experience that I will not forget," says
senior Chris Wolf of A Capella Choir.
"It was so special - everything turned
out great."
"It wasn't a competition. The Symphony and our choir worked together

the Choral Festival on February 15th
and the Spring Concert in May. These
were large events for the choirs, and
they were very successful as well as organized.
"The Choral Festival is an event
where all of the Kenosha choirs, both
junior and senior high schools, came
together at Tremper and performed.
We sang songs as a mass choir and each
school sang by themselves," explained
sophomore Laurie Hayward of Treble
Choir. •
Treble Choir members traditionally
sold fruit as a main fundraiser. As for
Concert Choir, they sold M&M's, fruit,
and candy bars.
"What I enjoy most about singing in a
choir is meeting many people - and
the fact that choir requires self-discipline. I know that self-discipline alone
makes for a good quality and will help
wherever you go in life," explained
sophomore Mike Dawson of Concert
Choir.
By talking to several people belonging in a choir, one can see that choir
can actually help one in many ways by being a "teacher" of life and stimulating the mind.

"Some people take choir for an "easy"
credit, but they won't ever understand
what choir really means or what it does
for a person. If you're truly part of the
choir, it's like everyone's related; like I
said, one big family!"
"Oh, at times the practices can run a
little boring or hectic, but that's all part
of the experience in choir," said sophomore Danny Weisner of Concert
Choir. "You don't have to sound like
Frank Sinatra to join a choir. Even if you
do sound like a frog, it doesn't always
matter. Just being all together with a
common interest and singing is what
makes choir interesting - not just
sounding good."
Said Colette Gregory, senior, of A
Capella Choir, "The name 'choir'
doesn't actually justify itself. The
course is more than singing; you learn
more about countries and cultures in
choir than any other class. Choir combines everything in music - languages,
mathematics, history, etc."
Choir could be summed up as a very
"sound" course that was fulfilling and
an excellent part of anyone's education.

"The Symphony and our choir
worked together as one. It was
very beautiful - and exhilarating!" said junior Tricia Bailey of
A Capella.

who leads group animation. That was
the American Heritage Dictionary's
definition of a cheerleader.
Cheerleader - far-reaching, friendly, and fun. That was high school's definition of a cheerleader.
Feelings toward these spontaneous
individuals varied tremendously. Students had their own opinions regarding
cheerleaders, ranging from negative to
positive.
"Their smiles are too fake and their
exaggerated 'pep' carries over into
everyday activities. Also, their hair

Second, these girls cheered the guys
on to sure victory. And even if the guys
did lose, the encouragement and gaiety
still kept coming.
"It was almost unbelievable to witness so much energy and strength emanating from just a few girls!" replied
Mr. Cibrario.
Vitamins were taken, sleep was
caught up on, and voices were cleared
to ensure a good night's cheering.
"Each time we had to cheer, this feeling would begin to grow. It was a mix
between nervousness and excitement.

seems to bounce everywhere!" said
senior Lyna Paukstelis.
Senior Larry Otter's attitude reflected indifference. He said, "I've kind of
taken them for granted over the past
two years. If I really think about it, there
would be something missing at games if
there were no cheerleaders."
With her opinion, senior Sally Mosler
gave justice where justice was due,
commenting, "I think people stereotype cheerleaders. They only see the
part cheerleaders play on the sidelines
without bothering to find out their true
selves."
No matter what people really
thought about the spirit-raisers of any
school, the truth could not be denied.
That is, without the girls, high school
would have been dull.
First, cheerleaders faithfully attended
all sport's events. Whether rain, shine,
sleet, or snow, one could always spot

Devil cheerleader.

thought nothing of performing in front
of big audiences," said varsity cheerleader Sandy Glaman, a senior.
Third, contrary to popular opinion,
cheerleading was no piece of cake. It
took a lot of time and hard work to
read, memorize, recite, and synchronize some one hundred cheers. Most
of the girls gave each other moral support before, during, and after a game.
Even try-outs took a toll on some of the
cheerleaders. Sophomore cheerleader
Karen Hotchkiss said, "Adjusting to
high school cheerleading after junior
high school was made easier with the
support and encouragement of my
friends. A little bit is all it takes!"
Last, but not least, each time the girls
donned their skirts and personalized
sweaters there was something in the
air. Intermissions at sporting events and
pep assemblies alike gave audiences a
chance to join in good old-fashioned
fun. No one will ever forget the pyramids, drops, and stances which were

perfected throughout the years.
School was not the only place cheerleaders displayed their talent and
charm. Almost annually, the cheerleaders travelled to DePere, Wisconsin
to participate in the activities of the AllStar Cheerleading Conference (ASCC).
"No matter where we went, people
were always expecting something new
and different. We were well-known as
a school and team because of our past
accomplishments at state leadership
camps," said senior cheerleader Gina
Adamson, captain of the basketball
squad.
"Without the training and guidance
of Helen Jones," commented junior
Maureen Mattioli, a varsity cheer1ead er, "Bradford's cheerleading
squads would not have touched the
stars. They wouldn't have even gotten
off the ground, which is what we did."
Cheerleader - definitely far-reaching, friend:y, and fun!

baked goods. In addition, they decorated lockers, and with the help of the
cheerleaders, they fulfilled the football
and basketball players' daily requirements by providing breakfasts on several occasions.
The profits raised from these efforts
were put to good use by the squad.
They paid for porn pon expenses and
new uniforms. These funds were also
used to finance trips to competitions

Many of the girls attended the "Bad-

Squads Mark Season With Skill
Practice makes perfect and the porn
pon squad exemplified this. The porn
pon girls had many exhilarating experiences and performances during the
season. Mainly cheering for the football and basketball teams, the girls
showed true spirit and pride by lending
support.
Guiding their squad with direction
and dedication, Lorie Udvare and Terri
Theriault, both seniors, were elected as
co-captains for the entire year.
The routines performed by the
squad were constantly unique and polished. The routines also showed the
versatility of the group by requiring
new and different programs for every
two games. Entertaining the crowd, the
girls provided eyecatching moves
which included ripples, waves, and
kicklines. Effectively mixing dance,
props, and music, the squad raised the
pulse of the crowd with dazzling porn
pon maneuvers.
Not only pleasing the crowd, they
also satisfied their fellow students with
an active schedule of fundraisers. This
included selling pizzas, candy, and

gerette Porn Pon Summer Camp" in
August at Carroll College in Waukesha,
Wisconsin. Spending three days there,
the girls learned seven new routines
and performed in various competitions.
Christie Murphy and Terri Theriault
represented the squad as captains.
They took part in many educational
meetings on how to bring new life to
the performances and to keep the
squad united.
"We learned many beneficial pointers on how to captain the squad," commented junior Christie Murphy. "We
were taught that smiles, pointed toes
and clean shoes really made the team
look complete."
The joys of belonging to the squad
were rich and rewarding for the girls.
They gained confidence when confronting a great number of people.
They also learned the importance of
maintaining their spirit even when the
elements were against them. One performance, in which the girls showed
the true mettle of their character, included several rolls on a mud-covered

heights, whether at home or on the
road. The cheerleaders tried out for
the squad at the beginning of the season.
"You have to like the sport in order
to cheer for the guys. You have to appreciate the one-to-one competition,"
said senior Kris Hilliard.
The girls also competed themselves.
They donned their wrestling gear,
sweatpants, and took to the mats for a
mock meet, complete with exciting
matches between the girls. This proved
so comical the girls seemed to feel this
type of "routine" would be repeated in
the future.
Also, the girls kept busy by holding
fundraisers such as candy sales. The student body was provided with much
needed candy canes and chocolate bars
by the wrestling cheerleaders. The
funds were used to buy new uniforms
and to support trips to future cheerleading camps and clinics.
All in all, two exceedingly special
groups of girls helped encourage their
teams on to victory through thick and
thin, delight and dilemma.

Spanish classes, these phrases would
mean "Do you speak Spanish? Do you
speak French?" It would also means
that the person would know the language and therefore be able to join the
club pertaining to the language whether it is Spanish Club or French
Club. Both of these clubs performed
activities that helped to enrich the language knowledge that a member has

Spanish Club had meetings whenever the occasion called for it. They
were usually held from 7:15 a.m. to 7:30
a.m .
"The reason why attendance was not
good at meetings was probably due to
the inconvenient times that they were
held," said Mike Armes, a one year
member of the club.
Officers of the club were seniors
Beth Lichter, president, Lori Udvare,
vice-president, Cheryl Thomas, treasurer, and Kirsten Jones, secretary.

generosity and helpfulness. Most of

Generosity Theme Of Year
This expedition helped the members
learn to converse with those who speak
Spanish more fluently. The trip also enabled them to observe the Mexican
culture and compare it to their own
lifestyle.
Spanish Club also went on a field trip
to La Margarita Restaurant in the
spring, where they enjoyed some popular Mexican dishes such as tacos, enchiladas, and burritos.
However, not all of the activities
Spanish Club did were for personal enjoyment some were charitable.
Members donated part of their funds
to Student Council for their annual
Christmas basket for the needy.
A problem Spanish Club faced this
past year, according to several of the
members, was the lack of participation
and involvement.
"I think the real problem was the fact
that student interest was low - very
low. They just weren't that interested
in what was going on," said Suzie Werwie, a two year member of Span ish

preserve one of America's most historic monuments, the Statue of Liberty erected in 1886 by the French and aided by the French Club of Bradford in
1986.
In the Winter Carnival at Milwaukee's Children's Hospital, French Club
set up a special "jail-bird" booth to
raise funds for the hospital and to entertain the younger patients.
The main event of the year was
French Club's visit to France. Just as
some of the members of Spanish Club
went to Mexico over Easter, some of
the members of French Club went to
France at the same time. They also traveled to various other European countries such as Switzerland and Italy. The
experience proved unforgettable to
those who went.
The members also tried a little
French gourmet food at the Le Petit
Restaurant in Milwaukee. This, too, added to the experiences of French
Club's members.
"Although there weren't quite

enough active members, the club was
basically enjoyable and it gave a person
a warm feeling of generosity through
the activities that helped others," said
Donna Benson, a one year member.
Officers of the club were Donna
Benning, president, Dave Glembocki,
vice-president, Suzie Werwie, treasurer, and Debbie D' Amore, secretary.
Advisors of the clubs were Mr.
Sacco, French Club and Mrs. Mondragon, Spanish Club.
Both Spanish Club and French Club,
through the activities that they performed this past year, allowed students
to experience a little culture of the language they have studied. These activities added to their expanding education as well as improved their skills in
communications with another culture.
In the words of senior Gina Randandt,
"Studying a foreign language helps improve the diversity with which I view
most aspects of my life. I value the time
I've put into my study of French."

"For better, for worse .. .
till death do you part ... "
Much like a marriage, and
life in general, school has its
good and bad points.
On November 11, 1985, a
committee of students met
with principal Lawrence
Jones and discussed the advantages and problems at
Bradford.
As could be expected, the
problems outnumbered the
advantages. Racism was
pegged as a definite problem, along with its attendant
problems, racial confrontations and gang activity. Other problems included the
lack of locker space, the new
grading scale, and increased
sophomore graduation requirements.
Some of the problems,
however, appeared paradoxical. School spirit was listed
as an advantage, but also as a
problem. The diverse selection of clubs and organizations was an advantage, but
the lack of cooperation and
coordination between clubs
served as a negative factor.
Student/teacher relations
were a problem, despite the
fact that many (80%) of the
teachers and administrators
actually seemed concerned
about t he welfare and education of the students.
On the other side of the
coin, the 1985-86 school

year proved to be a productive and successful one for
B.radford students as well.
In November, the first
Academic Decathlon team
qualified as one of the 54
Milwaukee district finalists
and advanced to the Regional competition in Green Bay.
In January, the nine-member
team finished 14th
statewide.
Bradford's Math Team had
a similarly successful year. In
a meet held at the Milwaukee School Of Engineering,
the team placed 19th out of
30 competing teams. In the
computer math division,
however, the team finished
third. A meet at UWWhitewater also produced a
top-ten placing.
The Creative Writing team
produced several award
winners. Seniors David
Wohlgemuth, Rochelle Kehoe, Steve Shwaiko, and
Catherine Dieter, along with
graduate Eric Dial were given various awards for their
works.
In the annual Gateway
Skills Olympics, the Industrial Arts and Business Education departments again
dominated the competition.

Shortchanged By Change
Sophomores, take note! A momentous decision has been made which will alter your high
school education program. The Kenosha
School Board has passed a ruling, which now
requires the students of the class of 1988 to
take an additional two credits in order to graduate with the required seventeen.
Before the ruling was passed, a special Task
Force Committee was created in January of
1983 to look into this issue. After months of
research the Committee came up with eight
recommendations, the major concern being
the increase in the number of graduation requirements. The Committee felt additional
math and science would affect the average and
basic level student the most. Presently, 50% of
all students are taking more than one credit of
math and science. This statistic comes from a
three year comparison of the number of students taking math and science at Bradford and
Tremper.
The consequences of this change include an
increase in summer school attendance and an
increase in the number of teachers needed.
Esther Letven, member of the Task Force
Committee, commented during a School Board
meeting, "Simply raising graduation requirements does not guarantee excellence. We must
not diminish interest in self-education and further continuous learning."
According to Dr. John Hosmanek, Superintendent of the School Board, "The atmosphere

in the nation is one of wanting improvement in
education. The upgrading of graduation requirements must be accompanied by continual
improvement of curriculum, quality of teaching, and time on task tests, among other factors,
in order to raise educational standards. If expectations and standards are not set high
enough students will not be stretched in reaching them."
"These extra credits will produce well-educated, functional adults," pointed out School
Board member Mary Jane Landry.
Most teachers felt this change would not be
too overwhelming for students, but they did
agree it had one drawback, loss of electives.
"Fine arts and music are extremely important
and help in the development of hobbies and
recreational interests," said English teacher Helen Jones.
Because of the increase of required credit,
students had less freedom in choosing classes
that interested them.
Sophomore Tami Stasik commented, "I saw
no reason why the School Board needed to
raise the minimum number of credits to graduate. I cannot take many of the electives I
wanted to because required courses have taken
their place."
As Landry commented, "It takes planning
and less free time to be well educated."

Introduction To A Career
-Losing themselves in the plot of a soap ...
-Raiding the nearest refrigerator ...
-Crashing out for a few hours ..
-Planning moves for the upcoming party .. .
-Cruising around town in a Lamborghini .. .
These were all things students enjoyed doing
after leaving school for the day. Co-op students
didn't do the normal high school things,
though. They went to their job right after leaving school.
Stated senior Barb Speakman, "I'm lucky to
be involved with Co-op. This job will help me
decide if I like this area of business enough to
get into it as a career."
The conditions for experiencing Co-op were
that one was of senior standing and at least
sixteen years of age. Skills needed were one
year of keyboarding and office procedures.
Classes recommended were accounting, data
processing, shorthand, and sales and marketing.
The Co-op class met fourth hour to focus on
any area an employer felt they needed help in.
Other class activities included brushing up on
communications skills, lectures by guest speakers, and field trips. The members of the course
were selected on adherence to the preceding
criteria and on the basis of an interview with
the teacher/coordinator, Mrs. Terrill.
Grading students was the combined effort of
Terrill and the employer. The employers were
mailed an evaluation form to fill in. This sheet
concerned itself with the student's work performance, development of responsibility, and
attitude.

A student was given employment from different businesses in the community. Said Terrill, "I try to match a student's skills to the
employer's needs. I want both the employer
and the student to be happy with the situation ."
Most of the students left school at 11:30, but
if they needed to take five credits in order to
graduate, they could leave at 12:30.
Particpation in Co-op earned a student two
credits applicable towards graduation, one for
the class and one for their on-the-job training.
Students grew in many ways through participation in Co-op. Working afternoons and
weekends anywhere from fifteen to twentyeight hours per week, they gained an added
advantage in the competitive business world.
The employers had only positive remarks about
students they had hired from the Co-op program. Explained Mrs. Ruth Saknits from the
First National Bank, "I find her(Barb Speakman)
mature enough to handle a job of this sort. She
is treated as a young adult - not a high school
student."
"I think she's very responsible and reliable.
Dawn(Slater) is well - prepared for her job."
This from Tammy Shuente with the Community Impact Programs, Inc.
Mr. Tom Wosley, Stacey Behringer's employer, believes that she is "maturing in this work
environment and the exposure to the real work

Opinions On Classes Revealed
During one's life, one will often be asked,
"Which do you prefer? Will it be Coke to
Pepsi? McDonald's to Burger King? Or even
... math to science?"
In the latter part of October, selected students from all three grade levels were polled by
SPY . In order to obtain varied opinions, the
survey was given to students from basic, regular, and honors level classes.
The following questions were asked : Which
subject has the most laughs? Which is the most
difficult? Which is the least difficult? Which has
the most homework? Which has the most lectures? Which do you learn the most in? And
lastly, which will help you most in the future?
However, the questions of most interest to
students were probably, "Which subject is your
favorite?" and on the other side of the coin,
"Which subject is your least favorite?"
The academic subject which was greatly preferred by all grades was social studies. Classes
such as World Issues, U.S. History, psychology,
and sociology are considered social studies
courses.
English was chosen as the least favorite class
of seniors and sophomores.
Tenth grader Nancy Goforth supported the
statement by saying, "I find literature boring
because you have to read too much ." Not only
are literature and compsotion examples of English courses, but creative writing, journalism,
and semantics are also in that same category.
The juniors' opinion was divided. Some be-

176

Academics

lieved social studies to be the most popular,
while others thought it to be the least popular .
Junior Denise Brunello expressed her feelings on the topi c, " I sometimes find history
interesting, but I don't like the fact that it's
required ."
Aside from the academic subjects, students
chose various electives. Computers and speech
ranked high among senior favorites. Business,
Spanish , and Choir were favored by juniors.
Home Economics was, by far, the most popular
according to sophomores.
Paula Peterson, a senior, was asked her
choice of a favorite class. " I like accounting
because it is a possible career choice for me."
Junior Ronda Simonis' favorite elective was
Office Procedures. "I learned how to operate
various machines and how to work independently."
The least favorites for both juniors and seniors were typing and accounting. However, juniors believed that Spanish, French, and computers deserved to be on the list of undesirables also. The sophomore class was firmly
against many electives, but French happened to
be the prevailing one.
Sophomore Jason Schleip commented, "I
have a hard enough time learning English, and
now I have to learn another language!"

A Different Decathlon
The decathlon - a rigorous test of physical
and athletic prowess dating back to ancient
Greece. It was a composite athletic competition comprised of ten events: the long jump,
the high jump, the pole vault, the discus and
javelin throws, the shot put, the 100-, 400-, and
1500-meter runs, and the 110-meter high hurdles.
The nine members of Bradford's Academic
Decathlon team faced a similar challenge,
though intellectual in nature. They were tested
in the areas of conversation skills, essay writing,
formal speaking, economics, language and literature, fine arts, mathematics, science and social studies. The tenth and final test was a "Super-Quiz" based on a current topic.
The Decathlon itself was inaugurated in 1968
by the Orange County, California Academic
Decathlon Association in cooperation with the
office of the Orange County Superintendent of
Schools. The program was designed to provide
students with an opportunity to experience the
challenge of academic competition.
Membership on the team, Bradford's first,
was by invitation. The team advisor and
"coach," Virginia Brown, sent out letters inviting students to join. The response was enthusiastic, as could be judged from the number of its
members. "I felt interested. I was glad I was
asked," commented senior team member Scott
Ladewig.
The team roster, in addition to Ladewig, consisted of Steve Shwaiko, Linda Becker, Timothy
Morton, Robert Preston, and Margaret Godlewski, the senior members, and junior members Brian Genack, Chris Benter, and Latundra

Franklin.
12 November 1985. The race began with the
qualifying round of competition, held at
Greendale High School in Milwaukee. The top
54 finishers from this meet would then advance
to the regional level. At the end of the round,
Bradford, the only Kenosha school to qualify,
had secured the #54 spot. Tim Morton lent his
opinion of the contest. "Excellent competition," he commented, "but it was horrible to
be locked in a room with all those 4.0 average
people!"
"I was ecstatic," enthused Brown, "but my
ecstasy was tempered by the knowledge of
work ahead."
Indeed. There were a few more weeks of
practice, then January was upon them. A new
year, and a new level of competition.
7 January 1986. The nine team members, accompanied by Brown and Bradford principal
Lawrence Jones, traveled to Green Bay for the
Regional competition the following day. They
joined 53 other teams, including Racine Horlick and several Green Bay high schools, all
vying for the same goal, to finish in the top 9
and advance to the State finals.
In the end, Bradford placed 14th, ending
their drive for victory. Overall ratings ranked
Ladewig 1st, Morton 2nd, Becker 3rd, Shwaiko
4th, Preston 5th, Genack 6th, Benter 7th, Godlewski 8th, and Franklin 9th.
"It (the team's performance) said something
about Bradford as a whole," summed up
Brown. "There are a lot of good students here,
and they're getting a good education." + by

Disciplining Delinquents?
Monday morning. Eight-thirty. Five students
restlessly shift in their seats. "Where am I?" one
wonders. "What am I doing here?" another
asks himself.
As their thought processes continue, a voice
is heard from down the hall. It is Mr. Kranen.
The name strikes fear into their hearts. A name
is called and another lost soul shuffles forward
to meet his or her fate.
Although the previous comments seemed
exagerated, the reality of this situation was very
serious. Students who received detention,
l.S.S., or O.S.S. did not make light of it.
Out of the three disciplinary actions mentioned above, detention was the least serious.
According to Mr. Kranen, Assistant VicePrincipal, "The purpose of detention is to deter
the students from breaking school rules and
from skipping classes or school."
Students were issued detention for a variety
of reasons which included cutting classes, repeated tardiness, and repeated classroom misbevahior. Students received one hour detention, except for tardiness. These were a half
hour long. During detention students slept,
read, or did homework.
Opinions toward detention were not exactly
negative.
Junior Debbie Schwaiger said, "Detention
teaches students that they have to pay the price
for their actions."
"Serving detention wasn't that bad," commented junior Chris Goetz. "It gave me time to

do needed homework and reading."
The next action which was taken for student
misbehavior was in-school suspension. Over
the sc hool year, students were assigned to l.S.S.
for offenses such as serious or repeated violation of school rules, all day truancy, or detention misbehavior. A day in l.S.S. meant total
isolation. During the day, students could not
eat, sleep, turn around, or try to make contact
with any other student. This punishment appeared to have mixed results.
"In some cases, l.S.S. really helps. A student
will come and finish his/her work and find out
there is nothing to do and never return. Then
we have the repeat offenders. I'm really not
sure why they continue to come back. Sometimes they look at ease being in here," said
Sylvia Villalobos, part-time l.S.S. supervisor.
The most severe action of the three mentioned was out-of-school suspension . Students
were assigned O.S.S. for repeated in-school
suspensions or for misconduct which threatened the health and safety of students and staff
members. During O.S.S. students were not allowed in or on school property. The purpose
was to put the responsibility on the parents
since school discipline hadn't worked.
A variety of offenses led students to these
forms of discipline. Actions taken to correct
students were probably appropriate, but one
question still lingered, "Is this really punishment?" • by Noel Moeller

Is It The American Invasion?
The month long journey began on June 12
and ended on July 13, 1985. Eight Bradford students, along with others from Tremper, St. Joseph's, and Shoreland Lutheran High School,
flew to the country of West Germany. They
were chaperoned by Bradford's current German teacher, Michelle Nielsen, and Tremper
teacher James "Uncle Jim" Marescalco and his
wife "Mom" Marescalco.
The adventurous group arrived in Frankfurt,
Germany the next morning and hopped on a
bus to WolfenbUttel, Kenosha's sister city.
There, each individual stayed with a German
family.
Nielsen said, "Our students were already acquainted with at least one member of their new
family, because the German students who
came to America last year stayed with our families for a month ."
Weren't there any difficulties concerning the
language barrier? "All young people in Germany are required to take English classes, so I
did not hear of any problems with communication . Our students were also required to have
at least two years of German to take part in this
trip," Nielsen concluded.
While in WolfenbUttel, the students could
not pass up the chance to better their education. They attended three different high
schools, including Gymnasium in Schloss (The
Castle School). They also had the opportunity
to partake in their school's graduation dance, in
which they sported formal dresses and suits.
Senior Scott Ladewig said, "I feel that they
(Germans) prepare students for college and ca-

reers much better than our schools do. Although they work harder, they still maintain a
close teacher-student relationship, much as
here in America."
When not in WolfenbUttel, the group visited
the cities of Nesselwang, Munich, and Rothenburg, which are all in the state of Bavaria. They
toured the Volkswagen factory in Wolfsburg
and the Harz Mountains; both are fairly near
WolfenbUttel. A bus tour was also provided for
them of both East and West Berlin, in the Communist country of East Germany.
Unfortunately, the weather didn't agree with
the tourists. During most of their stay it was
cold and rainy; however, the weather became a
bit more agreeable through their last week in
Germany.
On July 10, the students bid farewell to their
friends in WolfenbUttel. Again they returned to
Frankfurt and departed the following day for
the United States.
Among the students who participated in the
trip were Ladewig, Brad Janowitz, Peter Dawson, Todd Hlavka, and graduates Rhonda
Brock, Tammy Beesley, Doug Fremming, and
Dan Anderson.
Thanks to the GAPP (German American Partnership Program), the four-week stay in Germany cost each student only $1000. This included airfare, hotel expenses, food, travel between cities, and spending money.
Hlavka commented, "Our stay in Germany
was great! I think everyone had a fun time."

Classrooms In Chaos?
Picture a classroom, paralyzed in silent dread
just waiting for the inevitable torture of first
hour to begin. An unfamiliar, but much-welcomed face peeps into the doorway. Cries of,
" Hey dude, a sub! No work for today! Mr. Mad sen ... burnin'," ring out from the mouths of
grateful students.
Many classes regarded substitute teachers as
a positive learn ing experience and tried to take
the unexpected instructor's quirks in stride.
Commented sophomore Kris Alwardt, "Subs
are usually pretty fun . They're a good break
from the regular teacher and normal routines. "
" It all depends on which sub you get. Some
are nice, but others are just like dictators!" said
senior Martha Valesko.
Typically, subs were often praised for letting
classes relax for the day. Remarked junior Sue
Mielke, " It's nice to have one because they
almost always give us a study hall or time to
talk."
Commented sophomore Roberta Behringer,
"They usually just sit up at the desk and try to
keep the noise level down to a dull roar."
The substitutes sophomore Katie Ashley had
encountered did not seem to leave such a favorable impression. "Some did occasionally
break out of their stupor to bark at the class or
assign more problems. A lot of the subs fill in
for subjects they know nothing about. Most of
the time they are totally unneccessary; classes
can baby-sit themselves."
The temporary teachers also had plenty of
opinions to voice regarding their jobs. Said vet-

184 Academics

eran sub Mrs. Cottingham, "I'll give the work to
the kids and if there's a test or quiz, they'll get
that too. I just follow the instructions left by the
absent teacher."
Several students claimed to have survived extremely cruel and unusual punishments at the
hands of stand-in-teachers. Senior Diane
Thompson remembered a sub in her math
class. "He would go around the room banging a
ruler on the desks for an attention-getter. I
guess he wasn't paying attention when he hit
my desk for emphasis, accidentally whaking my
pen with it. Next thing I knew, there was ink all
over and he was screaming at me. It was definitely not one of my better days!"
Generally, the favored replacement-teachers
were those who could treat the students with
respect while still being able to have a good
time. Commented senior Carol Morrill, " I like
Mrs. Kauffman because she's enthusiastic when
helping us with our work. She seems to enjoy
subbing and always gets involved with what
we're doing."
"Miss Aiello is cool because she never yells at
us without having a good reason ," explained
sophomore Val Kensler.
Overall, students and subs strove to work
together in cooperation. Most students real ized that subs were not testing ground for the
latest in torture techniques; and in turn , many
of the substitutes sincerely tried to assist in
their classes' learning process - if only for one
day.+ by Jess Tomsheck

Discriminating Differences
"You stupid polack!"
"Oh yeah? Well, at least I'm not a dumb dago
like you!"
Does this conversation ring a bell? How
about names like spade, spick, honkie, Nazi,
gook, kike, wop, wetback, Jap, Chink, or white
bread? Where does it all end?
Almost everyone has been called one of
these abusive names at one time or another. Of
course, this name-calling can be used in fun;
however, that is not always the case.
Racism has existed since the beginnings of
history. The earliest practices of this were in
the form of slavery - traveling back in time to
the Roman dominance over the Christmas or
relating back to the hardships of the Civil War
when blacks were held in slavery by whites.
Severe racial problems caused by slavery, discrimination, and segregation continued to
plague the world. South Africa followed a governmental racial policy called apartheid. This is
when whites and nonwhites are separated in
their jobs and residences.
Racial confrontations still persisted in present day life, as many students realized. Junior
Linda McNutt believed there was an existence
of racial friction in school. Well, what can be
done to solve this?
"In order for racial differences to end, we all
have to make an effort. Students should participate in clubs such as Rainbow Connection and
Minority Leadership. White students have this
impression that Rainbow Connection is only

for black people and Hispanics, but that's not
true. Anyone can join. It's an opportunity for all
races to do something together, instead of always staying with their crowd," said McNutt.
Racists often believe that their race is superior to any other. Senior Martha Velasco thought
that was one reason some people continued to
hold their racist beliefs.
She added, "Narrow-minded people think
those of races other than their own are inferior
just because they tend to do things differently.
Another reason young people grow up to be
prejudiced is due to their parents' beliefs. Stereotyping is a type of prejudice. Say that an
American does something to harm a Mexican,
or vice versa, that individual will hold that entire race responsible for one careless person's
mistake. I don't think it's fair. Everyone should
be judged by their own character."
Presently, more jobs and scholarships were
being created for minorities. They were now
getting the opportunities which should be
shared by everyone. However, junior Jess Tomsheck said she felt cheated because of the many
opportunities now offered to minorities.
"I do believe that everyone should be treated equally, but I feel as if the minority scholarships are lessening my chances of receiving a
scholarship," admitted Tomsheck.
Slowly but surely, things are being done to
make those of all races equal to one another.
This is a task which requires the help of everyone . • by Tammy Sorensen

Future Visions
The time had finally arrived. No one thought
the strenuous thirteen year struggle would
ever come to an end. It was now the moment
to answer that often-thought-about question
- What am I going to do after high school?
All graduates were once faced with this tremendous decision. There were numerous possibilities floating around in the minds of graduating seniors. According to a survey given to
the senior class last year, 80.9 percent planned
on further education. Many students (45.3 percent) wanted to attend a four-year college.
Senior Terri Theriault planned on travelling
quite a few miles for her education. "I have
been accepted at the University of Hawaii and
am interested in business," said Theriault.
Over half of the seniors (50.8 percent) wanted to stay a little closer to home, made plans to
enroll in classes at Parkside.
"Next year I'm going to begin classes at Parkside and then possibly move on to U.W. La
Crosse," said senior Jean Wermske. "I would
like to be an elementary school teacher. The
best part of this age group is that they're usually
so eager to learn."
27.5 percent of the students preferred technical schools over a univeristy.
"I plan on studying business management at a
technical school because I can receive my education much quicker than if I would go to a
university for four years," explained senior
Martha Lara.
Also interested in attending a technical
school was senior LaQuita Smith. "The fashion-

conscious side of me wants very much to become a model. However, I realize how difficult
it can be to be successful in that area, so I am
also going to take secretarial classes."
Aside from continuing their education, students had a variety of other options. Many seniors (7.5 percent) hoped to find full time jobs in
the labor market soon after they graduated.
Joining the military was the choice of 8.2 percent. A small portion of the graduating class
(2.8 percent) planned on hearing wedding bells
in the near future. A sparse 2.11 percent were
interested in apprenticeship training.
A surprising number (11.5 percent) seniors
indicated no future plans. As the father/
teacher inquired in one of Twisted Sister's
past video's, "WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO
WITH YOUR LIFE?!"
By the time a student has graduated, he/she
has been bombarded with that question for
what seems a thousand times. "Well, mom
wants me to be a lawyer, dad wants me to be a
doctor, and the list goes on and on." That was
one reason seniors thought making a career
choice was such a major dilemma.
School counselors have been quite a help to
students in making future plans. Mr. Verwey
has met with the junior class, speaking mostly
of universities and technical schools. Mr. Gilbert has held small career decision sessions for
juniors also. With this help, the number of undecided seniors should decrease. + by Tammy

It kind of makes you wonder why they changed in the
first place.
For years, Bradford was
synonymous with the South
Shore Conference. Then, all
of a sudden, in the fall of
1982, the Red Devils found
themselves in the Braveland
Conference.
A couple years later, it was
the Milwaukee Area Conference. After a two year stay
there, the Devils switched to
the Big Nine Conference,
which was a reincarnation of
the old South Shore.
Home at last - with the
participating schools coming
from Kenosha, Racine and
Milwaukee, the jocks prepared themselves for the rumored tough competition.
Tough competition was an
understatement. The Conference only had previous
state championships in track,
basketball, and football to
name a few, and the Red
Devils had only come close
to a championship berth a
few times in the past few
years.
So, how were the Red
Devils going to survive
amidst a field of hungry state
champions?
At first, it looked like a losing battle. Football, "the
sport to lead all sports," took
the heaviest of heavy losses
- a winless season.

Then followed the boys
basketball team, which although fighting to the bitter
end, finished the season with
a sour taste on their tongues
- only a one game win.
Next up were the soccer
team and wrestling team.
They met their "tough competition" and surpassed
them and showed them who
was second to one.
These teams, who were
said to be the underdogs of
the conference, came from
the bottom and ended up
taking second place overall.
Then came the boys swim
team. They made sure that
everyone knew they were
second to none.
Positive attitudes on the
part of the Red Devils
earned them their first Big
Nine Championship.
In the first encounter of
the boys track team against
Case, the Red Devils
zoomed past the competition and took first at the triangular.
It was the first time that
the Red Devils boys track
team had ever beaten Case.
The change from the Braveland to the Milwaukee
Area, and finally to the Big
Nine Conference proved
that the Red Devils are Getting Better All the Time!

condition, thanks to rigorous practices designed by new
head coach Harry Stoebe.
In spite of the intense conditioning, though, the Red Devils still lost their season opener to Milwaukee Bay View by a
score of 14-7. It was not so terrible a loss, so how could it
have so drastically affected an entire season?
Senior Jim Lawrence offered a possible explanation . "After
the first loss I guess we just didn't have it psychologically and
we gave up mentally," he said.
But senior Joe Barrette had a different view. "I don't think
anyone gave up," he said . "We certainly didn't try to lose.
We were ready for every game, but we just couldn't pull out
a win. Maybe we just tried too hard."
If there was one game that best summed up this season, it
was the Tremper game.
The odds were stacked against the Red Devils, as was the
case the entire season : Tremper was undefeated, Bradford
was winless.
The rain-drenched bleachers of Anderson Stadium were
packed full of people, partly frozen by a cold north wind.
The turnout was typical of Bradford home games this season.
Support was greater this year than in past seasons in spite of
the poor record.
The outcome was no surprise for anyone, but the home
team was able to put a bit of a scare into the mighty Trojans
and a little excitement into the confetti-covered fans and
mud-caked cheerleaders.
This year's team was notorious for scoring first on opponents (that is, when they scored), and Tremper was no exception. But Bradford's 6-0 lead held for only a short time. It
was then that the Red Devil offense began deteriorating into
a space-consuming mass, losing the ball before apy kind of
sustained drive could be formed.
Twenty-yard punts, interceptions, and fumbles made
scoring simple for Tremper . The cross-town rivals never had
far to go against an exhausted Bradford defense to put six
more points on the board.
The end result was not so much that the Red Devils were
beaten, but rather that they beat themselves. That kind of
summed up the season: the Bradford Red Devils varsity football team was its own conqueror.
The season was not a total loss (so to speak), though, as
several members received individual honors.
Four members of the squad, including Dan Esposito, Tom
Rohlman, Jim Lawrence, and Joe Barrette, were awarded
Honorable All-Conference. Esposito was also named to the
All-Kenosha team.
Co-captains Barrette and Esposito handed their titles
down to Eric Wnuck and Scott Davis.

Pooling Efforts

Produces Wins
Same old coaches, same old practices, same old people.
Boring, right? Not necessarily. The girls swim team had the
same old coaches, the same old practices, but only a few of
the same old people were competing.
The change from the Milwaukee Area Conference to the
Big Nine put a strain on the usual success story of the team ,
but losing top varsity swimmers to graduation didn't help
matters.
" This year was a totally rebuilding year. We went into
every meet just hoping to do our best. We just wanted to see
how well we could do," said senior Anne Capelli .
Doing their best was a common goal among all swimmers,
for each either wanted to better their time, place against
Racine school, or do what almost every Bradford jock loves
to do - beat Tremper.
Although the team met Tremper on more than one occasion, only once did they come out on top.
That one time was the season opener Kenosha Relays,
hosted by Tremper. The Red Devils remembered the final
score only - 60-56 - for no individual records were kept.
But who cares? They beat Tremper.
However, Tremper proved to be tough after that joyous
season opener. Four disastrous meets later, the Red Devils
fell to Tremper at the Big Nine Relays.
But the Red Devils did produce slight victories at this
meet. By taking second, the 300 meter relay helped the team
to their sixth place finish . Juniors Suzi Werwie, Kris Jackson,
Julie Cardinali and sophomore Jenny Johnson made up the
relay.
Also taking third was the 400 meter freestyle relay. Kancian, Cardinali, Burmeister and sophomore Kerri Anderson
were part of this relay.
Then Kancian added another third in the diving competition . Senior Kay Kancian and freshman Cher Schoettler were
other relay divers.
The Racine schools made up the main frame of the Big
Nine, but there were still Milwaukee schools who had also
made the change.
"We expected the Racine schools to be tough, and we
were happy whenever we beat them, but when we went
against teams like Bay View, we took them just as seriously,"
said senior Kirsten Jones.
Through cheers louder than those of some cheerleading
squads, the girls seemed to whirl past their Bay View competitor as if they had fins and gills. Bradford won the meet
69-11.
Although the scoreboard didn't show it, the swimmers
ended up on top - in their own minds. To show certain
swimmers the congratulations and recognition that they deserved, the team gave out awards at the Fall Sports Banquet.
Jones and Jackson presided over the team as co-captains.
Jones handed down senior captain to Jackson while Jackson
handed down the junior captain to Anderson . Burmeister
was awarded Most Valuable Freshman and Cardinali was
given Most Valuable Varsity. Most Improved Varsity swimmer went to Jackson while Most Improved J.V. swimmers
were freshman Genevieve Cordiner and junior Liz Kugel.

Better Than
You Might Think
Superstars? Nope, not on this team . Sorry . Nobody here
averaged five goab or twenty-five saves per game. Not even
close .
" Two, three, four years ago we had players like that," said
senior Brian Loeffler ." But this year we had a TEAM."
Added junior Tim Metallo, "If you looked at us individually, you ' d probably laugh. But something happened when we
go together, I still can't believe we did as god as we did ."
It was supposed to be a rebuilding year for the soccer
team. Coming off a disappointing season that included the
loss of their four best players, no one expected much from
them .
" Even our coaches were saying that if we'd play .500 (4-4),
they ' d consider it a good season," said Loeffler.
Apparently, as their 6-2 second place finish would suggest,
the members of the team were not going to lie down and
die.
The season started with the annual Parkside Tournament,
in which Bradford finished third out of six teams. Horlick
won the tournament with a 3-0-2 record; Tremper was second at 2-0-3 . "I think we surprised a lot of people by going
2-1-2 at that tournament," explained sophomore John
Naumowitz. "I think we even surprised ourselves."
Just a fluke, right? Maybe.
The team 's first conference game was against a vastly improved Bay View team. Bradford won handily, 4-0.
2-0 Bradford then played host to 2-0 Hamilton.
"I'll never forget that game," said sophomore Vladko
Minic. " Hamilton was picked to win the Big Nine this year.
We were supposed to finish about seventh ."
Bradford won the match, 4-1, on the power of two goals
from both Minic and junior Fransisco Navarro. The defense
played the best game of the season , holding Hamilton to a
mere ten shots on goal. Hamilton's only goal came when a
shot deflected off of a Bradford player into the goal.
The Devils ran their record to 4-0 with a 4-2 overtime
victory against Milwaukee Pulaski before suffering their first
defeat in conference play, 2-1, to the Big Nine's eventual
state representative, Racine Horlick .
" It was a frustrating loss because four of our shots deflected off the crossbar (goal)," said Loeffler. "But what's
even worse is that they scored the winning goal with 23
seconds left."
In the first round of the regionals, Bradford drew the
toughest team, 7-1 South . The Milwaukee team scored early
and held a 2-1 lead for most of the game.
It appeared as though that was going to be the final score,
but with less than thirty seconds to play, junior Mauro Apostoli scored his first goal of the season, tying it at 2-2 .
Neither team was able to score in the sudden death overtime and the teams therefore went into a shoot-out. South
outscored Bradford 3-2, ending a most remarkable season
for the Red Devils.
"I think that game represented the season - we neve
gave up. Too bad we had to come so far to lose it by so
little," said Minic.
This season also brought many awards to the team. Cocaptains and team MVP's Robert Riva and Brian Loeffler
were named to the All-Kenosha County team along with
Vladko Minic. Riva and Minic also received first-team AllConference honors; Chuck Sauer was named to the second
team; and Nick D' Amore and Jeff Beneke received Honorable Mention . • by Robert Riva

Win A Few
Lose A Few
Ready for a great season , the girls' volleyball team jumped
into the new year and the new Big Nine Conference with
much vigor only to have the ball spiked back into their court.
Struggle seemed to be the theme for the varsity team.
"We felt we had the talent and were ready for a great
season," said senior Tammie Foster.
"We heard the Big Nine Conference was tough . . . it
certainly lived up to its rumors," said junior Jenny Borthwick .
Ending with a record of 19-43 for all games and seventh
out of nine in the conference, the girls were slightly disappointed .
Despite their prior losses, the girls had their great moments. Two of their best matches were conference games
against Tremper and Case.
At their home court, Bradford went out and defeated
Tremper two of the three games. The defense was led by
Borthwick and senior Kari Radtke. Senior Beth Lichter led
the offense while senior Wendy Watral contributed 100 percent of her serves.
The girls won the first two games 15-6 and 15-10, but then
fell to the Trojans 7-15 in the third .
"We wanted to beat Tremper real bad . It would have been
nice to win all three in our home court," said Lichter .
The girls also did well in conference matches against Case.
Helping the team immensely with 100 percent on spikes and
leading the defense was senior Linda Richter. Other key
defensive players were seniors Suzanne Mantuano and
Lichter.
Together they proved a tough time for the racing Case
defense to bear. The final scores were 10-15, 4-15, 13-15.
"Case is a tough team; we knew that and knew we had to
give it our all and we did," said Lichter.
On the brighter side, the junior varsity team did much
better by ending their season with an over all record of 2922 and a record of 17-7 in the conference.
Their first match proved to be their best as the Devils
defeated St. Joes all three games.
Winning the first two games 15-11, and really spiking it to
'em in the last game, they ended the match with a 15-0 win.
Practices were every night right after school, starting at
3:00 and ending around 5:00.
Practices consisted of many different drills. Some were
setting, binking, passing, serving and line grabbers.
"We had little chants to go with the stretching exercises;
that made it a little more fun," said Borthwick.
During these practice games, the girls worked on their
intricate and somewhat confusing maneuvers used to win
games. These maneuvers were handily called the 4-2 and the
6-2.
The 4-2 was where there are 4 spikers and two setters with
even rotation, the setter being in the middle after the ball is
on play.
The 6-2 is where all the players can be spikers. The setter is
always going to come from the back and the t hree spikers
and hitters in the front. The 6-2 was considered the better of
the two and more often used in a game situation.
At the annual Fall Sports Banquet held in the cafeteria,
team awards were given out. Seniors Suzanne Mantuano and
Tammie Foster shared the team award for Most Improved
and Wendy Watral received Most Valuable.
For the J.V.'s, Mary Weiss was named Most Valuable while
Sharon Krause and Chris Schwartz shared Most Improved.

Runners
Face Obstacles
From th e " rive r" with th e c urrent going throu g h it to t he
muddy mountain at Minooka, th e girls and boys Cross Coun try team surmounted th ese and oth e r tr each e rou s obstacl es.
At the Parkside course, th e te am had to run through a
large puddle near the beginning of the course so big th at a
c urrent ran through it .
The team also met with strong wind s; fortunatel y, th e y
wer e with them.
Taking advantage of these c onditions, senior Dian e Thomson and sophomore Chris Lah ey ran their best tim es of th e
season .Thomson led the team to a third plac e finish , c oming
in 13th with a 13:35 time . Sophomore Christy Hale follow e d
at 15th with a 13:35. Lahey was right behind at 16th with
13:36.
Junior co-captains Chri s Erickson and Brad Kodl led the
boys to a fifth place fini sh , with a 9th and 11th plac e fini sh
re spe ctive ly .
Next, th e runners fa ced 90 degree weather at Greenfield.
It was so humid that the boys race , usually three miles long,
was shortened to two miles.
Even though the humidity and heat made running and
breathing conditions worse than usual , Bradford still produced winner s. Junior Su e Gent es, Kodl and Erickson all
placed in the top for Bradford .
Then , at Minooka Park, where th e Crusader Invitational
was held, the runners faced the Minooka mountain . This hill
was practically straight up , and conditions the day before
made the hills slippery. Although slipping halfway through
the race, Gentes still captured a second place, thus leading
the girls to a fifth place finish . Hale followed covered by mud
and Thomson slipped in at 3Sth. Erickson and Kodl led the
boys to their fourth place team finish , coming in 6th and 7th
respectively. Sophomore Andy Kieffer was next at 21st.
Parkside seemed to hold many different running situations
because the next encounter with interesting weather was at
the Kenosha County Championships.
Both J.V. and Varisty competitors alike ran through sun,
rain , clouds and also, a rainbow, all in the same race.
Though the different weather was typical, the last meet of
the year for the J.V.'s was run in " normal" situations. The
meet was the Horlick J.V. Invite held at Pritchard Park . The
girls came in third while the boys took fourth .
Placing for Bradford were junior Briana Wiesztort, freshman Kerry Krittenden, senior Amy Plutchak, and sophomore Kris Deline. Junior Bob Wegner, sophomore Rich
Ricciardi and senior Rob Preston placed in the top for the
boys.
For the varsity, sectionals was the last meet run . Although
no one advanced, the girls placed 7th out of 16 teams.
Leading Bradford was Hale at 28th, Lahey at 34th, and senior
Yolanda Finley at 38th.
The boys also placed 7th out of 16. Leading Bradford was
Kodl who placed 11th, just 16 seconds short of qualification.
Following him was Erickson at 19th and Keiffer at 35th.
Special awards were given at the annual Fall Sports Banquet. Erickson and Kodl were recognized as MVP's along
with Gentes. Finley, Cooks and Thomson received the
Coaches Award, and sophomores Tara Roy and Kieffer,
along with junior Jeff Slater received Most Improved.
Rookie of the Year was given to Hale and junior Eric
Lemke, and juniors Sauceda and Laura Wright, along with
Lahey, received team runner awards. • by Becky M atoska

Girls Serve Up
Winning Season
Thwack! The girls tennis team swung into the first victorious season in its history.
This year the girls experienced the Big Nine Conference
and came out with a record of nine wins and six losses.
Coach Charles Chatman began preparing for the season
last year with the girls indoors and held workshops during
the summer. He pushed the girls during practice and it paid
off as the season progressed.
"I feel this season was the best that we've had in a long
time. We all worked together and had a lot of support for
each other," said junior Shelly Bacher.
For the first time Bradford hosted its own quadrangular
meet meet. Sophomore Anne Klemm at number three singles and seniors Colette Gregory and Carrie Tabbert at number one doubles came out ahead.
The season pressed onward and the girls proved to be
stronger. Holding a record of 2-2, the girls hosted its second
quad meet.
Showing that the hard work had paid off, the girls took
first place. Racking up the points were junior Dionne Budwick and Klemm at the singles positions. The winning doubles teams consisted of juniors Tina Paskiewicz and Sue Leiting at number two, and at number three were senior Carol
Curi and junior Sandy Leipzig. This quad prepared them for
the one that was still ahead.
Going into the Kenosha County Quad, the girls then felt
the challenge that was upon them. Tremper and St. Joseph
battled for each point to come out tied while Bradford still
produced several triumphs. Curi at number three singles and
Gregory and Tabbert at number two doubles earned second
place medals and enough points to place the team third
overall.
As the season advanced, the girls struggled harder to prepare for the conference meets. Bacher and Paskiewicz led
the team as they faced the best competition and placed
fourth at the number one doubles position. This helped put
the team in fifth place at the conference championships.
"Helping other teammates was a great asset to the team.
Another was the winter indoor-tennis and the summer
workshops. The many hours spent conditioning our weak
points and strengthening our strong ones paid off at the end
of the season. The win-loss record backs it up," said Paskiewicz.
As the season ended the Fall Sports Banquet was just
around the corner.
At the banquet, Paskiewicz walked away with three
awards. They were Most Dedicated, Best Leadership, and
Perfect Attendance. Leiting received the Most Improved
and the Most Wins awards. Bacher was awarded the Most
Valuable Player. Gregory was voted Most Spirited for the
second year in a row. Klemm received Best Sportsmanship
and Tracy Tower was given the Miss Hustle award. Tabbert
and Paskiewicz handed down their positions as co-captains
to one individual: the 1986 season captain is Bacher.
Hardwork, dedication, and support all led the junior varsities to get their team awards. As with the varsities, these too
were voted upon. Sophomore Sue Bleashka was voted the
Most Improved and the Best Sportsmanship. The Most Valuable Player was Sandy Leipzig while Sheryl Hansen got Most
Dedicated. Junior Angie Stanke was voted Most Spirited
while Soo Kim was voted Miss Hustle. The doubles team of
sophomores Linda Belotti and Roberta Behringer were given
the award for the most J.V. wins. + by Carrie Tabberr

'Won' More
Than Football
Perfection! That's what the varsity football team achieved,
and for a long while it seemed like the boys basketball team
was going to scale the same heights: a perfect 0-20 season .
But no, perfection proved elusive for the Red Devils. They
had to ruin it for everyone - they won a game.
On their first encounter with Case, the team had the
disadvantage. The Red Devils had to make the strenuous trip
all the way to Racine, a whole 25 minutes, to play on Case's
court. As was predicted, Bradford lost - 53-77 .
However, on their second encounter with Case, the Devils
had the advantage. They were on their own court, and they
didn 't have to make the "strenuous" road trip. All they had
to do was to show up on time.
And that they did. With seniors Tony Bonofiglio leading
the De vils by scoring 16 points, they stayed tough the whole
game .
With a minute left and down by two , Case fouled senior
Steve Lalonde . Lalonde made both freethrows, thus tying
the game. Case stalled for 50 seconds. With 10 seconds to
play and the score still tied, Case's Delann McGloun went up
for the shot, but when the ball slipped away and McGloun
recaught it, the referee called him for double dribbling.
Then it was the Red Devil's turn. Junior Lee Lyles handed
the ball off to Bonofiglio. He went up for two and missed .
Junior Kevin Peltier pulled down the rebound, went up,
missed, grabbed his own rebound, went up again and made
it.
One second later, the buzzer sounded and the Devils
were swarmed by their fans. The team had won their first
and only game of the season . The final score was 54-52.
More often than once, the final seconds of the game
crushed the Red Devils. The fourth quarter, often the point
at which they realized they were supposed to be playing a
game, showed good play from the guys.
These were the times when the fans came alive and stayed
to the end. Perhaps these close games were a way of keeping
more fans until the end of the game. But then again, maybe
not.
Of these games, the season opener proved to be one of
the best.
In the first round of the Turkey shoot-out, the Red Devils
were matched against Cudahy.
At the end of the first quarter, the Devils led 20-10, with
junior Marty Harris sinking 13 of those points.
Unfortunately, the Red Devils started their poor ball handling in the next quarter. Cudahy outscored the Devils and
caught up to end the half at 33-30, still in favor of the Devils.
The Red Devils lost their lead in the third quarter, but
remained within two points.
The fourth quarter really was tough. At one point, the
Devils were up by three. But not for long as Cudahy came
back.
With three seconds left, the score 61-62, Lalonde dribbled to half-court and went up for the shot. It hit the rim and
tipped out. At the same time, the buzzer sounded.
"We could have won that game, but missed shots, rebounds, and turnovers hurt us. They did the whole season,"
said Bonofiglio.
But the dismal season did come to an end at the Winter
Sports Banquet. Lalonde received Most Valuable and was
named Honorable Mention All-Conference. Senior Armand
Bonofiglio was named captain 1986. + by Becky Matoska

Boys Can't

ATTEMPTING TO INCREASE their lead by another two points, the team
turns on the offense on the home court against South. The Devils consequently won 46-40.

Girls Can
So, the girls can't play exciting basketball? Wrong! Despite
lack of school support and spirit, the girls were much more
exciting than their male counterparts. They ended up with a
much better record for the season and two wins over crosstown rival Tremper. The "exciting" guys could not even
make it within ten points of the old Trojans.
"We had no one show any support for girls' sports. The
guys got things stuck on their lockers and carnations and
' huge banners on the walls in the Commons. We didn't get
diddly, and in a way it made us feel bad. Every one would
travel to away games and watch them lose, but no one would
stay to watch us win," said junior Kelly Schlevensky.
At the first Bradford-Tremper game, the girls dribbled
right on past their opponents. Veteran seniors Yolanda Finley and Anne Williams together racked up more than half
the points scored. Finley scored a game high of 17 points and
Williams followed suit with 12. Other high scorers were
juniors Sue Leiting with nine, Chris Shefchik with six, and
Briana Wiesztort managed five before being fouled out. In
total, the girls were marked with 22 fouls.
"The number of fouls we had was really embarrassing, but
the number of points scored so well outweighed it, it didn't
matter. Despite our faults, the game still must be considered
our best of the year for two reasons: One, we played really
well as a team, and two, because it was Tremper who we
beat," commented Finley.
Accompanying the awesome offense with strong defense,
the girls were never down once during the entire game. The
score was Bradford 54-Tremper 41, thus clinching Bradford's
third Big Nine Conference win.
The second Bradford-Tremper game was not so easily
taken. After having to wait two and a half weeks because of a
schedule change, the girls once again anxiously went up
against the Trojans on the home court.
"The weeks we had to wait went slow enough, but the half
hour before the game felt like an eternity," said Wiesztort.
The girls didn't start out too well . After being down the
entire first half, the girls came back to tie in the beginning of
the third quarter. The score then wavered back and forth
and was tied five times. In the last 32 seconds of the game
and aided by a free throw shot by Leiting, Bradford came
within one point of tying their Tremper opponents. After
Tremper missed two free throw shots and the time had
dwindled to eight seconds left, Finley passed the ball to
Williams who scored on a layup. The final score, Bradford
37-Tremper 36.
"In the beginning when we were losing so bad, I still felt
we had a chance to come back. Then as we came within two
points, I knew we could win if we just kept our act together.
During the last half when the score was wavering back and
forth I felt we could win if we just stuck close ... and we
did," said junior Shelly Bacher.
The season ended with an overall record of 6-13 and a
conference record of 6-10.
This year's captains were all seniors. The consisted of Linda
Richter, Sandy Webb, Williams, and Finley. Finley was named
MVP and unanimously named to the 2nd All-Conference
team. Williams was named to the 3rd All-Conference team.
"Being my last year, I was pretty happy the way the season
turned out. I felt we worked together as a team, and got
along well as a family," said Webb. + by Kelli Fredrickson

Tremper
Taken Down
"Bradford, Bradford," chanted the fans as junior Lenny
Sanders walked off the mat with a technical fall victory over
Tremper's Dave Blaske .
Not surprising, the home crowds usually chant "Bradford"
after victories, but what was so important was that Sanders
tied the meet at 18-18 and acted as a stop-line. Tremper
didn't score any additional points after that.
After Sander's victory, junior Ed Foster walked onto the
mat to face Tremper's Tom King. Foster came from a 10-10
tie early in the final period by scoring on reversal, a take
down and near fall points. Foster came out 21-11 over King.
Next on the mat was senior Tom Birchell. As he walked on,
the fans chanted not "Bradford," but "Birchell, Birchell."
Roughing it through the first period, Birchell pinned
Tremper's Jeff Wamboldt at the 1:15 mark, adding more
points to the Bradford score.
To keep the Red Devils going strong, senior Glen Skendziel went against Tremper's Jon Keiffer. Skendziel pinned
Keiffer with five seconds left in the bout.
As Skendziel was pronounced winner of the match, the
entire Bradford team, along with some spectators, mobbed
the mat and swarmed around Skendziel, congratulating each
other.
"We faced them. Tremper's coach said that we could
never win. It was one of the highlights of the season," said
junior Scott Davis.
Soon after their momentous victory over Tremper, the
Red Devils broke their perfect season by losing to Case. The
Red Devils won five of the ten bouts and had one forfeit.
Sophomore Dean Moser won on forfeit while junior Norb
Lohberger beat Case's Dave Zurawski, 11-5. Junior Dean
Sinkler, seniors Dan Pavlica and Skendziel earned points by
pinning their opponents.
However, the Devils needed one extra point to tie Case.
They couldn't find it. Case won - 28-27.
"We could have won that meet, but there were too many
injuries and ineligibilities. It shouldn't have been as close as it
was," said Sinkler.
Ending most of the wrestlers' seasons at the regional meet,
the Red Devils placed fifth as a team against their tough
competition.
Tough wasn't the word for some. Seven wrestlers advanced to the sectional. Sinkler took a second by winning on
a technical fall after losing to Tremper in the first round.
Moser, junior Steve Fani, sophomore Jason Parsons, and
Skendziel all took thirds while Pavlica and Lohberger took
fourths.
At the sectional meet, no one from Bradford advanced to
the state meet, thus ending the season for the Devils with a
record of 7-4.
The Winter Sports Banquet highlighted the entire season
for the team . After voting on awards, trophies were presented to certain wrestlers.
Pavlica, although wrestling part of the season J.V. and
changing his weight classes throughout the season, was
awarded Most Valuable. Junior Bryan Hurd was Most Dedicated and also co-captain. Sinkler accompanied him as cocaptain also. Most Improved went to Skendziel and Moser.
Junior Varsity awards went to junior Ken Seiberlich for
Most Valuable, senior Alan Knight for Most Dedicated and
sophomore Jim Widmar for Most Improved. + by Becky Matoska

Repetition
Conside r a popular saying: " Old habits ar e hard to bre ak ."
Some tim es that's not so bad . It's not, for exampl e , wh e n
re ferring to the girls' gymnastics tea m. It's not, more specifically, when that "habit" means appearing at state meets
three out of four years.
Consider another popular saying: " Third time' s a charm ."
Sometimes that 's not so re liable. Suc h was th e case for t he
team this ye ar.
" We went into the (State) Meet hoping that we could
surprise people like we did at Sectionals and place in th e top
two," said senior We ndy Watral. " Plac ing third wasn' t bad ,
but we were still mad and upset at ourselves. "
But by no means should placing third at State be considered anything less than a fantastic finish to a successful se ason. The Red Devils' 110.59 point total was not only the
highest total of the season , but al so a mere thre e points away
from State Champion Nicolet. Not bad for a team that wasn't
supposed to be going to State in the first place.
The gymnasts had to pull an incredible upset in the Sectional Meet to make it there. They finished several points
ahead of Mukwanago, the team favored to take the state
title.
"We were mentally ready for Sectionals, and we wanted to
beat Mukwanago sooo bad it was sort of obvious who was
going to State," explained junior Lynne Kancian . " If we
hadn't kept each other going, we wouldn't have pulled it off.
But we did."
Just like the Devils did all season . Expectations were fairly
high for the team this year, coming off a relatively successful
season last year which saw the girls finish third at the Sectional.
" We didn't start off as good as we hoped to (with all the
injuries)," said Watral, "but we had the type of team where
they were always people to back up when someone was
hurt. We got stronger as the season went on ."
Beginning with the 92.8 point, eleventh place finish at the
Hersey Invitational and ending with the 110.59 point, third
place finish at State, the scores could be seen becoming
progressively higher.
The girls' first dual meet came against Racine Case, the
Devils winning by a score of 96.73-89.31 . The meet also
marked the last time the team would score less than 100
points this season.
After placing second at the Nicolet Invitational, the girls
had notable victories over Milwaukee Hamilton, Tech, and
Madison, and over cross-town rival, Tremper.
They then finished fourth at the Homestead Invitational
before suffering their only loss of the season to Greendale,
last year's State Champs.
"It was a frustrating loss because it was so close," said
senior Kay Kancian.
The .87 point difference resulted in only the fourth loss in
as many years for the gymnastics team.
The season ended with wins over Milwaukee Custer and
Milwaukee Vincent and with the team placing second in the
Brookfield Central and Whitefish Bay Invitationals. They also
finished first at the Conference Meet and second at the
Regional Meet.

The End
Of An Era
It was a long time in coming. After year·s of existing
in a state of perpetual mediocrity, the boys swim team
broke out of its horizontal spiral, winding its way up to
the conference championship.
"Coming into the year we had a lot of returning
lettered swimmers," explained senior Dan Swift .
Based on the first two weeks, though, such a revolutionary season was apparently not to become reality.
Unable to find themselves victorious in two of the first
three meets, it appeared as though this season was to
be just another instance of a Bradford boys swim team
"drowning by the fire."
Thanks to the lack of validity of such hasty general ization, this was definitely not the case. The December Conference Relays proved to be the spark the
Red Devils needed to lift them up and out of that long
shadow of mediocrity. In fact, from then through the
end of the season, the poorest showing the team had
was a tie with Racine Case .
"I think the relays are where our team became
alive," said junior Joe Capelli . "(Before then) we
would sit back and watch our individuals without
cheering as much as we did for the relays. I think it's
because our relays always did good."
Whatever the reason, however, the fact remains
that the team was somehow recalled to life. The swimmers resurrected enough drive and desire to go 5-0-1
in the final five meets, finishing the season at 6-2-1 .
"We had a lot of talent this year. We screwed
around a little at practice, but we were totally serious
when it came time for the meets. Our record showed
that," said senior Russ Gibson.
Regardless of individual talent, though, the season
began as was customary for a Bradford boys swim
team: a season-opening loss to Nicolet seemed partially offset by their success at the Case Triangular, but
a loss to Whitnall quickly returned them to the
"norm ."
It was then that the season took on the characteristics of some forgotten Victorian novel, the fallen hero
of which finally begins to overcome his opponents.
And in quick succession. Following the first place finish at the Relays, the team enjoyed three consecutive
victories over West Allis Hale, Tremper, and Horlick.
The tie with Park may have been viewed as the team
beginning to slack off, but any such ideas were
checked by back-to-back wins against New Berlin
West and Oak Creek. Moreover, the Devils finished
first at the Conference Meet, third at the Sectional
Meet, and twenty-first at the State Meet.
The season was also full of individual accomplishments and heroics. Several long-standing school records fell as the Red Devils sent team members seniors Russ Gibson and Todd Hlavka, freshman Jeff Dugdale, and sophomore Steve Waite to the State Meet in
Madison, Gibson broke the record in the 500 freestyle and as part of the State Relay Team . Junior Dave
Williams set the school diving record, and Dugdale
broke school records in the 200 l.M. and in the 100
backstroke. + by Robert Riva

Weather-Worn
Runners Win
"It seemed like the wind picked up just as I got onto the
starting blocks," said senior Yolanda Finley.
" It was snowing during my race," said senior Diane Thomson.
"The weather was so bad they cancelled the Throwers
Relay," said sophomore Trevera Ervin.
Those are all comments about the 23-team West Allis Hale
Invitational. The Red Devils girls track team took 12th at this,
the largest Invitational in the state.
Through sun, rain, wind, and even snow, the girls turned
out a few individual winners.
Junior Sue Gentes led the Devils by winning both the 800
and 1600 meter runs. Finley placed third and sixth in the 100
and 200 meter dashes respectively.
Also placing for the Devils were Chris Lahey, 7th, 100
hurdles; Thomson, 8th , 3200 meter run; and senior Kay Kancian, 10th, high jump . The Red Devils also received the very
first points ever from the Steeplechase race. Junior Briana
Wiesztort ran it and took 10th.
Gentes also had a winning meet just a few days prior to
West Allis. It was the County Outdoor, and the Red Devils
were the returning champions.
Gentes easily placed first in the 800 and also participated
in the 1600 meter relay for another first. Seniors Finley and
Bobbie Setter and junior Wiesztort were other runners of
the relay.
Lahey, defending county champion in the hurdle races,
added Devil points by winning both the 100 and 300 hurdles
for the second year in a row .
Other firsts went to Finley in the long jump and the 800
relay of seniors Setter and Linda Richter, junior Kelli Fredrickson and sophomore Debi Duffy.
All the firsts added up to half the Devil points but were not
enough to win the meet. St. Joseph's, the small south side
private school which never seemed very important, outscored the Devils by Sl/2 points. It was the first time in 5 years
that the Devils did not win.
"It was sad. There were so many if's it was pathetic. If we'd
done this or if we'd gone faster or what if and what if. The
only good thing about it was that all of the Devil participants
did their best and some even did their personal best," said
Setter.
However, at the end of the season, there were definitely
no what-ifs about it. At the Regional meet, the Devils qualified two girls in four events. As predicted they were Finley
and Gentes, Finley in the 400 and 200 meter dashes and
Gentes in the 800 and 1600 meter runs.
The Sectional meet also favored the Devils, for Gentes
qualified in both her races and Finely in the 400 - her third
consecutive year.
The third time was the charm as Finley brought home a
State championship for the first time ever in the history of
the girls track team!
Gentes did equally well. She placed second in both her
races . These points sufficed to put the girls in fourth place at
State.
So in the end the two "golden girls" brought home a lot of
metal for the Red Devils.+ by Becky Matoska

A 'Case' Of
Broken Records

Breaking records and making history, the Bradford boys
were regular roadrunners on the track this season . For the
first time in the history of Bradford track, the guys defeated
Racine Case in a regular season meet. And from individual to
team efforts in relays, the guys did not seem to stop breaking
records.
"It seems every meet we were breaking records . At practice we worked hard and at meets we worked even harder
... it definitely showed . I was proud to work with such a
good and fast group of guys," commented junior Carlos
Coreea.
The fusillade of breaking records started as early as the
third meet when two records were broken in the Red Devil
Relays. At the home track, the six lap relay of senior Jim

and Cooks again in the 400 where he broke the Bradford
indoor record.
"I was favored to win, but I had two tough competitors
from Racine Horlick. At the start of the race I was in the
middle of both of them and it looked like a second place
finish for me, but from the support of the coaches and my
teammates, I found enough energy to take the lead," said
Cooks.
The big win for Bradford could not have come at a better
time. Going into the last race, Bradford was in second by
only four points. With June, Correa, Bloss, and Cooks running the mile relay, the guys easily took first, which is worth
ten points. The Case team was in first going into the last
event, but because they took third in the relay, which is only
worth six points, the meet ended with a tie between Bradford and Case, 99 all.
"We really wanted to win the relay, but we knew we still
did not have a chance to tie the meet unless Case came in
third. I talked to a Hor lick runner before the race and he said
he would do his best to beat Case. Well, he did his best and
we did too, and that is how we tied the meet," commented
June.
Making it to state were Cooks in the 400, who took 9th
place with a time of 50.56; the mile relay consisting of Correa, Neau, Bloss, and Cooks, which placed 11th; Rick Grabot
in the discus, who did not place; Neau in the 100 meter dash,
who false started; and the 400 meter relay crew of Correa,

Turnaround!
Just for a second the cheers ceased to exist. Life itself was
put on hold as the crowd, oblivious to all but the twelveinch sphere, waited in powerless anticipation for the fate of
that cow-hide gamepiece.
The mounted tension relaxed somewhat (as though it
slipped out of gear) but immediately caught again with the
sound of aluminum on leather, re-establishing the tension's
firm control: skirting along an unplanned route up the pitcher's mound, the ball took a resolute bounce but still ended
up in a familiar spot - the first baseman's glove.
One only needed to notice the shaking head attached to
the white jersey (a mere sixty feet from scoring) to understand just what took place: this softball season, at least for the
Red Devils, had become history .
But the 7-1 season-ending loss to south-side rival Tremper
should not be looked at as a sampling of what the year was
like . Not at all. This was a season to be proud of, one which
showed just what hard work and determination could accomplish. The girls scratched out, blew through and even
came from behind to win seven of its eleven conference
games.
A year that began with a dismal forecast and an even more
dismal first half turned out to be one that saw Bradford win
five of its last six regular-season games, including an 11-10
come-from-behind upset over the Trojans, a win that removed any hope of a conference championship for
Tremper.
"That win was definitely the highlight of the season," said
junior Kris Jackson. "Everyone enjoyed it - whether they
were playing or not."
The season officially got underway on April 7 at Burlington
on a Monday, obviously: Bradford lost to the home team by a
score of 12-1. The Red Devils' second outing did not turn
out much better than the first as they lost to Racine Park, 12-

2.
The offense came to life for a week, scoring forty-five runs
in three games, but the team could only pull out two wins.
The girls romped over Racine Case, 19-9, and Racine Horlick, 16-5, but lost a tough match to Tremper, 16-10.
Conference champions Milwaukee Bayview also proved
to be too strong for the then struggling Red Devils. Bayview
won handily, 12-1.
Then came the game that marked the turning point of the
season. It was a game that the girls should have won quite
easily but found even the most basic of softball's requirments for physical coordination impossible to manage. The
result was an obvious loss, 9-8 to Milwaukee Hamilton.
"Nothing went right in that game," said senior Colette
Gregory. "It was like everyone decided to get all their bad
plays out of their system in one game."
Apparently it worked. The girls won five of their last six
regular season games for a third place finish in the conference. During that stretch, they scored sixty runs (about twice
as many points as the football team managed all season).
At the end of the year banquet, the team members who
were honored with awards were as follows: Most Improved
went to Carrie Tabbert, Most Spirited was Tricia Hockney,
and Jori Glitzky was the team's Most Valuable Player. + by

Making It,
Breaking It
Have to admit it. Th e Bradford guys had e verybody thinking th e y we re going to go all th e way this ye ar. But th e n th e y
lost one and th e n they won one and then they just could not
see m to ge t it back. Every te am they played beat them the
second time around , that excluding Bay View and, of course,
Tremper.
" After coming off our fir st loss of the season , we once
again wanted to prove ourselves. I am glad it was at the hands
of th e Trojans," commented senior Armand Bonofiglio.
The spark started for Bradford in the bottom of the first
inning and the fire burned through the Trojans half of the
fifth inning, when the game was called on the "slaughter
rule." Tremper had managed to score on a wild pitc h wh e n
the Bradford guys got their hands on the bats to redeem
their error. Well, redeem it they did . The first run came in on
a hit by senior Louie Caira after junior Dicky Coshun , senior
Ron Birchell, and Bonofiglio had loaded the bases on two
walks and an error. Senior Tony Bonofiglio singled, driving in
two more runs. Junior Eric Wnuck then walked before senior
Mark Schaffer doubled for yet another two runs. Junior
Chris Adamczyk singled and Coshun hit one to the wall to
rack in one more.
" I went up to the plate not ever having faced that pitcher
before, and having heard he was tough . I just went up there
trying to hit the ball. I got an outside pitch and just went with
it," said Coshun .
Birchell doubled to produce two more runs, and Armand
Bonofiglio singled for the final run of the inning . Tremper
had their chance in the fourth inning, when they managed
to get the bases loaded, but the Trojans could not overcome
the incredible Bradford defense. The final score, Bradford
12- Tremper 1. Bradford defeated Tremper the second time
around during a triple header at Simmons Field 1-0.
In the first game against Bay View, Wnuck was the hero.
Pitching a one-hitter, Wnuck struck out 11 and walked only
one. On yet another freezing day, the guys endured to play
great defense as well as offense. In the fourth inning Caira
singled Birchell, who had already singled himself, to third
from where he scored on the back end of a double steal.
Bradford scored their second run in the seventh, when Chris
Adamczyk walked, was moved to second on a sacrifice by
senior John Ficcadenti, and then scored on a wild pitch . The
major defensive play of the game was a daring diving catch
by Armand Bonofiglio in the seventh. Bradford won their
game 2-0.
Back at home in Simmons Field, Bradford beat Bay View
again. This time Armand Bonofiglio pitched and did well at
that. He allowed four hits, struck out seven and walked
three . In the first, Armand Bonofiglio did it again with a
double and was than brought home by Caira's single. Then in
the third, Ficcadenti walked and was brought in on Birchell's
single. Going into the fourth, Ficcadenti singled in pinch
r'unner Coshun who was on with Wnuck's single. Bonofiglio
scored the fourth run after singling. Final score, Bradford 4Bay View 2.
The guys finished third in the Big Nine Conference. Armand Bonofiglio was named to second team All-Conference
as outfielder and Caira was as well as third baseman . Wnuck
was honored to First team as pitcher and was also named
Most Valuable . • by Kelli Fredrickson

Thirteen years is a very long time to wait for anything. But
that's how long the boys tennis team had to wait for a victory
over Tremper.
By dominating the singles area, the Red Devils defeated
the Trojans 4-3 . Senior Joe Barrette served up a storm as he
beat his Tremper rival 6-3, 6-1 at No. 1 Singles. Senior Ed
Maraccini followed suit by winning the first set 6-4. Maraccini then fell 4-6 in the second set but came back in the third
to spear the Trojan with another 6-4.
Junior Chuck Werve was the only Devil to knock the
Trojan off his horse by acing him 6-0 in the first set. Letting
the fallen Trojan climb back up just once in the second set,
Werve finished him by going 6-1 .
Putting a final end to the Trojans was junior Kevin Kieffer.
Although equally matched, Kieffer slayed the Trojan by going 7-5 in both sets.
That put a final end to the Trojan tennis domination.
Overall score 4-3. The Devils won the battle.
Another big victory for the Red Devils was the victory at
the Janesville Triangular, where some state-ranked players
competed. The Devils edged out Craig by three games and
Parker by ten. Werve led the winning by getting 24 games at
No. 5 Singles. Barrette and senior Pete Dawson each won 19
games at No. 1 and No. 3 Singles respectively.
Senior Jay Martin won 18 at No. 6 and Maraccini and
senior Tom Laken 16 at No. 2 and No. 4 respectively.
"It was a close match, and having only three teams there
made it even closer . Winning at Janesville was a great way to
start the season," commented Laken.
Minor season victories came when the Devils beat Hamilton 6-1. Barrette, Maraccini, Werve and Kieffer won at No.
1-4 Singles. The Doubles teams of seniors Brian Loeffler and
Martin and Dawson and sophomore John Naumowitz won at
No. 2 and 3.
The Devils also went 5-0 over Zion-Benton . Barrette, Maraccini and Werve swept the Singles while senior Dan Esposito and Martin and Dawson and Laken took the doubles.
All the victories can not just be attributed to the players.
For behind every good athlete there must be a good coach .
This was the first year that Charles Chatman was the head
coach. Chatman took over the job when Harry Stoebe resigned.
"It was hard for the seniors having Stoebe for all 3 years
and having Chatman only for J.V. coach. Towards the end of
the season we got used to him," said Laken.
Barrette, Wervie and Maraccini must have adjusted to
Chatman rather well, for those three competed at No. 1
Singles but lost out in the first round on the indoor Madison
courts. Maraccini and Wevie, who competed at No. 2 Doubles, received a bye in the first round, but then lost out in
the second.
The State tournament ended the Devils' season - the best
in the history of boys tennis.
For a season well finished, players received awards which
they earned. Barrette received Most Valuable and Best
Sportsmanship. Maraccini was awarded Most Dedicated and
Mr. Hustle. Wervie was given Most Wins and Dawson received Most Spirited and Best Leadership. + by Becky Matoska

Now, it's not uncommon for a team to play better in
adverse rather than fair weather. (Just think of the Packers
when it snows.) But, come on, a golf team that goes from
good to great when atmospheric conditions go from sun to
snow?
Unusual as it may seem, it really did happen. Two of the
golf teams three best showings occurred, one in the rain and
one in the snow. The oddest part of it, though, is that it
wasn't all that odd . Not this year, at least.
This season proved to be one in which Bradford's iron men
demonstrated to the world the art of changing from a whimsically laughable group of club-swinging idiots to a challenge. Yeah, a challenge. Just as Milwaukee Madison's
golfers discovered after the visiting Bradford team beat them
by eight strokes. Just as twenty-three of the forty-one teams
at the Janesville Invitational discovered when the Red Devils
blew past them in a cloud of sand.
"We ... had a great showing at the Janesville Invite," said
senior Steve Schuaiko. "But more importantly we gained
respect for our golf team."
Respect. Something that, at the high school level at least, is
only obtained by winning. Following that line of thought, the
guys got their sought-after respect successively from Milwaukee Custer, Pulaski, Washington, South, and Bay View,
and from the south-side Trojans.
Nothing could have been sweeter than when the Red
Devils humbled Tremper for the first time in years.
"Nothing was sweeter than humbling Tremper for the first
time in years," said senior Dan Pacetti .
Outshooting the Trojans marked a high point of the year
even though by that stage of the season such an accomp lishment appeared almost routine.
Unlike other years, the Red Devils deve loped a winning
routine by, quite simply, learning to win - right from the
beginning. The season started with Bradford laug h ing its way
past Mi lwaukee's Custer High School, winning by a comfortable margin of twenty strokes. Next came the match with
Milwaukee Madison, but just when everything looked to be
on the upswing, the team seemed to lose is concentration.
The Devils lost two striaght matches, golfing identical
scores of 199, losing first to a more seasoned Racine Park
team and then to Milwaukee Hami lton. The Beloit Invitational seemed to reassure most observers that Bradford's
terrific start was just a fluke and that the team would once
again have to "wait until next year." However, after t he
ironmen's succes at the Janesville Invite, t he Red Devils
never again ta ll ied up more than 190 strokes.
the team then lost to Horlick but subsequently won five
co nsecutive matches over Pulask i, Washington, Tremper,
South and Bay View.
Unfortunate ly, the regular season ended with a loss to
Racine Case. Bradford shot a season-low 176, but was stil l not
able to top Case's 171 .
At the Big Nine Conference Championship, Bradford finished 6t h. The year came to a close with the Red Devils' 8th
p lace fin ish at Regional competition .
This year's captain was Steve Shwaiko, a senior. Another
senior, Erik Anderson, was voted Most Improved, and the
MVP's were senior Dan Pacetti and freshman Brent Dorenbecker.+ by Robert Riva

At School
After Hours
Who in th ei r right mind would spend extra time after
sc hool just for the joy of it?
Athletes did , that's who. These people spent anywhere
from on e to three hours extra every night to polish up on
their particular spor t.
Ranging from the grace involved in gymnastics to the
strength needed for football, practices consisted of hours
spent on conditioning muscles and improving their form .
" At the beginning of the tennis season, Coach Chatman
has us work our way up to a mile run, and day by day he
increased the number of sprints we did. This was to help us
keep from getting winded during t he matches," said senior
tennis player Margie Godlewski.
" After the fir st couple of days of running to get our endurance up, Coach Farrell started us on events. High jumpers
started to work on their approach, long jumpers set the
marks, and relays worked on the hand-offs. Practices were
the only times when we could goof up. The meets were too
important to use as just another practice," said senior track
runner Bobbie Setter.
Not only were after-school hours spent practicing, but
also vacation hours. Summer vacations were taken up by
football and Easter vacation was taken up by track practices.
Instead of having fun during these vacations and after
school hours, these athletes were at grueling practices having no fun at all, right? No, not always.
Practices weren't just for intense concentration of the
sport. Some fun was on the agenda.
" On some of the distance runs, we'd go off to McDonalds
or Dunkin Doughnuts and stay there until it was time to go
back," said an anonymous cross-country runner.
"Sometimes during practices, we'd just throw the balls
over the fence or super high in the air. But mostly we had
fun just by playing tennis with someone. You'd be amazed at
how many new words you learn while playing," said junior
tennis player Dan Ciapetta.
Sure there was fun involved; there had to be. Otherwise it
would have been a drag, right? It still could be a drag.
"The stress workouts are hard. On those days you just
don't feel like going, but you know you have to if you want
to get better," said junior track runner Laura Galli.
"Sometimes, when the coaches get mad because you
screwed up during a game, they'll take it out on you at
practice. They'll have you do a lot of everything and more.
At times the seconds seem more like minutes," said junior
Kelly Schlevensky.
Getting better - that's what it's all about. So how did an
athlete go about getting better?
"Repetition. The drills become second nature and all the
shots sooner or later become easier," said senior basketball
player Steve Lalonde.
"You keep going through the routines, polishing the
rough spots and getting the thing to flow . Everything needs
to be perfect," said junior Lynne Kancian.
" All the workouts and long runs really help you to get
your muscles in shape and get your aerobic level up to its
potential," said senior cross-country runner Amy Plutchak.
Practice makes perfect - that's the old cliche that held
true for these true-blue athletes.

Now that the end is near,
one must stand back and put
the entire thing into perspective. Was the wait really
worth it? Was the final product worth the effort put into
it, or was it all a waste of
time?
The basketball and football
teams certainly had much
time to wait. With a winless
season for the football team,
it appeared that the basketball team was headed in the
same direction. In the same
direction, that is, until the
memorable game against
Case when Bradford pulled
it off with a score of 54-52.
Aft~r victory was finally on
our side, waiting game after
game was worth it.
Varsity cheerleader senior
Gina Adamson said, "Beating
Case was worth the wait. The
feeling was one I will never
forget. The memory of this
game was worth waiting
for."
From day one of kindergarten to graduation from
high school was a pleasure
that had to be waited for. It
appeared that the wait
would never end, and
graduation would never
come. Many felt they would
be trapped with freedom
just beyond their grasp. But
after all the hype and pomp,
graduation was a relief, a

burden laid to rest in a diploma.
"It's just not as big of a
deal as it used to be. A college graduation would mean
more to me and more of a
challenge also," said senior
John Ficcadenti.
Success was something
that had to be waited for.
This year, DECA and Forensics were two clubs who
waited and tasted success.
Taking nine members to the
National Convention in Atlanta, DECA member Suzette Loverine placed with
her manual, becoming the
fourth DECA member from
Bradford to place at Nationals. For Forensic members,
success was in ample supply.
Taking twenty-six members
to State, eight of those members received a perfect score
and were bestowed the Critics Choice Award. For senior
Ron Kelly, it was his third
consecutive year with this
award.
Throughout one's life, we
have been forced to wait a
little longer. Well, now it's
over. We can put the past
behind us and look forward
into a future full of uncertainty and promise. The
waiting is over, but its rewards are always worthwhile.

One of the year's biggest rock
shows took place on Capital Hill,
where a Senate committee focused
on a mounting controversy-rock lyrics and porn rock . Rock lyrics have
long been the subject of ridicule,
but never has the specter of censor~hip hung as heavily over the record
industry.
It all started when a group of
women, led by Susan Baker, the wife
of the secretary of the treasury, and
Tipper Gore, the wife of the senator
from Tennessee, formed the Parents
Music Resource Center (PMRC).
The PMRC's primary goal was to
persuade the record industry to
adopt a lyrics rating system similar to
that used to rate motion pictures.
"It's pretty lame," said junior Erica
Cima. "It depends on personal taste.
It's like a priest reviewing Playboy."
Stanley Gortikov, the president of
\ Recording Industry Association

of America, said that scree ning
25,000 songs a year was impossible.
However, fearing opposition to the
PMRC would start legislation gran ting royalties to the recording industry on the sale of blank tapes and
tape recorders twenty-four companies agreed to place a label read ing "Parental Guidance: Explicit Lyrics" on their products.
The PMRC was not satisfied and
made further demands including the
printing of lyrics on record jackets.
Gortikov maintained that the PG rating was as far as the record industry
was willing to go.
Several recording stars appeared
before the Senate comm ittee expressing their feelings on the subject. Frank Zappa logically, and willingly, debated the meaning of the
First Amendment rights, while Dee
Snider of Twisted Sister showed
America that metal has some brains
after all.
Senior Lizz Otto had strong feelings on the subject: "In my opinion,
parents should listen to music with
their children and then decide together. A group of bored housewives with nothing else to do
shouldn't be telling anyone what to
listen to. No one is forcing you to
listen to the music, so if you don't
like it, don't listen to it!"
Among the artists the PMRC has
attempted to censor include Prince,
Twisted Sister, WASP, and John
Denver's "drug influenced" Rocky
Mountain High .
Unfortunately, silent amid the turmoil were most of the fans, the kids
who stand to lose the most if these
moves towards censorship succeed .• by Ron Kelly

Kenosha's marvelous little escape hatch!

3801 - 60th Street

HOW WE GET THERE
Toooooooooooooooooot! The
horn blared .
" Hey, buddy! Watch where you're
going!"
"Watch where you're going! Get
some new glasses so you can see the
road!"
"George, quit yelling at that man
and watch the road . Look out for
that kid!"
"Don't worry about me, honey. I
see him. It's the jerk that cut me off
that we have to watch!"
This conversation has been repeated by millions of people in different situations. The vehicle in
which it occurred varied as much as
the destination.
The most common way of getting
around was the car. Access to a car
once a license was obtained was relatively easy. Parents would either loan
out the family car, buy their teen a
beater, or the teen would buy his
own. The crowded parking lot attested to the fact that many kids had
a car.
A second mode of transportation
commonly used by students was bicycles. In the fall and spring, the bicycle racks would be packed with
bikes of all kinds.
Another popular warm -season
carrier, a cousin of the bike, was a

moped. Sprees, as many people
called them, were just as popular as
bikes when warm weather prevailed.
Rows of red, black and white motor
scooters waited in the sunshine
while their owners were in school.
"I enjoyed riding my moped to
school when the weather was right.
After school got out my moped (Yamaha Tomie) made it easy to get
around town," said senior Dawn
Cochran.
One unique mode of transportation also gave the transportee some
exercise: skateboards were used by
some students to get around. Skateboards were relatively inexpensive
and seemingly easy to ride. Most students kept their boards in their lockers while they were in class.
11
/n Back to the Future, Michael J.
Fox got around by skateboarding all
the time. It was great in the movie,
but I'm not into skateboarding myself although it's a lot more popular
since the movie," said senior Margie
Godlewski.
Last, but not least, came the bus.
The shuttle buses carried masses of
people to and from school everyday
of the term. Unfortunate upperclassmen who didn 't have a car and sophomores without a license packed the
large caravan to its fullest. No one
liked riding the bus even though it
was convenient, but some had no
choice.
The face of transportation was
ever changing. Rusted Pacers and
Gremlins parked next to Camaros
and Firebirds. Honda 550 cc and 50
cc Sprees leaned on kickstands together. As the paths to school varied, so did the methods of following
them. + by Linda Beck er

You watch as the red second hand
crawls past those big black numbers
on its way around the face of the
clock . Minutes turn into hours and
you wonder how you'll ever make it
through the class.
To deal with boredom, students
invented new time-passers and relied on some classic standbys to ease
the pain.
The all-time time killer was the
ever popular note writing. Whether
it was just dropping a few lines to a
friend or a six page epic to one's true
love, writing notes made class bearable . Besides, it was easy to get away
with writing notes.
Senior Pam Frederick and junior
Tracy Freitag added a new twist to
the art of notewriting.
"During my 5th hour class, I sit in
the back of the room by the plastic
divider wall," commented Frederick .
"When the boredom gets to be too
much, I write a note to Tracy and
then slip it under the wall to her. She
writes back and then slides it back
under the wall to me."
It appeared that stale classes also
led to an impromptu art session .
From doodling in a notebook to
drawing on folders or bookcovers,
or even the desks, the pen was
mightier than the word.
Daydreaming also proved to be a
popular escape method. The imagination took many students to that
magical someplace: anyplace else.
"I think about other things. I block
out what I hear and focus on more
interesting things-like my friends,"
said senior Frances Curi.
"I talk to other people around me
and cut up on stupid blondes and
carps," said senior Todd Mccuaig.

Personal hygiene and vanity also
played a role in wasting time. Girls
were seen whipping out the Covergirl and Avon and applying blush and
eyeshadow. Nails became the victim
of abuse as they were buffed, painted, and bitten . Brushes and combs
raked through the names of students
as mirrors reflected the desired images.
"Once in Mr. Anderson's class, I
was thinking about what happened
over the weekend and I started
laughing out loud. He yelled at me
and said that nothing was funny, but
it was," remarked junior Lynne
Clement.
The most important thing to remember was that boredom was a
state of mind. If all else failed, sleep
was a final option . • by Ron Kelly

HANGIN' OUT IN K-TOWN
Friday night - a time when most
party animals came out to howl. The
weekend was the time for teenagers
(alias party animals) to go wild . It was
a time of freedom.
One hot spot was the local teen
"bars." These non-alcoholic dance
spots were popular with the student
body for many reasons. There were
two located in the area, Non-Stop in
Racine and Duran Duran in Burlington.
"They play a variety of music, so
there is something for everyone,"
said sophomore Amy Burch. "You
are constantly amused by the pool
tables, people, and fun . It's a break
away from everything."
Local fast food restaurants were
another hot spot for many students.
Whether it was running in for a
quick bite after a dance or spending
an entire evening at one, fast food
joints were a favorite . McDonalds,
Burger King, Hardees, and Wendys
saw a steady steam of teenaged customers.
"It gives you someplace to go after
a dance instead of going right home .
Besides, it's pretty cheap, and it can
be a lot of fun," said senior Wendy

Boggs.
Yet another favorite weekend
hangout was the movie theaters. UA
Cinemas 5 and Market Square Theatres garnered quite few weekend
customers from the teenage crowds.
The biggest advantage to an evening
at the movies was that it was relatively cheap (only $4). Some of the hottest movies for teens were Cung-ho,
Pretty in Pink, Down & Out in Beverly Hills, and Police Academy 3.
The mall was another hot spot of
today's teens. Regency Mall, the
closest in the area, offered all types
of restaurants, stores, and services,
convenient location, and easy access. An evening could be pleasantly
spent looking at clothes in DJ's, The
Gap, and Jean Nicole; snacking at
Orange Julius, Hot Sam, and Maloney's; and hanging out in the arcade,
Aladdin' Castle.
Where teens spent their weekend
evenings varied from week to week .
Very few did the same thing two
weeks running. Variety is the srice
of life was the motto of many o today's teens, and the different hot
spots fulfilled the need for change
nicley . • by Linda Becker

1 luv Pete! K.M . and M .M. forever .
School sucks! Are these familiar?
They should be. Everytime a student
looked down at a desk or walked
into a bathroom stall, these and other similar inscriptions stared back at
him.
Vandalism has always been a problem in schools, but lately it seemed
to be getting worse.
One example of this was the heavy
amount of graffiti in the bathrooms.
Probably the ones with the heaviest
amount were the ones located by
the field house. Attempts to cover
up the massive amounts of writing
were done by painting over the
walls. However, as soon as a fresh
coat of paint was dry, people began
to write on the walls again. By the
end of the year, there were probably
at least five coats of paint on the
walls.
This was not only a waste of money and time for the school and the
janitors, but students also suffered
because they couldn't use those
bathrooms while they were being
painted.
"I don't think there's anyfurpose
to it. What's the big deal o writing
you love somebody on a bathroom
wall? I think it's stupid!" said junior
Silvana Presta.
Another form of vandalism in the
school was the writing on the desks.
Anything from proclamations of love
to favorite rock bands to cartoon
doodles to conversations could be
found on any desk. The desks were
also washed periodically but writing
would appear a day later anyway.
Unlike the graffiti on the bathroom walls, some students actually
liked some of the things written on
the desks. Some also felt that it was a
creative way to vent their emotions
or combat boredom.

"It's neat; some of it is a form of
art. It would be weird to see a totally
clean desk . I'm all for it," said senior
Darren Fortney.
The vandalism done to the school
has not only been limited to desks
and bathrooms. The planetarium was
also recently painted after the graffiti
on its walls became too much.
The effects of vandalism hurt everyone in the school. If people only
realized that doing these various
things was wrong, maybe the vandalism would finally end.• by Eliza Reyes

TO SLEEP PERCHANCE TO DREAM
The woman stood in the center of
a chocolate river. Towering about
her were mountains of chips of
chocolate topped with dribbling vanilla ice cream . A citrus orange sun
shone brightly in the sky, complimented by fluffy white marshmallow
clouds. It was a peaceful day .
Suddenly the peanut brittle plates
shifted beneath her feet. A rumbling
could be heard in the distance. Oh,
no! it was a food quake! Chunks of
Hershey bar came tumbling down
from the chocolate mountains and
the serene scene was transformed
into one of chaos . ..
The boy awoke with a start. What
had he been dreaming about?
Something about Hershey bars, he
was sure. It was too bad his alarm
clock had awakened him . He started
getting ready for school. Every person dreams although many do not
think that they do. Most dreamers
only remember slight details about
the life they lead in their dreams.
However, dreams were very important. First, dreams freed a person
from his inhibitions. When dreaming, one's inner-most secrets, emotions, and desires were revealed.
Second, dreams provided an outlet
for these emotions and desires. A
person who wanted to have more
power could dream that• he was a
shogun in ancient China or the leader of motorcycle gang. It was the ultimate form of play acting.
"I had a dream that the world
wasn't created yet. I was at Boy Scout
camp, and my grandma Paskiewicz,
who had died, had come back to tell
me I had to create the world. All of
my family and friends were in a concentration camp and the Nazis came

to get us. We had invented an O .J.
maker that made us fly. The Nazis
were trying to get us, so I turned Sue
Gentes into a whale and she created
the oceans by blowing water. We
were all saved," said junior Tina Paskiewicz. The most familiar form of
dreaming was day dreaming. Wandering off in one's own never-never
land during economics class was not
really a smart thing to do, but it did
happen quite frequently . Day
dreamers pictured themselves away
from the mundane place they were
to an exotic setting far away from any
classroom . Besides relieving the
boredom for a time, it provided a
creative outlet where one could
safely wander.
"I look at the teacher and notice
things like his unmatched tie and
pants and the plaid sport coat with
pinstripe pants. It's more like a
nightmare," joked senior Lisa Dummer. So, the next time the urge to
nod off becomes too strong, give in
to it. What dreams that come out of
it will provide a mirror into the inner
workings of the mind of the creator,
and offer a little free time away from
boring Adam Smith .• by Linda Becker

From its birth in the SOs to its psychopolitical stance of the 60s and the
disco-punk mix of the 70s, contemporary music has changed faces as many
times as Imelda Marcos has shoes.
1986 was a year when old favorites
split and new bands established themselves as a strong force.
Music artists once again reached out
to try and solve some of the world's
problems with Farm Aid, Sun City, and
Live Aid.
In a year when prominent female artists such as Madonna and Tina Turner
held fast to their titles, new voices like
Whitney Houston, Suzanne Vega, and
Sade broke through.
Phil Collins, Bruce Springsteen, and
Prince sat on top of the pile for favorite
male performers, but newcomers
Charlie Sexton and Billy Ocean made
their presence know. However, it was
Elvis Costello that continued ruling the
country-culture scene as king.
1986 saw the break-up of the Police
and the rise of Sting. As the blonde
boys of En~land, Wham! called it quits,
George Michael tried his hand at a solo
career, as did David lee Roth when
Van Halen went "Van Hagar." But
there was some light at the end of the
tunnel when the WHO made an "impromptu" performance at Live Aid. Rumors circulated that they might reform
and record, but they were just that rumors.
"Saint" Bob Geldof continued to
spread his version of humanity
throughout the world, and the world
responded by tallying up over $92 million in famine relief.
New bands demanded a voice, and
The Smiths, Mr. Mister, The Pet Shop
Boys, and A-Ha were some of them
heard.
Some bands changed their image and
altered their sounds to gain a position
on the charts. Heart, Tears for Fears,
and Fire Straits all had a surge of new
popularity.

A return to the sound of the 60s invaded the sound of the 80s. Bands like
The Cult, The Dream Academy, and
Fine Young Cannibals searched for
songs with both meaning and a pulsating beat. Heavy metal held on for another year with the help of M<>tley
Criie, Ratt, WASP, and a new Ozzy
Osbourne.
Classics such as U2, Erk Clapton,
Aerosmith, and The Talking Heads
proved that they had what it took to be
one-of-a-kind.
Pretty in Pink was the movie sound track with cuts from New Order, INXS,
Echo and the Bunnymen, and The Psychedelic Furs. Favorite albums went to
Phil Collins, Sting, and Whitney Houston while favorites songs were "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits, "What
You Need" by INXS, and "How Will I
Know?" by Whitney.
Music from the SOs and 60s seems so
distant and shallow to the teens of today. How will today's popular music
seem to tomorrow's teens? • by Ron Kelly

NO MORE MORNING MONOTONE
The word of the day, club meetings,
sports results, the Black History rap.
Which one doesn't fit?
Actually, all were part of the daily
announcements at one time or another. The first three were things people heard everyday, but there was definitely something unique about the last
one.
This year, there were more student
announcements than ever before. They
included anything from advertising Friday night dances, urgings to come to
home basketball games, or reminders
of club meetings. The idea behind
these was that they would be more
likely to listen.
There were a handful of student announcements that got plenty of attention. One example was the cheerleaders' wave. A few days before the
winter sports assembly, two members
of the wrestling cheerleading squad
asked the question, "Where's the
wave?" By the time the assembly rolled
around, everyone was ready to do the
wave.
Another memorably unique announcement was the Black History rap.
During Black History Week, members
of the Minority Student Leadership
Council and Rainbow Connection
would commemorate the life of famous
black leaders on the daily announcements. At the end of the week, stu-

dents heard something totally different. Instead of just reading off the
achievements of one famous black
leader, junior Lee Lyles and sophomore
Kelly Griffin did a rap that nobody
would ever forget.
"I thought it was interesting. It added
something different to the announcements and it got people to listen," said
junior Kate Fowler.
The Rainbow Connection also had
announcements advertising one of
their dances and a fashion show. These
consisted of raps as well as music and
sound effects in the background.
These, however, did not go over as
well.
"It was a good idea but you couldn't
really understand what they were saying," said junior Laura Galli.
Senior wills also became a subject on
the morning announcements. Everyday, one could hear the plaintive cries
of senior Lyna Paulstelis telling seniors
to get thier wills in fast.
Perhaps one of the most unique announcements was when members of
the Student Council sang "Happy
Birthday" to the principal Lawrence
Jones.
As the year wore on, students got
tired of daily announcements. However, with announcements like these,
some students did sit up and take notice.+ by Eliza Reyes

"It really disgusts me, and I think
something should be done about it!"
This heated remark made by senior
Mary Messerlie expressed the feelings
of many around the school. It seemed
that one could not avoid trash. It was
everywhere! No matter where one was,
trash lined the halls and dotted the
landscape.
"Parts of this school are basically
new, but you couldn't tell if you just
looked around," said senior Linda Richter. "People should have a little courtesy and pick up after themselves."
This was the prevalent attitude
among most students. The amount of
refuse littering the area was an extremely noticeable reminder that students tend to neglect what's not theirs.
"I think it is terrible that people cannot throw away their trash . It is a definite sign of immaturity," declared junior Carl Holborn. "It's so simple you
shouldn't even have to think about it."
But this was not the case. The
amount of trash became a part of the

everyday scene, and no one se e med
bothered except the janitors and
neighbors.
"It bothers me to see all of the trash
lying around," remakred senior Kathy
Kollman. "The extra minute it would
take each person to shoot their garbage
away could make a big difference in the
school's appearance."
It seemed as if the pop cans, candy
wrappers, and crumpled papers were
supposed to be there. The place would
have seemed naked without them.
"It really makes me mad! I guess
some people really don't care about
their school or what it looks like," commented senior Dianne Schuster. "I'm
sure people would stop littering if they
had to clean it all up."
Maybe this plea and suggestion made
some take notice, and hopefully, someone took some action to stop the mess
before it topples the school. Then
again, this could be the trash some
dreams are made of! +by Gina Radandt

STAYING IN SHAPE
Ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one-hundred. As the sweat glistened and rolled
down the bodybuilder's face, she continued her workout with numerous exercises. This was not an uncommon situation. Today, more and more men and
women had become equally involved
in the physical fitness craze. Keeping
one's body in shape became very important.
Many students have become involved with workouts, especially those
in sports.
As senior Joe Barrette commented,
"I feel it is important that everyone
should become involved with physical
fitness. Sports and fitness have been a
big part of my life and I am sure it has
helped me develop as a person and as
an athlete."
Christy Hale added, "I love workouts, especially running. It keeps me
in shape, makes me feel good, and it is a
lot of fun to do with my friends."
People involved with the fitness
craze were categorized into two main
groups. The first group involved people commonly known as the dieters.
Within this group there were two extremities: those who believed in starvation and those who believed in eating
right three times a day from the four
basic food groups.
The second group consisted of the
activists. The two extremes in this
group involved people who believed
ten situps a day would make them into
a Christie Brinkley or an Arnold
Schwarzenegger. Others believed in
working out four hours a day, seven
days a week. Of course, success only
came when there was a balance of

each.
Along with these categories, there
were several other factors which determined workouts. The amount of time
available to some hindered the amount
of exercise they could have done. The
original physical shape a person was in
was essential to determining how long
or to what extent physical activity
could help. The amount of money one
was willing to spend determined if
someone was to belong to the KYF or
the Body Shop.
The last two important requirements
were will power and mental preparation. Without initiative, a potential
physical fitnes.s candidate would never
have gotten started.
As junior Sue Mielke stated, "I believe that physical fitness relies not only
on what a person does physically, but
on the mental image and reasoning of
the individual."+ by Noel Moeller

"Hey Susie, come here! Did you hear
what happened Saturday night at Sheila's party?"
"No, what happened?"
"Jimmy went to the party with Carol,
and was dancing all night long with
Kim, but then left with Ruthie."
Does this sound familiar? Conversations similar to this one could be heard
echoing throughout the halls nearly every Monday morning after an eventful
weekend. Typical teenagers participate
in gossip in one way or another. Some
were better at spreading gossip, and
others made the perfect listeners.
But why do these people gossip?
Junior Patty Sironen summed it up by
saying, "Some people gossip just to
hear themselves talk."
Much of the gossip that was spread
was started simply from jealousy. If
someone was less popular or was receiving more attention than someone
else, an easy way to switch the attention was to spread little 'white lies'
about the more popular people.
"I think people should watch what
they say about others, because someday the tables may be turned," said
senior Gary Martin.
Although most gossip was done all in
fun, sometimes rumors were started

that hurt a person's feelings. Take for
example, the story of Jane Doe.
Jane had been going out with the
same guy for most of the year and had
liked him a lot. The only problem was
that Mary Smith also liked him. Mary
told the guy that she had seen Jane with
another guy at the movies. Of course
this wasn't true, but Jane's boyfriend
believed Mary's story because everyone was talking about it, and so he
broke up with Jane. Even though
Mary's plan succeeded in breaking up
the couple, Mary didn't win in the end
after all. Soon after, Jane's boyfriend
found out the truth and they got back
together.
Junior Shelly Bacher said, A lot of
kids think gossiping will win them
friends and make them popular."
On the other hand, gossip is not always bad.
"Sometimes gossip can be a great
conversation starter 111 commented junior Jenny Klemp.
All in all, although being a rumor
monger wasn't something everyone
wanted to be known as, a little gossip
was what helped some students
through their long high school days.

Cable Captures K-Town Quickly
"Hey, did you hear the big news?"
"Whal big news?"
"You know what big news!"
"No, I don't know what you are talking about!"
"Cable TV is coming to K-town!"
"No kidding?!"
"It's for real, dude."
"Too good!"
Comments like these buzzed when news that cable television had finally made ii to Kenosha hit the
streets. People were excited because now more exciting movie channels like Home Box Office, Showlime,
The Movie Channel, and Cinemax would be available. Others liked the offerings of lifetime, CBN, and USA.
Still others were happy because of ESPN and WTBS. However, only one really caught the attention of the
teenagers: MTV.
"I like the veejays. For the most part, they are interesting. Plus music news and concert dates keep me
informed on the rock scene," said senior Tom Larson.
While videos did capture a lot of one's viewing lime, there were still other features for which teens would
give up MTV.
"I like the variety of cable TV. I don't have ii, so when I gel a chance to watch ii I don't want to just sit
and watch videos. I flip channels constantly," remarked senior Geri Heibert.
No matter what the posion, cable television had definitely captured K-town. bv Linc/J B•" ~ , .,

Lake Michigan: It's Rising Fast
No one really seems to care what happens with Lake Michigan. To many, it is just a place to go. However,
there are some serious concerns that Kenoshans should have about Lake Michigan. It's on the rise.
For the past fifteen years. the lake has been steadily rising. It is expected to reach a record high in July.
However, the face is not a cause for celebration. The city's greatest worry is what will happen afterward.
According to Curtis Larson. a geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey who had studied the Kenosha
County shoreline, lake levels could go as high as three or four feet higher than the present 580.8 feet above
sea level by the year 2000.
Each successive eleven to fifteen year high water cycle "will probably break the record high water mark
of the cycle before it," according to Larson. This will continue for decades to come.
This would mean the disappearance of the beach at Eichelmann Park, a widening of the city's boat
harbor, and flooding in the Carol Beach area. Worse yet, lake storms would do much more damage to the
shoreline with the extra water to throw.
There's virtually nothing that can be done to stop it. Homeowners who live near the water front must find
a solution. The two choices facing them are build a water wall to stop the destructive force of the waves or
move away from their homes. Neither choice is ideal.
Not everyone is concerned with the rising lake levels. utilities that operate hydroelectric dams on the
Great Lakes chain welcome the extra water. Commercial harbors welcome the extra water because a high
water level means less dredging.
In the final analysis, one must realize that living near the lake means living with the lake.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT RAISING
THE DRINKING AGE FROM 19 TO

21?

"First of all, raising the drinking
age is stupid. I'm responsible for
my actions and I should be allowed
to decide when I'm old enough for
a beer. Our society is unfair. It
tells us we must behave Jjke an
adult but it ·won't let us have the
privileces or the advantages,"

Celebrate Seventy-Five
Everyday something
momentous occurs. It is
his birthday, her twenty- ··
fifth year with the company, or their two week
anniversary. Occasions
like birthdays are not
thought of as anniversaries, but they are. In fact,
just about any logging of
time is an anniversary,
from twenty days after a
goldfish's funeral to twenty years of marriage.
As it is with every
year, 1986 was plagued with anniversaries. It was another
anniversary of Halley's comet, and the
Statue of Liberty
turned 100. Closer
to home, many clubs
and organizations
also celebrated anniversaries.
S.A.D.D. marked
its first year at Bradford, making this
chapter one of the
2,000 started in the
last three years
across the nation.
Academically, the creative writing team continued its pattern of excellence by winning a state
championship for a third
straight year. In addition,
seniors Dave Wohlgemuth, Steve Schwaiko,
and Rochelle Kehoe took
individual awards for their
work.
Also, DECA continued
its landmark success,
sending ten students to

national competition in
Atlanta, Georgia. This
marked the fifth consecutive year DECA has garnered such honors.
"It was a really great
feeling to go to nationals
two years in a row. I qualified last year as a junior.
When I qualified again this
year, it was even better. I

from succeeding in such a
high level of competi-

came before, 1986 was
made the best it could be.
Wait, It Gets Better!
wasn't just a cute phrase
put on the cover of a
book; it was the expression of a new, optimistic
feeling.
To celebrate this great
milestone, the SPY developed a host of mini-logos.
The main mini-theme was
Diamond Jubilee. Representing the seventyfour volumes before
this one, quotes
were taken from
several volumes aA<l
appeared consecutively on the division
pages. From the
1903 Kenosha History and Annual to the
1985 SPY, all periods
were presented.
The other minithemes, like This Is
It!, Making It Better
Now, and Looking
Better and Better
played off the words
of the main theme.
Each tried to represent its
section.
So, it was a better year
for all groups. A new positive spirit swept through
the student body and
spurred them on to success.
Milestones like the seventy-fifth anniversary of

One drawback of an open
lunch hour was the
concept of a noon hour
permit. It was the passcard
to freedom. However, it
was not just assumed that
every person who went out
had a permit. The
administration checked. If a
student did not have his
card with him, he did not
go out.

them to pull the fire drill. Because of their impractical joke, students
spent ten minutes in the warm spring sun. Class mixes with class as
students wait outside the faculty door for the all-clear bell to ring.
