it would be if all of the aspects of your everyday life were taken

frenzied days of cellular phonesand e-mail, its difficultto imagine a world

of total simplicity. If it weren’t for the last millennium, this planet may have turned out to be just that.
As young adults of the 21st century, it is easy for us to take for granted that the fabric of our
lives has been woven by the past. Do we all know that the

WL/d

styles of clothing that we wear and

the music that we listen to is not new? Everything is based on something that came before it. After

all, hair dryers and DVDsdon’t just inventthemselves! It’s also chaotic

how Coca Cola and Mickey

Mouse still remain household names, and Neil Armstrong lives on as the first man to walk on the
moon. It would be crazy

to find someone who has never heard a Beatles’ song or has yet to bite

into a McDonald’s burger. Babe Ruth and Michael Jordan stay legendary, while new athletes attempt
to surpass them. It all just goes to show that the events of the past inspire the future, and the present

this day. Jim Schwer, a biotechnology

freshman, and Tim Schwer, a communication freshman are real twins.
Jim and Tim both said that being a
twin was cool at first, but now it’s just
annoying. One advantage of having a
twin is always having someone to talk
to, they agreed. ”Another high point is
being able to fool people,” Tim said.
But of course there are negative
aspects of having a twin. ”Jim is
always hanging around me and has no
life of his own” said Tim. But accord—
ing to Jim, “Everything has to be done
together and he is always hanging
around me.” Twin
minds think alike!

(bottom) represent their
favorite eras.

Walking down the halls on
Thursday, October 14th, was
like falling down the steps
of time. Favorite Era Day
was a day when ITA students were encouraged to
dress like someone right out
of their favorite era.
Needless to say,the halls at
ITA were full of many cre—
ative "get-ups” such as hippies, eighties punkers and
nineteenth-century

people.

The main decadesrepresented were the sixties and
seventies.

Valerie Paluch, a

sophomore from the House
of Biotechnology, was

dressedin a long green and
white ■owered dress,which
she wore to show her appreciation

actually made the dress in
the sixties.
PenelopeStiles, a senior in
the house of
Communications, donned a
long Victorian dress that
belonged to her grandmoth—
er. Shechoseit because
“everyone else picks hippie

day, and I wanted to be different”.
Birdie McCord, a
Biotechnology junior was
dressed in the attire of an
eighteenth century Irish
farm girl, which she got
from her cousin. ”1 like it,

its part of my heritage," she
said.
Many ITA students participated in Favorite Era Day,
giving more meaning and
memories to school spirit

The freaks are lose. That
would have been the impression
anyone wandering the halls of ITA
this past October 13th. That’s if they
didn’t know that the students were
taking part in Spirit Week's Wacky
Hair Day. It was a day set aside
from the norm when students were
encouraged to devastate, glam, and
mangle their hair in the name of
school sprit.
For what ever the reason, lTA’s
students took to the idea with a passion. A great

example of this
craze was Mike
Hawes, a communication
sophomore,

who had an
:35 arrangement of

barrettes among

patchesof sprayed
on red hair ”Some
friends ambushed

me this morning,”
and were responsible
for the hair ’do.
Another

student,

Ron Davis, a fresh—
man in the House of

Biotechnology, wore
his hair in neon

green spikes “just to

be different.”

Senior, Tim Patrick.

Even the teachers

took part in the school spirit. David
Stutz, a teacher in the House of

Biotechnology, sprayed his hair a
multitude

of color to ”hide the bald

spot”. Wayne Jensen, a teacher in
the House of Biotechnology,
wore a

large floppy multicolored wig.

By the age of fifteen,
most teens are able to

Beforefocusing on the
largeaspirations, how—

smaller career goals.
Things like; ” I’m

to get a car” are running
through nearly every
teenager’s mind.
However,

some teens

enjoy their ”small jobs”
for more than the
money it makes.
Melissa Peters, a jun—

Somestudents enjoy
the fact that having a
job gives them a sense
of independence. “The
extra cash is nice
becauseyou don’t have
to rely on your parents
for money all the time,”
said Anna Zalaznik, a

”You have more freedom to do what you

Everybody knows
that the reason why
people go to
Hollywood is to see
the stars and, more
importantly,

the tal-

ent! So this was the
inspiration for Indian
Trail's second annual
talent show, A

Glimpse of
Hollywood, headed
up for the second

year in a row by Mrs.
Hartz.
As each member of
the audience entered,
it was as though they
were in Hollywood.
The halls of ITA were
transformed into a
walk of fame.
Through arches
made of balloons,
spectators observed
movie posters and
silhouettes of famous
celebrities. Everyone
was greeted with a
”Welcome to
HollyWood” and
“Enjoy the show!”
before they took
their seats. As the
crowd anticipated
what they were
going to see,the

show began.
The show opened
with a dazzling performance by ITA’s all
new dance squad.
Then the brilliant
kick line separated to
unveil this years
masters of the ceremony. Who were
they, you ask? None
other than the
Reddicks.
Antonita,

According to
Antonita,

”I thought

that it was really fun
and I got the chance
to be crazy and
weird on stage. I’m
glad that my brothers got to help me

Indian Trail Academy had two
teams that competed in the
Kenosha Area BusinessAlliance
(KABA) Skills Challenge. Twelve
high schools in Kenosha County
competed in this grueling battle-ofthe-brains.
The KABA Academic Skills
Challenge has two ares of competi—
tion; problem solving and rapid-fire
questions. The problem solving
round consists of the team being

faced with a problem regarding
teachers and students. The team
solved this problem and gave a
three—minutepresentation of their
solution. Following the problem
solving round, the team answered

difficult questions in two rapid-fire
rounds.
Indian Trail Academy’s teams did
quite well in competition. The
coaches,Ms. Satterfield and Mr.
Stutz., prepared and motivated the

teams to do their best. Team 1
ended up in fifth place over all,
while Team 2 advanced to the semi—
finals. They lost to St. Joseph’sby
only 50 points after all the rounds
of competition.

Bothof ITA’Steamsdid extremely

well this year, and the participants
and coachesare eagerly looking forward to next year’s competition.

next year.

The worst moment of the seasonfor Zach Pearson, was when a coach
told him he was too small to play soccer.
“The best moment of this seasonwas when I scored the game win—
ning penalty kick against Tremper,” said Pearson,a midfielder on the
Bradford varsity soccer team and a sophomore in
the House of Communications. His goal for
E’
the next seasonis to be team captain.

”The teamdid very well this season.

We won seven games and lost three,”

Tommy Hurst, a junior in the House of

junior varsity team. “It was a bit of a
rebuilding year for the team,” Hurst
said. All of the saves Hurst made this
year, were overshadowed with his
memory of diving the wrong way and
being scored on. ”My plans for next season?To play on varsity and
stay in contention

convenience,

saying

that

it was nice to have it close by and being able to
walk down for a class period.
Students in Jensen'sclass spent time around
the pond, which is only three feet deep at its
deepest point, identifying the plant and animal
life. When the weather permitted,
students
would complete outside labs, including
a

"Garlic Mustard Pole." The Garlic Mustard

plant,

which

is not native

to this area, is known

to take over the area where other vegetation
grows,

killing

native

plants.

The students

were

given gloves, bags, and received a lab grade for
pulling out this invader.
Another outside lab resulted in the identification of over 86 different plants and animals that
either lived near the pond or frequented the
area. For example, although the students saw
deer tracks, they have yet to seea deer.
The classalso spent time studying the mating
rituals of the toads that live near the pond.
Becausethe toads go to water to mate, students
were able to listen to the males mating calls and
even collect some eggs, which they released
back into the pond when they becametadpoles.
Jensen'sclassalso mapped the area around
the school, including the pond, using GPStechnology, a global positioning system.
At first, the students were understandably

squeamish about working outside in the dirt
and water. But they eventually came around.
"After a while they seemed to get into it and
enjoyed spending time outside," Jensensaid
If you aren't one of the lucky few who are in

Have you ever wondered what it

would be like to celebrate the deceased?
Well, the Chinese and Spanish cultures

do just that.
Indian Trail Spanish and Chinese
classes had a celebration of their own to

symbolize the event. Chinese students

built a giant tomb and Spanish students
createdtoy tombs as well as other ceremonial decorations. All of the classes
decorated two seminar rooms in the
House of Business.

In China, Tomb Sweeping Day is a
day where the Chinese culture gathers
to pay tribute to the deceased. April 5
is the day when giant feasts are pre-

Mrs“

pared and brought to the tombs. It also
includes chopping down all of the overgrown weeds, burning ’ghost money,’
and leaving the spirits their favorite
food at an altar table. Students recreated this by building a giant tomb, an
altar table, and posting

describing the day.
The Spanish students also recreated
the Spanish celebration,

When Karen Hartz was in fourth
grade she remembered thinking
that if her teacher did an activity
in a slightly different manner, she
might understand it better.
Then in high school she read Of
Mice andMen. The irony of its
ending and the ■ood of ideas and
emotions Steinbeck'spoetic language triggered in her left instilled
a feeling that literature was a Vital
tool in understanding the human

In many ways the celebrations are

She is an enthusiastic, caring, and
supportive teacherwho truly is
concernedabout her students’
future. Mrs. Hartz has been an

English teacher for 14 years.
She was in■uenced to teach at
Indian Trail Academy becauseof
the school”s philosophy that
stressedan integrated curriculum.
Mrs. Hartz said, ”After meeting
Mrs. Spenko I knew she was the
kind of leader who could make
the vision a reality.”
Mrs. Hartz is involved in a vari-

ety of school activities. Sheis the
advisor of Academic Decathlon,
leader of the Talent Show
Committee, heads the Interim
Committee, and is a member of
the Staff Development Committee.

Hartz is a proud mother of a

three-and-one-half

year old son

named Joewho enjoys playing

"dinosaurs" with mom.
Mrs. Hartz enjoys spending time
with her two best friends from college the most. No matter What
they do; they always end up "belly
laughing.”

As a mother,

she recognizes

that

ITA will have some growing pains.
”Birthing a school is an enormous
venture and not without its labor
pains. I believe we are doing the
work, which will one-day result in

the school we hope it to be,” she
said. ”The dedication and intelligenceof the teachershere make
this goal possible. If the school
board trusts our recommendations
and honors our desire and com—
mitment for excellence, Indian

Trail can one day be a model of
education in the state.”

The students are her favorite
part of teaching at Indian Trail
Academy. Her least favorite thing
is the lack of an auditorium, which
inhibits guest speakersand other
activities she hopes to seebecome
part of life at ITA.

“Hey, look at this!”
Just a piece of rock, nothing special.
”No, just look how many interesting

things you can discover about this small
rock.

First of all it could be ingeous,

mentary or metamorphic. Then it takes
lots of effort to decide whether it is granite
or limestone or may be something else..."
The teacher, who absolutely loves science, the teacher who loves Indian Trail
Academy and its students, and can’t live

anywhere else but Kenosha is Kathy
Franks, the science teacher in the House of
Business.
Although she was born and raised in

Kenosha, most of her childhood was spent
traveling. The landscapesof Northern
Wisconsin is what got her interested in

science. ”I love science,everything about
it. Scienceis interesting and lots of fun!”
she says.
Her interests

in science led her to UW-

Parkside, UW-Madison, and Louisiana
State University. After finishing college

she became a scienceteacher. She thought
that she could provide the same positive
experience for her students to learn more

about science. But during her first year of
teaching the provision of positive experi—
ence was not that easy. ”My

first year

teaching was overwhelming!” she said.
”It takes a lot of preparation to make
teaching look so easy.”
Two years ago Mrs. Franks received

invitation

an

to work in a new school, Indian

Trail Academy. She got really excited
about being part of a new school with the—
matic houses. She also wanted to move

back to Kenosha. ”I like being part of a
team. They give me a lot of strength to
improve my teaching.” Mrs. Franks says
that her idea of an ideal school is a place
where students are excited about learning

and want to try new things.

Mrs. Franks wishes that students would
make the most of the exciting opportuni-

ties to learn about sciencewhile they are
at ITA. It will pay off for them in the
future.

”Mr. Dondlinger hooked me up

This multimedia teacher said the
team teaching concept is the best
thing about ITA. ”I truly believe I’m
with the best team in the school,” he
said. His favorite thing about teaching multimedia is that students enjoy
the class. “It’s a hands—onexperience,” he said, ”Hopefully, they will
learn to work in teams.”

To many students,

Margery

Brutscher was exactly that. So imagine how hard it was for the students

who knew her to say good—bye when

she moved to Minnesota at the end

of first quarter.
”I was sad, but then again, she left

admire her for doing what she felt

said Anna Zalaznik,

a

communication junior. ”She was a
great teacher. Sherocked!”

with respect and teach them not
only in the classroom, but

about life too." she said.
Brutscher, who used to
play school in her basement

while growing up, said she

wanted to be a teacher
since she was about five or
six years old. However, she
didn’t fully realize her call-

ing to be a teacher until her

second year of college, when

she switched her major to
Technology Education with a
concentration
on communication

and a specialization in Training and

Resource Development

at

the University of Wisconsin-Stout.
Brutscher enjoyed her years at the
University

of Wisconsin-Stout.

Two

of her favorite college experiences
were being in all—maleclasseswhere

she was treated like a little sister and

being a resident adviser. “College
really opened me up," she said.

However, Brutscher didn’t enjoy
high school as much as she would
have liked. “High school was not
my favorite. Maybe that is why I
teach the way that I do. I want kids
to enjoy high school and not look
back on it like I do and not have
many fond memories.”
Teachinghas always been a high
priority for Brutscher. "The kids are
the best part of being a teacher.”
But, her family means the most to
her. She hadn’t fully realized it,
however,

until

the ITA orientation.

”It was a life defining moment for
me, becausewhen Ms. Spenko intro—
duced me, she said that I was most

proud of being a mom. It made me
realize that teaching was not my
number one priority. It took me a lot
of wandering around aimlessly
before it finally hit me that family
was high on my list of values. After
that, my life and my teaching
changed a lot.”

are the top priorities on Emily
Sikora’s list.
A freshman in the House of
Business,Emily came to Indian
Trail Academy from McKinley
Middle School in searchof a better
way to learn and also to meet new
people. Sheenjoys seeing her
friends everyday at school but also
enjoys hanging out and going to
the movies and the mall.
”They’re fun to be with, interest—

ing, and smart,” Emily said. "My
favorite thing to do is just hang out
with my friends.”
One of the ways Emily keeps herself busy is by playing tennis for
Bradford High School. Sheplayed
doubles on the junior varsity team
last year, ending the seasonwith a
winning record of 9-6. ”I’m going
to play next year becauseit was
really fun and I met a lot of nice
people,” Emily said.

Emily also cheered for Bradford
varsity basketball games. ”Squads
sometimes fight and that isn’t
good,” Emily said. “Our squad got
along very well and we all became
friends.”
Emily’s extensive cheerleading
experiencebegan on a CYC Raiders
squad. Her team attended numer—

ous competions across the country,

winning almost all of them. She
quit Raiders after six years to spend
more time with her friends and on

her schoolwork.

Gymnastics also played a part in
Emily’s extracurricular-experiences.
Shestarted gymnastics training
when she was two-years old and
continued it until she was 13.
Her athletic ability has made
Emily a strong member of ITA’s
first dance team. It gives her

also focus on education. Sheworks
hard to get good grades. Her
favorite classis World Civilizations
with Mr. Lyons. “Its easy and fun,”
Emily said. Mr. Manning is her
favorite teacherbecausehe is nice
to her and lets her have her fun in
his class.
Emily credits her parents for
guiding her along the way. “My
family is very helpful and I have a
lot of fun with them," Emily said.
Shehas a closerelationship with
her 11 year old sister,but Emily

most sisters do.
Emily met many new people and

Rochelle Sermettfound herself
in the the midst of an extraordi-

nary struggle this year. She was
diagnosed with cancer in
December of 1999and fought a
battle for seven months.
Ms. Sennett passed away
Thursday, July 20, in her home
in Greenfield. Her presence in
the Art Studio was sorely
missed during the last half of
the school year.

“She was one of the teachers
who fiercely supported our
school from its Opening,” wrote
Mrs. Spenko in a letter to Indian
Trail Academy teachersand
staff members in July.

Sennett designed three courses for the House of
Communications and taught art
and humanities.

But, the in■u-

ence her teaching, creativity and
friendship had on our lives is
immeasurable and will continue
to live through a scholarship
fund she helped establish prior
to her death.

Through her we learned
respect for all who are forced
into unexpected battles.
When the time comes, may

we all fight so courageously.

Remind- A FictionalNarrative
By

Jack Johnson and John Jackson, two road-kill clean-up

workers, drove for hours, listening to classicrock music
from the 1980’sas they peered out of the murky win—
dows of their truck, looking for another unfortunate animal that met an automobile in an awful way.
”Hey J.J.,”Jack said pointing to another limp creature
on the side of the road.
”I see it I.].," John said, unbuckling

his seat belt, “but

what is it? A crow, or a goose, or what?”

”I think its a-uh-bird,”

].]. said.

”Well yeah, I figured that,” ].]. said.
The truck slowed down, and the two of them excited,

one with a shovel, went to scoop up the dead bird. The
other went to the back of the vehicle to open the bed of
the truck for easier loading of the lifeless animal.
].]. could not help but be entranced by this lifeless
black bird.
”You know,” ].]. said, ”I heard once that crows mated

for life.”

”Oh yeah?” I.]. responded.
”Yeah,”

I]. replied,

”I think

5mm

that he was accustomed to, although, he was well

acquainted with this smell.
“Hey ].].,” was the sound coming from the back of the

truck,

“No

offense or anything,

but how long has it been

since your wife died?"

”It's been two years and four months,” he replied.

”Wow - I mean -” ].]. said trying not to upset his

friend,

“That's

an awful

long time.”

”Yeah, very awful,” he said holding back the pain.

As ].]. slid the crow off the shovel, it was as if the
shovel was heavier without the crow. It reminded L]. of
the times in his life when his wife was still alive, and
how light everything felt.
As I]. finished unloading the dead creature into the
truck, and was about to load himself

back into the truck

he heard a loud screech‘

The sound brought back the memory of the last day
his wife was alive. The tires fighting the momentum of
the car reminded him of the tragic accident that took his
wife from him.

I heard it on the Discovery

Channel or something.”
].]. held the creature in the shovel for a minute, staring
at its eyes.
”Hey 1.1.,” Jack said, ”Do you know what color a

crow’s eyes are?”

After a moments pause, ].I. answered, ”I have no idea.

I’d figured that they'd be black like the rest of it is. Why
do you ask?”
"Oh, it just looked like its eyesare purple,” he said.
As H. walked the animal to the back of the truck he

could smell the animal. It was not the smell of death

Then he felt it. The car, the tires squealing,

the driver

panicking, metal crumpling, glass shattering. J]. was

torn away from everything, breaking multiple bones and

damaging multiple organs.
I]. fell to the ground as a crumpled mass, in the same
position as the crow he just shoveled off the ground not
five minutes before his own death.

1.]. ran over to the body trying to help, but every effort
failed. He looked into ].].’s eyes to see if there was any
response. He saw a glint of purple in ].].’s otherwise
green eyes, and a smile slid onto his face.

Everyone’s greatest fear is being left alone.
Well, that’s something

you’ll

never have to worry

about.

Is it being lonely that has everyone so worried?
These are the things that have a tendency to causedoubt.
Now is it my love for you, or my fear of desolation,
That won’t allow me to let go of you?
I guess I am no different

than anyone else in that respect,

And I know you feel the sameway too.
But is it right to hold on to eachother becauseof this
paralyzing fear?
Of the scrutinizing

solitude

we are all destined

for,

A temporary solution for the soon to be now and here.
Because absolutely

nothing

lasts forever,

And as much as we would love for everything to start over
agam,
For us to have one more shot at eternity,

The harsh reality is that inevitability eventually steps in.

If it has yet to happen then why is it something we are
concerned with?
Is it becauseof the slight contingency,the mere possibility,
That we could be left alone to deal with our own problems and
alienation?
The imprisonment of our own selvesnever to be set free.
So this is possibility enough to push anybody who means
anything away.
For some people it’s the only way they seem to avoid the pain.
But what is joy without pain?
How can we recognize one without the other?
Never allowing yourself to love or be loved.
What is sunshine without rain?
50 break down those walls and let someone into your heart.
Don’t be afraid to return the love that they’re showing,
And let them stay as long as they wish.

Just live.

I promise you’ll never have to worry about being alone.

Whether

the sun shines or not,

blows

The day goes on.
The day goes on.

Whether love exists or not,
Whether

life survives

The day goes on.
or not,

The day goes on.

The day goes on to know that it was worth something,
And will always be remembered somehow.

The day will never change into the next,
Or die.
Yet it shall live forever and though

history

may place it further

It will

always be there.

Maze

Km/rfr

Life is a maze of thorns and thistles.
It's filled

with agony,

And just when you think the maze is going to end,

You come across another long stretch of pain.
Decadespass and you still can’t get out,
By now you’re covered in bruises and cuts.
Others from the opposite side of the maze,
Are laughing and carrying on.

Screaming

for help,

But there’s no answer.

You grow

weary

from walking,

There's a point 0an return.
Pricked one more time by the thorns,
You drop to the ground.
Your body is lying there,
Still in the maze.
Then in an instant it's gone.

It Starts With an Idea
In 1919, an innovative young man named
Joe Johnson had an idea for a new kind of
wrench, consisting

of sockets that could

“snap on” to various handles. His employ—
i
er rejected the idea —-as can happen with

‘ ‘1innovative concepts.
:5

.

.

‘3 Determined to turn his idea into reality,

Joe and a co-worker set off on their own
.
»
and started a business to make wrenches with interchangeable sockets
and sell them to mechanics. The new idea caught on, the two moved to
Kenosha and, with a lot of hard work, the company

grew.

Today, Snap-on is known around the world for its array of quality hand
tools, power tools, diagnostics,

software,

shop

equipment and tool storage products for the
professional automotive technician and other
customers.
Snap—onencourages you to pay attention to

your dreams.Act on them. You and your ideas
can make a difference. Congratulations to the
Class of 2000!
“That is the principal thing —not to remain with the dream,
with the intention, but always to convert it into all things. ”
