Blue Boogies on Baek
September blazes across Wisconsin in russet, gold and crimson,
but September was "Back in Blue"
for every Tremperite. Being back
registered impressions of blue and
red Commons chairs full of sleepyeyed zombies grieving over the
disappearance of late arrival or
savoring the juicy gossip of an early
morning scoop. Boogieing bluejeans,
the post-test blues and burning
rubber out of Anderson parking lot
bounced back into the daily routine.
These impressions reminded many
of the fact that the "layed back"
style of summer had settled.
Sun had paced the summer.
Flinging frisbees in the pebbled
sands of Silver Lake and just "laying
out" hoping to "catch" some rays
topped class any day of the week.
For others, all day outings at
Marriot's surviving the "Eagle" or
drenching down to the sneakers on
the "Logger's Run" had strengthened close friendships and spurred
new ones. Yet, the return of blue
Mondays in Economics dimmed
summer's friend-filled hours and
awakened the sensation of being in
with the old crowd. Bonding ties that
had lagged somewhat during the
break overshadowed the drone of
homework assignments only for the

first few days back.
The Key Club Christmas and
Student Congress "If You Got It,
Give It!" drives were once again
generously "backed" by students
and faculty as well as community
supporters. In the food drive, a final
three day surge by Mr. Tuttle's
second hour Physics I sealed them
a strong second place behind Miss
Behling's T.V. Production crew.
Their efforts also earned an extremely simplified version of their
chapter seven "Phases of Matter"
test. Tackling the national record
once more also tested Student
Congress. After 6 months of
scheduling recruits and contacting
food sponsors, the drive tapped a
continous flow of donors to tally a
389 pint one day national record.
Kenosha's Red Cross was back in
the red for the blood bank.
"Buck night" at the Cinemas 5
returned in the fall, bringing with it
the year's most talked about movies.
The zebra team of Nick Nolte and
Eddie Murphy crashed Commons
conversations for more than "48
hrs." "The Verdict," "Ghandi" and
"Sophie's Choice" probed social
values and were labeled adult films
that commanded deep thought.
Although many snatched up

Tuesday night's bargain, the home
video craze stepped in, replacing the
bucket of hot buttered popcorn and
a cozy corner near the back of the
theatre. The $4 barrier of movies
furthered the appeal of VCR
cassettes available for $2.50 rental.
Occasionaly, some movie "buffs"
even threw porno parties to view the
"forbidden" and to be among those
few who could honestly boast about
having seen a genuine "skin flick."
The "now" scene of Friday
night dances resurrected the "old
but good" sounds of the Doors,
Rolling Stones, Beatles, and the
Kinks. Classic rock rolled the time
away for bus loads of cross country,
volleyball and baseball players
heading up to Milwaukee or Racine.
This comeback rock saturated New
Voice systems, and the "all-out"
threads of Friday frenzy applauded
the zany antics of "Fast Times at
Ridgemont High."
Back with old friends. Back for
club committments. Back to books.
Back at Friday flings. Back for good
times. "Back in Blue." As being
back faded into the blue of winter,
the search for a personal niche
engulfed spring. June's warmth
rewarded those who struggled
"Back in Blue."

''In'' Exits Iueoguito
Disguised within "Back in
Blue," "in" leaps to the forefront of
films, fitness, finances, fashions,
Fridays and even friends. As the
most sought after preposition in the
English language, "in" is never being
left out of Monday night skiing at
Wilmot or spur of the moment "skip
day" picnics at Pets.
Besides leaving only 24 letters
in the alphabet because "E.T." went
home, movies infiltrated students'
lives. Inspired by "An Officer and a
Gentleman's" national sweep, slow
dancing to "Up Where We Belong"
or taking a moonlit stroll along
Simmon' s Beach rekindled romantic
interludes.
"Way Down Yonder" amour
blossomed in March, and garters tied
up "belles' " admiring gazes. With
lipstick hearts on 29 bare chested
"Cajun Cuties," the guys kickline in
drag dazzled like Dustin Hoffman's
"Tootsie."
Daniel J. Travanti, too, has
stolen the locals' hearts. Kenosha's
home town boy has "cashed in" on
Thursday's prime time. Travanti has
accredited his roots through actual

graduation footage in "Hill Street
Blues," as well as his appearance
in the district's slide presentation
advocating student activities.
Post-dance munch attacks at
Mac's, midnight pizzas from Jerry's
or a heaping banana split from the
Spot all resulted in mass hysteria
over gaining an ounce. Insatiable
hunger led to increased bulk which
inevitably instilled the urge to work
out.
Infinite repetions of curls at the
Body Shop and running the pool
balcony not only released frustrations, but also shed the pounds.
Indulgence has evaporated into the
past. Kenosha's brief rendezevouz
with AMC/Renault's "Car of the
Year" capped an Alliance that
temporarily rolled in the bucks. Still
the city's schools evidenced cutbacks. Like those little things, a
single paper towel cleansed Ann
Althoff and Cheryl Baetz's fashion
pig Myrtle in Advanced Biology,
while ironically the pool's heater, left
on all weekend, bathed swimmers
with 98 degree water.

In another twist, reelin' across
the dance floor instead of rockin'
implied intoxication. Investigation by
Mr. Kranen led to instant suspension. With a "Hey Bud, Let's Party"
attitude, student concerns were
more dominated by the state wide
undertaking to increase the legal
drinking age.
That same "go for broke"
attitude instigated the theft of the
New Voice stereo, the possession of
the Who or Kinks tickets and even
the purchase of a "perfect 10" list
from the junior class's computer
dating service.
Intellectual or social butterfly,
the "in" crowd stretches its identity
to encompass each circle within the
school's faces. At the same time, the
most incognito word in itself is the
word in, disguised as so many words
that signal acceptance to high school
people. Interesting, influence, inquisitive, intoxication, indulge and most
assuredly, insane and incredible
raced from Monday to Friday
through classes and conversation.
"In" for 1983 was "Back in Blue."

Blue Tints Identity
Come June, that it's all over
hits every senior right out of the
blue. Yet, a glimpse over the
shoulder refreshes those "Back in
Blue" feelings of September and
stretches the blue into all the
Mondays, moods, music, and
memories of the year 1982-83.
Connotations of the word blue
deepened as the year went on. With
a half-finished term paper in one
hand and a can of caffeine-filled pop
in the other, students staggered into
school at 7:30 unprepared for the
average "Blue Monday." Never was
blue a more appropriate color than
to ink a 4:30 a.m. paper that
perpetually stared back blank. Being
blue could only start each week, but
by Friday, expectations of the Blue
Moon, paychecks and a little Blue
Nun stirred the wanderlust not only
in the "senior women," but also the
"real men."
Students on edge for the week's
"epitomy" twisted at the Friday
night dances. Stepping into the gym,
the faded bluejean and sweatshirt
clad student strolled into the
"Twilight Zone" only to hear "Blue

Suede Shoes" blasting out nostalgia.
As the lake became more and
more a part of late dates, couples
took advantage of the midnight blue
sky to overcome their shyness. Even
in late November, the Dunes,
between Caroll Beach and Southport, coaxed students bundled in
winter coats and blankets to the
"last" bonfire. Going off the deep
end at Southport Beach, fifteen
seniors even danced in the rain.
In contrast, the "shut-in
scholars" hit the books on the
weekend, but raked in the A's at
semester. The pressure of the 6.0
grade system cast some light on
cheating and rippled through Mr.
Tuttle's Physics classes. A faculty
committee later defined cheating
and recommended guidelines for
discipline.
Due to 68 ° thermostatic control, the blue coldness of an actual
55 ° compelled Pam Fraher to stash
her baby blue blanket in Mr.
Duesterbeck's class. Many other
classrooms, victims of the "heating"
system, shared similar frigid spells.
Yet, the winter's chill still did not

inhibit the people in detention from
crowding to the smoking area at the
break. The addition of Saturday
morning detention after March 1,
further cramped the style of rule
breakers who had been "cracked"
by Mr. Kranen.
Fading to the lighter side of the
blue, Brewer fever hit Tremper with
a smash. Buttons, jerseys, hats,
stickers and posters rampaged in the
halls and the Student Activities
office. The True Blue Brew Crew
came through with a win in the
play-offs and a second in the World
Series. "It really doesn't matter"
greeted the Milwaukee return and
cemented the "Go for the Blue"
slogan in the backs of minds.
Distinct from rival Bradford, the
color blue individualized porn-pons,
garbage cans, sports uniforms and
state championship banners. Unknowingly, the Trojan identity
smacked the student body with blue.
"Back" from out of the blue,
into the "incredible" social and
academic !ife at school, Tremperites
inevitably did their own thing and
reveled about being "Back in Blue."

8 Student Life

Student Life
Defining distinct identities, the
seniors of '83 touched off the
happenings and embraced the leader's
roles to punctuate an untraditional
year. Sameness was annhilated by the
cast party in a barn after the
"Children's Play," "Barefoot and
Bluejeans" at the CLASSIC dance
rather than Sadie Hawkins and the
entire production crew's bravo for Mr.
Perkin's finesse with the Feaste.
In the hustle of an early
Homecoming, candidates and campaign managers met and countered
the new rules. Memories of an
"Endless Summer" with stolen sand
and pink flamingos surfaced, along
with skits ranging from the "Great
White North" to "Andy Griffith."
"Hey Jude's" void was fiddled
closed as the "Devil Went Down to
Georgia." The urge "to make it
better" also bared the Blues Brothers,
Zorro and Letterman "Way Down
Yonder." Then too soon, Prom's
"Mystical Moments" quickly faded to
Senior Banquet. "Only the Beginning"
debuted straw hats, vogue dresses and
similarly sophisticated "adults."
Term papers, college deadlines
and scholarship essays collided with
Powder Puff, Last Fling and Honors
Convocation. Yet, the realization of
escaping Mr. Lawler's term papers,
Mr. Thomas' probing disections and
Ms. Krause's journal reviews violated
what had become the last three years'
routine. Graduation, in a blue sea of
robes and tassels, was steeped in
personal achievements and memories
of being "Back in Blue."

'A Cut Above' Slices Into Summer
"I quickly glanced through my
yearbook. Reminiscing page
after page revived many of my
best memories of the past year,"
commented Leslie Montemurro
as she reflected on the 1982
CLASSIC. Just as students
glanced toward the fall of a new
school year, the CLASSIC dance
quickly diverted thoughts to
events that had become cherished memories.
"Cutbacks, Cutups, A Cut
Above" debuted on August 20,
with the distribution of yearbooks
initiating at 6:00 p.m. The
ceiling-high stacks of yearbooks
were distributed from the
cafeteria lunch line by Classic
staff members, who were elated
with the satisfaction of seeing
1. Engrossed In thought, junior Tom
Bertog and graduate Juan Macias endow
friends' yearbooks with "words of
wisdom."

10 Classic Dance

their work in print.
Anxiously chattering groups of
reunited friends congregated in
the cafeteria to relax and mull
over the past year. Paging
through "A Cut Above," many
spotted photos of familiar faces
and laughingly recalled the
pictured scenes, which pinpointed and highlighted the
1981-82 school year. Pens
scribbled "Best Wishes," "Good
Luck" and "Friends Always" as
yearbooks passed from hand to
hand leaving behind treasured
signatures, each one representing fond moments of an unforgettable friendship.
With pages full of cramped
autographs, stacks of "A Cut
Above" were piled on Commons'

tables or were transported to
cars for safe keeping. At 9 p. m.,
the reassembled "gang" then
dispersed from the cafeteria and
headed toward the gym to enjoy
a "sock" hop in the true sense
of the word. Students were
required to remove their shoes
before entering the gym, which
had been recently waxed. However, about half an hour separated reluctant dancers from the
beat. Finally, patience wearing
thin with anticipation, the resistance subsided, and the shoeless
crowd filtered in to the gym.
WRKR DJ Rick Conway
cranked out tunes ranging from
Chicago's "Hard To Say I'm
Sorry" to Rick Springfield's
"What Kind of Fool am I?" as

couples danced among scattered
circles of reminiscing friends.
During "keep in touch" farewells, college bound alumni
sketched out their fall schedules
for one another as they exchanged future addresses and
phone numbers.
11 p.m. crept near, and
yearbooks as well as shoes were
gathered up as the Commons
and gym emptied. "We decided
to get together after the dance.
Laughing over last year's adventures goes perfect with pizza at
Carl's," concluded Margaret
Gohlke.
The Class of '82 was recorded
in print; "A Cut Above" etched
a tribute to the contributions and
accomplishments of 1982.

Tech Rally Electrifies 'Trojan'
Although Homecoming '82
was scheduled three weeks
earlier than usual, the shortened
time of preparation did not
diminish the celebration.
As the days flew by, the
Commons, auditorium and gym
took on a festive air. The ten
candidates nominated by the
senior class for Homecoming
Queen were Cindy Beardsley,
Adell Frye, Liz Gosch, Michelle
McKinley, Leslie Montemurro,
Brenda Ricard, Pam Rizzo, Jenn
Smestad, Kelley Smith and Beth
Wojtak. For the first time ,
campaign managers introduced
the ten girls to the student body
at a 2A-2B assembly. Each
candidate's campaign manager
presented a short skit intended
to influence and also to entertain
the voters. Everyone from Buckwheat to the Blues Brothers
showed up to convince the
audience of each girl's outstanding qualities.
Spirit Week lured students
from the cafeteria to the Commons to participate in or just to
watch the zany antics. Pass the

Orange, Licorice Chew, Musical
Guys and Tug of War pitted the
sophomores, juniors and seniors
against each other. As usual, it
was mid-week before the reluctant sophomores came to life.
However, tradition prevailed as
the seniors won, the juniors
placed second, and the sophomores faltered to last place.
The coronation of the queen
on Friday, September 24,
culminated the Spirit Week
activities. In anticipation that
"Tremper Trojans are Technically the best," the crowd
welcomed the cheerleaders and
football team to the coronation
with thunderous applause. Prior
to the introduction of the team,
the Band of the Blackwatch
Colorguard had executed their
50-yard line drill to the national
anthem. Their precision added to
the event. The 1981 Queen
Vicki Weinfurter and Trojan Rick
Morovits recalled fond memories
as once again they promenaded
to the podium, were saluted by
the Colorguard and were accompanied by the familiar music

of the Symphonic Band. Many
remembered this special moment
from a year ago .
Proudly, the 1982 Trojan
Chuck Seefeldt strutted across
the floor, as the over anxious
spectators boisterously responded. Silence swept over the crowd
as the spotlight revealed the
candidates and their escorts
nervously waiting to parade
through the Colorguard salute.
Excitement hung in the air as
everyone strained to see a
favorite . Crownbearer Andy
Jarvey and Flowerbearer Rachel
Stallings symbolized homecomings of the future . Setting the
mood, the A Capella choir sang
the traditional Alma Mater. MC's
Patrice Ewald, Jackie Valeri and
Rachel Lepp captivated attention as they announced that
Jennifer Smestad was the new
homecoming queen for 1982.
With roses in her arms and tears
welling in her eyes, she expressed her sentiments saying,
"This is more than an honor - it's
a dream come true."
Later that night, the Home-

coming spirit continued at a pep
rally held in the courtyard.
Despite the misting weather, a
surprising amount of loyal fans
turned out to support their team.
A pinata in the form of a Tech
player was flailed by the queen
candidates to shower hard candy
on the fans . The Trojanettes,
along with alumni, performed the
traditional routine to "Barbara
Ann'.' Kip DesArmo was named
"Big Brute" by the senior class.
"Big Brute" is awarded annually
to the senior football member
that is most respected and
valued. The cheerleaders and
pep band fired up the energetic
crowd for victory.
The afterburn dance and pizza
party concluded the exciting
day. Some defiant seniors appeared in homemade togas,
sporting "Smurf" or "Snoopy"
sheets. New Voice Radio supplied the background music for
students who eagerly began to
look to tomorrow, and a victory
over Tech.

'Haze' Penetrates To Trojan Defeat
Four weeks before Homecoming, students hurriedly attempted
to splash on paint, paste on
crepe paper and gather eager
students to complete one of five
floats or three banners. The
senior class evidenced the time
loss by creating a "kleenexed"
style Hawaiian luau.
As time crept closer to the
kickoff of the parade, "Trojans
Are Tech-nically Best," the
atmosphere was festive in spite
of overcast skies that created a
bleak haze. Noon struck, and the
parade was led by the Sub Deb
clowns followed by the triumphant sound of the Band of the
Black Watch. Homecoming
Queen Jean Smestead and her
court, the cheerleaders and
Trojanettes and the club floats
and banners proclaimed Trojan
spirit. An added feature was the
"Death Mobile" appearance.
Covered by painted slogans, this
grafitti car lashed out at Tech.
Thundering splashes of water
balloons thrown by "shopping
bag" hoodlums at the junior class
float proved that the Class of '83
will rule. As the parade goers
converged toward Anderson
Field, the Trojan football team
took to the turf.
Scattered clusters of crowds
trudged in to fill the stands as a
light mist showered down. "B.
T.'s" red and blue pompons with
eyes were sold to help cheer on

14 Homecoming

the Trojans. After the "Star
Spangled Banner," the fans, with
stamping feet, viciously pounded
out their support for the "true"
Trojans to surpass the purple
"haze" from Milwaukee Tech.
Midway through the first
quarter, Tremper with a third
down and long from their own
ten yard line, quarterback Rich
Sniatynski called an option.
Stepping up to the line, Sniatynski rolled out to the right gaining
eight yards. However, Tech
defenders forced Sniatynski to
lateral back to Scott Quilling who
outran the Tech backs for an 82
yard touchdown. Keith Richter's
kick into the brisk north wind
was wide, and Tremper settled
for a 6-0 lead.
At this point the game converted to a defensive struggle.
Yet with good field position by
Tech, Tremper constantly had
their backs to the walls while
four Tech series came within 30
yards of the goal line. Each time
outstanding defensive plays by
Kip DesArmo, Tim Ausse, and
Jeff Stanich halted Tech. Attempted field goals by Tech
failed by curving wide. ihus, the
halftime score tallied a 6-0 lead
by Tremper.
Upon the conclusion of the
first half the Band of the Black
Watch performed. Led by Drum
Major Chris Skowronski, the
Black Watch executed four

musical arrangements from
"Kaska" to "Twilight Tone."
As the band concluded, the
Homecoming candidates ventured to the infield to be
announced. Immediately following, the results from the float and
banner competition were broadcasted. Capturing top honors in
the float contention was Key
Club; Latin Club swept first
place in the banner competition.
The second half remained a
defensive struggle to within
twelve minutes of the game.
Tech drove down to the
Tremper 29 yard line. Quarterback Tim Kehoe took the snap,
and after two exchanges, Kehoe
passed to James Wilson over the
middle for a Tech touchdown.
Placekicker Jim Goerecki booted
the ball to a 7-6 Tech lead.
After two Tremper offensive
series failed, a Trojan drive
mounted with a 28 yard pass
from Sniatynski to wide receiver
Mike Heyden. On third down
from the 23, Sniatynski passed
up the middle to wide receiver
Doug
Bierzychudek.
Bierzychudek appeared wide open
until James Wilson of Tech
leaped in front of Bierzychudek's
outstretched hands and intercepted the ball.
Regaining possession with
1 :53 left in the game, the
Tremper offense again made a
desperate attempt at a last

chance touchdown . Third down
and nine Sniatynski rolled out
and passed, but Jim Wierzelewski of Tech stepped in front of
Heyden, halting Tremper's
hopes for a victory. The final
score ended in a 7-6 loss.
Fans left disappointed, yet
anticipated the night to come.
After dining at Kenosha's "hot
spots" of Dage Thomsen, Hob
Nob, and Ray Radigan 's, couples
in three-pieced suits and frilly
dresses strolled into the Commons. Decorated with yellow,
orange, red, and white crepe
paper, a festive setting, featuring
fluorescent showcases to red
carnations, marked the Commons.
Maple trees interluded with
park benches transformed the
auditorium hall into a wooded
parkway. The gym resembled a
moonlit setting as strings of stars
were spotlighted by the multicolored spectrum of band stage
lights. Sounds from "Shimmers"
captivated unusual numbers of
dancing couples.
While the music echoed in the
minds of the couples completing
a day of pagentry, pride and
togetherness, the doors closed to
end another Homecoming. The
dreary day and the desperate
attempts by the Trojans to
overcome a one point deficit
reinforced that resilient students
were "Back In Blue".

16 Madrigal Feast

•

Yuletide Revels lil Renaissance Feast
Frantically waving and clapping, jesters mimed to the guests
that seating had begun . With its
opening flurry of mime, the
eighth annual "Ye Olde Englishe
Christmasse Feaste" traditionally graced the Elks Club ballroom,
Friday, December 10, through
Monday, December 13, from
7:30 to 10:30 p.m.
Elaborately costumed for his
role as Steward of the House,
Mr. Terry Lawler escorted the
audience through spoken images
to the Renaissance period .
Madrigal Singer Heidi Frederick
commented, "Waiting outside
the two large doors, we were
stirred by the rumble of muffled
conversation. When we heard
the last line of Mr. Lawler's
speech, our cue, the excitement
peaked. All we hear is 'Singers,
tide ye to the hall!" but that's all
it takes.
The Madrigal Singers entertained as the noble "Lordes"
and "Ladyes" of the feast .
Singers were attired in elegant
Renaissance dress of velvet and
satin, accented with strings of
pearls and gemmed necklaces.
Shortly after the processional
of the singers, the pages and
wenches served wassail, a spicy

Old English drink . The Madrigal
Singers toasted the evening on
the right note with the "Gloucestershire Wassail," featuring
soloists Mike Stebbins, Carolyn
Jones, Steve Stevens, Penny
Zievers and Gabe Kluka.
With noble fanfares, brass and
krummhorn musicians heralded
the events and grandized the
serving of the meal. In the first
courses were salad, smoked
trout, a hearty beef barley soup
and round madrigal bread
loaves.
As guests were savoring these
first portions, the Madrigal
Singers colored the dining with
mac1rigal songs chosen from
French, Italian, Flemish, Germany and English repertoire . The
interpretations spanned themes
of burning love in "Fire, Fire My
Heart," to the mournful "Weep,
0 Mine Eyes." Mike Stebbins,
Scott Gallo and Jim Molinaro
lamented unrequitted love in·" A
Robyn, Gentile Robyn."
The "Boar's Head Carol,"
featuring soloist Scott Gallo,
revered the seventeenth century
board and hailed the main
courses. Roast beef, green beans
with slivered almonds, Cornish
game hen and sweet candied

yams were served in lavish
portions.
Jesters and jugglers mingled
to amuse with brief entertainments. A circle of jugglers
intently executed a complicated
routine, or a jester comically
shined the bald head of a guest.
Recorder and string musicians
also enhanced the relaxing
dinner atmosphere.
Gracefully, the tumblers twisted and spiraled agile bodies.
Guests seated in the center aisle
were especially observant, fearfully anticipating accidental stray
of the acrobats. To defend the
honorable code of chivlary, the
fencers then skillfully maneuvered their foils and awed or
amused the crowd.
As guests relished the remaining grapes of their fruit and
cheese platters, the singers
unveiled Christmas music of
diverse cultures and styles. The
traditional "Twelve Days of
Christmas" closed the set with
the mime of jovial jesters.
At the meal's finale, pages
and wenches followed Lord of
Viands Ron Slaght, offering the
flaming plum pudding.
Mr. Perkins, first year choral
director and feast coordinator

confessed, "Tremper's Christmas
feast is more elaborate, more
detaiied than most other high
school and college madrigal feast
productions. At every moment in
the feast there is some sort of
entertainment going on. Each of
the over 180 students and
faculty members devotes substantial time to its success."
When the pudding had cooled
and the guests had cleaned their
plates, the Steward of the House
narrated the jester's mime of the
"The First Christmas." The
Madrigal Singers emoted the
drama with the subdued "O
Come, 0 Come Emmanuel."
Traditional Christmas carols,
"Joy To The World," "O Come
All Ye Faithful" and "Silent
Night," were sung with the
guests and entire cast of the
production.
"I loved every minute of it,"
expressed Penny Zievers, Madrigal Singer. "I came away with
the satisfaction of knowing I had
been an active giver of Christmas
joy. When people say that this
feast gets them into the Christmas spirit year after year, you
know you've done something
worthwhile.''

18 Sub Deb Formal

Temps Melt 'Crystal Night'

1. Greeted by the spiral pillars of the
Eagles' Club Ballroom, Scott Smet and
Patti White prepare to enter the
celebration within.

As winter approached, anticipations for the annual winter
formal rose like the unseasonalbly warm temperatures which
ranged through the SO's. Sponsored by the all girls club for
which the Sub Deb Formal is
named, it had usually been a
post-Christmas event. However,
this year the traditional "girlask-guy" winter formal was
scheduled on December 18, thus
leaving less time for the girls to
seek out their ideal dates.
Trips to Chicago and Milwaukee were made in search of the
perfect dress or suit. Orders for
matching corsages and boutonnieres and last minute confirmations of dinner reservations
proved to the girls that it was not
easy after all. Meanwhile, Christmas shopping was set aside, and
hopes for a perfect evening rose.

"I think our eagerness for the
formal made us more excited for
the holidays," commented Katy
Girman.
As the special evening arrived,
traditions began to take over.
Endless pictures were taken in
front of the Christmas tree by
excited parents insisting on "just
one more." The evening's dusk
christened the night with arrivals
at area supper clubs. Elegant
dinners at such restaurants as
the Landmark, Normande and
the Corner House promised only
the beginning of a night to
remember.
However, the couples' arrival
at the Eagle's Ballroom highlighted the evening. What the
temperature outside lacked in
complementing the theme, "A
Crystal Night,'' the glittery
splendor inside made up for.

Blue stars lettered with the
couples' names ornamented the
gaily decorated Christmas trees
that lined the ballroom. Heavenly angels centered the many
tables where couples could relish
a cool drink or just take a break
from the excitement on the
dance floor.
The atmosphere was heightened by the popular music
supplied by Chant. Recent hits
like the Rolling Stones' "Start
Me Up" rocked the ballroom
while "oldies but goodies" such
as Elvis' "Love Me Tender"
soothed couples as they danced
the night away. In contrast to the
flurry of ruffled dresses, a few
brave individuals flashed the
sheen of satiny tuxes and
pantsuits. Later, as the fog rolled
in, "A Crystal Night" drifted into
the winter's blue.

20 Sadie Hawkins

"Sadie Hawkins was a perfect
opportunity for girls to make the
first move and show just how
interested we really were,"
commented junior Rae Schmidt.
Encouraged by excited friends
and the onslaught of announcements and posters plastered
around the school, girls summoned up all their courage to
ask that "special guy" to
"Barefoot 'n' Bluejeans," held
February 4 from 8-11 p.m.
Approximately 100 couples
decked out in bandanas, rope
belts, straw hats and suspenders
poured in from the frigid air to
the "down home" atmosphere
prevailing Inside the Commons
and gym.
Sponsored by Spirit Board,
the hoedown transformed ordinary students into knee-slapping,
hootin' n' hollerin' hillbillies for
three short hours. Country
phrases like "Y'all," "Hey there,
partner" and "Yahoo" were
freely sprinkled into everyday
jargon. Music by the Beach Boys
pumped out by New Voice Radio

shook the walls as groups of
rockin' rowdies "got down"
country style. Slow ballads such
as the Beatie 's "Yesterday"
clustered couples absorbing the
romance of a little time together.
If too much dancing made feet
sore, plenty of other adventures
brewed fun. "Marryin' Sam"
Bernie Ashe united twosomes
willing to take the plunge in a
"marriage till midnight." After
making it "legal," newlyweds
lickety-split for Honeymoon
Cabin. The Commons, decorated
with tables covered with multicolored tablecloths and simple
vases of white daisies, created a
homey mood for gossipin' and
jawin'. The absence of the
traditional licorice eating and
arm wrestling contests simmered
down enthusiasm for tug of war.
Only a mere handful of juniors
turned out to compete against
the dominating seniors, who
literally yanked the juniors
across the line. For a quarter,
bumpkins could be thrown in jail
by friends hamming it up as well

as enemies seeking the ultimate
revenge.
At the height of the evening,
fourteen "Daisy Mae" candidates were carried to attention
atop the shoulders of weary
dates. The fourteen girls vying
for the title were Cheryl Baetz,
Debbie Barnett, Stacy Becker,
Sue Bruch, Patrice Ewald, Pam
Fraher, Kathy Grisham, Rachel
Lepp, Kathi Rasch, Julie Riese,
Brenda Schutz, Betsy Skendziel
and Shelly Staec. Voting, which
took place lunch hours on
Thursday, February 3, proclaimed Julie Riese "Daisy Mae"
and her date Mike Savaglio "L'il
Abner." A laurel of white daisies
marked her distinction.
As the evening dwindled to a
close, some couples "snuck out"
early to make the most of their
remaining hour of "marriage,"
while others lingered to the end.
Only a miniature replica of a pair
of bluejeans, complete with
barefeet and lettered with the
couple's names was a reminder
of another Sadie Hawkins.

"Way Down Yonder'' Revels
Variety Show's "Way Down
Yonder" sasheyed down famous
Bourbon Street into the festive
Mardi Gras atmosphere of New
Orleans on March 10, 11 and
12. The Southern setting and
traditonally celebrated revelry
showcased home town talent.
"The story line originated
around Mardi Gras/Bourbon
Street along with the beginning
of jazz on the Preservation Hall
steps," commented producer Jill
Jones, who was assisted by coproducer Pam Sukus.
Competition between emcees
Mike Stebbins and Kim Goff over
Kim's reign as parade queen
ricocheted humorous rivalry off
musical acts. To vent his jealous
frustrations, Mike Stebbins
quipped "That's Life" in song.
Kim Goff paused from her busy
Mardi Gras schedule to serenade
"Merchant's Song."
Garbed Dixieland style in blue
striped vests and banjo hats, the
Blue Jazz, under the direction of
Mr. James Firchow, blasted
22 Variety Show

"Wind Machine" to open the
show. With instrumental flair, the
Blue Jazz merged vocal efforts
for a touch of lyrics in "Mac
Arthur Park."
Scantily clad in black silky
shorts, bow ties and cuffs, the
guys kickline flaunted their
toe-tapping talents. Every twirling cane and "slip of the hip"
spotlighted each "Cajun Cutie"
with his individual interpretation
of the routine.
Walk-ons humorously depicted
selections from the season's telev1s1on lineup. Playing upon
"Saturday Night Live's" Lubners, Joy Welch as Mrs. Lubner
dropped in on the "kids" Rae
Schmidt and Ben Schwartz with
egg salad and Tang. Schmidt and
Schwartz responded in nasal
tones and "noogies."
Schwartz as Harry Unreasonable in another walk-on, ranted disgust at Brad McClure.
McClure's Dan Rathernot had
tuned in a family connection to
become lead broadcaster. Fea-

turing Betsy Skendziel, Cheryl
Baetz, Jeff Ermert, Brenda
Brown and Chris Skowronski, the
prime-time lineup of walk-ons
whipped through the Whiners,
an effeminate Zorro and Antoine's groaners.
Directed by Mr. Louis Covelli
and decked in color-coordinated
stripes, the Red Jazz bounced
"Love Beams" off the Bourbon
Street marquee.
The Choraliers high-stepped
into the spotlight with a roaring
twenties medley, "Charleston,
Flappers, and Razz-A-Ma-Tazz."
On stage again, the Choraliers
jazzed the tempo with the
contemporary quality of Manhattan Transfer's "Birdland."
Dubbed Ally and the Gators,
Dave Mullen, Jeff Hagopian,
Tom Lourigan, Mike Troche and
John Weiske, furiously fiddled
their way through "Devil Went
Down to Georgia." Roused by
the hand-clappin' foot-stompin'
jambouree, the audience thundered its appreciation with

standing ovations.
With the dimly lit gazebo as a
backdrop, Carolyn Jones tugged
heartstrings with mellow tones in
"My Heart Belongs to Me."
To the Red Jazzer's tunes of
"Robert E. Lee," " Bourbon
Street Blues" and "Way Down
Yonder," the feminine wiles of
the "Mint Julips" spread "Southern Comfort." Attired in
lavender satin, elbow length
gloves, garters and lacy parasols,
the girl's kickline slinked through
a parade of sequins.
Envisioning a trendsetter,
Jones and Sukus selected the
futuristic "Also Sprach Zarathustra," theme from 2001 Space
Odyssey to close the show.
Although "Hey Jude" lingered
as a ghost of after notes, the
electrifying and bracing tones of
2001 led performers into the
audience as they shared the final
moments "Back in Blue."

'Whodunit' Wraps Up Jury
"The Night of January 16th,"
an intense mystery of a man who
fell from the balcony of his
mistress' penthouse, tallied the
second best total attendance in
ten years. An average of 230
people per night viewed the
Drama Company's fall production on November 4, 5 and
6.
As the court room came to
order, the audience patiently
awaited the selection of the jury.
Twelve
people from
the
audience acted as the jurors.
Prior to the performance, names
were drawn from each evening's
volunteers.
Called forward, this jury was
seated in the front row of the
auditorium. Their responsibilities
were to listen to the testimony
carefully and to proclaim a
judgement. Mr. Kiszley, director
of the play, stated, "By involving
some of the audience as the

jurors, the play did, in fact, bring
together the rest of the audience
to concentrate on the testimony,
and in so doing, heightened the
production's effectiveness."
Lee Ortega explained, "I
gained acting experience and
awareness of the lead role. At
some points, I even felt as
though I really did experience
the murder. It was difficult at
first to concentrate on the
memorization of my lines and the
complex emotions I had to
express. But once I perfected
these, I enjoyed it!" As the
mistress Karen Andre, Lee
Ortega claimed that she didn't
kill her lover because of her
undying love for him.
Seven witnesses offered conclusive evidence, for and against
the defendant. The key witness
of the play was "Guts" Regan,
an ex-convict portrayed by Josh
Nelson. His testimony brought to

light the evidence on which
hinged the jury's decision.
Make-up created the illusion of
converting the actors into middleaged professionals and sophisticated socialites. Further, set
designers renovated the stage
into a courtroom. Appropriate
courtroom attire was selected by
costume director Kathy Mosler.
Sharon Norville, the student
director, remarked, "I never
realized the amount of time it
took to stage one single production." As the Bason between the
director and the cast, she
communicated the format and
clarified role portrayal for actors.
"As the performance drew near,
everyone tended to get a little
high strung, but upon the debut
of the play, everyone pulled
together to concentrate on
creating individual parts as
realistically and dramatically as
possible," Sharon added.

The lighting crew was cued for
general lighting and spots which
captured the action at precise
moments. Mr. Kiszley related,
"The Drama Company isn't just
the students that had a role in
the play, but everyone who
contributed to its success."
Out of the three performances, defense attorneys Anthony De Cesaro and Mike
McDowell won over the jurors to
an unanimous verdict of not
guilty. However, the third night,
district attorneys Doug Davey
and Mike Stebbins persuaded
the jurors to render a surprising
guilty verdict.
"Drama Company offers individual responsibility that leads
to 'team' productions. Even
stage presence and stage projection are secondary to the
educational value of
that
responsibility," concluded Josh
Nelson.

26 Spring/Winter Plays

and Fairytales Capture Laughs
"It is a very different experience performing for children,
because they really believe I'm
the character. An adult may
believe the performance, but
afterwards, they always know
you were just acting," expressed
Mike McDowell, who portrayed
Rip Van Winkle in the Drama
Company's Second Annual Children's Theatre Production. Presented on February 11 and 12,
the play repertoire was composed of the legendary fairy
tales "Sleeping Beauty," "The
Pied Piper of Hamelin" and " Rip
Van Winkle."
Without a set script, the cast
interpreted their own parts. "We
did have a basic outline, a 'mind
script;' however, every show had
different lines in it," commented
foreign exchange student Hanno
Settele, the Pied Piper of
Hamelin. Each actor spontaneously reacted to those before
him developing dialogue and
blocking.
Narrators escorted the audience through the stories. They
and the characters involved the
children with inquiries while
prancing through the aisles.
One of the challenges of the
children's production was the
large cast. Dealing with this large
group placed many responsibilities in the hands of the student
directors Doug Davey and Scott

Niles. Davey and Niles were
responsible for physical and
vocal warm-ups at rehearsal
before the director arrived. They
recorded director critiques and
acted as an assistant director by
helping individual actors on a
one-to-one basis.
"It is very hard to get a large
group of people to keep quiet
and listen. The student director
does almost everything, including
taking flak when the cast doesn't
behave!" remarked Scott Niles,
narrator of "Sleeping Beauty"
and student director of " The
Pied Piper of Hamelin."
The cast of the children's
productions agreed that entertaining children is more fun than
work because children respond
more quickly and display considerably more sensitivity than
adults. Roger Hampshire, one of
the brutish Hudson men in "Rip
Van Winkle," stated, "Children
respond to the simplist things;
with adults, you have to be much
more complicated."
Ken Steinhoff, also one of the
Henry Hudson's men and one of
the townspeople in "Sleeping
Beauty," expressed, "As two
different kinds of entertainment,
entertaining children is like being
a child, and entertaining adults is
much more like being an actor."
"It was very nice to see that
there are still kids who don't

need screaming, beeping or
speaking video games in order to
have a good time," concluded
Hanno Settele.
"Taste he may have, money
he does not . .. oh, how he lies."
Carlo Goldini's "The Liar" was
presented by the Drama Company April 28, 29 and 30. An
Italian farce, the play centered
around Lelia, a compulsive liar,
who was portrayed by Mike
McDowell. Each slap-stick scene
was dedicated to his unending
lies and their inevitable result: no
love, no friends and no respect.
The comical lines and actions
of the cast were enhanced by the
authentic costumes borrowed
from Melody Top Theatre in
Milwaukee. The play took place
in Venice, Italy, in the 18th
century. A small square in
Venice was adorned with a
trickling water fountain , an
elegant balcony and a detailed
background painting of Venice
scenery for the set.
Learning the mannerisms of
the people of the 18th century
and studying farcical comedy
aided the cast in portraying
roles. The cast attended two
workshops, one directed by
Norm McPhee and one by Ke~
Stofferahn, to develop an insight
in characterization and the 18th
century style.
Most of the characters were

"stock" or stereotyped characters. A classic example of this
was Bill Cameron's character,
Florinda. This "silent lover" sent
poems and gifts to his love, never
revealing his identity until the
last moment of the play. Ken
Steinhoff, the letter carrier,
commented, "Besides keeping in
mind the characteristics of the
time period, timing and fast
reactions were concentrated on
I'
the most."
"I calculate that I spent over
250 hours rehearsing for 'The
Liar.' I would merely express it
as being countless hours," said
Doug Davey, who portrayed
Ottavio, one of the leading
characters in "The Liar."
" The amount of rehearsal
time varied with each character,
but the substantial amount of
time dedicated to the play was
evident," commented Amy Torrez. Split second timing, defined
expressions, exaggerations and
"tall talk" contributed to the
success of the farce. Although
intended for sheer entertainment, "The Liar" farcically
reminded the audience that it
doesn't pay to lie.

Mystical Sparks Magical Memories
Spring showers failed to
dampen Prom goers' fairy tale
fantasies as they slipped into
white tuxedos and hoopskirts for
a night of "Mystical Moments"
on Friday, May 13.
Shortly after Sadie Hawkins in
February, guys worked extra
hours and starved at lunch,
scraping pennies together to
finance the "event of the year."
While they "scoped" a worthy
date and "checked out" tuxedo
rental fees, girls window-shopped
for a perfect dress with hopes of
an invitation from a Prince
Charming.
Sporadic rain showers that
beaded up on freshly washed
and waxed cars dissipated

qualms about serious Friday 13
omens. Spoiling for an extravagant night in spite of the
sprinkles, "Big Spenders" opted
for an intimate table for two at
such elegant restaurants as
Milwaukee's Hyatt Regency and
Columns, and Racine's Bistro
Bartholemew's.
Pastel and brightly colored
gowns were the magic touches to
materialize Cinderellas while
tuxes transformed ordinary
males into Richard Gere-style
gentlemen for the evening.
The driving beat of Magic
advocating Kool and the Gang's
"Let's Go Dancing" and the
Stray Cat's "Rock This Town"
lured dancers into the enchanted

forests of the formerly bare gym.
Through a brightly colored
rainbow, twosomes approached
pools of blue light filtering
through a cascading waterfall.
Exotic plants and goldfish enhanced the mystical atmosphere.
Park benches surrounding the
spotlighted gazebo and merrygo-round secluded couples seeking a private moment while
others rocked with the pulse of
the dance floor all night.
To cool off, pairs strolled to
the sanctity of the Commons ·
enclosed castle complete with a
drawbridge and stained-glass
windows. Star-shaped cookies
thematically
complimented
punch as a "late night snack."

After committing months to
committee meetings and set
planning, junior class President
Katy Krause traditionally was
crowned prom queen. Similarly,
coronation recognized both junior
and senior class officers as well
as Prom committee chairman
and dates.
At the stroke of midnight,
couples nervously awaited their
name announcement and spotlight. Bursts of applause from
admiring friends showed movement through the reception line
of school officials. The pause
under the rainbow gave proud
parents a chance to capture just
one more "mystical moment" on
film.

Following promenade, ap·

wandered to the cafeteria,
decorated with a light-span·
gled unicorn and multi-colored
streamer columns that suspend·

atmosphere, blue miniature cas·

covered in white. Having danced
off their earlier dinners, couples
satisfied late night appetites with
mostaccoli, beef, ham, cheese

Kapers" was sponsored by
Western Kiwanis, a world wide
men's service club.
Couples then settled into the

auditorium to watch " Four

a brief nap before dawn .
Restoring their energy, pairs got
back in the swing of things with
the tunes of Datillo. The band
revved-up 50's and 60's music,
singing golden oldies like the
Beach Boys' "Help Me, Rhon·

With tux jackets slung over
chairs and collars loosened, Mike
Johnson, Brett Hanlin, Chris
Paielli, Scott Bohn, Jim Gentile,
Brad McClure and Debbie Bar·
nett hopped on the stage to add
a little senior pizazz to Datillo 's

stage on the chorus, they

harmonized while twisting down
to the beat. Brett Hanlin commented, " We had such a good
time; we went back on stage and
did it all over again. We wanted
to make this the one to
remember."
After dancing the night away,
weary couples staggered home
for a few hours sleep before a
hearty breakfast or a picnic
lunch. Others settled for dough·
nuts, milk and juice in the
cafeteria to replenish themselves
for a lakeside sunrise watch.
Despite

ous with the prospect of rain.
Powder Puffers scanned the sky
for a break in the gloom but
cloudburst after cloudburst
pounded the football field.
However, the confident sen·
iors clung to vision of "Go for the
Gusto," as they attempted to
intimidate juniors by devouring
cookies baked into the shape of
red-shirted '84 women. The
undaunted juniors retaliated with
persistent shouts of "We've Got
Style!"
With still no glimpse of the sun
In the forecast, a few dedicated
parents and loyal fans gritted
their teeth and faced the
drizzling weather. The "true
blue" senior guy cheerleaders
flauntingly romped in, clad in
fishnet hoisery and "rah-rah"
uniforms filled out with water
balloons.
Slippery shoes and numbed
hands made ball-handling dif·

ficult as senior quarterbacks
Leslie Montemurro and Jackie
Valeri and junior quarterbacks
Laurie
Montemurro,
Karen
Anderson and Karen Ewens
strained through the haze to seek
out open receivers.
Although the juniors were
shaken early in the first half by
delay of game penalties, they
hung on to "style" and braced
themselves against the experi·
enced senior offense. The seniors
captured repeated first downs,
but were continally held from
touchdowns by the persistent
junior defense. Halftime tallied
a matched game tied at 0-0.
However, in the third quarter,
the seniors on the 37 yard line
took advantage of the junior's
inexperience as quarterback
Jackie Valeri spiraled a 20 yard
pass to split-end Linda Bertog
who danced through to the end
zone. Instead of kicking for the
extra point, the seniors swept
right for a two point conversion.

From there on, the seniors
overpowered the diligent juniors
as they capitalized on lost
yardage and interceptions.
The Junior's strong points
were 100-x-y-z pass plays, but
cold and rain made completions
near impossible. Trying to salvage the junior offense, coaches
reverted to running 38-bootlegs
and sweep rights. Backs Joy
Welch and Rae Schmidt carried
the ball for short gains, but were
headed off by defenders.
Late in the third quarter, a
pass play touchdown scored by
Gail Nelson was called back on
a clipping penalty. Just seconds
after the two-minute warning,
however, the seniors unveiled
their secret weapon. The hook
and trail play baffled juniors
when a short pass followed by a
pitch out racked up 20 yards.
With under a minute to play, the
seniors pushed their luck and ran
their special reserve play again.
For the second time, the

juniors were caught unaware as
six blockers led the charge to the
endzone. As senior cheers closed
the game, the "Gusto" had
overcome the junior "Style' with
a final score of 14-0.
The minimal crowd at the
game was made up for at the
final sock hop. Thawed and
well-scrubbed, Powder Puffers,
along with "high spirited" seniors, juniors and sophomores all
flocked together for the tradition·
al "Last Fling."
A satisfying blend of rock 'n'
roll, previously taped by Jim
Wegerbauer and Brad Puterbaugh, ranged from Prince's
"1999" to the Beatles;... "I
Wanna Hold Your Hand." Sinatra's "New York, New York"
faded on with th~ lights, as
seniors swayed arm in arm and
circled exhibitionists going out at
the "top of the heap." Parting
promises made for summer
reunions at Silver Lake ended
the school year "Back in Blue."

"The United States has always fascinated me as being the
country of unlimited opportunities and adventure," said Sussi
Lundquist, foreign exchange
student from Jakobstad, Finland.
"In Finland, people think of
America as being so liberated.
Also, I wanted to learn more
about American culture and
language," stated Lundquist.
After Tremper's selection as
the host high school, the Rotary
Club located families for Lundquist and Hanno Settele of
Austria. Lundquist resided with
the Preston's, the Wavro's and
the Emon's, thus exposing her to
different typical American
families . She had already
graduated from her homeland
school, but was interested in
extending her studies in the U.S.
In Finland, Lundquist spent
much of her time studying and
attending evening oil painting
classes. Her spare time was
spent working with horses or
visiting with friends.
"The school sponsored functions and activities are contradictory to schools in Finland, where
only studying is emphasized. I
wish that that could somewhat be
34 Exchange Students

changed," commented Lundquist . "I also liked the wide
selection in choosing classes."
Here, Lundquist was a
reporter for the Classes Section
of the Classic yearbook. She
wrote feature stories on such
topics as Finnish holidays and
Brewer World Series mania.
Also Lundquist played outfield
for the J.V. Softball team.
"Softball is so popular in
America; back home we play
mostly soccer and tennis. School
sports teams are also new to me.
In Finland I would compete in a
intra-city league sponsored by a
private club or organization,"
remarked Lundquist.
A two day stay in New York
City with other Finnish exchange
students highlighted Lundquist's
year. "That was a fantastic
experience because it gave me
an opportunity to see life in a
large American city first hand."
Hanno Settele, exchange
student from Dornbirn, Austria,
remarked on the strictness of
American schools. "School in
Austria could be more easily
compared to American colleges
because of the free atmosphere;
yet they are more challenging

academically than American high
schools," stated Settele.
"I came to meet people and
learn as much possible about
America," Settele explained. Encountering students through
school, recreational and Rotary
activities broadened Settele's
experience. A member of the
yearbook staff, Hanno wrote
copy and designed layout for the
Symphonic Band and Golden
Strings pages. Weekly, Settele
also played racquetball which is
very similar to squash, a game
Settele mastered in Austria.
Dancing and listening to a variation of rock and roll music called
New German Wave rounded out
his leisure hours.
In the Drama Company's
spring plays, Settele held two
major roles. In "The Liar" he
portrayed the leading character's servant, Arlecchino, and
in the children's production of
the "Pied Piper of Hamelin, "
Settele enthusiastically depicted
the Pied Piper. "I enjoyed the
plays very much and plan to
continue acting in Austria. I felt
that the plays were a good way
of expressing myself, and I've
always loved acting."

"I was always interested in
America's big brother image, so
I came to form my own opinion,"
said Settele. " Americans take
for granted conveniences that we
don't have, where in-town calls
are expensive and no microwave
ovens. I learned more about
America in one year by being
here than I could ever learn in
a textbook," stated Settele.
During the year, Sette le
enjoyed American traditions,
especially Thanksgiving. "I like
the idea of the family gathering
to count blessings," stated
Settele. Peaking his U.S. trip,
Settele spent a day in San
Francisco with a former exchange student, Frank Burns.
Settele was impressed with all
types of American food, adding
that he gained 21 pounds.
Leaving family, friends and
customs to come to a strange
country took courage and self·
confidence. "I knew there would
be highs and lows; loneliness was
only part of it. But, I will look
back on it as a very positive
experience. When I do get home,
I will miss America very much,"
concluded Settele.

Royal Blue Span Grad Spectrum
Excitement and aniticipation
for the Honors Convocation hung
in the air the morning of Friday,
June 3. While underclassmen
muttered sighs of "T.G.l.F.,"
seniors sentimentally invaded the
Commons one last time. Royal
blue gowns pulled out of boxes
were donned despite the wrinkles, and caps were proudly
placed upon heads with the help
of a few bobby pins, ignoring the
possible wrecked hairdo.
As the second hour bell rang,
setting juniors and sophomores
who had achieved honors ranking or who had a sibling in the
Convocation free, soon-to-be
graduates lined up in the hall. At
the first strain of "Pomp and
Circumstance," seniors commenced a slow march down the
aisle led by Class President Jim
Wegerbauer,
Vice-President
Pam Rizzo, Secretary Liz Gosch
and Treasurer Brenda Richard.
The sea of blue evoked a lump
in the throat of many classmates

anticipating a future turn in the
spotlight.
Having shared experiences for
three years, members of the
senior class were recognized for
outstanding individual achievements. Followed by the Pledge of
Allegiance, led by next year's
senior class president Sam
Salituro, awards were announced for scholars having a
three year straight "A" average
in each department. The most
outstanding students from each
division were William Law, Art;
Ann Althoff, Business Education;

Rucinski, Foreign Language;
Christine Ollila, Home Economics; James Park, Industrial Arts;
David Nice, Mathematics; Mark
Relich, Music; Jackie Valeri,
Physical Education; Roger Yonkowski, Science; and Chris
Zielsdorf, Social Studies.
Not even inclement weather or
Senior Skip Day had deterred
Sue Bruch, Jim Gentile, Dean

Knutson, Mazen Musaitif, Scott
Niles and Joe Stancato from
missing a day of school for three
years in a row. All six were
honored with a Perfect Attendance Award from Mr. Kranen,
along with applause and gasps of
utter amazement from peers.
Athletic and academic superiority were the qualifications for
both the Margery Hackbarth
Memorial Trophy bestowed upon
Donna Broesch and the Clarence
Kobishop Athletic Academic
Award presented to Tom Crosetto. The National Scholar Athletic

service activities. The Principal's

outstanding, went to Cindy
Beardsley for her academic and
extra-curricular success.
With the Alma Mater as an
accompaniment, the class of
1983 left the gym with teary
eyes and pride evident in their
faces . Parents congratulated
themselves for "a job well
done;" sophomores and juniors
mingled mentally with all the
memories of the past year while,
at the same time, anticipating an
exciting year to come. Five
hundred and forty seniors left
behind their school years and
entered the future robed royally
"Back in Blue."

Seniors' Last Look

"Get Down On It" by Kool & the Gang.
2. Satisfying savored hunger, Gina Bandi, Brenda Brown, Betsy Skenziel, Pam Fraher

Surmounting 14,580 hours
spent in classrooms, anxious
seniors celebrated the end of
thirteen years of schooling at the
Elks Club on May 20. "Only the
Beginning" was kicked off at 6
p.m. by sleek students who
donned pin-striped suits and
"vogue" dresses to stroll into the
streamered ballroom.
Settling down to a low roar,
seniors centered their attention
on President Jim Wegerbauer for
his remarks. After the invocation
by Greg Gunhus, appetites
whetted for a "big night out"
were appeased with chicken,
potatoes, beef, fruit salad,
mostacholi and desserts.
Carolyn Jones and Kim Goff
launched the evening's presentation with their duet version of
"We
Never
Really
Say
Goodbye." The realization of
"the end" was set aside by the
presentation of the mock and
serious awards. The serious
awards complimented seniors on
their contributions to the school.
Drawing outcries of approval
was the presentation of "Most
Intelligent" scholars to Cindy
Beardsley and Roger Yonkowski.
"Bear!
Bear!"
thundered
through the banquet hall as
Barry Freitag was greeted with
the "Friendliest" award; however, the rowdy crowd was even
more riled by the mock awards.

Gag gifts from Most Likely to
"Marry" to "Hot Buns" evoked
chants and standing ovations.
Enlightening the class of '83 was
the presentation of "Pour a
quiche" to "Real Man" Kip
DesArmo. "Mr. & Mrs. Airhead"
blew to Kim Sirocchi and Jeff
Lodginski while "Hot Buns" was
"briefed" to Brenda Schutz and
Gary Sentieri. "Biggest Flirt"
exposed Pam Fraher and Jim
Gentile while "Biggest Athletic
Supporter" was strapped down
to Kathy Grishman and Keith
Martin.
'83 originals depicted senior
studs strutting their "stuff" in the
slide presentation following the
awards. Such masterpieces
focused on the Homecoming's
misty moments, Aaron Tuska's
State wrestling takedown and
Lisa Miller's "tongue out" at the
intruding camera.
The seniors "got down" in the
remaining hours with the upbeat
music of Magic. Blockbusted with
Magic's versions of Michael
Jackson's "Beat It," Prince's
seniors mingled, hugged and
kissed at their last class gettogether. With the memories of
the past etched in their minds,
seniors tipped glasses and midnight oil to a "Back in Blue"
version "Of Only the Beginning.

Freedom
For Life
As relations and friends
poured into the Kenosha Fieldhouse on June 9, seniors waited
impatiently for the nineteenth
commencement. Although the
Class of '83 had only 559
members, the number of honors
acquired by individual graduates
increased over the previous
year.
The Orchestra's "Grand
March from Aida" welcomed the
graduates. Paul Saksvig led the
Pledge of Allegiance, followed by
Pam Rizzo's invocation. The
perspective, offered by Liz
Gosch, condensed three years of
vivid memories.
In her commencement message, Cynthia Beardsley stressed
the importance of individual
strength. Senior Class President
Jim Wegerbauer expressed his
message through Bruce Springsteen's lyrics. "The bluntness of
Jim's speech interrupted the
comfortable, protective dream of
high school," said Pam Callahan.
The focus on reailty charged,
"Today is Independence day for
the rest of your life."
As Principal Mr. Robert Clark
presented the class to Superintendent Dr. John Hosmanek, he
emphasized its outstanding quality as individuals.
After Dr. Hosmanek accepted
the class, the awarding of
diplomas began. The seemingly
never-ceasing calling of names
persisted a duration of 40
minutes. Once each graduate
had received his diploma, Jim
Wegerbauer conducted the ceremonial tassel turn, officially
graduating the Class of '83.
Led by choir graduates, the
new alumni and guests sang the
Alma Mater. In closing, Bob
Ward's benediction expressed
gratitude for the good fortune
and experience of the past
years. As "Pomp and Circumstance" signaled the processional, the graduates filed out
pondering the uncertainties while
the past splashed memories
"Back in Blue."

Golden Summer Rocks Carefree Roll
Fun. That three lettered word
was is so reflective of summer.
Whether zooming down Sheridan
Road to fast food joints or to
parties with friends, summer
months sprawled out with endless possibilities for "fun in the
sun."
Ten weeks. Such a short time
to spend away from tests and
schooltime drudgeries; yet for
the most part, time was spent
lackadaisically soaking up rays
or peering at the television to
view Heather canniving against
enemies in "General Hospital."
As the ultraviolet rays beamed
down from the golden sun,
students waded in the quenching
waters of Silver Lake or the
rippling waves of Lake Michigan
on a humid July afternoon.
Checking out the "action,"
students strolled along the
shorelines. Whether it was sailing
into a sunset on a streamline
course to Racine or grabbing the
fishing pole to get a "bite" of the
action at Cohorama, students
entertained themselves with
spontaneity. Nightfall arrived; a
short drive to Bun & Games
created an atmosphere zeroed in
on the space age. Pac-Man and
Centipede gnawed at pockets
full of quarters while satisfying a
climatic sense of destruction.
Somewhat unfortunate as far

as selection, Kenosha offered
few forms of concerts and
carnivals; however, that did not
stop students off to Journey,
Rush, and Springfield concerts in
Chicago or at Milwaukee's
Summeriest.
Besides enjoying the great
outdoors, students squandered
time by watching a good tearjerker like £. T. or a nervetingling thriller like Rocky l/l.
Unfortunately, not all summertime fun comes free. A little
jealousy surfaces in that some
students cannive money out of
their parents for midnight capers
and spend endless hours bronzing themselves. These customers
in shorts and a golden tan only
further depressed MacDonald
cashiers and cinema popcorn
poppers.
Most despicable were hot days
in summer school, cramped
inside a smoltering building
trying to concentrate on endless
lectures and an abundance of
homework. Finally, school was
out until tomorrow, and the
student made a mad dash to
Anderson pool to cool off his
sweating body, only to find it
packed with bite-sized little
people. Homework was indefinitely detoured because every
night was a weekend.
Late July arrived. School

approached too fast. From
cheerleaders to Black Watch,
valuable time had been spent to
teach and make the squad its
very best. Clinics and camps
offered days of enjoyment as
guys attempted to sneak up
backstairs to girls floors, causing
"headaches" for supervisors.
New friendships were aroused as
well, resulting from a confided
week with others. Unfortunately,
all work and only after-hours
play usually resulted as students
were swamped with tedious
hours of work. From drawing
twenty layouts in one day to
conducting monotonous repititions to execute a ten minute
long routine, superior performers
polished skills.
Sunset. Who would ever have
thought that schooltime would
approach so fast, just when
summer fun was kicking off into
high gear? Remember the times
when the glowing red rays of the
sun penetrated beneath the
towering oak trees and the stars
shown in the everdarking azure
sky? Nights like that seemed to
last forever as sun worshippers
sped down a curving country
road to Silver Lake with the
warm summer breeze briskly
blowing tousled locks.
While most students cherished
the remaining days before school

started, a select number of
students dug up their tennis
rackets, slapped on the shoulder
pads, or tried on worn-out tennis
shoes. Strolling past the grounds,
a student observed the swish of
blue blurs stampeding toward a
pigskin. Focusing elsewhere, he
narrowly escaped Keith Richter's
boot through the uprights. Under
intense heat, swift tennis players
dazzled their way toward a
yellow ball, attempting to smash
a cross court volley past sophomore "wonder" Beth Barden.
Cross country buffs hustled their
ways along the bike trail as
swimmers splashed on to record
times.
Vacations in the Florida sunshine, excursions to Marriots for
the American Eagle, or those
challenge, afternoons romping
carefree to retrieve a frisbee
overflowed summer. Summertime offered countless glimpses
of unnurtured splendor away
from responsibility in moments of
tranquility and flashes of intrigue. Summer paths converged
again at August registration. In
October, sun lovers "Back In
Blue" regretfully curbed the
urge to o.tch some rays until
2:30 and longed for an endless
Indian summer.

Summer 45

New Wave Struts 'Awesome' Fads
Multicolors, "excellent" music
and "awesome" styles echoed
last year's fads. Following the
flow, teens jumped onto the
"vogue-wagon" "eating up" the
most recent changes.
Although most styles eventually fade, the old standby "bluejeans" dominated as the essential fabric in most wardrobes.
Paired with a concert T-shirt and
tennies or a highnecked, ruffled
blouse and ballet-type flats, jeans
sauntered in, ranging from Levis
to Jordache. Op~ing for a
dressier look, guys donned knit
ties, cords and Western boots.
Female "fashion plates" paraded pinstriped jeans, cowboy
boots and puffy sleeved blouses.
Raiding a father, brother or
boyfriend's closet, girls adopted
bow ties, knit ties and cummerbunds for themselves. Aside
from the traditional red and blue,
bandanas in orange, green,
purple, pink and yellow, worn
around the neck and waist,
preluded the coming of spring.
Influencing fashion "totally,"
the "Valley Girl" craze attired
girls in bright colors, mini skirts,

colored tights, polkadots and
stripes. Those notorious girls
from the San Fernando Valley
also made popular phrases like
"Omigod," "Like," "Fer Shurr"
and "Mega," heard throughout
the halls.
Last year's video games rage
diminished slightly, due to the
enormous popularity of home
video cartridges by Atari and
Coleco-Vision. Video games fanatics seeking the right atmosphere cruised to Bun & Games
and, with a quarter in the slot,
were hyperspaced into cosmic
oblivion.
Heating up Wednesday nights,
the evening soap "Dynasty"
entangled viewers with its
devious plots, scheming characters and promiscuous adventures. "Magnum P.I.," a detective series with Vietnam undertones, attracted many fans, not
only to view the show, but also
to see Tom Selleck's green eyes,
dashing smile and robust
physique. "M•A•s•H," the Monday night blockbuster series,
terminated its eleven year run on
February 28 with a two and a

half hour farewell special. The
beloved series about the Korean
War lasted almost four times
longer than the actual war itself.
In search of "what's goin' on,"
many students caught a "flick"
at the Cinema or Market Square.
"Tootsie," the critically acclaimed comedy, starred Dustin
Hoffman in drag as soap opera
star, Dorothy Michaels. Avid
horror movie fans were kept on
the edge of their seats biting
their nails with the hair-raising
suspense of "Poltergiest,"
"Creepshow," and "Friday the
13th Part III in 3D." "An Officer
and A Gentleman" and "Rocky
III" both enjoyed success at the
box office as well as on the pop
music charts with number one
titletracks. "E.T. the Extra
T errestial," the lovable creation
of director Steven Spielberg,
surpassed even "Star Wars" in
gross profits. E.T.'s unusual face
appeared on everything from
sheets to toiletpaper, and the
E.T. doll and home video
cartridge both were prosperous
as novelty items. In the privacy
of their own homes, teens "soft

at heart" lovingly provided
shelter for Garfields and Smurfs.
Although banned from school,
Walkmans rode high on a wave
of popularity. For students with
the big bucks, these head-sets or
concert tickets made it possible
to "jam." Chicago and Milwaukee boasted such headline acts
as the Who, Rush and Triumph.
Foreign groups such as the
Stray Cats with their hit "Stray
Cat Strut," Men at Work with
"Down Under," and New Wave
groups like Adam Ant, The
Clash, and The Pretenders
blasted onto the national music
scene. Shedding the security of
a prominent group to start a solo
career, the Commodores' Lionel
Richie hit with "Truly" and
"You Are." While Genesis' Phil
Collins charted with his remake
of "You Can't Hurry Love," the
smash duo Hall and Oates
continued dominance with "Maneater."
As fads gradually faded into
the past, they etched images to
be tucked away, images of times
when short hair, New Wave, and
"mega" were "Back in Blue."

Lessard opts for the cuddly cuteness of

Excursion And Diversion Toss Time
Just when it seemed safe to
venture into the halls of Tremper
High ... Just when motor skills
were automatically programmed
to class time and location ...
Just when stomachs had adjusted to the ritual of 10:30 tacos
Out of the blue, the
administration sprang the infamous 2A-2B assembly on the
unsuspecting student body.
Adding to the perplexity of
getting from choir to computers,
each sports season brought three
times a year the mass confusion
of a 6-1-2-3-4-5-7 assembly
schedule. Lo and behold! The
everyday routine was rudely
shattered into oblivion.
Although assemblies are "old
hat" to the "worldly" juniors and
seniors, sophomores recalled the
terrifying First Day.
The Fall Sports Assembly
commenced the athletic year on
September 9. Often wishing for
a compass to find seventh hour
seating, students scanned the
packed gymnasium bleachers for
familiar faces.
While the
audience admired the sleek
precision of knee drop, flip and
pose, they groaned in sympathy

for the Trojanettes' battered
knees during their award-winning
Survivor's "Summer Nights."
The Varsity football team braved
ominous-looking teammates to
kick-off their Blue-Division clinching potential. However, minus
shoulder pads, "hut-hut-hike"
patterns
looked like
"dosi-does."
Barely having recuperated
from the chaotic Fall Sports
Assembly, the administration
dropped the Winter Sports
bombshell. Debuting before
hundreds of potential fans,
sweaty palms made handling the
basketball tricky for many wouldbe hoopsters.
Nevertheless, the ever-faithful
"true blue" backers voiced their
undaunting support with a few
half-hearted shouts of "That's
alright. That's O.K. We're gonna
beat them anyway." In contrast
to the basketball team's stage
fright, the gymnastics teams
spiraled limber legs and agile
arches through with flying colors.
The prospect of free donuts,
combined with the yuletide spirit,
prompted students to strip the
cupboards bare of "yuckies" like

beets, wax beans and cream of
mushroom soup. "I even pilfered
a box of my little sisters' Froot
Loops," said Annette Sopata.
The plentiful results of the Key
Club Food Drive were displayed
at the Human Tolerance Assembly on December 1 7.
With the semester drawing to
a close, students braced themselves for another eighteen
weeks of "entertainment."
"History of Dance," presented
by Dick Shorr's Dance Troupe
on March 3, paraded a multitude
of steps made famous by the
Silver screen, including the
Tango and the Samba. Swinging
back to the 50's, Tremper
graduates Guy and Dorothy
Singer executed their "be-bop"
routine, nationally acclaimed on
the syndicated series "Dance
Fever."
After conducting a nationwide
tour, the Mankato State University Wind Ensemble concluded its
journey March 13 at Tremper
High, Director Stanley Ross's
own Alma Mater. Students who
didn't "dig" the cultured taste in
music appreciated the over-run
in time allotment, thus shortening

third hour to mere minutes.
Signaling that "the end" was
drawing near, the assembly year
putted to a close with the Spring
Sports Assembly on April 14.
The washout of the early golf
season compelled Coach Paul
Fennema to flop in with flippers,
mask and snow shovel.
Encouraging sophomores to
"plan ahead," what better out
than a legitimate skip from
homeroom, the Guidance Department hosted Career Day in
the gym on November 3. Literature on varied occupations was
available for goal-oriented and
similarly stoic seniors.
Health and Fitness Week
shaped up the winter waistline
woes. Noon hour "peep shows"
pumped the benefits of weightlifting and keeping fit. Before
drooling females and males
grimacing in envy, bodybuilding
buffs flaunted their physiques
with feats of strength.
Assembly schedules recalled
fond memories of 45-minute
junior high class periods, while
assembly action bounced students back to sports, back in
shape, and "Back in Blue."

Anxieties "Hype" National Recession
With the inauguration of
Ronald Reagan on January 10,
1980, Republicans had rallied
" For A New Beginning." Yet,
after two years of economic
instability, many Americans were
still searching for the "new" life.
Unemployment rates rose in 4 7
of the 50 states.
In addition, Reagan tax plans
and cabinet officials rocked the
White House staff with controversy as the economy remained the most heated issue.
In contrast to scandals in the
Environmental Protection Agency and cabinet resignations,
Reagan acknowledged the national troubles, but definitely
declared the state of the nation
was going to pick up .
West Virginia and Michigan
were perplexed by unemployment rates of 17.8% and 17.3%
respectively, and on February
15, reports stated that the
increased surge had drawn
Americans to observe Reagan
policies closer. Again, White
House and Congressional Budget
Committees boasted that starting
in '83 jobless rates would decline
to single digit figures. By late
February, new claims for jobless
benefits had dropped sharply to
460,000. The inflation rate declined for the first time in over
8 months. On January 21, the
inflation rate read a mere 3 .9%,
triggering the best year for

consumers in over a decade.
It appeared that after a slight
lull in February the nation was
turning around; nevertheless,
Ronald Reagan had announced
on January 30 that a $208
billion deficit would occur by
March 15. His $848 billion
budget contended that an additional $30 billion must be added
to restore our neglected national
defense. February 20 reports
had shown that the Soviet Union
was spending twice as much on
arms as the United States. A
further proposal for 1984 included a 14% increase in defense
spending, totaling an unprecedented $238.6 billion.
The Reagan administration, in
its attempts to deal with varying
inflation and jobless rates,
proposed tax bills on January
11 . This brought protests from
union workers who claimed they
would receive less income in the
form of unemployment benefits.
Tax bills affected all walks of life
as youths and waitresses were
targeted for wage decreases.
The February 20 plan was to
lower the minimum wage by
85¢ . Reagan stated that this
would create more jobs for
youths. Furthermore, waitresses
and other "tip" recipients had to
claim 8% of gross sales instead
of the estimated $1.34 per hour.
The unpopular tax laws resulted from the February 2 Secre-

tary of Treasury Donald Regan's
announcement that the U.S.
government was superficially
broke. Only a hike in payroll
taxes and frozen tax benefits
would prevent the fold of the
Social Security system. On
January 17 immediate action of
a $169 billion compromise was

failing Social Security system.
In spite of conficts buzzing
around a recession-hyped nation,
international affairs drew U.S.
attention. After an Israeli soldier
was killed by a Palestinian land
mine on April 21, Israeli tanks
thundered over the Lebanese
border. Within two weeks, Israeli
troops pinned Palestinian forces
against the Mediterranean Sea in
the city of Beirut. After months
of intense fighting, the Israeli
government, under U.S . mediation, began withdrawal talks.
With Israeli approval, the first
step in reconstructing the Lebanese governmentelected president
Glias Sarkis on September 23.
Shortly after, on September 26,
American, Italian and French
troops were called in to evacuate
10,000 PLO troops from Lebanon. Israelis remained in Lebanon
until late January when they
were assured of safety from PLO
invasion.
For months the El Salvadorian
people had been at war with
leftist guerillas; despite this, on
March 28, the Salvadorian
people risked their lives to vote.
The election results clearly
stated that the democratic
government was their choice;
however, guerillas who were
militarily supplied by Russia
relentlessly staged a war with
"no support," according to UPI
sources. The government troops

could not withstand the far
superior forces which were
entering their northern border
via Honduras. Because of this,
President Reagan sent military
advisors in late October.
The reports relayed back
were far more disastrous than
previously expected. One advisor claimed that the most basic
elements of daily life were so
totally disrupted that people
everywhere were psychologically
in shock. This compelled Reagan
to send $10 million to El
Salvador.
As the war pressed on,
Reagan gave the Salvadorian
government an additional $298
million in military and economic
aid on February 10. Furthermore , in March, Reagan sent
1,000 American troops to aid El
Salvador in the protection
against ''unrighteous brutality.''
Bizarre killings plagued the
nation at home as Chicago and
Seattle sought to solve mysterious murders. In Chicago on
September 26 and 27, seven
people died after taking Tylenol
capsules laced with cyanide. The
poisonous drug had been embedded into the capsule, then placed
back on the counter of the local
stores. Immediately after the
discovery, reports demanded
that Tylenol capsules be
removed from the shelves. A $2
million investigation which started on September 27 revealed on
January 6 that James W. Lewis
had executed the Tylenol crisis.
Lewis was charged with a $1
million extortion plot.
Seattle residents were horrified over the mass killing of 13
people in Chinatown on February 20. The bystanders who
had come to gamble Chinesestyle were hog-tied and mass
executed during the robbery of
the private club. One man
staggered out into the street. A
passerby called the police, who
later arrested Ben Ng, 20, and
Willie Mak, 19.
In Memphis, Tennessee, black

held hostage white officer Robert

Memphis police decided to raid

tear gas, 20 SWAT and policemen swarmed the home on
January 13. All seven zealots
were killed. Brutally, Hester had
been beaten to death, while
handcuffed to a chair several
hours before the raid. Opposition
to this offensive attack declared
that the police hadn't attempted
to save Hester, and after
negotiations failed, the impatient
police stormed the home.
Unexpectedly, on January 11,
130,000 independent truckers,
who transport 90% of the
nation's food supply, announced
a strike unless the 5 % gas tax
was abolished. The truckers
claimed that this increased fee
would cost the average driver an
additional $1500 a year. On
January 31, the Independent
Truckers Association went out
on strike. Five days into the
truckers' shutdown, violence
struck truckers who had remained on the road. The first

incident occurred on February 4
when a Kenosha man, Henry
Voelkering, narrowly avoided a
shot on U.S. 45. The violence
spread as incidents were reported in Maryland, Ohio, North
Carolina, and Pennsylvania. The
violence did not cease until
February 9 when independent

truckers met with Congressional
allies to build an anti-gas tax.
Unable to afford wage loss,
truckers reported back to work
after a 16-day strike. The results
of the strike tallied one death, 96
injuries, and 639 accidents.
Another unprecedented strike
on September 21 affected Sunday afternoons and Monday
nights as NFL players walked off
the field, playing only 2 games.
Fifty-seven days later, after the
longest strike In major league
history, the players reported
back to work. The new contract
included an increase of $1.6
billion to raise salaries of the
1,500 players. Also included in
the four-year contract was a $60
million bonus for veteran
players, severance pay, salary
minimums, play-off money and
medical benefits. The strike
losses totaled $450 million,
including $240 million by clubs
and $72 million by players. the
NFL teams then battled for
seven games to capture the 16
play-off spots. Ironically, two
teams which had continued to
report for practice despite the
strike advanced to the Super
Bowl on January 30. The
Washington Redskins offensive
"Hogs" took on the "Killer
Bees" defense from Miami for
Super Bowl XVII in Pasadena.
The Redskins scalped the Dolphins with a final score of 27-1 7.
In Salt Lake City on
December 2, medical history was
made when doctors implanted an
artificial heart into Barney Clark.
Miraculously, Clark, who earlier
had suffered cardiovascular collapse, could function on January
9 somewhat normally, even
though he remained confined to
his bed. He could talk, eat and
later, even walk on February 13.

Fortunately, the cost of the research, which totaled $135,000,
was paid by the hospital. Clark
was quoted as saying, "That's a
load off my chest." Barney Clark
died of circulatory collapse on
March 28.
Mother Nature plastered the
nation with history-making
weather. California was flooded
by 10 Inches of rain, 16 ft.

to 60 mph on January 30.

February. Estimated damage to
the coastal area totaled $150
million. While New Mexico was
buried by 20 inches of snow on
February 21, the Midwest was
enjoying unseasonably warm
weather, peaking with temperatures in the lower-60's.
The "winter" that "almost"
wasn't for the New England
states shared in the winter's
mishap as 20 inches of snow fell
in 14 hours on February 13. This
blizzard paralyzed eastern cities
for two days. The unusual
weather was caused by the
eruption of Mt. St. Helens In
Washington.
TV blockbusters were championed by the "Winds of War."
Its first night, aired February
1, drew a record-breaking
32,570,000 viewers. This WWII
mini-series surpassed "Roots"
and "Dallas" toward averages of
50-55% of the nation's viewing
public. Equally successful as a
TV premiere was the two-hour
special starring Cheryl Ladd in
"Grace Kelly" on February 17.
"M•A•s•H," which ended an
11-year run on March 1, drew
comparable record numbers.
Entertainment also lured
Americans to travel away from
the comforts of TV at home. The
World's Fair In Knoxville opened

its global doors on May 1 to
"Energy Turns the World." Walt
Disney's $800 million fantasy
debuted the Epcot Center in
Lake Buena Vista, Florida, on
October 1.
Finally, a new football league,
the USFL, was established in the
spring, while the St. Louis
Cardinals defeated the Milwaukee Brewers for the World Series
title.
To end '82 with an unusual
event, a man on December 8
threatened to blow up the
Washington Monument unless
there was "a national dialogue
on the nuclear weapons question." With bullets, police riddled
the man's blue van as he
departed. Investigation disclosed
no bomb.
Marked by the unexpected
and unexplained,
1982-83
recorded a spring resurgence in
the Stock market. This renewed
vigor approached the summer
months "Back In Blue."

Kenosha Tunes To 'Allied' Sights
As Kenosha's economy battled, fluctuating national jobless
rates, budget cuts and factory
foreclosures, the AMC Bain
Station lot hosted the most
prominent uplift of all, the
Renault Alliance. Motor Trend's
"Car of the Year" shed an
optimistic outlook on the year
where disputes over local and
state benefits had plagued the
1982-83 season.
Before the unanimous decision
by the writers of Motor Trend
Magazine, which recognized the
Alliance for its quality, construction, superior performance and
innovated design, the AMC
lakefront and main plant had
been renovated with a $200
million retooling project to
launch the Alliance. The frontwheel drive sedan helped AMC
domes c new car sales soar to
a record high of 126% increase.
In February sales reached
10,328 which helped curve t e
AMC deficit, to a near-break
even $2 9 million loss.
With the Alliance sparking a
sales record of $857 million in
the fourth quarter of 1982, the
gala of a promising future as
interrupted by the announcement on January 30 that the
Spiri , Concord and Eagle,

formerly produced by AMC,
would no longer be manufactured in Kenosha. With indefinite
layoffs of 1,350 workers in both
Kenosha and Toledo, Alliance
sales of 600 to 635 per day
buffered falling AMC models and
helped AMC reduce plant shutdowns and single-shift schedules.

Tradition has defined rigid
boundaries between seniors and
underclassmen. However, the
Class of 83's acceptance of the
juniors and sophomores has broken the barriers to blend the
classes. "Take it as it comes" has
spilled over into the five minutes
passing through the courtyard to
the Commons and the hour lunch
excursion to Wuv's. People min·
gled.
Intrigued by changing tradition, "Technically speaking, we're
not worried" attitude and theme
dances "floated" throughout the
year. At the Halloween Dance,
seniors spooked costume spirit into
anybody who wanted to celebrate
the night, defying a "senior's only
tradition." The worm, 60's music
and layed back style wriggled its
way through to the "Last Fling."
Juniors, though, knotted their
bandanas and tightened their
cliques, clinching to their own
identity. To avoid "Mac's" and
"Bun," juniors by tens flocked to
parties and cruised the lake while
searching for an "awesome" time.
Busting loose from the monotany with "junior party," home·
room programs aroused grimaces
from sophomores. Nearly once a

A Box
As I was digging into the very
depths of my ancient, musty
trunk in search of my Comp. for
College Huck Finn term paper,
I came across a gigantic box
marked "Sophomore" in bold,
black letters. It was in that box
that all the momentos from my
traumatic sophomore year were
lodged.
Anxious to rehash "childhood"
memories, I tore off the lid and
stared into the box, only to be
overwhelmed by my whole
sophomore existence glaring
back at me in the form of "who
do you like now?" notes and
other "treasured" souvenirs.
Forged passes marked "library" used to get out of
dreaded homerooms called to
mind memories of "coolly strut-

Sophomore
ting" into the Commons as fellow
"cutters" and I tried to pass
ourselves off as juniors. Tucked
back in the corner, my only
reward for those long hours of
breathing into the antiseptic
infested mouths of plastic "dummies," was my now mangled
C.P.R. card. At the sight of my
crumpled pink temps, all of the
embarrassment of "cruising"
past Mac's in a car bearing a
"Beware! Student Driver!" sign
rushed over me.
Old tickets, crushed corsages
and "Build a Big Mac" game
cards, the junior momentos,
mingled with the sophomore
"stash." The "middle of the
road" stereotype of junior year
justified my "laid back" attitude
and created a good excuse to put

off such radical endeavors as
finding a date for Prom, qualifying for State and going Hawaiian
to Friday night dances.
With a quick glance at my
Powder Puff jersey and paint
splattered jeans, a testimonial to
Prom set building, the realization
that the security of "coasting"
had terminated as junior year
sped into senior year.
Senioritis hit with full strength,
bringing with it the usual "take
it as it comes" outlook. Those
memories, too, had managed to
be collected as bits and pieces of
the past.
Empty spray paint cans rolled
out from under my Ocean Pacific
T-shirt, reminding me of sneaking into the shadows to avoid the
cops after spray painting rocks.

Van Halen ticket stubs, souvenir
beer mugs from "Rats," a
Winnie-the-Pooh bed sheet converted into a toga and other such
paraphernalia all symbolized the
wildness of senior year. Taunting
memories of A.C.T. deadlines,
college application forms and
career plans plagued me as
much as these "pains" had
overcast the entire senior year.
I had thought senior year
would find us all "mature" after
finally making it to the top. No
such luck. The future was staring
us right in the face. For the first
time it was scary. I almost
wished I were a sophomore
again. Or at least, I'd like to go
back to tenth grade if I knew
then what I know now.

At
As school corridors once again
overflowed with students on
August 31, the Class of '83
sauntered into the year with the
esteemed title of "senior." Early
Homecoming festivities resulted
in hurried and thus haphazard
floats. The Senior Class float,
"Endless Summer," boasting
pink flamingos, sun-bathing
"beefs" and "scorching" sand,
placed a disappointing fourth,
but the Seniors did not lament.
"Considering our very limited
budget, we built a unique float.
Our fourth place finish reflected
the fact that our float's theme
didn't relate to the Homecoming
theme but rather represented
Senior Class sentiments. We
started plans for fund-raising
events immediately after," ex·
plained Michelle Burnett, who
housed float building.
Cash rolled in following a
T-shirt sale December 6-17. The
shirts, designed by Jim Gentile
and sporting a Trojan emblem,
netted $225. Senior class also
sponsored a January 7 dance
and the May 27 "Last Fling"
dance after the Powder Puff
football game; both grossed over
$350. Splashing the green about,
seniors sold carnations on St.

sales so well, we decided to sell
green carnations on Saint Patrick's as a service," commented
Secretary Liz Gosch.
Seniors donned "sharp" suits
and "fine" dresses accented with
fashionable hats, on May 20, as
time stood still inside the elegant
Elks Club for the class banquet,
"Only the Beginning." Blue and
Silver dominated the evening as
class colors and the sweet
fragrance of fresh roses, the
class flower, lofted over the
ballroom. Seniors were entertained by serious and mock
awards, the band "Magic" and a
$100 slide show photographed
by Classic.

end of the year were combined
with those from the Class of '82
to purchase a new trophy case
which will be located outside the
gym doors on the north wall.

outstanding athlete awards will
be placed in the trophy case.

poured into the auditorium to

Survival Takes Raw Guts
In the middle of nowhere,
surrounded by hundreds of trees
and brush, with no food or
companionship, with only a
canteen of water, who could
survive?
Although the majority of people could not, senior Katherine
Ferwerda, after having spent 21
days in the Canadian wilderness
summer 1982, would be able to.
Ferwerda joined Outward
Bound, a program that teaches
people how to survive with the
elements. Outward Bound was
formed after WWI by a British
naval officer. He became concerned about young seamen who

did not have the skills needed to
survive. Now there are outlets all
over the world, each specializing
in its own environmental barriers. Ferwerda went on the
Canadian traverse from June 14
to July 4 that included canoeing,
repeling, white watering and
portaging canoes and equipment
across land from river to river.
Outward Bound was intended
for anyone with guts and
perserverance. "An Outward
Bounder is not expected to carry
more than his limit, but at the
same time, he is expected to
carry the most that he possibly
can," added Ferwerda.

To muscle·up for the SQQ.foot climb, Katherine Ferwerda repels up a mountain.

Getting
If there is one thing Friday
nights are known for, it is going
out. Whether the plan calls for
a peaceful night by the lake with
someone special or a cruise
around K-town with some
friends, the question "So, what
are you doing tonight?" perks up
any Friday afternoon conversation. This question is the first of
many steps in the "endless"
process of getting ready to go
out.
First of all, the decision of
what to wear lingers in the minds
of many. Since everyone wants
to fit in with the "crowd," the
tendency is to pick up the phone,
call a friend and ask what he is
wearing. After hanging up the
phone 45 minutes later, the
question of what to wear still
must be answered. Since it is
very likely that all of the time on
the phone was wasted, the
decision, more times than not,
ends up to be the usual faded
Levis and a concert T-shirt.
In preparing oneself for the
long night ahead, the female
gender seems to have picked up
the reputation of taking "forever" to get ready. Numerous
remarks about "primping" and
"spending all night in the

On to Go Out

bathroom" dominate gripes from
siblings. Aside from these complaints, many feel the same as
junior Kathy Jonaus when she
says, "Even though I do spend
a lot of time getting ready, it's
usually worth the effort." Still,
the "best laid plans" do not end
here; there is yet more.
The decision of who will drive
leaps to the forefront once hair
is swept back in lustrous sheen
and Nikes are firmly tied in

place Sometimes this may be
solved by the flip of a coin, but
more likely it is determined by
who has the most gas in the car.
One last element worth con·
sideration, or even consternation,
is the all-important question of
where to go. Sophomore Angela
Venturini comments, "A lot of
times I waste half the night
deciding where to go. I usually
end up going to the arcade." For
some, meeting friends at "Bun

and Games" or "Pot of Gold"
constitutes the normal night out.
For others, catching a good
movie at the Cinema and a bite
to eat at Mac's is the usual
format. Yet, for still others,
hitting every known party in
town is what going out is all
about. There is no such thing as
a "private" party. Whatever the
definition of going out is, one
word describes it best . necessary.

After the tense and time-consuming routine of getting ready, Angela Cassity and Elmer Gulatz munch at Mac's.

Rugged, A Military Profile
Awakening to the 3:00 a.m.
call of duty, the new recruits
embark on basic training for the
next eleven weeks. Vigorous
calisthenics followed by a grueling two-mile run pump up the
adrenalin before a hearty breakfast. Backbreaking drills and
painstaking Inspections complete
the day. Running obstacle
courses and practicing artillery
combat,
along
with
wall·
straddling, rope-climbing, and
rope-walking are drilled repetitively In boot camp.
"Basic training Is learning how
to fight and survive in a war and
how to be trained mentalJy and
physically," explained senior

Toni Remillard who will enter the
Army after graduation. During
basic, a soldier's life is not his
own, wake up, sleep, and eat, all
decisions are made for privates
by the drill sergeant.
Yet, the military services have
changed in the past decade.
While combat defense training
still predominates, today's military is helping Individuals succeed In life.
After the boot camp ritual, a
recruit Is directed to Advanced
Individual Training school in
preparation for his future. "I will

and language courses for my
travels In Europe. Once sta·
tloned, I will attend journalism
classes at a regular university
that is located on the base. In
1984, I'm planning to try out for
the All-Army Softball Team,"
said senior Heidi Nickel about
enlisting.
Remillard and Nickel signed
up on the "Buddy System." "It's
an option that friends who enlist
can choose. Up to three friends
can sign up together for the
same job. Toni and I are
guaranteed to be together for
basic and advanced training and
up to _one year in Europe,"
explained Nickel.
Training and education stride
forward as motives to "be all
that you can be" in the Army or
other military branches. "I'm
enlisted in the Marines for four
years because they offer me a
good future. I want to learn the
skilJs of aircraft maintenance; the
Marines will take care of all of
my expenses," commented senior Gerry Macias. As "the few,
the proud," the Marine Corps
guards every U.S. embassy
around the world, in addition to
major naval installations and key
ships in the fleet.
Keith Martin Is enrolled in the

Marine Reserve. "I'm signed up
for six years; in turn, the Marines
will pay for all my college
expenses," stated senior recruit
Martin.
West Point Academy differs
from the other branches of
service because it offers a more
colJege-like atmosphere. "I'm
honored with my appointment.
The Army wlll take care of all
my expenses such as room,
board, books and medical care.
I will be majoring in engineering
and will graduate as a second
lieutenant. It is all a great
beginning to a sound future,"
commented senior Mark Relich,
nominated by Senator Robert
Kasten. Cadets graduate with a
Bachelor of Science degree, a
second lieutenant's commission
and preparation for a leadership
position in the Army.
Beyond U.S. Academics,
regular service programs empha·
size career orientation. Army, for
example, offers scholarships for
medical and law studies, while
Navy specializes in nuclear
energy studies. "What a great

attention of high school students
facing the rising costs of education and a flagging economy.

The green paper that buys
everything from gasoline to a
night of boogying to "nourishment" such as French fnes and
Coke, is vital for the survival of
the high school social butterfly.
Tight-wad parents who deprive
their "children" of mega-bucks
force them into the cruel world
of tedious applications, nerveracking interviews and humiliating turndowns Nevertheless,
these experiences teach valuable
lessons in life's learning game.
Along with high school and the
sprouting of peach fuzz comes
the need for a job. Changing
from cutting lawns and babysitting to working at fast food joints
and supermarkets fills the ex·
penses of scarfing Big Macs five
days a week and cruising K-town
on Friday flings.
When one enters the "job
world," complications arise.
Interviews intimidate the firsttime-job-seeker. What should one
do to impress the supervisor?
First, dress neatly. One does not
have a chance if dressed in
bermuda shorts and sunglasses
only. Second, be sincere. Never
address the person granting the
interview as "dude." "Excuse
me, sir" is certain to work more
effectively than "Hey dude."
The most important thing is
never to fill out an application in

crayon. The interviewer may
consider it slightly immature or
indicative of a potentially erotic
personality.
Jobs mean money gained, but
several other things become
sacrificial. Sleep is the first to go
as anyone can tell by glancing
down a corridor. Zombie-like
beings bounce off each other like
bumper cars at Great America.
Strung out on No-Doz, these
work-aholics hang onto their jobs
"just for the money "
An unwritten law, usually
enforced by "concerned'' par·
ents, states that when grades
fall, the job goes. Those who can
simultaneously juggle both elements are lauded with awe by
their peers.
Teenagers who work miss out
on the "best of times and worst
of times" of high school. Responsibility looms like a four letter
word in church. Self denial of
dances, football games and
parties dwindles social life. On
the other hand, the money made
secures future worries about
college and spring breaks. In
high school, however, a penny
earned 1s never saved.

While making her rounds, junior Pam
Sukus fills in the all too familiar blanks
of a McDonalds application.

Fact
Congregating in the Commons, around a certain locker, in
the smoking area or at the top
of a set of stairs, cliques have
become an identity.
The mark of distinction has
asserted itself as a particular
style of
clothing, similar
hairstyles or speech patterns.
Burners, jocks and jockettes,

brains, frocks (combination of a
freak and a jock) and the t.v.
addicts cluster to radiate an
identity, a "presence."
Within these broad categories,
small social coeterie collect,
ranging from jocks on specific
athletic teams, club socialites,
rah-rahs and Tro-jos, the Classic
staffers, to the music jocks.

1. During fourth hour, Brian Peters, Ron Mentek, Dave Cebolsk•, Darren Pitzrick, Mike
Daoust and Andy Williams gather to plot their weekend schemes.

Most people admit they are
part of a clique, however, there
are others who do not even
realize they have been labeled as
a clique. "Being identified as a
part of a clique signifies prestige
to some, but 1ust because
someone likes to hang around
with the same group of friends
doesn't mean he's part of a
clique," stated Kathy Duber·
stlne
The humorous view of cliques
more than exaggerates; it bares
the bosom of high school society.
The book worms carry so many
books around it Is a wonder they
don't hire a U-haul to drag their
homework home. Then there
exists the "mature" clique.
Always acting older than they
really are, these girls grace the
hallways with their presence.
They make others never want to
grow up
An often talked about group is
the "block-the-top-of.the-stairs
gossip" gang. Everyone wants to
round up 200 pound friends
wearing cleated shoes to "stamp
out" this hallway hazard.
Easily distinguishable are the
smoking area burnouts. Inclusive
in this group are those courageous individuals who are
willing to overcome all types of

inclement weather to increase
their cancer eligibility. The
"druggies," too, make clearheaded students amazed that
these burners can sit through
class and never know it happened.
Whether the "I am up with the
fashions" girls admit to being a
clique, the fact remains they
have been classified as one. Life
for them is spent figuring out
what bizarre concoction of
wearing apparel to model.
With Mr. Paulauskus' office
designated as their own private
"hang-out,"
the
Student
Congress clique busies itself
discussing the mystery of the
"great stereo rip-off." Down the
hall, the sound of Maynard
Ferguson wailing away on his
trumpet warn any outsiders to
stay clear of the band room and
the "Maynard" fan club.
Although the word "clique"
•
suggests negative connotations,
advantages include always having someone to turn to, security
and a guaranteed weekend
agenda.
Whether viewed positively or
negatively, the fact remains,
"two is company, three's a
clique."

Pinch an Inch
Dieting has to be one of
America's favorite pastimes,
ranking high on the list with
Video Piracy. Such ads as "Thin
is in," and "overweight is out of
date" cause the average student
to feel as though he or she is
obligated to join the craze,
whether it be diet pills or sauna
suits.
Diets abound to the volume
that one person could choose a
new reduction plan every day for
a full year and still not have tried
everything.
In selecting a diet, the abstainer decides on one, counting
on satisfying his needs, a
"heavy" project. The first to
consider is "The Stillmann Diet,"
consisting of eight glasses of
water daily, perfect for lawn
lovers! Every half hour or so, a
run to the bathroom must occur.
Who couldn't lose weight with
that kind of exercise? The ever
popular "Eat Like a Fly Diet"
permits cookies, cakes, doughnuts and anything else within
reach. At any open air site, flies
exist on this, and fat flies are
unheard of. The kicker is the
crumb size quantity allowable.
Excessive pills and special
chocolate diet "aided" candies

hunger pains. Just send for
K-tel's magical tablets that drain
the body's water weight like
water gushing out of a broken
dam and only $9.99 for a
two-week supply. If starvation
isn't appealing, the all-new,
super-deluxe,
astronaut
approved "Ronco Slenderizing
Space Suit" can melt away
unwanted fat in just minutes! In
turn, "The National Informer"
has just created an amazing
weight reduction plan that gives
instant results! The mere removal of six feet of intestine or
the surgical slicing away of six
inches of ugly fat can change a
life style.
After the type of diet is
chosen, the time when the fast
or metamorphisis will be put into
effect is then "weighed" and
determined. November is an
inadequate period because of the
Thanksgiving feast. The Christmas and New Year's season is
most definitely out of the
question. Late March through
early April is impossible due to
bountiful Easter tidings. Therefore, the middle of Spring would
be a prime time to begin a diet,
and, of course, it can wait until
Monday.

'Blue Crew' Brews Fever
Effortlessly positioning himself
under the ball, left fielder Ben
Oglivie snatched the last out of
the season. It was then apparent
by their 95·67 record that the
Brewers would be a dominant
force in the playoffs. In the 25
year history of the club, the
Brewers had made it to the finals
for the first time.
Nothing breeds interest like
success; most Wisconsin people
followed the Brewer games
faithfully. As senior Sheree
Larsen commented, "I did not
really watch all that much
baseball until the Brewers made
it to the playoffs against the

California Angels."
The playoff series itself sizzled
with action. The Brewers were
challenged with such negative
factors as injuries to Ben Oglivie,
Gorman Thomas and Jim Gant·
ner, a catch being stolen right
out of Oglivie's glove and being
mistakenly ruled a home run, as
well as the 9 for 17 hitting series
of M.V P Fred Lynn .
The Brewer·Angel confronta·
tion came down to the seventh
and final game. However, as
reliever Pete "Big Foot" Ladd
forced Rod Carew to ground out
and secure the American League
Championship, the state of

" True Blue" fans Jodi Brandes and Adell Frye rejoice after the Brewers slid by the
Califorria Angels to take the American League pennant.

Wisconsin realized they had
triumphed over those factors and
proceeded to erupt into a
massive frenzy.
Brewers t-shirts, hats, buttons
and pins could be seen throughout the school. Even the morning
announcements reported the
outcome of the mm1·series,
though most Brewer fans already
had spread the wonderful news
that the "True Blue Brew Crew"
had made it to the World Series.
After winning their first game
against National League champs
St. Louis, the enthusiasm dis·
played by Brewer fans grew
even more. Nobody could really
believe It when St. Louis celebrated their victory twice in a
row Again"True Blue," the
Brewers did not stop fighting.
They made an incredible
comeback in the fourth game.
Junior Joy Welch cruised to
County Stadium to see the
Brewers and the Cardinals in
action. '"Brewers were losing
badly, but then, in the bottom of
the seventh inning, the Brewers
took advantage of all St. Louis'
errors and came back to win
The whole time all of the fans
were on their feet, cheering on
'Harvey's Wallbangers' "
During the last and deciding
game of the "Suds Series," TV's

all over Wisconsin reeled off the
play by play action to rowdy, but
friendly gatherings of fans;
tickets to the game were sold out
weeks before. Everyone watched
the Brewers struggle for victory.
It was a depressed feeling in
the air when St. Louis finally won
the game. However, fans all over
the state, and especially in
Milwaukee, knew that the
Brewers had given It their all,
and a second place in the World
Series was really something to
celebrate. Wisconsin Avenue was
crowded with people No cars
could get through; people over·
flowed the sidewalks; both young
and old were singing, dancing
and toasting the Brewers amidst
chants of "It doesn't really
matter."
Brewer fans did not abandon
the "crew" after their loss.
Senior Gerry Macias remarked,
"I still back the Brewers even
though they did not win the
Series; the main thing is that
they tried." Senior Adell Frye
added, "The Brewers are still
number one to me!"
Fans are very positive about
the Brewers next season. As
senior Betsy Skendziel stated, "I
feel they gained experience this
year, and that should help them
take it all next season."

"Quick, throw it in the trees'
You're making too much noise!

away left trees and bushes
decorated with white toilet paper
streams blowing in the wind and
rolls jammed into mailboxes.
Revenge was never sweeter
than the eve of a t.p. escapade.
The satisfaction received from
knowing it will take hours for the
unfortunate victim to clean up
his yard is immeasurable.
Not only is toilet papering a
standard prank pulled on friends,
or enemies, it also fills that
empty void on nights when it
seems there is nothing to do.
Junior Jeff Martin explained, "If
my friends and I don't have
anything to do, we jump in the
car and look for a house to toilet
paper. We usually do lawns with
interesting landscapes - one with
exotic trees and bushes." Birthdays, weddings or anniversaries
also inspire creative persons to
"care enough" to leave the very
best Charmin behind.
Besides the old standby routine of toilet papering the trees,
artistic minds make use of other
available aspects of lawn decor
such as the fences, gardens and
decks. The accomplished toilet

paperer has even immobilized
cars or tied screen doors shut
with a "toilet paper ribbon."
Taking the time to weave toilet ,
paper in and out of the porch
railing would indicate that a truly
daring toilet paperer had been
present.
Generic brands may not be as
squeezable but are preferable
because they are cheap and
available at any nearby Piggly
Wiggly or SuperValue. A less
expensive way to obtain toilet
paper is disclosed by junior
Debbie Barnes. "Instead of
buying toilet paper, some people
I know go into the bathrooms at
gas stations and rip off a couple
of rolls." For those with more
expensive taste, brand name
toilet paper is used. Junior Laura
Phillips explained, "I like toilet
papering with Northern because
it's 'strong and soft'-stroft. The
tree branches don't poke holes in
it so it stays up longer."
The owner of the papered
yard usually feels differently
about "strong" toilet paper,
especially after a rainstorm.
"Trying to get wet toilet paper
out of trees is like trying to get
gum out of hair," said junior
Shelley Garlow.
After discovering her lawn as

a mass of white toilet paper,
junior Margarita Macias commented, "I thought it was kind
of funny until I had to clean it
up. I didn't get mad about it,
though, because I've done some
pretty creative things with toilet
paper myself."
No matter who the culprit or
the victim happens to be, toilet
papering lives on. The art of
toilet papering is handed down

from generation to generation
The "tricks of the trade" an
older brother or sister has
learned come in handy in
continuing the tradition of decorating a neighbor's yard.
Unfortunately, the $25 fine is
the just reward of juveniles
caught on a toilet paper caper.
The risk and dare, though, roll
up to massive midnight mischief.

Gathering the remains from last night's toilet paper raid, Carry Dissmore unravels
streams from the "decorated" mailboxes and trees.

High Anxiety

Taking time out from lunch, Keith Richter str!ves to finish Math Anayl sis.

Faced with plunging GNP's
and low economic indicators,
teens today still consider grades
and peer acceptance major problems. These pressures center
around the one facet of their
lives all must endure - school.
Parental pressure to attain
high grades dominates student
life. "I think most parents put a
lot of pressure on teenagers to
get good grades. Parents like
mine want their kids to do well
in school, especially in high
school because that's the basis
for what a person is going to do
in life," commented senior Janet
Olufs.
Another reason students try to
"make the grade" Is college
acceptance and scholarships.
"The pressure is high because
the entrance qualifications have
gone up, and it's a lot,harder to
get grades high enough to qualify
for scholarships," added junior
Bev Sttehr.
Students also exert pressures
on themselves and each other.
Friday night dates, fashionable
clothes, and "wheels" are considerations when a teen determines his "social standing" in
school.
"Your friends should accept
you for who you are. You
shouldn't have to be hke every·

one else. When your friends do
something you don't want to,
they shouldn't force you into it.
It should be your own decision,
not theirs. Unfortunately, it's not
always that way," commented
sophomore Chris Beulow.
"Social standing" costs money. The need for money has
increased competition among
teens for jobs. "Now that I'm in
high school, I have my license,
but there aren't any jobs in order
to get money to go out," stated
senior Sue Soltis.
The pressures of grades and
peer acceptance diminish for
seniors as another looms In the
future. During the final year,
seniors set their sights toward life
away from home.
"I'm looking forward to being
on my own. After high school, I
will be going to college next fall;
the one I want to attend is in
Georgia. This means I won't
have my parents telling me what
to do everyday, but I'll be away
from everyone I know. My
apartment will probably be a
mess, but I could always. get a
roommate who likes to clean,"
added senior Sheree Larson.
Recognizing a teen must move
on from cars and clothes through
grades and college ensures the
flexibility to cope successfully.

Looking So Good, So Fine
"Kick-two-three-four!" ordered Becky, an aerobics instructor
at the Elaine Powers Figure
Salon. The crowd, clad in fuscia,
metallic blue and florescent yellow, respond to her authoritative
commands with synchronized leg
kicks and whirling hip rotations.
As the 2:30 bell rings, the girls
grab their tights and leotards and
head for an afternoon workout
filled with worthwhile and strenuous aerobics.
Performing aerobics on the
average of three times a week
for forty-five to sixty minutes
strengthens the heart and gradually improves figure shape.
With fitness being the craze,
everyone tries to find a niche in
the fitness world. "After a
workout I really feel good about
myself and that helps me to think
more clearly," commented junior
Julie Granger.
Routine workouts mold the
body, reducing waist size and
increasing endurance along with
decreasing total body fat. Economy and elegance are key reasons for aerobics. The benefits
equal running one and a half
miles cross-country, dancing or
playing racquetball, which all
strengthen the heart, reducing
the risk of heart disease and
mitigate stress.

The Jane Fonda and Joanie
Greggains' albums have popularized at home sessions. After
about 45 sweat soaked minutes,
there is no way to erase the
taunting idea of collapse. Probably that maddening "You can do
it!" sounds so energized because
Joanie is not doing a thing,
merely relaxing in a cushy chair
in front of a recording mike,
sipping a Diet Pepsi. Yet, the
drudgery seems somehow worth
it. "Instead of conforming my
busy schedule to fit an exercise
class, I bought an album so I can
counter the junk food calories
with it," commented Tracey
Kennedy.
Cold steel pumps envigorating
stamina into bulging muscles and
overpowering curves. The machines of Nautilus fulfill this
yearning for physiques. The
benefits of progressive and variable resistance transforms sweat
and grunts into a lifter's glistening profile. The machines are
built with a "cam" which
mechanically
changes
the
weight. The bulk gets heavier
when raised and lighter as it is
lowered
Because of this change, it is
never necessary to "throw" the
weight. Therefore, the chance of
an injury to the connective

tissues, tendons and ligaments,
supporting the muscle is less.
Fitness centers like Nautilus
advocate the machines because
they minimize possibilities of
injury, unlike freeweights or
barbels
The philosophy behind Nautilus is one of economy; it takes
less time because of the "cam."
"Total physical fitness is like a
three-legged stool. A guy needs
strength, cardiovascul conditioning and flexibility," explained
junior Jeff Stanich.
Nearby Wilmot Ski Mountain
or
cross-country
trails
at
Petrifying Springs lure outdoor
buffs who come to grips with

"natural" fitness. At 11 when
the slopes close or the noon sun
beckons the skier from the trail,
chest and leg muscles quiver
from exertion. A brisk run down
the mountain or a cross-country
trek exercises 94% of the body's
muscles including the heart.
Sophomore Lisa Mallek stated,
"Being a part of the Wilmot Ski
Team challenges my physical
stamina and increases my endurance. I feel refreshed after a
day's workout."
Muscle tone, heart and lungs
throb with every workout, leading to an ultimately impeccable
body.

Note the New Kids in Town
Crowded halls filled with
unfamiliar faces, a maze of
rooms, feeling like an alien
believe It or not, these descriptions apply to dear old Tremper
High through the eyes of
students who have transferred
here from out of state.
For the new kid in town the
"growing" pains of grades, work,
parents and peers are all the
more difficult. Changes between
the former school and the new
one staggers the social life and
thwarts academic continuity.
Two seniors, Gina Bandie from
San Diego, California, and
Richard White from Richland,
Washington, and two 1uniors,
Amy Gring from Grand Rapids,
Michigan, and Genneh Jorkey

from Charlotte, North Carolina,
made the move to Tremper in
the middle of the year. Survival,
academically and socially, dictated quick change.
A communication gap may
temporarily stunt the adaptive
process. For instance, Band1e's
"What's the beef?" was not a
reference to the hot lunch.
However, in California, it was a
commonly-used
phrase for
"What's happening?" In order to
be understood, Bandle excluded
from her vocabulary lines such as
the following: go get a job (get
lost), bogus and skanky (bad or
ugly) and bail (leave).
"Language usage is poor here!
I've never heard 'Borrow me a
pencil' before. There Is also a lot

Newly transferred student, Gina Bandle, gains Insight into Trojan faces and traditions

more swearing," White added.
Every school, as every individual, sports its own personality, mainly through fashion.
Alligators and oxfords dominate
St. Joseph's while the more
liberal at Bradford punk out,
totally. If such differences take
place across town, what could it
be like across the country? In
California (Trendtown, USA),
girls wear mini skirts and even
jocks don plaid bermuda shorts!
It's enough to make a student
dash back into the comfortable
Levi's and sweatshirts of Kenosha! Gring commented, "Just
about everyone dresses highfashioned and classy here. In
Michigan, it was ~ prep and %
slob!"
"In Washington, Levi's and
Lee's were rare! James, Oz or
Lawmen jeans and Hawaiian
shirts were in. No black leather
jackets!" exclaimed White.
Wanting to be one of the
crowd weights the minds of kids.
Gring noticed that at Tremper,
"Although people tend to stick
together, individuality and originality are more common here."
Activities and sports furnish
escapes for students. Lettering in
track to enjoying mousse au
chocolat with French Club, to
collecting food for the needy
gobble up after school time

White contrasted Washington,
"Skiing on real mountains,
frisbee and hackeysack were the
craze at Richland High. Hackeysack involves kicking a small
beanbag up in the air and not
allowing it to touch the ground."
About California, Bandie added, "Tennis. Everyone plays
tennis! Surfing, field hockey,
badminton and scoping are also
popular. Weekends include parties and dancmg at Virgin bars
("bars" for teens where there
are bands, but no liquor is
served)."
All four students agreed that
Tremper 1s school policies are on
the strict side.
White reminisced, "Students
had almost total control, compared to almost no control
here!"
Changing schools was traumatic, but two things prevailed as
being the most difficult adjustment.
Jorkey
explained,
"The
weather, I think. Where I used
to live it is hot almost all the year
round. Winter is so cold here. I
may complain, but I love
snow!"
Bandle concluded, "Not knowing anyone, I felt really lonely.
Although I do like it here, my
heart will always be back in
California."

Twilight Zone than the Com·
mons.
Their image unfolded at last
year's junior class assembly. A
harsh verbal criticism was hurled
at a candidate for senior class
president by a rival candidate.
"When I left the junior class
assembly, I was in a state of
shock. The funny thing was
somehow I knew I would be
seeing more of it during my
senior year," stated senior Leo
Schellinger
The onslaught of the 1982·
1983 school year hectically
began as in previous years. The
only visible difference was the
good natured mercy bestowed by
seniors upon the gullible new
sophomores
From this admirable start the
seniors' abnormal antics began
occurring with more frequency.
The homecoming game rolled
around, and low and behold, the
senior float debuted. A virtual
desert island on wheels complete
with plastic pink flamingos, fake

some conservative traditional
ones. When music like Chubby
Checker and Elvis was put on
the turntable, remnants of the
past twisted across the gym.
These songs had not been played
for years. All the credit was
given to the seniors. While
moments such as those reassured
adults who questioned the morals
of students, this scene changed
without warning in the blink of an
eye. A new song was "cranked"
by a modern group such as the
Cars, and the whole atmosphere
changed. Bodies were seen
writhing on the floor as if in pain.
However, no gruesome injuries
were present, only some

palm trees and stolen sand that
had been bucketed illegally from
Eichleman Beach. Mr. Gary
Paulauskas, Student Activities
adviser, lamented, "This bunch
of seniors is one of the most
apathetic groups we've had in
recent years. There has to be
something wrong when senioritis
strikes during the first week of
school."
Mr. Paulauskas was not alone
in his opinion. A sharp decline in
the attendance and participation
handicapped the athletic pro·
gram this year. The bleachers
stayed bare at some events. In
the words of Mr. Kranen, "I am
aware of one special thing that
stood out for the graduating class
of 1983. They're not afraid to
have fun. The problem is that 1t
gets them in trouble. This tends
to keep me very busy."
Everyone knew the place to
"let go" was at a dance. How did
it feel to strut into Convenient
wearing only a bedsheet and
some olive leaves to purchase a
pack of gum to cover up the
smell of the night's activities?
Ask a senior on his way to a
dance. Unbelievably, this same
absurdity was committed wearing Hawaiian shirts, leis, suntan
oil and sunglasses in the middle
of November
The actual dance had its
carefree moments, along with

"crazies" doing the worm.
Before the close of first
semester, the graduating class
had branded their identity on the
desks. They would not be
forgotten by the teachers, nor
the juniors who would have to
out-do them next year. James
Wegerbauer, Senior Class President, nonchantly smirked, "For
seniors, this was the year of the
individual. It was a strange year,
and as Raul Duke once said,
'When the going gets weird, the
weird turn pro.' It was a time
when we, the senior class,
reflected as much as Mr
Paulaulauskas's bald spot. It was
to say the least, interesting."

Armed with water bombs, seniors Kris Schwartz and Jonathan Fox launch their attack
on the junior class float during September's Homecoming parade.

Festivals Color Seasons
Lucia, a ski holiday and
Midsummer are three distinctive
holidays celebrated in Finland
every year. These holidays are
unique for Scandinavia and are
not recogmzed in the United
States.
By lighting candles on
December 13, Lucia is celebrated as part of the Scandinavian
Christmas. A long time ago, on
the island of Sicily, a young girl
by the name of Lucia was burned
as a witch. Because she gave her
life for her Christian beliefs, the
Christian people of that time saw
her as a saint. Her memory has
been celebrated every year

since.
The Swedish speaking people
in Finland elect a "Lucia." Most
of the candidates are blond; the
17 to 20 year old girls are
evaluated on personality, willing·
ness to help other people and
singing talent.
On Lucia day, the girl rides
through town in an open car. In
front of her walk drummers, boys
with torches and three proud
musketeers on horses. Ending
the procession, Santa Claus rides
In his classic car, with all his little
elves.

Town Hall, where the mayor

host Sue Preston kick back anticipating the long "rught" ahead.

welcomes Christmas and the
choir sings Christmas songs. For
the next couple of weeks, the
Lucia visits hospitals and nursing
homes to sing and bring joy.
The schools also hold private
Lucia elections. A girl from the
graduating class is elected by the
students. The morning of
December 13 she walks around
school with candles in her hair,
bringing gingerbread and Christmas punch to the students. Lucia
illuminates Finland with a little
light and joy in the middle of the
cold and dark winter.
Compensating for the short
two day Easter break, students
in Finland get a one week ski
holiday from school in February.
The thick snow and the beautiful
weather draws many to the
mountains for cross-country and
downhill skiing.
Skiing, iceskating, horsebackriding and snowmobiling In the
forest occupy the time for those
who stay home. Some people
escape to the warm south of
Europe during the cold vacation.
Midsummer, the last of the
three unique Scandinavian
holidays, comes in the end of
June. It is the longest day of the
year; as a matter of fact, In the
northwest of Finland the sun
does not go down for the entire

night.
The towns are empty because
everyone travels to their summer
homes near the sea or by a lake.
Many of those people who do not
have a summer home to go to
amuse themselves at the dances
outside of town. There are live
bands, and people dance under
the open sky.
Midsummermght Is the night of
myths and dreams. It is said that
if one picks seven different kinds
of flowers after midnight, does
not say a word to anyone for the
rest of the night and sleeps with
the flowers under his pillow, he
will dream about the one he ).Viii
marry.
For those who do not believe
In fairytales, Midsummernlght Is
not for sleeping. It Is for sitting
on the rocks out at the sea,
watching the sun go down
toward the horizon. Just when
one thinks the sun begins to
touch the water it rises, and a
new morning starts again ..
"The:;e holidays come as a
welcome break in the daily
routine. The ski holiday gives us
extra time off school, and
Midsummer signals a change of
season and provides another
reason just to celebrate," concluded Finnish exchange student
Susanne Lundquist.

Past: Touching, Torturous
A few unabashed seniors
exposed their ego-crushing,
jubilant, and most vulnerable
moments of high school. A
standing ovation by the entire
cafeteria, including the lunchladies, greeted the "clutz"
feeding the floor, and later, the
crowd roared as a pounding
heart bolted down a sweatsoaked court to dunk the winning
basket. Memories linger as
constant reminders of high
school's carefree and often
cringing encounters.
A case of stage fright triggered Mary Banski's uncomfortable, and thus, unforgettable
experience. "I got up in front of
my sophomore English class ..to
recite a speech from Julius
Caesar and forgot every word. I
stood up there for the longest
minute and a half and then sat
down, telling Ms. Lee I would
take an F for the assignment "
Embarrassing situations are
not always kindled by nerves.
Some flare up in the midst of fun
and friends Chris Skowronski
somewhat reluctantly looked
back upon one rather weighty
incident. "My sophomore year, a
senior girl asked me to Sadie
Hawkins. She was a Daisy Mae
candidate so I was obligated to
carry her up to the front of the
86 Sincock·Smith

dance floor. Because she was
larger than I, it not only strained
my back, but my pride as well."
Occasionally, bright moments
peek out from behind the
drudgery of everyday schoolwork. When this happens, even
the most simple events can
highlight a person's year. Brad
McClure, a coach of the 1983
Powder Puff team, lightly refers
to the "most exciting time in my
life." It occurred in the course of
the 1982 Powder Puff game.
"Dunng one of the first plays of
the game, the quarterback
pitched the ball to Brenda
Schutz, who sprinted all the way
down that •!@# field for a
touchdown I"
For some students, receiving
an honor or a compliment on a
job well done culminates all the
years of hard work and dedication. Jeff Dreher recalled the
moment which overwhelmed
him. "When Mr. Bradley informed me that I was Tremper's
candidate for Holy Rosary's
Athlete of the Year, I was at a
loss for words. Starting out as a
slow J.V. runner, I worked my
way up with intense training,
pushing myself to my limit. It's
a feeling I'll never forget and an
honor that will stay with me for
the rest of my life."

Some of the most innocent
actions inadvertantly draw attention to themselves. John Wieske
relived his amusing escapade
"During Varsity Show last year,
John Oberpriller and I went to
Open Pantry for some pop while
we had time between performances. We were wearing our
jazz band costumes which consisted of bed sheets sown into
Roman togas with olive wreaths
crowning our heads, and sandles
strapped to our feet. The looks

on people's faces made it truly
memorable."
Being a senior creates two
emotions. Sheer happiness unfurls, for after twelve years of
imprisonment, freedom at last!
However, a touch of sadness
dampens the revelry because it's
all over but the crying.
Ursula Rojina summed up,
"Yeah, Tremper, you helped me
swallow a lot of aspirins, but it's
been great!"

Enduring strange looks at Open Pantry, John Oberpriller and John Wieske break
between variety show performances to quench their thrist.

A Summer with the 'Kids'
"The 'Kids' are a classy
troupe of teenage performers
who sing and dance their hearts
out for audiences throughout the
state. I was especially proud of
the Tremper kids that were
involved," commented Mr.
Romano, an avid fan of the
"Kids from Wisconsin."
In early December, a vocal or
instrumental audition tape was
submitted by high school and

college students for judgement
by Col Mark Azzolina, music
director of "Kids " Applicants
passing tape auditions were
invited to appear in Milwaukee
for an audition and interview by
members of the "Kids from
Wisconsin" staff in mid-January.
Demonstrating stage personality
and choreography aptitude were
required of candidates at the
time of the audition Physical

At the Wisconsin State Fair, Kim Goff and Keith Bouterse harmonize with the "Kids"
to tlie Broadway muslca' "I Like Your Style."

attractiveness and engaging
personalities also were basic
criteria. About 200 people were
selected from around 800 tape
auditions, and only a select few
made the 32 member group.
In mid-June, Tremper seniors
Kim Goff and Keith Bouterse as
well as Tremper graduates Kevin
Larsen, Rhonda Sjoerdsma and
Linda Stroobosscher began an
intensive training camp two and
a half weeks at the Wisconsin
State Fair Grounds They started
with a morning jog at 7:00 a.m.
followed by breakfast. Then the
rest of the morning evaporated
in choral rehearsal. After lunch,
dance rehearsal consumed the
afternoon hours During the
evening, the "Kids" were busy
with integrated choral and dance
rehearsals.
After the first week at camp
the "Kids" held a talent show for
the other group members, parents and friends. The final night
at the camp the young artists ran
their first show, dressed in
costumes furnished by the staff.
The performing season lasted
from mid-June until Labor Day.
They appeared specifically in
Wisconsin and for cities that
issued invitations. The "Kids"
also were featured at the
Wisconsin State Fair August

5-15, comprising a total of 72
shows.
Traditionally, a medley of
contemporary swing and poprock music complete the "Kids"
repertoire. Tom Terrien from
Madison choreographed their
dance routine, and Kurt Chalgren directed their choral arrangements.
Keith Bouterse and Kim Goff,
the only members from Tremper
this year, could find only one
negative aspect. "'Kids' is a
great experience, but it is very
time consuming. It takes up the
whole summer vacation, but it is
worth it," stated Keith.
"'Kids' was more than just
performing. We made so many
people happy by sharing a
special part of us with them
through our music. I learned a
great amount of responsibility In
cooperating, performing and
living with 30 other people. But,
I think the most rewarding thing
was the wonderful, lasting friendships I gained," remarked Kim
Goff.
Exposure to the professional
world of music by meeting
rigorous travel schedules, exhausting rehearsals and demands
of the public rally increasing
numbers to audition for a
summer with the "Kids."

Qualms of Sweaty Palms
Dating in 1983 doesn't mean
hoopskirts, greased back hair or
sock-hops, nor does it mean
protesting the war or saving the
whales. Rather, it is a more
complex system of prairie
blouses, tux-like pants, polo
shirts, and movies and fast food.
Today's teens no longer "go
steady;" instead they "go
together" or just plain "go out,"
but just as it was twenty or thirty
years ago, this all starts with the
first date.
Everyone has experienced the
anxiety of the first date. Often
the most difficult part about
initiating the first date is the
phone call, traditionally made by
the guy.
Answering the phone to an
unusually deep voice, senior
Laura Cygan said she immediately wonders, "Is this a joke? Did

someone set him up? Is this going
to be just a one night deal?"
More agonizing than the phone
call is the week before a first
date. "The time between the day
he asks me out and the day we
go out seems to drag on forever.
I try to plan my time, but I'm so
nervous it never seems to help,"
commented senior Bobbi Peterson.
Both sexes are susceptible to
indecision and clumsiness. The
smallest pebble can send either
party reeling when nerves are on
edge.
Senior Gary Sentieri admitted,
"I sweat a lot, and I'm real
nervous. I get ready really early
and then sit there and get
scared. I do a lot of things twice
like brushing my teeth. Once I
was so nervous I shaved twice."
As any guy will attest, even

club activities such as the French cl1..b's fondue party.
2. Taking advantage of Tuesday night buck night at the Cinemas, Jon Edwards
and Carm Johnson ponder the movie bills, deciding on "Best Friends."

the easy things like picking up
the date become difficult,
especially when faced with the
date's father for the first time.
Questions about plans after high
school, jobs and "honorable"
intentions zip through a guy's
mind as he knocks on the door.
A movie and dinner comprise
the usual first date. The Cinema
5 was popular among teenagers,
because of variety and Saturday
and Friday night late shows.
Junior Kim Buckley laughed,
"No matter how uncomfortable I
become, I sit in the same position
all through the night with my
hand on my knee, waiting and
hoping he'll hold it. I try to
imagine what he's thinking, but
he appears to be really interested in the show."
The same thing is going
through the guy's mind. "Usually

I take her to a comedy. While
watching the show, I want to hold
her hand or put my arm around
her, but then I'm afraid if I do
she'll be mad," remarked sophomore Phil Schiavi.
The evening's close highlights
any date. Both the girl and guy
wait in anticipation. "I feel kind
of awkward. I want him to kiss
me, but I don't want it to be a
big deal," concluded senior Kim
Dill beck.
Both girls and guys experienced similiar anxieties on the
first date. Sweaty palms and
queasy stomachs are characteristic of nervous couples out
together for the first time. Each
believes the other is calm and at
ease, yet each experiences the
same feelings. Just remember,
every married couple once had
a first date.

Center Line
The class of '84 casually
strolled down the center line of
status, obstacles detouring floatbuilding, fund raisers, and of
course, Prom.
Aspiring to the theme "Technically the Best," the junior class
clustered to attack "Tech Invaders," a warp speed version of
a class float. Weeks of preparation in Katy Girman' s garage did
not repel the 4th place finish.
"We put a lot of effort into our
float, but the night before the
parade, it was mutilated by the
tree
branches
in
Katy's
driveway," explained Cindi Stec.
Eight hundred dollars rewarded the class's two dances,
September 10 and January 9, to
build a solid foundation for Prom
1983, "Mystical Moments."
Veered to the shoulder, the Jr

class programmed a computer
dating service during the valentine season. Five hundred
revealed their inner-most desires
in 32 multiple choice questions.
Two weeks later, "ten most
compatible" lists were released
for $1.25. The monetary output
from computer dating, and
candy and bake sales rounded
out the Prom budget to $2500.
As the sounds of "Magic" and
"Datillo" drifted over a "poto-gold," rainbows and unicorns
roamed an enchanted forest, and
lay to rest upon a majestic castle
"After three month of set building and working every day of
Easter vacation, I was impressed
by the total effect the night of
Prom," concluded Jack Bornhuetter.

Struts to State
Riding high, Karen sits proud
in the saddle. A roar from the
crowd comes as her name is
announced. Karen Michaelis is
dressed tn white pants, a white
silk shirt highlighted with black
ruffles, black gloves and hat. She
begins to ride her horse Gwenivere around the ring for the
judges to view. Her horse's
silver-studded martingale shoots
back glimmers of light.
Throughout the year, Karen
rides and shows Gwenivere and
her other show horse Drex Cash
Bares in fairs all around the area.
Both Drex and Gwernvere are
registered quarterhorses. "Drex
performs well in local shows.
However, I show Gwenivere in
the bigger competitions," said
Karen. Karen has traveled to
many different cities for all
different caliber shows hke
Wilmot, Racine, Madison, and
Springrove, Illinois. Most of these
horse shows are sponsored by
4-H, but some are sponsored by
private horse clubs.
At the age of seven, Karen's
father bought her her first pony,
and Karen became very attached to the pony. "I liked Mica
very much. That 1s why I
practiced a couple hours a day
with him. When I bought Gwen1vere, I practiced about three to

four hours a day with her,"
explained Karen.
Competition for Karen began
m the fourth grade, and through
the help of her parents and
friends, she became very skilled
at riding and parading her horses
for the <>hows. Over the years
she has accumulated hundreds of
first place trophies and blue
ribbons
Her most recent awards
include the 4-H sportsmanship
award, showmanship awards and
pleasure awards from the various competitions.
Most of these awards are
garnered by point totals at the
shows. The criteria for judging is
based upon Western showmanship where the nder exhibits the
horse and 1s judged. In horsemanship class, the rider 1s
judged on rider control while
pleasure points are won by horse
response to commands and cues.
Karen won blue ribbons in all
three of these categories at the
1982 county fair and made
herself eligible for state competition. There she won three more
blue ribbons, one in each
category, and was awarded
Reserve Champ of the state.
Forty-five contestants were in the
running for the Reserve Champ
award

In these competitions, the
more experience the better.
"Experience helps a great deal.
Even if you're not experienced
and don't win, it is still fun
because it's not something you
have to be pushed into. I also like
the challenge," Karen said.
Karen shares both the drudgery and the thrill of competition
with junior Liz Park. Liz goes to
all the shows with Karen, helping
feed, wash and brush Gwenivere
or Drex for competition.

Karen must ready herself as
well for the show by putting
fancy western clothes on. "l
usually wear Lee jeans and a
cowboy shirt for the smaller
shows, but for the bigger shows
I wear chaps or white pants, a
satin shirt, hat and gloves,"
explained Karen.
Not only is the competition
exhilerating, but the comradery
of the other horse lovers is an
added bonus for Karen.

attempt at registering and a
sampling of the "fine cuisine"
which was to be considered food
for the next seven days, the band
and colorguard filed out to the
practice field to begin one of the
longest, most grueling weeks of
their lives.
"I spent the entire week at
band camp with mixed emotions.
I was either confused, aggravated, frustrated, or most of all,
ready to go home," reflected
colorguard pike, Laura Cope.
"Each day we endured four
lengthy hours out on the drill
field with only a one hour break
for lunch No matter what the
weather, we then dragged ourselves back to the practice field
for another four hours, that
96 Halvorsen · Hoppenjan

seemed more like four years, of
monotonous repetitions of drill
work with only the somewhat
motivating idea of dinner to look
forward to. After d.nner, we
continued our practice until it got
so dark we couldn't even see."
"At times it became very
repetitive Occasionally it took us
two hours to learn 64 counts,"
stated colorguard sergeant Julie
Riese 64 counts comprised only
45 seconds of performance time.
After the first day on the field,
agonizing moans and groans became a major part of most conversations. Even though everyone was exhausted, stiff and
crabby after the tedious practice,
the nights were spent gathering
in the courtyard, socializing in
the dorms with friends, calling
home to cry to mom and dad
about how horrible camp was or
polishing and perfecting the drill
inside the campus field house.
By the end of the week, the
instructors' voices were gone,
and their patience had long
before diminished. Instructors
ignored the grieving students
whose lips were split from
endless practicing, fingers were
blistered and sunburns were
beginning to peel and itch. The
threat of "food poisoning" also

had become closer to reality In
the imagination of every bands·
man after each visit to the
cafeteria.
"No matter how hard we tried
or how much we improved, we
were forever being yelled at and
instructed to start all over,"
attested Jill Ryan, colorguard
rifle.
Finally, the interminable week
of band camp drew to a close.
Beginning the day after camp,
the band was faced with numerous bus rides, unending practices
in the hot sun or mosquito
infested hours of sunset, sleeping
on gym floors in strange towns,
gulping down hamburgers at

McDonalds or coming home from
competitions at three o'clock in
the morning.
After a grueling band camp
and a summer vacation of travel
to performances, it would seem
to many that with all of the
complaints about the hard work,
inconveniences and somewhat
farce diet, that many people
would quit. Yet, the pride and
enthusiasm that accompanied
each spectacular show overshadowed the trying moments
and gave nothing but the positive
stimuli needed to draw at least
180 students to JOin the Band of
the Black Watch next year.

As the final day of camp draws to a close, the Black Watch percussion section
anxiously awaits instructions for the last 64 counts of the drill.

Finn Heats Up
The Finnish sauna tradition
is something I miss here. It is
an age old tradition, and
nobody knows exactly when
the first sauna was put up on
the lakeshores in Finland.
Besides keeping clean, the
sauna was used for smoking
food, giving birth and some·
times for laying out the dead .
Nowadays almost every
home has a sauna; it 1s a part
of the Finnish way of life. I
enjoy the sauna most during
the coldest time of the year,
between the months of
November and March. Coming
in from the cold and the snow
of the Finnish winter, nothing
feels better than half an hour
in the warm sauna; it makes
me feel so clean and relaxed .
Many countries, including
the U.S., have mcorporated
the sauna into their lifestyles.
Still, there are many differences between taking a sauna
bath here or over in Finland
One of these things is that in
America people usually wear a
towel or a bathing suit in the
sauna. In Finland we do not
wear anything, because going
to the sauna Is usually a family
event that we share together.
Two years ago I already had

decided that I wanted to come
to the States Because I graduated in 1982, I wanted to go
to America before I started my
new school I chose Kenosha
because Sue Preston, who
lived with my family last year,
wanted me to come over and
experience her culture as well.
It took much paperwork
before I was ready to be an
exchange student. Being spon·
sored by my Rotary Club, I
had to answer many questions,
update my passport and get
American insurance. When I
sent for my visa, I forgot to
sign the papers in one place.
Unfortunately, I had to send
them in twice, but I was out
in good time. It was not any
rush.
I knew in January that my
papers were ready, Kenosha
was going to be "my" town,
and the Preston's my first
family. Then the spring went
fast, and suddenly I was
leaving for America. Saying
farewell to friends and family
was not easy, but I did not
realize then that I actually was
leaving for an entire year.
Unexpectedly many things
are the same here as in Finland. Yet, coming from a small

town, Kenosha seems huge.
I like my new school, even
though I find the most differ·
ences here. The discipline in
American schools Is more strict
than in Finland. We are able
to move about and walk as we
like.
The electives in America
are new to me. In Finmsh
schools, most of our schedule
is already settled, and we only
get to choose a few things, like
woodwork, music, art and
cooking. In that way, Amer·
ican schools are better.
Another nice thing is that
most young people here dnve
a car. As a result, one is able
to go almost anywhere, with·
out problems. The age to get
a drivers license in Finland is
18. Because of this, we stay in
town most of the time.
Dating is something un·
known to Finnish people . If we
do not go steady, then the
relationship is only friends.
Here the guys pay for every
thing if they ask a girl out.
Being a girl I would like it, but
I think it is a little unfair. In
my town young people do not
usually begin working before
they graduate; therefore, each
pays for his own entertain-

by Susanne Lundquist

ment.
We have dances almost
every week throughout the
year usually located outside
town. We go in big groups and
need no date If we do not go
to the dances or to the movies,
we just stand on "the corner"
downtown. Someone usually
passes by in a car, and then
we go "cruisin'."
Watching TV seems to be a
big part of the American life.
We do not have as many
stations Here it is so easy to
be lazy and sit in front of the
TV all day instead of going out
for some fresh air.
American and Finnish food
though is basically the same,
but the spices are very
different. We do not have
Mexican food at all . Scandinavian food is probably
healthier; not as much grease
is used. Dark bread, vegetables, potatoes, fish, Karelian
pie and yogurt deliciously
satisfy our appetites.
Everyday I learn more and
more, and it 1s very exciting.
Some say I lose a year by
coming here, but I feel I have
won a year and an irreplaceable experience.

Off the Wall
Ignoring the sweat that runs
down his body, the face of Bill
Broesch is a picture of total
concentration. Bill belongs as
much to racquetball as the game
belongs to him
Bill took up the racquet at the
age of twelve. He was in·
traduced to the sport by his
father, who is also into the
racquetball scene As for why he
began playing, Bill said, "I was
looking for something to do, and
racquetball seemed like a challenge. Since the rules are
basically simple, it is easy to
play, but once you get into more
advanced levels, strategies are
harder to master."
As a novice, Bill became
active in two leagues, one at the
KYF and one at the Kenosha
Racquetball Club. At the present
time, Bill still competes in these
leagues and in his spare time. All
this court time means Bill puts in
about twelve hours a week
pounding the wall. To be good,
a player must gain a second
sense of the ball's direction off
angles and speed response.
Another must in the game of
racquetball is good equipment.
This, to Bill Broesch, is a 250
gram Eketlon racquet, a pair of
Nike racquetball shoes, a glove
for a better grip and loose fitting

shorts and shirts for better
mobility.
"I feel that good equipment
adds to my performance. Everything I need on the court comes
to about $200.00, but I feel it is
worth the investment. It is possible though, to enjoy the game
without spending a great deal of
money."
All these ingredients spell out
tournament, and Bill is no
newcomer. He played in his first
tournament at the age of thirteen
where he won the consolation
prize. This was no discouragement to Bill though. Playing
in another four tournaments
increased his skill level until
finally he scored his first major
win, first place in class B at the
Turkey Shoot Tournament held
at the Kenosha Racquetball Club
in 1982. Bill's strategy for
winning is simple "I get out
there and play my best. If I don't
win, it just makes me want to try
harder next time."
Bill's love of the game spans
beyond time on the court. "I plan
to keep on practicing and
playing until I can't walk any·
more." When asked why he
dedicates all this time to racquetball, he quickly repLed, "I love
the competition and the thrill of
winning."

Jane Steel watches for signals from her coach to steal third.

Stealing away from the usual
summer boredom, many people
gather at the city parks to watch
or play a game of softball.
Although softball can be a
demanding and grueling sport, it
is one of the most popular
summer sports. One has to be
good with a glove, swing a
"mean stick" and know the fine
points of the game.
Softball in Kenosha used to be
called "Kittenball." It was
played in gym with a ball filled
with rags. Softball first came into
Kenosha about seventy years
ago.
People in Kenosha have kept
the game thriving. Softball
fanatics follow certain teams
throughout the summer. They
travel wherever the team
travels. Because of the different
calibers of competition, usually
the better teams such as Oriental
Inn, Stanich I, and Finneys are
the favorites of these people.
Tremper has contributed its
share of players hke Jeff Rusk,
Bnan Jansen, Greg Fraid and
Brad Breiling. Even casual fans
have a good time "I didn't know
much of the background of
softball, but after watching just
a few games, I became somewhat of an addict, not to mention
somewhat of a critic," commented Jerry Gilbertson.

Xebron and Valeri Insurance
are teams formed by Tremper
students. Dave May from Xebron
stated, "We thought we'd have
a pretty good team, and putting
on spikes in May makes a guy
feel like summer has finally
come."
Playing softball in the summer
is popular among girls as well as
guys. A few girls play for some
of the stronger teams in the city
and have traveled as far as
Florida for the World Tournament The World Tournament
consists of about sixty teams
from all over the nation. "Taking
third in the World Tournament
was a big thrill for me, and I
hope next year we might win this
tournament," related Judy
Sosbe of Precision Erecting.
All summer long, fans flock to
the parks to watch a friendly
game of softball, yet sometimes
when the pressure is on and the
tension builds, the game can turn
into a bench-clearing braw:. With
the help of city umpires, most
games are kept well under
control. Grand slams and double
plays more often stir up the
softball fever.
When the last home run is hit
and the last balls and strikes
called, fans and players mingle
for easy, summer relaxation at
pools, and favorite spots.

Snowed Out
Bzzz ... "Come on and wake
up now, it's time to shake a leg
and get up ... " Suddenly, Mr.
Rogers was interrupted by an
important weather bulletin. All
schools in the Kenosha Unified
School District were to be closed
due to the severe weather
conditions.
Snow days usually give kids a
chance to complete their
homework assignments while
watching their favorite soaps. "I
usually sleep until noon, then get
up and watch three or four
soaps," said Sue Stec. Many
people also take advantage of
this unexpected vacation to
escape to Wilmont or Petts for
some skiing and tobogganing or
just to go over to a friend's house
to eat and bum around.
Some of the more ambitious
individuals use this day to make
some extra money by shoveling
people's driveways and sidewalks. "I can usually make up to
fifty or sixty dollars in a day if
I work in the right neighborhoods," commented Mike Lindsay. Big bucks can be made if
one is willing to sacrifice the time
and the energy of this chore.
The Kenosha Unified School
District stipulates that school
days missed due to inclement
weather conditions be made up.
104 Swoboda · Ulrey

These intolerable conditions are
usually due to gusty winds, high
drifts, and severe blizzards.
One doesn't get something for
nothing. Those who play must
pay. Snow days must be made
up, usually at the end of the
year It will then be the students'
penance, for they know they will
be sitting in class looking wistfully out the window at the
leaves on the trees, feeling the
warm breeze wafting through the
windows, wishing that gloomy
day in January had never
ha ened. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __

Stepping Up
With the arrival of the new
school year, the sophomore class
of '85 found themselves struggling once again at the bottom of
the class ladder. In an effort to
renounce the "soph" image,
they took on the task of
assembling the first class float.
During the five weeks of preparation, the sophomore class
gathered in Tncia Hendricksen's
garage to stuff white and purple
crepe paper, and, more importantly, to come together as a
class. With the theme, "Trojans
are Technically the Best," the
sophomores programmed a calculator printout to display enthusiasm for a homecoming victory,
although the float placed fifth.
"I was really discouraged at
our finish in the competition, but
I knew things would get better,"
stated Micki Peltier.

The December 18 bake sale
included twelve dozen delicacies·
brownies, cookies and chocolate
chip bars. This and the sophomore sock hop on November 19
contributed $300 to class funds.
The prom clean-up awakened
the sophomores in the wee hours
of the morning from peaceful
slumber. "I awoke at 7:00 in the
morning, knowing the sooner we
had everything cleaned up, that
it would be the last time I'd have
to clean up after upper classmen," Mike Lindsay said laughingly.
This last project brought
sophomores one step closer to
the top of the ladder. As they
sloughed sophomore labels and
donned anticipated titles of
junior class, sophomores were
freed of the chains of homeroom
during senior week June 6·9.

Racquet
Sweat, aching muscles, the intensity of break point to falter In
defeat or triumph in victory, all
of these sophomore Beth Barden
has experienced through tennis.
Beth first put a racquet In her
hand at age seven with the encouragement of her mother. Four
years with the State League
T ennls team of the Kenosha
Country Club and two years with
the Kenosha Towne Club Tennis
team have seasoned Beth with
the valuable experience she
needed to compete on her own.
By the tender age of 15, she
was ranked 8th in singles and

2nd in doubles in Wisconsin. She
has ventured to tournaments not
only in Milwaukee, Madison,
Appleton and Lacrosse, but also
to Lansing, Michigan, and Lexington, Kentucky, as well as to
the Chicago-Metro Area. In most
tournaments, Beth has progressed as far as the quarter or
semi-finals and has captured first
place nine times.
Beth reflected on her various
achievements, "Success to me is
a rewarding feeling of satisfaction, knowing what my goals are
in life and doing my very best to
accomplish them."

Slamming a forehand smash, Beth Barden volleys to victory over Milwaukee Tech

Competitors
Many factors have cdntributed
to Beth's success. Repetitive
practice and hard work are the
most basic, yet also the most
essential ingredients In Beth's
career. Her love for the game
enables her to continue pushing
herself through the off-days.
"When I lose to other girls, I
practice even harder for when I
play them the next time," remarked Beth, adding, "If a person enjoys what she is doing, she
will give 110% to the sport."
Though her two brothers and
mother are also Involved In
tennis, Beth is the only one who
has competed seriously. Yet her
family has played an important
part in her accomplishments.
"My father and mother have
taken the time to accompany me
and to give me the support I
need to do the very best I can,"
she commented.
Beth also gives credit to Coach
Henry Thurman, who, she said,
"has helped me to get where I
am today." She acquired him as
her personal coach three years
ago. Among the many thmgs he
has taught her are good court
sense and strategy.
"I just keep my opponent running and mix up my game for
every player. I have learned to
take tennis very seriously when

I am out on the court," stated
Beth.
She does experience some
nervousness prior to a match. In
order to psych herself up, Beth
said, "I keep reminding myself
that my opponent is just a
person too, and she can get
beat." She referred to the
Milwaukee Conference Championship Finals in particular. "I
was uptight before going on, but
once I got out there playing, I
lost that tightness."
Tendonitis in her right wrist
requires Beth to wear a wristwrap whenever she plays. However, this does not hamper her
powerful 92 m p.h. serve or her
overall game.
"I hope tennis will open many
doors for me In the future,"
commented Beth. She plans to
compete in college and has
ready received information from
schools in Florida, Texas and
New York about tennis programs.
To Beth Barden, tennis is
much more than just hitting a
ball over a net. It Is a form of
self-d1sc1pline, a means of keeping fit and a way to meet new
people. "I have learned good
sportsmanship and to respect
others no matter what their
ability is," she concluded.

Excuuuse Me
Everyone at one time or
another has had to make up an
excuse to cover a late arrival.
For some people, this is easier
said than done. The typical guy
who is late to school tries to get
out of it by saying he missed the
bus; now that's boring. This
person usually just gets an "oh,
sure" look from his teacher and
an unexcused absence. A more
creative individual would explain
to his first hour teacher that he
was attacked by a swarm of
killer bees, forcing him to run all
the way to the arcade to seek out
shelter. For his imaginative
endeavor, he will probably
receive a pink invitation to speak
with Mr. Kranen.
Some excuses can be extremely interesting. The most fictitious
ones usually cover late arrivals
and are used in 109. From the
lips of 109's favorite disciplinarian, Mr. Kranen, comes a list of
the most unbelievable excuses
encountered.
A girl who was late to school
told her teacher she was late
because a dog had chased her
into a mud puddle. Because her
dress was muddy, she had to run
home and change into something
else. After putting on a new
skirt, she accidently tore that one

on the way out the door.
Another all time classic happened to a student here at
school. As his brother was
driving him to school, the car
they were in jammed in reverse.
They then proceeded to drive
the last mile to school backwards, taking side streets all the
way. The student assured Mr.
Kranen that they were lucky that
the rear-view mirror worked.
One of the most amusing
excuses that turned up was one
given by a sophomore for being
late to his next class. The
sophomore was getting dressed
in the locker room after gym
class; he accidently locked his
pant leg in another guy's locker.
The guy who owned the locker,
being a wise guy, refused to
reveal the combination and took
off to class. The poor kid had to
wait in disbelief while others
searched for the right combination. Now that is a valid reason
for arriving late to class.
109 has heard them all, every
excuse imaginable or even
fathomable. Warning: It is not
advisable to reuse these excuses
because they are used. There is
no excuse for an old excuse. A
new excuse then has no excuse
for not being excused.

Senior Cheryl Baetz is offered a talking "Invitation" to 109 from Mr Duesterbeck.

With disdain, disciplinarian Mr. Kranen eyes another referral Issued to a student, whose
excuse was unimaginative and Inexcusable.

Griffin Keys
"Careers In music are, at best,
difficult Although most occupations are specialized in only one
area, being a musician Is playing
a classical concert, then going
around to play rock or jazz gigs
on weekends. It is hard to get
anywhere if a musician just
concentrates on one type of
music. He almost has to be a
specialist in everything, and
many people are surprised when
they find out the work and
dedication it takes to be a
musician," explained mstrumen
talist Pat Griffin.
Dunng his freshman year, Pat
took part in the Chopin Piano
Contest, a competition among
Kenosha students in junior high

through college. Capturing first
place and receiving a check for
two-hundred dollars, Pat was the
first ninth grader ever to wm
"Even though I never get
nervous, I do run through the
piece once before I compete,"
stated Griffin.
Being eligible for a third gold
cup from the Shubert Competition is an important achievement
for Pat. It was his first competition at the age of seven, and he
still participates in it. He has also
engaged In the District SoloEnsemble Contest in which he
has obtained superb rank in both
piano and horn This enabled Pat
to go to the State contest where
he also received superior ratings

Harmony
Considering piano to be his
major instrument and French
horn to be his minor, Pat excels
in the mustc field. Inspired by his
sister and brothers' musical
abilities, he has been playing
piano and performing at numerous contests and concerts since
the age of seven. Pat rendered
his own personal piano recital
when he was fourteen at The
Manor House. He performed at
three consecutive Wisconsin
Music Club conventions and
accompanied the Snap-on Male
Chorus for five years. In addition
to appearing for organizations
such as the Women's Club, Sub
Junior and the Junior and Senior
Shubert clubs, he has taken part
in five variety shows at Lance
and Tremper, and In the musical
program "Shows-A-Peppin."
Year round activities include
playmg in a rock band at
weddings and dances, attending
music clubs, accompanying singers or musicians, taking lessons
on horn and piano and practicing
many hours.
Jazz is another area in which
Pat excels. Being self taught in
voice and jazz, he plays piano for

Tremper Blue Jazz Ensemble
and has taken part in three years
of OW-Parkside Professor Tim
Bell's summer jazz program.
Music appreciation, coordination of hands and feet and a
feeling for rhythm are a few
assets Pat has gained, but the
most important is an "ear for
music." Pat explains, "It is
formed when a person is young
by how one listens to music and
what variety he listens to. Having
this sense means knowing if a
piece of literature is of good
quality. It enables me to imagine
music instead of just listen to it.
This, in turn, enables me to hear
coordmation and rhythm."
Pat reflected on the basis of his
passion, "The reason I like music
is because it is very challenging
and exciting. Most occupations
are very definite in training or
work. I enjoy playing because it
lets me express my feelings to
others and 1s almost as effective
as a language. My future will be
based on music and musical
instruments because I do enjoy
playing and composing on them
and I will most ltkely excel m
whatever I take pleasure."

During a Blue Jazz rehearsal, Pat Griffin polishes up a few rusty measures by repeatedly
rehearsing "Over and Over" for an upcoming performance.

I woke with a start and felt a
tremendous weight on my face.
When I opened my eyes, I saw
complete blackness. My first
thought was, "I've gone blind!"
While thoughts of never again

through my mind, my hands flew

the clock, which read 6:52.
With only 8 minutes to get

landed flat on my face. Muttering

French
"When my French family and
I went on vacation to Normandie,
my French father drove approximately 110 mph. The average
highway speed is 90 mph. The
best highway in France, at most,
has only two lanes," commented
Chan Tran. The fast speed at
which the French drive was a
cultural clash that stunned Chan
when he spent July 2-31, 1982,
in Angers, France, southwest of
Paris.
Sparked by his French class in
school, Chan's interest grew as
he heard more and more of the
trip. "My teacher told us about
the North Atlantic Cultural

Exchange League (NACEL). It's
an organization that takes groups
of students from different states
in the U.S. to France and finds
them French families to live
with," explained Chan.
After filling out an application
from NACEL, Chan learned that
the exchange required not only
interest, but also effort and
money. "I attended meetings in
Madison, although they were
also held in Chicago. We were
informed that the cost of the trip
would be $900 for the plane
ticket plus any extra spending
money."
Chan flew from O'Hare air-

port in Chicago to Orly airport
in Paris. "It was a very exciting
plane trip," said Chan, "but also
very tiring. After 9 hours on the
plane, I was glad to finally land
m Paris." When they reached
the ground, the students were
divided into groups according to
what part of France they were
traveling to.
Chan boarded a bus to
Angers, where the Giroux family
picked him up at the city square.
Accompanying the mother and
father were their two boys,
Cristoff, 5, and Stephane, 14. "I
was really impressed by their
generosity and hospitality. Every
night after dinner we'd sit and
talk about different things like
our governments or our different
cultures. Sometimes we'd play
games. They really made me feel
at home," Chan commented.
The Giroux family extended
special entertainment to Chan,
like a vacation to Blonville,
Normandie. "French vacations
are pretty much the same as
American vacations. We swam
at the beach, wind surfed and
played Bocci-ball, which Is a
game that Is like lawn bowling,"
related Chan.
Whtie sightseeing, Chan discovered that along with the usual
museums and parks, castles also

enchanted France's countryside.
"At the Chateaux D' Angers, an
ancient castle, a famous tapestry
from the 14th century called
"The Apocalypse Tapestry"
really impressed me," Chan
remarked. Among these educational experiences, Chan took
time out to relax. Like their
American counterparts, Chan's
"family" relaxed by horsebackriding, swimming in the Atlantic
Ocean and shopping.
The French meals also varied
Chan's routine Courses are
served in specific order so as not
to mix tastes. Breads, wines,
salad, and cheeses are designed
to cleanse the palate. The
French drink wine for every meal
except breakfast Most children
drink wine as well. Also, there
are different cheeses for every
meal. "The French claim there is
a different cheese for every day
of the year," explained Chan.
"It was one of the most
exciting experiences of my hfe.
I'll never forget becoming a part
of another culture, even if 1t was
only temporary. The trip heightened my interest in the French
language and culture. I believe
the trip helped me to grow and
accept other customs and
ideas," concluded Chan.

Reader Rescue
Finding Mr. Lawler in room 231
has become an unlikely search due to
an addition to the curriculum. Mr.
Lawler's former room has been
converted into "The Reading Lab,"
with Mrs. Lucille Carstensen presiding.
"After requesting a reading lab for
fifteen years, we are especially pleased.
This lab provides help for slow readers
and readers below grade level, as well
as offering power and speed reading
classes for advanced students. Thus,
the lab can help students of all
abilities," explained Mr. Terry Lawler,
co-chairperson of the English department.
A week before school began, the
Kenosha Unified District informed Mrs.
Carstensen that she would be coordinator of the Reading Program at
Tremper. She had been employed by
the district as the reading teacher at
Washington Jr. High; however, she has
divided her time between Washington
and Tremper. She was at Tremper on
Wednesday afternoons, Thursdays and
Fridays. Both fifth and seventh hours
were reserved for speed readers.
"The need for some continuity was
evident if students were expected to
change their habits, and often the one
shot deal proved itself inadequate,"
Mrs. Carstensen explained about the
three day schedule.
With the program being optional,
teachers were able to recommend
students to study in the lab center, or
students were able to seek help on their

own time. Through the use of machines
and practice in reading sample
materials, Mrs. Carstensen searched for
the root of individual reading problems.
The machines aided students to grasp
main ideas. With a set pace to read
material, students became more
aquainted with that material. Rereading
the piece was eliminated. Speed
readers also found the faster pace of
the reading machines useful. Not all
problems Mrs. Carstensen faced dealt
with grasping main ideas; others
originated in vocabulary problems and
retention.
"Some of our students are
dropping out (of high school) due to low
reading ability. Having staff available
makes it possible for students to seek
and receive help," offered Mrs.
Carstensen.
Since speed reading courses have
been offered only at colleges, this
course offered to high school students
proved itself popular with some thirty
students signing up in the first three
weeks. The number increased as the
year continued. "I was going to sign up
for a speed reading class at GT!; having
this available at Tremper made things
run a lot smoother in my schedule,"
commented Paul Huxhold, senior.
With students actively desiring to
improve skills and comprehension,
"The Reading Place" became a lively
room. Mrs. Carstensen offered motivation, and students improved abilities.

A Cut Above
The thrill of victory is like none
other on earth. The ecstacy that the act
of winning stimulates cannot be
described only felt. Eclipsing the simple
act of a triumph is the knowledge that
a person is the best at a chosen
endeavor.
One swimmer, three forensics
members and the Classic staff have all
savored the sweet taste of victory.
Bob Ward's thrilling conquest in
the 100 yard freestyle was the sole
athletic state championship during
'82-'83. Since beginning thirteen years
ago, Ward has swum in an estimate five
thousand yards a day, five days per
week to tally 16,900,000 yards swam
to strengthen the stamina and skill of
a State champ.
After three years of top ten
finishes, but never a first, Ward sliced
the competition for a state championship in the 100 yard freestyle event.
" I made a mistake which cost me
the 50 yard race," said Ward, "After
that, I did not want to end my high
school career with another mistake in
timing. I put it all together for one last
shot at a state title."
At Madison, the support from
Kenosha had mixed effects.
"My friends were so confident in
me. They thought I couldn't lose. The
burden of that responsibility was almost
scary, but it's great to feel that
backing," related Ward.
However, Trojans attained other
laurels in the quest for recognition.
Rolling through regionals and sectionals, senior Kathy Rasch and juniors
John Lovell and Donna Erickson began
a "Sherman's march" to Madison. Each
of the Forensics trio sported in "A"
rating at the April 24 State meet.
Lovell tallied in Extemporaneous
Speaking, Rasch, in Storytelling, and
Erikson, in Four-Minute Speech.
"I was nervous after I spoke,"
commented Rasch, "the judge said she
did not believe in giving A's, but I guess
I earned it."
Awards are not the only benefits
to be reaped from Forensics. "I feel I
can speak publicly with a little more
confidence and create a better image
of myself," added Rasch.

The 1981-82 Classic, under the
direction of adviser Mrs. Sandra Jacoby
and Editors-in-Chief Mike Garren, Pam
Sjoerdsma and Pam Wolosz, received
the prestigious All American award
presented by the National Scholastic
Press Association. It was the first
All-American for the Classic which
establishes the '82 edition, "A Cut
Above," as a state-of-the-art yearbook.
One of 36 All-Americans presented
nationwide and the only one in
Wisconsin, the Classic was lauded by
the school board and received a special
commendation on January 11.
Wolosz stated, "The accomplishment was the 312 "A Cut Above "
pages blending the talents of 40 staff
members, yet the All-American represented a pleasant public acknowledgement."
The Classic Editors-in-Chief were
presented NSPA's All-American plaque
by Principal Robert Clark at the Honors
convocation on June 3.
"The award was even more
significant because we couldn't think of
a better way to leave our mark on
Tremper," stated Mike Garren.
Others excelled on Trojan turf but
fell short of champion.
In girls tennis, Beth Barden
advanced to the State quarterfinals
before losing a hard fought, three set
match to her Nicolet opponent. The
boys tennis doubles team of Bob Baker
and Mike Oblen also lost in the
quarterfinal match at the state meet.
At the State Wrestling tournament, Duane Hansen at 126 pounds
and Aaron Tuska at 138 pounds
captured fans with heartbreaking losses
in semi-final matches. Hansen pinned a
third place finish while Tuska took
down a fourth.
The softball team blasted through
controversy to the semi-finals of the
State meet. The big bats were stopped
one run short in the four run seventh
inning rally to lose 11-10.
While the Trojan tradition of
football crowns had ended, other
students, teams and organizations have
ranked "A Cut Above" in the tradition
of excellence.

College Chaos
Whether realized or not, preparing
for college begins at a rather young
age, somewhere between thumbsucking and Romper Room. The
problem is that if every kid stuck with
his first ambition, the world would
overflow with nurses, doctors, astronauts and firemen. When then does the
serious consideration begin?
Sometimes a person knows upon
entering high school what he wants to
be, what school he will go to, what
courses he will need to take, financial
aid qualifications, ACT and SAT test
dates and like information that has him
totally prepared for college. Yet, what
about those, especially the seniors, who
do not know the answers to such
pertinent questions? For all the
undecideds, the time has arrived for a
trip to the counselor.
"So, it's time to prepare for
college, eh?
"Yeah, I guess so."
"I see by your PSAT report that
you are considering Our Lady of St.
Cheryl. We have a slight dilemma; St.
Cheryl is really only for the ministerial
or Swahili language majors."
"That's O.K. I am considering the
two as a combination major-minor so
that I can convert the Swahilis to
Christianity.''
"Oh, how interesting! There is big
money to be made in that area. Well,
understand that if you go to St. Cheryl
you will be living out of town, so you
must apply for housing in the collegeowned dorms. The deadline for the
filing of applications is the first of the
month. That is today. Don't worry
though, they may still have openings."
"Well, I might be able to stay with
my aunt and uncle. They live only a
few blocks away from the campus."
"Oh, great! That would save you
at least two thousand dollars in room
and board costs."
"Sounds good to me.
"Have you taken the SAT test
yet? It's required for admission at St.
Cheryl."
"No, but I took the ACT test last
year when I was a junior."
"Oh, that's right. The next SAT
is coming up in December. We will have

to get that application out soon. It will
cost about ten bucks, but 'no biggie;'
it is necessary. About advanced
placement tests, I don't know if you
have heard of them; they are college
equivalencies that could save you
money on tuition costs."
"I have heard about them from
some of my teachers, but I'm not quite
sure what they are about."
"Well, they are offered here at
school under the subjects of American
History, European History, Calculus,
Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics,
Biology, English and Composition,
Music Theory, Studio Art, History of
Art, Latin, French, German and
Spanish. Anyone is eligible for any one
of these tests, but it is not worth it if
you have not had the background. Each
test costs forty-two bucks. The tests are
graded on a one to five scale, five being
the highest. A score of three or above
will qualify at most colleges for credit
in college. Quite a few schools will even
give you credit for a score of two or
above. Like I said, it could save you
hundreds of dollars in tuition costs
because you would not be required to
take those classes. About ninety-three
percent of all kids who take the test get
a score of two or above. But, don't let
that fool you since only the smart ones
take an A.P. No one wants to waste
forty-two bucks on a test if he doesn't
feel confident of his abilities. It might
be a good idea for you to take the A.P.
test for chemistry. You have had a
couple of years of it here at school, and
you should do well."
"Well, it sounds like a good idea.
I think I'll do it. When do I register?"
"Not until March. The test is not
until the third week of May."
"O.K., anything else?"
"Oh, yes, one more thing. Are you
in need of financial aid?"
"No, my dad is paying for me."
"Oh, good for you. After all, the
filing deadline was two weeks ago."
Such a trip to the counselor is a
must in the life of every college hopeful.
The guidance counselor has the
answers; yet all the responsibilities and
choices weigh heavily on the mind of
the undecided student.

Hit the Books
THE TEACHER'S VIEW ...
Students: apathetic and inferior.
How do inadequate students justify
passing from grade to grade? They
don't. Through blatant cheating, the
holy grail of a seventy percent grade
becomes attainable. Students disregard
the ancient work ethic in favor of crib
notes, community assignments and
out-and-out copying. They must be
tortured for their refusal to conform.
On the other hand, the "good"
students always manage to do a
magnificent job of brown-nosing. Those
poor kids must be compensated for all
that diligence in some way or another.
However, when this thought squirms
into the mind of the instructor, he has
only to recall the sight of the jerk in
third hour flipping him off as this jerk
passed by in his AMX the night before.
While doing volunteer work for the
United Way, teachers develop a perfect
solution as to how to punish wayward
students and, at the same time, reward
the devoted with brownie points.
Additional homework. It will give more
practice and better preparation for the
tests. It will serve as punishment for
their sins, keep them off the streets and
aid them with easy points for the
course.
The students naturally respond
that homework will destroy eye/hand
coordination as time for the arcade has
dissolved. Fast food nutrition also will
be shattered by mothers' junk food.
Finally, the ultimate excuse is that this
will delay work for other classes. These
arguments hold as much water as a
funnel. Such students will cheat to get
it done anyway.
Hence the famous teacher's adage
applies. "I'm a firm believer in luck.
The more work you do, the more luck
you get."
THE STUDENT'S VIEW ...
Teachers: overpaid and underworked. How do unambitious teachers
justify their weekly paychecks? Those
green monsters called grade books
must be crammed with student evaluations. However, those two or three tests
that are presented to the unprepared
student each semester fail to solidly ink
the 45 grade boxes in a quarter.

Being preoccupied as well by the
upcoming union contract negotiations
necessitates that teachers level assignments that can be graded by a student
aid and require only a note on the
board to assign. The student aid (or
teacher pet in kid lingo) is an integral
part of the educator's lifestyle. How
else could a "concerned" teacher find
time to participate in planning for
"Save the Whale" marches, upcoming
values clarification classes, anti-nuke
rallies and other such wastes of time?
Naturally, it is accepted that besides
those "worthwhile" activities, prep
hours are to used only for card games,
gossip and phone calls to the day care
center.
This weapon that teachers wield
and use so ruthlessly is called busy
work. Of course, high school instructors
would deny this to the grave. Most
teachers diligently claim that this moral
degradation is a viable and necessary
function of the course. Anything to the
contrary is blasphemous. Yeh, RIGHT!
Even the teachers who plead guilty to
the crime stubbornly insist that it builds
character and teaches responsibility.
(So does grizzly bear hunting with a
switchblade, but you don't see students
on any field trips to the Canadian
Wilderness). As Pink Floyd so aptly
charge, "Hey teacher! Leave us kids
alone ....... "

On the Loose
"I was about to go out driving with
my father, and I was supposed to back
out of the garage; however, I put it in
drive and went through the garage
wall," junior Cindy Kaiser recalled.
Feelings of paranoia, apprehension, nervousness and even euphoria
overwhelm the inexperienced driver as
he travels out of the protective shelter
of the parking lot into the insecurity of
the city streets. "The driver telegrams
to the teacher how much driving
experience he has had, by his whole
approach to the car," Mr. Apple
stated. If a student is very nervous and
apprehensive, the instructor will allow
him to stay in the parking lot just to
build up his confidence in himself. The
teacher determines where a new driver
drives by how well he drives. " When
I first drove with a teacher, I really
didn't know what I was doing, or where
anything was," junior Kristen Dennis
recalled.
Experiencing a novice driver from
the backseat reinforces a waiting
driver's goal to do better than the
jittery beginner in the front seat. From
the rear, he may gaze out the window
and visually estimate the inches
between himself and the parked cars
flashing by. After his own ordeal, the
driver can only calm himself by falling
into a nonvisual state of oblivion.
Watching another amateur driver
hop a curb is sometimes a relieving
experience; it is a good feeling not
being the only one to make the same
mistakes. While curb jumping and
screeching halts can be a bit unnerving,

the sudden activation of the wipers and
washers during the use of the turn
signal releases a snicker from the
backseat. Senior Dan Flucke recalled,
"The instructor told me to release the
emergency brake, and I reached down
and unknowingly pulled the hood
release."
The infamous brake failure scenario often floods body and soul with fear .
Junior Lori Eidsor remembered her first
experience. "Mr. Warren told me I
didn't have any brakes, so I shifted into
low and pulled the emergency brake.
But, I didn't hold the handle out. I hit
the brakes and made a 25 foot skid
down the ramp to 1-94."
After the first time driving, the
driver's control over mind and body
becomes greater. "It's scary at first, but
after you drive awhile it's alright,"
junior Shawn Glade stated. Finally, the
on-the-road test is successfully passed,
which consists of precarious parallel
parking, hazardous backing up, Y-turns
and hand signals. The verification
papers are triumphantly received, and
the finale of tests at the Department of
Transportation arrives. The sleepless
night before and the alarming stories of
examiners who make a driver do
virtually impossible things are enough
to worry even the most confident of
drivers. After the inevitable passing of
the test, the ecstatic new liscensed
driver may reminsce through his own
memories of driving and offer a bit of
philosophic advice to a new hopeful
driver, "What's the matter with you . ..
it's easy."

'Crusaders' Command Class

Expose Limited
"We must have teachers - a
heroine in every classroom." (Fidel
Castro: Time, January 26, 1959.) Not
stationery to the classroom, teachers
are heroes beyond. They may never
don a cape and soar to the rescue of
FBI agents, but their out of school
activities expose personalities that
students would never guess.
Close to the Greatest American
Hero, Miss Ruth Cole, a Sergeant in the
Army Reserves, commands a slot for "a
woman to step out of her traditional
role." Not merely a three year part
timer, this Weekend Warrior received
a unit citation for excellence of service.
Miss Kay Krause has lifted into a
different definition of routine; although
she has no goal to pose in competition,
the petite and muscular Psychology
teacher bodybuilds. In previous years,
she has been resistance training on the
Universal Gym. In this last year, six
hours a week at the YWCA in Racine
were devoted strictly to bodybuilding.
Any student who recognized Mr.
George Becker for his own bodybuilding
devotion might also have identified his
refereeing WIAA high school and
Division I, II, III men's and women's
college basketball.
Refereeing by weekday as a phy.
ed. instructor, Mr. Ernie Virgili has
mastered handball, chalking up many
championships in his 15 years of
competition. Occasionally found competing on the challenge court at the
Kenosha Fitness and Racquetball Club,
Mr. Virgili has taken first place in both
the Oshkosh Tour and Port Edwards
YMCA Tour, and most importantly, as
an amateur player, he placed third in
the Pro Tour, Milwaukee Handball
Classic.
Mr. Obertin and his wife have
cashed in on Creative Arts by Obertin.
Besides the studio in their home, the
Earth Treasury at King Richard's
Renaissance Faire exibited the craftsmanship in construction along with the
professional art pottery they featured.
"Art is not a hobby," according to Mr.
Obertin, "it's pretty much a full time
activity, especially during summer."
The Obertin's have expanded an
account in Door County and sold to
Marriot's Great America along with

Disney World in Florida.
Rather than pottery, Ms. Nicolee
Teegarden's media has revealed
expertise in two dimensional artwork,
shown in galleries and at festivals, such
as the Lakefront Festival in Milwaukee.
To her credit Ms. Teegarden has
exibited in New York's International
Pratt exhibition.
Mr. Barry Thomas and Miss Diane
Gerlach are reaching towards Masters.
Mr. Thomas has recently completed a
degree in Industrial Environmental
Hygene at U.W. Parkside. Recognized
for his grade point average, he was
selected repeatedly as the department's outstanding student. Ms. Gerlach has been conducting graduate
research in Organic Chemistry at U.W.
Milwaukee.
Applying his journalistic arts, Mr.
Frank Falduto reviewad literary figures
for the Milwaukee Journal for the
section "Beat Writers." His latest
critique was the "William Burrough
Story," and he has continued work on
his own "Railroad Story" after the
November article.
Mr. Larry Negri and Mrs. Kathy
Negri have received community celebrity status by appearing in Kenosha
News articles about their family
"adventure" with their adopted Indian
daughter. Two natural-born daughters
have expanded the parenting scene.
Being "Mom" and "Dad" has been that
other identity for many faculty
members. Uniquely, band director, Mr.
Louis Covelli and French teacher, Mrs.
Mattioli are the only brother-sister
combination on the staff.
On another note, Mr. Stanley
Nosal's musical performances expanded cultural horizons to the world of
cuisine. The renowned Le Francois
Bancagt was savored as a favorite
among international restaurants he has
critiqued for Chicago trade magazines.
Woven together through the
invisible capes of unknown personal
lives, these classroom "crusaders" play
out roles that deepen the colors of
creative teaching. This expose of what
the students never knew about teachers
has been restricted; other revelations
await student discovery.

Badgers Hit Campaign Trail

Capital Times
For 41 and 39 years respectively,
Badger Boys and Girls State have met
during the summer to give high school
juniors active experience in government. Tom Crosetto, Rob Goll, Paul
Huxhold and Tracey Kennedy were
chosen by social studies teachers to
attend. The week-long program encompassed governmental activities like
party caucuses, convenfions, campaigning and elections, social' activities, sport
events and conversation wilh ne'(JIY
acquired friends .
The 672 Badger Girls gathered'for
the '82 session from June 6-12 at the
OW-Madison campus, while the 1068
boys met from June 12-19 at Ripon
College in Ripon, Wisconsin. Upon
arrival to Badger State, the girls and
boys were assigned to dorms on their
respective campus. Each dorm building
formed a fictional county and each floor
of the dorm became a city in the
Badger State. The girls had fourteen
cities in seven counties and the boys,
thirty-one cities in eleven counties.
The citizens were thrust immediately into activities the first day .
Political parties were formed, and
delegates to party caucuses were
chosen. The v~ry next day, nominations
were taken tor candidates to the
Senate, Assembly
' a\li:l all city offices.
Over the next four days, nominations,
state conventions, cauc'uses and 1Zlections were held to fill city, county and
state positions. These ranged. from
aldermen and county sheriffs to

Supreme Court justices and governor.
A typical day at either Badger
Boys or Girls State began with a
wake-up at 6:30 a.m. At 6:45 came
exercises and then breakfast. Next on
the agenda were the morning General
Assemblies with all citizens attending.
Informed with such insights as mayoral
responsibility or the role of a Supreme
Cot1rt justice, they continued their day
with elections and ...S,!'!nate, Assembly
, and court sessions. :Y-hese were followed
· by social attivities like Badger State
Band and Chorus rehearsals, volleyball
games and swim meets.
Following supper, interesting and
informative nights of General Assemblies featured such personalities as
State Supreme Court Chief Justice
Bruce Beilfuss and Governor Lee S.
Dreyfuss. Senior Rob Goll commented,
"Representing the Wisconsin Taxpayer's Alliance, Donald Ripple's sense
of humor spiced an informative speech
on the billion dollar cost of secondary
schools."
Staggering out of the auditorium,
weary from the nonstop activities, BBS
and BGS citizens eagerly slumped into
their beds in order to be rested and
readied for the following days' equally
educational schedul,e. Senior Tracey
Kennedy concluded, "Running for two
offices and partidpating in every aspect
of BGS deepened my knowledge of the
political work involved in holding a
·public office."

Match Wolfenbuttel and Kenosha

Mutual Invasion
"The people in America are friendlier than those in Germany. In
Germany, the people keep mostly to
themselves," commented Dirk Hartung, one of the 21 German exchange
students who attended Tremper for
three weeks.
Thirteen students were hosted by
Bradford and four by St. Joe's. During
the three weeks, 38 students and four
chaperones, who teach English in
Germany, attended classes regularly
and, when feasible, participated actively.
Mr. Gert Fechner, an English
teacher in Wolfenbiittel, Kenosha's
sister city, brought the idea of an
exchange program to his mayor. The
mayor called Mayor John Bilotti who
sent Mrs. Marlon Judge, the president
of the German-American club, to
Germany in May to finalize exchange
details. Assistant Superintendent Ralph
Houghton presented details to the
school board and arranged free busing
and lunches.
Of great concern in assuring the
success of this exchange program was
finding hosts for the German students.
Mr. Larry Jones, Principal of Bradford
High School, and Ms. Michelle Nielson,
German teacher at Tremper, took
responsibility for this. Letters asking for
volunteers to act as hosts were sent to
students enrolled in German classes.
Mr. Jones and Ms. Nielson also set up
the itinerary for the German students
and coordinated the fund raising events
for Tremper exchange students. "The
schedule for the exchange students
included a trip to Great America,
Milwaukee, a Brewer game and two

days in Chicago," explained Ms.
Nielson. German students who came to
Kenosha personally paid for expenses.
The Tremper students, who attended
school in Germany for three weeks in
August 1983, held car washes, a pizza
sale and a pancake breakfast to defray
the expenses.
The out of school activities evoked
reactions from the German exchangees
as to cultural contrasts.
"I had never seen large
skyscrapers like those in Chicago. In
Germany, most of the buildings are of
an old architectural style, unlike the
skyscrapers," said Peter Heintz. "I miss
the German new-wave music, playing
field hockey, friends and German
food," added Frank Von Holt.
'Each of the German exchange
students had at least five years of
English. Their purpose for studying in
Kenosha was to improve their "Amer·
ican" English.
Dirk Hartung said, "The school
system seems to be easier in America.
However, in Germany we attend school
for a shorter amount of time. American
schools also have school sponsored
sports; whereas, in Germany, a person
has to join a club to play."
Even in matters of style, cultural
contrasts were apparent. "Girls in
America look older because most wear
make-up," remarked Birgit Remmert.
"Germans also wear their hair in a
more carefree style."
While some students from the 38
host's families reaped the benefit of a
return visit to Wolfenbiittel, other hosts
accepted the challenge to acquire a bit
of German culture in Kenosha.

Liberation Heats Up

Women Beware
The woman's movement has
expanded into a powerful force upon
the American scene. The Equal Rights
Amendment temporarily died; however, in undertaking many duties that
have been traditionally performed by
the "better half," men can be seen
wielding greater influence. Homes with
"house husbands" where women "wear
the pants" are common.
The foods courses spice up the
curriculum for male students seeking
achievement beyond the backyard
barbecue. The Foods I and II classes,
for example, consist of a number of
separate units. Breads, cakes, nutrition,
entertainment, cookies, meats and the
Christmas Tea are ingredients for the
courses' recipes.
Each unit begins with a study
guide and notes which present background material for discussing different
aspects of the cooking process. An
exam follows. Finally, before entering
the kitchen to try their luck, students
spend a day reviewing the recipe to
guard against errors.
"I didn't expect so many tests and
other written work," remarked senior
Brad Smick. "I thought there would be
more cooking and eating."
Upon entering the kitchen area,
the students are required to wear
hairnets and aprons, even the guys.
After fulfilling the requirements of the
recipe, the students put their materials

away and clean the area. Before
devouring the tasty morsels, the final
product is evaluated on its flavor,
texture and appearance.
Many girls feel that guys involved
in cooking class is for the best.
Junior Candy Stevens mentioned,
"It's good because women work more
now, and when men are home, they can
make their own food."
Senior Sue Haubrich added,
"Whether guys are married or stay
single, they're not always going to have
someone around to cook for them."
Reasons for a guy taking the food
course differed. Dan Niccolazzi and
Dave Balmes related that it would be
an easy credit and that a good grade
was a likely possibility.
In contrast, Smick said, "I want to
be a chef someday, and I figured it
would be a good influence in starting
my career."
Male students outside Home
Economics also indicated support for
guys in cooking class.
"I wouldn't take the course
myself, but, to each his own," said
senior Keith Martin. "Taking foods is
one's own perrogative."
"In a nutshell," added senior Ron
Glasco, "many of the guys will be
bachelors and others could be chefs;
therefore, there is a definite need to
know the basics of cooking."

The tearing down and overhauling of
airplane engines stimulated youthful
pilots in quest of a private license or
fledgling mechanics in training for
airframe and power plant repair. The
Aero-Science Engine Structure and
System Theory class was held every
Monday and Thursday evening from 3
to 6 p.m. at the Gateway Aviation
Center located on highway 192. Films
and on lectures complimented reading
out of textbooks.
"I enrolled in the course at
Gateway because it was an opportunity
to continue education in a field that I
enjoy," said junior Charlie Rhey.
During the fall of 1981, a
statewide
committee,
including
members from the Vocational Technical
and Adult Education, which represent
post high school institutions, and the
Development of Public Instruction
which govern K-12 schools, organized
to recommend the selection of federal
programs coordinated between secondary and post-secondary schools. The
state of Wisconsin, during the summer
of 1982, was offered a sum of
$1,000,000 for the development of
pooling contracts in both the VT AE and

DP! systems. In October of 1982, the
Kenosha Unified School District applied
for a $40,000 grant to start 13 classes.
The news of the approval came in
January of 1983, and the classes
began. The courses ranged in variety
from the industrial arts sectors to
management and clerical skills.
"The purpose of this program is
to broaden the horizons of students so
that they can get a taste of what school
is like beyond high school and to
develop certain skills," said Mr.
Richard Regner, the Vocational
Coordinator for the Kenosha Unified
School District.
The pre-requisites for being able to
go to Gateway were Introduction to
Aviation and Advanced Aviation,
taught by Mr. Cletus Fuenffinger. The
students received three credits towards
graduation from Gateway, and if they
had a minimum of 90 hours in the
course, they obtained one half general
elective credit towards graduation from
high school.
"I hope that the course will
become better established so that other
students can have the same opportunities as we did," said junior Al Llanas.

Phrase Praise
There is a precept in the English
language that says making otherwise
crisp and clean words and phrases into
cliches is a terrible waste of the creative
possibilities of the language. It seems,
though, that there are a few teachers
who know not the existence of this
maxim, and who insist on bending it
past its blasphemy limit to the point of
humor. Many offenders of this rule
were chosen for the exceptional quality
of their pet phrases. The selection
process included rigorous surveying and
interviewing of untold tens of students
and the occasional teacher snitch.
Using cliches would not normally
be recognized as desirable by the
general public, but ask senior Tom
Crosetto and he would disagree. "I
think that Mr. Musser's phrases
definitely made Math Analysis a bit
more lively. His pet cliches became so
well-known among his students that we
began keeping track of them. He
actually said 'now' 4 7 times in one
period." In comparing teacher's notable
traits to personal phrases, senior Dave
Conforti said, "Cliches are extensions
of teachers' personalities. If a teacher
consistently uses an unusual word or
expression, it suggests he is not the
average person. Each teacher is an
individual and doesn't fit into the
'Teach er Mold,' the place where
everyone thinks all teachers come
from."
The results of the toilsome survey
have named six teachers for their
uncommonly flavored pet phrases. On
the average day, Mr. Schmidt might
question, "Can we focus please?
What's new and interesting that we
need to talk about today?" To this, Mr.
Lawler would jovially reply, "I'm gonna
rip your face off!"
Two teachers who think along the
same lines, difficult exams, add up to
Mr. Musser and Mr. Dusterbeck. Mr.
Musser often warns, "Do note therefore
that, very honestly, the limit concept of
logrithmic functions worries me just a
little bit for Friday's test, but let's not
be flippant about it!" Mr. Duesterbeck
counters, "You should have command
of terms like values, morals, etc. type

of things. By now these concepts should
be part and parcel of your knowledge,
and if they aren't, it would behoove you
to learn them."
In response to an inquiry or even
an intelligent question, Mr. Bair would
likely reply, "Excellent! Fascinating
question, I thought we went over that,
but excellent, excellent!" On a
homework binge, Mr. Tuttle reels off,
"How we are going to go about doing
this problem set is pretty much straight
out of the book, more or less verbatim
as far as that goes."
Also receiving pet phrase praise
are Mrs. Gamach, "O.K.?;" Mr.
Burmeister, "Oh darn!"' Mr. Glaeser,
"Don't let me blow my stack!'" Mr.
Firchow, "Earth to class;" Mr. Bussard,
"4x + 3x = 7x this week;" Mr. Nosal,
"In any event;" Mr. Kiszely, "Don't say
can't;" Mr. Falduto, "Oh yeah?;" Mr.
Romano, "Stuff it!"
If the question that repeating the
same phrase could make a class boring
is asked, senior Bob Moczulewski
replies, "Au contraire! I salute the
teachers for making their classes a little
more light-hearted and humorous.
When students can laugh with the
faculty, it brings us closer together as
fellow victims of education."

Getting Tough
Rules, regulations and privileges
are facets of the educational process
that touch all students. Over the past
few years, the student behavior in and
around the hallowed halls has improved
drastically since the 60's days of the
racial riots. However, obedience to the
school's administration has not resulted
in more privileges, in fact, the school
board has removed a number of the
niceties. Phased in over the next few
years will be a program to eliminate the
Commons study hall, early release ,
double lunch hour, and an additional
policy to combat class cutting.
This year was the final opportunity
for students to schedule Commons
study hall. The era has faded away.
Commons study hall has always
provided an atmosphere that varies
inversely from the rigid restrictions
curbing juniors and sophomores in the
144 study hall.
While the student body didn't have
any say in the matter, students did have
opinions on the subject, and are
opposed to the revocation of the
Commons study hall.
"It's not right that seniors should
be placed in a strict study hall
situation," said Marianne Puhr.
Other seniors felt the Commons
study hall held a motivational factor to
the underclassmen.
"Seniors should have extras that
juniors and sophomores can look
forward to," commented Dan Wiepert.
Juniors and sophomores also felt
negatively towards the loss.
"If seniors are supposed to be

more mature," said junior Paul
Trombino, "Why doesn't the administration treat them like it?"
The new program to stunt the
growth in the absentee rates also drew
fire from the students. It was instituted
March 1 on a one day notice to the
students and faculty .
One change from past policy was
that students cutting even a single class
were recognized immediately. Teachers
were provided with a list which
identified the students absent during
second hour. Teachers were then
required to call in any "deviations"
from this list for subsequent hours.
Also, the punishment for skipping
a class or tardiness moved more swiftly
and was stiffer. The first illegitimate
absence resulted in a two hour
detention and on the second class
tardy, a one hour detention was levied.
In addition, Mr. Robert Clark, principal,
instituted an in-school Saturday suspension which lasted four hours.
"I don't think in-school suspensions
should be on Saturday," said Craig
Simpkins, "Kids have jobs, and they
can't afford to miss work."
Whether students accept it or not,
the administration did have reasoning
behind invoking the new policies.
Eliminating Commons study hall will
free an additional instructor for
teaching duties and cracking down on
class cutters should help detour poor
attendance. Only time and the system
itself will mold the students' acceptance
or continued rejection.

Lifters Breathe
The rhythmic breathing every five
counts, the smell of sterilizing alcohol,
and the bandaging of mummified
students have disappeared from 255A.
Though these have vanished, rapid
respiration, often gasps, the pungent
odor of sweat and the white starkness
of stabilizing wrap dominate instead. To
accommodate extra-curricular lifters
and physical education weight training,
the weight room has been moved from
its cramped quarters to the more
spacious former health room.
The reason for relocating the
weight-room was to facilitate a larger
area to work in, thus enabling the
weight lifting program to expand and
improve. More equipment costing about
$800 was purchased in May of 1982.
Two olympic weight sets and a
preacher bench were bought, and with
the remaining money, Mr. Schenk made
another weight bench. "The money was
amassed by weight lifters going through
the community and obtaining pledges
for pounds lifted during an exhibition.
Also, some donations were given,"

explained Mr. Becker.
"I prefer the new weight-room
over the old one because it allows more
people to take advantage of the
equipment," stated Tom Kiser, former
shortstop of the sophomore baseball
team.
An additional advantage of the
new weight-room is that it allows a
person to concentrate on a specific
exercise such as arm curls. Added
space allows athletes to do their own
thing without rubbing elbows with other
lifters. "It's better because there is
more room to work in, and we don't
have to train in the halls. Also, we don't
have to transfer the weights to the halls
which took away from valuable training
time," concluded Steve Rasmussen,
tackle of the varsity football team.
Another benefit is that the physical
education classes do not have to
separate into smaller groups to work
with the equipment anymore. The gym
classes, obviously pleased with the
expansion, have dubbed the room, the
"pit."

Laser Lessons
When most people think of a laser,
they envision mad scientists in white lab
coats secluded in deep, underground
laboratories, looming over giant ultrapowerful mechanisms capable of
instantly burning holes through five inch
thick armor plate. It is like a scene from
Buck Rodgers or Star Trek. An even
more frightening thought than the one
above is the idea of a high school
student looming over a laser capable of
burning holes in armor. The school
district has bought a laser. Can those
surrealistic visions come true? Again,
that the district has bought one is true,
but not one quite as large, powerful or
expensive as the laser described above.
Another less impressive, but more
powerful and expensive classroom tool
purchased was the Canon NP400F
copier.
After two years of funding
requests, Mr. Tuttle finally received
school board approval to purchase a
small, portable laser to be kept at
Tremper, yet shared with other district
schools. The laser was too expensive to
buy with only the physics department
budget, so it had to be paid for through
a district allocation. The laser purchase
idea was first placed on the capital
outlay priority list two years ago and
finally selected as a 1982-83 budget
priority.
Specifically, it is an aluminum
cathode helium-neon laser made by
Frey Scientific Company and sold for
$249. It has a power rating of .5
milliwatts. This compact, hand-held
model can be plugged in to any
standard outlet. Its power output surely
is not going to melt steele, but it does
have its experimental uses. Mr. Tuttle
explained, "It can be used for
determining the speed of light and for
showing holographic (3 dimentional)
pictures. With some special equipment,
it could possibly be used for high speed
photography. It could stop action, not
to 1/1000 of a second as on ordinary
cameras, but to the order of
1/1,000,000,000 of a second. You
could actually take a picture of a bullet
in motion and see the ripples in the air
behind it." The laser's use was
anticipated for second semester, but its
arrival was delayed until the summer.

"The laser should be of great
educational value to future physics
classes," concluded Dave Nice, Advanced Physics student.
Perhaps considered mundane in
laser comparisons, the Canon NP400F
copier, however, stole the scene upon
its very arrival. The 4000 copies made
in the first week alone proved its need.
With its 40 copies per minute
capacity and ability to collate 30 copies
of 15 pages, it has greatly reduced time
spent arranging and stapling sets of
papers. Other nifty features, including
two reduction modes, one enlargement
mode and the ability to make transparencies and labels, have just about made
copying anything onto anything possible. Even paper sizes from 51hx81h to
1lxl7 easily demonstrated its variability. All this was made possible for
$8000 out of a Block Grant obtained
from federal funds .

A Procrastinator's Writing Guide

Research Blues
Toward the conclusion of every
quarter or semester, strange phenomena
overtake the local library. Terse faces
with knitted brows overshadow the quiet
ease of leisure reading . Anxious
researchers can be seen nervously
darting through the aisles with piles of
books in hand. These people have been
described with the following curses:
procrastinators, slothful, indolent, and
generally late for their date with life. All
these students have one thing in
common, a term paper.
How do people accomplish a
twenty page paper in one day? After
racing to the library and picking up
pamphlets, books, records, films, slides,
magazines, a dictionary, a thesaurus and
two encyclopedias, the bewildered
procrastinator settles down to a frustrating night of copying. To aid in this
process, a sister's paper from two years
ago sits nearby. Among the confusion,
the researcher keeps hoping that trusted
friend , who promised to type it, shows
up.
Another common alternative is to
get the " brain" from English class to
write it. He, having promised to do it two
months ago for $20, now graciously
offers to relieve the burden for a mere
$50.
Punching the typewriter keys, the
procrastinator wonders, "Why didn't I
go without lunch for the last three
months so I could afford the $50?"
When the pointer finger on one hand
begins to tire of search and punch,
search and punch, and the neck hangs
loosely off the shoulders, the punching

turns to occasional taps.
Finally, the last footnote is typed,
and the sun begins to shine orange
through the window. Falling into bed, the
successful writer sleeps a precious five
minutes before the alarm goes off.
Covering the paper and getting out the
Visine drops top off an evening, and
morning of pure fun and excitement
gained through the satisfaction of doing
the best job under the circumstances.
Staggering into class, feeling the
loss of sleep and the guilt of plagiarism,
he slides into his chair and takes the
paper out of his folder . In spite of
rationalizing, the typos he has forgotten
to correct and the ones he did glare from
the stark whiteness to awaken him from
his sleep. This sobering lowers his
expectations of A-B work to prayers of
passing. Proofreading the paper is like
jumping from stone to stone across a
stream and never arriving at any point.
The fluency of the paragraphs
leaves much to be questioned, and the
conclusion forces even the anguished
author to wonder where the last page
is.
The teacher suggests a final
proofing to "fix-up" the paper as much
as possible before collection. Seeing this
as a glimmer of hope, the exhausted
worker furiously initiates correcting all
the typos and writing in transition
sentences between paragraphs. A
hand-written apology now concludes the
paper. Feeling like he has just signed his
own suicide note, he wonders why he
waited and vowes that next time ...

Steppin' Out
Nobody enjoyed weathering all
180 days of compulsory education
within the confines of the school.
"It's a relief to kick back a few
days out of the year," said Patty Herholtz. "Students get a feeling of breaking a rule without getting in trouble."
Motives for being out included
anything from the traditional due date
of term papers and tests to the
unrelenting temptation of rock concerts
and ever climaxing soap opera episodes, according to sources anxious to
remain anonymous.
The changing of the seasons
precipitated different types of reasons
for absenteeism. Autumn and the
beginning of the school semester was a
time for most students to improve class
rank and accumulate a high attendance
record. However, some students
refused to accept the conclusion of a
fun-filled summer and reverted to
vacation activities for a day.
The winter solstice blew in the flu
and cold season. A simple sneeze,
cough or sniffle supplied an excuse for
any teenage medical expert to selfprescribe a few days in bed.
Winter activities such as skiing and
vacations to balmy climates created
"empty desks." The lengthy period of
13 weeks between the Christmas and
Easter breaks with only one day off
compelled students to search out days
for sleeping late also.

"I couldn't make it without a few
days off," said Dan Flucke.
Spring and the final stretch of the
school year kicked in an attitude
change in some. The improving
weather, along with the highly contagious spring fever, lured many to the
beaches at Silver Lake to get a start
on a gorgeous tan. Senioritis afflicted
almost everyone in the Class of '83
sometime during the year.
Attendance also dropped due to
simple fatigue. Normally exhaustion
would not have come from school itself.
Weariness usually flowed from such
things as lengthy shopping excursions,
too much partying and working late.
Physical disfigurement often produced a yearning for a 24 hour reprieve
from embarrassment. For some, this
included being the loser of a bloody
fight, avoiding the anticipated ridicule
of a short haircut and perm or displaying the existence of a big, red
eye-catching hickey.
Absenteeism though led to a major
problem, an abundance of homework.
After a day or so of lounging around,
the student was besieged with an
overload of assignments that were
usually not considered when he/she
was pondering the thought of a day off.
"The extra work is really a
hassle," said Keith Bouterse, "but I
guess if you want to get rid of the rats,
you have to pay the piper."

Rolling out of bed at about 8 a .m.
on November 27, a 28 degree sunny
Saturday, 25 enthusiastic art students

about "showing the community our

Mr. Johnson and Mr. Scott arranged for art students to have the
opportunity to paint 15 windows of the
former Grants Store in Pershing Plaza.
The option of participating was backed
up with a $50 first place award and a
$25 second place award. " Students
from all art classes participated; their
bravery and enthusiasm was great,"
Mr. Johnson stated. " Their concern far
the community was relevant," Mr.
Scott added.
Twenty-eight days before Christmas, the participants bundled up in
their long underwear, scarves, gloves
and heavy jackets and set out at 8:30
a.m. to tackle the project in groups of
two or three, or single handedly. The
crisp coldness of the morning chilled
artistic fingers which made the usually

easy task of transposing difficult. Painting from the inside was attempted; however, the paint ran from the humidity
so students combatted the cold.
While warming up with thermoses
of hot cocoa, students worked cautiously, being careful not to hurt their frigid
fingers . Jim Gentile, who created a
Santa Claus, summed up the weather
conditions as, "My fingers were
cramped from the cold; I wish it had
been warmer."
The Christmas murals were painted in Tempra Watercolor Paints. To
prepare for the project, students presented holiday sketches and ideas to
Mr. Johnson for advice.
Being a contest, a judge was contacted. Judy Arnold from the respected
Upstairs, Downstairs Art Gallery was
selected for her expert knowledge and
art criticism. Two winners were selected.
Each of the winners was chosen
because of artistic use in methods. Mike
Piehl's depiction of The Little Drummer
won first prize, and Karen Bose's
mouse warming-up near the fireplace
received second. From the Santas,
Christmas trees and nativity scenes, a
warmth of the holiday season was
created in the shoppers' community.

Portfolio Hallmarks Excellence

Art Draws Keys
As the day of judgement descended, the future "Picasso's" and "Da Vin·
ci's" were engulfed by nervous anxiety.
That the quality of sculpting, painting,
and drawing of the past months would
be assessed in a few fleeting moments
pressed upon the artists.
Portfolios, which consisted of eight
pieces of work and cost a minimum of
$65 just for supplies, were categorized
by their media. Each of the 15
categories was judged by a jury of three
people. These people are chosen by the
board for their qualifications and their
sensitivity. If the artist's rendition was
done exceptionally well, it received a
Gold Key. Out of 1774 entries in the
Wisconsin region, only 116 Gold Keys
were awarded. 59 Blue Ribbon finalists
were chosen out of the Gold Key
winners.
The Hallmark Honor Prize of $100
from the Hallmark Company is
awarded to a single artist within a
region. To be nominated for the
Hallmark Honor Prize, the artist had to
win first Gold Keys and then Blue
Ribbons. From every region in the U.S.,
five pieces are nominated for the prize,
but only one can receive it.
Tremper nominations for the
Hallmark Prize from the Wisconsin
Region impressively included three
artists. Neal Rohrer's pencil drawing of
a self-made paper sculpture, Bill Law's
pencil drawing of a spot-lighted antique
wicker basket and Greg Peterson's

pencil drawing of a dry flower
arrangement were cited for excellence.
A print of a mirror with a scarf, belt,
and a tie draped over it by Jane
Mutchler and Paul Modica's photo of a
sun-speckled director's chair received
Gold Keys and Blue Ribbons for their
work.
Sponsored by the Milwaukee Art
Museum and Quad/Graphics, the art
was displayed at the museum from
February 6 thru March 6. Of 377
pieces chosen for display, four Tremper
students had work in the exhibit. Jim
Gentile's self-portrait, Shari Oatsvall's
ink and watercolor of a paint-spattered
watercolor box, Mike Piehl's pencil
drawing of a mirrored bathroom sink
and Jack Bornhuetter's photo of a
banister and staircase were all displayed.
"I feel if a teacher uses the
Scholastic Art Competition as a base
for teaching, his standards are very
high. The competition nurtures excellence," Mrs. Teegarden stated. On
February 17, the Art Department's
field trip to view the exhibit recognized
the accomplishments of the school's
artists and was to inspire these
students.
"It's good experience. You've got
to do one thing professionally, whether
or not you ever do it again doesn't
matter. It feels good to do one portfolio
well," commented Bill Law, Gold Key
and Hallmark nominee.

Faced with a full calendar of
traditional events, the go-getter attitude
of officers faded with the summer sun.
The cheerleaders division into two
squads, the Tempest taking on a new
look and the Choraliers, under new
direction, being postponed until second
semester spurred the distinctions laid
down by the seniors.
"Putting handles on vandals,"
Student Congress attacked crime and
also organized "If You've Got It, Give
It!" to break the first day national
record. At state level competition, three
Forensics members spoke their way to
the top in extemporaneous speech,
poetry and a 4-minute speech. Writing
their way into headlines, the Tempest
and Classic garnered yearbook and
newspaper awards. The Tempest's
Gallup was one of three in the state
while the Classic's All American was the
only one.
The abundance of pasta lovers
whetted the appetites of the new Italian
students, making Italian Club over two

Michigan. While Interact didn't act, the
Trojanettes sparkled a spring sports
finale with their "Silent Partners."
''A Change of Seasons'' at

the best year yet. From Blue Jazzers'

that will always remain "Back in Blue"

158 Congress/Spirit Board

Forces Disintegrate Negativism

Spirit Blitzes 'Blahs'
Unseen forces blitzed the student body
in the battle against apathy, dull lunch hours
and vandalism. Uncovering the sexiest
senior legs, the "grab a guy" tum-around
of Sadie Hawkins and the uplifting zeal of
pudding pushers, Spirit Board razza-ma-tazzed students. In attack on the bog
down of boredom, Student Congress
diverted stellar energy toward school and
community betterment.
Student Congress brought a "Change
of Seasons" to the traditional festivities
through the dance and coronation ceremony. In the 2A-2B Queen's assembly,
each Homecoming candidate was introduced to the student body with a skit
designed by her campaign manager. Due to
the potential fire hazard of a bonfire, the
Homecoming Queen and her court smashed
a pinata, which stood for a Milwaukee Tech
Trojan, at the pep rally.
According to President Adell Frye,
Student Congress break from tradition with
the Homecoming dance theme, "Change of
Seasons." On September 25, the gym was
staged to depict a moonlit night in the park.
With real elms, oaks, scattered leaves, park
benches and scintillating stars, couples
experienced the sensation of strolling or
sitting in a park on a starlit night. "Overall,
Student Congress was very successful in
presenting the Homecoming festivities. We
captured the school's spirit throughout the
whole event," commented Pep Rally
Chairperson Patrice Ewald.
Student Congress' most community
oriented accomplishment of the year was
the Blood Drive on March 17 and 18. With
the "When You've Got It, Give It" slogan,

Congress members pulled together and
recruited 695 donors from the school and
the community.
In promoting an Anti-Vandalism campaign in November, Congress pinned-up
posters and circulated flyers around school
to explain vandalism and how to prevent it.
Student Congress exchanged representatives with Racine and Waukegan in order
to expand their knowledge of other
Congress procedures. In February, Congress hosted six members from Case and
six members from Warren Township.
Congress members also guided City
School Administrators on a March 16 tour
to display what Tremper has to offer in
facilities and curriculum. A similar program
was scheduled for local business people in
May in order to familiarize them as well.
Both Student Congress and Spirit
Board boosted Spirit Weeks. "Musical
guys," the toilet paper wrap, the orange
pass and a tug-of-war challenged classes to
grasp school spirit. "Spirit Week is one of
our most active and successful events. It
promotes school spirit, and it encourages
group participants," Spirit Board Secretary /Treasurer Amy Lovelady remarked.
In November, Spirit Board's " Mr. Legs
Contest" strutted senior guys who competed for the best looking legs. Photos of
muscular legs were exhibited in the
Commons for the female gender to gaze
upon. Jim Gentile won the vote from the
girls and was rewarded with a garter.
"Everybody thought the contest was fun,
especially the guys; for once, they got all
the attention," related senior Michelle
Burnett.

In February, the club busied themselves with decorations and ticket sales for
their annual shindig, Sadie Hawkins.
"Marryin' Sam," an old-time jail, the
honeymoon shack and the crowning of Daisy
Mae generated the backwoods feeling for
couples. "Sadie Hawkins is the only couples
dance where students feel comfortable
letting go," junior Lori Hartnell stated.
Other activities the club supported
included a Door Decorating contest in
December before Christmas. Mrs. Santerelli's 206 door captured first prize. They also
awarded the football team and coaches
boutonnieres on October 27 and acknowledged parents of basketball players at the
Parent Appreciation Night on January 14.
Through the efforts of a few students,
pride and spirit accentuated otherwise
ordinary weeks. From pie-eating contest to
the national record blood drive, Congress
and Spirit Board bridged worthwhile
activities to fun.

Interact Tallies Special Olympics

Key Clobber Rules
Dedication to community has often
motivated club productivity; yet in the final
analysis, it is the ardor of individuals who
make projects go and funds accumulate.
Such were the significant members of Key
Club and Interact.
Kicking off the year with a car wash
on September 4, Key Clubbers "cleanedup" by collecting $68. This was used to
travel to the Wausau Convention. Key Club
broke up the lunchtime blahs by roasting a
$35 outdoor brat sale on September 27.
"We were all willing to work, which
contributed to our success. Along with
success, we had fun together," commented
District Governor John Edwards.
"The Key Club members backed every
fund raiser. It was a total club effort,"
stated Paul Saksvig, president. "Raising
money for as many foundations as possible
was our main goal," concluded Saksvig.
Silk-screening shirts for competitors,
the Key Clubbers ran the Second Annual
Road Race on August 7. The race was
divided into two mile, five mile and ten mile
routes. "It took planning and execution. The
Key Clubbers drew 97 runners to the
competition," commented advisor Mr.
Chuck Bradley, who is a regular longdistance runner. The race netted a $500
profit which was donated to the Arthritis
Foundation.
The big event of the year amassed the

1600 pounds of the Food Drive. With Miss
Behling's T.V. Production Class capturing
the poundage title again, the student body
collected a three basket goal to receive free
doughnuts. In addition to doughnuts, second
and third runner-ups, Mr. Tuttle's Physics
and Ms. Krause's Psychology class, were
awarded free passes into the Key Club
dance. Baskets heaped with flour, sugar,
potatoes and non-perishables were distributed to over 60 needy families by Key Club
and Kiwanis members.
"Our dance went smoothly," stated
Jeff Sedloff, 1983-1984 president. "Because so many people earned free passes,
we didn't make much money, but everybody seemed to be having a good time,"
concluded Sedloff. The dance collected a
profit of $175.
"Our participation as a club has been
reflected by our individuals," stated
Vice-President Jenny Evans. The chapter
has its first Wisconsin-Upper Michigan
District Governor, John Edwards. Edwards
presided over a board of 15 members and
78 Key Clubs. He established policy and
directed workshops.
While controlling the District Convention in Wausau, Kevin Kollman was elected
Lieutenant Governor of Division I. The club
took three seconds in Single Service Project,
Scrapbook and Achievement.

make our events successful," commented
Interact President Bob Ward, in striking
contrast. The fund raisers that Int~ract did
take part in raised few dollars. At Christmas
time, Interact bundled up with Sub Deb and
caroled house to house to raise $50 for the
American Cancer Society.
However, Interact did lend a helping
hand when needed. Again teamed with Sub
Deb, they constructed the Pac-man float for
the Homecoming Parade. The float placed
third. On November 7, they tallied scores
for the Special Olympics Bowling, and on
November 25, they clocked times for the
Mayors Turkey Day Run.
Netting $450 from the record-giveaway dance, Interact donated $100 to the
Friendship Camp in Union Grove and $100
to the Dennis Penza Scholarship fund. Also
two $100 scholarships were awarded in
June to outstanding members. Secretary
Chris Paielli commented, "We had a
disappointing year, but with the money that
we raised we did community projects."

Ballooning to twice as large as the

the challenge of general apathy. "Because
of Kenosha's large Italian population and
the introduction of Italian to the school
curriculum, a large number of students
participated in the club's activities,"
explained President Shireen Nelson.
The club tackled the problem of
accumulating enough funds for upcoming
field trips and special activities early in the

October 27," stated Secretary-treasurer
Kathy Duberstine. With a portion of the
funds raised, 50 club members ventured to
the Water Tower Place and devoured spicy
pizzas at Gino's after shopping.
In order to expand cultural knowledge for
members as well as the public, the club
sponsored "I Love Italy Fiesta" on February
14 at the Italian-American Club. Serenaded
by violinists, Colana Cascio and Dina Frieri,
240 guests feasted on the spaghetti dinner.
Club member Mike Stebbins, along with the
band "Axis," also performed a musical
evening.
From eight to midnight, "Chant" revived

the "rock on" era for 75 couples at Sub
Deb's winter formal on December 18.
Preparation of the Eagles' Ballroom theme,
"A Crystal Night," started in October. Bake
sales, candy sales, and ticket sales grossed
$275, financing the cost of decorations.
Refreshment, publicity, program, band and
ticket committees combined forces to create
the decorative Christmas atmosphere for
the dance. The room was studded with
glittered stars while baby blue angels served
as center pieces. "Many hours were spent
in planning, setting up and decorating. As
the result, the dance turned out to be a
great success. It was like a reward for all
the hard work," President Debbie Barnett
commented.
Aside from the winter formal, Sub Deb
members caravaned from house to house
for their annual Progressive Dinner on
January 31. They savored a four course
dinner consisting of guacamole dip, chop
suey, mostaccioli and baked Alaska. The
dinner ended with a candlelight induction
for new members.
For Homecoming, the club joined with
Interact members to build a parade float.
Rewarding Sub Deb and Interact members,
the float "Trojan's Pac-A-Tech" captured
second place. "Many members from both
clubs came to help build the float, so we
were like a big family. It was a great way
to get to meet people," related junior Patti
Zanotti.

Cuisine Educates Cultural Palate

Class Accents Taste
Sauerbraten, enchilada, boeuf bourginon and egg plant parmesan were all
delightful adventures of the palate into
cultural awareness. For the language clubs,
cuisine accents each club's most important
activity.
The German Club got a taste of
German heritage while being entertained by
traditional dances at Caledonia's "Hofbrauhaus." They were also served by
waiters and waitresses outfitted in customary "lenderhosen" and "dirndls."
A trip available to all Spanish students
on October 22 to Chi-Chi's Restaurant in
Greendale exposed "estudiantes" to
culture. "Sombreros, serapes and Aztec
designs in the decor complimented the
burito, arroz and fryolis I ate," explained
Jeff Reiter.
In the Mardi Gras spirit, a postponed
crepe party was held in March at the home
economics room for French Club. Members
were encouraged to speak French while
feasting on cheese, shrimp, chocolate and
carmel crepes. In text with the French style,
crepes were served from a red, white and
blue main table.
Closing off the year, language clubs
extended flavorful fellowship. Diverting to
the Greek culture, the Latin Club sojourned
in April to a Greek restaurant to enlighten
this cultural influence. For the German Club
picnic, bratwaurest and sauerkraut were
served in May.

Also celebrating culture, the French
classes ventured on October 20 to see the
play "Cyrano de Bergerac" at Milwaukee's
Oriental Theatre. Senior Beth Fisher
commented, "The play was done in English,
but just before the main scenes, the actors
would walk backwards and do the scene
again in French. It was like backing up a
film and watching it over."
March 15 brought the "Ides of March,"
and Latin Club's celebration of Julius
Caesar's death. Streaming the Commons in
black and selling black licorice correlated a
fund raiser with the Latin commemoration.
With September's Homecoming just
around the corner, German, Latin and
Spanish Clubs quickly created banners and
floats. Adorned with green garbage bags,
Jeff Ermert's Gremlin decreed "Deulschlan
Uber Alles" (Germany Above All) as
German Club's tank float entry. Bearing the
slogan "Tremper Takes Control" in English
and Latin, Latin Club captured first place
in the banner contest. Spanish Club's
banner entry played off the Pac Man video
game with "Tremper has Tech-man Fever."
At the annual language club dance on
October 27, the groups once again pooled
efforts to get a second major project off the
ground. Students' Halloween spirit and
imagination howled that Friday evening as
Crayolas, G.I. Joes, scuba divers and
Martians. The $500 profit raised by the
dance was divided evenly.

1. For Latin Club, Beth Hart and Donna Erickson sell

Challenging knowledge of culture and
language, eight second and three third year
German students participated in the
National German Exam sponsored by the
American Association of Teachers of
German. Don Habel and Peter Langenstroer scored in the 90 percentile
nation-wide and were awarded German
Travelogue books. These students were
elegible to win four week trips paid for by
German government. Selection was done by
panel from the Wisconsin A.A.T.G. in May.
Only through fund raisers were clubs
able to actively encounter culture. German

Wavelengths Transmit Talent

Spotlight Cues Skills
Relating to students on their own wave
length, New Voice, Debate, Forensics and
Stage Crew touched members with the
rapidly paced performing world.
New Voice Radio electrified the
students with their twelve members
cranking out tunes. "It was great to get in
front of a crowd as a D.J. and be in
control," expressed Jim Gentile. Whether at
a school dance or during the festive Friday
noon hours, New Voice blasted rock-n-roll,
punk, or country western.
Charging $40 to play at a sock-hop
after an athletic event or $60 for a full
length dance earned sufficient revenue to
order a Pioneer SL 1500 mixing board, two
Shure 125x cabinet loud speakers, and a
Pioneer PL 500 turntable with direct drive,
summing up to approximately $1900.
Transistors send electronic messages,
but the human voice is the core of
communication. Debate has developed the
ability to argue national issues constructively, whereas Forensics members chose topics
from thirteen categories. Competition
ranged from oratory to four minute speech.

From interpretive events, prose reading
through play-acting were available.
At eight tournaments, the Debate team
concentrated persuasive talents on the
controversial topic of military arms sales.
Coach Mary Snyder was assisted by UW
Parkside senior Michael Bauer, a 1979
member of the Debate squad.
On December 4 at the Milwaukee Tech
Tournament, juniors Dave Borland and
John Lovell secured speaker medals for 3-0
records. On December 18 at Delaven
Darien, senior Kathi Rasch and Lovell received speaker trophies with 3-0 standings.
In February, Forensics attracted the
largest group to date. Fifteen members
competed for individual awards. "Blue
ribbons were awarded if a competitor
received an 'A' in each round," explained
Lori Eidser, a junior in Declamation.
The responsibility of preparing individual speech categories was surpassed by
organizing the Sub District meet. March 12
was the first time that Tremper had hosted
this nine school meet.
At district competition, ten Forensics

members qualified for the April 23 State
meet. Competing in Extemporaneous
Speaking, Storytelling and four minute
speech, John Lovell, Kathi Rasch and
Donna Erickson respectively received
medals for "A" ratings and school letters.
Setting the microphones at proper
sound levels, constructing stage props,
operating a carbon arch spotlight and the
lights for scene changes were the prime
responsibilities of Stage Crew.
The twelve participants set the stage
for annual affairs such as Madrigal Feaste,
the Christmas Assembly, Prom and the
Variety Show. The six most qualified were
selected as the Variety Show crew. Several
weeks in advance, preparations to accurately amplify volume assured that performances could be heard throughout the
auditorium. Specific areas which needed
spotlighting were marked and the light
required to adequately illuminate prop
changes was staged.
These activities drew students who
sought active contact with the expanding
field of communication.

Squads' Pizazz Charges Up Fans

Tinie Out for Action
Dazzling spectators at sports events
and pep assemblies, the cheerleader and
Trojanette squads mounted creativity
through choreographed dance routines and
spirit chants.
Dividing their talent into two season
squads, seven varsity and seven sophomore
cheerleaders practiced two days a week in
the summer to learn chants, cheers, jumps
and mounts. The opening game against
Bradford, on September 3, kicked-off the
football season as players sliced through a
crash sign made by the cheerleaders.
September 15 marked Homecoming
festivities , a major project for football
cheerleaders. "We delivered good-luck
letters to all the players and decorated their
lockers with red and blue crepe paper to
fire them up," explained senior Brenda
Schutz. At the pep rally, September 24,
captain Jenn Smestad clobbered Big Brute
Kip DesArmo with an oversized whiffle bat
and Trojan jersey. After peppy chants, the
squad fled to stake " good luck" signs in
players' front yards . Medals and letters,
along with mock awards, were given as the
fall cheerleaders concluded with a banquet
at Captain's Steak Joint on November 3.
On October 14, fifteen girls qualified
to cheer for winter sports. The new squad
traveled on November 10 to a UW-Oshkosh
clinic to learn new chants and cheers.
For both the boys and girls basketball
teams, cheerleaders psyched up home fans.
Only three boys games were attended due

to the lack of transportation. Stomping and
yelling for grapplers to "pin to win,"
cheerleaders riled spectators at home
meets. April 18 summed up their season at
Captain's Steak Joint where Most Improved
was awarded to Sue Hauke, Most Valuable
to Brenda Schutz and an award to the
captain, Jenn Smestad. "Reflecting three
years of cheerleading for the Trojans, this
last banquet was very touching and quite
memorable for me," she expressed.
Both squads combined fund raising
efforts. To keep cool while raising money
in the summer, cheerleaders soaped up
$105 from a carwash, bake sales, a sock
hop and a summer rummage sale boosted
funds to $675. To rev up an original fund
raiser, the girls sold key chains, adding
$150 to their account. From the cheerleading balance, the girls generously flowered
basketball players with boutonnieres before
a Bradford game and served breakfast of
donuts and milk on March 3 before Regional
play.
Sparking additional crowd enthusiasm,
the Trojanettes choreographed half-time
entertainment. Quickly paced routines were
perfected as they practiced three days a
week for two hours. Parading down 60th
Street to Journey's "Escape," the Trojanettes cha-chaed to July 4 festivities . On
August 8, they danced to "Summer Nights"
by Survivor at the State Fair in Milwaukee.
August 13-16 Whitewater welcomed 18
squads for a summer camp, which honored

the Trojanettes with daily first place ratings,
first place trophy for best overall squad and
a fourth place trophy distinguishing routine
originality.
On September 24, they entertained at
the Homecoming pep rally by dancing the
traditional :'Barbara Ann" with returning
alumni. "We decorated a pick-up truck for
the Homecoming parade with signs and
balloons and yelled for everyone to come
to the game," said senior Pam Fraher.
A total of $638 raised from a sock hop,
two candy sales, bake sales and a 100 kick
kick-a-thon, covered the cost of camp and
a choreography clinic on December 11 at
New Berlin Eisenhower, Milwaukee.
Rippling into junior highs, Trojanettes
gathered with pom-pon girls on March 19
to teach them a dance routine for the junior
high city wrestling tournament.
On April 28, a banquet at the Italian
American Club ended the Trojanettes
season. Serious and mock awards recognized Most Improved, Natalie Krah; Most
Dedicated, Kathy Grisham; Rookie of the
Year, Roxanne Anderson; Miss Congeniality, Brenda Wolf; Most Valuable, Beth
Wojtak and Kathy Girman; and next year's
co-captain, Donna Capponi. " To end the
year, at the spring pep assembly, we did
"Silent Partners" to let our personalities
shine through, leaving our own style
behind," summed up Captain Beth Wojtak.

Watch Keys Florida
Innovation, originality and pageantry
ranked often among the many formidable
traits of the Band of the Black Watch.
Striving to maintain the prestigious reputation earned during their past four years of
existence, Black Watch members continued
to acquire recognition from Florida to
Oregon.
Leading the "Parade of Lights" in
Disneyland on July 14 emphasized the
Band's uniqueness, in that they were the
only band from Kenosha to ever receive
such an honor. Only one out of approximately fifteen bands that apply to Disneyland
are even selected to march in their parade.
To refine such skills and precision,
Black Watch members attended camp at
UW-Oshkosh from June 12-19. With the
help of drill designer Julie Santapoalo,
Black Watch members mastered routines to

music arranged by Jeff Cesario. Practices
were held three nights a week to regiment
routines.
At the July 3 Midwest Tournament in
Crystal Lake, Illinois, Black Watch received
the Overall Grand Champion award along
with a first place in Parade and a second
place in Field Show. Included in the Field
Show award, they were named Best Band
in colorguard, percussion and music. "We
could never have received such prestigious
awards without the effort and teamwork put
forth by the entire band," proclaimed
Colorguard Sergeant Julie Riese.

Other accomplishments accredited to
Black Watch were Overall Grand Champion
in Verona, Wisconsin. First place Field Show
in Verona, Wisconsin, and the Oregon
Parade of Bands and second place in both
Field Show and Parade at Sun Prairie,
Wisconsin.
Although cloudy skies prevailed, Black
Watch carried out their final Homecoming
performance receiving a standing ovation
from on-looking crowds. Senior Leslie
Montemurro summed up, "It is a great
feeling to march off the field for the last
time, knowing our band is the best."

Concert Band Cultivates Sophomores

Five Rate Superior
WSMA Solo and Ensemble District
Contest ratings granted the Concert Band
a trip to the state ensemble contest at U.W.
Whitewater where they also garnered
superior ratings. Although composed of
98% sophomores, concert band also tallied
individual ratings of one for Greg VanPatten
on trombone, Dave Gosch on tenor
saxophone, Sue Bisciglia on flute, and Rudy
Wallach on drum and two rating for Tom
Cairo on drum at the state solo contest.
The growth of musicianship was
reflected by the upward movement into
Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble as
well as the individual contest ratings. " It
was great to have so many musicians
receive one ratings because it reveals their
dedication to the excellence of the
program," commented Director Louis
Covelli.

On April 23, Concert Band had
collected three number one ratings for the
somber "Prelude for Band" by Claude
Smith which features French horn and the
festive " Jubilee' by George Kennedy.
On December 8, Concert Band
harmonized with the Symphonic Band for
the Winter Concert. Patricia Liethan, a
student teacher and senior at Carthage
College, directed Concert Band in the old
Lutheran hymn "Cantus Choralis and
Fugue" by Mendelssohn and the up-tempo
" Nobles of the Mystic Shrine March" by
John Philip Sousa. " The kids blended their
individual talents into these difficult pieces
and played them very well," stated Liethan.
Band-o-Rama was next on Concert
Band's agenda on February 4 and 5.
Presiding over the bands was the director
of the Madison Symphony, Gene Young.

Concert Band joined for " Prologue for
Band" by Elliot Del Bargo with fellow
bandsmen of Kenosha . " It was fun playing
with other bands. We generated a good
sound that pleased the audience," reflected
alto sax Mike Misamore.
Again on May 26, Concert Band teamed
with Symphonic Band to host the Spring
finale . Featuring Dr. James Nielson,
Concert band soothed the audience with
"Three Chorale Preludes" by William
Lathan and aroused their spirits with
Sousa's " Black Horse Troop." Dr. Nielson,
director of the Educational Department of
Leblanc, had previously conducted the
Wind Ensemble in 1982. "We were very
proud and honored to be under the direction
of a man of Dr. Nielson's stature,"
concluded percussionist Shelly Shirven.

Band Masters Intricate Music

Relich Scores Honor
With the intricate tunes of "First Suite
in E Flat" and "Wedding Dance," the
Symphonic Band captured a Superior rating
for the third consecutive year at the
Wisconsin School Music Association Group
Contest held at Tremper on April 23.
The Band practiced daily during third
hour, rehearsing scales and polishing tunes
to live up to last year's reputation. "The
group has obtained a high level of musical
sensitivity and has acquired an appreciation
of the mastery of band music," stated
conductor Mr. Louis Covelli.
The Homecoming Coronation Assembly kicked off the season as queen
candidates promenaded to Symphonic's
"Olympic Fanfare." Later, on December 8,
the Winter Concert combined Symphonic

and Concert Bands. "Pieces like the
marimba quartet 'Hungarian Dance', by
Brahms and 'Lyric Dance' earned nice
rounds of applause. When you are up on
stage and the audience likes your
performance, you forget about all the hard
practicing," commented junior Joy Welch.
On February 6 and 7 they took part
in the district wide festival, the Bando-Rama. Together with groups from all over
the southeast, two days of fun and music
marked this event for the participants.
Their biggest and final performance of
the year was the Spring Concert on May
26. Under the baton of guest conductor Dr.
James Nielson, vice president of the G.
Leblanc Company, the band performed
"Prelude, Siciliano and Rondo." Together

with the Concert Band and the Wind
Ensemble the concert climaxed in a
'furioso'. "To perform 'The Black Horse
Troop' and 'Three Chorale Preludes'
required a great amount of discipline by
every one of the 165 performers. It is very
difficult to play as such a large number of
people," explained junior Mike Oblen.
Also at the Spring Concert, the John
Philip Sousa Award was given to outstanding senior musician Mark Relich. The
George Manupella Memorial Award was
presented to the most dedicated senior
Mark Relich. "A year of musical excellence
has passed us. Mr. Covelli makes us play
difficult literature," concluded junior Kathy
Jona us.

"For its members, Wind Ensemble
developed the background of the different
periods and styles of music from the 1600's
to the present," explained Mr. James
Firchow, Wind Ensemble director.
On November 11, Wind Ensemble
blended together to perform the lively 1636
Giovanni Bounamente tune "Sonata" and
the 1968 bubbly humoristic piece from
Norman Delio Joio "Fantasies on a Theme
by Hayden." "The group had balanced tone
that made the music flow," related student
teacher Patricia Liethen.
Musical flexibility enabled every performer to play both principal and secondary
parts. At one time or another each artist
stepped into the spotlight for a solo.
The Winter Concert on February 15
cresended with French horn soloist William
Caballero, a 1977 graduate and present
member of the Boston Symphony. The
Ensemble accompanied Caballero in the
instrumental "Romance in F" by C. Saint
Saens and the tongueing technical "Concerto No. 2 in Eb Major" by Wolfgang Mozart.
"Mr. Caballero was a great help to our
French horn section. At a clinic, he showed
us exercises to help strengthen muscles in
our lips and new breathing techniques,"
commented horn player Becky Bain.
"The Spring Concert concluded my
musical career in a good way," conveyed
senior Kiwanis Award winner Mark Relich
about the program on May 12. Wind
Ensemble presented the collage of Navy
tunes, "Homage to authentic American folk

song" and "A Symphonic Prelude" by
Alfred Reed in its finale .
Jazzers climaxed jam sessions with the
Variety Show. As with Blue Jazzer's
"Engine No. 9," each group blasted out its
own energetic set. The Blue and Red Jazz
merged to breeze through up-beated "Wind
Machine" by Sammy Nestico and "Groovin'
Hard" by Don Menza. "It felt great to get
up on stage and perform quickly paced
music," commented Mike Savaglio saxophone soloist in "Wind Machine."
Other than Variety Show, Blue Jazz
"pepped up" the crowd at sport assemblies
and basketball games. Red Jazz warmed the
hearts of students in the Commons by
kicking off the Blood Drive.
While the Red Jazz practiced on
Thursday nights, the Blue Jazz rehearsed on
Tuesday evenings. "Jazzers exposed
students to the types of jazz music that have
been composed through different periods,"
concluded Mr. Louis Covelli, Red Jazz
director.

Evening Orchestras Refine Culture

Strings Stroll Coast
By combining a mixture of pop and
classical pieces, the Golden Strings and
Chamber Orchestras enhance evening
concerts while expanding student knowledge of different musical dimensions.
At the Pittsburgh Opera Diamond
Horseshoe Ball on October 22, hundreds of
people awaited the highlight of the evening,
the Tremper Golden Strings Orchestra,
directed by Mr. Stanley Nosal. "We
received three standing ovations and the
audience wanted us to play more,
exclaimed bass player Jeff Hagopian. The
Strings also journeyed to Washington D.C.
to perform for the Officers Club at Bolling
Air Force Base and the newly opened
Sheraton Hotel, which marked the end of
an exciting tour.
The 33-member ensemble distinguished itself from conventional school
orchestras by playing a variety of popular
music specially arranged for them by James
"Red" McLeod, entertainment director of
the Minnesota Vikings football team. The
Strings' repertoire contained more than 40
musical selections, most performed from
memory. One of the most acclaimed
selections, "Bluegrass," featured soloists,

each giving individual renditions of the
"Bluegrass" theme. Upon request, the
group honored guests celebrating special
occasions such as anniversaries and
birthdays. "We play an entertainment type
of music: music to eat by," remarked
violinist and pianist Mary Mclafferty.
Due to costly expenses not compensated for by school funds, all money for the
Strings' tour was raised by concerts at local
organizations and by special projects such
as the August pizza sales, October candy
sales and a sp~ghetti dinner. Performances
for the Milwaukee Knights of Columbus,
Shriners of Kenosha and the annual District
Conference of Rotary International at the
Abbey Resort were among the 25 shows.
Through these efforts, a total of $
was raised to make the Pittsburgh tour a
reality. "After our appearance in Pittsburgh, we received invitations from all over
the world. If we had more money, we might
have been able to accept one to Australia
or a Caribbean cruise," stated bass player
Marie Bayer.
Because no auditions were held, any
string player was eligible to join the Strings
in exchange for a three-hour weekly

accomplishments achieved by the Golden
Strings were showcased in the November
issue of National Music magazine.
Quietly, but steadily, the Chamber
Orchestra continued to expand their
versatile repertoire of the "masters." "To
play in this group gives those students who
wish to continue their musical studies a new
dimension of music," explained Mr. Nosal.
The 34 members combined talents with
the Symphony Orchestra for the majority of
their performances, but Tuesday night
rehearsals refined solo numbers, "Air" and
"St. Paul's Suite for String Orchestra," for
the Winter Orchestra Concert on January
25. On May 3, they collaborated with the
Snap-On Tools and MGV Harmonia choirs
in "Battle Hymn of the Republic" as the
Spring Concert climax.
Both groups formed a part of the
evening program offered by the music
department. "Both the Golden Strings and
Chamber Orchestras have improved my
techniques immensely and have given me
greater pride in my instrument," concluded
violinist Debbie Fisher.

The oboe tuned concert A. Individuals
quickly ran passages, and nervous chatter·
ing rushed between friends. All sounded out
the final minutes before the concert.
Comprised of strings and wind instruments,
the 80 member Symphony Orchestra
exemplified musical talents and interpreta·
tions through three performances.
During the first three months of school,
the orchestra planned, scheduled and
practiced to prepare for their first concert.
On January 25, "Russian and Ludmilla"
and "Overture 'Candide' " enhanced the
orchestra's performance. "The Overture
provided a lighter atmosphere for the
audience because of its carnival implications," recalled violinist Melissa Diederich.
After the first concert, the orchestra
sight-read new music in preparation for the
annual Orchestra Festival held on March 19
at the Kenosha Unified Field House. "Not
only does the Festival allow each group to

exhibit its capabilities, but it also gives the
more experienced groups the chance to set
a good example for the younger musicians,"
commented violinist Rita Farago. Under the
orchestration of guest conductor Dr. Donald
Portnoy, the group collaborated with eight
other orchestras in the district to perform
"March from Carmen," selections from
"Fame," and "Great Gate of Kiev."
Moreover, they combined with the Bradford
orchestra to execute Beethoven's "Egmont
Overture." As their solo, the orchestra
selected the "Glenn Miller Fantasy," which
was arranged by "Red" McLeod.
According to Mr. Stanley Nosal, every
performance was important; however, the
last concert, on May 3, was the most
memorable. "It was the last concert for
graduating seniors and the first concert that
the orchestra combined with community
groups. I believe we have started something
that will be done all over the nation in

coming years," remarked Mr. Nosal.
The Seegers' Senior Strings opened
the concert with old favorites such as "Beer
Barrel Polka" and "Five Foot Two." The
orchestra concluded the first part of the
concert with "Selections from E.T." During
the interlude, the M.G.V. Harmonia filled
the air with German folk songs while the
Snap-On Tools Chorus entertained the
audience with "sing-alongs" such as
"Wagon Wheels" and "Chiapenecas."
Under the direction of Mr. Nosal, the
orchestra harmonized with the two male
choirs to perform the finale, "Battle Hymn
of the Republic." The performance received
a spontaneous standing ovation. Selected by
his peers, Jeff Hagopian accepted the
National School Orchestra Association
Award. "It was an honor to receive such
a distinction," he concluded.

"The blend of treble voices appeals to
me more than being a part of a mixed choir.
This influenced me to join the Treble Clef
choir," explained three year member Alma
Nowola.
On December 2, under the direction of
Mr. Peter Perkins, the Treble Clef choirs
presented the audience with "Simple Gifts,"
a piece adapted by Aaron Copland. The
Treble Clef choir made up of 18 junior and
senior girls, performed " On Christmas
Night," a sussex melody by Morten Luvaas.
"The second song, 'Messe Basse' included
four movements. I think it's good to sing
foreign-styled songs; it was a very pretty
Latin piece," explained junior soloist Robin
Hultz.
The 56 member sophomore Treble
Clef choir performed two separate pieces.
"The Nightengale" summarized the story of
a bird with medium tempo, while "Heavenly
Father" drew a slow religious rhythm.
On February 19, Tremper hosted the
annual city-wide choral festival. Seven
schools including five junior highs, Tremper

and Bradford, filled the gymnasium with
folk songs, gospel tunes and love ballads.
The combined Treble Clef choirs blended
voices and entertained the audience singing
"Pavanne for Spring" led by guest
conductor Mr. Eph Ehly, director of Choral
Studies at the University of Missouri.
Representing Tremper, the two Treble Clef
choirs harmonized from "Three Spanish
Ballades" two songs entitled "Come at
Dawn" and " Moon Song" composed by
Eugene Butler. "I enjoyed 'Moon Song'
because it was a love song with a slow
tempo, " commented sophomore Kim
Lawler.

Discipline Adds Pizazz

Style Swings
Through the vigors of first-year choral
director Mr. Peter Perkins, innovative styles
and standards powered an energetic season
for both the Choraliers and Concert Choir.
Due to time demands of Madrigal
performances, auditions for Choraliers were
held during January for fourteen positions.
After selections, six hours of weekly singing
and dancing rehearsed the group to reach
entertaining standards. These routines were
choreographed by ex-Kenoshan Tom
Terrien.
On March 25, the Choraliers traveled
to UW-Parkside to see the UW-Milwaukee
Vocal Jazz Ensemble. "I was impressed by
the many different styles and techniques
involved in vocal jazz performances,"
commented senior Chris Mick.
The Choraliers swung into "Georgia
On My Mind" and a medley of "big band"
hits at the February 26 Annual Super Show.
These selections, along with many others
including "Birdland" and "Charleston,
Flappers and Razzamatazz," added pizazz

to the Variety Show March 10-12. "Being
a part of the Variety Show was both an
exciting and rewarding challenge," concluded senior Marie Hernandez.
The Choraliers joined with other vocal
groups to perform at the May 19 Spring
Choral Concert. Along with their performance, soloist selections by Kim Goff, Scott
Gallo, Mike Stebbins, Marie Hernandez and
Vicki Impola were featured. A madrigal, "If
Love Be Blind," was sung by the Concert
Choir.
On December 2, Concert Choir
selected "Furn Furn Furn" and "Joseph
Gentle, Mary Mild" to entertain at the
Winter Concert. They harmonized at the
Kenosha District Choral Festival on
February 19, spiritualizing "All My Trials."
They also sang "Come Ye Sons of Art" and
"Gloria" at the WSMA Group Contest April
23, receiving a 2 rating.
"Being involved with Concert Choir
has taught me discipline to be a good
singer," concluded junior Pam Johnson.

Voices Rouse Tempo
Out of 207 people, 39 vocalists were
selected for the elite A Cappella. The
chosen members auditioned in spring 1982
to determine section placement. In the
course of the concert year, A Cappella
vocalized spiritual selections which amplified their performance of the complicated
"Gospel Mass" at the Spring Concert.
As one of the six area choirs chosen, the
group began with an invitation to perform
at the Albion College Invitational Choral
Festival in Michigan on November 13. The
choir selected the spiritual "John Saw Duh
Numbuh" for their performance. "It was an
experience to be directed by Mr. Weston
Noble; moreover, it was an honor to be
chosen as one of the performing groups,"
recalled soprano Jill McKanna.
The Christmas Concert on December 2
was the next show on the agenda. After
many hours of rehearsals, the choir featured

two soloists, Penny Zievers in "Our Savior
Hath A Garden" and Kim Goff in "What
Is This Fragrance." As a finale, A Cappella
highlighted the concert and roused the
audience's Christmas spirit with "Christmas
Cantata."
On February 19, A Cappella took part
in the District Choral Festival. With the
accompaniment of the Orchestra, A
Cappella harmonized with 12 other choirs
under the direction of guest conductor Dr.
Eph Ehly to perform "Down By The
Riverside" and "Come Ye Son of Art."
Alone, the group heralded "Almighty God,"
a religious twentieth century piece.
The choir also participated in the WSMA
Group Contest held on April 23. They
received superior ratings for their Class A
performance, "Verbum caro factum est."
The Spring Concert on May 19 concluded
A Cappela's performances. From the text

of "Songs Of Solomon," the choir melodized

Enriching the feeling of love in autumn, the
group soothed the audience with "Herbstlied." According to bass Mike Stebbins,
"Gospel Mass" was a challenge for the choir
"because it was the longest and most
difficult piece." A bass guitar, drums and
a piano accompanied the choir throughout
the piece.
That evening Kim Goff and Donna
McPhaul received the college scholarships
by the Kenosha Choir Boosters. Kim Goff
also accepted the National School Choral

"Directing a production of this size
took every free minute that I had. Being a
new adviser, I had to learn a great deal in
a short time, but seeing the performers'
happiness with their success made all of the
work worthwhile," explained Mr. Peter
Perkins, director of the eighth "Ye Olde
Englishe Christmasse Feaste. " More than
150 students and faculty collaborated in the
December 9 to 15 feaste held at the Elks
Club.
As the primary source of entertainment, the Madrigal Singers set the
atmosphere for a night of sixteenth century
merriment. They introduced each segment
of the meal through such songs as "The
Boar's Head Carol" and "Flaming Pudding
Carol." "The positive reaction communicated to us by the guests in the receiving line
makes my Christmas special," commented
three-year member Brenda Ricard.
In addition to the feaste, the Madrigal
Singers performed throughout Kenosha and
enhanced the December 2 Choral Concert
and the Human Tolerance Assembly on
December 17.
Musicians played a key role in
controlling the tempo of the feaste. An
atmosphere resembling that of the Renaissance was created by virginal player Marie
Hernandez and other "old-time" instruments such as recorders and krummhorns directed by Mr. Greg Carpenter. In
addition to these groups, the Strings
Ensemble worked under the direction of Mr.
Stanley Nosal to provide background music.
Directed by Mr. James Firchow, fanfares
played by the Brass Ensemble added

formality to the announcement of each
event.
The clash of fencers' blades produced
excitement among the audience. Directed
by Miss Jean Schulz, the fencers composed
a skit highlighting an unknown knight who
overcame the defending champion to attain
a title of squire.
Adding to the yuletide spirit, the cast
featured an array of entertainers including
jesters, jugglers and tumblers. Coached by
Mr. Terry Lawler, the jesters supplied
humor for the feaste through improvisation.

Alliances Reach Out
Community involvement was the key to
success for Quad School, Wisconsin Lung
and Fencing Club participants. Members
worked at promoting friendships, educating
younger students and displaying talents
acquired through their club activities.
Strengthening the communication
between Bradford, Ruether, St. Joe's and
Tremper, the Quad School Committee
selected ten students from each school for
an exchange. Having attended Bradford as
a first quarter exchange student, junior
Cathy Campolo emphasized the significance
of the program as "being an important link
in the unity of area high school students."
Students mingled on the dance floor
April 22 for the annual Quad School Dance
at Bradford High School. Each school had
a turn to sound an hour of favorite songs
as the night's entertainment.

Informing the community's youth about
the effects of smoking, the Wisconsin Lung
Association capitalized on using high school
students to influence younger children.
Through slide presentations, demonstrations, and question and answer sessions,
members emphasized the dangers of
smoking to fifth and sixth graders in all area
elementary schools. They explained the
effects of smoking on the lungs by
demonstrating the smoking process on foam
lungs.
"I'm glad to be a part of the educating
of younger students," commented senior
Jeff Dreher. "The earlier they learn the
hazards of smoking, the better prepared
they will be when making their own

decisions."
Fencers donned dueling jackets, masks
and gloves for a semester of foil fencing.
Adviser Miss Jean Schultz taught fencing
styles and techniques to club participants.
While Fencing Club members sharpened dueling skills, Madrigal Feaste
participants memorized simulated duel
routines. The selection of Madrigal Feaste
fencers was based on abilities during a
try-out session at a weekly meeting in
October. "Being in front of so many people
those three nights in December made
remembering the routine difficult at times,"
explained senior Whitney Harman, "but I
was glad to be able to perform for our
community."

reporting, Tempest strived to arouse the
attention of the student body.
Covering the scenes with more photos
was the start. Dropping the regular typed
pages and adapting the tabloid format set
the stage for the bi-monthly informer. Since
employing this style, the paper has had to
be sent to Burlington to be printed on a
rotary press rather than being photo copied.
"We feel we benefit by our new style, and
it saves us money," commented Rhonda
Payne, Tempest Editor.
"We found that the information in the
Squall was already known through the
announcements," stated Ann Althoff. "This
caused us a waste of time and money that
we could put Into our Tempest newspaper."
Thus, the Squall was abolished.
At the beginning of the school year,
$1000 was borrowed from the school fund
In order to get the presses rolling. Because
the staff wanted to eliminate this loan in the
future, they raised $150 by selling 107
stuffed animals at Christmas time and $300
on a candy sale. "We seem to be doing
alright. Everybody does their share, and
with the aid of our funds we bought a
Mamiya ZE camera," stated Business
Manager Dean Fairbanks. "We are now
putting more photography and less artwork

in the paper," Fairbanks concluded.
"Matching student artwork with the
right form of literature is our goal," stated
Ms. Althea Lee, literary magazine adviser.
In the past the artwork for Calliope has
primarily been clip art screened behind the
type by the printing department. With the
aide of the art teachers spreading the word ,
the publication collected enough artwork to
"cut out" the clip art.
During the after school hours in Ms.
Lee's room, the six staffers read each short
story, poem, theme and sonnet aloud in
order to get the criticisms of the whole staff.
"We picked the art and literary work to
match each other and fit the times, "
commented Pam Johnson.
Positions of editorship were dropped
after it was found that everybody was
working on all aspects of the magazine. "We
are small in number, but we got the job
done on time for the deadline," stated
Tricia Arentz.

DECA Campaigns

FBLA Trains
Candy bar, cookie and concert T-shirt
sales indoctrinated DECA and FBLA clubs
to the demands of the business world.
Through these dealings, members learned
social and vocational skills, along with
career supportive competencies.
To develop leadership qualities, DECA
focused on community oriented projects.
They pounded the court during a basketball
telethon in early December to raise over
$100 for the Midwest Athletes against
Childhood Cancer Fund. Labor Day weekend, members also answered telephone
donation calls for the Jerry Lewis Telethon
at Regency Mall.
On January 21, President John Ronzia
and Ursula Rojina attended the District 3
and 8 Conference at UW-Whitewater.
Ronzia received first place in finance and
credit operations, honorable mention in
finance and credit selling and in overall
series. Rojina earned an honorable mention
in management merchandising.
Anne Davey, Betty Randle and Tonia
Rye attended a Leadership Lab Development Conference at Alpine Valley, with
over 200 other state DECA members, "We
learned that listening is an important
attribute if a person is to become a leader,"
explained senior Tonia Rye.
During January 10-21, DECA featured
Anti-Shoplifting campaigns at 15 area elementary schools. These presentations consisted of a fifteen-minute film and a tenminute speech about the effects on the
community and individuals.
To give a better perspective of the job
situation and job interview, Mr. Ken Neill
from Wisconsin Job Service spoke at
FBLA's November 11 club meeting. Mr.
Eugenio Amador, Snap-On Tools International Sales Manager, also lectured on the
importance of international business at
the December 9 business breakfast held at
the Elk's Club. Funds raised during the

club's Bikes candy sale October 18
supported events, a field trip to Milwaukee
Mutual Life, leadership workshops and competitions, and the club's May 25 banquet.
Region VI FBLA members gathered on
February 5 for leadership workshops and
competitions. Members Kelley Smith, Keri
Larsen, Ursula Rojina, Laura Zielinski and
David Berg competed in clerk-typist II, job
interview, economics, poster making and
business communications, respectively.
President Keri Larsen and member
Ursula Rojioa both placed second to advance to the State Leadership Conference
May 12-14. Vice-president Laura Zielinski
attended as an FBLA delegate. "The
conference enlightened all FBLA organizations on the vast advancements of computer
technology in the business field."
During the Christmas season, four club
members visited shady Lawn Nursing
Home-West to carol residents and play
Bingo. For the Adopt-A-Grandparent program, four members visited their "grandparents" every other week to talk, play
games or go for walks.
Because DECA and FBLA are national
organizations, both encourage members to
extend or compete with business skills at
State levels. Charitable community projects
also rounded out social skills.

Talents Soar
Through spring ceremonies, 172
outstanding students were recognized by
Quill & Scroll and National Honor Society
for creativity, dedication and superior
achievements in journalism and academics.
Along with ranking in the top third of
their class, Quill & Scroll members contributed at least one semester to CLASSIC,
Tempest, Calliope, New Voice Radio or
WGNT- TV. "Outstanding journalism such
as the All-American yearbook and Gallop
award-winning newspaper typifies the work
of selected students," commented President
Cheryl Baetz.
On April 26, a banquet at the Italian
American Club celebrated Quill & Scroll
initiations. Following a buffet dinner of
chicken, beef and mostaccoli, new members
were Inducted by Baetz, Vice-President Pat
Fuller, Secretary-Treasurer Rhonda Payne
and adviser Mrs. Sandra Jacoby. Outlining
the details of Interviewing and writing
techniques, guest speaker Mr. Harl on
Draeger discussed personal experiences as
a reporter for the Chicago Sun- Times to
conclude the evening.
Quill & Scroll continued to lay the
groundwork for an active organization
through official membership records . Also,
members serviced the Forensics Sub-District
meet on March 12 with juice, baked goods
and doughnuts, raising $30 to supplement
banquet expenses.
Maintaining a 4.8 gradepoint average
for three successive semesters qualified
students for membership In National Honor
Society. "To be part of such a prestigious
group was worth all of the extra time and
effort that I put Into my studies," said
Treasurer Tom Crosetto.
Performances by the Golden Strings
and the A Cappella Choir distinguished
March 24 Inductions. During the candle-

lighting ceremony, President Roger Yonkoski, Vice-President Debra Barnett, Crosetto
and senior member Paul Saksvig gave
speeches exemplifying scholarship, leadership, character and service, the qualities of
NHS members. After pledging loyalty,
initiates were honored with certificates
presented by Principal Robert Clark.
Under the direction of advisers Mrs.
Mary Lou Bauer and Mr. Andrew Fennema,
the group held a dance on April 15, at
which $375 was raised for scholarship
funds .
In addition to being nationally recognized, both groups are comprised of only
10% of the student body. " The experience
of being in both groups has strengthened my
leadership abilities, " concluded senior
Tracey Kennedy.

Donors Throb to National Record

'Irish' Pum.p Out 695
On March 17 and 18, Student Congress members arrived at 6 a.m. to set up
for the fifth Annual Blood Drive. St.
Patrick's Day brought a lucky 389 donors
to set a national record for the most pints
collected in one day.
Though continuous coverage from
WRKR, WLIP, WJZQ and the Kenosha
News generated an estimated 100 walk-in
donors, the large amount of no-shows,
deferrals and rain broke the momentum as
the total peaked at 695 pints, 73 pints shy
of the 1981 national record. "A blood drive,
no matter how large or small, is a satisfying
project from which the participants can
appreciate the priceless gift they have
given," commented Publicity chairperson
Cindy Beardsley.
In September, the question of having
another drive was heavily debated by
Congress due to last year's problems
associated with difficulty in verifying age
validity. Officials from the Blood Center
pleaded with the Congress to continue the
drive since it has furnished a key portion
of the spring blood supply. Director Ron
Franzmeier promised the Congress' choice
of dates, a double shift of nurses, and his
supervision. After extensively discussing the
pros and cons, Congress voted unanimously
in favor of the drive. "We decided that the
amount of people that we help was more

important than any problems that we might
have," explained co-chairperson Jodie
Brandes.
Congress launched the blood drive with
kick-off ceremonies on February 11 during
the noon hours. As the final bars of the
national anthem faded, 200 red and white
helium balloons were released into the air
by committee chairpersons. Principal
Robert Clark and Assistant Principal Elvin
Kranen joined Superintendent John
Hosmanek, Board President Joan Haubrich
and Blood Center representative Sue
Sounders in voicing their support of the
drive . Following the ceremony, Congress
members and club presidents celebrated
with pizza and pop. A kick-off dance was
held on February 18 which raised $400.
"When You've Got It, Give It" was
chiefly organized by chairpersons Adell Frye
and Jodie Brandes. Through five weeks of
recruitment, 800 sign-ups were acquired,
with sophomore Heidi Fluhrer leading the
group with 56.
The Publicity committee attained
national coverage for the first time through
a feature article in the May issue of Student
Advocate. Assisted by the Recruitment
committee, members also papered the
school and community with posters and
flyers announcing the drive. An In-School
Recruiting Day was sponsored on March 12

to promote last-minute student sign-ups.
Along with placing donors in 15-minute
time slots, the Scheduling committee
checked the birthdates on all student cards
to eliminate the possibility of underage
donors. In the Commons, student donor
names were placed among "Tremper's
Heart Throbs" by the Work Force
committee, while thermometers charted the
weekly progress of total sign-ups.
After giving blood, donors indulged in
sub sandwiches, baked goods and beverages
served by the Refreshment committee. Bun
and juice donations from local supermarkets
and bakeries minimized expenses. Uncle
Munchie's also donated bumper stickers
endorsing the drive and offered a 25¢
discount on subs to all donors.
In its five years of existence, the annual
blood drive has consistently been the largest
two-day drive in the country. Though
breaking records has always been important, chairperson Adell Frye cited this
year's goal as "to save as many lives as
possible."

Athleties
Despite fan apathy for even the
"big draw" sports from football to
basketball, the Student Faculty Game
gusted through the midyear lull.
Padded pink "tadpoles," Mr. Tuttle's
lower lip stitches and surprise player,
the "Bear," made up for being blown
off the court by the fearsome faculty.
As such, athletic competition aroused
a social atmosphere that attracted and
united serious "jocks" and Friday
night sock hoppers.
Cutting away at the rivalry, the
red and blue threads of Bradford and
Tremper guys gymnastics squads were
woven into the Kenosha Gymnastics
team. Fueling the rivalry fires though,
the girls basketball varsity sank a
jumper to squeeze by the Red Devils
in a 50-4 7 double overtime victory.
Snow bunnies' spirits froze when
winter never arrived, leaving skis and
snowmobiles unpowdered. Bob Ward,
though, swam in the 100 meter
freestyle to a state championship for
a Tremper first.
Uncooperative weather also
washed out the spring sports season,
flooding the girls' softball team with six
rainouts that lined up five games in
seven days. Trojan territory staked its
claim in Madison again as the 10th
ranked state doubles team of Bob
Baker and Mike Ohlen epitomized the
squad's faultless three year record.
Lack of fans, seniors experience
and favorable weather failed to deter
competitors from attaining personal
goals. With the ever-present yearn for
the blue ribbons, athletes struggled
with an inner drive to distinguish
themselves as a team and as
individuals "Back in Blue."

With 10 minutes left in the first soccer
game of the season, the soccer team stalled,
trailing 1-0. Desperately in need of the tying
goal, Bob Falcon suddenly received a pass
and broke for the net. Eluding a defender,
he kicked a towering shot which appeared
to be a certain goal, but to the dismay of
Trojan players, the ball hit the crossbar and
fell harmlessly back into the playing field .
The Trojans crumpled to a 1-0 loss.
"The Prairie game symbolized our
entire season," reflected Co-Captain Mark
Maegaard. "It seemed we were always so
close, but still came up short."
In their second season, the team
finished with a disappointing 7-9 record.
The goal of a championship had seemed
within reach as the Trojans began the
season by winning five of the first seven
games, including an exciting 2-1 victory
over Bradford.
"Beating Bradford the first time was
the high point of the season since Bradford
beat Tremper twice last year," remarked
first year coach Paul Zabaroni.
By the third match, the Trojans
realized that if they could generate enough
offense to score points, they would win since
they were backed by a tough defense. The
defense proved itself on September 14 in
a game against Milwaukee Tech by stopping
the Tech Trojans cold. Bill Chase's goal
clinched the 1-0 win. Just two days later
Tremper clashed with Racine Case and
scored its second straight shutout (2-0) on
goals by left wing Bob Falcon and stopper
Chris Benbow.
After beating Milwaukee Pulaski 3-2
for their third straight win, Tremper's
offense was shut down as they lost their
next four games, scoring a total of only one
point. "We started out strong, but then we
took the games too lightly and underestimated our opponents," stated halfback Don
Harmeyer.
The most frustrating point in the

season was when Tremper met up with
Racine Park and lost 2-0. Although the
entire game was played virtually in front of
the Park goal, the team could not score
despite taking thirty-two shots at that goal.
In hope of somehow ending the scoring
slump, Coach Zabaroni intensified the
practice sessions, and the players concentrated on shooting and passing drills. The
drills proved helpful on October 12. The
Trojans came alive as Chase and midfielder
Jack Bornheuter each scored to give
Tremper a 2-1 victory .
With four games remainil)g, the 4-4
record made apparent that the conference
championship was out of reach, and
concentration centered on the October 28
Bradford rematch. "The Bradford game
was very important since the team who won
would advance to sectionals," explained
Coach Zabaroni.
In the grueling battle, Tremper scored
first on a penalty shot by Bill Chase and
led 1-0 at halftime. In the second half,
Bradford scored two straight goals and was
winning until Chase hit another penalty shot
to tie it up at two. The game ended in a
tie, and the teams were forced into a five
minute overtime. Neither team could
penetrate the other's defense , and after one
overtime, the score remained tied. Midway
through the second overtime, disaster struck
for the Trojans when Bradford's Steve
Seymour headed in a corner kick to clinch
the 3-2 win.
Although the team was disappointed
with its season record, they boasted five
All-Conference players including Chase,
Maegaard, Benbow, Ivan Ireland and
freshman goalie Mike Falcon. Co-Captain
Chase, who led the team in scoring with 14
goals, summed up the season, "Even though
we weren't very consistent all season,
having five out of twenty all-conference
players evidenced how tough individuals on
our team were."

Charge To Pride
After Devil Upset, Trojans Tackle Mil. Vincent
On the night of September 3, a fierce
battle churned the lush green surface of
Anderson Field. This contest had traditionally named the Trojans victors over Bradford
14 times in the 16 years of the rivalry.
However, tradition alone did not assure
victory in the game. This painful lesson the
football team learned as they suffered an
ironic 21-7 loss to Bradford.
The statistics clearly showed the many
costly mistakes. The offense rushed for only
67 yards, coughed up two fumbles and
struggled for five first downs. On the other
hand, Bradford accumulated a devastating
238 total yards, 12 first downs and
completed 50% of their pass attempts. In
the week following the game, the team
returned to pre-season training tactics.
"After the Bradford game, it was
evident that the team needed to go back
through the fundamentals," commented
Defensive Coach Mark Schenk. "They were
a young team that needed more time before
things would fall into place."
Milwaukee North became the target.
During the contest, the boys successfully
executed defensive plays, holding North to
93 yards rushing, four punts and one
fumble. On offense, Scott Quilling, a shifty
back, rushed for 137 yards in just 12
carries. By following the prime blocking of
the front line, the team won, 44-11.
To continue the trend, the team
destroyed Milwaukee Custer, 35-0. The
offense rushed for a total of 294 yards,
while the defense held Custer's poor offense

to a mere 124 yards, one fumble and four
punts.
Elsewhere in the Milwaukee Area
Conference, Milwaukee Vincent was compiling an undefeated record. "We really
wanted to beat Vincent," said safety Joe
Stancato. "We knew what we had to do in
order to accomplish it, also."
On Vincent's home turf, the boys
shined with excellence. In the first quarter,
quarterback Rich Sniatynski set the pace
with a 74 yard score off a pitch play. He
also completed a key pass to Mike Heyden
who scampered in for a 24 yard score.
Seven minutes into the third quarter,
Heyden grasped another Sniatynski pass
and charged 51 yards for the Trojan's third
touchdown.
With an interception early in the fourth
quarter, linebacker Kip Des Armo was
responsible for a Vincent turnover. Des
Armo danced the ball in to take a 27-6 lead.
Moments later, Jeff Stanich snatched a
second interception on the Trojan 37.
Stanich's defensive play destroyed a last
minute onslaught and secured a victory.
"That had to be one of the biggest thrills
of my career," said Coach Ron Davies. "To
beat a team like Vincent feels so good."
The Vincent game stood fast in the
minds of the players as a symbol of their
ability to win.
In the closing games, however, the
team could not hold fast to the winning
spirit. They suffered losses in two of their
last four games.

"Considering our lack of big players,
our defense accomplished the difficult
job of slowing down the quick and
elusive MAC offenses."
Captain Kip DesArmo

"Despite our offensive line problems,
we came through as a solid team, able
to move the football on key."

Pre-game Stats Tally Goals and Wins
Used to mop sweat off tense brows, to
shower fatigued bodies, and to wisk mud,
water, and chalk off cleats, floors and
palms, 89,100 towels are laundered 180

an even greater role in pre and post
competition than the stats themselves.
Numbers are the repetitions that make
dreams become realities in the sport's
world.
To score one of the 24 touchdowns this
past season, 3.12 tons of muscle lugged ten
pounds of equipment back and forth across
a 100 yard playing surface. Though the
team members were not required to lift
weights out of season, Coach Ron Davies
highly recommended it. During a single
week of weight training a player muscled
his way through 16 sets a day or up to 59
sets a week. For the power to block, bench
pressing and curls bulged shoulder and
chest muscles. For the speed and the brute
strength to stop opposing defensive
onslaughts, squats and power cleaning sets
delivered the pain necessary to gain upper
and lower body power.
Averaging six feet and a half inch, boys
basketball stood a mere two and a half feet
under the net. Compensating for the lack
of height, the vertical leap "skyed" players

pounds of pressure. Jumping, shooting,

the steamy pool balcony strengthen the
wrestler to "stick" his opponent. To spike
the ball over a six foot net, a volleyball
player grinds out 30 minutes of calisthenics

top notch endurance.
Prematurely plunging into the 250,000

a season of swimming. Practicing with fins,
a swimmer splashes 320 lengths of the pool.
Fourteen 50 yard sprint-ladders stress the
cardio vascular system forging stamina to

Six sets of 40 yard windsprints, 15
minutes of jump rope and 20 minutes of
running quicken tennis players' net play and
deep returns. Pounding out five to twelve
grueling miles a day, cross country distance
runners exhausted Nike Daybreaks.
Gallons of sweat, sore muscles and the
"push beyond" endurance pack pride into
every moment of game glory. Even the jilt
of a team loss fails to dull the personal
gratification of sinking a basket at the
buzzer. The numbers from three years of
practice score the personal goals, the

Unrelentless Momentum

Diving for Every Shot, Five Trojans Surge to W.l.A.A. State Berths
"The success of the tennis team
resulted from every member being in a
winning frame of mind. We played every
point as if it were match point, never letting
up the pressure," explained three year
letter winner Patrice Ewald.
In the opening Conference meet
against Hamilton, Tremper was down 2-3
with two doubles teams still battling on the
courts. With Hamilton pitting all its strength
in the singles matches, only the Trojan
doubles teams could sieze the advantage.
For three hours, the pressure was on the
number two team of Mary Correa and
Rachel Lepp; yet the first set slipped away
(7-6). The Trojans controlled the second set
with aggressive net play (6-2). Caught in a
tie-breaker, Correa and Lepp charged the
net to win the set (7-6). "The tie-breaker
was tense, but all we concentrated on was
winning," stated Mary Correa, two year
letter winner. The number three doubles
team of Sue Hauke and Julie Selsberg also
mentally overpowered their opponents to
seal the match 4-3.
The Trojans' unrelentless drive held
throughout the conference dual meet
season, edging ahead of Park 4-3. The other
,conference opposition easily succumbed to
the tennis aces.
The first day of the Conference
Championships at Milwaukee's Wick park,
the Trojans advanced six out of seven
entries to the semi-finals. Only one point
ahead of Custer, Hamilton and Park, the
Trojans returned determined to stay on top.
After a rain delay, Van-anh Tran lost her

momentum and confidence in the finals. " I
psyched myself up and told myself the team
depended on first place points." Tran 's
strategy of a short shot followed by a deep
lob reversed the score to win the match
(5- 7)(6-4)(6-3) against Hamilton's number
four singles Sue Bierbaum.
In the battle for first place singles and
the Conference Championship, Beth Barden
neutralized Hamilton's Lisa Barnikki, who
was ranked sixth in the state. Despite
Barden's five match points, her net play and
patience slipped to lose (6-4)(3-6)(5-7). Her
second place scored an additional two
points to the Trojans' 41. In the final tally,
Hamilton fell behind by three points. "Each
girl gave 100% during the practices and at
the meet; that drove us to the title,"
reflected Coach Henry Thurman.
At the Sectional meet, Euting and
Althoff reacted to each other's play to wipe
out Whitewater (6-3)(6-2) and Horlick's
number two team (6-3)(6-1). In the finals,
communication lagged, and Euting and
Althoff fell to the power of Horlick's top
team of Margo Lucarelli and Jodi Aronin
(6-3)(5-7)(5-7). Patrice Ewald and Wendy
Owen, number two doubles, dove for every
shot to upset the number one seed of
Whitewater (6-4)(6-2) and clinched a berth
at the State meet. Barden's first in number
one singles boosted the team's standings to
a sectional second behind Horlick.
At the W.I.A.A. State meet, Euting
and Althoff fell to Oshkosh North (7-5)(7-5).

While MAC competitors piled up first
places, the girls swim team washed out the
opponents with back-up points. Consistent
third and fourth place finishes from
freestylers Tina Adams and Betsy Runge
boosted team scores while first and second
placings by sprinter Karen Ewens and
butterflier Nicki Nudie clinched the wins.
The team rolled onward, drowning
their first five opponents by an average of
33 points per meet. The true test came,
however, when they met the other leading
team in the MAC, Racine Park. The
Panthers were known for their overwhelming power, but shallow numbers. The
Trojans and the Panthers proudly owned
undefeated records. Tremper could beat
Park only if the girls surged into higher
placings for back-up points and if Ewens
and Nudie finished either first or second.
"We were down," said specialty
swimmer Jackie Valerie. "Nobody wanted
to try. We gave up before the first event."
Feelings of defeat drowned the spirits of the
Trojans; consequently, Park swept past the
girls 52-71. Desperate attempts were made
to spark up the flat swimmers. Sprinter
Ewens charged to a first and a second in
the 50 and 100 yard freestyle events,
respectively. Nudie accompanied the surge
by flying to a second in the 100 yard
butterfly and to a third in the 50 yard
freestyle. The results were futile; Park
simply smothered the Trojans, placing first
in ten of eleven events.
A change had to be made in order to

recapture the lost spirit. "Mr. Brand really
gave it to us," said Nudie. "Nobody knew
what to say; we only knew our problem and
tried to adjust." Two days after the Park
disaster, the team emerged as a powerhouse, washing away defending conference
champions Milwaukee Marshall 73-54.
Ewens sprinted to a first in the 50 yard
freestyle with a personal best 27 .3 and a
second in 100 yd. free . Nudie flew to a
lifetime best 107 .3 in the butterfly and
finished first. Runge and Adams added to
the winning spirit, placing second and third
in their respective events, the 500 and 200
yard freestyles . Specialty swimmer Donna
Broesch stroked to thirds in the 100
backstroke and 200 individual medley,
tallying the winning points.
The remainder of the season flowed in
much the same manner. The girls continued
to outnumber, emotionally overwhelm, and
outscore their opponents.
At the Conference Championship,
Park once again haunted the Trojan
swimmers. With firsts in all but four of
eleven events, the Panthers easily conquered the Trojans 326-273.
Ewens once again displayed her talents
as she placed second in the 50 and 100
yard sprints. Nudie placed third in the 100
butterfly with a disappointed 108.5.
"We had terrible head cramps," said
Coach Greg Brand. "They finally came
around and realized they could beat better
teams. By the end of the season, they were
the team I wanted them to be."

Defy Distance
Promising Start Paces Conference First
Despite faltering in organized invitationals and progressing slowly on individual
times, the Boys Cross Country team pooled
their competitive knowledge and stamina to
capture the MAC championship. Four
Tremper runners crossed the finish line in
the top ten to conclude the meet with a
team victory. Captain Jeff Dreher won the
meet with a time of 16:24, 29 seconds
ahead of second place. Other top ten
runners who insured victory were Curt
Mueller, third, with a time of 17:03; Bob
Beyer, nineth, with a time of 17:25; and
Kevin Smith, tenth, with a time of 17:28 .
"This team has talent that they don't always
want to use," commented Coach Chuck
Bradley. "Hopefully, the Conference
championship will act as a motivator for
Sectionals."
On a chilly October 23, eight teams
from the southeastern section of the state
gathered at Racine Johnson Park for the
running of the WIAA Boys' Sectionals. As
the only Trojan to secure a run at State,
Dreher stretched to finish second at 16:02,
a mere two seconds behind Paul Hernandez
of Case. Yet, Tremper sustained third out
of eight teams. Beyer, Smith and Brent
Mueller ran the course among the top 30
The running of the first meet, the Ninth
Annual Tremper Invitational, had projected
just such a close performance. Coach
Bradley at that meet had backed up his
team with satisfactory comments. "The first

year runners were a pleasant surprise. It
looks like we have the potential to become
a good team." The runners tallied in the top
ten with Dreher sprinting across the finish
line for a second place time of 15:52. Curt
Mueller finished ninth at 17:12.
As the season progressed, disheartened attitudes and a lack of motivation put
a damper on what had promised to be a
successful season, according to Coach
Bradley. At the first and only dual meet,
runners took their cross town rivals in stride
and reigned over Bradford 24 to 39.
Despite the win, times were not much
improved and, in some cases, lower than the
Tremper Invitational times two weeks prior
on the same course. Curt Mueller was fourth
with a time of 16:05, thirteen seconds
slower than his previous time.
This tempo plagued the distance
runners in three of the five remaining
invitationals. Dreher, however, strode to
constant top finishes in the style that paced
him to State. Finishing 20 at State, Dreher
commented, "I had a very successful year,
winning over half of the meets I competed
in, but lost confidence at State with no
teammates pushing me to do well as a team
effort."
Returning only two runners in the top
six had handicapped the Trojans with
inexperience all season. Yet, the comeback
win at the MAC championships dispelled
earlier disillusionment with running below
potential.

"This was one of the most capable
distance teams ever for Tremper,
despite a lack of experience."
Captain Jeff Dreher

"The seniors really wanted to take the
sectionals, but the feeling alone
couldn't carry us through ."

Weak Stride
Inexperience Adds up to Dismal Season
In varsity competition, a team respects
seniors for their leadership and relies on
their athletic ability and experience to pave
the way to victory; yet the girls cross
country team temporarily denied this
necessity at the Southside Championships.
Later, though, they were to be haunted by
this handicap.
On a calm, cool September 16 at
Dretzka Park, Milwaukee, girls cross
country finished second out of five at the
MAC Southside Championships. The girls
scored strongly by placing three runners in
the top ten and finishing the competition
with their outstanding performance of the
season. During the meet, sophomore Wendy
Hunkeler sprinted off the two mile course
with a first place time of 12:50 over heavily
favored Gloria Thomas of Milwaukee South.
Other important finishes for the
Trojans came from freshmen Natalie Hujik,
eighth, with a time of 14:04, and Kristen
Dennis, tenth, with a time of 14:13. Coach
Chuck Bradley, head coach for the past
eight years, commented, "The girls ran well
today; Wendy did a super job against a
tough competitor, and Natalie and Polly
Keyes, a 20 place finisher, are maturing into
a pair of very good runners." Milwaukee
Bay View won the meet with a dominating
25 points, 36 points ahead of the Trojans.
Unfortunately for the girls, their
endurance didn't hold out, and the lack of
senior leadership prevailed. On a beautiful
October day, the girls ran to a fourth place
out of eight teams at the MAC Championships. Only Hunkeler registered a third
among top runners. Natalie Hujik said, "As
an individual I was hoping to do much better
at Conference, but our team's lack of
experience was evident in the end."

"Harder work and ten mile workouts
could have proved advantageous to
our team's competitive performance."
Kristen Dennis

Tremper tallied 124 points, behind Racine
Park, Milwaukee Madison, and Bay View,
who took the meet with a score of 43 points.
Shortly after the meet, Coach Bradley
stated, "A fourth place finish was a pleasant
surprise, although it is probably an indication of the weakness of our conference."
Nine days later the girls ran in the
WIAA Sectional Meet. The outcome of this
meet seemed to directly reflect the rest of
the girls season. Due to pre-meet absences
and frustrations, the girls finished out the
day with a discouraging eighth place in the
eight team meet.
"Kristen Dennis and Brit Saksvig were
unable to compete due to a music program
commitment. Nina Macias wasn't feeling
well, and we were left with a sense of
disappointment," commented Coach Bradley. "This should have been a test of our
desire to overcome a frustrating situation,
but we failed to accept the challenge." At
the meet Wendy Hunkeler finished with a
16 place finish with a time of 13:12. "I wish
I had done better at the Sectional meet, but
things just didn't click. We expected to do
better as a team," Hunkeler concluded.

Super Spikers
6-2 Strategy at St. Joe's Invitational Scores
"The loss of leadership from co-captain
Cheryl Baetz due to torn ligaments no doubt
contributed to team inconsistency," said
Coach Peggy Waddell. Despite injuries and
a green team of three returning letter
winners, the Volleyball squad increased
eligible spikers with a 6-2 offense-defense
system to out manuever St. Joseph's
tournament opposition. "Although Bradford
beat us earlier in the season, we had the
confidence to make the 6-2 strategy work.
We knew that working out the positioning
problems could take the tournament,"
explained co-captain Anne Kafer.
In the 6-2 play against St. Joseph's,
Kafer approached the net to set to the left,
enabling Baetz to ace nine devasting spikes.
Emotionally charged, the Trojans drove to
a (15-12) (15-8) win.
In the second match, Tremper dove for
every advantage against Bradford. Edging
ahead the first game (18-16), the Trojan's
blocking neutralized Bradford's center
spiker, Diane Ambruso. Poor placement
plagued Tremper's serving, and the hard
hitting Bradford squad tied up the final
match (9-15). Winning nine out of ten
matches, the Trojans moved down Shoreland, Central and Wilmont to capture the
St. Joseph's Invitational title.
"In review it is apparent that we
peaked too early in the season with our win

at the St. Joseph's Invitational. That was
only a month after we started practice.
Later the team's inconsistency hurt us in
tournaments," recapped Waddell.
During the regular season schedule,
Park succumbed to Tremper's power house
(13-15) (15-6) (15-2). Only three weeks later
in the first game of the Case Invitational,
the Trojans again devasta.ted the Panthers
(15-0); however, in the second match Park
squeaked out (13-15). A change in the
starting line-up's order generated instability,
and the squad dropped to third.
The V-ballers never advanced to the
Conference finals in spite of a second seed.
Lack of communication allowed points to
fall uncontested and typified the faltering
defensive style of play.
Less than a week before Regional
competition the Trojans battled cross town
rivals, Bradford, for over two hours in a post
Conference game. After the first match
slipped by (14-16), the Trojans, led by Jane
Steel, regrouped with aggressive blocking
and spiking to win (15-3) (15-8).
In the W.I.A.A. Regionals, effective
ball placement boosted the Trojans ahead
of Park (15-12) (13-15) (15-12). In the finals
against Bradford, blocking slacked, thus
leaving the court wide open for Devil's
spikers. Unable to get under the ball for the
up from spikes served, the Trojans lost
control of the match (4-15) (5-15) slipping
to a Regional second.
"We had the capability to beat
Bradford as we did just prior to the Regional
Tournament, but inconsistency prevailed

Tough Tumble
Trojans and Devils Connect to Floor Squad
To cut expenses, the Tremper Trojans
and Bradford Devils combined to form one
squad, called the Kenosha Gymnasts. Also,
because of a non-teacher coach, recruitment
was a scramble. "Coming in from the
community, it is hard to build a good
rapport with the student body to be able
to recruit," explained Coach Dan Galbrath.
These conflicts and lack of experience
forced the Trojan dominated squad to press
for individual improvement. Bradford
floored just one athlete.
Despite seven returning letterwinners,
the Kenosha Gymnasts were unable to pull
off a single meet win. "The competition
against Waukesha North, Brookfield Central
and Greendale is top-notch. Many of these
state ranked gymnasts work out all year
long at private clubs," stated vaulter Scott
Anderson. However, arduous work of three
hour practices paid off in perfection of clean
routines, resulting in team total scores
improving 21 points.
In the opening meet against Waukesha
South, Kenosha dominated vaulting with
Rick Shirven' s 7. 7 first place handspring
and Scott Anderson's 7.5 third. Shirven also
lead the team with a 4.04 second place
all-around average.
Three days later the Kenoshans
traveled to Brown Deer and improved the
team score by two. At Waukesha North the
gymnasts stamina and determination was
apparent when Lyndon Mata sprained his
ankle during warm-ups but returned with a
wrapped leg to post a 4.2.
Competing against all 11 teams in the

"When I missed State by three places,
I realized what other competitors had
to put out to get there."
Rick Shirven

"With only two seniors on the squad,
the rest of us were forced to toughen
our mental attitudes."
Lyndon Mata

state except Brookfield Central and
Waukesha South, two gymnasts ranked
ninth. On floor, Jerry Macias executed a
round-off flip-flop back layout in the opening
pass to earn a 7.55. Scoring a 8 .05, Scott
Anderson vaulted a halfon-halfoff and added to the final count of 81 points.
At the Brookfield Central and Greendale triangular, Scott Erickson earned a 4.4
on pommel horse with a hop into two full
circles to leg cuts, placing fourth . With other
high scores Kenosha tallied 94, the highest
team score of the season; however, they
finished third.
In capturing the only Kenoshan first
with a score of 7.4 at Hartland Arrowhead,
Macias landed back layouts and combined
creative movements of two handed front
handspring into a half a back walk-over.
Mata also boosted the final count with a
third all-around average of a 4.56. Mata
swung to two third finishes on still rings and
a 3.95 on high bar.
The gymnasts dismal season continued
at the Conference meet as four gymnasts
just missed state advancement. In spite of
an extra step in consecutive cartwheels,
Macias missed by .35. Scott Anderson
stepped backward costing a .1 deduction
and a state bid. Both Shirven and Mata
ranked 13 with 6.85 on floor .
"Even though we didn't have big tricks
tllis year, we did attain team goals because
we concentrated mainly on cleaning up
routines and presenting good form in the
routines," concluded Co-captain Lyndon
Mata.

Impossible First
Small Numbers Slip to Chalk up One Victory
Tumbled by injuries and a small
turnout, the Girls Gymnastics team was
unable to fill events for competition. Total
team scores did increase every meet in
spite of a single season win. "Despite our
lack of depth, the girls that came out for
the team worked hard and focused on self
improvement," stated Assistant Coach
Chris Kunz.
Highlighted by a first on floor by Diane
Michna and a second on the uneven parallel
bars by Liz Gosch, the Trojans outstripped
Custer with individual talent at the opening
meet. Michna executed a back handspring
back layout earning a 7.3 on floor.
However, because of the lack of depth, the
girls dropped the dual meet. Events were
repeated in the following meet as state
ranked Vincent vaulted past Tremper
74-102.
Overturning a stoop back tuck during
warm ups at the Bradford Invitational,
Co-Captain Mary Ellen Place tore knee
ligaments and was rushed to the hospital.
Demoralized by Place's injury, the Trojans
tried to hold together. With Hope Galbrath's
elegant dance poise and Gosch's suicide
followed by a long hand glide kip, both
gymnasts ranked eighth with scores of 7 .6
and 7 .25 in the Devil Invitational.
Against Hamilton, the squad fell only
four points shy. The following week the
Trojans mounted their first victory. Kris
Eckert's consistency in floor and vault lead

the all-around with a 6.6 average at Bay
View.
At the Bradford dual, the gymnasts
executed solid routines . Despite absence
due to pulled back muscles the prior week
of top floor competitor Michna, the Trojans
scored a season's high of 87. Sticking two
one handed cartwheels on the beam, Debbie
Moore earned a 6.9 to secure third.
Co-Captain Gosch hit her straddle cut
mount and eagle to wrap up a second in
bars with a 7.95.
Competing with only five gymnasts at
the Conference meet because of added
injuries and illnesses, the Trojans could tally
only 37 .5 points. Hope Galbrath's illusions
followed by an aerial cartwheel posted a
6.1, the team's highest score.
The dismal season pressed on through
the Sectional meet. Hope Galbrath tore
back muscles when dismounting off the
beam doing a standing back tuck, and she
was unable to complete floor exercise.
Sectionals were highlighted with only an
eighth place by Michna. A second pass of
an aerial front walk-over into a front
walkover tallied Michna a 7.9. Despite
individual improvement, the Trojans ranked
ninth with 78 points. "Among injuries and
defectors, the team did as well as could be
expected. The emphasis this year was to do
our personal best rather than to team
score," concluded Coach Dave Schani.

"We knew flrst's weren't really
possible, but we all worked hard for
individual improvement."
Diane Michna

"Competing against our last meet's
individual performance s was our
concern which relieved the pressure."

Title Wave

Comeback Swirl Tows in MAC Title and Six State Berths

Saturated with the depth of nine
lettered seniors, the boys' swim team set out
to steal the conference title from the
defending champions, Racine Park. However, four consecutive dual meet losses
dampened the possibilities of a title wave.
In the early dual losses, the only firsts
were tallied by Bob Ward in the 50 and 100
freestyle events, Mark Lees in diving and
the 400 freestyle relay manned by Ward,
Pat Fuller, Paul Huxold and Rob Knickrehm. The opponents washed out the
Trojans by placing up to seven first against
the four.
To break the .500 mark for a season
average the team rebuilt and strengthened
the butterfly, backstroke, breastroke, and
individual medley in order to place in the
top three in these specialty events.
"All through the season, the Seniors
were burdened with the responsibility of
earning the big points of first and second
placings," said Coach Jerry Burmeister.
"They weren't strong enough in the initial
weeks to pull through, but we trained them
a little harder. It was the only way we could
win the conference."
Demanding 6,000 yards of strenuous
cardiovascular repeats, including the use of
drag belts to toughen endurance, Coach
Burmeister powered the team towards
reversing the tide of defeats.
On January 18, the refined team's
speed poured over two unsuspecting
opponents, West Allis Hale and Tosa West.
The team drowned Hale 111-98 and
washed up Tosa 111-77, capitalizing in
seven events and capturing three seconds
and one third in the remaining four.
The 200 medley relay of Huxold,
Fuller, Dean Gerlach, and Ward set the
pace with the opening victory time of
2:43.21. Dominating the 50 and 100
freestyle events with pool record times of
22.7 and 49.7 respectfully, Ward spirited
the team to its win.
"It really felt great to finally win a
meet," said Co-captain Mike Wade, back
stroker. "We put it together and won as
many events as we could."
In a double dual against Bradford and
Cudahay, the squad broke even with an
additional spurt of energy. Five first places
and six seconds in 11 events propelled the
wake which blew Cudahay out of the water
by 40 points and Bradford by 19.
Seniors tallied each victory, earning the
big points with Scott Edwards' personal best
clocking of 5:23.0, which placed second to

Ward's first in the distance race. Ward also
added a 50 free triumph.
To break the .500 mark, the team
streaked past Thomas Moore 64-50. Again,
first places by senior sprinters Gerlach and
Ward and specialty swimmers Huxold and
Fuller played the key role. The Trojans
touched out the opponent in seven of 11
races and finished not lower than third in
the remaining four, ending the season with
a wave of five consecutive victories.
At the MAC Championships, the
Trojans swept the five wins to a complete
success, capping off the comeback with a
Conference title. However, rough waters
stirred by the returning champions Park
alternated the answering of Trojan firsts
with seconds throughout the meet.
In a furious battle, the 200 medley
relay of Fuller, Huxold, Ward, and Gerlach
surged to a gold, upsetting Park 1:48.08 to
1:48.79, setting the tone in the first event.
The Trojans never Jet go of the lead,
capturing four golds, five silvers and two
bronze to Park's four firsts and five seconds.
Meet, pool, and Conference records were
tallied as Ward controlled the 50 and 100
freestyles with times of 21.89 and 47.9,
while Lees topped the Tremper diving
charts with a personal best 399. 785.
Following the second place finish by Fuller,
Gerlach, Edwards and Knickrehm in the
400 free relay, the Trojans emerged as
MAC champs, splashing the defending
Panthers 350-34 7.
"We sat down and talked. The guys
all agreed the Conference title was, of
course, very satisfying," said Coach
Burmeister. "But State qualifiers would
mean more, so we sacrificed points and the

Sectional championship to follow through
with the new goal. In order to put the
strongest 400 free relay together, Huxold
and Fuller were removed from the
breastroke and backstroke."
The first Trojan berth was tallied by
Ward in the 50 freestyle, as he won with
a 22.0 and later in the 100 free posting,
a 48.2. Lees then scored 436.5 diving
points, and Edwards swam to a 5: 11.8 in
placing first in the 500 free. The 400 free
relay of Ward, Huxold, Knickrehm and
Gerlach placed second to Park, but was
quick enough to beat out eight other
Sectional teams with a team record
3:22.57. Tremper placed third at Sectionals.
With six qualifiers, the team traveled
to Madison for the WIAA State Championships. Overwhelming competition tensed the
400 free relay, forcing them to accept a
dissatisfying tenth place time of 3:23. 7 and
Lees a disheartening fifteenth in his second
trip to State.
"I was ranked fifth, I should've gotten
at least that," said Diving Captain Lees.
"But I just couldn't coordinate the twists
and cut the entries."
Ward also suffered a bad swim in the
50 freestyle with a time of 22.0 and a third
place finish . However, Ward's State
championship in the 100 free clocked a new
team record 47.58 and climaxed the Trojan
title wave.
"My 50 was way too slow, slower than
when I was a sophomore," said Captain
Ward. "I had too many mistakes that cost
me plenty of races. There was no way I was
going to let my final high school swim slip
by me, so I went for the 100."

MAC Crushing "0"

Trojans Separated from State Champs by 2 Point Loss

To grab MAC offensive ratings, the
boys basketball team swished an average
69.1 points per game, with all five starters
scoring in double figures. The 13-7 team
captured high spirited fans by sweeping the
first three games including a thrilling 72-71
overtime victory over Bradford.
In the first half, the Trojans dominated
the Devils 42-29 with the help of forward
Craig Schneider's 16 points. During the
third quarter, the Bradford players
recovered, and red hot shooting by the Red
Devil's Walter Glass made it clear that the
game would go down to the final seconds.
With Tremper up 68-66 and 30 seconds
left, Bradford hit a baseline jumper to send
the teams into overtime.
Defense ruled the remainder of the
game, but a smooth 18 foot jump shot by
Joe Carnevale and clutch free throws by
Mike Savaglio and Tom Sobol rallied the
team to come out on top. "The Bradford
game set the pace for the entire season. It
gave us confidence knowing we could score
points under pressure," said Schneider, who
led the scoring with 20 points.
Set in early preseason, the team goal
to lead the conference in free throw
percentage was accomplished as they
netted a steady 67% from the line. In
games against Custer and Vincent, the
Trojans connected on 42 throws of an
attempted 48.
The Trojans' hot hand at the charity
stripe cooled, as they were defeated 82-76

by a tough Madison squad despite 29 points
by Carnevale. "We outplayed them in every
phase of the game, but we missed 14 of
28 free throws," stated Coach Saint
Jiminez.
Defense was the main flaw. Being the
only man-to-man defense in the MAC, it was
rated only 10 of the 13 teams. When the
defense stumbled, the offense's first shot
accuracy poured in the points. Point guard
Dave Becker dumped in a season high 35
points in the 78-67 rout of Milwaukee
Custer.
On February 12, the Trojans clashed
with Milwaukee Bay View for the first game
of the conference playoffs. In a tough,
physical game which resulted in 87 total
free throws, the Trojans valliant bid for a
victory was denied in a heart-breaking,
double overtime loss.
Just three nights later, the Trojans
were again stymied in overtime, this time
by the Milwaukee Tech Trojans, 1983 State
Champions. Tremper controlled the ball
with 29 seconds left, and the score tied at
48. Becker's lob pass was picked off by
Tech and layed in at the buzzer. Becker
reflected on the game. "We played a great
game, but they were too much. They
capitalized on every mistake we made."
For the team's only victory of the
conference playoffs, fierce man-to-man
defense and commanding rebounding
overcame a severe height disadvantage as
the Trojans slid by Milwaukee Hamilton

65-68 to finish fourth in the conference.
On March 4, the opening game of the
regional playoffs, the Trojans picked apart
Racine Park zones and cruised to a 80-67
victory. The following night the Trojans .
battled deadly shooting and the height of
Racine Horlick. Becker and Carnevale
consistently connected on long range
jumpers, but the Rebels' clutch play edged
the Trojans 77-72. "At Regionals, we gave
the teams a run for their money," Coach
Jiminez added. "We played well, but their
quickness and height hurt us in the end."

1. All.Star Joe Carnevale (32) sinks two against
Hamilton, tallying 31 points In a 70-57 win.
2. Hustling down the court, the Trojan pack leads
Bradford 30-15 In the first quarter.

Break Away
Athletes Surge Ahead of the Field in Unsung Achievements
The super-jock struts his accomplishments down the middle of the hall to the
rhythmic clink of his medals and bathes in
the envy of his peers. Many others have
retaliated against the letterman with
baseball jackets cut to emphasize an athletic
body. Their insignias, "The Body Shop" or
"Ralph Nudi Boxing Club," are worn in
order to generate an admiring response .
However, some students are alienated from
popular athletics and are too modest to
wear their awards around in public; they
too, are successful sportsmen who are
summoned by the sun's intensity.
For many, Tuesday evenings during
the summer months are spent at the
Washington Bowl for a free source of
exciting action as Kenosha Wheelmen and
Velo Sport members take on competitors
from the Madison and Milwaukee area .
Tremper students who take on the
challenge of the track include senior John
Brunner, and juniors Jack Bournheuter,
Sam Roach and Jeff Spence. About ten
hours a week of dedicated training are set
aside year round in preparation for the
seven month racing season. "Most of the
training consists of road work and motor
pacing, riding behind a motorcycle, usually
somewhere between 40 and 50 miles per
workout," commented Brunner, an active
cyclist since age 14. Brunner's cycling
experience has evolved in both track racing
at the Bowl and in road races at Parkside

and New London, as well as in Illinois and
Iowa.
Like many other unnoticed athletes,
John has made considerable accomplishments in his expertise. In 1981 he finished
second at state in the Criterium catagory,
third in state in Track and a fourth place
finish in Road which qualified him for a
berth at Nationals in Arizona.
In contrast to a school funded sport,
a biker has to swing his own expenses.
Brunner's road bike alone is valued at about
$850 and his track bike another $600. " In
addition to the bikes themselves, some
components have to be replaced regularly,
and that can add up over the course of a
year . Traveling from meet to meet is also
a strain on the pocketbook," Brunner
explained.
What better way to spend a blazing hot
afternoon than out on southeast Wisconsin
rivers and lakes? Area lakes have always
been satisfactory fishing holes for Joe
Stancato, who spends between two and
three days a week out on Silver Lake, Twin
Lakes, Camp Lake, Paddock Lake and
Lake Michigan. Joe's prize catch is a 26 lb.
Chinook from Kenosha's harbor last year.
"The fish was really exciting to catch, but
once I landed it, being late in the season,
I didn't know what to do with it. I decided
to bury it in my mom's garden after taking
it's picture." Fishing on Wisconsin's inland
lakes for largemouth bass, Stancato stakes

his reputation as an angler. His favorite
equipment consists of a $35 Diawa Spinning
reel and a Shakespeare 100% graphite rod
with Triline XL fishing line to make his set
up complete. Fishing from both shore and
boat, Stancato reaps his rewards.
For Dave Bloxdorf, John Oberpiller,
Marla Doxtater and Mike Peltier, skimming
across a glass clear lake at break-neck
speed and throwing up a wall of spray as
they cut back over the boat's wake is the
ultimate summer vacation. Water skiing, for
anyone who has ever tried it , is as exciting
and fascinating as family fun comes. " Skiing
is expensive to get started in because of all
the necessary equipment needed, but after
you get established, all that's required is
gas, " instructed Bloxdorf. His equipment
consists of a Crownline 16ft. fiberglass boat
with a 100 h.p. engine, a Revline 18ft.
fiberglass boat with 120 h.p . engine and
four different kinds of skis valued collectively at about $480. At Silver Lake and
on the Fox River, Bloxdorf skies about four
times a week. "I've been skiing since I was
eight years old. As of yet, I haven't
competed in any tournaments, but I'm
planning on entering some this summer."
Although these athletes may never get
the recognition they deserve, the personal
satisfaction they receive through their
efforts is the bounty.

Quick Start
Height and Scoring Balance Topple Marshall
Fast breaking to an early 3-1 record,
the Girls Basketball team swished three
overtime points to steal the win from St.
Mary's Burlington, division B state qualifier.
In a game plan that typified the even
scoring and rebounding team, the Trojans
tight "D" stole the ball five times. Coach
Mike Plemon's evaluation targeted just this
team strength. "This ball team was
extremely tough and had a great deal of
potential, but all the credit goes to Coach
Dennis Penza. He built the program," he
said. Inspired in a season dedicated to the
deceased coach, the Trojans gave it all
where it counted, in the big games.
Early in the St. Mary's game, the girls
lost their emotional drive due to high
scoring. As the end of the third quarter
rolled around, the team had slumped to a
15 point deficit. Following the short break
between quarters, the team rejuvenated,
due to the leadership of Coach Plemon.
With a minute left to play, the Trojans tied
it up. In the three minute overtime, point
guard Michelle Harmon's jump shot sealed
the 53-50 win, assisted by Cheryl Hank's
freethrow.
Following a loss to Racine Case, 49-53,
the team broke away again on a six game
winning streak beating Milwaukee South,
Bradford, Pulaski, Marshall, Bay View and
Milwaukee Madison. About the four
returning letter winners, Carol Strouf
explained, "We were really together early
in the season because we understood each
other's playing styles and were taught a
great deal of discipline last year by Coach
Penza."

Wing guard Jackie Valeri dropped in
the season's sweetest victory on a jump shot
against Milwaukee Marshall. Ranked eighth
in the state, Marshall floored a team equal
in height to Julie Strouf, Lynne Euting and
Carol Strouf. With only nine seconds left in
the fourth quarter, Valeri's jump shot
delivered Marshall's only regular season
loss.
In another big game against Milwaukee
Hamilton, the Trojans were run over by the
Wildcat's fast break. Down by 12 at the end
of the first quarter, the girls scrambled on
rebounds to pull within two at the half. With
forward Julie Strouf hammering the boards,
the team's man to man defense was still
outplayed 57-50 by quickness.
"The Hamilton team shot an amazing
62 % from the floor and 89% from the line;
that's better than most pro teams. It was
a shame we had to lose because we played
a fantastic game," commented Coach
Pl em on.
In the season's most important
match-up, the Regional final, the Trojans'
spirit was snuffed by Bradford in the 44-60
loss. Twice earlier the quintet had beaten
the cross town rival. "The double overtime
of our second win made us too tight for this
game. We psyched ourselves out thinking
we couldn't win three in a row," commented
guard Valeri. Down by four at the open of
the fourth quarter, the team repeatedly
fouled in an obvious effort to regain
possession of the ball. Bradford, however,
consistently sank free throws to stretch out
their lead. Tense players hit a disappointing
20 for 59 from the floor and 4 for 13 from
the line.
Even the Regional loss failed to daunt
the big game luster of the team. Their
offensive pattern of setting up and working
the ball into the high percentage shot
ranked t~e squad second in conference
offense. The points were pumped in from
all angles as guards Harmon and Valeri
balanced forwards and centers, the Strouf
duo and Euting, with over 115 total points
each. In the big games, inspiration
rebounded the team repeatedly. Black
shoulder bands on jerseys symbolized that
dedication. "Mr. Penza taught me about the
fundamentals of basketball. He had
confidence in us; he knew we would
succeed," center Eu ting concluded.

"At Regionals, we just couldn't seem
to find the hoop. We shot 33% from
the floor and 30% from the line."

"We're so young," commented Coach

off Racine Park's Tony Wheeler 7-5 to
capture his title. Runner-up Mike Delabio
and third place finishes by Ivan Ireland,
Perri Nudi, and Troy Bowe all added in the
Trojan's third place tally. Looking ahead,
Hansen commented, "It would be a major
upset if anyone but Bradford won
Sectionals. Second place, though, should be
wide open."
In the Sectional tournament, the
Trojans earned 70.5 team points, well off
Bradford's 101 points, to secure second.
Coach Greg Feivor lamented, "Bradford has
got a good team, better than we are now.
I think we did all we could with what we
had. The key matches at 98, 119, and 132
lost it for us."
Racking up back points with his cradle,
Delabio (119) turned his Sectional opponents and hustled to second place.
Co-captains Hansen (126) and Tuska (198)
outslicked their opponents with single leg
takedowns and unrelentless aggressiveness.
Delabio added, "I had my sights set on state
all year. I hoped to do very well."
At the State meet, Delabio was
disposed of at 2:58 of the second period by
Steve Rohrer of Waupun. In the first round
Hansen easily defeated Tino Rodriguez of
New Berlin West, posting a major decision
14-4. Turning LaCrosse Central's Harry
Hoch 6-2, Hansen landed in the semi-finals
against Burlington's Tom Fitzpatrick. With
his tenacious deep waist ride, Fitzpatrick
stymied Hansen 6-1. "I felt I could beat him,
but I got frustrated. I couldn't move. He
rode me most of the match," Hansen said.
Wrapping up his first round match,
Tuska downed Green Bay Preble's Paul
Hendricks 7-1. Tuska tangled with Tim
Marco of LaCross Central, overpowering
him 5-2 with his spiral ride. However,
Tuska, too, fell in the semis to FonduLac's
lanky Pat Schommer 6-3.
Semi-final losses dealt consolation
matches to both Hansen and Tuska. Hansen
brushed by Racine Case's Ricardo Jenkins
5-4, capturing third in the State tournament,
while Tuska was soundly defeated by
Woodie Lisner of Lakeland 7-1 to finish
fourth. Coach Bowe commented, "I felt
Duane and Aaron rose to the occasion.
Sending three guys and placing two in the
top four reflects the strength of our
program."

Final Kick
Clutch Finishes Stride to Regional Second
Due to the shortage of athletes, the
boys track team was forced to sacrifice
team results in pursuit of individual goals.
"The guys wanted to finish in the top
quarter of the conference, but the main goal
was to send contenders to the state
championships," explained Coach Chuck
Bradley. Despite the distinct lack of depth,
the team sprinted to a fifth place in the
Milwaukee Area Conference.
On May 8, the team opened the indoor
season with a poor showing against
Bradford on the smaller indoor track. The
tight curves slowed down the inexperienced
Trojans as they captured only three firsts
and collapsed to a 80-38 defeat. The team
was hampered by the loss of top distance
runner Jeff Dreher who missed four meets
with an Achilles tendon pull.
In the Bradford Red Devil Relays, the
team spirit surged and scored the Trojans
a solid fifth in the field of twelve teams. The
sprint relay team of Mike Heydon, Scott
Quilling, Terry Kentcy and Jon Fox tallied
valuable points by grabbing two second
places as Fox strategically gained stride and
cut off a Bradford runner at the finish line.
"We finished strong in the Red Devil Relays
because we were conditioned both mentally
and physically," stated hurdler Dan
Allemand.
With the team notching 32 points to
finish in the middle of a nine team field, the

Trojans dashed to the outdoor season on
April 22. A first and third place in the
shot-put and discus by Steve Rasmussen
compensated for disqualifications in the mile
run and the mile relay.
At the Kenosha County Outdoor
Championship, the Trojans edged Bradford
187-160 and topped the six team field. The
Trojans wrapped up only four firsts IAftlile
scoring 18 second and third places. Of note
was the first, second, and third in the 1600
meter race by Dreher, Kevin Smith, and
Brent Mueller. "We had beaten Bradford
before in the Kenosha Invitational but they
weren't at full strength. Winning the County
Outdoor was great because it was our best
against their best and we won," stated Jim
Gentile of the first place 800 meter relay.
With Coach Bradley's view that "all
the other meets don't mean much when it
comes down to the Conference meet,"
practice time was devoted to perfecting
baton handoffs, block starts and other form
techniques to prepare for the thirteen team
meet. The Trojans sealed a fifth place
conference finish as Rassmussen clinched
first places in the shot-put and discus.
Rasmussen heaved the shot 49'3.5" and the
discus 134'1". With a time of 9:54, Jeff
Dreher broke the tape in the two mile race
and added to the 48 total team points.
Dreher's quick stride held out as he
drew a first in the two mile and a second
in the mile to surge the team to a second
place at the eight team Regional meet.
Quarter miler Wally Madsen's season long
consistency converted into excellence as he
timed a 51.5 for another first.
On the strength of two second places
by Rasmussen and Dreher, the Trojans
traveled to the State meet. Despite lowering
the school record in the 1600 meters to
4:20, Dreher sank to a second place as he
was edged by defending State Champion
Paul Hernandez of Racine Case.
Tough competition destroyed the
tracksters bid for a top place in the State
meet. Dreher clocked a 4:24 in the 1600
meters to place 10 of the 16 runners.
Rasmussen landed two 14 places by hurling
the shot-put 50' and the discus 133'8".
"We finished much better than I
expected at the beginning of the season.
The boys worked hard and improved
greatly in each event," concluded Coach
Bradley.

"Coming off a slow start, we peaked
at the end and finished with a second
at Regionals."
Jeff Dreher

"We worked hard all season and
accomplished our goal of being
represented at State."

In and Out of Contention
From Injuries and Inexperience, Indoor Power Stumbles Outdoors
As the gun fired to start the 22 meter
dash, sprinter Roz Williams exploded out of
the blocks. Keeping her body bent low on
the first three steps, she maintained a slim
lead for the first 100 meters. In the last 15
meters, Williams was overcome by Bradford's Michelle Wassovich's burst of speed.
Watching the tape break inches in front of
her, Williams fell to a second place.
"Also ran" dogged the Girls Track
team throughout the season; only in the
case of a second State indoor ranking
enjoyed by Williams or other individual
achievers did "also ran" signal pride.
On March 14, the Trojans, without a
senior athlete, clashed with 14 other teams
and sealed seventh place, despite only one
800 meter first by Wendy Hunkeler.
Three days later, the team seized first
place in the Racine Case Indoor by edging
out Case and Zion-Benton. "We started out
strong, but people quit. Others were
sidelined with injuries," remarked Cocaptain Karen Ayers. A 32' 1" hurl ranked
Ayers first in the shot-put at the Milwaukee

Area Conference Indoor, boosting the
Trojans to a fifth place overall. Hunkeler
controlled the 800 meters by bolting
through the tape with a time of 2:26.8 while
Williams darted to first place in the 60 yard
dash with a time of 7 .1 seconds.
As the indoor season closed, a rash of
injuries included a stress fracture to number
two state ranked Kristen Dennis.
Although dwindled down to 19 active
members, the Trojans captured fifth place
out of the field of 13 teams in the MAC
Outdoor Relays. The triple jump relay team
of Hunkeler, Jane Steel and Laurie
Montemurro leaped to a first with a
combined jump of 96'. " We knew we were
short on members so we each pushed a little
harder to finish fifth," stated Hunk el er who
added a second in the 800 meters.
On May 19, the Trojans clashed with
the other 12 conference teams for final
standings. Hunkeler's dominance of 11 firsts
in the 800 meters continued as she beat a
Bay View opponent on the final leg to thrust
the team into an eighth place finish . Another

sixth in the triple jump claimed Hunkeler
11 of the team's 23 total points.
At the Regional meet, the Trojans
struggled into a tie with Racine Park for
seventh in the field of eight teams. In 2:25
Hunkeler advanced to Sectionals by winning
the eight hundred meters, and Williams
added a third place qualification in the 200
meter dash. Hunkeler was denied a
Sectional "double bubble" in the triple jump
as South Milwaukee's Tracy Horvath
outleaped her by one-half inch.
With a Sectional time of 2:24.8 ,
Hunkeler broke the school record in the 800
meters for the fifth time. Her first place
finish titled her the team's lone qualifier for
the State Championship. Hunkeler failed to
make the final eight as she dropped to an
eighth place in her heat.
"I was very happy with our performances this year. The girls applied their
individual talents to make up for the lack
of consistency," concluded Coach Hawley.

Volley to Love
Racquets Ace Conference to Tally 21-0 Three Year Record
"At the beginning of the spring sports
season, many coaches thought Trojan tennis
would finish third in the MAC behind Bay
View and Park. However, we did some
talking with our racquets and sliced our way
through a dominating season, winning the
dual meet, division and conference championships," said Jeff Stanich. The lads with
the golden strings walked through their
regular season play losing only two in
twenty-two games, to Bay View and Park.
The team's success was no accident,
according to number one singles and
doubles player Bob Baker. "Throughout the
off season we practiced at the indoor courts
from 7:30 to 9:00 A.M. every Sunday, and
during the season, we put in nearly twenty
hours a week."
The first meet against Bay View was
the incentive for the team to come out
swinging. "Since we were expected to lose,
we really fired up for the competition. We
wanted to let the conference know we were
going all the way," commented number one
doubles Rob Knickrehm. The team beat Bay
View easily 5-1. Mike Oblen put on a
display of intelligent play beating John Hate
6-4 in the third set. "That final set could
have gone either way," reflected Oblen,
"but my teammates really stuck by me with

cheers on points."
The competition declined after Bay
View, and the team literally loved their way
through their next six opponents, losing only
1 out of 36 games. The boys 6-0 victory
over Hamilton clinched the Blue Division
title for the third year in a row.
Following the Hamilton meet, the team
once again demonstrated relentess battering, aceing James Madison 6-0 and
obtaining the dual meet title for the third
straight year in a row. With this win the
team tallied a total conference meet record
of 21-0 since first entering the conference
three years ago.
In typical playing style, the guys
entered the conference championship
seeded first and swept the title with a total
of 42 points, taking these first in singles and
three seconds in doubles. Conference
champions were one, two and three single
players Baker, Oblen and Ray Martinez.
At the Sub-Sectional meet, the number
one team of Baker and Oblen was the only
team to advance to the Sectional, beating
Union Grove in the first round 6-0, 6-1, and
Case in the second round 6-1, 6-1.
At the sectional, Baker and Oblen once
again pulled through winning in the first
round 6-1, 6-3 against Greendale, qualifying

them for the State meet, despite Oblen's
touch of flu. The doubles team quickly
polished off their opponents with aggressive
serve and volley tactics, rushing the net at
every opportunity. In their semi-final match,
however, Baker and Oblen lost a heart
breaking round to Oak Creek 2-6, 7-6, 6-3.
A typical of their original style of play, the
lob controlled the pace of the game. "In the
last two sets I really started hurting, my
body just wouldn't perform up to par,"
commented Oblen. Immediately following
the match, Oblen suffered severe cramps in
his stomach and thighs forcing them to
default their match against Horlick.
After having a week to recuperate
before the State Meet, Oblen and Baker
worked together to cover the court
effectively beating their Eau Claire
opponents 6-1, 3-6, 6-3. In the second round
the duo was out played by Wauwatosa West
6-2, 6-4. "Had we gotten a better draw, I
feel we could have been in the top 16,"
commented Baker.
Reviewing the season, Coach Holman
explained, "The team finished the season
on a high note of holding the school's fine
tennis tradition. This season was definitely
one of my most gratifying teaching
experiences.

More Than Tee to Green
Golfers' Inconsistency Lays Up Short At Regional, MAC Tournament
Sopped greens and brisk winds
hampered the preseason practices for the
inexperienced golf team. Presented with
seven new varsity players, the squad who
lacked even J.V. experience chipped away
at rusty fundamentals to score solid success
only at the Beloit Invitational. Individuals
like Kyle Corrigal and Tim Sobol salvaged
an otherwise inconsistency ridden team.
In spite of the team's winning record
8-4-1, the golfers could not shave the
strokes off the top four of five varsity scores
to under Coach Paul Fennema's team goal
of 165 strokes. "The lack of strong teams
within our conference definitely hurt us;
when we did play against one of the better
teams, our intensity was not there," stated
number two man Sobol.
Following the early season Horlick loss
in which the golfers shanked thirty nine
double bogies or worse, the team regained
some consistency and shot well enough to
rack up four straight victories against
weaker MAC foes. During these meets, the
Trojans were led by the hot shooting of

number one player Kyle Corrigal, the
medalist in all four meets.
The golfers were apprehensive, yet
prepared for the seventeen team Beloit
Invitational held at Krueger Municipal Golf
Course. "This was our best outing of the
year," commented Coach Fennema on the
team's tenth place finish in the tough field.
Sobol lead the team with an 80, Corrigal
finished at 81, Gary Strom 83. Corrigal
lamented, "We shot well against some of
the state's best teams; it felt good."
In the Regional tournament at Bristol
Oaks, the linksters led Central by four
strokes and Wilmot by six after the front
nine, but could not stabilize that consistency
over the back nine. They lost eleven strokes
on nine holes to first place Wilmot and
finished third. Only the top three medalists
and the first place team earned berths to
the Sectional meet. "It was a mental
collapse; we just fell apart under the
pressure," stated number four player
Strom. The Trojans finished five shots
behind Wilmot at 346. Sobol, at number two

player, topped the leader board with an 80.
Sobol's short iron discipline and competitive
stamina paced him to rounds of 38 and 42.
Coach Fennema commented, "Tim's short
game left him close to fire birdie putts on
the ninth and fifteenth greens."
Wind blown Racine Johnson's Park was
the site of Sectionals on a warm June 2.
To qualify for the state meet at Bull's Eye
C.C., Sobol needed to beat the third place
score of 79. His drives and putts fell short;
he finished seventh at 87.
Recovering somewhat, the team
culminated the season and finished third in
the MAC tourney at Oconomowoc's
Paganica Golf Course. Hamilton won with
332 strokes to Park's 333 and the Trojans'
337. Individually Corrigal finished second
shooting a five over par, 77; Sobol shot 83,
ranking seventh. Corrigal's straight and
steady game followed through and earned
him All-Conference honors on a five
member team. "This meet typified our
season," added Coach Fennema, "we just
could not put it all together."

BOOM
RBl's Rap Out State Semi-final
With preseason training drenched by
soggy fields, the Softball team stepped out
off the wood-floored gym and onto the dirt
diamonds of the Milwaukee Area Conference with a craving for a title. Led by power
hitters Judy Sosbe, Ann Altoff, Cheryl
Hanks and Jackie Valeri who sported
averages of .658, .588, .557 and .558, the
team slugged away 12 opposing teams,
earning an 11 run average per game,
including a 31-1 romp over Milwaukee
South. The tight infield of Hanks at shortstop, Sosbe at third base, Raelene
Williamson at second and Altoff at first shut
down to three hits a contest.
In the season opener, the bats got hot,
setting a precedent for the Trojans'
explosive style. The squad banged out a
three run seventh inning and took the field
to hold Hamilton 8-7.
The true test of strength occurred with
defending MAC Champions Bay View. In
the first through fourth innings, Bay View
and Tremper exchanged hits and stolen
bases. However, in the fifth inning, the
dominating force of a Hanks' grand slam
split the difference by four. Additional home
runs by Valeri and Altoff capped off the 7-2
victory. Despite the offense's showing, the
defense played the key role, stopping Bay
View at second and third base 13 times out
of 17.
With confidence gained from the
victory, the Trojans blew away Milwaukee
Madison 19-3, but faced defeat in the
Marshall game. Coach Candy Stein
indicated that four players were on the field
with the stomach flu. The defense allowed
three stolen bases, one triple, a home run,
not to mention numerous singles, in losing
the tight 2-3 game.
The team came back as the bats
boomed for five victories. Only stunned by
the 8-4 Bradford loss, the Trojan bombers
crushed the final opponents with over half
the team batting better than .500. Pitcher
Tracy Thomas' 55-60 mph fast ball and
change-up cooled opposing batters with a
2.02 ERA.

The "big inning" paid off once more
for the Trojan bombers in Regional playoffs
against Bradford. In a tension packed first
inning, Thomas hurled two wild pitches,
while the defense collapsed with a five error
gift to the Red Devils. In a fifth inning
onslaught, Sosbe and Williamson sparked
the team with doubles, while Altoff and
Hanks added singles. Capitalizing on walks,
the ball club scored a six run rally. The
defense froze the Red Devil batters to no
runs after the first inning in the 9-4 win.
In the Regional finals against a 12-0
Central ball club, the bats blasted hits to
overpower the Falcons 12-2, advancing the
Trojans to the Sectional semi-finals. At
Burlington's Humble Park, the bats were
cooled to seven hits. The Demons punched
out nine hits, just enough to squeeze in 3-2.
However, the game was forfeited due to a
WIAA 11 inning pitching rule violation.
Burlington's pitcher, Kelly Moran, threw 12
full innings. As a result, the Trojans slid into
finals.
Against Horlick, singles by Sosbe,
Hanks and Danella led to a four run first
inning. Clinching the 8-7 Sectional victory
over the Rebels, Soltis doubled and Hanks
tripled with two walked batters on base in
the third inning sealing the State berth in
Waukesha.
In a slugfest, the squad advanced to
the semi-finals by dominating Greenfield,
9-3. Later plagued by walks, errors, wild
pitches and passed balls, the team spotted
Homestead with 11 unearned runs. Sparked
by a Hank's triple, three walks and two
errors, the squad rallied in the seventh
inning, but was halted when Althoff popped
to short for the final out. With two runners
stranded the Trojans fell 11-10.
As the team closed the season as one
of the top four clubs in the State, Coach
Stein commented, "We gave too many
freebies. Also, some of these teams play
Saturday tournies. But, I can't fault the
girls; we showed we belonged at State in
the first game."

"Our bats really pulled us through.
The big rallies were always the game
clincher for the team."
Sue Solits

"Our infield was very strong. We
could pick up the grounders and cut
a lot of runners off."

The Trojans' early exit from the WIAA
baseball tournament reflected the lack of
competition in the MAC conference and the
9-5 season record. "Either the competition
is really good or it is really bad. The bad
teams do not help us against the good
ones," commented Coach Lee Hlavka.
Through the tenth game, Tremper
walked over opponents. Because of the ten
run rule or the two hour time limit, the
games were called in the fifth inning. With
Tremper scores in the teens and twenties,
what Hlavka termed "a false sense of
security" settled into the team and stole
even the possibility of a regional berth.
In the first season confrontation, the
power-hitting Trojans emerged, beating
Milwaukee West twelve to one. Playing
against North, the team rapped out two
runs in the first inning, nine in the second
and six in the third. The game was called
in the fifth with a twenty-one to zero
onslaught. The Trojans stroked 19 hits to
North's one. Tremper struggled through six
errors to lose against Milwaukee Vincent, by
three runs. Fast ball pitcher Chris Kaeppler
gave up only two hits and struck out eleven
in spite of the holes in the infield.
The next six victims were mowed
down . Tremper slugged 68 runs in these
games while opponents struggled for eleven.
In one of three shutouts, the team
bombarded Riverside with 15 runs in the
bottom of the fourth.
Tremper's second defeat came in a
disputed contest against Milwaukee Pulaski.
Coach Hlavka protested Pulaski's winning
run in the seventh. Hlavka argued that six
or seven Pulaski players were huddled
around home base. This prohibited catcher
Jeff Klotz from throwing to Kaeppeler for
the tag on Tom Burke. Trojan fielding errors
on routine plays and stranding seven base
runners in scoring positions were even more
responsible for the 4-3 loss.
Right fielder, Tim Ausse explained,
"We're a team of experience. In spite of
that, we just can't make the big plays; and
we are making too many errors. For
instance in the Pulaski game, Jim Harding
had the bunt sign, and I was leading off first
base. He missed. Before I could scramble
back to base, the catcher and first baseman
picked me off." This, the first of a four
game losing streak, spurred the nose dive.
Against Tech, a few moments of
defensive breakdowns in the top of the
seventh inning did Tremper in. The Trojans

were trailing by two going into the seventh;
then two dropped flies, two overthrows and
one passed ball opened Tech's lead to 5-1.
After the Bay View blow out 14-0, the
Trojans faced Park for the last regular
season game. Park pounded 12 hits to
Tremper's four to overcome the slumping
Trojans in a 7-2 victory. In the MAC
playoffs, the Trojans redeemed themselves
by beating Vincent on a no-hitter by pitcher
Bill Broesch and then lost to Milwaukee
Tech in the semi-finals 7-2.
In Regionals, Park's power hitting
stunned the team. The Panther slug fest
tallied a two-run homer and a misplayed line
drive that scored three runs. The ·Trojans
tried to respond by loading the bases twice,
but Park's Jeff Potter repeatedly cooled
Tremper bats. Pitcher Kaeppeler just did
not have the snap on his fastball as Park
bats smoked in the 9-2 loss.
Tremper's season halted. prematurely
when quality ball had to be played to
advance. The pressure of games when
every ground ball counts simply was not
experienced from the easy five inning routs
of weak opponents. Mike Wade concluded,
"The schedule played against us. We faced
all the easy teams early in the season and
were unprepared when the tough teams
came along."

As an alternative to "hanging around"
in the commons or spending hard earned
money at McDonalds, many students
dropped their books and headed for the
gym. Here the students found a wide
assortment of sports in which they could
obtain a bit of relaxation in the midst of the
hum-drum life of school.
The intramural program is a system
designed to give students the thrill of
competiton without bogging them down with
long hours of practice. Sports ranged from
volleyball, basketball, swimming, weight
training, badminton and table tennis to
paddleball. Regardless of what sport an
individual pursued, he most likely ran into
some stiff competition. "The attitudes of the
players were extremely positive. We let the
students organize their own games, and little
supervision was needed," commented Mr.
Wes Holman. Mr. Ernie Virgili and Ms.
Peggy Wadell also contributed while Mrs.
Carol Houtz headed the program.
Basketball, one of the most popular
sports, attracted serious athletes trying to
stay in shape during the off season as well
as the majority who came strictly for the
enjoyment. Under every available basket,
tired bodies lunged after a loose ball or
fought for rebounds during a quick game of
hustle. "I enjoy playing basketball at lunch
because it helps me improve my game,"
stated junior, Carvin Conley.
While basketballs were being tossed

through the hoops, the crashing sound of a
volleyball being spiked echoed in the gym.
In another area, ping pong balls glided
smoothly over the nets as each student
sought his own outlet.
The weight training program, another
well attended activity, brought in 25 to 30
lifters each night. Loud grunts and groans
could be heard from the weight room as the
athletes struggled to complete their sets. " I
lift mainly to get in shape for football , but
it is also a nice feeling knowing you are
improving because of hard work and
dedication," remarked junior Ed Makar.
Each semester the program was
highlighted by three organized tournaments
in which individuals could c,ompete for the
badminton, paddleball, and basketball
championships. "The tournaments took
place at the same time the physical
education classes were learning those
sports. That way students could apply what
they had been practicing while playing
against different class members," explained
Mr. Holman.
An average of over 40 students
participated in each of the four half hour
shifts. Mr. Holman summed up the
program, "The intramural program was
very successful. Some students · took
advantage of it since they didn't have a gym
class, while for others it was an alternative
to spending time in the smoking area."

Dedicated Year
Coach Dennis Penza, ''a Man of Sincerity, Spirit, and Pride.
On the night of August 4, 1982, Dennis
Penza's life ended prematurely as the result
of a heart attack he suffered around 8 p.m.
Just two hours before, Penza had smacked
two home runs and a grand slam, lifting L
& M Auto Parts to a 9-3 win in a 14 inch
softball contest.
A member of Tremper's faculty for six
years, Penza taught Modern World history
and American Problems. With his warm
congeniality, Penza built a strong, working
relationship with his colleagues and
students. "He cared greatly for the people
he worked with," said Physical Education
Instructor, Mrs. Carol Houtz.
During leisure, Penza was a member
of a schafskapf (sheepshead) club, which
consisted of close knit teachers. Their
games were a chance to let off steam.
"We would jokingly cut-up on each
other while playing cards. Dennis used to
constantly complain about his poor hand
and the rest of us ribbed him," said Mr.
Terry Lawler, Composition for College
instructor. "It didn't seem to bother him, he
just continued to bicker. Well, as it turned
out, he would nullify our cut-downs with one
enormous cut-up," he concluded.
Penza made his athletic debut at St.
Norberts college, where he played football
as a receiver and defensive back, earning
MVP honors. According to Coach Ron
Davies, "He was known for his outstanding
self-discipline and drive for excellence."
After college, Penza played semi-pro
football in the Continental league as a
receiver for the Wheeling Ironmen of West
Virginia. Climaxing his athletic career, he
was invited to tryout for the Minnesota
Vikings and Chicago Bears, but failed to
make the teams because of his Jack of size.
Penza then turned towards coaching to
exercise his love for sports.
The techniques he used as a coach
centered around employing self-discipline
and motivation. "He pushed us towards the
team goals," said safety Joe Stancato. ""He
used to make us do up to 30 drills in a row
and then have us run laps for 20 minutes."
"The thing about Dennis Penza was he
could show the boys how to do something
whereas the rest of us didn't have Dennis'
ability," said Coach Ron Davies.

Penza shares a funny Incident with his sixth hour

With Penza's direction, the Trojans
were able to construct the powerful defense
which stopped its opponents to 42 points
all season, including four scoreless games,
and allowed no more than eight points per
contest. The immoveable wall greatly
assisted the Trojans in their charge to two
unprecedented State championships in
1980 and 1981.
As the coach of girls' basketball, Penza
lifted the girls from their initial record of 5-5
in 1976 to the heights of Regional
runner-ups in 1980.
"He was very demanding and strict,
but his strictness tied the team together,"
commented center Carol Strouf. "Once he
made us run drills for an hour after practice.
We had made some stupid mistakes and he

11

made sure that they would not be
repeated," she concluded.
Dennis Penza's spirit thrived in the
ambitions of his athletes and continued to
do so in the hearts of the 1982-83 girls
basketball team. The team dedicated their
season to him, wearing black mourning
bands on their jerseys.
"We really wanted to do well for him,"
said guard Jackie Valeri. "In spite of
injuries, we set the goal for winning
Sectionals, but fell short by finishing third.
We made an effort that Coach Penza would
have been proud of."

Piercing alarms startled high
school "beauties" who required a full
hour to transform into a blue jeaned
idol. Walking zombies rolled from
beneath crinkled sheets. K-town's
infamous morning blues prevailed on
a typical school day as Tremperites
plunged into the schedule.
After the "refreshing" shower,
Jockey briefs revived images of Jim
Palmer, followed by a bee line to the
kitchen. Flinging the frig door open,
food-seekers were greeted by a rush
of cold air and the ruby appeal of
Ocean Spray Cranapple. Stomach
growls called them to the bread box
for the last yummy, jelly-filled donut
from the Donut Hole.
When appetites were tamed and
preppies had turned up collars, the
oncoming 7 :30 bell beckoned students
to rush off to school. Armed with
Mom's brown bag lunch packed with
Delfield Delicatessen cold cuts and
fruit, students dashed out the door of
the family's Forest Park Aluminum
recently sided home. Under surveillance from Gino's green van, Dad's
Renault Alliance was carefully "fish
tailed" into Anderson's parking lot for
another day.
To top off a somewhat "perfect"
day of school, a night on K-town
"required" a stop at Jerry's Pizzeria
and a loop through Pot o' Gold.
Finding it somewhat difficult to paint
the town before 10:00 curfew,
invariably the cruiser ended up with
a Happening's magazine in one hand,
a Coke in the other and another
M*A*S*H re-run on the tube.

Sophs Inhale 'Grips'
Lunchtime to most students at
Tremper signifies a well deserved break
from the monotony of morning classes.
Although most are privileged with the
opportunity to leave school for awhile, 168
out of the 311 randomly picked students
spend the majority of their lunch hours at
school.
Regimented with the hot lunch
program since grade school, only 30% of
the sophomores converted to ala carte.
Having already experienced one year of
"fine cuisine" and rumoring that ala carte
is merely higher priced hot lunch leftovers,
38% of the thrifty juniors surveyed opted
for fresher food at a lower price. 77% of
the seniors who remain at school chose to
eat nothing. Whether it be hot lunch or ala
carte, pizza tops the list of "favorites."
52% of the sophomores scarfed down
their lunches in less than 15 minutes in
order to avoid being late for homeroom or
their next class, while juniors and seniors
"relaxed" to a more worry free lunch of
about a half-hour. After eating, 67% of the
students surveyed congregate in the
Commons to gossip and finish last-minute

250 Advertising

assignments or go to the smoking area to
"talk and toke. "
Instead of challenging the long
cafeteria lines, 61 % of the students
surveyed escape to either McDonald's or
Taco Bell. Juniors were found to spend
under $1 just to be seen at Mac's, while
seniors spent an average of $2 for their
"gourmet" meal.
"Lunch time is a fun time as long as
you're not at school," concluded senior Ann
Althoff.

Sub Rocks Videoland
Cranking up the jams of the Scorpions,
substitute teacher Mr. Frank Madsen
departs from the cluttered school scene.
"Rock music is my way of breaking up the
steady routine of everyday life," commented Mr. Madsen.
"Scorps," as he is known to Bunn-Game regulars who have noted his
Scorpion concert shirt, is 34 years old. A
typical day for "Scorps" is spent substituting at one of the Kenosha Unified District
schools. After a tough day at the grind, Mr.
Madsen retreats to his apartment and
transforms his professional type mannerism
as a teacher into a typical "rocker." He
hastily whips off his stuffy suit, throws on
a concert shirt and jeans and relaxes with
some of his favorite rock hits. "The lyrics
to all rock music have a certain meaning.
The right lyrics coupled with the right beat
produce a good sounding tune," stated
"Scorps."
Destined for one of the local arcades,
he jumps into his Hornet wagon. Before
settling into the action-packed pace of
foosball or Space Duel, "Scorps" raps with
The Store With More
Kenosha's Largest Jeweler

fans about the latest groups and upcoming
concerts. He explained, "Rock concerts are
designed with all people in mind because
you can go up to anybody at the concert
and start talking about the group playing."
Some of the concerts "Scorps" has laid out
the bucks to see are Judas Priest, Rush, Iron
Maiden, Black Sabbath, and his favorite, the
Scorpions.
"I like to listen to jazz and classical
music also because I can appreciate a good
song, but rock and roll will always be
burnin'," Mr. Madsen concluded.

Sneaker-style Treads
"What are those flashy treads you be
wearing at the end of your pant legs."
"They're my new sneakers."
"Oh, really, what kind?"
According to a recent survey of 311
students, Nike would be the probable
answer. This shoe, which tallied 54% of the
survey, served as a status symbol along with
other name brands such as Converse and
Pony. "Tennies" of this kind range anywhere from $20 to $80, depending upon
name and construction.
Canvas and nylon shoes were worn by
24% of the survey because of their "low
buck" value. Some preferred to "fork out"
the "megabucks" and step into the leather
scene. Long lasting leather provides more

durability for everyday wear and tear.
More than half of the surveyed students felt that shoes just would not be the
same if not white. Contrary to the majority,
sophomores opposed this by wearing colors
like blue, purple, black, yellow, and, yes,
even pink.
Only 16% of the surveyed found one
pair of shoes sufficient. The majority found
it "uncool" to wear the same pair of shoes
everyday. Seniors and sophomores combined for 33 % owning two pairs. The rich
juniors topped the charts with 31 % owning
more than three pairs.
"Sneakers" whether cheap or expensive, white or pink, are as important to "Joe
Average" as lzods are to "preppies."

Any mmute now the bell will rmg, and
a large crowd of students are going to be
on a rampage. They will come down the
halls, around the corner, pushing and
shoving just to cram their quarters in the
slots and get their grubby hands on my
receiver. Being a pay phone is not all the
glamour of big money and prestige.
Discourteous, impatient babblers bend,
clench, twirl, tug and bite at my cord.
Abuse! It's bad enough when Kathy hangs
up on Mike because he said, "Hi" to Jane
in the hall, and I end up with a ringing
headache.
I can't believe some of the things I
hear! A girl called her boss and told him
she was sick and could not come into work!
Well, right after that, she called Tom and
said he could pick her up for the football
game at school!' Talk a out "little" white
lies! Not to mention, Jack having his big
brother portray his father to call In sick
because he wants to party with the guys.
Excuses and conversations have become so
monotonous, I wish there were some way
I could disconnect myself!

concluding that besides all the clammy

breath, I am glad to be a phone instead of
a garbage can!

Adding to the dally abuse of the Commons phone,
juniors Jane Steel and Sue Pulera cleverly "beg" for
a ride home after school.

'Bods' Pin-up Lockers
"Eat your heart out Loni Anderson!"
The new trend for locker pin-ups is Jim
Palmer, Jockey's latest male model. No
matter which way one turns gorgeous
visages of every bombshell on Earth
confront the view. Posters of Tom Selleck
and GQ attract females who ogle "gorgeous
bods." However, cleavage and rippling
muscles are not the only things that can be
found on locker doors.
"Decorating my locker stirs up a
chuckle and relieves the hideous green of
the locker," Cindy Beardsley commented.
In total agreement with "I hate Monday,
diets, and getting up," Cindy emerges as
a devoted fan of the animated Garfield.
According to Cindi Stec and Cathy Tetzlaff,
the Smurfs are "Smurfarkable." Their
locker is full of tiny blue creatures, pin-up
posters and other Smurf pictures, ranging
from Papa Smurf to Smurfette.
Pete Schmidtmann and Matt Harmon
let their personalities shine through by
encompassing their entire locker with basketball pin-ups. Still others tack-up "lush,
plush" carpeting in an attempt to turn their
lockers into a home away from home.

"I never realized that my name was
last in the whole school until the eighth
grade. When I did, I felt that my name had
some kind of significance. I was one of a
kind," remarked senior Dan Zydzik.
The letter "Z" poses many advantages
and disadvantages, yet combined with the
let,ter "Y", it guarantees a last on the class
alphabet. Aside from completing the class
roll, the name means "little Jew" in Polish
even though Dan's not Jewish. Being one
of only forty-five Zydziks in the United
States, Dan's family reunites with relatives
once in a while in Tomah, Wisconsin. "It
was an experience because half of my
relatives don't speak English very well and
some can't · speak English at all," Dan
replied.
In class, Dan is always situated in the
far back corner, which sometimes poses a
problem for him. "When teachers scan the
class, their eyes automatically focus on the
back of the room, and I feel paranoid
because It seems like they're always
watching me," Dan commented.
Prank phone calls are a common
occurence at the Zydzik residence. "We get
weird calls sometimes because our last

name is second to last in the phone book,"
remarked Dan.
However, being last does have its
advantages. When it comes to giving reports
or speeches in school, Dan is satisfied with
being last.

Dials Tune in 'LOOP'
Radios, records and tapes surface
from among the cluttered possessions of the
average student. The average teenager set
aside at least three hours a day to "kick
back" and "jam" the latest tunes, according
to a survey taken of over 300 students.
Investments in sound equipment varied
from nothing to over $1000, with the
average amount being between $100 and
$500. While most people had the
"necessity," a portable AM radio, some
music fanatics possessed complete sound
systems, including stereos, headphones,
tape decks and "ghetto blasters." An
impressive 73% tuned in to FM radio. The
most popular stations broadcasted the
LOOP (WLUP) and WLPX, but local station
WJZQ did not fall too far back in the
running.
Hard rock and rock 'n roll influenced
the majority of "rockers." Rush, Scorpions
and Led Zepp/in led the field of more than
70 groups listed as favorites, with Van
Halen, Judas Priest, Journey and the
Rolling Stones following closely behind.
Some unusual groups such as Adam
and the Ants, the Talking Heads and Third

World made the lists due to their unique
styles of music.
As time changes, people change, and
as people change, types of music change
too. While the "latest" tunes flood the air
waves, shopping sprees, "The Who"
concert tickets and "Tickets to Rock" tally
top ratings for WJZQ, WQFM and the
LOOP (WLUP). Generating a multi-billion
dollar music industry, only the radio stations
seem to "rock on" eternally.

It's 2:31 p.m. on June 3, 1983, and
the seniors' security blanket has just been
lifted. Up until this time, they had been
spoon-fed and shielded from "the outside
world." The actions of these "leaders of
tomorrow" towards graduation reflected
their nonchalant attitude about the future.
The trademark of making "spur of the
moment" judgements may haunt the class
of '83 in their life after Tremper. Plans
ranged from the expected college to the
unexpected Paris street walker.
"After selling cheese and sausage all
day at the Brat stop, I'll be bartending at
night. I also plan to use the money from
working to get my motorcycle in racing
condition. During my free time, I'll keep in
shape by running. And later, school," said
Jeff Dreher.
"I'm going to move into my own
apartment down by the beach and throw
parties every night. Also, I'm going to

attorney at law

John Dewey, 1859-1952, was an
American philosopher and educator. He
abandoned belief in authoritarian
methods and the use of rote practices
in education, arguing for learning by
experience, motivated by a sense of the
student's needs.

How does a person go from a Kenosha
high-school to the head script writer for the
soap, General Hospital? "You run," replied
Thom Racina, a graduate of St. Joseph
High School. At Goodman Drama School in
Chicago, he received a Masters degree in
1971. While at Goodman's, he started
writing novels for pleasure. These novels'
financed a trip to Hollywood.
His first job in Hollywood was rewriting
a story for Jackie Smith, vice-president at
Warner Brothers. After completing the
story, Racina worked at various odd jobs
while concentrating on writing. Ten years
later, Smith, who was now working for
General Hospital, called and invited Racina
to breakfast. At this breakfast, he accepted
the position as head script writer.
"A major problem in my business,"
said Racina, "is that writers burn themselves out. In my 21h years, we have gone
through 18 writers."
The G.H. writing staff takes approximately one month to prepare for the
shooting of one week's episodes. Every
Thursday Racina and two "head" writers sit
down and discuss their ideas for upcoming
episodes. From this "bull" session, Racina

writes three of the five rough scripts over
the weekend period. Five scripts are
compared by the three main writers and
molded into one week episode.
"The fun of my job is playing 'God'.
I get to decide who lives and who dies, and
I control everything. We think of emotions
that people have and try to create them in
a character. People watch our show
because we bring out feelings they have
deep inside," Racina concluded.

During an interview by Cooper Castillo, Thom Racina
discloses the daily grind for General Hospital.

Slang Raps 'Convos'
What is more popular than Brewer
baseball, hotdogs, apple pie and Tro1an
park stickers? Why, slang, of course!
Truly a language in itself, slang not
only adds variety to conventional language,
but also conjures up slick self-images and
"awesome" humor in everyday "rap"
sessions.
"Mega" numbers of teens "get down"
to the idea of slang and have lumped
correct grammar in a catagory along with
cavemen and dinosaurs. Communication
with other teens is, in essence, "no
problem." Ghetto blasters that crank jams

almost nationalize slang terms through
"hip" DJ's.
As time, people and styles change, the
lingo follows suit. The old "scoppin' the
loop" is better known nowadays as "cruisin'
Mac's," and the once "out of sight" has
changed its tune to "TOTALLY awesome."
Both Jane-intellect and Joe-cool will
"go for it" with words from "where it's at,"
and slang will stay "Otay, Buchh-wheet!"

Spring Sun Fries Tan
To any sane person, the most
enjoyable summer "job" was getting a tan.
Tanning fans stopped at nothing to achieve
that golden glow of a browned body.
Escaping the winter "wearies," sun buffs
"bussed it," "jetted it," or even "thumbed
it" to Florida's bikini bombarded beaches in
order to flaunt a premature tan back in
K-town. Meanwhile, those with only pennies
in their pocketbooks were forced to settle
for a postcard and a can of imported Florida
sunshine.
At the first sight of sun, beach bums
jumped the gun and spent lunch hours
catching the rays on back porches and
decks. Setting themselves up with a towel,
a pillow, a Diet-Pepsi and some good
"jams," students "sweated" it out. Before
the shadow of the house had covered the
deck in shade, tanning gods and goddesses
raced home from school, often even
skipping the after-school Commons ritual.
Underestimating the power of the
Wisconsin sun, often resulted in a burned
body that matched a Prom date's red rose
corsage. Always trying to get the maximum
amount of rays with the minimum amount
of protection, fair-skinned unfortunates

insisting on just one more hour in the sun
usually burned to a "crisp."
Weekends offered approximately nine
hours a day to achieve "that savage tan."
Close friends gathered together for a gossip
session while at the same time acquiring a
little "color." Peeking under the edge of
bikinis, body buffs suckered themselves into
believing there was a tan line.
With the end of the school year in sight,
dedicated sun worshippers looked forward
to full-time "employment" under the sun.

Whtie washing his car, Harold Fallak cools off and
catches a few rays of sun.

the whip of a whirlwind."
"Conduct your blooming ID

G. Brooks
Never before has being hit right out of
the blue held such significance. The
whirlwind of "Back in Blue" has swept
through '83 in tornado proportion at times.
"Blooming" too has not occurred without its
full measure of adversity. If growth is
gauged by endurance, the staff, editors and
adviser have, 'indeed, peaked to full
blossom.
Following "A Cut Above" with its
All-American, no doubt, has heightened the
task before the "Back in Blue" editors, but
the exacting toll of their own and my
standards of excellence has pervaded our
efforts.
As noted by the faculty, the staff had
depth, if not stars. Section editors, in
particular, evidence that depth in quality.
Pat Fuller has endeared himself to me as
creative, organized and caring in Student
Life as well as gentle and considerate with
my children Amber and Kregg and with me.
He has trained two Editors·in-Chief and a
3ports editor for '84.
Mark Ricci's competence speaks for
itself along with the voiced respect and
loyalty of his staff. He has trained an
Editor-in-Chief and an Academics section
editor.
Patrice Ewald's efficiency has never
been equaled in the Groups section. That
quality has produced well written copy and
clean layout from the staff and relieved the
E-in-C and adviser of the burden.
Tracey Kennedy and Donna Broesch
have brought both organization to literally
thousands of photos and creativity to
features in Classes. Tracey, in particular,
dedicated lunch hours and evenings to that
pursuit of excellence.
Rachel Lepp and Bob Ward have
welded a stormy partnership in Sports
which has paid off in consistency and

excellent sports copy. By the year's close,
they had mastered the task of deadlines and
their personal commitments.
While her strong personality has at
times clashed with my own, Cheryl Baetz
has precedented features in the ad section,
redesigned the structure and originated
campaigns for book sales and patrons. Her
dedication and energies have truly been a
blessing to the Editors-in-Chief for whom she
has assumed many responsibilities. She is
fiercely loyal to all her commitments.
The Photography Editors, Jon Fox and
Becky Bain, have pioneered a 16 member
program. Their independence has freed me
for other staff work. Becky, especially, has
continuously given an "outstanding contribution" to photojournalism. Becky, Jon, your
integrity and capability flow throughout the
Classic pages.

Senior staffers Amy Torrez, Bill Chase,
Leah Paz, Paul Phillips and Carolyn Jones
have "comeback" to prove how valuable
knowledgeable returning members can be.
Never could I, as an adviser, write
about staff leadership without indentifying
Pam Callahan. This Assistant to the
Editors-in-Chief has given immeasurably of
her talent and time in order to complete
deadlines and correct layouts. Her personality and unfailing devotion flairs like her
strawberry blond. Pam, your willingness to
give where others fall short and your devil's
chocolate cake are the BEST.
The Editors-in-Chief have, as always,
personally stood for quality. For Brian
Heath, the way has been difficult, but his
heart has warmly embraced each task.

Actively directing others and working
efficiently are battles his quiet, painstaking
personality has encountered. His theme has
been valuable in centralizing the book, and
his steady perseverance has brought him to
the end.
In contrast, the fire of Deborah Wilk's
personality has enraged and yet inspired
every Classic person at one time or another.
Hopefully, she has learned to elevate her
efforts to the marvelous level of her abilities.
While she has characterized herself a
"witch," her push has propelled "Back in
Blue" and earned her the respect and
appreciation of her staff and advisor.
Deborah, tackle life's tasks as you have
those timeless editing sessions, and success
awaits your summit of those self-styled
mountains. It was always you who was
there, through loyalty to your own goals and
mine, at each deadline's end.
The organizer and accomplisher of
50-60% of all yearbook editing identifies
Beth Wojtak. Her work always came to me
first, and Beth initiated direction. Beth has
carved personal achievements deeply into
"Back in Blue." Through the strength with
which she grasped both Deborah and the
book, yet with subtle gentleness, "Back in
Blue" stands in its own light, never the
shadow of another. Beth, you have truly
proven yourself one of mine, an editor
extraordinaire whose commitment has
claimed my respect and affection.
My family has granted me their
generous patience in allowing me to give the
full measure to this staff. Thank you, Phil,
Sandy, Kregg and Amber.
To the All-American, we say the
Classic is, indeed, BACK in '83 - "Back
in Blue."
Mrs. Sandy Jacoby

'83 Baek ID
Foeus

By Photography Editors Becky Bain and Jon Fox

Enlarging on our knowledge of
photographic techniques, summer camp at
Indiana's Ball State University during the
first week of August proved valuable. To
understand what was expected of us in the
upcoming year, we as photo editors pooled
ideas for the newly revised photography
system. This task that was expanded from
8 to 16 photographers developed into an
educational experience.
To vary daily activities, we established
monthly rotation schedules not only for the
staffers, but for ourselves as well.
While moaning over the idea of
textbook learning, photographers further
strengthened their own skills by critiqueing
their photos, writing reviews on Darkroom
magazines articles, and accumulating a
specific amount of shooting credits.
Viewing our photographers for the first
time, we began to realize the immense
responsibility ahead of us.
Among the faces in the crowd was
returning senior Leah Paz. With her past
experience, she proved quite valuable not
only in shooting school events, but also as
acting as an assistant P.E. in the darkroom .
Being active in sports did not stop John
Edwards, Jeanette Cassity, and Karen
Ewens. Instead, their special knowledge
focused on the right moment to capture key
athletes at peak performance.
Under the pressure of competition,
John not only excelled in three sports, but
also recorded the achievement of Jeff
Drehrer's state run.
Swinging from racket to camera,
Jeanette shot the action of the conference
championship tennis team.
After splashing to her own victories in

the fifty freestyle, Karen shot the tough
conference second place win.
When deadline pressured the staff,
everyone was expected to pull together.
Among those who stand out as going over
and above the requirements was Brenda
Wolf. She worked the standard overtime
lunch hour, and also printed and developed
during 6th hour instead of working as Mrs.
Jacoby's aide.
A few events seemed to get coverage
especially well. Beth LoCicero shot many
bake sales while tasting morsels of the
merchandise.
Although classroom assignments
cramped Dan Lodginski's style, he dedicated two or more hours to each shooting
assignment. This eagerness inspired Pete
Shulski to contribute his creative energies.
When second semester rolled around
and the need of an additional photographer
arose, Pete hustled to catch up on darkroom
and technical experience. Beyond doing an
excellent job of shooting wrestling, he was
always a riot and added a laugh when it
was well deserved .
Paul Phillips, one of only four returning
seniors, asserted a quiet leadership that wtis
necessary to steer a relatively inexperienced staff in the direction of excellence.
Innumerable assignments were handed over
to Paul when no one else allotted the time.
If every staffer shared the responsibility that Barb McKinley did, the life of a
photo editor would be easier! When needed

in the darkroom or out shooting she was
always willing to fulfill the commitment.
Lisa Everts was a quiet and quick
learning individual. If any photographer
showed any uniqueness or worked at
photojournalism, it was Lisa.
If our photographers received time and
a half for working overtime, Shawn Walrath
would be raking in a bundle. He stayed in
the darkroom during many lunch hours to
print "desperately needed" deadline
photos. This performance earned him the
task of photography editor for the '83-'84
year.
Shawn Steenhagen was always ready
to tackle and create those "hard to get"
shots. His drive was an inspiration to the
staff. This earned him respect, appreciation
and recognition from the entire staff and led
to his selection as next year's other
photograph editor.
Change challenged our organization,
academic versatility and pioneer spirit. Trial
and error pioneered the way toward training
the new staff and then continuing the
academic challenge beyond first semester's
text Photography for Student Publications.
The one-day photo processing from posing
to printing for a, deadline proved our
capability to handle anything photographically. For every quality photo, a photographer paid the price of time and
commitment. As the bottom line, personal
pride focused on developing Classic " Back
in Blue."

Shades of Blue
Between racing out to J's and stuffing
an oversized staff into an undersized room,
'83 was a year of adversity. Yet, individual
personalities, shades of blue, meshed to
innovate an already successful yearbook
program. New column systems, sidebars
and alphabetical name kickers distinguished
"Back in Blue."
The captain crunch crew in the classes
section was skippered by Tracy Kennedy
and Donna Broesch. With Tracy's layout
experience, she tackled the task of the four
column. Donna's expertise with the mugs
and the newspaper clippings unveiled her
as the unknown artist. Mike Wade's
completion of four features in one deadline
secured him the position of co-editor with
Tempest's Rhonda Payne. Mike's side kick
Robert Patton always came up with an
"excuse" for not being on time. The third
musketeer, "Joyful" Joy Welch and her
caramel candy bars booted her way through
the army story and was lined up for the
Student Life editor. Silent Melanie Maas is
now "Master of the Charmin Arts" after
unrolling her toilet papering story. Proving
to be true blue, Sussi Lundquist finished her
Brewers story with a grand slam. Whenever
we needed a helping hand, our "assistant
editor" Pam Callahan always seemed to
burp her way out to J's house. Watch out
for those French men!
Mark Ricci, lead vocalist of the
Academic Rock-n-Rollers, cranked out a
new style with Academic features and
sidebars, not the Student Handbook.
Stacking layouts as well as pizzas, Tom
Crosetto came through with his Badger
Boys State pictures and well written copy.

To top off the pizza incident, Gary Strom
found himself axle deep through the
cornfields and his controversial features. At
Ball State camp, he garnered a writing
award, and throughout the course of the
year, he grew to equal his recognition. Amy
Torrez's complete turn-around directed her
to view teachers in a totally different light
and pile up the hours typing and indexing.
Quietly but effectively, Marci Johnson let
loose in her writing, driving her to the
Academics editorial position. Splashing his
way through J's driveway and his humor
throughout his copies, Mike Williams won
our hearts and the E-in-C position.
Always shortening copy, organized
Groups editor Patrice Ewald put her foot
down but never on the petal to get out to
J's. · Anyone who sacrifices as many lunch
hours for her staffers did not need to make
the county trek. Bill Chase and his "oh so
sweet" clothes exposed his hairy butt and
a great personality. His comeback was a
solid hit. Rolling out her kinks at J's, Tricia
Arentz took care of business on her layouts
in preparation for Business Manager.
Austrian exchange student Hanno Settele
really did his own writing on the Symphonic
Band layout. Along with a spotless Treble
Clef copy, Jenn Smestad never "Drew" any
bad layouts and also "Drew" Bob out to do
his work. Resolving her orchestra conflict,
competent Vananh Tran went solo and will
direct the Groups section.
Before the final buzzer, Sports editors
Bob Ward and Rachel Lepp pulled it
together and slid their layouts in safely.
Sidebar scoreboards demanded detailed
consistency, and overnights at J's became

a habit for Rachel. A far kick from his first
soccer layout, Don Habel independently ran
two track copies and one layout at once.
The push was to return him from Paris to
the Classic fold. Rob Knickrehm's Magic
Bus helped get his head together, and he
smashed out faultless tennis. Rhonda Kilby
counted the lumps on her head along with
the calisthenic repetitions in her stat story.
Complete with blistered feet and old
sayings, Gary Powell jived his awards story
to cruise in for an all nighter to learn the
ropes on Sports layouts. Such knowledge
will prove invaluable as Sports Editor.
Chasing summer photos for half the
year, Student Life editor Pat Fuller's flair
with Amber and Kregg carried over into his
successful section. Thanks, Pat. Conscientious Carolyn Jones with her colorful nails
and Madrigal layout enjoyed editing for a
day and polished Gary's award story. On
his fads' spread, Paul Campagna insisted on
a preppie photo, not reflective of his stylish
dressing. To prove that two heads are
better than one, Kathy Jonaus and Jenn
Peltier added humor to the assembly
feature and captured them E-in-C commando positions.
Yippity Skippity Cheryl Baetz freshened the armpit of the room with her Tom
Selleck posters. Staff morale took the cake
with Cheryl and the "peons." To coax the
soph-o-mores into buying the Classic, Cheryl
underwent long hours of digging through
mom's closet for just the right d.k.p. suit.
Reflecting "Back in Blue," the
bittersweet memories from Ball State camp
to closing pages have pulled the staff apart,
and yet drawn us ultimately together.

288 Back In Blue

E-in-C Baeks Blue
Only now, after a long year of editing
"millions" of staff copies, squeaking past
deadline dates and toiling over piles and
piles of proof returns, do I feel like we have
sliced away at the goals we set in
September. Looking back to day one, I
remember being bombarded from all sides
by friends, homework, cross country
practices, Friday night dances and the
unfamiliar routines and responsibilities of
E-in-C. Setting all but the latter aside, I
quickly adapted to the life of typebooks and
triplicates in and around Mrs. Jacoby's
home and the Classic office.
Mrs. Jacoby, constantly sacrificing and
immeasurably dedicated to her work as
yearbook adviser, has been a special
someone to me. Through her "forceful"
demands and reassuring chats, I have
enhanced my leadership and communication skills tremendously. Words alone could

never be thanks enough. Also deserving
extra thanks are Mr. Jacoby, Sandy, Kregg
and Amber for allowing us to steal "Mom"
away and sharing the Jacoby home.
My seventh hour "sweethearts," Beth
Wojtak and Deborah Wilk, rounded out our
awesome threesome and kept me plugging
away with their warm smiles and humor
even at two in the morning. Always taking
the initiative, Beth was one for getting things
done early, and with Deborah's persistant
pushing of the staffers and editors,
deadlines invariably were finalized. I have
grown to respect you both for your
intelligence, devotion and your concern for
me as a person. We could never have done
it without each other.
I also could not have done it without
our business manager, Cheryl Baetz. She
did everything from writing and counting
headlines to designing layouts, in between

her own ad and index work. As my personal
companion, she realized what I had to get
done and was there to help me through the
frustrations of yearbook editing. Thanks!
Mom, Dad and Jeff merit a special
thanks for their understanding and total
support of my obligations as E-in-C.
The memories of "Wisconsin Lovers"
and our all night closet capers at U-Ball
lightened the spirits of last summer's early
theme sessions and carried through to the
very last all-nighter creating "Back in Blue."
On the surface it would appear from clothes
caked with one inch of mud that our
greatest efforts were pushed by Cheryl
Baetz, Bill Chase, Mark Ricci and myself to
Gary Strom's axle-deep mud ride through
J's yard instead of yearbook pages. Yet,
drives through the country brought us closer
together and closer to page 296 that
reflected the year "Back in Blue."

Editor-In-Chief 289

So Laid Baek
I wanted to fit in with the characteristics of this untraditional year, but priorities
took over, and Classic consumed my life.
Rushing from school te> work, and out
through the cornfields to J's house, "You
Can't Always Get What You Want" echoed
that I was not having a normal laid back
senior year. I began to realize that I had
to do more than just fulfill my responsibilities; I had to do them right, just finishing
my work was not enough. Before I could
expect 36 staff members to put forth their
best effort, I had to prove my own
dedication. As in the way I made it
everywhere, a little late, my devotion finally
arrived.
Through Classic,
acquired an
appreciation for experiences that are not
necessarily fun, but valuable in the long run.
Putting the year together page by page, I
saw an overview of the school-, the people
and my own capabilities. I not only gained
writing and editing skills, but also how to
organize 37 people's ideas and styles into
296 pages.
The "serious" organizer, Mrs. Jacoby,
always worked us into her busy schedule,
and around ours. Her constructive criticism
helped me to think more critically and
tighten my writing. It was not always
possible for us to raise our effort to the
Intense level of commitment that little
woman had, and at times I did not want to
290 Editor·ln·Chief

try. Contact with this sort of person, one
who has a passion and dedication to
excellence, will undoubtedly prove invaluable in broadening my awareness.
The sweetest disposition in the Classic
office, Pam Callahan, assisted Beth and me
through the midnight hours. Her humor
brightened late nights, overlooked blown
stop signs, not to mention the extra stories
she pounded out. I owe the closeness of our
friendship to Classic. Brian, the warm
hearted "silent" partner of the trio, was
always very methodical and systematic in
his thinking and working.
Through all the frustrations and hair
raising seventh hours, the most valuable
asset has been not only working with Beth,
but her friendship . She never ceases to
amaze and impress me with her knowledge,
humor and abilities. I have a trememdous
amount of respect and admiration for her
as a person. Our deep discussions and
grumbles about "it" kept me sane when I
could not handle "it" anymore. Next year
is going to be tough writing papers in
Colorado when she is in Florida; we seemed
to inspire each other.
Classic was a constant struggle from
"wanting to work" to just laying back and
"banging on the drums all day." '83
memories, some good, some bad, but all
"Back in Blue."

Blues Cap '83
After realizing the responsibilities of an
Editor-in-Chief, it hit me that dedication is
not just the amount of time put into a
project, it is the quality of that time. Yet,
when I look back, those hours seemed to
stretch on and on with the accomplishments
surmounting only at the end.
Responsibilities transformed into more
than just the bare minimum. The difficulties
I overcame in the beginning of the year
became routine as I encountered new
problems with each deadline. Writing posed
most of the obstacles at first. In working
with the other E-in-C's, that dull white paper
attained a life of its own when the words
started flowing.
These words pieced together when
Brian came up with our theme. Each layout
he labored on consumed hours to deliberate
over every detail. Our "assistant editor,"
Pam Callahan impressed me with her
creative writing ability and humor. Her
burps, chocolate chips and "How to be
Seductive Talks" exposed the real Pam as
she dazzled through late nighters.
Without Deborah, I could have never
pulled through this. While travelling through
the cornfields on our way home from J's,

her tone deaf "I Don't Wanna Work" songs
at six in the morning kept me alert for the
day ahead. My respect for her shaped our
working relationship into a friendship that
always will last. I discovered not only Classic
details of layout and copy, but also personal
insight. With some of her independence
rubbing off on me, I might just be able to
make it.
Through all of the time, effort, food
and inconvenience, Mrs. J was always there
driving herself and working around our
hectic schedules. Although my priorties may
not have been straight all of the time, she
always understood and tried to guide me in
the right direction. When our thoughts
began to coincide, I knew that I was learning
something.
With the completion of the book, a
great weight was lifted off my shoulders.
But, thinking back, I found that just giving
produced more results than both giving and
taking. The total perspective that I acquired
on the year aided my comprehension that
though staffers work on the book, we
inevitably transformed our concept of
"Back in Blue" into a vivid and real picture
of the individual flavor of 1982-83.

Bitters-weet Bines
Class charisma held the end of
the year together. Waltzing into Mr.
Musser's 6th hour on the last day,
Math Analysis students dragged in
their pillows, blankets and sleeping
bags in protest. At Sunnyside, about
50 seniors drank lunch and toasted
the "Strohs Family" and graduation.
Students changed their final
month skip day plans of sunning at
Silver and picnicing at Pets to
remaining in school, out of the rain.
Only 35 people braved the cold and
the consequences on senior skip day .
When spring never sprung,
athletes adjusted their training. For

those who put in the extra hours to
overcome injuries, weather and
competition, state berths were
racked up in four sports. Wendy
Hunkeler in the 800 meter and Jeff
Dreher in the 1600 meter represented Trojan track teams in Madison
June 3 and 4 . Protesting Burlington's violation of the 11 inning
pitching rule in the second game of
sectionals, the softball team slid into
state.
The heat of controversy boiled
over in the cool spring. Paying the
price for a fifteen minute break from
third hour, an ink-stained student

that pulled the fire alarm forked
over $120 and thought it over during
a three day suspension. The
"witchhunt fiasco" of Jeff Miller and
the Tempest indited the Cheating
Committee and the Physics scandal.
"Put on your red shoes and
dance the blues" beckoned the
bittersweet summer in Trojan colors.
The melancholy favor of being
overjoyed that school's out tinged
Honors Convocation. Only the
Classic dance remained to reunite
the class of '83 "Back in Blue."

End Springs Blues
Out of the blue, senior stamina
fizzled with springs smothering
schedule. It seemed like months
even a week before that Prom,
Senior Banquet, Last Fling and
Convocation would never arrive.
May catipulted scene-seekers from
"Mystical Moments" into Graduation. Saturation from planning,
getting ready and being there
yielded numbness. Three day
Memorial Day weekend gave a
chance to catch one's breath and
look back at all the events that were
"missed." The brief encounter with
each night did not allow enough time

to grasp the permanence.
After buying dresses, renting
tuxes, washing cars and snapping
pictures, the pre-prom anxieties
were swapped with "I can't wait till
4:30" attitudes. The caged in
atmosphere set couples to their
mark at 4:29. Yet, after Senior
Banquet, the more laid back style
swayed seniors to carry on the
partying at Cagney's and the
Landmark until the wee hours of the
morning.
With the senior victory in the
Powder Puff game, the "uniors"
stepped back at Last Fling and

surrendered the dance floor. Ironically, seniors in Hawaiian shirts and
sun glasses let everyone know
"they're leaving today" while high
stepping to Old Blue Eyes Frank
Sinatra's "New York, New York."
At Honors Convocation the
realization of the "end" slapped
seniors in the face, along with two
hours detention for those who ended
their 13 years 4 hours early. Having
sauntered into the halls in September, seniors tidal-waved their exit
through a sea of blue, clutching a
diploma and "Back in Blue"
memories.
