Movin' in Big Time

•
Movin' ID,
sophomores jammed at the
first dance-atho on April 18, as Trojan life ranged
from 144's stu y hall to final highlights at Convocation.
hile the Deja Vu yearbook had efreshed
522 juniors and 483 seniors on A ust 16 for
the next-time-around, Septemb
3 merged
650 soph faces into the already blue and red
crowd. Moving in challenged s dents to per·
form up to ability in class, o the field, on
stage and, most of all, on ti e.
Assignments from nightly
mework in Mr.
Richard Darula's Algebra II Honors to long·
term novel project in Americ n Literature de·
manded on-time efforts. Wh le consistent re·
suits scored big-time grade , interest in the
inconsistent and the new spu ted like a napth·
alene and sulfur experiment.
hen these two
mixed in Mr. Dennis Glynn's
istry I Honors class, junior

right arm fell victim as pyrex and solution
burned it. Four times on May 8, fires sparked
dismay in chemistry students' minds and Mr.
Glynn's mind.
New faces dotted usual classrooms as de·
partments acquired ten additional faculty
members and Mr. Francis Oberpriller, Assis·
tant Principal of Guidance and Scheduling.
Long service, though, honored Mrs. Mary Ga·
mache as Teacher of the Year and Principal
Richard Regner as Administrator of the Year
on May 12.
With the addition of first-timers Composi·
tion 11 Honors, Chemistry I Regular, Math
Analysis Regular and the Composition Man·
ual, the administration aimed to guide stu·
dents through Trojan halls at their own pace.
Yet, sophomores crunched under the seven·
teen-credit load and bemoaned the no-study·
hall fact, homework.
Calling time out from biology notes or band
notes on Thursday evenings, students tuned
in Channel 4 at 7 p.m. to see prime time's The
Cosby Show. Thirty minutes later, Family
Ties sidetracked teens who compared Alex
and Malarie's trapped lobsters to Advance
Biology's fetal pig dissection.
Tremperites bored with re·runs rented VHS
tapes to catch The Breakfast Club, St Elmo's
or any movie so good that a one·time deal
dem ded a second show.
Setti
aside the color screen for the silver
screen, Tr j ns dished out $3 to $4 for such
premiers as
· e Nights, Pretty in Pink or
Top Gun. Sequels · e Nightmare on Elm
Street, Part II, Rocky IV a
irst Blood, Part
II lured hatchet-flick lovers away
demic priorities for about two hours. It was
anybody's guess, and everybody's delight, as

to how many sequels would reappear time
after time.
More classic than Coke, Levi's and Senior
Spirit '86 T·shirts renewed the phrase "time
after time" in fashion. New waves in fashion
moved in to splash Swatch designs, Coke's
"red, white and you" and paisley patterns on
students. In Jams and wild, floral shirts,
dance·athoners boogied on April 18 to dance
for student activity dollars.
As Jams and clam·digger three-quarter
pant length shortened fashion, the administra·
tion outlawed such articles of clothing on
May 2, only to reapprove the pants on May 6.
However, all fads battled time as in went out
with Lake Michigan's tide.
"QT, that's quality time" blasted from the
PA as Student Activities Director Gary Pau·
lauskas squalled the in phrases for sports
jargon during the Jan. 24 week. The "Bed·
rock Twins would put the pearl to the paint,"
all to satisfy sports fans delirious with basket·
ball mania. Such Big 9 Conference play heat·
ed competition in every sport except girls
gymnastics. Only varsity wrestlers pinned the
gold in the Big 9 to grab the conference cham·
pionship.
Big times colored Friday·night events rang·
ing from junior varsity's early games to Sen·
ior Banquet's ''Glory Days." For time after
time, Big Time referred not only to the big,
but also the small. Moving in for more than
just seven hours each of the 180 days, sopho·
mores, juniors and seniors united to shou

never rang stronger than it did on June 12
when 460 graduates moved up from the
scope of high school no·shorts rule and hall·
way passes Three weeks earlier though , Sen·
ior Banquet retraced the class of '86 's steps in
time through the 37·minute slide show , 370
frames that reflected a year, a school that had
lived it Big Time.
From the 6·7 heartbreaking Park game on
Oct. 24 when the football team fell one·yard
short of a state berth to the junior's last·ditch
and last·day effort to pull off a pink and blue
"Gone with the Wind" prom, it seemed that
Tremperites just could not get the timing
right. Yet, Trojan drive pulsed the school. Stu·
dent Congress plastered the halls with "Fri·
day's Just Around the Corner" cheer·up post·
ers, "Herb's from Horlick, let's Whop 'em"
basketball sign and "Hang In There, The End
Is Near" year·end slogans.
Following the timely trends of Live Aid on
July 13 and Hands Across America on May
25, Key Club emphasized that teens could,
indeed, "make a brighter day." As the lines

bers collected a record -breaking 4000 pounds
of food and $1050 on the Dec. 8 to 19 Food
and Barrel Drive for Kenosha 's needy .
Turning to prime·time T .V., Tremperites focused the tube to catch channel 4 highlight·
ing Kenosha 's hometown celebrity Daniel J.
Travanti from Hill Street Blues. At the May 14
2A·2B assemblies, Travanti candidly re·
hashed the old times , the hard times and the
good times from Kenosha to Hollywood.
Timing problems ticked in again and again.
This time schedules clashed as the Oct. 11
Tremper ACT testing date fell on Homecom·
ing morning. Eight full hours of sleep and a
good breakfast were absurd when floats still
lacked final touches.
Timing problems , yes. The irony of the
power mech fire, when not one student evacuated the school, aroused snickers about the
10 routine fire drills that had marched 1750
students repeatedly onto surro unding
sidewalks. Fire trucks pulled up. th is time
with an evacuation, to squelch a fire in the
academic east wing boys restroom on April
25.
Time never threatened more menacingly
though, than at the close of each semester.

Students, who had heard teacher charges of
" 20% of your grade, mandatory " finals,
squeezed by when the Board of Education
sent the semester final proposal back to corn·
mittee to work out the details. Instead of
cramming for finals, students let loose on
Pet's tobaggan run during the Dec . 23 to Jan.
5 winter break and at the 0-0 Powder Puff
game where the Jammin' Juniors held off the
Slammin ' Seniors on May 23.
After the Powder Puff game, the Last Fling
dance ushered in New Voice Radio's announcement of the number·one requested
song of the year , " Shout" by Otis Day and the
Knights. In no time at all Frank Sinatra's
"New York, New York " spun the gym in a
Trojan kicklline. Circling with arms drapped
over shoulders, the students rocked in time to
the last song of the year.
With Tremperites on a timeline of Sept. 3 to
June 12, accomplishments testified that Tro·
jans were movin' up Big Time

Movin' out to the national scene, 400 students pumped, but not in vein, because 386 community donors joined with them to
bag 786 pints to
T remper boasted of nationally recognized
groups and individuals. The Golden Strings '
California appearances, the Classic 's fourth
National Scholastic Press Association AllAmerican , the Band of the Black Watch 's
Florida performance and Tyson Wilda 's Na·
tional Merit Scholarship collected accolades.
Student Congress , though , recruited 400
students for a type of event like no otherBlood Drive '86. From across Kenosha, " All
You Need Is Blood " called to anyone at least
17 years of age and over 110 pounds for
Student Congress ' eighth annual Blood Drive.
Congress clamped the '81 record of 768 pints
to clinch a new national record of 786.
Like donors checking in at the four stations
in the blood-donating process, the drive itself
passed through four phases .
In phase one, Congress ' Blood Drive Kickoff day strutted a streamerized Commons and
36 Congress members ready to pounce on
elgible donors. Starting at 7: 10 a.m . when the
school's 1750 students arrived on Feb. 7 , Congress collected 50 signups before first hour.
Stepping out into the chilly winter air on
Feb. 8 for the third phase of the drive, 500
teens flocked to the red balloon and crepepaper decked cafeteria to the Blood Drive
Kick-off Dance. The dancers jumped to Shout
and raced for the spirit bell.
Breaking the big tie between juniors and
seniors, class presidents literally fed their
faces in the chocolate cream pie-eating contest . Smearing the j unior and senior class
presidents, Gina Boyd chomped the most,
marking up 15 sophomore points.
Teams of three members from each class
had raced toddler tricycles to the end of the
cafeteria and back and hobbled the same
course for the three-legged race. At the end
the seniors walked away with the bell.
Besides decorating the cafeteria , Student
Congress members decorated themselves in
" Give Life" T-shirts donated by the Blood
Center or in other homemade outfits with
catchy blood-orientated phrases and men 's
oversized heart-printed boxer shorts. Seniors
Tara Puterbaugh and Erika Hackemer boo·
gied in last year 's blood drop costumes .
Earlier that day, Congress had touched off
the second phase of the drive. Members sacrificed free time to canvas the city . Armed with
a list of past donors, 28 Congress members

dialed fast and furiously at the Phone-athon
on Feb.8 , from 10 a.m . to 1 a.m. from various
school offices. Some scattered to businesses
such as AMC , Snap-On and Super Sports that
posted signs on their marquees or windows
and announced Drive info to employees.
A want-ad in the personal column of the
Kenosha News captured readers ' eyes with
" Desperately Seeking Blood Donors. " With
another eye-catcher, cable channel 29 flashed
a Blood Drive message on its Community
Board for two weeks prior to the drive. Kenosha 's WRKR and WLIP, Racine's WRJN and
Milwaukee's WTMJ filled in gaps between
tunes with drive info.
All Congress ' publicity and recruiting tac·
tics nabbed 1140 donors during the five
weeks of recruiting. Because statistically only
two-thirds of recruitments show up, Congress
set their goal for " 800 in '86."
Prizes for every 1OOth registered student
donor provided added incentives. Hungry
Head whipped up a six-foot sub for the lucky
winner, junior Dave Smestad.
The fourth and toughest phase filled up
March 13 and 14. Some eager and some notso-eager donors dropped in from 10 a.m. to 6
p.m. on March 13 and 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on
March 14. After completing a brief health
questionnaire and blood-type sample, 786 donors shuffled over to the donating area and
then to the refreshment-recovery center.
Nurses deferred 73 people due to unsatisfactory health signs.
By 4 p.m . on the second day of the drive,
Congress President Tami Ironside and Stu·
dent Activities Director Gary Paulauskas realized the pints had trickled past an ordinary
school achievement. A warm cheer echoed
throughout the gym: " We broke the record! "
Newspapers from the Kenosha News to the
Milwaukee Sentinel to USA Today featured
the 786 record . Channel 4 pumped up the
excitement with an on-the-spot feature for
their 10 O'clock News.
Chairpersons who made sure the timing
was just right were Simone Sargent, Publicity;
Ann Colter , Recruitment; Kris Long , Scheduling; Erika Hacemer, Refreshments; and Esther Marianyi, Work Force.
The Blood Drive poured out of the school,
even past the community, for the nation to
applaud; it moved out Big Time.

Chatting with Work Force Chairperson Esther
Marianyi, senior Dianne Anderson squeezes a
foam rubber sponge every five seconds.

Chowing on chocolate chip cookies, senior Bob
Carney gathers his Pizza Hut coupon and Blood
Drive sticker before returning to sixth hour.

At station two of the donating process, eligible
donors line up; those in a hurry carried yellow
cards to rush them through.

For the first event of the Blood Drive Kick-Off
Dance 's spirit games, sophomores and juniors
check on their ties for the three-legged race.

school to revive 1984-85 in hot-offthe-press copies of Deja Vu. Yet ,
less than a month later, Big Time
events such as the " Purrrfect "
Homecoming celebration
launched Trojans into 1985-86.
Soon after senior spirit had given juniors the blues and seniors
the bell, voices raised in a different chorus for the Christmas sea-

son . The tenth anniversary of Ye
Olde Englishe Christmasse Feaste
joined 1325 guests with 200 students for three evenings of singing, juggling and jesting.
Three months preparation led
up to a " rippin " ' musical production of The Boyfriend on March
20, 21 and 22. Keeping time with
high stepping tunes, student talent roared from the chorus line.
Just in time to soften spring fever , " A Night Gone With the
Wind " swept through the school
in pastel pinks and sky blues.
Flowering trees accented Southern bell gowns and lacy fans as
Cool Hand rocked the doors open
at 8 p.m . on May 9 for 212 cou-

Two weeks later, football fans
followed pre-Powder Puff practices with anxiety. At the 6 p .m.
kickoff on May 23, none anticipated the 0-0 conclusion. Eight

Candid photo sales by the yearbook staff
also focused on memories, but the sale was
almost the only opportunity for students to
look at pictures of last school year. After
proof and production delays, Jostens Yearbook Company destroyed a sixteen-page signature of Deja Vu and reprinted in order to
upgrade quality. Jostens' staff completed the
final production stages of binding and packing the Classic near midnight Aug . 18. Jostens' representative Gary Byrne then drove
straight through from Topeka , Kansas, to Kenosha for Tremper's Aug. 19 distribution.
" Mrs. Jacoby, our adviser, was in the plant
in Topeka on Aug. 18 because she was concerned about final production and delivery.

While Paul Young 's, " Every Time You Go

" The Classic dance was one of my favor·

lipping the switch, the 2A-2B Assem bly turned the spotlight on the campaign for the Homecoming Queen of
1985. Anticipation filled the air as em·
cee Jackie Pileski introduced each candidate .
The candidates, Michelle Cairo, Gina Carravetta, Ann Colter, Erika Hackemer, Christine
Hines, Tami Ironside, Kris Long, Esther Marianyi, Nicole Nudi, Kari Schulz, Julie Wolf,
Shawn Wolf, and their escorts sauntered
across the stage to present speeches. Students listened for the qualifications presented
in the first six candidates ' speech .
Updating a Neil Sedaka tune, juniors Daniel

Girls. " Also, the Golden Strings soothed the
audience with " Wunderbar, " "Cotton-Eyed
Joe" and " Orange Blossom Special. "
Six other speeches followed as the girls
detailed school contributjons. Candidates introduced campaign slogans and encouraged
students to vote in the coming week.
As the October 6-11 spirit week of final touches on floats snipped by, Tuesday's
Hawaiianites fled for Wednesday security
blankets and Cabbage Patch Dolls. The main
course of the seniors' " Meow-Luau " consisted of "Roast the Cats." While juniors and
sophomores scraped up last-minute float additions on Saturday, the seniors ' feast float simmered at Mr. Arcangelo Romano's house.

swarmed the jam-packed gym on Coronation
Day at 1:30 p .m . on October 11 to witness the
crowning of the 1985 queen, instead of opting
a study hall. " The number of queen candidates jumped to twelve because of the popular demand of students," explained Congress
President Tami Ironside.
Mr. Gary Paulauskas kicked off the ceremonies by announcing emcees Jim Hammelev and Tara Puterbaugh. After a precision
drill to the " Star-Spangled Banner," Black
Watch 's Color Guard formed the path for the
candidates and escorts while Wind Ensemble
played from student bleachers and Symphonic Band echoed on the gym floor. Then , exchange students Scott Thorburn and Rafael
Rosales rolled out the runner.

Hammelev and Puterbaugh announced Tro·
jan Mark Gohlke as an uproar flowed from the
crowd. Gohlke aroused Tremperites for battle
with his " Trojan Pride" poem.
Screams of students anxious for the results

Blitzing out of the piled-up gym, enthusias·

home to equip themselves to ring the spirit
bell for their class at the 7 p .m . pep rally in
the cafeteria .
Shaving balloons , tricycle races and a
three·legged race challenged the determined
Trojans in the opening games in the cafeteria .
The seniors squeaked out a four-point victory
over the juniors. Then, Cheerleading Captain
Kari Schulz presented senior Christopher Osmon with a Big Brute T-shirt and bat.
About 8 p.m. enthusiasm spilled over on
the dance floor as students joined the Trojan·
ettes porn pon routine. The exhausted court
and student body toga-ed to New Voice Radio
DJ 's Bob Carney and Steve Schuetz who bent
to the crowd's shouts and spun Tears for

thoughts drifted on to Saturday morning and

repellent Tremperites put finishing
touches on the junior float. At Lincoln
Park, careful planning shined through
the overcast sky as the Homecoming '85 pa·
rade kicked off at noon on October 11.
As the rain slowed to a meager drizzle, Sub
Deb clowns headed the procession down 22nd
Avenue to Anderson Field . The Homecoming
court followed . Between class floats, Key
Clubbers donned garbage bags as Quaker
Dipps to support the "Save the Children"
campaign.
Selected by judges, Mr. Sam Ritacca, Mr.
John Schmidt, Mr. Andrew Fennema, Mr.
Frank Perri and Mr. Kurt Chalgren, the blue
ribbon float, "Meow Luau/Roast those Cats"
carried Hawaiian-decked seniors lounging to
the Beach Boys Greatest Hits and sipping
"Nada Coladas" through the less than tropi·
cal breeze. The junior's "Bury the Cats" float,
capturing second place, boomed eerie music
with ghoulish figures digging tombs around
dry ice effects. Pulling in third place, "Cream
Those Cats" carried sophomores as cats with
paper mache vegetables. DECA club walked
away with the winning banner "Trojan Power
Purrfect," beating others such as Sub Deb's
"Your Nine Lives Are Up" and Spirit Board's
"Cage Those Cats."
Tremper exploded with spirit, firing up with
cheers, songs and even firecrackers accompa·

nied by danger warnings. " I couldn 't believe
the police woula pull over the junior class
truck. Honestly, no firecrackers came from
the junior truck . This sort of thing makes it
difficult to get a parade permit, " said junior
Kristine Rhey .
By 11 a.m ., the Trojan football team

record and to stomp the Bay View Redcats.

Occasional showers prompted chilled par·
ents, alumni and students to drag out umbrel·

Colored, computer confetti clung to the
crowd's soaked skins after each touchdown .
The traditional Black Watch half·time show
was cancelled due to the mud-slicked field,
and the Trojanettes cancelled their perfor·
mance. However, the Homecoming Queen Ni·
cole Nudi and court ignored the showers and
appeared on the field.
The Trojans dominated the scoreboard

with a final 42·8 score. Highlights centered on
the passing combination of quarterback Rolf
Schmitz to tight end Chad England. Englund
waltzed into the end zone for three touch·
downs. Scott Grundy 's accurate kicking tal·
lied six extra points in the win .
As the defeated Redcats returned home,
students hurried to change for " Autumn
Whispers" and dinner dates. One of the more
popular restaurant routes included the drive
on Highway 31 to Trumps in Racine .
"I couldn't believe how many tables were
filled by Tremper couples. Our dinner for two
turned into a social for twenty. I can't say it
was bad because I really had a great time!"
exclaimed senior Tami Ironside.
"Autumn Whispers," decorated in orange

undling up to protect themselves
from the biting temps, the Olde Eng·
lishe Christmasse Feaste transported
guests back in time from the 20th
century Elk's Club dining hall to an elegant
16th century feaste on December 12
through 16.
The beefeaters with solemn expressions
and the Lorde High Chamberlaine, Mr. Terry
Lawler, greeted the guests as jesters
ushered them to the reserved seats. The
guests' attention diverted to the Lorde High
Chamberlaine's throne nestled in a back·
ground of red velvet. Flags from different
kingdoms draped the banquet hall.
Scents of freshly baked bread, spicy was·
sail, smoked salmon and baked cornish hen
hung thickly in the air. All elements of sight,
taste and smell combined to enrich the at·
mosphere. "The Feaste was from an alto·
gether different time period. The feeling of
togetherness, feasting and spinning tales of
the past are medieval customs not unlike
ours today and my Christmas wouldn't be
complete without it," remarked recorder
player Lisa Schultz. Enhancing the holiday
spirit, twenty-six Madrigal Singers hosted
the Feaste with such carols as "Deck the
Hall," "Here We Come A Wassailing" and
"Gloucestshire Wassail." Beginning with the
carol "A Great and Mighty Wonder," the
Lorde High Chamberlaine led the strolling
procession of Lordes and Ladyes to their
table.
Following English tradition, the jesters
toasted wassail to the guests' good health.

B

Seniors Fernando Paz and Andrew Hovey
carried a huge bowl overflowing of fragrant
wassail while senior Keven Kautenburg
served it to the Lordes and Ladyes. Between
breaks, the pages and wenches spooned
wassail into every guests' cup, cleared the
tables of the first course salad and retreated
to the kitchen.
While guests dined on the nine course
meal, jugglers traded off brightly colored
balls in lines and circle formations, pulling
off feats of coordination such as one man
take· aways and side by side juggling. "Roll·
ing the ball off my head while juggling al·

ways got me both applause and smiles,"
remembered Hovey.
Jesters raised a smile with frolicsome
pranks such as throwing grape seeds at
guests and smudging their eyeglasses.
"There has to be a jester inside, but the
costume and makeup helps secure the iden·
tity for me," said senior Steven Schuetz.
Strolling by the tables, Lordes' Ladyes, in
their second year of existence, posed as
soft, demure and dignified ladies. "Mr. Kurt
Chalgren, who directs the whole Feaste,
trained us to project ourselves with the man·
ners of gentlewomen of that time period,"
commented Lordes' Ladye Sharon Piet·

kiewicz. Vocalizing "A Christmas Folk·
song," "On Christmas Night," "Caroling,
Caroling," "And We'll Dress the House," "O
Jesulein Suss," "II Court le Furret'' and
"Lullaby, My Sweet Little Baby," the La·
dyes reawakened Christmas memories for
the guests.
The sweeping chords of the "Pachabell
Cannon," bowed by the the string septet,
presented to the guests "Ye Tumblers." The
ten recorders alternated melodies with the
septet as background music. Flipping
through the air, the tumblers stunned the
audience with back handsprings and back
aerials. "The audience was amazed by our
professional synchronization of our stunts,
and they couldn't wait to see what was next.
It really was fun," reminisced senior Chris
Hines. Fencing masters offered to fight to
enter the cadre of champions as the audience cheered them on. Challenging their op·
ponents, the fencers performed foils, epees
and sabers. Closing the duel by uniformly
marching out of the hall, the fencers left the
guests.
Next came the caroling from the Madrigal
hosts with the Lordes' Ladyes on "From
Heights of Heaven to Earth I Fare." The
Madrigal Singers then soloed on "Psallite,"
"Ding Dong, Merrily on High," "II est ne le
Divin Enfant." "The Twelve Days of Christ·
mas" climaxed the evening with a lively
pantomime by the jesters.
After a standing ovation rewarded the
Madrigal Singers, flaming plum pudding sur·
prised the guests, who joined in singing car·
ols. Accompanying the Madrigal Singers in
"O Come, 0 Come Emmanuel," "Joy to the
World," "O Come All Ye Faithful" and "Si·
lent Night," guests noticed the yule log on
the Madrigal Singers' table burning low. It
has lighted each of the ten performances.
"Everyone said that this tenth anniversa·
ry was the best Madrigal Feaste yet," re·
marked Madrigal Singer Mark Lovell.
The recession of the Lordes and Ladyes
closed the evening's events. As guests de·
parted from the hall and walked down the
stairs, the Madrigal Singers wished them
"Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year."
The guests ventured out to the snow·cov·
ered parking lots, back to the year 1986.

After dinner, students shuffled inside the

band Full House decked the halls with
everything from up·beat tunes such as Dire
Straight 's " Walk of Life" to slow , romantic
ballads like Journey 's " Oh Sherrie." Couples,
who wore dark sports jackets and lacy,
black, short and long evening dresses, glided

across the floor . Christmas trees ornamented

Decoration chairpersons junior Lisa Gorecki

ornaments slowly disappeared during the
evening, only to be tucked away later into '85
scrapbooks . Many Tremperites twirled
through the hours, while others chatted,

by chairpersons juniors Sue Becker and Jean·

After a night at Frosted Fantasy, students

ith Sadie Hawkins falling on Friday ,
February 14, the number of sweetheart dinner dates increased although only three weeks earlier,
students doubted the annual dance would
take place .
The traditional sponsor of Sadie Hawkins,
Spirit Board disbanded in December leaving
the dance up for grabs. The Junior Class Ad visory Board topped the waiting list but real ized that their account lacked sufficient funds
for the many expenses. DECA stepped in and
offered additional help to the Juniors, so with
a combined effort, Sadie Hawkin 's hoedown
distilled practically overnight.
Couples in flannel plaids and rolled-up _biboveralls began to saunter through the doors at
7:30 p .m. As WRKR's Tim Dunbar spun the
hits, Wham! 's ' Tm Your Man " and ABC's " Be
Near Me" rounded up hillbillies into do-si-doing in the cafeteria .
" Since the dance landed on Valentine's Day
and school rules forbade hay because it is a
fire hazard, we decided to decorate in valentines but keep the Sadie Hawkins theme, "
explained senior Michelle Wingate.
For 10 cents, dates sentenced sweethearts
to five minutes in jail. As Marryin' Sam, junior
Matt Goldberg hitched 45 couples til midnite
for a 50 cents license fee. Marriage certifi-

cates and pipe-cleaner rings sealed vows before " kissin ' cuzins " dashed for a two-minute
getaway to the honeymoon shed .
After swingin ' to Thompson Twins ' " King
for a Day " and swayin ' to Loverboy 's " This
Could be the Night," weary partners opted for
a refreshing break of punch , brownies and
cookies in the Commons.

everything probably evened out in the end ,
and everyone was happy for Michelle," recalled senior Bob Owens.
Excitement peaked at 9:30 p .m . for the
wild hootin ' hillbillies forming an aisle for Dai·
sy Mae nominees. Junior Trish Jimenez an·

them through the cheering jamboree. Wingate
accepted the title of Daisy Mae with a crown
of daisies. She and her Lil ' Abner , senior Ron·
aid Zuehlsdorf, shared a spotlight dance to
Kenny Loggins ' " Forever " and then zoomed
through the cafeteria on the pink valentine
tandem .
At 9:30 p .m ., Warn-Barn Singing Telegrams
surprised farm folks with a free tune from
Cupid . That Friday afternoon Warn-Barn em
ployees Kim Kaley and Larry Zanba read ju·
nior Shelley Gill's reply to the " Reflections"
question in the Kenosha News - " What is
your idea of the perfect Valentine gift?"
Pleased with Gill 's response of a " singing tele
gram from my sweetheart, " Kaley and
Zamba , alias Cupid , darted to Tremper to
grant Gill her " perfect " Valentine wish . Gill
centered attention as the country bumpkins
focused on Cupid's humorous routine .
" I was totally shocked! It was so embarrass
ing, but it's fun to laugh at now. It was really a
neat surprise," chuckled Gill.
After couples shared one last dance to Lionel Richie's " Say You , Say Me," they gath·
ered marriage licenses and heart-shaped
name tags . The hoedown 's hollerin' faded by
10:30 p .m. , as partners in bandanas wrapped
up country time.

harleston flappers and French and
British accents along with fitting slang
such as " boop a doop " presented a
" ripping " musical spoof of the 1920's
to the March 20,21 and 22 audiences of The
Boyfriend.
Details flaunted polished accents, swank
scenery and costumes with sparkling rhines·
tones and '20 's swimsuits for " Sur La Plage."
Producers demanded high quality settings
that reflected a Southern French boarding
school for English ladies and a ballroom .
" We weren 't satisfied with any scenery be·
low professional caliber. With only days be·
fore opening , we rejected the backdrops deliv·
ered and had professionals paint more con·
vincing sets," explained student producer ju·
nior Amy Mierta.

C

Details topped priority lists as drama direc·
tor Mr. Jerry Rogan challenged musical par·
ticipants . We continually worked so hard on
even the small effects such as my voice in·
flection and British accent, " informed senior
Fred Christiansen , lead Percival Browne.
The characterization of the ever·so·seduc·
tive Madame Dubonnet intimidated and then
later developed senior Erika Hackemer as an
actress. " At first my character was difficult to
portray , because it was a severe contrast
from the young, prim and innocent girls I was
used to playing, " recalled Hackemer.
Chorus numbers worked toward perfection
also. Dancers rehearsed Mr. Tom Terrien 's
choreography from January 14. " There were

so many dance numbers that I was afraid we
would never have the charlestons and high
kicks together for our performances," reflect·
ed junior dance captain Jackie Pileski.
.
Meticulous work took place behind the
stage, too. The stage crew practiced placing
couches and champagne glasses at correct
intervals, and Mr. Tom Amacher 's lighting
crew followed scripts to assure proper light·
ing.

Attention to detail added to The
Boyfriend's brow-raising energy
and witty comedy.
Under the direction of Mr. Stanley Nosal ,
the orchestra spent dress rehearsals reinforc·
ing tempos . " We repeated numbers as many
as six times a rehearsal to make sure that we
kept tempo with the stage singers ," com·
mented senior baritone player Mark Goetz.
Performers from Oklahoma! reappeared
with leading roles in The Boyfriend. " My ex ·
perience with last year's musical made it ea·
sier to prepare for this show ," remarked ju·
nior Dan Kaley who portrayed the lead of the
young, millionaire Tony Brockhurst.
The magnitude of The Boy friend offered
roles to newcomers. Previously appearing
with Madrigal singers, senior Esther Marianyi
chanced her acting ability in the lead of the
young , romantic Polly Browne. " Though I' ve
been very active in music, I never before had

L I F E

an acting role , so this was an exciting new
challenge, " commented Marianyi.
In contrast to Marianyi , senior Steve
Schuetz had been exposed to acting only . " I
was always involved with plays . The singing
was the most difficult but rewarding part,"
informed Schuetz, the infamous flirt Lord
Brockhurst.
Actors and actresses interacted to present
their talent as a whole. " With our young , fun·
loving characters , it was quite easy to help
each other out with more facial expressions
and more spirited dancing," said junior Da·
mian Marhefka about himself and senior Tara
Puterbaugh, who depicted the comical leads
of Bobby and Maisie.
With a crowd of 2 ,500 over the three-night
performance , The Boyfriend 's losses
outweighed profits. " It deserved a larger
crowd . It was difficult though with Bradford 's
Variety Show , St. Joseph 's musical and Ken·
osha's Symphony Orchestra all playing on
the same nights, " explained senior student
producer Tina Schutz. Co-producers Mr.
James Firchow and Mr.Randy Skowronski
guided student producers juniors Amy Mierta
and Jenny Leu and seniors Tina Schutz and
Beth Braun . " I feel I'm speaking for all the
directors when I say how proud I am of the
professional caliber production of The Boy·
friend," concluded vocal director Mr. Kurt

houses and the cafeteria 's fried chicken welcomed 212 couples into Prom 's elegant gazebos and ballroom.
Dinner at elegant restaurants such as Racine's J _ Trumps , Kenosha's Hobnob and Milwaukee 's Hyatt ushered in the evening for
most couples.
" I was surprised to see so many people
dining at the Hyatt. More people seemed to
drive out of Kenosha for dinner this year.
With the attraction of the Hyatt's rotating
room , Milwaukee was most definitely a popular spot," commented senior Chris Osmon.

Junior football players Jon Euting, John

iors in the Elks Club ballroom at 5
p .m . on May 16 for Senior Banquet.
Grabbing seats for friends, seniors re·
fleeted on three years of " Glory Days" at their
last formal school event.
After President Ann Colter welcomed sen·
iors, Dave Blake led the invocation.
Picture takers snapped shots of friends
wearing Miami Vice's Don Johnson-style
sport coats , flaming pink ties and white jack·
ets. Girls in dressy pastels filed through the
buffet line of salad , mostaccioli, stuffing,
mashed potatoes and sliced turkey. After nab·
bing ice·cream cake logs, soon·to·be gradu·
ates meandered back to tables .
Colter opened the program by introducing
fellow officers Mike Stevens, Treasurer; Erika
Hackemer, Secretary; and Esther Marianyi,
Vice President. The spotlight beamed toward
Hackemer as she soloed in "You've Got A
Friend." Marianyi then joined Hackemer in a
duet of "That's What Friends Are For. "
Recognizing Mr. Arcangelo Romano's three
years of lending a hand with senior class ac·
tivities as adviser, class officers presented
him a wooden rocking chair inscribed with
" Arcangelo 'Congie' Romano. In appreciation
for your time, effort, and support in making
the class of '86 the best ever. Rock on, Congie
... We love you ."
"Mr. Romano was such a fun teacher!"
added senior Christy Strom. " It was nice to
see him get something for all the effort he put
into the class."
Mark Gohlke and Tara Puterbaugh then
took the podium to present the serious
awards. Gohlke noted that by "looking

the class of '86's "Glory Days, " three projec·
tors reminded seniors of three active years.

ties ' tune of "When I'm 64. "
" The slide show really rekindled my mem·
ory . There were so many things in it that
seemed like they just happened yesterday . I
won 't forget those times ," said senior Polly
Keyes .
As the last slide closed with Springsteen's
" Glory Days," Shout set up for the dance.
Opening with their rendition of " Glory Days,"
Shout drew dancers to the floor. Mixing a set
of 60 's oldies with INXS ' " What You Need "
and the Stones ' " Start Me Up, " Shout split
for only one break during the three-hour
dance. Even Principal Richard Regner, Assis·
tant Principal James Marescalco and Mr. Ro·
mano "got down " to Shout 's " Celebration "
and " Shout."
After Mr. Regner signed off with , " If there's
a better senior class president then Ann
Colter in the state, I don 't know where,"
Shout closed their gig with a slow tune.
As the upper ballroom emptied at 11 :30
p .m ., the huge paint-splotched "Glory Days"
banner symbolized the Class of '86. The ban·
ner was to be kept for the class' 10-year re·
union, a first for any class.
Student Activities Director Paulauskas re·
fleeted, "This class was one of the most well·
behaved crowds in the six years that I've been
here, but I would have expected that from this
group anyway."
After the banquet, seniors departed with
big-time plans of adding a little more glory to
their final 16 days of school.

Purple skies of rain intermittently poured over the members as

Symphonic/Concert Bands

Notes so Grandiosso
Symphonic, Concert Bands play-out compositions for superior rating
" After we completed the winter
concert, I felt proud. I felt like I
really accomplished a lot. Everyone worked hard together, and in
the end, we performed in the style
that Mr. Skowronski had been trying to teach us some six weeks
before the concert," reflected
saxophonist Sharon Pietkiewicz.
With a combined total of 99
members, Symphonic and Concert bands separately performed
at four concerts and at the Homecoming assembly in which they
cheered on Trojan friends and
classmates.
On December 4, Concert and
Symphonic Bands each per-

formed at the Winter Concert.
Concert band's " Marque " built off
a three note pattern to emphasize
percussion, while Symphonic
Band's "Incantations and Dance"
featured lyrical to pulsating
rhythms.
Held at the Bradford fieldhouse,
Band-0-Rama united both bands
with one song under the direction
of Dr. James L. Froseth on Feb. 1
and 2. This unification produced
Joseph Wilcox Jenkins' "American Overture for Band," a high
energy piece contrasting brass
and woodwind .
At the April 19 WMSA Group
Contests in class A, Symphonic

performed " Sketches on a Tudor
Psalm" and " March the Southerner" for a superior rating. Concert
also played "Riders for the Flag"
and " Chorale Capriccio" for a superior mark .
The WSMA had its Solo and Ensemble contest at Bradford High
School. Those musicians who received one star ratings proceeded
to State competition at
Whitewater were as follows: Sharon Pietkiewicz saxophone solo,
Melissa Chelle and Sue Beckerpiccolo duet, Mike Hintzman-alto
saxopjone solo, and Tracy LopasFrench horn solo.
Both bands crescendoed the

year on May 22 at the Spring Con·
cert . Featuring soloists Julie
Trusky, oboe; Peter Legler, trum·
pet; Mike Long, baritone; and Hei·
di lmpola, piccolo; Symphonic ex·
ecuted the four movements of
"Second Suit in F ." In Concert
band's portion of the program,
"Westminster Bridge" added the
band to woodwinds as the lyrical
piece increased in density. Both
songs typified their programs.
"The best part abbut band is
playing an instrument and then
hearing how much the people ap·
preciate it," recalled saxophonist
junior Corey Niles.

"In fifth grade when
I first saw what a

'That's the one!' I started playing in fifth grade in the school

ever since," recalled sophomore Tracy Lopas.

"Tracy has been involved
musically in everything she
possibly could as a sophomore,
and then some!" remarked Director Randy Skowronski.
"The things I like about playing in band and orchestra is
that the people you meet are
just fantastic, although there
are a lot of 'goof-offs' who have
to ruin it for the others. The
cooperation that's needed is almost always there, especially
in Black Watch," said Lopas.
When asked to perform with
three other French-horn players
from Wind Ensemble, Lopas
produced the much needed
horn to complete the horn quartet.
"What keeps me involved
with music is that I believe music has its own language, and to
be able to interpret that language can give me such a rewarding feeling," concluded Lopas.

Artists accent devotion
Dedication to art of music assembles 78 top-notch Trojan musicians
The Wind Ensemble and A Cap·
pella Choir crescendoed through
the 1985·86 school year four
times.
As the reed sound reverberated
throughout the auditorium on No·
vember 14, Wind Ensemble debut·
ed with " Folk Festival. " Among
the eight pieces performed , a
work by Ernst Toch entitled " Geo·
graphical Fugue," shifted the
mood of the 40 members of Wind
Ensemble.
" This piece deviates from nor·
mal wind ensemble music be·
cause the only instrument written
for it is the woodblock. We cap·
tured the audience through the
musical elements of rhythm , die·
tion and dynamics in this unique
contrapuntal composition ," said
Director of Wind Ensemble James
Firchow.
The 29th Annual Band·O·Rama
blended musical abilities of nine
school bands . The Trogan Wind
Ensemble highlighted Band·O·
Rama with a presentation of
" Slava" by Leonard Bernstein .
On February 11, the Winter
Concert at Reuther Auditorium,
the performers appeared in a sec·
ond concert. Beginning the pro·
gram, Mr. Firchow featured five
smaller ensembles which included
a brass choir, a sax quartet, a
French horn quartet, a woodwind
ensemble and a brass ensemble.
The full Wind Ensemble later
joined to present six more pieces.
" 'Bourgeois' Serenade' was un·
usual to the musically trained ear.
It was written with unusual time
signatures that kept switching

back and forth ," commented
trombonist Jeff Pade.
" The Patriots," the first of six
spring selections, opened Wind
Ensemble 's final concert on May
13. The musicians tributed " The
Patriots " to the seven deceased
astronauts of the Space Shuttle
Columbia .
Under the direction of Mr. Ran·
dy Skowronski, the Symphonic
and Concert Band concert on May
22 finalized Wind Ensemble 's sea·
son. Here, the three bands joined
forces to perform " Washington
Post" by John Philip Sousa .
At the conclusion of the even·
ing, senior Larry Trusky received
the George Manupella Scholarship
in recognition of individual musi·
cianship. Senior Rick Ishmael
earned the John Philip Sousa
Award for his efforts and achieve·
ments in the band program. lsh·
mael ended his high school musi·
cal band experience by directing
Sousa's " Washington Post," the
mass band feature.
Moreover, the band directors
presented medals from the

Just as Wind Ensemble attract·
ed the most advanced instrumen·
talists, A Cappella blended the
best·trained voices.
A Cappella opened its season at
Augustana College in Rock Island,
Illinois. Seventeen members ar·
rived on the campus on Septem·
ber 20. During the two·day stay,
the vocalists received a piece enfr
tied " The Gloria." The choir re·
hearsed and then performed a con·
cert with choirs from other cities.
On December 7 , A Cappella ap·
peared next at the 22nd Annual
Christmas Concert in the audito·
rium, they sang five songs includ·
ing " From Heights of Heaven to
Earth I Fare" and "Riu, Riu,
Chiu."
At the close of the program, the
Bradford and Tremper A Cappella

choirs united to sing Vivaldi 's
" The Gloria." The Choral Festival,
held on February 15, engaged A
Cappella 's talent. One number en·
titled " A jubilant Song " by Nor·
man Delle Joio excited the audience with its upbeat rhythm .
Group Events Contest on April
19 brought even more applause
for A Cappella . The Choir received
unanimous superior ratings from
all three judges with their perfor·
mance of " Psalm of deliverance,"
" Jubilant Song " and "Venite Exul·
temus Domino."
The A Cappella Choir finished
its season on May 20 at the Choral
Spring Concert. Just As Wind En·
semble opened with its unique
" Geographical Fugue, " A C_ap·
pella closed with "Funeral March
on the Deaths of War Heroes" by
Brock McElheran .
' " The Funeral March on the
Death of War Heroes ' was a very
unusual , but effective piece. I
think the choir was able to appre·
ciate the song more after we had
the chance to listen to the tape,"
explained soprano Sharon Piet·
kiewicz .
During the evening, four seniors
received honorary awards. Erika
Hackemer earned the National
School Choral Award . Dianne An·
derson, Erika Hackemer and Don·
na Bloom received the Choir
Booster Scholarships given in
memory of Joe Goff.
"These musicians gained the
ability that will enable them to be
stronger, more confident musi·
cians and persons," concluded Director of Choirs Kurt Chalgren.

Given the opportu·
nity to serve as
president of both Quill & Scroll

Dianne Anderson learned and
lived two separate leadership
roles.
Duties as a choir president
entailed leadership on concert
nights and organization of fun·

"Both groups require a com·

Madrigal Singers for two years,
and she performed with the A

Concert, Treble choirs sing superior for WSMA Contest ratings
Starting off the year on a high
note, the Concert and Treble
choirs premiered their talents at
the 22nd Annual Christmas Concert on December 7.
The curtain opened, and the 52
voices of Concert Choir swept the
audience with " A Virgin Most
Pure," an English Traditional Carol arranged by Charles Wood .
They then spotlighted a male and
female trio of baritone David
Kexel , tenor Michael Davis, baritone Shawn Slagle and sopranos
Kirstin Powell, Kathy Yanasak and
Shelley Gill in " As Joseph Was A Walking ," an Appalachian Carol
by Joseph Wilcox Jenkins.
The Treble Clef singers tuned
up their portion of the concert
with "Rejoice, The Lord is King, "
from the Christmas Oratorio, composed by Camille Saint-Saens.
Topping off their performance,
the 76-voice girls choir opened for
the A Cappella Choir with " from
Heights of Heaven to Earth I

during which the two choirs sang
simultaneously.

choirs joined nine other Kenosha
choirs in the Annual Choral Festival. Under the direction of guest
conductor Dale Grotenhuis, the
combined choirs performed " Reconci I iation," a contemporary
Choir Anthem with speech chorus , accompanied by A Cappella
Choir member Paul Ruffolo on the
trumpet . Other pieces included
" Honor and Glory " by Johann Sebastien Bach, " Tantum Ergo, " by
Gabriel Faure and "Song of Triumph ," which was written by
Dale Grotenhuis on the occasion
of his son's death in a motorcycle
accident.
In solo performances, the Concert Choir presented "Shepherd
Me, Lord" by Gershon Kingsley,
and the Treble Clef Singers performed " Come At Dawn " by Eugene Butler.
The combined festival choirs
finished with "finale from the
Gondoliers " by Gilbert and Sullivan, accompanied by Mrs. Patri cia Black and Mrs. Linda Ball .
" Choral Festival is a good
chance for the junior high choirs
to improve their singing tech-

niques by singing with the high
school choirs, " commented Treble Clef alto Sue Pitts. Polishing
more difficult pieces, Concert and
Treble Clef Choir practiced continuously from Jan. through April
for the Wisconsin Schools Music
Association Group Contest on
April 19. Concert Choir rang up a I
ranking in Class B, and the Treble
Clef Singers earned the same in
Class A.
The 22nd Annual Spring Concert sprung into action on May 20,
1986, as Concert Choir opened
with " Shepherd Me, Lord," a contemporary Gospel piece by Gershon Kingsley. Slowing down the
pace, the mixed choir hushed the
audience with "Farewell Song " by
Johannes Brahms, featuring tenor
soloist Javier Jaramillo and baritone soloist David Kexel. Concluding their performance, the Concert
Choir harmonized to "A Lionel Richie Spectacular." With Michael
Camosy on the drums and David
Sunday on the piano, this medley
featured such songs as "Stuck On
You," " Penny Lover, " "All Night
Long" and "Running With the

Night."
"I learn a lot every time I ac·
company a group. Playing for the
choirs is different from playing for
Golden Strings or playing a solo,
,;o I have to play differently in different situations. The experience
has definitely proven to be a valu·
able one for me, " reflected piano
accompanist David Sunday.
Following close behind, the Tre·
ble Clef Singers tuned into their
performance with "Three Spanish
Ballads" by Eugene Butler,
" Come At Dawn," "Moon Song"
and "He's Gone Away, " from
Three Mountain Ballads by Ron
Nelson and ended their portion of
the concert on an up-beat with
" Elijah Rock, " a spiritual arranged
by Jester Hairston.

they've all been important to

In addition to these in-school
activities, Kexel also acted as a

Kexel.
Although singled out for solos in the Madrigal Feaste and

appearance for the trip at Fort
Meyers, Virginia , on July 8 .
After the Golden Strings ' ap·
pearance in 1983, by application
and selection at the Midwest Na·
tional Band and Orchestra Clinic ,
the Golden Strings received an in·
vitation to return in December. On
December 17, music educators
from throughout the United States
flocked to the Conrad Hilton in
Chicago for band and orchestra
performances.
" To be invited to the Conrad
Hilton is rare and is an indicator of
Golden Strings ' excellence," ex·
plained violinist Lisa Creason.
Covering the West Coast, the
Golden Strings jetted to California ,
staying form April 8· 13. The Gold·
en Strings appeared at the Music
Educators National Conference in
Anaheim , California , on April 9.

After tha t performance, the Gold·

Northern California , Hong Kong ,
Hawaii , New York and other
states.
With " Let Me Call You Sweet·
heart " and other songs, on April
10, the Golden Strings entertained
the Walt Disney Land fans for a
few hours in Carnation Plaza .
" While acts are not ordinarily
allowed to play during the Walt
Disney parade, the audience en·
cored additional numbers from
the Strings," commented cellist
Carol Biscardi .
Disney presented the Golden
Strings with the 2008th registered
painting of the 30th anniversary of
Walt Disney Land , only 4000
paintings exist. In addition to the
painting , the Golden Strings re·
ceived a rare invitation to return

For Golden Strings ' excursions,
not one candy bar, pizza , orange,
grapefruit or M&M 's needed to

ganizations and audiences paid fo
expenses for all the Golden

" The Golden Strings have neve

Helmke took his piano talent
to Douai, France, in June of
1985. At the unveiling of a
plaque that represented the tie
between the sister cities, Keno·

"Even though the language
differs between two countries,
music is universal," said
Helmke.
Besides his musical talents,
Helmke possessed a gift for

Five nights all sold out
Madrigal musicians herald feaste's tenth anniversary celebration
" The tenth anniversary celebration of the Madrigal Feaste was
the best performance of them all.
The Madrigal Singers were the
best we 've ever had, and they accomplished more work in half the
number of rehearsals . I'm very
proud of them ," said Mr. Kurt
Chalgren, director of the Madrigal
Singers.
The Madrigal Singers opened an
active season in early September,
rehearsing every Thursday evening from 6 p .m . to 9 :30 p .m . With
careful attention to articulation
and pronunciation , 26 voices
blended together weekly and on
occasional weekends to perfect
both the Feaste liturgy and performance pieces. Madrigals ranged
from joyous to melancholy, beginning the set with " In the Merry
Spring " and moving to " Weep, 0
Mine Eyes" as the show progressed. Later, the traditional " 12
Days of Christmas " and " We
Wish You a Merry Christmas "
sent carefree chuckles and sentimental smiles through the crowd .
Aside from dedicating hours of
time to the musical portion of the
Christmasse Feaste, the singers

assumed the characters. " As one
of the only sophomores in the
group, I needed a little t ime to get
acquainted with the o ther singers
and with the music itself. The
character was hard! One night I
was caught with my elbows on the
table. That's not polite even in the
20th century ," stated singer Ami
Bou terse.
Also under the direction of Mr.
Chalgren , the Lorde 's Ladyes sang
nine numbers that they rehearsed
every Thursday from 2:40 p .m . to
4 p .m . Still a relatively new group
in its second year, the Lorde 's La dyes walked the Elks Club banquet hall throughout the evening ,
stopping occasionally to voice
their holiday greetings to guests
seated close by . An addition to the
festivities , the ten female singers
performed such songs as " A
Christmas Folk Song " and " Lullaby , My Sweet Little Baby " both
solo and during other acts given
throughout the courses of the
meal.
" Comparing this year 's Feaste
to last year's Feaste, I'd have to

Madrigal performers toast Olde Englishe lifestyles
As mid·October approached,
prospective Ye Olde Christmasse
Feaste performers tuned in to 8:30
a.m. announcements for the audi·
tion dates of their respective
groups. Rehearsals then geared up
for the December 12-16 performance dates.
Juggling adviser Mr. Kurt Chalgren called the jugglers together in
late October to begin Thursday
evening rehearsals from 5-7 p.m.
During this time the jugglers put
the finishing touches on group
stunts. "A lot of my free time is
spent juggling, so I decided as a
junior that the Feaste is the thing
for me," stated senior two-year
juggler Fernando Paz.
While jugglers tossed balls,
bean bags, and various fruits back
and forth, tumblers flipped down
the Elks Club's narrow aisle between tables. November had
brought ten tumblers to the upper
gym every Monday and Friday
from 2:30 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. to

Principe commented, "Being the
only guy tumbler wasn't a big
deal. We were all doing the same
thing."
Scampering through the Feaste
hall, jesters captured as much attention with comical faces as the
tumblers did with high flying flips
and astounding aerials. Jesters rehearsed their mime of the
"Twelve Days of Christmas" with
adviser Mr. Terry Lawler. "The
most important thing we do in
preparation for the Feaste is
memorizing the lines for song introductions. Our main purpose is
to get the crowd's attention directed toward the singers," laughed
junior jester Damian Marhefka.
While the jesters' pranked for
smiles, the beefeaters stood at attention from 6: 15 p .m. until 11
p.m. and could not allow people to
reenter the room during any acts.
Senior Bob Carney explained,
"This was our first year. I liked
wearing the black hats covered
with colored bows. To stand there
took a lot of patience, but I enjoyed it. The beefeaters are a
small but important addition to

the Feaste."
Eight dueling fencers devoted
themselves to executing an old,
romantic art. Senior Julie Nice
said, "We worked with Ms.
Schultz every Tuesday until 5
p.m. As the Feaste drew closer,
we rehearsed every day. Probably
the hardest part was making all
the moves we'd rehearsed look
natural."
As fencers lunged into their
stances, pages and wenches
served a nine course meal consisting of delicacies such as cornish
game hen, smoked salmon and
green beans with almond chips.
Page and wench sign-ups enticed
non-musical students to be part of
the chosen thirty-four couples.
Once '!ssigned, Mr. Ron Slaght,
manager of the Elk's Club, instructed them.
Head page senior Mark Grapentine stressed, "I had to make sure
things were ready, and all was quiet backstage. It is really unique to
see a group of over two hundred
students work together as a team
in such a successful way. Only
the Feaste could inspire that."

Maintaining the required composure, ju·

" Participation in the Feaste
is the only chance I've had to
perform my skills for two hun·

of performing was dealing with
our mistakes. At times I felt we
should have put a lot more ef.

Language clubs rock up a feast on "fat Tuesday"
Cream puffs, flan and German

Gras celebration . Held in the cafeteria on March 3 , fifty people from
the three clubs indulged on " fat
Tuesday " with music from the different countries and a special slide
presentation given by Rafael Rosales, Bianca Mori and Henrique
DeMendonca picturing their native Venezuela and Brazil.
With Mardi Gras food , language
students thanked the faculty the
next day in accordance with
Teacher Appreciation Week.
Decorating for the holiday, the
students streamered the teacher's
lounge. " After the Mardi Gras was
over , we all flocked to the teacher 's lounge to liven the place up
w ith bright decorations," said junior Sara Neuenschwander.
Kicking off the year with a second place, Spanish club bannered
" Matamos a los gatos " in Homecoming parade competition .
Similar to Mardi Gras, a fiesta

March 5 to see a Mexican ballet
entitled " Ballet Folklorico."
Similar to Spanish club, bake
sales and Bike candy sales in October , plus $5 each , financed
French club's trip to Six Flags on
May 17.
As an extraordinire something
for the club, a former French student Bob Bistrick demonstrated
French cuisine on January 9 as he
was presently taking cooking lessons from La Petite France in Chicago.
As a combined effort, French,
Spanish and German clubs boogied up $900 at the foreign language clubs ' Halloween dance on
the Wednesday before teacher 's
convention . Draculas, Raggedy
Anns and even a Pee Wee Herman
shook their booties. From the October 23 three-way split , Spanish
club awarded a $100 scholarship
to Kari Kraus at the Honors Convocation on June 10.
Posters by German students unmasked the language clubs ' Halloween dance for the student
body . Later, as advent calendars
hit the hallway scene in the last
week of November, German students pulled in $250. With the
money profited from the calendars, German club contributed
$15 to the American Education
Week with an ad in the Kenosha

News. An additional $25 congratulated the cast of The Boy friend in
t he musical' s program .
Designed to show high school
students how they ranked nationally in German ability , a National
German Exam tested two German
students on May 18 at Nicholet
High School in Milwaukee. On a
volunteer basis, seniors Karen
Repke and Erika Hackemer participated in this highly competitive event. The test consisted of
one hour each of oral comprehension , reading comprehension and
grammar. Following that, an essay had to be written in one-half
hour in German about what life
will be like in the future.
As a result of the test , Hackemer ascended the 90th percentile
for German knowledge in the nation . In recognition , she received a
book of German landscapes and a
certificate of merit.

" I think it was really worthwhile

the motivation behind the pro·

stop to driving drunk ," said SADD
treasurer Cathy Rizzo .
Responding to Jones ' ideals,
several Key Clubbers started a
SADD program for Tremperites,
appointing Patsy Carravetta as
president. Members elected Jenni·
fer Schutz as vice-president, Robin
Pious as secretary and Cathy
Rizzo as treasurer.
SADD informed high school stu·
dents of the growing concern for
public safety , the battle against
drunk driving. SADD members
passed out pins and Life Con·
tracts Between Parent and Teen·
ager to parents at Open House on
November 21 . These contracts
stressed the need for open com·
munication regarding alcohol be·
tween parents and their teenagers .
Members also painted posters
working around the slogan
" Friends Don't Let Friends Drive

game on May 30. In addition to
SADD, support groups such as
RAFT (Recreation and Fun To·

promote their causes. All four
groups revolved around an anti·
alcohol theme . Each group carried
a banner while Western Kiwanis
representative Bob Mifflin present·

" I think it's great that Tremper
has groups like Wisconsin Lung

of what's really going on in our
society. The clubs give some stu·

" When SADD was first organized, people thought we were

Starving for hunger
Key Club donates food for city, displays system for school
From stacking up a record
three tons of corn , sugar and other
non-perishable food items and collecting $1050 for the Kenosha
Soup Kitchen to starving themselves at a 24-hour famine for
Womens ' Horizons, Key Clubbers
furnished their service to the
school and community.
" We 're starving ourselves so
others can eat" was the slogan of
the starve-fest. The famine, held in
the basement cafeteria of St.
Mary's School , fed upon the determination of the 15 students ' willpower not to eat. Clubbers
amused themselves with movies,
from The Terminator to Sixteen
Candles, basketball , volleyball ,
Trivial Pursuit and conversation
as the hours ticked by and stomachs growled. The pledges totalled $600, and the club treated
the triumphant 15 to dinner at Pizza Hut.
As a part of the year-long service project to the needy and
hungry , Key Club members spent
the month of December helping
needy families and funding the
Soup Kitchen .
The fundraising campaign began December 9 with the Key
Club annual food / barrel drive
kick-off dance. Some students

lined up at 7:30 p .m . at the West
Commons doors with cans of food
in hand , instead of the normal
$1.50 admission. New Voice
rocked the night with tunes from
Tears for Fears and Phil Collins as
Key Club racked up $250 and two
cases of food to start the accumulation .
Competition ruled the food / barrel drive as classes worked toward
having the most food collected ,
and grade levels aimed for the
most money brought into the
money barrels , with the travelling
class trophy as the ultimate prize
for the winner. Seniors dominated
the contest until the last Friday,
when the faculty retaliated with
over 12,000 points to beat the senior class by 6 ,000 points and claim
victory for the first time .
By the December 20 2A-2B assembly , $1050 and a record 6,000
pounds of food lined the auditorium stage with baskets for needy
families . Greta Hansen, director of
the Soup Kitchen , said , "It's great
that the community and the high
schools give so much ."
Key Clubbers then spent the
first day of Christmas vacation,
December 21 , delivering the food
with the help of Kiwanis Club
members. Filled with the non-per-

ishable food , clothing , bread , butter and fruit , the baskets were given to over 200 Kenosha families.
" The response was fantastic . It
was a real eye-opener to see fam ilies who are in real need," ad·
mitted Vice-President Matt Gold·
berg.
Contrasting to the 10 degree
winter delivery of baskets , Clubbers in shorts and T-shirts had
spent June 17 to 26 selling cotton
candy , ice cream and sno-cones to
hungry Cohorama spectators at
Kennedy Park . After paying for
the rented equipment and ice
cream , profits totalled almost
$3 ,000, paying off the debt the
club owed to the cross country
team and padding a bank account
for the club.
As a final reminder of the past
summer months, members spent
October 19 washing the dirt and
grime from over 200 cars at Har·
dee's on 75th Street and 39th Ave·
nue. The club raised $250 to add
to the treasury .
To allow new members to get to
know each other , the club sponsored horseback riding in Racine
on November 16. " The day gave
us a chance to get to know each
other better. We went out, and we
had fun , " said new member Mi-

After the election , Goldberg prom·

brought in $3 ,000 for a digital dis·
play sign for the Commons area
and sponsored clubbers to the
June 29·July 2 Key Club lnterna·
tional Convention in Phoenix, Ari·

Key Club focused the year on
service to the community and the
school. "The best part about Key
Club is the fact that we help oth·
ers as a service. We don 't need
pay for our work . Knowing we did
something for some one in need is
enough for us," concluded Presi·

Drama/Stage Crew

Curtain recalls cast
Drama Company actors, Stage Crew technicians peddle pizzas, plays
As the actors drilled lines and
touched make·up for the Novem·
ber 7 performance of My Three
Angels, Stage Crew members bus·
ied themselves by checking sound
levels and directing spotlights for
the play. Stage Crew and Drama
Company, through their separate
work , collectively produced two
plays, My Three Angels and Tall
Tales and True. Yet, Stage Crew
moved behind the scenes to assist
other groups in their productions .
To defray the other production
costs such as play bills and ticket
printing, 12 Drama Company
members peddled pizzas Septem·
ber 30 to October 4. The total
profit reached $70.
In October , Mr . Thomas
Amacher, radio and TV produc·
tion teacher, joined English and
Drama I and II teacher Mr. Gerald
Rogan in directing the two plays.
The first production on Novem·

ber 7, 8 and 9, My Three Angels,
cast eight veteran thespians and
introduced three new actors to the
company .
" My Three Angels was a good
experience. I spent so many more
hours working on this play than I
did in junior high school. The stag·
ing and memorizing were much
harder, but experiencing the actu·
al audience during the perfor·
mance paid off in the end," ad·
mitted new member Rich LeMay
who played Monsieur Ducotel.
With costumes borrowed from
Lakeside Players and sets con·
structed after school by Drama
and Stage Crew members, the
three November performances tal·
lied $75 which covered set and
make·up costs.
" After painting set canvasses
yellow, we added flees of brown
and green . It took five of us almost
three hours," reca lled Damian

Marhefka, who played Alfred.
Wrapping Christmas spirit in fa·
tigues and khakis, 15 Drama Com·
pany and Drama I class members
performed a Rambo·style " Twelve
Days of Christmas" at the De·
cember 20 2A·2B assembly. Aar·
on Rimkus narrated the skit,
scripted by Mr. Gerald Rogan's
seventh hour Drama I.
Departing from the typical on·
stage scene on February 7 and 8,
nine Drama company members
performed a set of five skits, col·
lectively titled Tall Tales and
True. "The group was more im·
provisational. At each perfor·
mance, we played the scenes as a
response to each other's actions,"
relayed member Pat Denure. The
play pulled in $100, which exceed·
ed the costs of Tall Tales and True
sets.

up the l.D. processing in the upper
gym on May 20.
"Although it's often a thankless
job, I enjoy seeing everything fall
into place during a performance,"
commented Stage Crew Chief
John Martin.
Drama Company and Stage
Crew complemented a spectrum
of activities, each adding their
own know·how to theatre perfor·
ma nee.

umor underscores actor
"I think one of the
reasons I enjoy act·
ing is because I like being differ·
ent. Anyone can be Joe Aver·
age. I'm different, and I stand
out," admitted Tyson Wilda,
co-president of Drama Com·
pany.
Wilda, a three-year veteran
of high school plays, began his
acting career in grade school.
Upon reaching high school,
plays started offering more op·
portunities for Wilda. He acted
in the children's' plays, The
Red Shoes and Tall Tales and
True during his junior and sen·
ior years, as well as a Keystone
Cop in The Boyfriend. He
played many unique parts. As
Wilda explained, "I enjoy play·
ing a normal person with one
quality that stands out. I don't

think anyone's really looking
for an actor who excels in psy·
chotic behavior," stated Wilda.
The club's lack of time hin·
dered many of the club's plans.
They selected another play to
perform after March's The Boy·
friend, but the time slipped by
too quickly.
Although acting captured a
place in Wilda's high school
life, other activities ate away at
his time. Joining Tempest at
the semester, Wilda composed
movie and record reviews as
well as editorials for the paper.
Wilda also earned a place in the
National Merit Scholarship fin·
als with PSA T scores at the
99th percentile.
As for Wilda's plans concerning his future, he stated his vo·
cation was to involve fictiona·
lized writing. "Acting is fun,
but I can't make a life out of it,"
revealed Wilda.
For students interested in
drama, Wilda suggested a "Go
For It" attitude. "Everyone has
a unique talent. If that talent
can be brought out and ma·
tured, an actor has been
formed," concluded Wilda .

New Voice and Tempest new spaper opened the lines of commu nication to all Tremperites .
After recei ving a Quill and
Scroll first place and a Kettle Moraine Press Association first place
for stories in the 1984-85 Tem pest, the new staff, headed by coeditors Katie Thomey and Mike
Stevens, worked to regenerate an
award-winning paper.
A subscription sale, normally
scheduled during the last week of
October, was postponed due to
the absence of Tempest Adviser
Frank Falduto in August , who was
vacationing in Germany .
Free copies of the October 20
issue, distributed by staffers , encouraged students to subscribe to
the paper. Over 500 students responded by taking the free papers
and , according to Stevens, buying
" enough subscriptions to get by ."
Subscriptions totalled 90, and circulation tallied 175 monthly.
" Getting by " meant affording
the $350 cost for each issue of the
Tempest printed at the Kenosha
Labor Paper office. Advertisements from local businesses such
as Burger King and A -1 Driving
School also added to the funds .
These businesses paid from $18
to $300 for an ad in the Tempest.
One staff member, Jane Pitts,
used her newspaper experience in
the Youth News Editor position at
the Kenosha News . The position

traveled among the area high
schools , and , w ith adviser Falduto 's recommendation , George Sovitsky , author of the News ' " Let
George Do It," awarded Pitts the
position. She earned $35 per week
for her column. Pitts also found
that the interviewing and writing
she did with the Tempest helped
her at the News . She stated , " The
work I do helps me to deal with
people."
While Tempest concentrated on
words in journalistic writing during the day , New Voice Radio spun
discs that combined words with
music on Friday nights.
Although two DJs, Bob Carney

and language development .
Schuetz, vice president of New
Voice , relayed , " I'm glad we have
Mr. Amacher here. He knows
what he's doing."
New Vojce supplied the music
for all of Tremper 's dances and for
some at Lance, Lincoln and Washington junior high schools . Their
fee of $40 covered the many expenses New Voice incurred . " This
year, we bought a stand for our
equipment , and we plan on buying

a new turntable, some patch
cords , a new sound m ixer , and , of
course, records ," said President
Bob Carney .
Those who came to the dances
came not only for the music but
for some of the New Voice antics
that listeners enjoyed. " They 're
nuts. They dance around , singing
and having fun ," stated junior
Mark Paszek . Junior Bob Wight ,
another New Voice disc jockey,
added , " People like to see more
than two DJs playing records at
Friday night dances. Everyone in
New Voice does it to have fun and
provide entertainment. " Besides
Wight, DJs senior Dave Rivera
and Norb Kramer spun the records . The New Voice style
ranged from New Wave to Top 40
to Hard Rock with songs like Otis
Day and the Knights ' " Shout " and
the Romantics ' " What I Like
About You ."
Amacher , on his musical group,
said , " They ' re a great group. They
more or less run the whole thing
by themselves . If something has
to be done, I know I can count on
them to do it. They all could have
a good future in radio ."
In the communication realm ,
Tempest and New Voice provided
all students with news, information and entertainment. Those students participating learned about
a communications field in a practical setting.

-------------- DECA/FBLA

Initials impact profits
DECA, FBLA add up to business openings for future employees
The initial impact of Distribu·
tive Education Clubs of America
and Future Business Leaders of
America opened community
doors to marketing and business
students giving them an opportu·
nity to use their newly acqu ired
skills in restaurants, banks, bak·
eries and retail stores. The clubs
also developed leadership skills
and entered members into busi·
ness competition .
Meeting September 12 at
Southport Beach, over 50 DECA
members gathered for a day of
softball and friendship. The gath·
ering sparked team spirit. Boast·
ing the largest club membership
of 85, DECA sent 30 members to
in Mini District Competition at
Bradford High School. The testing
consisted of two oral events and
one written. Categories included
calming an irritated customer with
a bad credit card , interviewing and
marketing.
Junior Dan Kaley placed first
for interview, and senior Heidi
Steinbach followed him with sec·
ond place. Steinbach placed first
for calming down the irritated cus·
tomer while senior President Mi·
chelle Wingate took second . Com·
prehensive marketing tallied an·
other first for Steinbach and Win·
gate with second.
On November 15· 17, ten DECA
members joined over 1700 other
DECA members from different
North Central Chapters to partici·
pate in the Central Region Leader·
ship Conference in Milwaukee.
Members attended workshops and
listened to Mr. William Sanders, a
motivation speaker, and Mr. Doug
Stanich, owner of Stanich Reality ,
about leadership.
In February, members designed
posters for halls and a supplement
issued in the February 9 Kenosha
News to promote National DECA
month.
DECA members used market·

DECA / FBLA

ing skills to peddle M&M 's and
Christmas ornaments to total
$2,850. A thrift sale on September
28 boosted total profits to $3 , 150.
The profits, divided equally ,
helped pay for leadership labs and
workshops.
DECA honored j unior Lisa Carl·
sen with the opportunity to run as
district vice president. " It took a
lot of time and effort, but I was
glad I won ," concluded Carlsen.
Similar to DECA, an outgrowth
of Ms. Mary Ann Searle 's Market·
ing I and II, FBLA counted 25
members from business classes
like Word Processing and CO·OP
taught by club adviser Miss Caroli·
na Aiello .
FBLA also offered information
to students about business
through leadership labs and work·
shops .
On November 15· 17, 11 mem·
bers traveled to St. Louis for the
North Central Leadership Confer·
ence. Members attended work·
shops and also heard Mr. William
Sanders.
Helping out at Open House on
November 21 , FBLA members
demonstrated typewriters and
computers for parents.
On February 15, FBLA entered
their first Regional Leadership
Conference. Seniors Jody Jensen

and Den ise Jensen arranged the
chapters exh ibit with the theme
" Networking your future." It cap·
tured third place. In job interview
competion senior Pam Hagen
placed second . Junior Shanon
Walwrath also placed fourth in
clerical typing . As one of the top
five finishers of Regional Leader·
ship Conference, they traveled on
to State Leadership Conference.
Candy sales in October and a
mirror gift sale in November built
up student sums in separate ac·
counts . Accounts helped students

pay for leadership labs and work·
shops.
FBLA also took time out for so·
cial events. Active in Homecoming on October 12, FBLA marched
a banner telling Trojans to " Boo·
t'em back to Bay View ."
FBLA also shared a day ventur·
ing down to Chicago's Watertower
Place on December 8.
Participating in either of these
clubs bettered job opportunities.

Sub Deb/Quad School

Dances wind up unity
Sub Deb, Quad School flings spur seasonal spirit
Dancing to the band "Full
House," 156 couples gathered in
the Eagles Club Ballroom for Sub
Deb's " Frosted Fantasy" formal
on December 21 from 8 p .m . to 11
p.m . Sub Deb fundraisers and ac·
tivities focused on preparing finan·
cially and physically for the for·
mat. Later, spring fever set in as
Tremperites ditched their winter
formals for spring casuals worn to
the Quad School Dance on April
12. Quad School, too, centered its
activities around a big dance.
Tumbling toward a group idenfr
ty, 12 of 30 gaily clad Sub Deb
members led the Homecoming pa·
rade down 22nd Avenue on Octo·
ber 12 at noon. Tossing candy to
parade watchers and just plain
clowning around spurred waves
and cheers from the crowd. Just
prior to kickoff at Anderson Field,
these jesters released 200 helium·
filled balloons that colored the sky
with red and blue spirit.
Sub Deb also paraded their ban·
ner "Your 9 lives are up."
Just one day later, the girls held
their traditional progressive dinner
followed by the induction of 12
new members. Junior Brenda
Payne served appetizers and sal·
ad. Senior Deanna Llanas hosted
the group for an authentic Mexi·
can meal. Then, President Kris
Long treated the girls to dessert
and the formal induction at her
home.
"At the initiation, we were told
the story of how Sub Deb came
about, repeated the membership
pledge, and then we blew out our
candles to seal our commit·
ments," commented inductee
Laura Adams.
Members gathered food for a
needy family at Thanksgiving.
Each member donated 50 cents
plus canned food items.
From November 4· 10, Sub Deb
members tallied Bike's candy bar
sales at $720 profit. Bake sales
contributed $62. The Sub Deb hop
70

Sub Deb/Quad School

socked another $348 into the
funds for the formal. Fund-raiser
totaled $1130.
Although Sub Deb members
faced problems organizing the
winter formal dance, they profited
$220 after spending $1340 of
$1560 collected from ticket sales.
" It was great! We went to all that
work to raise the money for the
formal, and then we didn 't even
need it because the dance was
such a success," stated Treasurer
Tami Ironside.
The original theme "A Crystal
Night" brought in several com·
plaints that the theme was inap·
propriate because of its reference
to the breakage of windows in
Temples in Germany during World
War II. Principal Richard Regner
told Long he encouraged the
group to review the theme selec·
tion, but the girls expressed their
own concern , once alerted to the
negative reference. "Frosted Fan·
tasy," the second choice, snowed
the student body with posters and
announcements daily.
Below·freezing temperatures
the week of December 17 caused
glue to freeze and hindered deco·
rating for the dance. The girls
dragged in space heaters to warm
the room and to defrost the glue.
"Friday we decorated from 5 p.m.
to 9 p.m . Saturday morning we
started at 9 a.m. and worked until
3 p.m. that afternoon. Even then,
the decorations still weren't done
yet, so Tami Ironside and Shawn
Wolf stayed later to finish. I was
nervous about it not being com·
pleted, so I asked my date to stop
on our way to dinner. Fortunately,
everything went beautifully," re·
called Long .
In February after the Sub Deb
formal, the girls spent afternoons
with the club's adopted grandpar·
en ts.
"Adopting grandparents from
Sheridan Nursing home was really
exciting. I think it was a great idea

to adopt them because it shows
that teenagers today do care
about others," claimed Secretary
Michelle Cairo.
June 1 closed out the year with
a banquet at the Spaghetti Sta·
tion. " The banquet was a time for
all of us to reflect . From the
Homecoming parade to the for·
mal , it was all definitely worth it! "
voiced member Brenda Payne.
Quad School's efforts toward
uniting schools also culminated in
a major event, one the schools
could share.
Student Congress elected sen·
iors Simone Sargent and Esther
Marianyi, juniors Sara Neuensch·
wander and Trish Jimenez, and
sophomore Peppur Chambers to
the Quad School Committee.
"At a Quad School meeting, we
talk about what went on at each
school on exchange days and any
problems that occurred. The main
problems involved people being
absent on exchange days without
notifying anyone. We also planned
the next exchange day and the
Quad School Dance," commented
Jimenez
Quad School exchanges took
place at Tremper, Bradford, Reu·
ther and St. Joseph's on De·
cember 18, February 13 and April

10. The exchangee attended

The first exchange day was for
Quad School Committee mem·
bers only.
"I went to St. Joe's on February
13 and really had a good exper·
ience. The biggest difference I no·
ticed between Tremper and St.
Joe's was the smaller number of
people there, "
explained
Neuenschwander.
Each year the location of the
dance changed among the
schools. On April 12 students
from all four high schools flocked
to St. Joe's. "The dance was held
in the lobby. There were too many
people for that small space, which
caused it to be unbelievably hot. I
would have thought that for such
a large dance they would have had
the dance in the gym to accommo·
date all the people. Aside from the
heat, it was a lot of fun," pointed
out junior Linda Richer.
Both Sub Deb and Quad School
emphasized joining teens together
as each club gathered students for
a big·time dance.

Following in her sister's footsteps, senior Kris Long joined Sub Deb as
a sophomore and went on to
become president as a senior.
"As a junior I was nominated
for president, and I had to give

I'd be a good president. I spoke
about the fun, but I pointed out
the challenge as well," remembered Long.

stretched from September
through May and resulted in
friendships for Long.
"The thing I like best about
being president of Sub Deb is
that I like being a leader. When
we did service projects, like delivering food baskets to the
needy, it was neat to see the
look on the people's faces and
to know you've made a differ·
ence," stressed Long.
Feeding the hungry and visit·

list of favorite Sub Deb activi·
ties . "The grandparents we
adopted are really special to
me. We go visit them every
week . I even went to see them
before I went to Prom. My date
and I stopped and gave them a
promenade," explained Long.
"Sub Deb has been tons of
fun. Mrs. Walkowski and Mrs.
Mattioli have been a great help
to me and the other officers,"
concluded Long.

Trojanettes/Cheerleaders

Spirit leads to victory
Spirit boosters update mounts and routines to spark big 0 awards
As the 1985 school year closed
and various clubs packed away
activities, fundraisers and mem·
bership rosters for the following
year's use, the Trojanette and
cheerleader captains began a new
year by organizing clinics, tryout
dates and criteria for the squads
of 1986. These squads would earn
originality and outstanding
awards. Prospective Trojanettes
labored over dancing Jack Wag·
ner's "Premonition" and possible
cheerleading candidates found
themselves brushing up on the
school song, learning two floor
cheers and perfecting three
chants.
Tryouts for the 1986 Trojan·
ettes rippled through the week of
March 18·22 with final dance auditions taking place on March 22.
Seventeen girts .kicked off the new
season with an M&M's candy sale,
using the $600 of proceeds toward
individual camp fees.
The Trojanettes attended sum·
mer camp sponsored by the Bad·
gerettes at UW·Whitewater, July
15· 18. The camp schedule re· •
quired the girls to learn two rou·
tines a day and perform one at
night for a rating by judges. The
Trojanettes won a recognition
award for their originality routine
and a first and second place in
nightly ratings.
"To be selected for outstanding
originality out of 16 very talented

squads from all over Wisconsin
was such an honor. We literally
screamed for joy," remembered
Trojanette Captain Simone Sar·
gent.
Both before and after camp,
practices occupied two days a
week. The squad drilled and re·
hearsed at both Tremper and
Southport Park at 8 a.m. each
morning.
As September 3 rolled around,
the club snapped to attention,
leaving behind the hot summer
drills and jumping into fund·rais·
ers and football games.
Fund-raisers ranged from Bike's
candy bars to suntan oil. Profits
went into the purchase of stylish
pleated-shoulder sweaters in mid·
October, which cost approximate·
ly $50 per item.
The Trojanettes' performances
at both varsity football and bas·
ketball games ended with the final
home basketball game on Febru·
ary 21 and the Spring Sports As·
sembly on April 10. After perfect·
ing six dances at meetings held
every Tuesday and Thursday
afternoon and bowing for a total of
16 appearances, the Trojanettes
closed with a banquet for them·
selves on March 26 at Casa Capri.
"Although we didn't enter the
State Fair Competition or the Win·
ter Pom·pon Clinic and Competi·
tion, I think we really pulled to·
gether and made performances

worthwhile. The leadership was
important. Our adviser Mrs. Lich·
tenheld organized our fund-raisers
and made endless arrangements
for camp. Our captain and co·cap·
tain, Simone Sargent and Lana
Rasmussen, and I made up all the
routines we did," stated three-year
member Julie Wolf.
The varsity and sophomore
football cheerleaders, too, spent a
hectic summer reviewing old
cheers and composing new ones.
Captain Kari Schulz directed prac·
tices at Jeffery School once a
week. Those who made the squad
in April of 1985 attended the Dy·
namic Cheerleader Association
Cheerleading Camp at Marquette
University from July 22·25. They .
learned techniques in promoting
school spirit such as separating
cheering sections to rival individ·
ual class spirit. They also placed
first for outstanding cheerleading
skills.
Three car washes and a pizza
sale also took place over the sum·
mer months which, with the prof·
its of various bake sales during
the first part of the year and the
Cheerleader Sock Hop on Novem·
ber 22, boosted the treasury total
to over $1000. This money paid
for new cream-colored skirts and
sweaters in late November and

Captain Heather Johnson, were
also active in these endeavors.
"The skirts and sweaters we
had were so old. Getting new ones
was great initiative for both the
varsity and sophomore squads to
really raise as much money as
they could," said Schulz.
The varsity and sophomore bas·
ketball cheerleaders started early
with a mandatory two weeks of
practice during August. The actu·
al season, however, did not tip off
until the first varsity basketball
game on November 23.
Both sets of cheerleaders dur·
ing their respective sports encour·
aged the players with locker signs,
sweet treats of cookies and candy
and "best of luck" notes. On Par·
ents' Nite, February 21, Basket·
ball cheerleaders showed their
support once more by making
name tags for the parents of the
players.
The football and basketball
cheerleading squads attended the
end·of·the·year banquets of the
athletes they supported but cele·
brated privately at Captain's
Steak Joynt on November 18 and
March 14, respectively.
"It was fun doing little things
for the guys. I think it made them
feel special to know that someone
really cared," said varsity football
and basketball cheerleader Helen
Stankus.

"I cheered for the
football games at
Lance Junior High, and that
made me realize that I liked
cheering for basketball games
more. At basketball games you
can see the whole game, hear
the crowd better, and feel the
crowd 's excitement. Of course,
it is warmer indoors," laughed
senior basketball cheerleader
Amy Wells.
"After one year of cheering
at Lance I thought it was a lot
of fun, so I tried out for the
sophomore basketball cheer·
leading squad. As a sopho·
more, it really made me feel at
home," remembered Wells.
Wells continued to cheer for
the varsity basketball team dur·
ing both her junior and senior
years.
After the Trojan squad faced

the Case Eagles, Wells recalled
the tight 54·50 victory. " It
seemed like no matter how
loud we cheered or how much
spirit we put forth, the guys
didn 't play up to their poten·
tial."
A later game against the Hor·
lick Rebels matched the Case
game for tension .
"The second time we played
Horlick was the best game I re·
member cheering for. We want·
ed to beat them so bad, and we
did! In both games, the situa·
tions were full of tension for the
players, the crowds, and for the
cheerleaders ," stated Wells.
Wells participated in Nation·
al Honor Socie.ty; sophomore,
junior, and senior class adviso·
ry boards; Spirit Board; and the
volleyball team for three years.
During her senior year, Wells
led the volleyball team as cap·
ta in.
Although Wells had not pin·
pointed where she wanted to
study after graduation, she
planned a major in math .
Wells concluded, " The part
of cheerleading I find the most
rewarding is helping to pro·
mote Trojan spirit. It shows
we're all a part of Tremper and
want to encourage our teams
to be the best!"

Op for the count
Congress pumps up spirit with Blood Drive and spirit weeks
Chocolate·cream pie smeared
the class presidents senior Ann
Colter, j unior Stacey Stanich and
sophomore Gina Boyd who all
pumped up class spirit and enthu·
siasm for Student Congress ' Blood
Drive kick·off dance on February
8 . Representing male classmates,
senior Dave Gallo, junior Dan Gur·
gol and sophomore Brian Holland
also scarfed down the messy des·
sert. Boyd and Gallo walked away
with the first place points.
Energy from the " Shout" dance
flowed from Student Congress
into the Blood Drive over the next
five weeks .
On March 13 and 14, Student
Congress tapped 1140 donors to
break the national record set by
Tremper in 1981 with 786 pints.
Student Congress also promot·
ed school spirit on October 11 at
the Homecoming pep rally and
sock·hop. Students jumped into
tricycle races, 4·1egged races and
sack races to tally up points for
their individual classes in the Spir·
it Bell competition . Later that
night Tremperites twisted and
shouted to such songs as Simple
Minds ' " Alive and Kicking " and
Ready For the World 's " Oh She·

lia. "
While Trojans " burned " Bay
View with a 42·8 victory the next
day , Congress members powered
their own " purr·fect " plans for the
parade and the dance.
At an Aug . 11 picnic in Petrify·
ing Springs Park , Student Con·
gress discussed goals and upcom·
ing projects, and the members vot·
ed for standing comm ittee chair·
persons .
Congress kicked off the school
year on September 6 with the tra·
ditional Welcome Back Sock·Hop.
" The first dance of the year is al·
ways a blast. There must have
been 800 kids dancing shoulder to
shoulder," claimed junior Dave
Neumann.
To rev up school spirit, Con·
gress sponsored spirit weeks
throughout the year. Each day
designated a different theme, from
Hawaiian day to twin day to 50's
day. During 4·B and 5·B lunch
hour shifts , students from each
class teamed up for spirit games
such as 4·1egged races, tug·of·wars
and egg tosses.
At the suggestion of Principal
Richard Regner and Student Ac·
tivities Director Gary Paulauskas ,

the Student Congress spirit bell
reappeared at the beginning of the
1985·86 school yea r. Screamers
competed at sports assemblies, at
the Homecoming pep assembly
and the Blood Drive kick·off dance
to determine which class had the
most spirit and earned the bell .
The seniors proved their " Senior
'86 Spirit " by capturing the bell at
five of the six assemblies , relin·
quishing it only once to the ju·
niors.
Due to Congress's concern for
safe holidays, members distribut·
ed Students Against Drunk Driv·
ing flyers to various shopping cen·
ters and businesses on December
17. During their lunch hours, the
members drove out to such places
as Villa Capri Plaza, the downtown
Kenosha area and Simmons Plaza
to leave flyers on car windshields .
In efforts to improve inter·
school communication , Student
Congress sponsored several Stu·
dent Exchange days as well. Stu·
dents from Bradford , St. Joe·
seph 's and Reuther spent the day
at Tremper attending classes with
an assigned student, and Tremper
students in turn visited these
schools.

Congress also worked to i
prove conditions both inside an
outside of school. During the la
week of March, the Internal co
mittee surveyed students for opi
ions on the food served in the caf
teria . Although the response wa
generally good, many student
had suggestions for differen
items to be sold in the Ala Cart
line, and several complained tha
the lunch lines closed too soon
the end of fifth hour.
" Students were constant!
complaining about inadequat
food , and we felt that somethin
should be done," added junio
Margo Vite, co·chair of the Intern
committee.

Tam i Ironside, the national record-breaking Blood Drive highlighted her sen ior year .
Ironside was one of the first
persons to know t hat the 786
pints were attainable one half
hour before it was announced .
" It was so hard to keep the
number to myself. I wanted to
scream it so everyone could
hear! " recalled Ironside.
" In addition to the dance proceeds, we spent more money
than Congress had in the past
on the total campaign , but it
was well worth it when we
broke our own record ," commented Ironside.
Ironside's personal contribution surfaced during the Blood
Drive. She came up with the
idea to make name tags in the
shapes of blood drops for Congress members to wear at the
Blood Drive. " It helped the
community to feel comfortable
at the Drive," sa id Ironside.
While pumping up the 36
Congress members to drop in a
minimum of 35 donors each ,
Ironside herself collected 45.

directs Homecoming activities.

On March 14, the second
day of the Blood Drive, Channel 4 News interviewed Ironside
as a spokesperson for Student
Congress.
Although also serving as Sub
Deb Treasurer and Wisconsin
Lung demonstrator, Ironside
committed most of her time to
Congress president. Ironside
said , " Sometimes I am so busy
directing and instructing all of
the committees that I don 't get
to personally interact with each
member. "
Ironside superv ised all committee work , presided over general sessions and regularly met
with president Mr. Richard
Regner two times each month
at the Executive Board meetings.
During Homecoming, Ironside hand-wrote each of the six
committee chairpersons a
short note praising her work
and offering help. This k ind of
encouragement typified Ironside 's personal commitment to
the presidency .
Ironside attributed her presidential style to two things .
First, the one week long summer camp , sponsored by Wisconsin Association of Student
Councils at University of Wisconsin Stevens Point, furth ered her education on the importance of leadership, responsibility , promptness and accuracy . Second, Ironside's personal philosophy supported her
efforts. " I feel the key to success is persistence, even if it is
almost to the point of nagging ," chuckled Ironside.

Regular change
Math, science, business revamp course levels, course length
Concerned with 1,721 Tremperites , business, science and math departments charted
new courses in response to the Board of Education 's 17-credit graduation requirement .
In February of 1985 when students opened
curriculum tabloids for the 1985-1986 school
year, they noted two new math courses. The
addition of Applied Math Basic expanded the
department's ability to meet the needs of all
students. Those students who wanted the experience of a pre-calculus course but did not
feel comfortable in an honors class enrolled in
Math Analysis Regular.
" Math Analysis Regular has really given
me a solid algebraic ground so I can feel comfortable in higher math classes, " commented
senior Bruce Sturman.
"Our most important continuing feature is
to offer the kind of math that fills the needs of
all students," emphasized department chairperson Mr. Richard Darula. He also pointed
out that about 85 percent of the student body
enrolled in a math course first semester.
Beginning with the graduating class of

1988, the Board of Education required students to attain at least two math credits. All
computer classes became elective courses
and , thus, did not count as math credits .
Moreover, sophomores who opted not to take
Consumer Education satisfied that requirement with either one year of Math for Daily
Living or one year of Marketing.

' ' The fact that there are six
hours of Math Analysis Regular
points out its success. ' '
senior Ingrid Hannes
New graduation requirements also demanded that 1988 graduates chalk up one-and-ahalf credits of science. Sophomore Richard
LeMay anticipated, " I may have to take a
science class during summer school in order
to pick up that extra one-half credit to fulfill
my graduation requirements. "

The annexation of Chemistry Regular,
Physics Regular and Environmental Biology
Basic to the science department zeroed in on
students who wanted to continue in science,
but at a pace suited to personal academic
needs. "I had always wanted to take a Physics
class , but knew I wouldn 't be able to handle
the pace in an honors class." Physics Regular
was such a relief to me! " said senior Dave
Thiele .
The business department keyed into
change by rescheduling Keyboarding , Typing
Application , Typing Production and Word
Processing I from full year to semester
courses . The department revised the content
of each course with the acquisition of new
texts. Speed and accuracy procedures outlined in Cortez Peters Technique developed
students ' individual typing techniques .
Updating content and renaming courses
characterized changes at honors, regular and
basic levels in business , science and math.

Windows heat up
Borrowed 2.8 million installs savings
" When I came to school to have my senior
picture taken in August, I couldn't believe the
windows . My only question is why, " re·
marked senior Megan Rockwell.
As the window energy project reached
completion in August of 1985, it proposed
questions similar to Rockwell's. Expected to
conserve energy from 153 to 203 more per
year than other years, the energy project to·
taled $141,477. Borrowing $2,800,000 from

' ' In summer school, windows

junior Amy Riese
can State Bank paid not only for Tremper, but
for the entire school district. This money al·
lowed the Kenosha Department of Facility
Services to install a window 3 1/8 inches in
thickness and made of a dry wall substance
with a vinyl surface.
To calculate the savings, the KDFS gath·
ered energy consumption data by measuring
the amount of gas consumed per degree day
prior to and after the installment of the eco·
nomical windows. However, savings could
not be determined until winter heating bills
were compared to past year's expenses.

Different attitudes about the school's new
look lingered in hallways and classrooms.
Both students and teachers alike discovered
positive and negative aspects concerning the
windows.
Instead of opening sideways, the windows
opened up allowing hornets, wasps, and other
flying insects to zoom into classrooms. 'Tm
waiting for screens for the windows so the
kids are not disturbed by the bees," said Miss
Kay Krause, a psychology teacher whose east
wing classroom is on the second floor.
Other staff members had a positive outlook
on the windows in their classes. "The class·
room seems much warmer than before,"
noted Mrs. Marilyn Jensen, aid for the Doi·
phin program.
The windows affected students in different
ways. "It seems to be darker in the class·
room; there is not much sunshine coming
through," complained senior Tina Ambrosini.
Besides looking better, both students and
teachers agreed that the windows bettered
the old windows because they could not slam
shut, thus disturbing classroom activities.
Contrasting with the classroom windows,
student and teacher reactions opposed the
Commons windows. Most students chatting
in the Commons felt uncomfortable. "When
I'm standing with my friends in the Com·
mons, it feels so cramped as if we are in a
prison," concluded junior Tom Zoerner.

What made the application for student
loans a cumbersome responsibility? With so
many loans available , which loan would reap
the most benefits? Which social class had the
greatest probability for receiving a student
loan? Seeking answers to these questions
sometimes posed a difficult task for high
school students.
The first step a borrower must take in applying for a student loan was to mail off a

toward college support. Next, this informa·
tion was mailed to the college designated by
the student, which investigated the report to a
greater extent. Last of all , the school decided
on the amount of aid offered and notified the
student.
Which loan should an eligible student re·
quest? Dr. Mary Scharmach , guidance coun·
selor, said , " I strongly back the Guaranteed
Student Loan because the government in·
sures student repayment . This makes it ea·
sier to borrow the fees for a college educa·
tion. "
First, the GSL allowed a student to borrow
up to $2,500 per year with an interest rate of
8 percent to 9 percent. Secondly , most col·
leges , universities, vocational ·technical
school , and some correspondence schools
qualified under the GSL program . Lastly , the
repayment program did not begin until six
months after a student graduated form col·

Stench er amps teens' style
In spite of cafeteria, dancers, attendance surprisingly up
The stench of sweat, the throbbing echo of
Motley Crue 's " Smokin ' In The Boys Room ,"
and the intensely muggy air congested the
cafeteria during a traditional Friday night
sock-hop. Although many students voiced
opinions of disgust and distaste, reluctant
teens agreed that sock-hops in the cafeteria
danced circles around no dances at all.
" Dances were 100% better in the gym , but I
won't pout if they ' re in the cafeteria," said
junior Julie Bonaretti.
Of the polled 180 sophomores, juniors and
seniors in basic , regular and honors level
classes, only 19 percent complained about
the dances in the cafeteria . A mere 7 percent
preferred to rock in Cafeteria 144, while a
solid 29 percent chose to remain neutral. " I
just like getting together with my friends and
dancing. It doesn't really matter to me where
dances are held as long as there's music,"
confirmed senior Pam Konz.
Students had many different complaints as
to why they did not like this new place to
dance. A burning 85 percent of the seniors
found the sauna-like cafeteria a bit too toasty.

Cafeteria dances

Sixty-five percent of the juniors disliked bodypacking in the overcrowded cafeteria . " It's
hard to dance in the cafeteria when everyone
is constantly stepping on your feet more than
you do," giggled junior Justine Loney .
When asked if the switch from the gym to
the cafeteria affected their going to the
dances, 39 percent of the boogiers admitted

' ' Dances in the cafeteria are
definitely better than having no
dances at all. ' '
junior John Steinbrink
that no, they attended as often as they had in
the past. Thirty-four percent pointed out that
they did not go to dances anyway , although
another 29 percent did attest that they attended less often because of the change. "I used
to be excited on Monday when I knew there
would be a dance on Friday, but now I really
don't care, " commented junior Kristine Rhey,
with a shrug.

In response to why they thought the dances
had to be held in the cafeteria , 42 percent of
the juniors recognized the reason , the scuffed·
up gym floor. Sixty-seven percent of the inex·
perienced sophomores confessed that they
had no idea, while 40 percent of the seniors,
too, recognized the concern for the gym floor.
In contrast, 48 percent of the seniors claimed
not to have any idea .
Principal Richard Regner assured , " This
procedure is not yet cast in concrete. We are
still experimenting with it, and we will defi·
nitely take the students ' opinions into consid·
eration ." He also indicated that, besides the
gym floor being scuffed-up, dances in the
cafeteria were also easier to supervise. "Sur·
prisingly enough, more people have attended
the dances so far this year than they did last
year. It could have nothing to do with the
dances being in the cafeteria, but I like to
think it does," chuckled Mr. Regner.

Leechin' rides
Carless teens bum dollar free rides
Red noses and chattering teeth bared the
fact that some students found two feet instead of the typical set of wheels as their
mode of transportation to school. As pedestrians dared Snap-on Drive or 85th Street, they
received no sympathy as fellow classmates
and adults , rushing to school or work,
splashed mud or whizzed by. "Walking is
good cardiovascular exercise," laughed junior
Scott Pecha, "but it also gives me sweaty
feet."

' ' My Pacer gets me to school,
but my two feet are there if I
absolutely need them. 99
senior Pam Hagen
The less courageous withstood embarrassment and hitched a ride with Mom or Dad.
The snickers and giggles slightly reddened
their faces as Mom hollered, "Be good! Have a
nice day!" What was a little side-trip on the
way to work? "Really, the only bad part about
getting a ride from my parents is that I get to
school so late!" complained junior Heidi lmpola.
On 85th Street and in the teachers' parking
lot before school and after school, Jelco buses and city buses dutifully dropped off and
picked up carless county and city dwellers.
Relying on the bus driver to transport them to
school through rain, or even snow, every day
on time, students learned that not even a bus

driver can be perfect as the yellow bus turned
onto 85th Street at 7:29 a.m. "I don't mind
riding the bus because then I have time to do
the homework I missed the night before,"
noted sophomore Richard LeMay .
"I like to drive to school," junior Michelle
Zatko expressed,"because then I can go out
to lunch and I can go home when 1 want to. 1
don 't have to go when everyone else wants
to." Driving was the most convenient means
of getting to and from school. With stress
about getting a ride to school relieved, driving
students veered their minds to thoughts of
filling the gas tank .
The popular habit of bumming rides from
buddies enabled many students to avoid calloused feet. Although many teenagers drove,
it remained hard to find someone who did not
already haul twelve leeches around in his or
her car or did not charge outrageous prices
for gas money.
Sometimes a best friend volunteered a ride
for a carless friend. "When 1 get a ride with
my best friend, I can get up late in the morning and take my time getting ready for school.
Sometimes we even stop to get something to
eat at McDonald's," explained senior Megan
Rockwell.
"Even though I walk, I think I'm lucky because I never have to worry about a flat tire,
hitchhikers, gas money or insurance money,
but I'm still counting on a mild winter," concluded sophomore Joshua Downs.
While leaving for early dismissal at 1:30 p.m., seniors

Seventeen stack up new courses
Affecting 1985-86 sophomores , the increase of credits and graduation requirements
required students , grades nine through
twelve, to successfully complete twenty-three
credits. With these additional responsibilities
placed on teens, new classes relieved some of
the burden. " I am glad that Physics Regular
was offered. I am sure that a regular level
physics would be a relief with my other honors courses, " expressed junior Judy Wynstra .
Educators decided to provide alternative

courses that reached the various intellectual
and maturity levels ranging among the high
school students. "The Physics · and Chemistry-Regular courses replaced Chemistry-Physics Survey. The goal of these new additions is
to help the regular level student fulfill the two
and one-half science graduation assignment
by working in a slower pace than honors, "
commented physics teacher Mr. David Tuttle.
Also offered to fill the requirement gap,
Music Listener's Survey allowed students
without any previous musical experience to
partake in a musically-oriented class. Geared
towards developing an overall comprehension

of music, studies ranged from music vocabulary and evaluation to the origin and evolution
of 20th century music.
While sophomores, juniors, and seniors
could select Music Listener's Survey, Semantics Honors was offered to seniors only. However , at least one junior managed to sneak in ,
for she chose to go abroad during her senior
year . "At times this class goes against almost
everything I've ever learned . Now I look at
language from a totally different perspective," explained junior Angela Herman.
For juniors, Composition 11 Honors devel·
oped skills for Composition for College. "We
felt juniors didn 't have the academic maturity
and/or skill to handle Comp. for College, in·
tended to be a college preparation course with
high pressure," explained Department Chair·
man and Composition 11 teacher Mr. John
Schmidt. Composition 11 Honors concentrated on the writing process and mechanics
whereas Composition for College directed it·
self toward correlating composition with liter·
ary analysis and writing an advanced re·
search paper.
As the senior class of 1988 studied its way
toward the 17 credit requirement for senior
high, students tacked on additional home·
work hours. Once again, academics took a
bite out of time.

In the gym ' s locker rooms, the echoes of
voices and clanging of slamming lockers
made it almost impossible to carry on a con·
versation . Last hour 's gym students , still us·

giving their hairdos a final check in t he mir·

Attending school in a castle, shopping for
Swatch watches in a 300-year-old city and
eating steak tartar for breakfast, all shaped
lasting memories for 21 Kenosha students
and their four chaperones in West Germany
June 12-July 11, 1985.
The students , coming from Tremper, Bradford, St. Joseph and Shoreland Lutheran high
schools found that after a few days of living
with German host families from Kenosha 's
sister-city , Wolfenbuttel, they felt right at
home. The four chaperones, Mr. and Mrs.
James Marescalco, Tremper German teacher
Michelle Nielson and Roxanne Larson , also
felt the warmth of the German families.
"I found it very exciting as well as interesting to live with a German family, especially
one as 'old world' and traditional as ours, "
confirmed Mr. Marescalco. " They treated my
wife and me like royalty ."
The 50-60 degree summer air motivated
students to ask , "Do you sell warm sweaters? " During their first experience in speaking
German, they traded their precious Mark bills
for an end to goose bumps and chattering
teeth . As Bradford senior Todd Hlavka chuckled, " After one week of German weather, I
found myself looking up the words 'tanning
spa ' in my German-English dictionary so that
I could ask my host family for directions!"
Passing the first week catching up on sleep,
sightseeing Wolfenbuttel, and acquainting
themselves with their German host families,
the group filled the next five days getting
accustomed to the German school system.

classes, eat during class, or even leave the
school altogether and go into town for a pop."
Shoreland Lutheran graduate Jon Mielke
agreed, " It's more like a college atmoshere."
Many students also came to understand
how much more difficult the German curriculum was, as they noticed their German host
students preparing for college entrance exams by hitting the books up to eight hours a
day for a week .
Besides spending time in Wolfenbuttel's
small town atmosphere, the students also
tasted life-in-the-big-city when they stayed two
days in Munich during a five-day tour of
southern Germany. In this culture-filled setting, the Germans had mixed their history
with the newest of technology . Architecture
as well as lifestyles blended quaint, flowered
balconies with brick, glass and steel office
buildings.

Then after the two brief Munich days and
three days back " home" in Wolfenbuttel, the
students were on the road again, this time
heading for West Berlin.
Many of the pupils found Berlin to be the
high point of their stay for a variety of reasons. Some, like Tremper junior Paulette
Hemming and St. Joseph junior Colleen Biehn
discovered the fact that Berlin is Germany's
center of fashion . "The shopping is fabulous!" they both agreed.
For others , such as Tremper senior Paul
Koch, the trip peaked during a day spent in
East Berlin. "Traveling into East Berlin satisfied a lot of my curiosity about what a communist country is really like," he said. "Just
trying to get in and out of the city was an
adventure!" Some were more skeptical as
they nervously went through the procedure of
showing their passports to stern, armed
guards, and after a half hour of waiting, were
finally allowed to pass through the barb-wired
fences into East Berlin.
Most of the exchangees found that after a
month of excitement and adventure, they left
Wolfenbuttel with heavy hearts 1and teary
eyes. "I couldn't bear to say goodbye to all
my German friends, knowing I'd probably
never see them again," declared St. Joseph
graduate Deanna Janson. Yet, as the last
glimpse of Wolfenbuttel disappeared behind
the bus, the kids and adults alike looked
homeward with a new perspective, a bite of
German culture, and enough good memories
to rekindle Germany time after time.

Quality puzzle
Academics piece together staff, texts, comp. manual
In efforts to improve the quality of educa·
tion , the administrators and staff brought to·
gether additions to the school's curriculums
in jigsaw manner.These changes ranged from
new Economics texts to new English teach·
ers.
According to English Department Chair·
men Terry Lawler and John Schmidt, high
standards in class instruction remained the
most important continuing feature. Upon the
recommendation of the English Task Force,
the School Board voted to have the English
composition classes reduced to 23 students
and less in an attempt to improve composi·
tion skills through more contact with individ·
ual students.
In past years, junior students completed
the English Competency Test during compo·
sition classes. However, this year the English
Task Force decided to change the tradition.
"We felt it would be better to assemble the
students into one area. However, this spring
the test was reorganized as in the past," com·
mented English instructor Mr. John Schmidt.
Junior Mike Erickson added, "The mass test·
ing turned out to be more of a social hour."
In more efforts to update English curricu·
lum, new editions of texts replaced old for
both British Writers I and II, Adventures in
English Literature. Also, the new Semantics
Honors course received two new books, Lan·
guage in Thought and Action and Making

Sense.
Furthermore, during the last week of Octo·
ber , students purchased a copy of the "Com·
position Style Manual" for 50 cents. Under
the direction of Dr. Howard Moon, Coordina·
tor of English Curriculum, a committee of
English teachers collaborated on standardiza·
tion of grammatical concepts for all students,
grades one through twelve . From Tremper,
Mrs. Sandra Jacoby, Mr. John Schmidt, Mrs.
Mary Snyder and Mrs. Nancy Walkowski
served on the committee.
The English department also expanded per·
sonnel ·wise with the addition of the teachers
Mrs. Ann Berquist who taught English 10
Composition Basic and Regular and Mrs. Jin·
ine Giese who taught English Composition 10
and 11 Regular. Mr. Thomas Amacher, who
instructed Radio Broadcasting, TV Workshop,
TV Productions, and English 1Oand 11 Com·
position replaced former faculty member Mr.
Stephen Kiszely.
Whereas the English department increased
by three, the foreign language classes hablo
with one new profesor, Mr. Orlando lnfusino.
Mr. lnfusino taught two classes of Spanish II.
This addition resulted from the fact that for·
eign languages increased in popularity. Statis·
tics showed that 28 percent of Wisconsin high
school students studied a foreign language.
At Tremper, 31.3 percent enrolled in the for·
eign languages.

"Foreign languages are not just for college
bound students. Most high school students
benefit from exposure to another culture, "
stressed French and Spanish instructor Mrs.
Mary Gamache.
Like the English and foreign language de·
partments, the social studies department
gained two, that is, two new texts. One for
Sociology, Introduction to Sociology, and an·
other for Economics, Economics Institutions
and Analysis. "It's nice to have an updated
ve_rsion of the Economics book. Past statis·

' ' During my 14 days in France
over spring break, my three
years of French paid off.''
junior Anne Pflieger
tics will not do me too much good for the
future," expressed junior David Oliak .
In addition, the School Board also consid·
ered elective, half credit course World Issues
to become a required class, but they rejected
the proposal because one more requirement
would be a heavy load on students' new 17
credit requirement.
Each of the changes and additions pieced

Change remolds policy
Oberpriller, /SS and Effective Schools alter school climate
With the dawning of the new school year
came new administrative policies, such as the
l.S.S. policy and the Effective Schools Policy.
Also, administrative changes focused on a
new assistant principal who set up shop .
Truancy ranked as one of the school 's Jar·
gest problems. To curb this trend of skipping ,
the administration put the following policy
into effect on January 6 , 1986: " Two hours
detention will result for each period truant,
four hours for each one-half day truant and
eight hours for each full day truant. Anytime
a student is truant and his detention hours
exceed 12, the student will be placed in lnSchool·Suspension a minimum of two days to
a maximum of four days which will credit
outstanding detention owed by that student at
the rate of seven hours per day of ln·School·
Suspension. "

Alert to the national trend toward Effective
Schools, the faculty and the staff designed a
plan to help make Tremper an all-around better place to be. The program is divided into
three main categories: HELP, Help Establish
Learning Procedures headed by Dr. Mary
Scharmach; STEP, Student Teacher Encouragement Program headed by Mr. Greg Brand ;
and USER, Utilizing Supplementary Existing
Resources headed by Miss Nancy Phipps.
Effective Schools committees originated a
sophomore orientation day on August 12 and
13 and hosted speakers who talked to Trem·

' ' What I like about Tremper is
the friendliness and cooperation
of everyone.''

School policy appeared to have responded
to public concern even more quickly than the
state legislature. As of January, legislators in
Wisconsin were considering a new bill which
would , if passed, place stiff penalties on stu·
dents who are habitually truant. These penalties may include revocation of driver's Ii·
cense, prohibition of jobs, revocation of fishing and hunting licenses and fines to parents
if found negligent.
Many students expressed disapproval of
the new policy, although it was absolute.
"You could do something that's not really
that bad, like chewing gum or being tardy ,
and if your detention hours accumulate over
12, you can get stuck in l.S.S. It's just not
fair," complained junior Chris Holly.

In addition to these changes, the enforcement of school rules, methods of dealing with
students refusing to perform to their academic potential and a program to recognize
teens for academic achievements addressed
student concerns through Effective Schools
policies . Transferring to Tremper from Lance
Junior High, Mr. Frances Oberpriller, the new

school year hectically. Due to prior-existir
scheduling complications, he spent mat
weekday and weekend hours sitting behin
his desk, working out the faculty and cla~
schedules before September 3, the first day c
classes .
Principal Richard Regner identified Obe
priller 's strongest area as , " providing a lot c
cooperation and willingness to get the jo
done as an administrative team . He is gem
inely interested in the kids and always put
them first."
Oberpriller also contributed to the ace
demic system by identifying the need for adc
tional staff in the English and Physical Educe
tion departments. This resulted in hiring Mrs
Jinine Giese for two periods per day durirlf
both semesters in the English Departmen
and Ms. Jane Frost for one period of physica
education and one period of health during
both semesters. Although changes instill ne~
energy in a school , it is carry-over that create<
stability. In fact, Regner pointed to the returr
of administrators and staff as the stabilizinc
element. Regner's presence itself has becom
more apparent to the student body , especiall)
through his many P.A. announcement.
He concluded, "The essence of getting
your point across is good communications. If
I feel good about something, I'm going to le
the students know. And if I feel bad abou·
something , I'm going to let them know that
too."

After not being permitted to walk the halls or chat with
friends, an ISS student closes her day at the 2:30 bell.

Silently thinking of 11 Geometry proof. an ISS stud
patiently awaits the 11 :30 a.m . lunch·time break.

As Mrs. Carol Stebbins relieves Mr. Larry Hartung during his break. two ISSers break rules by sneaking a peek.

Reading Intensely, two ISS students complete the n
packets developed by counselors Mr. Andrew Fenne
and Mrs. Mary Lou Bauer.

" Let 's skip 7th hour," or " I'm going to gc
have a smoke in the bathroom ." Such atfr
tudes kept the In School Suspension (ISS)
Room 203 bustling from September to June
and necessitated the debut of the ISS packet.
The supervising aide Mr. Larry Hartung reinforced the laws for violators. ISS students
followed strict rules of not talking , remaining
seated , facing forward at all times and com·
pleting that day 's assignments submitted by
faculty whose classes the ISSers missed. If
students chose to ignore the rules , school
officials added one extra day of suspension
for the first offense, three extra days for the
second offense, and three days of out-ofschool suspension for the third offense.
Teachers granted ISS students credit for
doing each day 's work . Those few who refused to complete work received no credit.
Out-of·school suspension mandated that students accepted a zero for the day.
Being sent to Room 203 forced students to
miss class activities such as films, slides , lectures and test, which could not be made up.
Similar to excused absences , some classroom
knowledge could be gathered only through
the 55 minute class for discussion or the viewing experiences.

During a typical ISS day when the morning aged students to stay away from trouble.

Night before
Procrastinators fear last minute flurry
Term paper due dates, semester exams ,
chapter tests, book reports, Homecoming,
Madrigal Fea ste , Black Watch and band performances , Easter, Christmas or Hanukkah ,
all shared the similarity that " It has to be
done!" Yet, for which have most Tremperites
exper ienced the busiest night before?
The long preparation in decorating the
house and quick , last minute shopping for
Christmas and Hanukkah piled on pressure
and flared quick tempers. The endless hours
of cooking often delayed the need for gift
shopping , that later took precedent over col lapsing in front of the T. V.
While the last of the procrastinators hurried
to buy gifts, others spent their last few available hours during December 16-20, looking
for research books for term papers .
" The most demanding things about term
papers are gathering all the information needed and spending many hours writing the paper," explained sophomore Kathy Wisneski .
In order to keep their energy up in the wee
morning hours, 58 of 60 students recalled
gulping down Coca Cola Classic , taking Nodoz and " cranking " up the tunes .
" You know you have to stay up to finish
the work . Once you 're done, you just conk
out wherever you are," reflected sophomore
Anne Miller. The night before a term paper 's
due date resulted in fatigue and blazed eyes.
" A good 303 of my students have term-

paperiti s the day before paper is due. If the
student is absent, he mu st have somebody
else bring it in, otherwise he gets knoc ked
down a grade," observed Mr. T erry Lawl er ,

" Those last touches on three term papers

on to finish them before 7:30 a.m . the next
morning . I just felt like staying in bed for the

and management. Kakihana later revealed the
Japanese guests' view of differences.
" Kumi was a· life saver. She could easily
explain how the Japanese and American
schools differed. Kumi had an advantage over
the interpreter because she was exposed to
both educational systems," commented
Regner .
Kakihana said that she felt uncomfortable
after her first few welcoming bursts because
she had forgotten that she had to talk in a
respectful way to the tourists . " They noticed
that I talked differently , but did not get mad . I
decided, though , I should speak more respectful to them ," stated Kakihana .
Once they were comfortable with her, the
tourists popped up with questions. Regner's

young age overwhelmed the Japanese peo·
pie . In Japan, being principal required an age
of at least 50 y ears old .
The students' freedom surprised the v1s1·
tors the most. " Jn Japan the principal is re·
spected for his high position , and the students
don 't usually talk to him. The tourists
couldn 't believe the friendly relationship Mr.
Regner and I have," informed Kakihana .

ed that American students receive excellent
opportunities in the high school curriculum .
The five nutritionists of the group enlarged
their concept of food production when they
visited Ocean Spray in addition to Tremper 's
cafeteria and the Educational Support Cen·
ter 's district-sized kitchen . They expressed
amazement that one kitchen was large
enough to serve an entire school district.
Following school visits , the Japanese tour·
ists hosted a formal tea ceremony with formal
speeches by American and Japanese people.
Later in an informal atmosphere , songs like
" America the Beautiful " drew Japanese and
Americans together to share cultures . They
exchanged reactions on numerous topics.
" The Japanese expressed surprise that ele·
mentary school children were able to talk
while eating lunch; in Japan, children remain
silent and study quietly after eating. However,
they complimented the behavior of American
elementary and high school students during
lunch ," said Superintendent Dr. John Hos·
manek .
" The party promoted a warm conclusion to
their visit for all of us, Japanese and Ameri·
can alike," concluded Dr. Hosmanek.

Foreign friendship first
American competition places second with Chinese
The International Sports Exchange, an
agency in California , sponsored a ten -day trip
to China for 245 cross country athletes from
different areas of the United States. Social
studies teacher Mr. Charles Bradley and Mr.
Pete Henkes, coach from Racine Horlick ,
along with the other 245 selected participants , depa~ted from O 'Hare International Airport on December 26, at 10:50 a.m .
After a sixteen-hour flight , the two coaches
chosen from the Midwest and the other
American landed in Hong Kong where they
spent their first four days shopping and viewing the city . Bradley found Hong Kong to be a
very modern city .
" Many high·rise apartments and tall buildings towered above Hong Kong 's population
of five million, " observed Bradley.
A small percentage of the massive population lived on boats on the Hong Kong Harbor.
On the other hand, a walk on a hill , where
Bradley could view shanties for Chinese refu-

tended to become crowded when a mere five
people occupied them.
A tremendous number of bicycles also added to Canton 's impressive population of
three million . " One time we found ourselves
caught in a rush hour of bikes . I could have
combed one of the bicyclist's hair; they were
that close . In fact, the bus driver kept one
hand on the wheel and the other on the horn
as he drove," remarked Bradley.
On January 2 in a memorable competition ,
the American boys took eight out of ten firstplace awards, and the American girls took
seven out of ten . Moreover, a Chinese and an
American girl roused an even louder applause
because they held hands throughout the race.
" The Chinese did not even care about who
won the competition , they appreciated the
presence of the Americans ," added Mr. Bradley . In another event , a water buffalo decided
to join in . The American athletes had been
chased by kids on bicycles and dogs, but

but it was a sacrifice I had to
make as a coach. ' '

gees, contrasted with the up-to-date city scenery .
Upon the Americans ' arrival at the city
Canton , the athletes, coaches included, raced
to the nearest McDonald 's to grab some
" home style cooking ." Earlier in Hong Kong,
the U.S. team had caught sight of people
selling food , both dead and alive, in street
markets. Moreover, the Americans had eyed
even roasted dog hung on a line. Most of the
Chinese diet, however, consisted mainly of
vegetables, due to the small amount of space
available to raise animals. This , too, explained
the use of dog as a meat item.
In Canton, the Americans toured three different factories. "I found it amazing to watch
the Chinese who did such skilled work ," remarked Bradley.
Each craftsman painted with four different
dyes and made each porcelain object look
almost alike. The Americans also viewed a
jade and a gold factory.
The size of the stores astonished the Americans . According to Bradley, some of the
stores could have been considered the size of
an oversized closet. These stores sometimes

never a water buffalo.
Bidding final farewells , Mr. Bradley dined
with some Chinese people. Mr. Zhao Huaizhu ,
who owned a soft-drink bottling company that
sold orange-flavored soda , announced ,
through an interpreter, that he had a gift for
Mr. Bradley and the rest of the Americans .
Each American received a case of orange
soda with twenty-four cans in it. This presented a minor problem to the athletes, for they
had no room to carry the sodas . They already
had more than enough luggage and souvenirs.
The Americans had to leave the sodas behind.
On January 5, ten days later, the athletes
returned to U.S with many memories of their
China visit .
" The Chinese knew so much more about
Americans than we knew about them . The
whole experience, for the kids and me, will
never be forgotten ," concluded Bradley.

ESC consolidates support
Savings in heating, rental and ultility costs cut $240,000
The 127,689 square feet old Wards building
expanded to the Educational Support Center
to consolidate all Kenosha Unified School Dis·
trict's offices under one roof. In addition to
administrative offices , a warehouse, mainten·
ance shops, food preparation kitchens domi·
nated floor space.
The 20,000 square foot warehouse stored
everything from athletic uniforms to text·
books. More than 200,000 tons of materials
arrived for the district each year.
The food service, the largest operation in
the community , prepared cafeteria food and
sent it out to all the schools in the district.
" The 50 foot by 20 foot freezer is so big that
forklifts go right into it with the pallets of
food," explained Head Chef Rose Hawkins.
"The food tastes exactly the same as last
year. If I didn't know about the Center, I would
have no idea it came from somewhere else, "
stated junior John Rasch.
Rose Hawkins, Head Cook in 1985, moved
up to the position of Head Chef of the dis·
trict's food services .
"I've always liked working in this depart·
ment, but I miss the students I knew when I
was at Tremper. When the kitchen was
moved, I had the feeling of should I or
shouldn't I go," said Hawkins.
According to the Kenosha Unified School
District Open House program, "The opening
of the Educational Support Center signifies

centrally located Montgomery Wards building
at 3600 52nd Street, which suited the consoli·
dation purpose.
"I think the ESC has added something to
the area . It's made the area look good and
could be of benefit to local commercial estab·
lishments," remarked Superintendent John
Hosmanek.
To make the city more aware of the newly
occupied building, the school district opened
up the Support Center to the public on No·
vember 17. Crowds estimated at 2,600 toured

the successful realization of the consolidation

tion of the schools and sound instructional
programs.''
Inefficiently, supportive services had pre·
viously been scattered throughout the district
in various buildings . In search for an appropri·
ate facility to house these collective services,
the facilities utilization task force inspected
five vacant buildings.
They spotted the suitable, affordable and

the facility. The dedication ceremony and the
multi·media presentation about the ESC
opened the eyes of the public.
The Tremper Golden Strings and Bradford
Strings orchestrated the musical entertain·
ment at the ESC Open House/ Dedication . " I
was surprised that so many people showed
up. I think I was IT!Ore enthused to play be·
cause of the crowd ," replied senior Dawn
Fisher.
The purchase and renovation of the build·
ing by the Kenosha Unified School District
cost about $3.5 million. The district's general
fund supplied $1.4 million, and another $1 . 1
million came from state aids. The other 1
million came from elementary and high
school funds , the district 's school lunch fund,
the Energy Conservation Fund and the Major
Maintenance Fund.
The district expected that the cost savings
resulting from consolidation will pay for the
total cost of the building in approximately 12
years. At a reserve of $240,000 a year, the
district saved by no longer heating old school
buildings and warehouses , no longer paying
rent for offices in City Hall, and reducing the
food service staff by eight.
"Besides savings , another benefit from con·
solidation is better communication . Everyone
is in one building so we don 't have to run back
and forth between places," concluded Assis·
tant Superintendent Ralph Houghton .

Hittin' books knocks out failing grades
While the " remember what you can " and
" do it before class " attitudes accomplished
desired grades for some students who seldom
combined home and work , other Trojans real·
ized that nothing replaced homework . Regardless of the attached adjectives of basic, regu·
Jar or honors, classes took a bite out of time.
Time to relax and time to be social often had
to be shelved for the books.
In a poll of approximately 103 of the Tro·
jan populace, 60 sophomores, 60 juniors and
60 seniors participated. Proportionate to the
school's level classification , 10 basic , 30 regular and 20 honors students marked questionnaires for each grade level.
Out of 180 Trojans polled , 783 said that
one to two hours per each hour of honors
class was necessary and that 703 put in one
to two hours per each hour of a regular class .

one to two hours of television per night and
463 went out two to three nights a week.
" Glancing through the responses to the survey in one of my classes, it was surprising to
see that only a small number of the respondents had indicated that they studied for a
test or did their homework rather than the
other alternatives. Since the grades in this
class seemed to be lower than might be expected for the level, it would seem that the
grades are commensurate to the amount of
studying done, " observed Mrs. Nancy Walkowski , American Literature Honors teacher.

Thus, both honors and regular classes met
homework guidelines recommended by the
Board of Education for honors courses.
" I put in a least one and a half hours for
each hour of my honors class and a minimum
of one hour for regular classes in order to
keep up my grade point average," said sophomore Tami Boyd.
If the majority of students studied after
school , what occupied the other students'
time during the evening?
With the opportunity to select more than
one activity , 583 of the students polled chose
to talk on the phone, 543 to go out, and 403
to watch television over the studying 263.
Further information on evening activity revealed that 653 of the student body watched

dally during a long exam. tt

Some first-quarter point averages reflected

students. With only 15.93 of the Trojan populace achieving A's and 26.73 accomplishing
B's, the 263 of the surveyed students who
were willing to put in the extra hours got the
grade payoff.
" A proud ' A ' or ' B' on an important paper
was always worth the extra one or two hours
of effort," said junior Julie Peltier.

chose three kinds of classes including com·

To admire French artists ' paintings, 54
French students visited the Art Institute in
Ch icago on March 18. Students viewed 18th
century, Neoclassicism, Impressionism, Post·
impressionism, Expressionism, Cubism and
Surrealism paintings. "Because Mrs. Ga·

Field trips did often lengthen the school

gained beyond classroom walls compensated
for those efforts, according to faculty mem

- P- -R-1 Seniors, juniors and sophomores alike indulged in spirit
games, the Danceathon and even
in M iami Sound Machine 's " The
Conga " to Tremperize the phrase
Bigger Than Life. Whether it radiated from " Senior Spirit '86 " Tsh irts , juniors ' prom posters for
" A Night Gone With the Wind ," or
sophomore " Wimpy " signs at the
Spring Sports Assembly , a Bigger
Than Life attitude dominated Trojan life.
With the ringing in of the spirit
bell , class distinction roared . Tugo-wars, balloon shaving contests
and egg tosses divided the school
into senior reds , junior blues and
sophomore whites.

Uniformed in class colors, teens
packed into the gym seventh hour
for sports assemblies. This time,
classes hollered, " S-P-1-R-l-T, spirit
leads to victory ," to clinch the
brass.
Armed with Kendsha Ne , juniors flashed the print at the sen·
ior 's cheer. Seniors, with heads
held high, " burned " the underclassmen with cold shoulders as
they turned backs on the chan t.
Class rivalry melted when
" sticky fingers " heisted the New

swapped money-making ideas to

Speaking a few words of gratitude for

Not even the 90-degree temperatures lasting through the
week of September 3 stifled the
Class of '86. Recapturing the
Homecoming trophy and winning
four out of five spirit bell competitions, senior spirit soared through
the year.
Homecoming festivities lei-ed a
victory on the senior class. They
bagged the spirit bell for the first
time during the sock-hop pep ral·
ly, and their "Meow Luau!" float
captured the first place trophy.
Their first fund-raiser of the
year, the sale of red and blue pompons and spirit buttons, left the
Class of '86 with a profit of
$155.50.
Just in time for the Winter
Sports Assembly, a gust of new
senior spirit blew into the halls in
the form of the senior spirit campaign, better known as S.S. 86.

seeing red.
Seniors, though, got the blues
at the Winter Sports Assembly on
November 21 , as the juniors
snatched the Spirit Bell away.
However, revenge proved sweet at
Key Club's Annual Barrel Drive on
December 20, when seniors came
in second, only to faculty, with
3600 points while the juniors
plummeted to last place.
The Senior Sock-hop on January 17 added $313 to the senior
stash. The traditional Class of '86
theme, "Go Hawaiian," added a
fun·in-the-sun atmosphere as the
classes boogied to classic hits like
"Surfin' Safari" and "California
Girls." Nevertheless, the typically
senior rebellious attitude surfaced
at the Junior "Toga Party" Sockhop on January 31, when many
jokingly arrived in their pajamas.
The Blood Drive Kickoff dance
again sweetened senior victories
when the guys pie-eating contest
and the tricycle-relay race won
first places. President Ann Colter

clanged the spirit bell which, by
then, had become senior property.
Finally, at the Spring Sports As·
sembly in April, the seniors
screamed S·P-1-R-l-T for the last
time, nabbing the bell a fifth time.
"We are a very spirited class,"
commented Senior Class Secre·
tary Erika Hackemer. "We aren't
embarrassed to get involved in
school activities and have a good
time!"
Uniting as a class for the last
time before graduation, the Class
of '86 held their Senior Banquet,
entitled "Glory Days," on May 16
at the Elk's Club. Rockin' to the
tunes of SHOUT, class members
recalled their success-filled year
with smiles and laughter as the
senior slide show captured the
year' s highlights. Although sen·
iors knew that June 12 would una·
viodably launch each member on
a separate path, as senior Polly
Keyes reflected, "That night we
all felt like close friends."

Revelation jams old and new numbers
" We 're just out to have some
fun ," said lead singer Brian Crawford. Along with keyboard player
Peter Hansen , guitarist Dan Lenegar, bass guitarist Scott Jacobs
and drummer Duane Murawski,
dancers young and old savored
the Revelation experience of rock
and roll classics.
Revelation kicked of its show
with alumnist Dan Lenegar boosting the dancers to their feet with
the Romantic 's " What I Like
About You " intro. Crawford , a senior, backed alumnist Jacobs on
vocals .
Originally, Jacobs and Lenegar
jammed a hard rock-heavy metal
format with Murawski on drums.

As the band began practicing ,
though , they learned that they
needed to expand their musical
range to perform the music most
popular to dancers. Hence, Han·
sen 's keyboards colored their music and broadened their range of
songs with his improvisations.
Playing piano for ten years and
keyboards three, Hansen's fingering flare on his Casio headed Revelation towards some originals .
A keyboard solo curiously
called " Duodedumb" displayed
more than fast fingerwork ; it
showed the senior 's ear for melodic tunes .
" He plays the song for over four
minutes, and it hardly ever re-

pe~ts . The song shows a lot of
creativity . It's hard to believe that
he wrote something so smooth
and fast in less than a week ," admired Crawford .
Murawski paced the band and
the dancers by crashing out the
rhythm . Because he was into the
older dance rock and roll , Murawski filled the drumming style
epitomized by Lenegar and Jacobs . The senior drummer commented, " It's the music that
makes you want to dance, so it is
very important to attack it with
energy and liveliness."
Murawski played percussion for
ten years and drummed in the
Tremper Wind Ensemble. " Drums
are my outlet. If I have a bad day
at school , I can sit down with the
band and forget about it," he added .
Crawford's smooth vocals carried the flow of slower dances
such as Journey 's " Faithfully "
and Bryan Adams ' " Heaven ,"
while he backed Jacobs on tunes
like Judas Priest 's " You've Got

Class act wows Kids From Wisconsin
" I first saw KIDS perform in
1983. The dancing was remark·
able, and the band was awesome. I
really loved the group, and I want·
ed to be in it. I never thought I
would try out and make it, "
grinned senior Brian Crawford .
Crawford and j unior Damian
Marhefka sang and danced their
way into the Kids From Wiscon·
sin. Choreographed by Tom Ter·
rian and chorally instructed by
Tremperite Mr. Kurt Chalgren , the
nationally known group presented
21 singers and dancers and 11
band members.
Auditions keyed off on January
15, with a vocal evaluation con·
sisting of a pre-recorded song of
the candidate's choice. Out of 400
Wisconsinites, 15 to 20 years old,

102 dazzled the judges with showstopping talent.
These semi-finalists then tuned
into a live singing and on·the·spot
dance routine, deciding the 32 fi·
nalists. " After the audition I felt a
little relieved, but I still had to wait
for my letter to come in the mail,
telling me if I made it or not, "
explained Marhefka.
The KIDS season jazzed to an
abrupt start June 14 at State Fair
Park. The KIDS sang and danced
for 14 days from 7:30 a.m . to 11
p .m., only breaking three halfhour periods for meals.
" All of my excitement turned
into determination when I thought
about enduring 15-hour rehearsal
days," admitted Crawford.
"Camp was extremely hard

work as I had expected. We
squeezed all of our practices into
two weeks because the rest of our
summer days would be filled with
performances, " said Marhefka.
Two weeks packed full of prac·
tice set the stage for the opening
show scheduled in June. KIDS
planned to charm audiences with
77 shows in approximately 63
days. The tour's busy agenda
scheduled Milwaukee's Summer·
fest, Wisconsin State Fair, Six
Flags Great America and Florida 's
Disneyworld.
" Although my summer didn't
allow me to spend time with my
friends from Kenosha , Kids From
Wisconsin really was a good ex·
perience for me. I will never forget
it, " concluded Marhefka.

Elbow grease shifts gears
For some teens, the automobile
represented a "no holding back"
mentality. Yet, for others, the auto
symbolized the beginning of a new
era in their lives. For senior Jeff
Wamboldt, a 1949 Willy's Jeep re·
fleeted more than chrome, that is,
hard work, innovation and family
effort.
Wamboldt's '49 Willy's cruised
the beaches of Lake Michigan and
Silver Lake throughout the sum·
mer. With its maroon paint com·
plimented by shiny chrome, this
unique vehicle turned heads and
drew multiple "oohs" and "aahs"
from passersby . Senior Dave
Blake joked, " I got a kick out of
watching heads spin as we drove
by."
Its uniqueness lies not only in

its rare body, but the combination
of automobile parts that Warn·
boldt and his father especially fit·
ted for it. Because of the stout·
ness of the body and the limited
area for rear tire space on the
Jeep's body, it demanded multiple
alterations for the '55 Chevy
frame and mammoth back tires.
"My father works as a machinist
at Tri-Clover, so that helped us
with fitting special parts," Warn·
boldt explained.
Under the hood purred a 327
four-speed Chevy engine, its exte·
rior gleaming with chrome. The
beauty of these eight mirrored cyl·
inders was matched only by its
smooth roar.
The intricate, innovative struc·
ture of the Jeep resulted from two

years of meticulous father-son la·
bor. "We built the entire body
from the ground up. It was in terri·
ble shape, but my father was look·
ing for a project we could spend
some time on," stated Wamboldt.
Bill Wamboldt , Jeff's father,
said, " We really hit her hard this
spring." Jeff went on to add,"
When we got to a point where we
were making definite progress, I'd
be working on it until ten every
night. After a while , I'd think twice
before working on it. I began to
say to myself, 'Is it worth it?" '
Wamboldt's Jeep sped its way

nent auto shows such as the Hot·

sentation of Foolish Fred. " I
wasn 't afraid," he remembered . " I
thought it was just a bunch of kids
laughing with me, not at me."
Christensen's fifth grade sing·
ing debut came from the chance
to try·out for Waukegan Jack
Benny Elementary 's first choir
and the need to " keep out of trou·
ble."
He continued, " I felt the need to
explore my limits, to boldly go
where no sane person has ever
gone before.''
Joining the Trojan ranks as a
junior fresh from Waukegan East
High, Christensen moved when his
father invested in Kenosha's Colo·
nial Inn . Since his dad did not
want to waste gas, he moved, and
Christensen moved in.
Christensen immediately joined
Drama Co., East's equivalent of
Thespian Club, and played the ho·
mosexual in the play " Tremper
Zone.''
To further expand his acting
abilities , Christensen tried out and
snagged the part of Judd Fry in
Tremper's first musical Ok/aho·
ma. He played a psychotic killer
who wanted Laurie, played by sen·
ior Erika Hackemer, all to himself
but accidentally died in a fight
against Curly, played by senior
Dave Dieter, when Fry tripped on

As a senior, Christensen opted
to improve his singing abilities,
tried out for A Capella and received bass baritone status. He
then tried out for the 1985 musical
The Boyfriend and won one of the
leading roles , that of Percival
Browne, again opposite Hack·
emer.
To better gain improvisational
experience and earn money for
college, Christensen landed a job
with Warn Barn Singing Telegram
Services, earning up to $20 a call
plus tips .
" The most I ever got was a $35
tip from some business guys
when they liked my Sony Clause
persona , a samurai Santa Claus I
created for a businessman going
to Japan."
Christensen continued , "My
first job required a 6:30 a.m.
house call. As soon as she an·
swered the doorbell she said, 'No.
Tell him I never want to see him
again,' and slammed the door on
my face." He finished, "I felt like
an [mule] standing there with
tights on, and nothing to do."
" A smile is all the repayment I
ever need." Christensen conclud·
ed, " Knowing I made someone
smile, even for a second, in this
grim world means I made the
world a slightly better place to
be."

From troop, Eagles soar to service
Working as a team at Camp
Lyle in northern Wisconsin , seniors Greg Thurau , Mark Totts and
Larry Trusky along with 20 other
scouts latched a 50-foot tower of
wooden posts together in the summer of 1983. The troopers then
climbed the tower to prove the
confidence they had in themselves and trust in each other.
• ... In sixth grade, Trusky , Totts
and Thurau advanced from Cub
Scouts into Boy Scouts. Although
Trusky 's Troop 553 met at Western United Methodist Church and
Thurau and Totts ' Troop 533 held
meetings at St. Mary 's Lutheran
Church , the three Tremperites
planted , raked and camped together on scouting activities for
Kenosha County .
By earning progress awards,
scouts gained rank . After four 2mile hikes or after cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner at camp,
the guys filled badge requirements.
" With projects set up for us
everyday and counselors there to
check us off, camp is the best
time to work together and get our
badges," explained Trusky .
Starting out as a Scout, Thurau
and Totts climbed the ladder to
the rank of Tenderfoot, to Second
Class , to First Class, to Star, and
finally to Life scout. Trusky advanced one rank higher to the fi -

nal and most prestigious honor of
Eagle Scout.
On April 7, 1986, Troop 553
hosted a special banquet in honor
of Trusky 's ascension to Eagle
Scout. This was the first time
since 1984 that a member of this
troop had peaked to Eagle Scout.
Trusky received certificates of
recognition from the Veteran's of
Foreign Wars , the Wisconsin Legislature, the State of Wisconsin
and President Reagan .
In order to advance to Eagle,
Trusky had organized a successful blood drive of 50 pints of
blood. Likewise, for community
service projects, Trusky and his
troop planted trees at Bong Air
Base; Totts and Thurau 's troop
distributed the census .
Aside from merit tasks , the
boys did things together just for
the fun of it. Swimming, skiing
and weekend camping at Odakoda Campsite in Kenosha County lured the guys into the outdoors
on Friday and Saturday nights.
The summer of 1983 held one
of the most memorable events in
Boy Scouts for Thurau and
Trusky . For ten days, these two
Tremperites and three other
scouts backpacked in the lower

school , Trusky, Totts and Thurau
became junior assistant scout
masters because rank can no longer be gained after age 18. " I feel a
responsibility to keep the troop
running smoothly , just like the
older boys did when I had just
started," added Totts .
"Even though we are leaders,
everyone in scouts is a best friend
no matter what age or rank ," concluded Trusky .

Evans sprints for pit crew
The cliche of barefoot and preg·
nant has become archaic , and
women have touched every step
in the job world from high school
principal to Prime Minister of Eng·
land. Part of this mass expansion
of occupational frontiers, senior
Jacquie Evans opened another
door for a woman in sprint car
racing .
Originally introduced in the
summer of 1984 to the Miller
American Racing Team by her
boyfriend , Evans teamed up with
the pit crew of driver Kim Mock,
who is also one of the three own·
ers of the sprint car.
Because she originally knew lit·
tie about car engines, Evans ' first
duties included washing, waxing
and touch-up painting the car for
shows and races . The crews work
shined as first place finishes were
produced in the car shows at the

86

C lass of '86

Chicago McCormick Place, the
Brookfield Square Mall in Brook·
field , Wisconsin , and the Capitol
Court Mall in Milwaukee.
By observing adjustments and
refinements done by other me·
chanics, Evans ' car sense expand·
ed. Her duties also grew to chang·
ing the gears in the rear of the car
to adjust to track lengths and con·
ditions.
In that Evans graduated after
first semester by taking summer
credits and joining COOP, the
time spent on the crew enhanced
the learning experiences of
school.

" I've learned to be quick while
doing my work and not to get too
excited if something happens to
the car. With everything going on
so fast , I've learned to take things
as they come ."
The Miller American Racing
Team travelled through Wiscon·
sin , Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, and Mis·
souri. She added , " It's very inter·
esting to meet new people and vis·
it new tracks . Most people there
are absorbed in their work ."
One of few women in a male·
dominated sport, Evans reflected ,
" My family supported me one
hundred percent. My mother has a

picture of the car on her desk . My
dad is proud of me, although he
wasn 't sure about how safe I
would be on the track . Even my
sister Jeniffer thinks it's great."
Contrary to her family , her fel·
low crew members needed time to
recognize her talents . " I did have
to prove that I could do things , but
they are starting to realize that I
have mechanical ability ."
With speeds of 80·90 mph on a
quarter-mile track and 130· 140
mph on half·mile tracks, excite·
ment and danger followed each
turn on the dirt for the sprint car
driver and his crew .
" There is a lot of risk involved.
Kim has flipped the car twice , but
it protected him from getting hurt.
In the pit, I've almost been run
over twice as I rushed out to refuel
the car on its stop ," Evans said .
While studying for an Account·
ing degree at G.T .I. and gaining
experience at Heritage Bank, Ev·
ans ' career aspirations leaned to·
ward the fast lane of auto racing.
" I want to stay with the team for
three more years . I plan to start
racing stock cars , and when I do,
I'll have to concentrate on getting
my own team ," Evans concluded .

Although senior Marie Priebus
tuned her organ into classical
works of Beethoven, Bach and
Motzart, she also picked up on a
progressive jazz beat to scale up
to bigger·than·life national recogni·
tion.
Competition-wise , Priebus
played on·beat each time she per·
formed . At her first contest, Keno·
sha 's Yamaha Festival, in 1980,
she achieved first place with
"Theme from Man of Lamachia ."
In addition to the first, she also
won the improvisation award.
" Winning the improvisation
award really gave me encourage·
ment. It takes a lot of fast thinking
and musical rhythm, and I
couldn't believe the judges chose
my song over the others," ad·
mitted Priebus.
On a confident note, Priebus en·
tered the Yamaha Festival in Chi·
cago in 1983. This time playing
Bach's "Joy," she received an·
other first place and then moved
up to the Midwest Yamaha Elec·
tone Festival in Rockford, Illinois.
At regionals, using the same
song, she harmonized a second
place and a chance to be an alter·
nate at the national competition in
Las Vegas, Neveda.

Priebus spent seven to eight

Duos double best friends
Whether donning matching
"Double Trouble" T -shirts or dou·
bling up for the defensive block in
the big Bradford football game,
senior twins traveled together,
typical of best friends.
"Even though we don't look
anything alike, I personally love
being a twin," commented senior
Julie Andreoli , while her twin
brother senior John Andreoli
grinned from behind her.
Fraternal twins, John and Julie
found it difficult to convince peo·
pie that they were brother and sis·
ter, let alone that they shared the
same birthday. Although these
twins did not look alike, they ex·
pressed a special kinship.
"It's a great benefit to have a
brother so close to you to answer
those guy/ girl questions and to
give his sincere opinion," ex·
plained Julie.
Entering the world 12 minutes

brother role as early as third
grade. Julie either tagged along or

had no choice but to be John's
partner in many one·on·one bas·
ketball games. Competition be·
tween them strengthened in athle·
tic and later in academic areas.
With Julie's English knowledge
and John's mathematical in·
stincts, brother helped sister and
sister, in turn, helped brother.
"Everyone says we're always
together, and I suppose we are.
It's great having your best friend
there whenever you need him,"
remarked senior Craig Burns
about twin brother senior Rick
Burns.
As Rick grabbed the car keys
and Craig counted his cash, the
brothers headed out the Com·
mon's door to beat the fifth hour
lunch crowd. At the sight of this
twosome, students and teachers
did a double take.
For these identical twins,
switching classes posed no problem. "Last year we switched for
sixth hour, but this year we have
four of our classes together and
can only switch English class,"
added Rick.
Only students with a keen eye
and some detailed knowledge separated the two. When shouldered
up, right-handed Rick towered a
whole inch taller than left-handed
Craig, whose face appeared thinner than Rick's did. Also, Craig's

athletic ability challenged Rick

Carrie Ouimet expressed, "We'rt

In gymnastics, diving and Po11
der Puff football, the dual team of
Carrie and Theresa paired up for
action. Even though they shared a
close resemblance and friendship
Carrie and Theresa contrasted per·
sonal traits.
"Carrie never lets me live down
the fact that she's skinnier than
me or that I have the bigger nose,'
said Theresa, "but at least I get
better grades than she does."
At home, Theresa straightened
the house only to discover that
Carrie's casual habits messed it
up. Yet, personal grooming and
fashion topped Carrie's list.
Double dribble, double time.
double deal, double play, all such
expressions held special signifi.
cance to the Andreolis, Burns and
Ouimets. From eating a double· ,
decker pistachio fudge ice cream
to double dating on a Friday night,
being together doubled the plea·
sure for the Class of 1986 senior
twins.

Pitts cites teen issues for News
From James Dean in " Rebel
Without a Cause " td " The Breakfast Club~' righ school students
have cla~jc-'iOilly viewed social and
political issues differently than
parents. Domina ted by the opinions and reports of adults, newspapers neglected the views of high
sc hoolers. In June though ,

Checking some interview notes at t he Kenosha N ews building. seni or Jane Pitt s

Tremper students gained a roving
eye analyzing today's news issues
- senior Jane Pitts.
Selected from two Tremper representatives, Pitts acquired the
position of the Kenosha News
Youth News Reporter after Bradford's John Cronce concluded his
annual term . Eligibi lity shifted

prepares her J anuary 10 aparth eid story
for her editor Geo rge So v i tzk y .

from St. Joseph 's to Bradford to
Tremper , consequently passing
the opportunity to a Tremper student.
Pitts ' participation in Tempest
newspaper, Junior and Senior
C lass Advisory Boards , plus
French Club and Spirit Board for
three years added up to the needed qualifications.
With recommendations from
the instructors of the Classic year·
book and Tempest, the two repre·
sentatives were interviewed by
George Sivitski , author of Keno·
sha News ' " Let George do it. "
After hiring Pitts, Sivitski edited
her stories and showed her the
ropes of the job. '" He is so nice and
u ndersta ndi ng. Even when I made
a mistake, he wouldn 't get mad ,
he'd just help me," Pitts said .
In submitting her articles , Pitts
scheduled her interviews with her
story subjects and then organized
the information into a " no-mistake
interv iew" as Pitts described it.
Then , she cranked out the copy
and turned it over to Sivitski . 'Tm
reall y lucky, because I've never
had a story turned back ," said

they change them into some really
queer things ," laughed Pitts.
The reporting position paid $35
a week , but the major benefits
were not monetary . "It's not much
money , but the flexible hours al lowed me to work around my
weekly schedule," explained Pitts.
The News ran Pitts ' articles in
Youth News Section every Friday .
Her stories covered such topics as
Bradford-Tremper trips to France,
the influences of modern music ,
major TV broadcasting and St.
Joe's male cheerleaders .
Though Pitts was undecided
about continuing in journalism ,
she planned to continue in an English field .
" Being a reporter for the paper
was not only a great experience,
but I think it'll make a good reference for jobs in the future ," concluded Pitts.

Sivitski did not limit Pitts in her
coverage, but the Kenosha News
retained the right to alter the head·
lines of her stories. " They have to

" I believe I'll be in armed con·
flict before I'm 30. The way I look
at it, I'd rather be ready for battle
before the fact instead of being
drafted, " commented senior Pete
Olep, a 1986 appointee to the
United States Naval Academy in
Annapolis , Maryland.
The Naval Academy's stan·
dards demanded a combination of
good academic performance, ath·

letic talent and leadership. Olep, a
member of the National Honors
Society with a 3.8 grade point
average, Defensive Player of the
Year in the Big 9 Conference and
participant in Wisconsin's Badger
Boys State leadership camp, ful·
filled all three of the Academy's
standards.
Olep combined academic skill
and athletic talent. Ron Davies,
head coach of Tremper football
and one of two staff members who
wrote recommendations for Olep
to the Academy, described Olep
as " one of the finest defensive
players I have ever seen at the
high school level."
Gaining an appointment to An·
napolis required hours of effort,
especially paperwork. In the
spring of his junior year, he wrote
the Academy for a precandidate
questionnaire. On the questionnaire, Olep answered questions
concerning his SAT and ACT
scores, his academic performance
at school, and activities in which
he was involved .
After the Academy reviewed
the application, it scheduled Olep
for the Physical Aptitude Exami·
nation. Scoring average or above·
average on tests such as the bas·
ketball throw, pull-ups and standing long jump, he proved his fitness to the Naval Physical Exami·

nation Board. Once Olep passed a
health check-up, the Academy ac·
cepted him into the program.
Besides needing the Academy's
approval, Olep also had to obtain
either a Congressional Nomination
or a Vice-Presidential Nomination.
Olep wrote to Senators Robert
Kasten and William Proxmire and
to Congressman Les Aspen for
nomination applications. After fill·
ing out the applications, Olep
waited for approval from one.
Senator Kasten went through
100 applications, reviewing them
closely. Out of the 100, he chose
10 to be interviewed .
"When I sent the application in,
I became nervous about being in·
terviewed in person by Kasten. As
it turned out, he interviewed me
over the phone rather informally,"
remarked Olep.
Olep received the top nomina·
tion out of Kasten 's 10 approved
applications and was informed in
February, 1986.
At Annapolis, Olep planned to
major in electrical engineering.
After his four years, he intended
to enter pilot training.
"My four-year education at An·
napolis will be one of the best of·
fered by colleges, and it's also at
the best price around, free," con·
eluded Olep.

Pageant crowns Jobie efforts
Grasping the envelope , the emcee smiled. A hush of silence
swept over the audience. With
hands clenched together, the last
two standing semi -finalists held
their breath. " . .. And the 198586 Miss Wisconsin Job 's Daughters is Jennifer Lynn Goergen of
Bethel 77! "
As the crowd roared with excitement and all eyes turned to
her, junior Jenny Goergen felt her
stomach sink. Thinking back , she
remembered how being crowned
Honored Queen of Bethel 77 on
June 1, 1985, had meant so much
to her. She had never dreamed she
would get this far! Even when she
first joined Job's Daughters at age
eleven , she remembered thinking
to herself, " Wow , I could never
become an Honored Queen like
her." Of course, had it not been
for Mom McClelland , the Job's
Daughters guardian, and Jenny
Quinn, the past Honored Queen ,
" I would have never known how
to prepare for the ritual competition . They gave me so much encouragement and confidence, I
will never be able to thank them
enough."
As the emcee placed the crown
on her head and the roses in her
arms , Goergen reflected back to
the four stations of inner guard,
third messenger, recorder and
chaplain . After two years of dedi-

cation to these stations, Goergen
was elected into line, where she
resided as Marshall , Guide, Junior
Princess and Senior Princess.
Those first two years at work
meant just as much as the last
three at the top .
Her mind spun with self
achievements as the cameras
flashed perpetually . She realized
how much Job's Daughters influenced her life. Compared to the
other girls who were not affiliated
with the Jobies, she felt that the
Order had cultivated her " attributes as a young lady along with
better manners, respect for elders ,
loyalty to the flag and love for all
the world ." If only she could express , as she walked up the aisle,
all the gratitude overwhelming
her!
Reminiscing on the past Jamboree Weekend held in Green Lake,
Wisconsin , on September 6-8, she
thought of the written test consisting of more than 100 questions on
the history and organization of
Job's Daughters. The answer to
number three still boggled her, but
this was certainly not the time to
fret over it.
Flashing back to the ritual competition in which she had chosen
the third messenger's selection,
she had related the temptations of
Job. "It wasn 't too hard to memo-

third messenger three years earlier," Goergen commented later.
Reaching the end of the platform, she paused . In the midst of
the 1,800 faces , she spotted her
mom beaming with pride. As she
turned to walk back , the stage
grew cloudy .
A tear rolled down her cheek
and fell on her arm , reminding her
of " The Question " she had received. It dealt with the topic of " I
am only one; but I am one." Because this motto so strongly stated her personal commitment, the
emotion of her answer had spread
through the building. Goergen's
clear voice and vivid hand motions stirred the audience to tears
and punctuated her response . In
short , Goergen emphasized with
conviction , "What you put into
Job's Daughters is what you get
out of it."

Razzle dazz with all that jazz
" Keep on dancing and never
lose your expectations for recogni tion ," stressed the cast of 42nd
Street, the show which junior Sue
Aceto attended at the Milwaukee
Performing Arts Center on August
10, 1985. With this advice and
five-years experience, Aceto pivoted toward becoming an accomplished jazz dancer.
As a member of a Kenosha
dance troop called The Company,
Aceto has heard the inside stories
from the 42nd Street professionals. After the stage performance,
the amateurs proceeded back
stage to meet the cast.
"The dancers seemed to have
so much energy and spunk," said
Aceto. "I couldn 't believe that
after the performance they were
still willing to give up their free
time to talk to people like us."
Shuffling her way through jazz
lessons taught by Julie Widner at
St. Mark 's School and Gus Giordano of Chicago boosted Aceto on
to better things such as The Company, Choraliers, Madrigals and

the 1984-85 musical Oklahoma.
The Company consisted of 24
men and women , between the
ages of 14 and 27 . At age 14
Aceto recieved a notice which
asked if she would like to try out
for The Company.
" I can still picture myself standing before five judges with my
knees shaking as 'Send in the
Clowns' began to play, " remem bered Aceto.
Under the direction of Julie
Widner, The Company has presented " One," "Officer Krupke "
and " American Trilogy" at yearly
stage performances for St. Mark 's
School and Shows-a-poppin.
Aceto's involvement with The
Company has sprouted into assisting Julie Widner with jazz lessons for six to ten-year-old children . Twenty tots skipped into St.
Mark 's School for their one-hour
dance class on Mondays and
Tuesdays.
"Helping the kids is the high
point of my week," explained
Aceto. " They remind me of my-

self because of their enthusiasm."
Aceto also was Choralier dance
captain . " As dance captain, I lead
warm-ups, which loosen the neck ,
arms, waist and legs, and I position each individual in the dance
formation, " explained Aceto.
Aceto reserved three nights a
week for limbering exercises
along with jazz turns and leaps. " I
also try to dedicate an hour to ballet for more ankle strength ," said
Aceto.
" All my efforts pay off when I
see the smiles and hear the ap-

plause or when one of my kids
receives recognition for dancing
skills," Aceto concluded.
High -stepping toward a little variety,
Sue Aceto instructs jazz students in a
step·swing combinatior.

Page paves route to politics
"My immense interest in politics, along with my desire to know
the inner-workings of the government, influenced me to seek out
the position of page," remarked
junior James "Arnie" Quinn, who
worked for Senator William Proxmire from July 1 to August 31,
1985, in Washington, D .C.
Quinn initiated his quest for the
job by writing to Senator Proxmire
for an application. After filling out
the application, he sent it, a copy
of his school transcripts and an
essay on why he wanted to become a page. Proxmire's staff reviewed nearly 1000 applications,
but chose only 32, with Quinn's
among them. Finally, the staff in·
terviewed the 32 chosen students,
selecting six to be pages. " In the
beginning of the interview, I was
really nervous. The person who
questioned me asked me many

questions about my school involvement . When I told him about
my experience in debate, he
seemed interested. I relaxed and
answered all of his other questions
easily," stated Quinn.
As a page, Quinn performed

menial duties, such as fetching
the Senator water and running errands . However, when votes on
particular bills surfaced , Quinn
usually relayed these messages to
Senator Proxmire.
"On one occasion, a bill, pro-

posed by Senator Grassley of
Iowa, was an amendment to a pre·
vious bill that allowed Congress to
veto any appropriations to the De·
fense Department. It called for the
right of Congress to veto any ap·
propriations to any department.
Senator Proxmire had not heard
about the amendment. As a result,
I had to track him down and fill
him in on the provisions of the
bill," explained Quinn.
Working in D.C. this summer,
Quinn earned approximately
$1500 in the two-month period.
However, this apparently lucra·
tive amount dwindled quickly.
During his stay, Quinn payed
$500 a month for his boarding
house room and also dished out
$200 a month for food. Therefore,
Quinn pocketed only $100.
While some people would have
felt gypped by a $100 gain for two
months' work, Quinn felt that the
job rewarded him tremendously.
"Those who were there didn 't go
for the purpose of making money;
they were interested in increasing
their political and governmental
knowledge," Quinn emphasized.
Quinn deemed that the future
reserved a spot for him in politics.
"I would like to represent Wiscon·
sin on a national level, either in the
Senate or in the House of Repre·
sentatives," concluded Quinn.

Down on Steinbrink's farm
The odor of manure flooded the
air as the cows bellowed in a cho·
rus of moos. As the sun rose, it
reflected off hay, grain and wheat ;
these crops blanketed the sur·
rounding land and stretched
across the horizon as far as the
eye could see. Suddenly , an im·
posing figure of 6 feet, 4 inches
and 215 pounds appeared . Junior
John Steinbrink did not scrunch
up his nose at the odor, nor did he
marvel at the vast countryside, for
they were a part of his everyday
life on the farm.
Many people have pictured
farm life as dull and backward
from modern society. Steinbrink,
who has lived his entire life on a
farm , painted a different portrait.
" The whole farm is computerized
and automated. There's a ma·
chine for almost every job," com·
mented Steinbrink. The comput·
ers facilitated a variety of farm·
related tasks, including counting
gallons of milk produced , budget·
ing annual income and projecting
annual yields and losses.
Also, the physical labor in·

volved in farming has decreased
to the surprise of many. Eliminat·
ing a once laborious task , the
Steinbrinks daily milk 80 cows in
an hour due to the development of
the automatic milking machine.
Machinery, like combines nearly
two stories in height, had the ca·
pacity to do numerous jobs, in·
eluding seeding, bailing hay and
reaping crops. In addition to their
enormous size, these farm ma·
chines amounted to big bucks. A
single machine cost close to
$200,000.
As the days rolled on and the
weather changed, the work on the
farm shifted accordingly . In
spring, the Steinbrinks planted
seed for various crops, such as
corn and wheat. The transition to
summer brought bailing hay .
Next, the harvesting of the pre·
viously sown crops required atten·
tion in the fall. However, farming
did not stop with the harvest, it
was a year·round job. As winter
arrived, the cattle had to be cor·
ralled inside for the entire season .
The disadvantages of farm life

did limit Steinbrink 's time. He said
that , in fact, farm life had inter·
fered not only with his homework
but also his extra -curricular ,
school·related activities. For ex·
ample, Steinbrink practiced for
football every day after school un·
til 6 p .m . Thus , he sometimes had
to stay up until 11 p .m. finishing
his homework because he tended
to his farm duties immediately
upon returning home.
On the other hand, Steinbrink
insisted that the farm contributed
to his knowledge. "On the farm I
have learned a great deal about
machinery repair, computers and
management skills. Many teen·
agers never get a chance to work
every day at improving these
skills," claimed Steinbrink. In par·
ticular, his experience in repairing
machinery enabled him to tinker
around with his own car engine,
thus saving Steinbrink money
from car repair problems.
With the American farmers '
present condition lying in crisis,
one would wonder about the Stein·
brink farm 's stability. "We don't

feel threatened by the crisis, since
we have a farm of close to 800
acres ,
explained Steinbrink .
Also, the Steinbrinks possessed
80 milking cows and 120 beef
cows, as well as exporting 80,000
bushels of grain in 1984. Stein·
brink added, "Seventeen percent
of American 's produce close to 80
percent of total agricultural out·
put. I believe the small farmer will
die out, and the large farmer will
take over total production."
Though having its differences,
farm life paralleled any other life·
style. " I feel no different than my
friends or anyone else. My life is
typical of an everyday teenager ,"
concluded Steinbrink .

most of junior Jennifer Davis'
time in Beijin'g, Ch ina in the summer of 1985. .f'rom June 28 to A ugust 9 , Davis w itnessed life in

In January of 1983, American

selected her parents George and
Virginia Davis to reside in China
for a period of two to three years.

After riding a chair lift to the top of Fra grant Hill in China, junior Jennifer Davis
pays one yen, or 30 cents to ride the horse
for a better view of t he area .

High sen iority qualified Mr. Davis
fo r an initial screening.
In March of 1983, the Dav ises
and two other Kenoshan families
set fligh t for Beijing, China . Earlier
that year, AMC had signed a joint
venture w ith the Beij ing Jeep Corporat ion and transferred these employees over to the Jeep plant to
help modernize the Jeep industry
in China .
On subjects such as shopping,
clothing and prices, Chinese culture contrasted Kenoshan culture.
Instead of driving to the near-by
Regency Mall, Davis strolled into
tailor shops for her main source of
silk blouses, jackets and pants. " I
was so impressed at how cheap
everything was, and yet, the quality of clothing was much better
than any name brand fashion
bought in Kenosha ," remarked
Davis with a hint of enthusiasm in
her voice.
Schools in China also contrasted the American educational process. Because the government
provided for public education , everyone attended school through
eighth grade. However, since Davis had already completed eighth
grade, the Chinese offered only
technical or boarding school to
her, as with Ch inese youth .
" That didn't appeal to, me and I
would have had a difficult time

understanding what was taught
since Chinese and French were
the main languages spoken," Davis commented .
Among afternoon ac tivities, Davis zipped off to the British Embassy Pub in hopes of shooting a
bull' s-eye in darts on Wednesdays.
Every other Monday, the discotheque topped her night life. Current American songs rocked the
dance floor.
" It was not easy being an
American blond in a -Chinese
country," Davis recollected . Elderly Chinese people often ap·
proached her since they had never
seen an American before. " The
Ch inese believe that by touching
an American 's skin and hair, good
fortune, prosperity and longevity
will come their way ."
On different occasions , two
grandmothers had asked Davis,
through hand motions, \_O hold
their baby and bless it with her
caress. " Even little children came
running up to touch me! " Davis
explained with a grin.
Apart from little tykes , Davis
dealt calmly with the Chinese men
that approached her. " If a man
ever came up to me and I didn 't
feel like being bothered , I simply
looked at him and said , 'Wo bo di.'
In English, this means ' You are a
rotten turtle egg.' The men would

walk away , embarrassed and often offended."
Setting the unpleasant aside,
Davis elaborated on the Great
Wall of China. " It was one of the
best things I've seen . . . in my
whole life! We were allowed to
climb it and take photos of it. It
was said to be six horses thick and
seemed about eight feet tall. The
guards were even friendly . We got
to shake their hands, and they answered all k inds of questions. " Davis continued , " It truly represents
the heart of China and all the pride
and care they have for their country ."
mDavis concluded that the trip
was very educational. " I was able
to learn how different people live
and how lucky we are to have
what we do, yet Americans seldom realize all that we have in
comparison to other cultures."

Barking up the right tree

With handler Brian Holland. coon dog
Spot bays at a treed raccoon.

One hour after dusk Friday and
Saturday evenings, October
through February, junior Dan Gurgol trailed through the fields in Ke·
nosha County. Decked out in a
miners cap , hiking boots and dungarees, he clenched his .22 caliber
Winchester in his right hand .
His left hand held two vitally
important treeing walkers, Penny
and Spot. Treeing walkers are a
rare breed of hunting dogs used
specifically for tracking raccoons.
" Treeing walkers are really a coon
hunter ' s best friend ; without
them , there would be no such
sport," commented Gurgol.
When Gurgol and his Mississippi uncle, Jim Yancey , who intro·
duced him to the sport five years
ago, hit the trail , they released the
dogs. The job now depended on
the noses of the dogs to sniff out
the coons .

" After we released the dogs, the
only thing we can do is wait and
hope that our dog isn 't barking up
the wrong tree," punned Gurgol.
As Penny and Spot chased the
raccoons up a tree, their husky
bark swung into a high pitched
yip , signaling that they had successfully treed the coons.
" One time when I heard the
dogs barking , I got excited and ran
across what I thought was snow ,
but when the ice cracked , I was
really in a pond of manure. Before
I knew it, I was up to my neck in
cow pies! " laughed Gurgol.
W ith the coon huddling in a
tree , the hunters easily spotted his
eyes glowing in the dark . Gurgol
aimed his .22 caliber Winchester
and blasted the coon right be·
tween the eyes to protect the $40
hide.
When Gurgol and Yancey com-

pleted the catch , they skinned the
coons and took the hides to a dealer where they received up to $40
per hide. Prices varied depending
on the quality of the hide and the
rareness of the game that year.
Competition-wise, Gurgol did
not shoot for first place, instead
he aimed to learn more about the
sport. Nevertheless, he received
first place out of four at a coonhunting competition in New Munster, Wisconsin . " I wris happy
with first place, but the tnril! of
my trip was when another hunter
offered me $1000 for my treeing
walker," Gurgol bragged .
With up to $40 a hide, a serious
coon hunter trapped big bucks in
a good season . " Ya , the money is
good, but I do it because I really
like to go out there with my
friends and have a good 'ole
time," concluded Gurgo~.

Never envisionmg that three
consecutive nights and the morning of Homecoming would be
burned up constructing a float,
the sophomore class moved in.
Among other class floats, the
sophomores' " Trojan Power-Cookin' Up a Victory" ranked third .
" The sophomore class advisory
board of 20 worked nine hours at
Gina Boyd's garage. Within the advisory, we formed small committees which were responsible for
various sections of the float. The
product certainly didn't march
through the parade with flying colors, but I think the sophomore advisory had a good time putting it

together," stated junior class sec·
retary Tracy Lopas.
Baking up bucks, the under·
classmen raised $110.41 from
sales of cookies, cakes and candies.
At the Dance-athon on April 18,
34 sophomores cooked on the
dance floor. Collectively, they
raised $550. Sophomore, junior
and senior dancers grooved from
3 p.m. to 11 p .m . to the tunes of

Several sophs manned the coat

In spite of the Fall and Winter
Sports Assemblies when the sophomores' cheering was barely audible, they overcame their split-seating and displayed eight signs to
show their apathy toward upperclass cheers at the Spring Sports
Assembly on April 10. " YAWN,"
"BOO," " HISS" and " WIMP"
signs dotted both sides of the gym
as the seniors and juniors chanted
"S-P-1-R-l-T, spirit leads to victory."
Sophomores demonstrated to
upperclassmen that the class of

Filing away J.A.P.
Early in the fall, signs urged the
junior class members not to be
part of the J.A.P. J.A.P. referred
to the Junior Attitude Problem
that plagued the class of '87 and
pushed them to get involved in
junior class activities.
Stuffing chicken wire on Home·
coming morning, October 12, ten
juniors appeared for a last·ditch
effort on "Bury the Ca ts ."
Equipped with sound·effects of a
dying cat, the $75 float crept in at
second place.
"We really didn't have an attitude problem . We just had a prob·
lem of getting together as a whole
and accomplishing work . Look at
how well the class did with fund
raisers to pay for Prom, " summa·
rized President Stacey Stanich.
Brightening Prom prospects,
the juniors totaled $1665.56 by
selling candles. Candy bars also
sweetened the profits with
$1280.59. Trojan key chains rang
up $165. Kazoos also brought in
$203. Collectively, they raised
$3314. 15 to create "A Night Gone
With the Wind" on May 9. Prom

expenses reached $2500.
Although Prom building started
eight weeks before , junior class
cooperation did not start until two
weeks prior to Prom . Juniors
spent their nights hammering
nails and painting murals until 11
p .m . in the Commons.
"Thursday night we were at
Prom building until 12:30 a.m.,
not to mention having to be back
here the next morning at 5:30 a.m .
Even with 50 kids and ten parents
helping through the day, we were
worried we might not have fin·

" The powder sprayed out from
under my skies after every cut
through the tight gates. The barn·
boo poles shattered behind me
from my sharp turns. I knew it
was a great run , but I had no idea
it was that good ," said enthusias·
tic sophomore Antony Bruno.
At the age of 12, Bruno 's time
shot him into the 14th spot of
NAST AR (National Standard
Race) giant slalom held in Key·
stone, Colorado. This score iced
his skies for serious training .
At Americana Ski Resort , Bru·
no competed on a team of three in
the giant slalom , accumulating
points to be tallied for a composite
score at the end of each season .
When Bruno placed 14th in the
NAST AR competition , he had
skied solely for fun. " It was the
thrill of knowing if I screwed up
that I could be hurt. It was me
against the hill."

worst I' ve done is break my
thumbs and my toes . I just know

Since his placing in the NAS·

sights uphill. Combined with three
years of intense skiing , Bruno also
attended lessons instructed by
Racine Park High School ski

Gymnast flips to Nationals
Turning cartwheels since the
age of three, sophomore Nancy
Plaskett has always enjoyed the
challenges of gymnastics. Her
ability , coupled with her rigorous
training schedule, has vaulted her
to Class One level competition
and two Wisconsin gold medals.
Traveling across the nation to
compete twelve times during the
year, Plaskett has landed many
awards and marks of excellence.
In March, 1984, she captured the
Class Two Indiana State Championship in the All -Around Competition, as well as taking the firstplace medal in the Indiana State
Games.
Then , in August, her threemember team packed their leotards for the A.A .U. National Junior Olympics in Florida. There
they placed third in the nation as a
team.
Finally, at the Wisconsin State
Games during the summer of
1985, Plaskett nailed down two individual golds and a silver en
route to placing second in the AllAround .

Plaskett, who began her gymnastics lessons at the Carmel
Academy of Gymnastics in 1978,
has trained at Scamps Gymnastics Inc. in Kenosha for the past
year and a half. She jumped,
leaped and flipped for three hours
a day, four days a week , during all
twelve months of the year. Twoand-one-half weeks before a meet,
she stepped up her three-hour
workout to an every-night schedule.
Her training consisted of, first, a

general warm-up, including backbends , handstands and splits.
Then she drilled on each of the
three gymnastics' apparatuses:
the balance beam, uneven bars
and vault . She also perfected her
floor routine of round -offs , back
handsprings and back flips. When
it came down to choosing a favorite event, Plaskett showed no preference. " All four events are exciting and helpful. The beam sharpens my balance, the bars
strengthen my arms and the vault

88
and floor exercise give my legs the
power they need," explained Plaskett.
For the past two years, Plaskett
has competed at the Class One
level, which is one level below
world-class rankings. Despite this
fact and her other accomplishments, she did not think that the
Olympics lay out on the mat in
front of her.
"Getting to the Olympics involves too much work. I would
rather concentrate on getting a
gymnastics scholarship. College
competition is what I'm aiming
for, " concluded Plaskett.

Nancy Plaskett leaps into a flyin g split at

Cyclist sprints to Nationals
Pedaling for five years, sophomore Kevin Knautz has streaked
across finish line after finish line
to amass 15 trophies and over 30
medals. This tally mounted an
even more impressive record because it included two second
place finishes at the Wisconsin
State meets in 1984 and 1985. His
second place in 1985 dashed him
into a qualifying birth at the National meet in Indianapolis, Indiana.
"I like the feeling of the work
and the exertion that I put into
cycling," remarked Knautz.
Knautz began competitively
bike racing at age ten when a
friend encouraged him to race in
the one lap novice race. "I had no
racing experience except for riding a couple of times around the
track. In my first race, I couldn't

believe it when I took first. Since
then, I've been rolling right
along," said Knautz.
The bike racing season in Wisconsin lasted from June 1 until
September 14. To prepare for this
three-month season, Knautz
trained all-year around. Lifting
weights every other day, riding his
exercycle every day and speedskating every Saturday were all
part of Knautz's winter regime.
Then, when the first signs of
spring melted the snow, he bolted
out on his Schwinn Paramount
road cycle for 40 to 50 miles a
day, five days a week.
Entering the 1986 cycling sea·
son, the National Cycling Feder·
ation of Wisconsin and Northern
Illinois ranked Knautz number one
in the 13 through 16 age group.
"Taking second two years in a

row was great, but this year I want
the gold medal for the state championship," commented Knautz .
Racing to the future, Knautz
envisioned a possible Olympic position out on the track. 'Tm definitely shooting for the 1988 Olym·
pies," concluded Knautz.

Sprinting around the Washington Bowl bi·
cycle track, sophomore Kevin Knautz fin·

Class of '88

When summer's heat flicked
on, senior Andrea Cornog and
sophomore Don Kaelber flipped
into action . Although, soaking up
rays at Silver Lake, watching A//
My Children and sleeping until
noon filled the hot summer days
for most vacationing youths,
these two water loving individuals
splashed their summer months
away with the Twin Lakes nation·
ally recognized Aquanuts water
ski team.
Plowing out to Twin Lakes in
February, when most of the
Aquanuts lived as far away as
Florida, only revealed the determination each had to receive another
team first place at the National
Tournament on August 10-11.
Monthly winter meetings consisted of dry practices where the
Aqua nuts learned dance steps and
organized a theme for the show.
This theme conjured up vampires,
witches and monsters. It spellbound the audiences when the 35
skiers splashed out a skit about
Witch Hazel.
When the snow melted and
school came to a close, the height

of the season for the Aquanuts
opened. Bound for Twin Lakes on
June 7, Cornog and Kaelber
plunged into a practice routine of
four hours a day, three days a
week. Practices stretched out with
repetitous warm-up exercises.
Then gradually, the whole team
coasted into the water where they
rehearsed their acts to ship·shape
perfection. Pyramids rose and fell
many times before the skiers
mounted enough confidence to
build them in the show. As the
weeks of summer progressed,
however, the pyramids eventually
towered up to twelve bodies high.
While their friends in Kenosha
competed for the best spot at the
drive-in on Sheridan Road, Cornog
and Kaelber competed for first
place. Starting June 16 with the
Lambs Farm invitational in Liber·
tyville, Illinois, then to the state
competition in Wisconsin Rapids,
and ending August 11 with the national show in Janesville, Illinois,
the Aquanuts skied into second
place all·around.
"When we are watching the other teams compete, and waiting for

our chance to perform, we usually
get into a huddle with our instruc·
tor. He gives a pep talk to get us
psyched up for our performance
and to ease our nervousness, but
once we are out on the water, we
regain our confidence and focus
on doing our best," Cornog ex·
plained.
Aside from competitions, the
Aquanuts entertained their fans
and the residents of the Twin
Lakes area on Wednesdays and
Saturdays at 6:30 p.m. "Weekly
performances are more relaxed
and give everybody a chance to
demonstrate their skills," said
Kaelber.
These casual shows presented
the audiences with stunts such as
pyramids, slalom ballet lines, and
solo acts as Aquanuts skied the
bewitching theme. Costumes
ranged from swimsuits covered
with lightning bolts, to vampire
and witch disguises.
The highly-polished show, per·
formed on August 21 in Twin
Lakes, closed the Aquanuts' sea·
son, and Cornog and Kaelber
coasted back.

Comics swap second-time adventures
From 7 :30 a.m . to 2 :30 p .m .,
black and white schoolbook pages
stared back at Trojan eyes to re·
veal possible answers to pop quiz·
zes . After school hours, however,
sophomore Gerry Orr, junior Dave
Chase and senior Fred Christensen cracked open a more actionpacked book , a comic book.
In December of 1984, Orr started to collect superhero comics for
two reasons. First, he wanted to
start a hobby. Next, he also
wished to swap comic books with
the other collectors in his study
hall. The transition from his first
G.I. Joe No.24 to the Invincible
lronman No. l was profitable.
"The highest price that I've
paid for a magazine was the lronman No. I for $35. I then turned
around a couple months later and
sold it for $45," said Orr.

like The New Mutants, X-men and
Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spiderman at Sentry on 22nd A venue
and trading them at the Comic
Emporium , located at 2311 Roose·
velt Road , Orr soon learned the
negotiable value of comics .
" The most unusual incident
that has happened to me is that
somebody offered me $300 for my
Hulk No. 1," said Orr.
Another comic collector, Christensen , has expanded his collec·
tion to over 300 comics valued at
over $40,000. Collecting since age
six , Christensen preferred the new
characters over the old ones be·
cause new characters appear
more realistic and are more hu·
man in nature.
" My favorite character has always been Batman. He is dark,
mysterious and menacing. His parents were killed by a criminal , so
he dedicated his life to make sure
that no one else suffers what he
has, " remarked Christensen.
On the average, the older the
magazine is the more valuable in
price.
Comic buffs, like Chase, who
has a $1000 collection , know that
the most popular comic books are
the Marvel superheroes. The Action Comics No. l is now valued at
$17 ,000.
" We just sold a 1962 Amazing

Fantasy No.15 in which Spider·
man first appeared for $350 and a
1963 Amazing Spiderman for
$350," recalled salesman M ike
Benicheck of Comic Emporium .
A few years back , Christensen
went to a Doctor Who convention
at which he entered his three dimensional drawing of Batman in a
contest for a Batman comic book
worth over $30,000.

" When they announced t he win·
ner of the contest, I really flipped
because it was me. I couldn 't be·
lieve that my drawing actually
won something this big! " said
Christensen.

Synchronizers en route to St. Louis
Outfitted in swimsuits, bathing
caps, nose clips and goggles,
sophomores Tara Mason and Alli·
son Metton immersed themselves
in the K.Y.F. pool, while most
Tremperites savored the sweater
season. One to two hours a day,
October through June, Mason and
Metton synchronized with 10 oth·
er swimmers at the K.Y.F. pool.
As members of the Dorados, a
synchronized swimming team
formed in October, Mason and
Metton displayed the willpower
and endurance to attend practices
four times a week . "At times the
choice between Alvin and the
Chipmunks and a very early Sat·
urday morning practice tended to
be very difficult, but those 7 a.m .

work·outs really paid off," ad·
mitted Metton.
Training filled Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday even·
ings along with the 7 a.m. Satur·
day morning workouts. Under the
instruction of Barb Baker, The
Dorados stroked up to 62 laps in
the K.Y.F. pool just to warm up
for the figures. Stunts such as the
porpoise, the back dolphin, the
Eiffel Tower and the baracuda
sailed through the pool until toe·
pointed perfection surfaced.
" Ms. Baker's strictness and de·
termination wore us out at prac·
tices, but aside from going home
with sore muscles, we usually
went home with a feeling of ac·
complishment," explained Mason.

Practices glided into compefr
tions. The 12·member team en·
countered seemingly bigger·than·
life opponents. Upon arriving at
their first meet in Waukesha , Wis·
consin on November 23, the team
gasped at the 50·swimmer teams.
Discovering that the other teams
had up to nine years of experience
behind them added to the tension
of the Dorados ' premier meet. De·
spite the jitters, Metton somer·
saulted into 11th place and Mason
treaded close behind with 12th out
of 25.
Competition·wise after Wauke·
sha, the Dorados entered meet
number two at Brookfield, Wis·
consin. This time the Dorados per·
formed with confidence.

" Competitions were running
smoother because we felt more se·
cure and our improvements really
showed when I received fourth
and Tara won second ." comment·
ed Metton .
The Wauwatosa meet March 7
and 8 surfaced yet higher ratings
for the Dorados. This time the
team received a second place,
ranking them in the top three syn·
chronized swimming teams in
Wisconsin thus qualifying them
for the regional competition in St.
Louis, Missouri.
"It was so exciting to see our
team improve in such a short
time, and especially to qualify for
regionals ," concluded Mason.

STEPPING 0 UT IN TIME
TIME OUT clocked in at the
2:30 p .m . bell, and the individual
shenanigans that mark only Tro·
jan teens flared like never before.
The off-beat, in·beat and beatless
bounced into fun-time at Silver
Lake, McGreevey's, McDonalds,
Regency Mall and even a Europe·
an cafe.
As the mercury inched up to
summer highs, students took time
to soak in the rays at Silver Lake,
but when the "No Swimming"
signs were stuck in the sand, cars

shifted over to the Keno Drive-In
as night owls watched the flicks
behind the wheel.
September whisked in new stu·
dents, new rules and new topics
for discussion. Parking lot atten·
dants flipped through ticket
forms, forcing students to break
open the piggy bank or retrieve
that stashed "moolah."
Weekends checked in part·time
jobs, scary movies and McGree·
vey's for those in the groove.
Fads dressed girls and guys in

paisleys and broaches, while oth·
ers slipped into the traditional Le·
vi's and sweatshirts. Coca-Cola's
new line of "Red, white, and you"
clothing decked out those who
wanted to wear the "real thing."
Vacations flew by with students
dispersed all around the globe.
Some hit the hot spots, while oth·
er vacations flopped in Kenosha.
Especially during spring break,
seniors visited prospective col·
leges as juniors filled out applica·
tion forms.

Both whispers and yells of
"where it's at" and "what's hap·
penin"' echoed across the Com·
mons and inked a permanent
memory as students snatched or
demanded time out.
TIME OUT measures this teen
tempo at Tremper, much like Sev·

After twenty French students
returned to their homes in Douai,
France, in the spring of 1984, the
American hosts planned a recipro·
cal three-week exchange to Keno·
sha's sister city. Letters flew
across the ocean with news of the

in their heads. Eel comprised din·
ner plates, but students recog·
nized it only after consumption! In
delightful contrast to dinner's sur·
prise entrees, students breakfast·
ed on hot chocolate, croissants
covered with chocolate spread

" I learned more in Douai than
any class could ever teach . Exper·
iencing everyday French lifestyle
increased my ability to compre·
hend and to speak the language,"
claimed junior Cathy Rizzo.
After three weeks with one fam·

BON VOYAGE!
trip. When a bientot or see you
soon ended a letter, June 15 and
Sabena flight #564 stirred excite·
ment among the travelers.
The Americans quickly learned
that French cities miniaturized the
American lifestyle. A grande Ford
LTD drowned the petite Citroen .
However, the students were
shocked to see the narrow streets
in France. "In Paris the streets
were so narrow that sometimes it
took the bus driver five minutes to
maneuver around a corner,•: re·
called senior Julie Brandt.
Eating patterns also contrasted
the American lifestyle . The
French eat their largest meal at
noon. At 8 p .m . or 9 p .m., they
have a small lunch-like meal. Dur·
ing those large meals the travelers
courageously tasted new foods in·
eluding shrimp that still had eyes

while tuning in Smurfs on French

T.V.
Adjusting to European driving
and French cuisine, the girls
found themselves deciphering Eu·
ropean male messages. " We
learned quickly not to smile at
guys on the street. Guys in France
interpret a smile differently, and
we often found ourselves stuck
with a petit ami, "admitted sopho·
more Eileen Brandt.
One of the highlights inevitably
arrived with a weekend in "gay
Paris." "Paris left everyone awed.
I can't explain the excitement of
seeing ' La Tour Eiffel' for the first
time, and actually visiting Notre
Dame cathedral was incredible,"
explained sophomore Kim
Schmitz, "but it was a shame we
only got to spend an hour and a
half shopping."

ily, the Americans developed spe·
cial friendships and made some
interesting observations. Sopho·
more Jeff Evans reported, "Even
though we were a long way from
home, some things didn't change.
Parents and kids riding in a car
argued about radio stations and
volume. Now, that's typical."
As July 8, 1985, approached,
the students reluctantly boarded
the plane to hit the sky·way for K·
town. " Returning to America was
like restarting our lives. We had to
remember how to speak English
and readjust to our old lifestyles.
Even though these cultural
changes had to be made, it was
very difficult to leave behind the
strong friendships created, not
just the two countries, but be·
tween families," summarized ju·
nior Brian Helmke.

Summer

Tanned by the scorching sun
and unable to be refreshed from
the cool, waving waters, teens
heeded signs warning "water not
suitable for swimming. "Usual ac·
tivities at Silver Lake such as
swimming, waterskiing and wind·
surfing limited sunlovers to picnic·
ing or sunbathing since the lake
bacterial count hit six times high·
er than the safe level.
The Assistant Parks Director's
decision to post the park entrance
and beach area with signs on the
week of July 25 disappointed
many students. It forced them to
either just lie back and soak up

the rays, stay home and watch
soaps in an air-conditioned family
room or ignore the warnings and
swim anyway.
The beach reopened August 1,
and beach bums returned once
more to the sand to retan fading
bodies. Girls in bikinis and guys
with dark glasses crammed in
cars and zipped back for a month
more of beach balls, frisbees and
Coca Cola from the concession
stands. "If it wasn't for Silver
Lake, my summer would have
been a real bummer!" concluded
junior Kristen Fox .

Out lookin' for big times
Along with stretch pants, poodle skirts and the twist , the drivein played a major part of the heyday in the fifties and sixties. During the summer of '85, a new generation of teens cruised to the
Keno drive-in.
Soon after June 4, students uncovered a new playground . The
outdoor became a dive at which to
mix and m ingle on a mild summer
night.
The privacy of one 's own car
conquered crowded indoor theaters. The snack bar expanded to
include burgers and nachos, instead of just popcorn and candy .
" What interested me was the better movies for only $1.50! " explained junior Cindy Platt.

Kicking back with French friends, sopho·
more ' Ei leen B randt brea k s from faire
du shopping in do wnto wn Douai t o order
an Orangina at a sidewalk cafe.

Despite the advantages of the
drive-in, t he lack of ushers to dispose of lingering v iewers after the
show ended put a damper on the
evening 's merriment for junior
Stacey Stanich and senior Tracy
Burbach. " During the second or
third movie we dozed off. When I
woke up there was not a single car
parked in the lot. My watch read
5:30 a.m .!" recalled Burbach.
Although a few students could
not recall the movie's plots, most
would admit that overall the drivein lived up to its fifties and sixties
reputation . Keno was surely " the
place to be " as it attracted teens
by the carloads and furnished an
inexpensive, yet rip-roarin ' hangout for dull vacation nights.

New waves splash BIG
What did students do to pass
time on a steamy summer night
when there were no good movies
playing at the air-conditioned theater? The heat of summer brewed
a new discovery, "pool hopping."
" One night when I was bored ,
the guys and I cruised over to Kevin Smith's house and jumped a
jagged fence a few doors down.
Unfortunately, we found a couple
having a romantic evening by the
poolside. Luckily, we escaped by
a close-call!" recalled junior Jeff
Jenkins.
However, not everyone pool
hopped easily. Being a hurdler
would help when trying to clear a
six foot fence in just a few seconds . Like "Kick the Can,"

" Graveyard " and " Hide and
Seek," pool hopping gave high
school girls and guys something
wild to do at night. The illegal aspect made it an even more thrilling without being too criminal.
"Flippers are fun to wear, except when they get caught in the
top of the fence," added junior
Dave Smestad. Chicken fights
turned a tranquil deck into a
screaming uproar until lights suddenly flickered in the adjoining
house. This triggered a swift,
speedy retreat. Whistles sounded ,
and, if lucky, the trespassers
made a clean get-away. Still soggy, the crew searched for other
unknown waters to continue the
frolic .

Heart of a rockin'-rollin' crowd
Boppin' Tremperites topped off
gas tanks and cruised to a Chicago teen hot spot ninety minutes
away. McGreevey's, a dry bar on
the weekends, sizzled with 16 to
21-year-olds ready for the world.
Upon entering the pulsating
hallway, chattering teens shuffled
toward the beating tune of the Via·
lent Femmes' "Gone Daddy
Gone." The deep bass notes carried the light·footed groovers towards the heart of a rockin'-rollin'
crowd. Teens scraped up a five
spot to meet McGreevey's cover
charge.
"At first, I didn't know what to
expect at a dry bar, let alone what
to wear. The friendly disc jockey
made my friends and me feel at
home when he announced our

names and Tremper High School
over the loudspeaker," junior Julie Kuryanowicz commented.

jammed rooms pounded the ear·
drums of everyone from "breakers" to "punkers" to video game
"fanatics."
Poppers ticked and locked to
Run DMC, Fat Boys and Prince in
the soul music room. Down the

hall, Howard Jones, Psychedelic
Furs and the The Blasters
bounced off the walls as slammers
hammered the dance floor.
Whether taking a break from
the steamy dance floor or just po·
lishing up on foosball, the game
room relieved wearied dancers
with pinball machines and video
games along with a pop bar and
booths. The bar poured free soda
during the school year but
charged 25 cents during the summer.
"In the game room, I got a Coke
and played Track and Field while I
grabbed the chance to rest my
pounding ears. There must have
been over 50 other people doing
the same," explained senior Polly
Keyes.

Library shelves gossip
Tedious research papers and
other homework assignments
compelled Tremperites to seek
out K-town's big-time study site,
the Southwest Public Library.
However, much too often students
discovered themselves more
wrapped up in gossip than Comp.
for College. "Going to the library
meant more collecting of recent
hall talk than research material,"
junior Veronica Anderson declared.
As a result, some patient teens
waited their turn to take advan·
tage of the sound-proof study
rooms. Limited to three, such
rooms were difficult to catch empty. Students then chose one of the
many active tables shared by two

or three others in the crowded Ii·
brary.
Often, students did not benefit
from that "essential" run to the
library. Many discovered that the
trip left them still short of a complete assignment.
"Working into the wee hours of
the morning on my English re·
search paper put an end to my
studying at the library because I
never get anything done there,"
commented junior Tim Prince.
"Only people like sophomore
Scott Pias, with a tremendous
amount of self discipline, were
able to say, 'Go away, I have to
get my work done!' I just can't
study at the library," concluded
sophomore Chris Phelps.
Ignoring homework, juniors Linda Richer
and Lisa Gorecki catch up on the latest hall
talk at the Southwest Library.

"The kids there never passed
judgements on outsiders, so it was
easy to be yourself," remarked
senior Kris Eisenhauer.
McGreevey's popularity bub·
bled over as impressed teens
spread the word around school.
Students streamed in from all
over the Chicago area to unwind
after a tedious week of homework.
McGreevey's quenched the under·
aged thirst for nineteen-and-over
Sunnysides and Cagneys.
Senior Amy Wells summarized,
"McGreevey's was a great place
to go, especially because the peo·
pie there knew how to have fun
without drinking. You could dance
whatever way you wanted to with·
out worrying about making a fool
of yourself."

mented that the atmosphere of
the German pubs surprised them.
" When my German host told
me that we were going to a Bier·

cream squeezed through a special
machine to look like spaghetti and
smothered in a tasty sauce. The
pizza fans discovered a small fam·
ily·run pizza parlor, where one
could buy personal pizzas for only
about 50 cents.

Joker" the hottest night spot.
"Jolly" was actually a run·down
warehouse turned into a night
club. Scott Pecha remembered ,
"The first time I saw 'The Jolly
Joker ', I couldn 't believe my eyes.
The place was absolutely packed
with everyone from the wildest
punk rockers right down to the
mellowest hippies! "
The students soon verified the
rumor that it held up to 2,000 peo·
pie on busy nights. Nevertheless,
the cramped conditions only
made the atmosphere friendlier.

into a type of " mohawk ."
By the time the last nights
rolled around and the American
guests had to take time out of the
action to get packed, they appreci·
ated first·hand German night life,
from spaghetti ice to " Jolly" rock .

Whereas the $3.35 minimum
wage often conjured unpleasant
memories of fast-food and another
weekly paycheck totaling a grand
$37.54, volunteer work built selfsatisfaction. These teens accepted
responsibilities of the professional
world at a free fee.
Four Tremper teens observed
new technical skills and gained ex·
perience in contact with people
while employed at Kenosha Memorial Hospital. Not only did vol
unteering offer valuable experience, but it guided students to·
ward possible career choices in

the medical field. Junior Jenny
Mayer worked in the physical therapy department performing duties
such as exercising certain muscles of the body and wheeling patients to and from the therapy department. "Because of the experience I gained from the hospital, I
plan to pursue a career in either
physical therapy or X-ray technology. I was able to find out if I
would really enjoy this line of
work or not," Mayer explained.
Senior Cindy Larsen explained,
"Since schoolwork headed my list
of . priorities, I could only work
three hours a week."
Even if working hours were
minimal, teens encountered di·
verse personalities while training

at the hospital. "I remember when
this hypochondriac kept coming
in and insisting that something
was wrong with him . After politely
sending him away, the doctors
and nurses would laugh after he
left because he came in the emer·
gency room so often, and nothing
was ever wrong with him," chuck·
led junior Eric Jensen.
Teen humanitarians discovered
that voluntary hospital work occupied their spare time, only because they wanted it that way. Junior Lisa Roeder volunteered as a
messenger. She felt the best part
was "helping the children and put·
ting a smile on their faces."

Before delivering patients' nutritional records, junior Lisa Roeder confirms room
numbers with Mrs. Mary Jane Weiss , head
dietician at Kenosha Memorial Hospital.

matter of priorities
cademics, jobs, activities brawl over free time
"I would always be late and
have to ask for days off because
of track . Finally, my boss told me
to choose between work and ex·
tra·curricular activities. I ex·
plained to him that I would rather
work for a college scholarship
than for $3.35 an hour. Now I di·
rect my time towards sports," re·
called senior Jeff Zarletti.
Hardly uncommon, the problem
of scheduling work and balancing
activities proved a dilemma for
students. Employers willing to
change work schedules for the ac·
tive student came few and far be·
tween. Many uncooperative
bosses would not budge. "When
football season started, I told my
boss I would need some time off.

He let me know that I would not be
needed if I couldn't direct my time
towards his job," stated senior
Jack Daniel.
However, not all employers had
problems juggling arrangements
to fit the student's busy life. Ju·
nior Matt Goldberg praised his
managers at the Genuine Article
in the Factory Outlet Centre be·
cause "they've really tried to
work around my activities.
Wednesday nights, for example,
are out because that's the night
Key Club meets."
The resolution to the activities·
versus·work situation frequently
lay with the employer. " I have al·
ways tried to give time off when it
is needed. A job should not take

the place of free time, but rather
add another extra·curricular activ·
ity. A part·time job exists not only
to get the work done, but to make
money and meet people in the pro·
cess," claimed Pershing Plaza
McDonald's manager John Leh·
man.
Yet, denial of that ever·impor·
tant time off resulted in busy stu·
dents coming down with deathly
colds, hacking coughs and other
plaguing illnesses. "There have
been times when I have too much
homework or just don't feel like
going into work, so I call in sick.
So far, I haven't been caught,"
one anonymous junior revealed.
Many students chose not to per·
form the balancing act between

jobs and school involvement and
declined opportunities for employ·
ment. ''I'd choose extra·curricular
activities over a job anytime.
School is so much easier to regu·
late than a job. There may be no
pay, but the personal satisfaction
is enough for me, " commented ju·
nior Damian Marhefka, who him·
self was involved in Madrigals,
Drama and swimming.
Part·time employment helped
many teens gain financial indepen·
dence and job reliability . Along
with a job, though , came the
heavy decision, work or activities.

'/ quit!'

Adding shredded cheese to a beefy tos·
tada, senior Julie Lamminen works twenty
hours a week at Zion's Taco Bell.

After three months of flipping
burgers over a hot stove, junior
Mike Cholak suddenly decided to
throw in his apron. "Umm ... Mr.
Anderson? I just wanted to tell
you that I cannot work here after
tonight. Baseball season is coming
up"' and I will not have time for
both," informed Cholak.
The spontaneous quitter
brought nightmares to a manager
who suddenly found himself alone
in the sbop. Bob Bistrick, manager
of Taco Bell, pointed out that a
worker who quits without proper
notice showed irresponsibility to·
ward his job. Bistrick added,
"Without proper notification, it is
very inconvenient for us because
we have to reschedule the hours
to fill the position."
In pulling the "I quit" trick, stu·
dents found references from past
employers had "do not hire" on
the top. Not only did a two·week
notice reflect some responsibility,
but it also demonstrated depend·
ability to future employers.
So, like the cook who had had it
up to "there" with a greasy grill

and zits, working that extra two
weeks seemed like forever just to
"do things by the book." Senior
Kirk Blaisdell concluded, "When I
quit at K·Mart, I thought it was
kind of funny, but now I regret not
giving notice. It sure would have
been easier to get a reference if I
had."

Sequels haunt teens
Prepared to d ish out $4 at Cine·
ma S's or Market Square, students
lined up to experience a blood·
gushing scene . Killers striking vie·
tims with weapons ranging from
daggers to ice picks horrified
" hatchet·flick " fans . Yet, all the
sequels of Friday the 13th and
Halloween lured teens back to the
movie theaters . Friday the 13th
managed to bring back movie·go·
ers five times and Halloween three
as the blood bath remake followed
blood bath remake. The horror
movies plastered teens to their
seats and stretched their eyes
wide open , or in less courageous
cases , glued shut.
For teenagers who either pre·
ferred the privacy of their own
homes or could not afford to see
every newest film , they all
chipped in for the $2.50 rental fee.
According to Mr. Bernard Eng·
Jund, owner of Allendale Video , fa·
vorite rentals that captured teens
cash included Children Shouldn 't
Play with Dead Things, I Spit on
Your Grave and Faces of Death .
Faces of Death claimed to have
actual footage of people and ani ·
mals dying.
" I see more kids between the

ages of 11 to 18 renting horror
movies than older people. I guess
the younger people get some sen·
sation out of being scared ,"said
Mr. Englund .
Sophomore Jenny Todd added ,
" Apparently , some of my friends
love obnoxious amounts of blood
and guts, while other friends laugh
to tears. "
Most " hatchet·flicks " merely
layer murder upon murder, giving
the movie no time for a story line.
" There is no plot to horror movies.
Movies like Nightmare on Elm
Street have one killing after an·
other," explained senior Rodney
Cowen .
The Attack of the Killer Toma·
toes, a movie about tomatoes kill·
ing people, cut up on horror mov·
ies . " Its a kind of thing that
doesn't happen everyday . Toma·
toes don 't grow legs and jump out
of your garden ," laughed junior
Jennifer De Kok .
Time after time horror flicks
freaked teens who laid down the
cool cash for the sight of big time
blood and guts.

"Where are you going after the
dance?"
"Oh, probably to Mac's, how
about you?"
"Yeh, sounds good ."
Conversations like this reflected
plans for most Trojans; time after
time McDonald's has been the
frying pan for cooking social af·
fairs. McDonald's not only fur·
nished an ideal place to hang out
with friends, but it also sometimes
served as a restaurant. One of the
first midwestern cities to have a
McDonald's, Kenosha raised its
premier golden arches in 1957 on
Sheridan Road . As of October,
1985, K·town boasted five McD's,
a'lthough most Tremperites

paid the check a t e i t h er
Sheridan or Pershing. Cruising to
the one on Highway 50 guzzled
too much gas, and the other two
arched over Red Devil turf.
On school days between 10:30
a.m. and 12:30 p.m., McDonald's
paved a main drive·thru for ju·
niors and seniors who received
the privilege of open lunch. The
basic meal of regular fries, one
hamburger and small Coke cost
only $1.58.
"I go to grip at McDonald's at
least two or three times a week;
it's the place to be with the
prices I can afford," commented
junior Paulette Hemming.
McDonald's extended its

hours from a closing time of 11
p.m. weekdays and 12 a.m.
weekends during the school year
to 12 a.m. weekdays and 1 a.m .
during summer vacation for
those who were suddenly hit
with a Big Mac attack. "Even if I
wasn't hungry, I could always
find someone I knew there, and if
I was lucky, they carried party
info," informed junior Dan Gur·
gol.
When party leads dead·ended,
the Friday night out·on·the·town
inevitably stalled at McDonald's
"dining room." Left only to
shoot the breeze over McD.L.T.s,
teens compared the hot and cool
sides of grilled gossip.

Sweats and Levi's shrink to fit 80's
Painting the halls denim blue,
jeans molded the 80's style, just
as they had since the 50's. Complimented with the traditional
sweatshirt, Levi 's completed the
big-time teen look .
In colonial days of America,
farmers wore blue jeans, while
working. Because they survived
through the dirt of plowing fields
and milking cows, farmers appreciated their dependability ; thus,
the demand for jeans split at the
seams. Sensing this need, Levi
Strauss & Company patented
their work denims on May 20,
1873. From that day on, the jean
market invented pants to suit the
changing moods of teens.
In the 1960's students experienced the bell-bottomed jeans. " I
can 't believe people my age ever

cl

wore bell-bottoms. Whenever 1
watch the ' Brady Bunch' I crack
up! " laughed sophomore Stephenie Schwartz.
However, by the close of the
'70s teens had already rebounded
from the tight look to flares and
back to the straight leg look.
" Highwater" no longer taunted
growing teens as jean pant legs
crept up and tight around the calf.
For the individuals craving
more than just navy blue, Levi's
manufactured their product in
black, gray and bleached colors.
Pinstriping zipped some teens'
jeans. Also, to persuade the older
generation into a purchase, the
company reloaded 501 button
flies on department store shelves.
At the same time, teens dished
out $25 to see what they had

missed . " My 501 's are rugged
enough for working and still stylish enough for school ," remarked
junior Andy Lueck .
To top jeans, teens jogged over
to a nearby store to purchase a
sweatshi rt. Similar to Levi 's,
sweat tops demonstrated their
flexibility by withstanding permanent changes.
First used for warmth on a brisk
October day , the 65 percent polyester, 35 percent cotton article encouraged teens to wear them anytime. From breakdancing to skiing, sweatshirts colored the teen
scene. Forenza, Swatch, and Esprit turned styles inside-out with
their bold colors and geometric designs. " I've got a Guess sweatshirt
that I would never have worn a
year ago, I suppose styles, and my

taste in clothes just change with
time, " added junior Jenny Goergen .
Also sought by Trojans, college
and university sweats remained a
top desire. Hooded shirts stretching as far as L 'Universite de Paris
a Sorbonne and shrinking to as
close as UW-Parkside, marked
school rooms. Only half shirts got
the thumbs down as school officials ruled no bare midriffs or navels.
Even more than sweatshirts, Levi's buttoned up America time
after time. Junior Scott Trottier
concluded," Fads and styles have
changed and will probably keep
changing, but 1 think Levi's will
still be at the top of the list." Or,
should that be at the bottom of the
student?

From baby pictures to person·

signed their names to an autobiog·

Seni or sizzles

Fearless leader
This is dedicated to the Class of
'86, those 525 special people who
have made my three years at
Tremper such a memorable experience. Although I don't know every single one of you, there were
times when I could feel the unity
and specialness we shared . I will
always remember the feeling I had
when we won the spirit bell at the
fall sports assembly. The cheering
and excitement were unbelievable.
S.S. '86 plastered Tremper
High. Everyone could identify the
senior spirit as it roared through
spirit games.
Taking a stroll through memory
lane, there is so much to remember! Think back to our first project
in the big Tremper. If only we
knew then that the sophomore
float foreshadowed three years of
success, unity and friendship.
Even though "Flush the Cats"
was literally flushed by the Class
of '84, it did nothing but bring us
"little sophs" closer to the upperclassmen. I know it was an "axing" experience, but you have to
admit, it was pretty funny.
At one time or another, we were
all teased, but if we reflect back
upon our personal memories, we
can all say, "It wasn't that bad
being a so~h!"
Junior year set in. I was called
"our fearless leader," but fearless
was definitely not the right word.
Homecoming, fund raisers and
prom stared us in the face.
"Scram Ram" kicked off our "unior" year with a first. As the "mid-

die kids, " Tremper was now like a
home, and we felt like we owned
the place . (Sort of!)
New rules faced us. The smoking area was butted out, ISS put
an end to regular suspension's
free time and the no-short rule
heated up the sweltering days.
Nothing could change the rules,
and we learned to roll with the
punches.
May 10, 1985, approached. "An
Evening in the Orient" was implanted in our minds. Seniors
bombarded us with smart comments like "Give it up, our prom
was the best," while sophomores
stood around asking "Prom?
What's prom?" Oh yes, we were
definitely "in the middle!" Well,
guys, we pulled it off and those
red napkins or paper parasols
tucked in your scrapbook will always remind you that the Class of
'86 is truly #1.
Senior year. What can I say?
Again, I was called "our fearless
leader. This time I was prepared.
Toasting our second first,
"Roast the Rams" fired up our
homecoming spirit. To the other
11 homecoming queen candidates, I can only say "Thank you"
for your enthusiasm during our
memorable two weeks of activities. I want you to know that the
Class of '86 made Homecoming
great.
Senior banquet was a riot!

shared are our most valuable as-

Thanks for the memories, the

c~
On February 26, 1968, 3:36
p.m. at Kenosha Memorial Hospital, Chad Bernard Englund
bounced into his parents' arms
and has never stopped since that
day.
As a youngster, Englund
walked to nearby Southport Elementary School. There, he was
elected captain of the sixth grade
safety patrol, thereby, demonstrating his leadership abilities.
After graduating from Southport, Englund trudged to Lincoln
Junior High School. With his talented athletic abilities, he scored
the Indians' basketball team and
hurdled the track team to first
place titles in both sports. Lincoln
also captured third-place in foot.-

Englund
ball with the assistance of Englund playing tight end.
Upon entering high school, Englund joined such extra-curriculars
as Interact club, football, basketball and track. Besides gaining
valuable experience playing football at the high school level, he
also assisted the sophomore team
in becoming the All-Conference
Champions. Protecting the zone,
Englund gained experience as center on the Trojan court.
Because Chad's brother Clint
was competing on Tremper's
sophomore football and basketball
team, the two had many things in
common .
Englund's most embarrassing
and memorable experience hap·
pened on November 21, at the
Winter Sports Assembly. Dunking
a ball, he held on to it a bit too
long, and the backboard smashed
into millions of pieces. The applause from the students overwhelmed the stuffy gym; it was
truly a moment that would never
be forgotten.
After graduation, Englund
planned on going to college and
gaining more athletic experience,
which he laughingly said included
dunking a ball without bringing
the backboard down with him.

Weekend plans
Without money, how did Trem·
perites survive the weekend? Stu·
dents shoved this terrifying night·
mare back into the mind's corner
when money was plentiful,
though.
On Monday, some blew their
dough on two slices of Rocky Roe·
coco's Garden Style pizza and a
large Coke for $3.87. A couple of
stops at Sheridan Road Mac's or
the 80th and 30th Avenue Burger
King throughout the week dug
into pocketbooks and interfered
with spending plans for Friday
and Saturday night. "But where
did I spend it all?" Or, "I must
have dropped a five somewhere."
These frustrated thoughts
bounced within students as ideas
for a freewheeling weekend
crashed into more economic
thinking.
"You just can't go anywhere
fun without cash flow," explained
senior Parrish Williams . "Name it.
Non·Stop in Racine, Old Market
Square movies, or the Friday
night game, they all take bucks."
Thoughts of seeing Rocky IV at
the Cinema went down for the
count as a visit to Viganky's $.99
rental scored as a knock out from
September through November.

crossed Trojan minds. Due to
work·school conflicts, some em·
ployed students' hours were
slashed.
"When soccer started I worked
at Luigi's on Sundays only. This
meant I got a check every other
week. I found out that I now had to
really stretch out the checks,"
stressed senior Dan Wikel.
Discipline in spending ranked
as a top priority for those receiv·
ing a check every two weeks. If
one feasted on the bucks the first
week, the second week resulted in
a famine.
"I went through some pressing
times on that second week with·
out money," chuckled senior Tom
King . "It was almost like a person·
al depression. I had to actually
stay in one whole weekend be·
cause of lack of money!"
A big time priority for weekend
frolic required money and, with·
out it, students got short changed.

A survey of 110 students, 40
sophomores, 35 juniors and 35
seniors, established priorities for
the use of money and the sources
of teen money as charted to the
left.
One half of the sophomores felt
that fashion expenditures were
most important, with banking
money pulling in second. Nine ju·
niors chose to save up for college
as a number one priority and to
bank it second. Although seniors
thought that saving for college
was important, it finished second

behind the fashion craze as , once
again , clothes tallied the number
one choice.
The idea of independence from
parents surfaced in the senior sur·
veys, for they attained money
from jobs, rather than parents'
allowance. Both juniors and soph·
omores relied on jobs less as the
polling indicated the tilt to parent
support.
From piggy banks to bank
branches, teens shifted the loca·
tion of their fortunes with the size
of their incomes.

Stashing cash
Since money topped students'
necessities list, finding a safe
place to stash the cash matched
the importance of earning it.
Startling visions of brothers, sis·
ters or parents borrowing un·
guarded bills left on the dresser
and replacing them with "1.0.U."
notices prompted Trojans to take
drastic measures.
"A lot of good '1.0.U.s' will do
me at Regency Mall ," said sopho·
more Nancy lsetts with pursed
lips and a shake of the head. "I
found it was high time I put a stop
to the raiding of my piggy bank,
so now I hide my money in my
second left-hand drawer. "
Sometimes outfoxing family
members backfired . A hasty hid·
ing place could result in some
mysterious disappearance. Senior
Dave Wilk experienced this mis·
fortune at an early age of seven. "I
once put my money in a model
airplane , and when I went to get it,
I found out my mom had given the
plane away! "
Some, though, outsmarted
snoopers. Those with the well ·
schemed hideaways always redis·
covered the cash intact. "I always
keep my money in my lingerie
drawer; that way, I'll never forget

where I hid it, " confessed senior
Kris Eisenhauer.
Not willing to expose their
prized stash spots , students pre·
ferred to remain anonymous in re·
vealing the locations. An anony·
mous junior disclosed, "I file the
bills in an envelope, tuck the enve·
lope in a book and conceal the
book in the attic." A different ju·
nior who wished to remain name·
less said,"I disassemble an electri·
cal outlet in the wall and fold the
bucks inside it."
Those who lost track of their
money in "too good of a spot"
sometimes pleasantly redisco·
vered it years later. Junior Steve
Palmer said, "I used my money as
a bookmark, and five years later I
finally read the book and found
it!"
Others' luck went bankrupt,
however, when vaulting the cold
cash too well. Senior Steve Wierz·
bicki chuckled,"! hid my money
so someday I would clean my
room and find it, but I never got
around to cleaning my room_!"
Hiding places either paid off or
"burnt" the student, but students
with the common Tootsie Roll
bank risked vulnerability and the
discovery of unwanted "1.0.U.s."

" Not much man, how did you

" I pinned the squid in 28 sec·

floppin ' all over the mat! "
" Sounds like he was a real pup·
py, how did he ever make
weight?"
"I bet his mommy packed extra
goodies in his lunch for him!"
As the wrestlers mumbled
through the big pins of a match,
the b·ball players chewed in their
own form of sports lingo in an ef·
fort to savor the game.
" Last night's game was really
tu ff."
" How would you know, you
were riding the pine the whole
game!' '
" Ya ' , but it was jammin ' when
coach shot that ref."
" I know , man. He scorched him

big time after he ripped us with
that bad call. "
Student Activities Director
Gary Paulauskas added to the
slang bandwagon , attracting three
spirit buses of fans to the battle
for the first place slot against
Racine Horlick .
" Hey all you sports fans , it's
pay back time. We' re lookin ' at
some Q .T ., that's quality time,
this Friday against those Rebels .
Those fast ball freaks , the Bed·
rock Twins are gonna be pushing

catch the basketball mania ,
'cause you gotta get down to the
front rooow to catch the action, "
Paulauskas squalled . Paulauskas
bounced jargon off PA announce·
ments for four days preceding the
Racine game on January 24 and
continued banking off the slang
for the rest of the B·ball season .
Stepping off the court and onto

the green, the rather sophisticated
golfers sliced through the lingo
with hip phrases like, ' 'I'm two up
on the front," " this one 's outa '
here " and " it went swimm ing "
when the ball plopped in the pond .
They also spent some time at " the
local beach " when the ball got
buried in the sand .
Wrapping up practice with a
commanded " hit the showers ,
guys " and joking shouts of " you
got burned " or " he was shot down
dead," teenage jargons surfaced
above the locker room steam.

Giorgio perfume, Gucci bags ,
wallets and watches, Guess pro·
ducts, Swatches, Ralph Lauren 's
Polo, Benetton and Esprit clothes
paced the shopping marathon as
teens raced to stock up an impres·

These items frequently popped
up on teen 's wish lists. As loyal
parents braved wind chill factors
of 20 degrees below zero at Regen·
cy Mall during the holiday season ,
they found the giving spirit some·
what chilled by the price tags .
When mom and dad spotted $40·
$60 per-item range, they gazed
with va shock .
Guess jeans, at $40, topped off
with a $35 Esprit shirt, $25 Benet·
ton sweater·vest and $50 Bass

Weejun penny loafers, whalloped
the wallet at $150 total. Big bucks
stacked up even deeper for a
Gucci shoulder bag. It burned a
$160 hole in dad 's wallet .
" I want a Gucci bag for my
birthday, but I have to pay half;
my mom just won't pay over one
hundred dollars for a purse," com·
mented sophomore Jenny Todd .
As far as parents were con·
cerned, " in" things did not have
" in " pi-ices . Students accepted
parent·picked gifts and realized
that Santa did not have a sack full
of bucks. " When I make out a
Christmas list, it ends up to be at
least three pages. I guess I don't
expect everything, but it would
sure be great! " remarked sopho·

more Chris Deguire.
Swirling into the " I want " list,
the amoeba·like design of paisleys
won the approval of most teens
and did not snatch so much cash
from parents ' pockets. Designers
did not dominate the paisley look .
Its unique style splashed onto al ·
most every garment sported by
students . Adorning patterned
jeans, shirts , ties, socks , scarves ,
blazers , shoes and watches , all
paisleys of former '60s
, fame re·
gained popularity just'. as the
school year dawned.
Another revival from the '60s,
stirrups did anything from dress·
ing up silk blouses to dressing
down sweatshirts .. ·6versized
shirts commonly topped the fre·

quently black stirrup pants as
girls moved into guy 's stores like
Casual Male at the Factory Outlet.
"It took a lot of time to pick out
my pink and grey paisley sweat·
shirt at The Limited in Regency
Mall , but it was worth it because it
really compliments my black stir·
rups," recalled junior Kristen Fox.
Amassing dollar signs became
unattainable for the $3.35 an·hour
working teen ; designer clothes
and accessories commanded top
of the list for birthday and Christ·
mas requests . Asking for clothes
did not always guarantee the
items, because parents reasoned ,
" What good was a Gucci bag with
an empty wallet inside? "

Twice 1s nice
As fashion fads combined newwave styles from the '80s with revived styles from the '40s, '50s
and '60s, second-hand stores attracted trendsetters with more
splash than cash.
Shops such as Goodwill and
The Salvation Army inexpensively allowed students to remain a
step ahead of costly trends. " I
shop at Willy's because it's fun to
find a lot of really different clothes
at great prices," explained junior
Mike Stoebe.
Prices at Goodwill typified Ktown's second-time around shops.
Teens found both fashion and
uniqueness in the $1.99 oversized
v-neck sweaters, $1.49 paisley
shirts and $5.99 wool trench
coats. $2.95 wing-tip shoes and

$.99 suspenders sometimes completed these discount outfits.
"For the prices I pay at Goodwill , I can afford to buy clothes on
a whim, just for fun. The quality's
great, too, like wool jackets. For
that small amount of money, who
cares if it's a fad gone tomorrow,"
commented junior Corey Se·
panski.
Spirited students often flocked
to Goodwill stores for '50s apparel
for February 4, $1.69 Hawaiian
shirts for the seniors' January 24
luau, or for $1.49 pajamas to wear
to the juniors' January 31 dance.
After all, according to senior
Keir Powell, fashion was flair,
elan, not price tags. Twice was
nice when the second owner
cashed in on savings.

While Tremperites rapped , the
use of slang flowed through conversations so smoothly that an
outsider to the school might have
thought Websters considered the
talk standard English. Though far
from being proper English, slang
terms sounded off from Commons
to room 231.
" When slang words are in, I
hear and say them so much that
they become a standard part of
my vocabulary, I must say 'that is
gay ' 15 times a day," commented
senior Denise Johanowicz.
Slang in the classroom has
changed , but some expressions
are forever " cool. " Steady slang
such as " geek " and " hey, man"
hit the scene in the '60s.
In 1986 though , sarcasm and
exaggeration found its way into
Trojan jargon.
" Man, he was raggin' on us with

all that homework , it took me
eight yea rs to finish it! "
" And you got burned 'cause he
didn 't collect it! "
" Yea , I did!"
" But what about that test? I
jammed on it. "
" Oh, you did'. "
" How about you , Mr. Know-ItAll?"
"It was sick, I got faced big
time! I was gonna heave! "
Lingo bounced off walls in every classroom and filtered its way
even into teacher vocabulary .
" Exposed to teenage slang-jargon
during the day, I sometimes confuse my peers with terminology
picked up from the students I
teach . One time I said , ' he got
burned' and some wise guy wanted to know to what degree! " concluded French teacher Mrs. Louise Mattioli.

While trends of florals, paisleys
and kaleidoscope colors commonly splashed the halls from September to June, fads of extravagant
accessories sparkled close behind.
Designs of rhinestone jewelry
overflowed in all types of stores.
The reasonably priced That Boutique at Regency Mall offered
bracelets for as little as $2, yet
expensively vogue stores such as
T. Edwards at Grand Avenue Mall
sold broaches for as much as $26.
"Small things like a diamond·
colored broach and earrings often
add the perfect touch to some of
my oversized print blouses," com·
mented sophomore Sue Pitts.
In actuality, the wearing of
flashy rhinestone jewels revived a
trend from the '50s, and old television programs often proved it. "I

couldn't believe it when I saw Donna Reed wearing a broach in a re·
run! It's funny to think that rhinestones date back that far," said
sophomore Lisa Krebs.
Many teenage girls rummaged
through grandmothers' old jewelry boxes in hopes of acquiring the
most unique old rhinestone
broaches and earrings. Other students opted for scrounging
through boxes of second-hand antique " gems" at stores such as
Hearts and Flowers in downtown
Kenosha .
" It was neat to get an old
broach from my grandma, and it's
fun to wear. But, I think that is
basically an in and out kind of
trend," concluded junior Mary
Schroeder.

Expressing his individuality, senior Keir
Powell buttons up a $3.99 plaid sport coat

Looming over entrances to hallway lockers, the posted signs of
" No students allowed before 7 : 10
a.m ." reminded students that
lockers were off-limits.
Because the chemistry element
chart needed to complete a homework assignment rested in the
locker, some teens tried as early
as 6:45 a.m . to sneak through the
academic halls. Going against the
7: 10 a.m. rule did not always pay
off, though , as teach.e rs nabbed
the early birds and escorted the
trespassers toward the Commons.
" Once I got to school early so I
could go to my locker and get the
homework I forgot. As soon as I
started down the hall , I saw two
teachers coming toward me. I
turned into an empty classroom
until I was sure the other teachers
were past me," said sophomore
Mary Kay Kleist .

Rul es

In a similar predicament a physics student needing Mr. Dave Tuttle 's extra help discovered that
the earliest time to get him without a pass was 7 : 10 a.m. Junior
John Steinbrink remarked , "The
7 : 10 rule just doesn 't make sense.
I never know if I'm going to need
extra help until I start my homework at night. By then , it 's too late
to get a pass."
Despite the teenage aggravation , the no-roaming before 7: 10
a.m . rule taught students responsibility. Mr. John Musser concluded , " Since teachers are not required to be in their rooms before
7 : 10, the halls are unsupervised
until then . With students in the
halls, a fight could break out, and
no one would be there to stop it. In
addition to that, when teachers do
get to school early , it is to do their
work , not to supervise the halls."

What exactly did the $2 fee for
the bumper stickers cover? Why
was it necessary for all student
drivers to have to pay it?
Billing students $2 for a parking
sticker added extra protection for
auto owners. The proper red-andblue transparent sticker ensured
owners could be found if a mishap
occured, such as a fender bender
or vandalism .
Junior Cindy Platt commented ,
" Once I left my car lights on. During first hour, 109 called to tell me
to go shut them off. By my sticker
number, they could tell that it was
my car. I was lucky that they noticed my lights before my battery
wore out."
Without the essential red-andblue sticker , the wheels fell prone
to the " ticket lady," Mrs. Yvonne
Jimenez, who tucked a warning

notice behind the naked windshield. Merely ignoring the warning or forgetting to purchase a
sticker resulted in a $5 fine for the
next violation .
"Sometimes I bring my mom 's
car to school , but it doesn't have a
sticker on it. They shouldn't expect us to buy a sticker for every
one of our family's cars," remarked junior Holly Christofferson.
Contrary to popular belief, the
$2 were not meant to soak students of extra bucks. According to
Mrs. Yvonne Jimenez, the cash
helped pay maintenance costs.
"I don't see how they say we're
paying for maintenance. I don 't
think the city should make money
off of us, " protested junior Linda
Richer.

sparked disapproval with Tremperites . The parking area re·
mained blanketed by the first ma·
jar snow storm on December 18.
Principal Richard Regner an·
nounced seventh hour that stu·
dents should " take extra caution
when entering or leaving the park·
ing lot. "
Junior Anne Pflieger com·
plained , "Not only was it hard to
leave the parking lot because of
all the snow and ice, but a few
people were falling on the ice.
That 's when things start to get se·
rious! "
In spite of student opposition ,
the stickers continued to decorate
the lower-right hand corners of
rear windows.

"You have one of three choices .
You can either study , read or
sleep, " lectured French teacher
Mrs. Louise Mattioli to fifth hour
fidgety sophomores.
As the school population rose
to a record 2800 in 1978, the administration structured a homeroom to acquaint sophomores
with high school , to establish effective study habits and to create
a home base for tenth graders .
" When the school was 2800 in
size, there was no way we could
feed everyone in the cafeteria . It
was decided to hold sophomores a
half-hour to regulate the number
of people getting lunch. Yearly,
we make an effort to improve. We
provide programs, group guidance and a place for sophomores
to study," explained Mr. Andrew
Fennema .

Homeroom teachers invariably
cracked down on talking to friends
and roaming around the room .
However, as teachers relaxed, quietness sometimes turned into
mass confusion with spit balls ric ocheting off the walls and concealed walkmans plugged into
ears.
Wednesday signaled the weekly
homeroom programs . Sophomores gathered in the auditorium
for programs that convinced sophomores to plan an hour of homework for each class as well as to
purchase Balfour class rings .
Sophomore Nancy Plaskett com ·
mented, " Sometimes it's hard to
stay awake during the programs
because everything they tell us is
the things we 've been hearing
since third grade."
As sophs discreetly slipped into

the unavoidable homeroom to
avoid cut ups, sympathy gushed
on them . Junior Veronica Anderson added , " I just feel sorry for
sophomores because I know what
it's like to have to be there ."
Even with the upperclassmen 's
understanding, sophs still regretted the jokes that were tossed
their way. " The worst thing is
when juniors yell 'get to homeroom' at us. I mean it was just last
year when they were forced to
go," said sophomore Anne Bierzychudek .
Even though sophomores felt
as if that half-hour wasted time
could have been spent with hourlunch privileges, homeroom qual ified as a necessary step for all
tenth-graders to take .

Topping the student complaint
list, teacher privileges registered
that teachers are first-class citizens among student ranks. While
faculty parking and the like was
accepted as a matter of position,
classroom drinks and faculty
smoking clouded student objectivity.
While Tremperites survived cotton-dry mouths from first through
seventh periods, some teachers
privi leged themselves to such luxuries as coffee, soda or candy .
Yet, the rule explicitly stated no
food or drink in the academic

s

T

areas, for students and faculty
alike, in the 1985-86 Student-Parent Handbook.
Students sometimes sacrificed
browny-points to rebel against this
injustice, requesting teachers to
practice what they preach . "Once
I asked one of my teachers why he
could get a drink and eat in class
and we couldn't. The only answer
he had was that he was the 'teacher .· It's not fair! If there is a rule , it
should ha ve to be obeyed by everyone," added junior Stacey
Stanich .
The favoritism continued when

the privilege for students to
smoke in the designated smoking
area outside the Commons' door
went up in smoke. The teachers '
lounge still offered faculty a spot
to light up. Tremperites, feeling
pressured from the rule, trucked
across 26th Avenue to Anderson
Park to grab a lunch-hour puff.
Teachers smoking in the lounge
sparked repeated disapproval
among teens .
Sophomore Barb Yanasak said,
"If smoking isn 't allowed for students, then it shouldn't be allowed
for teachers. Smoking is bad for
adults as well as kids, so it should
be banned for everyone, not just
students."
Despite Trojan criticism, a barely visible cloud continued to filter

out of the teachers ' lounge. Economics teacher Max Bair explained , " The reason teachers are
allowed to smoke in the lounge is
because no one has made an issue
of it. It is limited to one area in that
room . The administration believes
that adults can make better
choices on whether they smoke or
not. "
When , on September 6 , teachers confronted students with the
bottom-line on classroom rules ,
some students interpreted the list
and pared it down to two rules : 1)
The teacher is always right, and 2)
when the teacher is wrong, refer
to rule one .

Vacation flops
Clear Florida skies, lively beach·
es like Daytona and popular at·
tractions such as Disney World 's
Epcot Center enticed students
and their families during Christ·
mas and summer vacation time.
However, if those sites drew bad
weather or showered travelers
with mishaps, vacations clouded
over with the blues.
Every vacation has its unex·
pected downfalls. Whether it hap·
pened to be car problems, dismal
weather conditions or even the
crammed hot spots, tourists rose
to the occasion to make the most
of a trip .
Junior Jeff Somers described
his encounter, " Even after my
family had a Grand Prix taxi driver
who nearly killed us, my dad
drove a rented Chevy Cavalier sta·
tion wagon up the center road di·
vider and stayed on two wheels
for a few feet because of un·
marked road partitions."
" Once when my family went
down to Titusville, Florida, for
Christmas, it rained four out of the
five days we were there! " laughed

junior Kirsten Powell.
While some people 's problems
developed at vacation sites, oth·
ers had difficulty getting out of
town .
" My family left for Florida in
our Jeep. When we were on the
highway, the car started rattling ,
so we turned around , loaded up
our van and started all over
again," said junior Jennifer Goer·
gen.
Even when the escape was to
Wisconsin , misfortune was not to
be avoided. Rainy weather spoiled
recreation for the Callahan family
during their trip to Door County in
September of '85. Despite that, ju·
nior Andy Callahan did not miss
an unusual happening.
" During a bad storm, I watched
a gust of wind blow a boat right
out of the water. It was hilarious!"
chuckled Callahan.
Although weather or people ere·
ated complications for vacation·
ers , Tremperites dreamed up
methods to turn a possible vaca·
tion flop into a relaxing and enjoy·
able trip.

scenes

As the school y ea r progressed
and the date of graduation loomed
nearer for expectant seniors ,
many found themselves swamped
with tempting brochures from col·
leges and universities. Some of
the more daring Tremperites opt·
ed to spend limited vacation time
visiting campuses and cornering
willing college students into an·
swering what·to·expect questions.
Trekking from snow-covered
Wisconsin to sun·baked Arizona
during winter break , a number of
seniors planned ahead for the ex·
cursions by signing up for campus
close-ups weeks in advance. Dur·
ing these scheduled weekends,
the college students welcomed
prospective students with a full
schedule of activities, ranging
from tours of the school 's facili·
ties t? movies and get acquainted
games.
" Traveling to Arizona State on
a visitation weekend finalized my
decision to go there next year, "
remarked senior Jill Nelson .
"Touring the campus, looking
through the dormitory, and dis·
cussing career programs with the
department heads and present
students really gave me a taste of
the school's atmosphere."
Other visiting students found
the best method of checking out
probable schools to be the more
spontaneous approach . Senior
Amy Wells, hoping to get a better
insight into Madison's spirited at·
mosphere, "Badger bussed" it to
the U.W. campus.
"My decision to spend a few
days in Madison was kind of last
minute, " admitted Wells. " I just
hopped on the bus not really
knowing what to expect. Luckily,
my friends up there took the time
to show me around and take me to
some classes."
Whether flying across the coun·
try in search of the ideal universi·
ty or simply driving across town
to U .W .- Parkside, students agreed
that visiting a school provided a
perspective into what college life
had to offer. Senior David Wilk
summed up, "As I make my final
decision on which college is for
me, I feel it's very important to
first visit my choices and see what
they have to offer. I would hate to
spend the next four years saying 'I
should have." '

Break cures winter blahs
The anxiety of term papers for
Mr. Lawler 's Composition for College class and the pressure of Mr.
Tuttle 's last- minute physics test
concluded many Tremperites '
winter blues as December 21
kicked off winter vacation .
Caught up in the disciplinary hustle, restless students along with
teachers and administrators anticipated the 2:30 p .m . bell and a
Jong-awa ited break away from
school blahs.
" At Christmas time, the difficul ty of retaining students' focus on
studies was a problem for all the
faculty ," commented Mrs. Louise
Mattioli.
As seven hours stretched into
what seemed twelve, students
skated on thin ice as teachers' tolerance level diminished. Students
mapped out the route to Wilmot
Mountain and arranged car pools
to NON-STOP in Racine to be certain that they would not be left in
the cold .

The 2:30 bell finally soothed
anxious ears , and jittery students
literally slid out the doors to kick
back for a 16-day break. Some faculty collected last-day book reports , term papers and tests and
cruised home for a bit of relax ation and last-minute gift selection . Others hit the road to visit
family and friends .
After spending a weekend at Regency Mall and NON-STOP, wornout students unplugged alarms
and slept the morning through for
the first weekday since Thanksgiving recess . "With homework ,
Sub Deb and other school activities , I stay up until midnight every
night. Sleeping till 9:30 a.m . during vacation felt so good," admitted junior Debra Dejno.
Snowplowing the freshly fallen
snow of Wilmot and Americana ,
adventurous skiers paralleled the
moguls despite sub-zero wind
chills the next day. Challenging
jumps and steep runs dared ski-

ers . Some overcame the obstac les
while others rolled into human
snowballs .
" I challenged 'Hot Dog Moun·
tain ' at Americana but wiped out
as I slid down half the sk i run .
However, I did receive a standing
ovation from inside the ski lodge
as they viewed my clumsy tum ·
ble," laughed junior Kevin Cough·
Jin .
New Years Eve slid by as students went to party with friends
and to find where the action was
in K·town . While the clock struck
12, 1986 became a reality , and
students noted that school reopened in six days.
As January 6 crept in, students
dreaded the 7:30 a.m. return to
class. Showing off new clothes,
sleepy-eyed Tremperites paged
through their books for the first
time in '86 and prepared to get
back into the swing of their busy
schedules .

Winter warm-up

Passing a snow-capped vacation day outside, junior s Stacey Stanich and Trish Ji·

Escaping the bitter 45 below
wind chill factors , junior Heidi
Block took time out to visit Ix·
tapa, Mexico, with her family
from December 31 until January
1. " I never experienced a day that
was less than 80 degrees. In Mexi·
co, there are approximately 240
days of cloudless skies and siz·
zling temperatures a year ," com·
mented Block.
Arriving at Chicago's O ' Hare
Airport, Block and family already
envisioned themselves in shorts
and swimsuits . However, the
Blocks almost did not leave the
ground . Officials noticed that the
Blocks were carrying the wrong
birth certificates . Deciding wheth·
er they would be readmitted to the
U.S. after their vacation , the offi·
cials allowed the Blocks to soak
up the tropical sun of Mexico.
While on the plane with only
four flight hours separating them
from the blue Pacific Ocean , the
Kenoshan tourists discovered
their camera still remained on the
kitchen table . However , the
menez cross·country ski through Petrifying
Spring ·s tree·lined trails on December 29 . . B~ks chose to put the mishaps
beliind .

Taking advantage of the Hol i·
day Inn, which was located on the
waterfront , the travelers bathed in
the blue waters of the ocean and
in the vibrant rays of the sun .
While on the beach , Block had
an experience she will never for·
get. " These guys in a ski boat
came up to me and strapped a
safety harness around me. There I
was, with a huge parachute be·
hind me and a boat in front of me.
The boat took off, and I was sud·
denly in the air scoping the whole
landscape! " exclaimed Block.
After the sunset , the tourists
abandoned the beaches and rea·
died themselves for an evening on
the town . Checking out the night
life of the Mexican village, the
Blocks strolled around town and
noticed many Mexican merchants
out making fast bucks by selling
products at cheap prices .
Returning home went smoothly
as the Blocks bundled up and pre·
pared for the winter temperatures
of Kenosha . With a relaxing vacation over , Block dragged out
books to face the reality of homework and cold temps .

Crumpling 109 threats
Screeching into a parking stall
at 7 :28 a.m . left just enough time
for students to sprint the entire
length of the parking lot before the
passing bell cut through the morn·
ing air. However, a new adventure
awaited inside the building , the ad·
venture of getting from lockers to

Already down to the last tardy
warning for the quarter, late Tro·
jans ran double-time past the Com·
mons. Envisioning the awaiting
Tardy Referral in the first hour
teacher 's hand and the compli·
mentary trip to 109, students
rushed to the Attendance Window
for a tardy pass. However, seeing
three latecomers already in line
for late passes , some sidestepped
that option and glided through the
vacant hallway to their lockers.
While the frustrated student
fumbled at the combination dial, a
voice asked, " You gotta pass? "
Sure enough, it was Roger Dunn,
the hall supervisor. Knowing yel·
low-pass month existed , the Trem·
perite put two and two together.

" I knew I was gonna get nailed ,
so I went for the long shot. Flipping out my yellow fry ·pass I
hoped ' Rog ' wouldn't notice the
McDonald logo on it," laughed
senior Chris Turco.
Equaling the number of dodgers
without a hall pass were those
with ready excuses. Whether ar·
riving at scool late or going to a
locker during fourth or fifth hour,
late students hauled out the tried
and true excuse. Hall supervisor
Mrs. Sharon Jimenez recalled, "I
really never heard any farfetched
excuses. I'd have· to say that the
most commonly used excuses
were 'the teacher forgot to give
me one' or ' my teacher ran out of
them ."'
If a tardy student slipped by a
hall monitor, another obstacle
stood in the way , the teacher.
Sometimes conversation with oth·
er faculty drew teachers from
their classrooms . When faculty
conversations carried over the
bell, latecomers found easy ac·
cess to sneaking into class and to

seats. However, some blew the
cover on a fellow classmate with a
loud " Hi, glad you could make it!"
Senior Mark Keckeisen said,
" My Spanish II teacher had his
back turned as I snuck in the door,
but when my friends yelled , ' Hi
Mark ,' I got faced! "
Whether dodging hall monitors,
faculty , or slipping into class after

Cold shoulders
Whether some consciously or
unconsciously tried dodging ex·
girlfriends or ex-boyfriends , stu·
dents carried out clear-cut plans
for avoiding an already fizzled ro·
mance.
Four of these plans surfaced.
They ranged in impact from sub·
tie hints to blatant statements.
Plan A: Not returning phone
calls rang at the top of the cold·
shoulder list. Excuses such as " I
just have to catch up on my Eco·
nomics notes, I'll fail the test" put

the ex on hold. If, by c hance, the
ex did break through the line, hav·
ing a family member intercep t a
message relieved the tension of
explaining the hide-in-seek game
in the halls. After letting ten calls
go without returning them, the
message usually hit home.
"I found this method especially
effective when I needed time to
study for Psychology tests," re·
called senior Mark Goetz.
Plan B: Plotting new routes
through the hallways might not

comments of "Why are you the
one changing your ways; why not
tell 'em straight out you only want
to be friends?" some reluctantly
took the scenic route when stroll·
ing from class to class. " I remem·
ber going to the opposite side of
the building when going from
Wind Ensemble to Computers last
December," noted senior Pat Ob·
len.
Plan C: As weekend plans cli·
maxed, students who wanted their
freedom skipped parties and other
social hangouts to avoid the ex .
"I'm sorry I can't meet you at
the Junior Class sock hop, but I
think I'm coming down with some·
thing," or similar excuses helped

to deter an encounter of the ex.
Plan D: If one shared a locker
with an ex , a desperate plan re·
suited . By arriving at school at
7: 10 a.m ., one could empty his
locker of books and head off to
first hour 15 minutes early .
Though an armful of books
caused sore arms , the message of
avoidance cut deep. Or, for Tro·
janites opting for the direct ap·
proach, the choice of remaining
locker partners slammed shut.
" With all my friends around me, I
told my ex-boyfriend he could
take his boo~s and get out of my
locker, but then I remembered
that it was his locker, and I had
moved in with him!" laughed
sophomore Lisa Krebs .

As the thermometer plummet·
ed to 5 degrees on January 27 ,
Trojan minds schemed plans to
tolerate the frigid temps of mid·
winter. Instead of catching the flu
from inhaling ·28 degree wind chill
factors on days like February 13,
some students dreamed of how to
catch tropical-sun rays .
Retreating to toasty bedrooms,
student beach bums paged
through Club·Med travel bro·
chures, ripping out any palm tree
or surfboard associated with sun ,
fun, beaches and temps of at least
80 degrees. Soon photos of brown·
skinned sun worshippers sipping

pina coladas warmed up empty
wall space. Golden images of the
remote beaches of Cancun , Mexi·
co, pulled the covers over 20 de·
gree temps outside.
"Everytime I turned on the
news and heard 'arctic front on
the way ,' I'd just pick up my Feb·
ruary swimsuit issue of Sports fl·
lustrated and daydream about Sil·
ver Lake in July ," said sophomore
Jim Masi with a smile.
Tanning salons lured other
Tremperites to their tanning beds.
Hopping in snow·covered cars ,
students took time out to hit local
hot spots such as The Tannery ,

Professional Tanning Spa or Le
Beau 's Health & Recreation Club.
Reveling under ultraviolet rays in·
stead of school's fluorescent-lamp
rays , students visited spas for 30
minutes at $5 a trip or latched on
to specials like seven visits for

$25.
" It's great. I can go anytime
after school. It's weird being able
to get tan when it's pitch dark out
at 5 p .m . and when it's the middle
of the winter ," exclaimed senior
Dan Wikel.
In spite of jump-starting cars ,
backing into snow drifts, Tremper·
ites bared their bodies to tan and
renounce the shiver-shutter temp
themselves. Or, escaping to a sun·
ny resort of the imagination, stu·
dents plastered bedroom walls
with travel -brochure pictures .
With the will to conquer, students
lived with the icy temps .

Beware!
For those who loved the
thrill of winning and ignored
the payoff of defeat, any
stake proved to be fair
game. Whether it be a Ba·

Hardee's or having to shave
one 's head , students substi·
tuted token stakes for mon·

"I was at the wrestling

I bet a friend in the heat of a
close match. Since he was

Bradford guy Fani got
pinned . We won the match,
but no one pinned . It would
have been a cold winter if I
had lost," recalled senior
Bob Owens.
Big time sporting events
like the Super Bowl drew
Trojanites into betting for
the New England Patriots or
the Chicago Bears. As the
Bears shuffled over the Pa·
triots 46· 10, the most lopsid·
ed game in the Bowl's 20·
year history "faced" un·
lucky betters. Though em·
barrassment of picking the
losing Patriots slapped gam·
biers in the face, possibly
weasling out of the financial
aspect of the bet compensat·
ed for lost pride. " I was too
embarrassed for taking the
Patriots. I knew I had an old
Bear jersey in my closet, so I
wore it to school on Mon·
day. I hoped to convince my
friends I was a Bear fan, and
that I had taken 'em to win
the Super Bowl!" recalled
senior Jim Santarelli.
Losers sidestepped em·
barrassment by slipping a
couple singles into eagerly
awaiting palms of the win·
ning better while putting up
with "I told ya they 'd win. "

seek drugs, weapons
In order to make students feel
safe from drugs and weapons possibly present in the school lockers,
the school administration employed dog searches. Part of the
Canine Patrol of the Kenosha Police Department, the dogs first
sniffed the halls in 1984. They returned on September 25 and November 8 to check lockers.
While leading the dogs down
the hall , the policemen directed
the dogs to sniff out lockers, responded to barks at a particular
locker, and searched these lockers. " Because the lockers are the
property of the school district, reasonable suspicion is all that is
needed to search them, " stated
Principal Mr. Richard Regner.
Before the policemen and the
dogs arrived to search the lockers,
teachers were given a notice not

190

to issue passes to students during
this time.
"Not knowing about the procedure, a substitute gave me a pass.
I had taken two steps into the hall;
this dog comes up and starts sniffing me. I'm going 'No·oo-o, I'm
clean.' Mr. Marescalco said to go
back to class. That was weird,"
laughed junior Darryl Shampine.
Although no canine nose actually detected a locker housing drugs
in it, their unannounced checks
often caused students to come forward to reveal information about
the location of drugs in the school,
according to Mr. Regner .
Sophomore Randy Karges concluded, " Even though the reasons
for the dog searches don't really
scare me, it is a good incentive for
kids to leave their drugs and weapons at home."

Combining alcohol and driving,
teen students steered themselves
toward a big-time violation of the
law . Under a new state law, as of
August 27, 1985, police required
drivers under the age of 19, suspected of violating the "not a
drop" alcohol provision , to take a
breath test.
Any teen refusing the test without "proper" grounds resulted in a
six-month driver license revocation . The penalty for violating the
absolute sobriety law for underage
drivers was a three-month license
suspension . The only legal
grounds for refusal was a physical
disability that prevented the driver
from taking the test.
"Anything that cuts down on
teenagers drinking and driving, I
'eel is a good law," agreed Driver
=:ducation teacher Mr. Leonard

Apple. This law has been incorpo·
rated into the already-existing
drinking and driving unit.
One Tremper student became
living proof of the law's penalty. A
Kenosha police officer arrested
him and fellow students the week·
end of January 18, 1986. Authori·
ties revoked his license for three
months and issued the student a
fine.
" I suppose this law will help po·
lice in catching drunk drivers. I
think it's really going to scare a lot
of kids into not drinking and driv·
ing," commented junior Michelle
Zatko.

" What time do you want us to

through the Commons on Fridays
after school as some students con·
firmed their big-time plans . Even
though alcohol consumption by a
minor was illegal, some students
sipped their way through a Friday
night, before and after dances.
Teens discovered drunk at school
dances by adult or teacher chaper·
ons always posed problems.
" I don't care to chaperon

and bottles.
"I think it varies with the situa·
tion as to how many kids go to
dances drunk, " stated Mr. Gary
Paulauskas , Student Activities Di·
rector . " If a popular student is
having a party before the dance,
then there will probably be a lot of
kids at that dance who are under
the influence. On the other hand,
if there 's nothing going on before·
hand, then there usually aren't
that many kids there that are
drunk."
" I think that the majority of kids
go to dances after drinking at a
friend's house, " assumed junior
Julie Kuryanowicz.
Senior Ann Colter, on the other
hand, stated, "I think that not
more than three kids out of every
ten go to dances drunk."
" As far as I'm concerned ," com·

mented Principal Mr. Richard
Regner , " even one out of ten stu·
dents being drunk is too many."
After guzzling as much as phys·
icaliy possible, but still remaining
conscious , a few students
squealed up in the teacher parking
lot, stumbled out of the car, and
tripped to the door, shoving mint
gum and hard candy in their
mouths to disguise alcohol-tainted
breath. Those students who chose
to drink prayed they would not be
the ones to face the consequences
of one-day suspension from
school, three days of in-school
suspension and a drug and alcohol
assessment session with Counsel·
ors Mrs. Mary Lou Bauer and Mr.
Andrew Fennema as a result of
being "busted. "

the influence of
drugs or alcohol has gone
down, but I still
think it's much
too high. Students who
show up in
such a condition really ruin
it for the other
kids.''
Student A c ti vi ties Direc tor Mr. Gary Paulau ska s

Those who play pay b'1g
Even though students have
been continually warned about the
consequences of abusing alcohol
and controlled substances while
under-age, some students went so
far as to do such activities during
a school function .
Last year's incident with the
eight Ski Club students proved the
administration intended to hand
out serious discipline to offenders
who chose extra-curricular activi·
ties as the scene for abuse. Assis·
tant Principal James Marescalco
levied three days of in-school sus·
pension and assigned these stu·
dents to a drug assessment pro·
gram. This incident also has limit·
ed school-sponsored ski trips to
week nights only for the 1985·
1986 school year. Weekend trips

.

of any kind have been banned .
The big trip for many of the
180-member Black Watch proved
to be very rewarding. For five ju·
niors and one senior, however, it
turned out to be a disaster. During
Black Watch's stay in Florida
from July 17 to 22, adult chaper·
ons caught four junior girls with
alcohol in their hotel room and
one junior boy and one senior boy
with controlled substances after a
room-check. Band directors imme·
diately dismissed these students
from Black Watch . Furthermore,
school authorities suspended
them from all sports for a period
of ten weeks.
"Although I know what we did
was wrong, I do think our punish·
ment was too severe compared to

other students who have been
caught in the past. Most kids
would just be suspended from
their sport for ten weeks , but we
were both completely removed
from Black Watch and suspended
from all sports for ten weeks . That
just doesn't seem fair to me,"
pointed out one of the offenders.
Because of incidents at Black
Watch camp, a sock-hop , and
even non-school associated loca·
tions, school administrators penal·
ized three members of the girls '
swim team, six members of the
boys' swim team , ~ cheerleader
and a Trojanette. By the end of the
first semester, all faced suspen·
sion from performance and sus·
pension from these activities.

Renault stalls new plant
Although American Motors Corporation reassured Kenoshans
that K-town topped the list for the
location of a new plant, AMC's
chief officer, Joseph Cappy , stated that in order to secure a new
plant there would need to be incentives.
" There are some states that I
think just understand the importance of jobs and have put legislation in place to be more aggressive in attracting business ,"
Cappy warned in December of
1985.
Sophomore Christine Dejno felt

differently . " Kenosha and the
state of Wisconsin realize the importance of jobs, but no one just
goes out and builds a 600 million
dollar plant for a company that
hasn 't given any reassurance that
it will stay in Kenosha or Wisconsin for any long term period. "
The state would require Renault
to guarantee lease payments , or
the state would not build the 600
to 800 million dollar plant for
AMC in Kenosha , according to
state legislative leaders on February 21 , 1986.
AMC Vice President of Public

Relations Jerry L. Sloan said the
automaker was considering at
least three options. The replace·
ment of the Kenosha facility with
a passenger car plant , the construction of a combination Jeep
and car plant or the importing of
cars from Europe and / or Asia
headed future possibilities.
" The state has to do all that is
in its power to keep AMC in Kenosha because Kenosha 's economy
would decline drastically, and the
possibility of new industries locating here would be scarce," concluded junior Jody Hammond .

Despite the anti-obscenity law and cita·
tion, the Adu lt Gift Shoppe at 24 I 0 52nd
street cont inues busi ness. Whi le the Keno·
sha County law was aimed at cur bin g adu lt
bookstores along 1·94, city and cou nty coo·
peration has enabled sheriff's officers to
issue citations inside city limits.

WEPCO powers park
" The planned Pleasant Prairie
power plant industrial park will fill
the need for large heavy industries
to be located together," stated a
Wisconsin Electric Power Company (WEPCo) representative.
The leading reason for building
the park was that many industries
that moved into Wisconsin purchased land that was widely scat·
tered . Because the expenses for
purchasing that land for industrial
development had soared , industries favored a park where all
costs could be shared by the industries in it.
WEPCo placed the bill before
the Wisconsin legislature in October of 1985, and Governor Anth·
ony Earl signed it into effect on
November 19 at K-town's Gateway Technical Institute.
WEPCo aimed for a 1987
ground breaking, but the State
Public Service Commission , the
Federal Securities and Exchange
Commission and the utilities
stockholders had to approve the
park prior to the ground breaking .
If approved , Wisconsin 's chances
as a prime location for industries

192

Local ne w s

would increase tremendously .
Patrick LeSage, director of Forward Wisconsin , which recruited
and helped businesses locate in
the state , commented that his job
would be easier once the park was
ready. " The large industries don 't
come along often , and when they
do, there is a scramble to look
around for a setting for them ," he
noted. " If Wisconsin can readily
offer them a place, it puts us in a
good position."
WEPCo owned the Pleasant
Prairie Power Plant and roughly
650 acres of land south of it .
WEPCo intended to use this area
for the industrial park . However,
the company continued negotiations with other landowners in order to increase the park's size to
about 1300 acres.
" The industrial park will increase the number of jobs in Keno·
sha and Wisconsin . I think that it
is a needed addition , and it will
remove the so-called myth that
Kenosha is going to become a
'ghost ' town ," concluded junior
Michael Lenegar.

County exposes porn

Mark Fennema , 36 , a lawyer
and former Kenosha Municipal
judge, pleaded no contest on Feb·
ruary 18, 1986, to the charge of
embezzling $62,204 from six cli·
ents between 1981 and 1985. In
return , the state dropped five oth·
er theft charges totaling $17 ,749
despite allowing the charges to be
considered in sentencing.
At the Kenosha County Court
House on April 11 , Walworth
County Circuit Judge James L.
Carlson sentenced Fennema to
five years imprisonment and ten
years probation , in addition to
mandating repayment of
$120,000.
In all of the eleven class C felo·
nies, checks deposited in his own
accounts bore the endorsements
of Fennema 's clients, which the
state claimed to be forgeries .
When the thefts were discov·
ered by Fennema 's law partners,
in May of 1985, Fennema skipped
town , leaving no clues to his

whereabouts .
On August 8 , an auto accident
critically injured him near Phoe·
nix, Arizona. The m ishap oc·
curred when Fennema fell asleep
behind the wheel. After recover·
ing, he returned to Kenosha to
face the embezzlement charges.
Fennema 's lawyer, Assistant
/
Defendapt Gerold Mueller, who
noted that Fennema was in the
process of being divorced, stated
that in 1981 his client was pres·
sured by " a wife who demanded
an ever-increasing standard of liv·
ing . . . . It became more and
more , until Fennema was
caught. "
The psychiatric report stated
that Fennema 's motive was his
wife and her high standards.
" Fennema's case shows that
wrong doesn 't pay off, and you ' ll
be caught sooner or later. It's un·
fortunate that it happened ," com·
mented junior Daniel Diederich.

Bradford High School graduate
and Captain Frank Furrilo on
NBC's Hill Street Blues, stressed
the importance of learning how to

charisma lent credibility to the
" get·the·most·out·of·school " mes·

In 1957, Daniel Travanti had
thrilled Kenosha Lake Front foot·
ball fans as he ran for the second

best season ever rushing as a full·
back. He rambled for 839 yards on
74 carries for an average of 11.3
yards per carry . For that perfor·
mance, Travanti was inducted
into Kenosha 's Hall of Fame on
May 3, 1986.
Traveling to various schools, in·
eluding McKinley, Tremper and
Bradford , Travanti encouraged K·
town students to involve them·

K-town law Celebrity visit
On January 14, the Kenosha
County Board signed an anti·ob·
scenity law into effect. Under the
ordinance, it was illegal to sell ob·
scene materials. The ordinance
defined obscene material as " .. .
a writing , picture , sound recording
or film that the average person
would believe contributed to im·
moral interests if taken as a whole
or if it showed sexual conduct in
an offensive way . Also if the mate·
rial lacked literary, artistic, politi·
cal or scientific value."
Only one day after passage,
three of five adult bookstores in
the county were handed citations .
However, those initial citations
were void because the law was not
yet official. The stores were then
penalized with a maximum penal·
ty that designated a fine of $1000
and a 90·day jail term if the offend·
er failed to pay the fine .
Sheriff Fred Ekornaas ' aggres·
sive approach cited clerks even
before legal mechanisms were in
gear, according to District Attor·

ney Robert Zapf. " No jury instruc·
tions have been set down that
would tell a judge how to instruct
a jury on how it should decide
what is obscene ," Zapf stated on
January 16.
Zapf also warned Ekornaas
about his aggressive approach on
January 15. "The ordinance
should take a back seat to going
after murderers, rapists and rob·
bers."
Attorney Fred Zeivers, who was
representing the Shoppe of Temp·
tations and Crossroads Video, said
there were at least six bases for
claiming the ordinance unconsti·
tutional. " It's vague, overbroad
and violates the Wisconsin Consti·
tution and the U.S. Constitution,"
Zeivers remarked on January 19.
Sophomore Craig Schmidt
agreed with Zeivers, " Who in the
world has the right to be my con·
science and decide what is ob·
scene to me? Pretty soon , the
County Board is going to devise a
method so everyone is a clone."

rights regarding shorts.
" Daniel Travanti came across
as an everyday person not a celeb·

" I'll never be able to look at a
baby without thinking about what
I' ve done and what I've given up.
It hurts to even think about it, so I
try to forget. But I know I never
will ," said Joanne, one 18·year·old
who recently had an abortion .
Nearly one million and a half
women, including teenagers, had
abortions this year. And, as with
all controversial issues, other
teens raised dozens of questions.
Did these women regret their deci·

two abortions in three years .
The abortion scarred these girls
emotionally, and in some cases
physical pain and discomfort was
evident. " I always dream about
what my child could have looked
like or what he might have be·
come. The abortion itself was very
painful. I was sick immediately
afterwards. I had cramps for three
days and bled for three weeks,"
remembered Joanne.
Most of all, though , the exper·
ience seemed to alter attitudes to·
ward future sexual relationships .
"Really consider the decision
you 're making. Consider every
possible option. I'll never forgive

Right to Life. Pro Choice. Amid
the fiery debates and technical
controversy lay the unavoidable
question of how a court decision
affects real people . Legally, what
choices should a pregnant teen·
age mother have concerning an
unwanted pregnancy.
" I don't know what to think ,"
expressed junior Sue Gregory.
" I'm not really for abortion, but I
believe the woman should be able
to choose whether to go through
with the pregnancy or not. I see
both sides of the story!"
In all reality, abortion has been
legal since January 22, 1973,
when the Supreme Court decided
the case of Roe vs . Wade . Thirteen
years later, the debate about abor·
tion rages on .
Planned Parenthood , a Pro·
Choice guidance office in Keno·
sha , offered counseling to 35 preg·
nant teens during the school year.
"We don't actually do abortions

yet a fourteen·year·old girl can ge

WCCL , which has its headqua1
ters at St. Catherine's Hospita
found one of its most powerfu
tools in combating abortion to I>
The Silent Scream. This film, a1
ultrasonic scanning of an abo1
tion , has been noted by Stephe1
Chapman, author of " Abortio1
and Silent Scream " as doing for
the abortion " what televisior
news did for the Vietnam war: 1
brings the killing home. "
Nevertheless, the film has re
ceived much scrutiny since its re
lease. Nanette Falkenberg, Execu
tive Director of National Abortion
Rights Action League, claimed
that one of the falsities in The Silent Scream was that the film had
been deliberately slowed down
and then suddenly speeded up to
create an illusion of frantic activ·

The question of

ABORTIO
sions to go ahead with an abor·
tion? Why abortion when adoption
was a real option? How did an
abortion emotionally affect these
individuals, and did the exper·
ience affect their attitudes to·
wards sexual relationships? These
questions and more were asked of
two different teenagers, each of
whom had an abortion .
"Sometimes I really regret it.
But I can't do anything about it
now. I realized that I didn't love
the father of the child, and my
parents feel very strongly against
teenage motherhood. I would nev·
er put them through something
like that. Adoption just wasn't an
option. I could never have given
the child up once he was born,"
explained Joanne.
"I guess I didn't consider adop·
tion . I only knew that I could never
handle the responsibility of a
child, and abortion seemed the ea·
siest way out. If given another
chance, I would keep the child,"
said Sue, 17, who had received

myself," expressed Sue.
"Please, don't ever let a guy
talk you into something you don't
want to be a part of. Don't have
sex simply because he says he
loves you . True love comes with
time, not sex. And if you don't
really love him, it's not worth the
risk you might be taking ," said
Joanne.
Counselor Andrew Fennema
met with 11 young women in a
period of nine weeks to hear their
concerns about the possibility of
being pregnant. Fennema sta·
ted , " The circumstances behind
each situation were not important.
What was important was the num·
ber of individuals involved over
such a short period of time."
"Sexual intimacy is not a game.
It is serious. A way must be found
to help teenagers that are too
deeply involved or cannot cope
with the responsibilities sexual in·
tercourse involves," Fennema ad·
ded.

at the clinic," clarified Mrs. Patri·
cia Neuenschwander, director of
Community Services at Planned
Parenthood . "Our job is simply to
offer the girl all her options adoption, abortion, or keeping the
baby - without making any mar·
al judgments. After she has made
a decision, we offer referral to doc·
tors or agencies. "
Fifty per cent of the pregnant
teens counseled at Planned Par·
enthood had already informed
their parents of the pregnancy ,
and an additional 25 per cent told
their parents after encouragement
from the counselor. However,
many Pro-Lifers strongly disa·
greed with Planned Parenthood's
policy that all material was confidential.
Mrs. Judy McAndrews, presi ·
dent of Kenosha's chapter of Wis·
consin Citizens Concerned for
Life, remarked, "It's incredible to
think that in the U.S., a teenager
needs his/her parent's signature
in order to get a tooth pulled or to

ity.
Adding to the debate, the State
Legislature passed the Grandfa·
ther Clause, a clause of the State
Wisconsin State Pregnancy Pre·
vention Bill. This clause states
that if a teenage boy and a teen·
age girl choose to carry the child
full term, both sets of their par·
ents are financially responsible for
the baby until both teens reach

18.
Senior Laura Ihlenfeld said, " I
don't think the clause is really fair.
Why should parents have to pay
for their kid's mistake?"
Nevertheless, the 13·year war
between Pro·Choicers and Pro·
Lifers continued to rage on in
1986. At the Supreme Court level ,
anti-abortion backers struggled for
a decision reversing Roe vs . Wade.
Abortion -rights groups fought
back for the.i r belief in choice. In
the meantime, the conflict contin·
ues to affect politicians, churchgo·
ers, and even teenagers.

Publicizing God:

Surprised to find a brochure in the locker
before first hour, sophomo res La u ra J elinek, Ta ra Ladousa-M ason and Mau ric io
Silenzi read "God Lo ves Yo u! "

As the school year wore on and
summer succumbed to autumn 's
chilling bite, students thirsted for
something out of the ordinary to
break the monotony of the school
day - something different. Differ·
ent is exactly what they received
on November 1. Many Tremper·
ites arrived at school that morning
to witness two members of a local
religious group holding crosses .
They stood across the street from
the school.
Other students found their lock·
ers littered with religious pam·
phlets bearing the slogan , " God
Loves You!" on the cover and " Je·
sus Christ the Son of God , warns
you of Hell! " on the back .
This local religious group,
whose literature did not state a
name or address , was actually
making its second visit to
Tremper's halls. " They were here
twice last year, and I had them in
the office to explain to them the
policy of nonstudents in the

school ," explained Principal Rich·
ard Regner. " They are allowed
into the school as long as they
check in the main office first; oth·
erwise, they are considered tres·
passing ."
Regner speculated that the
members of the group had not ac·
tually slipped the pamphlets
through the locker slits them·
selves but had persuaded students
who believe in their cause to dis·
tribute the material. ' 'I'm not sure,
but I don 't see any other way it
could have happened ," he said .
Although Regner claimed he
was not worried about the issue,
he disclosed that parents had been
calling the school to ask ques·
tions . "If the group showed up
again , I would call the police," he
said .
Laws concerning the handing·
out of religious material on school
grounds were nonexistent accord·
ing to City Attorney James Con·
way . Since the school is located

Chagrin or
Salvation

on private property , only the
school authorities can determine
trespass and request police inter·
vention .
Tremper teens had mixed reac·
tions about the incident. " The
event itself was good , and I agree
with what they are doing," com·
mented Bible Club member Scott
Pannell , " but I question the meth·
od they used. "
Junior Eric Andersen disagreed .
" I don 't think anyone should have
the right to force his beliefs on
others , especially in a public
school. If a person believes in God
and wants to go to church , that
should be his own decision ."
Nevertheless, as the year ex·
pired without another visit from
the group, the issue of religious
solicitation eventually faded . To
the relief of some concerned par·
ents and administrators, trespass
did not have to be forgiven .

Nuclear media numbs fears
Survey blasts open atomic war discussion
" I always had nightmares about
nuclear war last year," contribut·
ed one Tremper junior who pre·
ferred not to be named . "They
were really scary, but after a while
they stopped bothering me."
In a poll of approximately 10
percent of Tremper's populace,
60 students from each grade took
part. Classic distributed 180 sur·
veys, 10 basic , 30 regular and 20
honor students from each grade
10, 11 and 12, proportionate to the
school's level classification . A to·
tal of 142 students responded.
An overdose of nuclear war me·
dia appeared to have calmed
teens' fears concerning nuclear
war. A surprising 45 percent be·
lieved that a nuclear war was not
very likely to occur in the 20th
century while 14 percent thought
it was not likely at all. Further·
more, 50 percent of the surveyed

students felt their fear of nuclear
war had not increased at all in the
past year and 25 percent felt their
fear had actually decreased.
Sophomore Heather Malzahn
commented, "We've been hearing
the possibility of nuclear war for
so long that my feelings about it
haven't changed over the past
year."
Junior Cathy Rizzo supplied an·
other explanation for the decline
in concern. "The United States
and Russia seem to be trying a
little bit harder to live peacefully
and to decrease the threat of nu·
clear war."
Many students held faith in Ron·
aid Reagan's leadership concern·
ing defense and nuclear weapons.
Thirty percent agreed with his
policies, attributing their support
to his December meeting with
Russian leader, M ikhail Gorba·

chev, during which the leaders dis·
cussed the arms-reduction issue.
Others advocated the Presi·
dent's urge for an increase in the
defense budget at a time when the
national debt justified large cuts in
multiple social programs. Junior
Brian Helmke contested, "Without
the assertion of power towards the
Soviet Union and other countries,
the U.S. would fall in its position
as a major world power. We would
lose our bargaining power in the
international political market."
Junior Barbara Krogh disa·
greed, "We can already destroy
the world many times over. Why
should Reagan favor building
more weapons for this purpose?"
A striking 41 percent of those
surveyed noted "death " as the
word most associated with
thoughts of war. Nevertheless, 52
percent recognized no relationship

between a fear of nuclear war and
a "live for today" attitude con·
cerning actions such as consum·
ing drugs and alcohol or premari·
tal sex.
Sophomore Jeff Wirch re·
marked, "I 've never heard some·
one take a drug and say 'This
one's for nuclear war. "'
Tremper teens responded to the
nuclear war poll with relative
calm. Nevertheless, the controver·
sy imposed itself daily upon teen·
agers through Kenosha News
headlines. With the search for a
peaceful arms-reduction settle·
ment between the U.S. and Russia
showing possibilities, students evi·
denced an ever-present hope, not
only for the United States, but
also for the rest of the world .

NASA 's space shuttle

Challenger explodes
On Jan. 28 at 11 a.m ., Principal
Richard Regner relayed the tragic
news to the school that the space
shuttle had exploded into a huge
fireball two minutes after blastoff,
hurtling it into the Atlantic Ocean.
The crew of seven , including
teacher Christa McAuliffe, were
killed.
On board the Challenger were
commander Francis " Dick " Seo·
bee, co-pilot Michael Smith, Ju·
dith Resnik, Ellison Onizuka, Ar·
nold McNair, satellite engineer
Gregory Jarvis and McAuliffe, the
Concord, N.H., social studies
teacher chosen from 11 ,000 candidates to be the first private citizen
to fly on a shuttle.
Challenger was 72 seconds into
flight when it disappeared in a
mysterious burst of flame and
smoke.
The explosion of the shuttle's

giant external fuel tank was
blamed on a rupture in the ship's
right·side solid-fuel booster rocket.
"When I saw the explosion on
TV, I thought the Challenger just
about evaporated into the air be·
cause of the force of the blast,"
recalled sophomore Shannon
As th mus.
Photos of the shuttle explosion
released on April 23 revealed Chai·
lenger 's nose section , which contained the crew , emerged relatively intact.
" I think it was such a tragedy,
but the astronauts knew of possible consequences. The space pro·
gram should continue with full
force," said junior Shelly Gill.
The remains of the crew were
flown from the Kennedy Space
Center to a military mortuary at
Dover Air Force Base, Del. , on
April 29.

Boom town Rats lead singer Bob
Geldof called it " a global j uke·
box." The biggest rock and pop
stars in the world would perform .
Geldof rattled off a list of names
sounding like the top half of Bill·
board pop charts. Mick Jaggar,
David Bowie, The Who, Erik Clap·
ton, Tears For Fears, Tina Turner,
Madonna, Robert Plant, Phil Col/ins, Lionel Richie, U2, Paul
McCartney, Howard Jones, Paul
Young, The Hooters, Sting, Billy
Ocean and many more booked to
play on July 13, 1985, at the Live
Aid concerts.
Wembley Stadium , a 72,000-ca·
pacity outdoor sports arena in
London , and Philadelphia 's JFK
Stadium, a 90,000 seat arena,
hosted the two concerts benefit·
ting famine victims in Ethiopia.
Over 100 countries had agreed to
broadc:ast the biggest concert
since Woodstock . Worldwide
viewership totaled over 1.5 billion
people, almost twice the audience
of the 1984 Summer Olympics.
When the curtain finally rose in
Philadelphia, thirty-nine acts lined
the bill; in London, twenty·two

acts performed.
" The Who played the best; ·
sa id sophomore Nancy Isetts.
' 'I'm glad they were reunited at
Live Aid . They performed well together."
The main goal of the concert, as
explained by Americ an promoter
Bill Graham, was to save lives.
Graham said , " Here is a specific
desire to affect consciousness, to
make people aware of the plight in
Africa and to raise funds that will
hopefully lead to food and phar·
maceutical equipment, drugs and
vitamins, to help out these peopie."
Sophomore Mary Kay Kleist ad·
ded, " I think it was great the rock
world had the ability to do something so big for such a positive
cause.''
Worldwide officials estimated
the concert would net at least $40
million, but the figure depended
on how well the telethon went.
Two months following Live Aid,
high-level officials of three coun·
tries, England, Ireland and Nor·
way , nominated Geldof for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Comet glides into view
Experienced and amateur as·
tronomers alike pulled out tele·
scopes and binoculars and aimed
at Kenosha's southwestern sky as
Halley's Comet floated through
space after a 76-year absence.
Between Nov. 14 and Nov. 17 of
1985, Halley's Comet approached
naked-eye visibility. Observers
with 7-by-50 mm binoculars focused on the dim comet in the
same field of view as the famous
Pleiades star cluster, a group of
tightly packed stars in the constel·
lation Taurus.
For Tremperites with trouble
finding the Big Dipper, the Pie·
iades are located in the eastern

National New s

horizon and straight overhead. By
studying the cluster through bin·
oculars, comet gazers scanned for
a patch of fuzzy light not forming
a pinpoint image of a star, thus
Halley's Comet.
Mr. Steve Majewski of the
Yerkes Observatory in Williams
Bay, on the shore of Lake Geneva,
offered advice to those wishing to
catch a glimpse of Halley's Comet. "During January, the best time
for viewing was in the evening. In
March and April , as it moved
through our solar system , the best
time for viewing was before
dawn."
Junior Mark Hervat said , " I tend

to disagree with Mr.Majewski . Al·
though I'm an amateur astronomer, I wasn 't happy with what I
saw. I looked towards the southern sky at 5:30 a.m. in March . Instead of seeing some luminary
flash , I had to settle for a white
blur! "
Those who witnessed the comet
before it moved through our solar
system in April held good company in having done so. Among
those who have watched it were
Julius Ceasar in 87 B.C. , William
the Conqueror in 1066 A .D. and
Isaac Newton in 1680.

After a 76-year absence, Halley's Comet
crui sed into naked·eye visibility during Novem ber in Kenosha's southern sky.

As Tremperites dreamed up
spring break plans of hanging out
at home or heading out of town for
Easter, a U.S. confrontation with
Libya jarred thoughts of war and
terrorism .
Challenging Libyan leader
Moammar Khadafy' s claim that
Libya would strike any foreign
vessels crossing Khadafy' s proposed " line of death, " U.S. warplanes and ships began flight operations in Libya on March 19.

Libya answefed retaliation by firing six more missiles, all of which

a West Berlin disco, killing Army
Sgt. Kenneth T . Ford and a Turkish woman and injuring more than
200 others.
Although Libya denied involvement in the bombing, President

Eighteen F-111 bombers and 15

struck at least six sites in Tripol i.
One of the F-111 's was hit and

pilots. Another F-111 made an

" I don 't think we should have

One yard shy of State
Because only one
team could represent
the Big 9 Conference at
State, the Trojan Football team decided to put
it all on the line, the goal
line, when quarterback
Rolf Schmitz ran for a
two-point conversion to
avoid sudden-death
overtime.
Both the Trojans and Panthers
boasted of perfect 7·0 records go·
ing into the showdown . The O·O
third quarter score emphasized
their shoulder·to·shoulder abilities.
With 4:39 remaining in the fourth
quarter, Panther Ted Ford ram·
bled through the Trojan defensive
lirie on a two·yard run and racked
up six . Ted Slaughter's conver·
sion point tallied 0·7 .
The Trojans' aggressive offense
paid off when Schmitz finally
found All·Conference offensive
back John Andreoli open and hit
him with a 15· yard TD pass after

time ran out on the clock , nudging
the score up to 6-7 . Because of
place kicker Scott Grundy 's injury
in the third quarter, Coach Ron
Davies opted to go for the win in·
stead of a tie. Schmitz looked to
the left, but neither Andreoli nor
wide receiver Chad Englund were
open . He sidestepped to the right
and plowed straight for the goal
line only to be tackled by Park's
Taffrey Sims, a yard short of State
playoffs. After the shock faded ,
offensive back Scott Trottier and
Sims consoled a sobbing Schmitz.
Park Coach Phil Dobbs stated ,
" Both of these teams deserve to
be in the playoffs. " Continuing , he
revealed, " We 're trying to get the
WIAA to change format."
"These teams are so good that
a mere twist of fate decided the
outcome," added Kenosha News
sports writer Jim Casper.
In review of the 1985 season ,
the team was 7· 1 in conference
and 8· 1 overall, earning them sec·
ond in the Big 9 and the fourth
best record in Trojan history be·
hind 1979, 1980 and 1984. The

team scored 263 points against
their opponents ' 78, averaging
285.6 yards per game. Game after
game the power·packed Trojans
romped every squad except Park
and South . South came close in
the third quarter, 21 ·l3, but were
stopped at the two·yard line.
In the season opener against Pu·
laski , the Trojans tackled the
Rams 33·8 , setting the standard
for the rest of the season . By the
end of the first quarter the team
blocked the bewildered Rams 19·
0 , with TD 's brought in by half·
back Mike Jones on a 27·yard run,
Andreoli on a 31 ·yard TD pass,
and fullback Chris Osmon on a 45
·yard run .
Trojan efficiency eased to 14
points for the rest of the game, the
TD 's by Jones and Andreoli. The
Rams penetrated Trojan defense
for their only eight points in the
second quarter.
" The intense heat and humidity
was a factor , but I was not pleased
with the game because we let up,"
admitted Coach Ron Davies. Also
due to the heat, three banks of

lights blew during half time and
delayed the game 25 minutes.
In the only non·conference
game of the season , the Trojans
sacked Cicero-Berwyn Morton, llli·
nois, 41 ·0.
The crowd chorused to ' Tm a
raindrop ," after Osmon scored
two TD 's and Schmitz completed
16 out of 26 passes for 246 yards
and two TD 's. Jones rushed for a
total of 111 yards, and Andreoli
received for a total of 103 yards .
" The ending was quite a sur·
prise. Our teams exchanged films ,
and they seemed strong. If we had
played them again , it would have
been a closer game. We just start·
ed out too fast for them to catch
up," reflected Davies.
" We had a lot of senior leader·
ship this year ," said All State line·
backer Pete Olep. " Every week
we met at Coach Davies' house
and watched films of that week 's
opponent." Osmon concluded the
season, " All of us were there
everyday and put 110% into our
practices. We were one of the
best."

defense in the Big 9; consequently, rivals rarely scored. ''

In spite of the silver
lining, the clouds
flooded and poured only
defeat into the soccer
team's Regional
playoffs on Oct. 31.
Struggling against Milwaukee
South in Regional competition ,
the Trojans tied up the score 2·2
late in the second half when a direct kick by Jeff Reget and a cor·
ner kick by Bob Oglesby crossed
the goal line on the moist, but solid field. Due to early darkness, Ref·
eree Micele called the game and
postponed it until 3:30 p.m.,

I lost sight of him for a few sec·
ands in the spray of water ," com·
mented All Conference team,
U.W . Parkside All Tourney Team,
All County team member and
M .V.P. sweeper Scott Stein. How·
ever , since it was Regional play,
the WIAA rules mandated the
teams to continue play, rain or
shine.
The five minutes of the first
overtime remained scoreless.
Only two minutes into the second
overtime, the standing water
sloshed the Trojan offense. De·
spite Stein's attempt to pass the
ball to goalie Mike Falcon, only
eight yards away, the puddles
teamed with South to trip up
Stein 's shot. A South player then
swept in and kicked the ball into
the corner of the goal just out of
reach of Falcon's diving finger·

tips. In the final three minutes,
both squads splashed up and
down the field without scores. The
Trojans slipped to a 2-3 loss.
" The puddles did not have a lot
to do with the loss; they were the
loss! " commented disappointed
Captain Mike Falcon.
On Sept.18, the Trojans played
on Anderson Field , for the first
time in the history of the soccer
program, against the Bradford Red
Devils. Outshooting the Trojans
10-4, Bradford's team led by mid·
fielder Vlatko Minic put the pres·
sure on stopper Stein, right full·
back Dave Blake, left fullback
Dave Wilk, along with Falcon. Yet,
the first half stood scoreless as the
Trojans held their ground.
Early in the second half, Minic
forced a low shot at rookie Trojan
goalie Chris Wade. The ball de·

fleeted off Wade's leg and lazily
rolled into the net.
Recovering from a 0-1 score,
midfielder Oglesby nailed a shot
past diving Bradford goalie Chuck
Sauer to tie the game at 1·1.
Minutes later midfielder Steve
Principe flipped a pass to Oglesby
who headed the ball into the upper
corner of the net for the game·
winning goal.
"That's the way to do it! I knew
I had to get this goal, and I did!"
exclaimed Oglesby.
"Our team had hard luck all
season. We were better than our
record indicated. We out-played
most of our opponents, but we
just couldn't seem to get the ball
into the net," said team captain,
All-Conference player and All·
County team member Reget.

t first, we had problems with
our offense, but we got it right

Duo skyracquets to State
Serving against the new
and highly competitive
Big Nine Conference, the
girls' tennis team
showed for net worth by
capturing a third place.
Coach Henry Thurman com·
mented, "Last year's Milwaukee
Area Conference was weak, and
we didn't have to push ourselves.
The Big Nine's teams proved to be
mu~h more experienced:"
In their home opener against
Racine Prairie, the Trojans fell 3·5
with all top players shut out. Wait·
ing for her opponent's mistakes,
number three singles player Kel·
ley Frederick consistently pushed
the ball back scoring a straight set
6-4, 6-4 victory. The number·twodoubles team of Jackie Pileski·Mi·
chelle Stanich and the number·

three-doubles of Katie ThomeySara Neuenschwander racked up
Tremper 's other two wins.
The Trojans then rallied to im·
prove their season record with a 4·
3 victory over St. Joseph in non·
conference play.The meet fea·
tured close matches all around.
Playing number one singles, Julie
Selsberg see-sa wed to a 6·0, 0-6, 5·
7 three setter. However, Racine
Case then served the Trojans a 6· 1
setback on September 10, despite
the number two doubles team of
Pileski·Mason volleying for a 6·7,
6·3, 6-2 close three·set victory.
Doubles player Mason empha·
sized," We never worried if we lost
our first set. We knew we could
come back and win even if it took
three sets to do it. That's why we
were the 'Cardiac Kids ."'
With more confidence under
their strings , the squad came back
to capture a biq·time 6· 1 victory

over Bay View. Riding high, the
girls then aced crosstown rival
Bradford with a perfect 7·0 score,
their best to date. Number·one·sin·
gles player Selsberg, number two
Frederick, and number three Lisa
Obertin scored victories while
doubles victors were the pairs of
Owen·Stanich, Mason·Pileski and
Trish Jimenez-Michelle Stanich.
In the County Quad on Septem·
ber 14, the Trojans brought home
the traveling trophy for the sec·
and straight year. Tremper defeat·
ed local teams such as Wilmot,
Bradford and St. Joseph.
The Wauwatosa Quad found
the team playing four grueling
matches in 110 degree heat. Six
players doubled up to play four
matches. The heat took its toll in
fatigue, giving the Trojans a
fourth place finish .
In Sectionals the doubles team
of Pileski·Mason missed the State

trip to Madison by two points.
However, the post-season play of
Owen·Stanich sent the long·stand·
ing team to Madison after they
won their first round 6·3, 6·4.
At the State level , Owen·Stan·
ich relied on their three years of
playing experience together to
conquer their first round oppo·
nents from Eau Claire Memorial 7.
6, 5·7, 6·2. In the second round,
their strong net game did not help
as the fourth-seeded sister team of
Heidi and Julie Jurczyk from
Brookfield Central ended their sea·
son with a score of 6·0, 6·0.
Doubles player Stacey Stanich
concluded, "We were glad to
make it to State, and winning our
first round was even better."

Returning serve, Wendy Owen drives the
ball as partner Stacey Stanich rushes the
net.

called, "It was a good match. Bay

We should have won the third
game, but we choked and lost the

Bay View maneuvered the vol·

The Trojans psyched up for
their crosstown rival Bradford
with intense practices from Octo·
ber 13 to 15. The seniors craved
revenge against the Red Devils,
who had tied them 1·1 in the Case
Tourney on Saturday, October 12.
Setter Lisa Liegel remarked , "E·
ven though we bombed the last
few games, we really wanted to
defeat Bradford to end the season
on top. "
In the locker room before the
Bradford match, the Trojan play·
ers had a heated argument, which,
as the coach stated, interfered
with the concentration on the
game. With smashing serves and
good ball-placement, the Red Dev·
ils, then, dominated the match

flict arose, which destroyed our

feeling of team unity."

Free titne discovers fun
Dozens of sophomores, juniors and seniors crowded the gym
for some lunch-time and
after-school exercise.
Besides stretching muscles and
practicing outside jumpers, other
reasons for empty stomachs and
sweat peopled the gym during
fourth, fifth and after-school
hours.

" When I am saving my money for
weekends, I'll just pass the hour
playing a little b-ball."
Easily the most popular intramural, the after-school weight program drew in fifty guys and girls
every Monday, Wednesday and
Friday. With off-season players
and other interested athletes working out. supervisor Mr. Paul Fennema checked for attendance roll
and proper attire. He also enforced
warm-up through stretching exercises in order in avoid student injury from free weights and the Universal System.
Junior Mike Thome remarked,
"Since I can work out free with all
the needed equipment, I often use
the weight program at school."
Diving for the runaway ball and
taking the ball to the hoop were all
part of a fast-paced game called
"21 ". Once a player scored 21
points, he won the game and
played another one. If a game of
"21" was not going on, they were
playing three-on-three matches.
"The game of "21" is definitely
not a regular basketball game. I
have seen players come out with
bloody noses or bruised so bad
that it hurts to move," comment-

ed junior Dan Diederich.
If a student did not want to
work up a sweat over a basketball
game, he bumped his way over to
the volleyball nets. The game usually consisted of two players on
each side of the net.
Circles of Hacky Sack and badminton matches were also some
of the games at lunch-time intramurals. These games filled the
gym everyday, fourth and fifth
hour, but for the week of March 37, time out was called on these
activities.
The Physical Fitness Week involved over 100 students during
fourth and fifth hour. Not only did
seniors, juniors and sophomores
compete against each other, but
they also battled for class and
school records . Jim Hammelev in

Close but no basket
Jumping into the new
Big 9 Conference. the
girls' basketball team
landed short. Third·quar·
ter fade deflated the sea·
son to a 5·13 record.
After dropping the first four
games, the Trojans seized a victory over Milwaukee South on February 5 with a 51-45 finish . Forward and outside shooter Becky
Bertog scored a personal season
high of 23 points for the Trojans .
Although South only hit 18 for
55 from the floor, Trojan turnover
trouble gave the Cardinals the
lead for the entire first half until
Bertog tossed up a last second,
outside shot at the buzzer. The
ball bounced off the rim and sank
in for a 23-23 tie.
Guard Stacey Stanich, who

started the second half, sustained
injury in the first minute of play
when she dove into the bleachers
for a successful save. After slowly
climbing out of the bleachers with
a bloody gash over her right eye,
Stanich was rushed to Kenosha
Memorial Hospital with her parents. She received six stitches.
Setting up a 25-25 tie early in
the third quarter, forward Lana
Solberg caught a bounce pass under the basket and put it up. Seconds later, guard Tammy Wright
swished a field goal from the top
of the key to take the lead. The
lead flip-flopped twice after that,
Bertog hitting for a 31-30 lead.
Staying ahead by one' point
most of the fourth quarter, center
Captain Sue Ruhle and Bertog
worked the inside and outside for
a four-point advantage. Forward
Tracy Burbach also added two

more for a 51 -45 victory .
" We were all happy about the
victory , yet we were concerned
about Stacey . Half of our minds
were on her," added Burbach .
Leading 36-32 into the last minute of play, the Trojans looked victorious against crosstown rivals,
the Red Devils, on February 17.
Up, 36-35, Tracy Burbach hit the
first free throw but missed the bonus with 19 seconds left on the
clock. Then, Bradford's Ann Williams grabbed the rebound and
passed it to guard Yolanda Finley.
Finley spotted Williams and
sprang for a short bank shot to
score with only six seconds left.
The Trojans tried to get the ball
up court to score; however, Bradford's full court press ran out the
clock . As a result, the Trojans suffered a 37-36 loss.
"It was really disappointing to

see us lose. In the first half, we
were up by 12, but Bradford just
wouldn't quit," commented guard
Demere Kentcy.
A loss to Milwaukee South on
February 17 during Regional play
ended the Trojan girls ' season
with a score of 27-45.
"Even though we were 5-13, we
were better than our record
showed. We just couldn 't seem to
make the team click, " stated
Ruhle.
In support of Ruhle's statement,
Coach John Schmidt pointed out
that the team had a chance to win
all their games. He concluded that
the squad lacked two key things,
"heighth and experience which
would make the team work as
one. "

he third quarter determined
whether or not we won each
and every game we played.''
Sue Ruhle

After a quick steal from a South guard,
forward Tracy Burbach presses ahead for a
successful lay·up to contribute to the 59·36
victory over the Cardinals.

Andy Schmidtmann scores a three·poi
play against Pulaski on February 21.

Crew- w-recks 16 squads
Thundering into a
preview of the upcoming
basketball season for
the fans, Chad "Crash"
Englund went up with a
two-handed dunk that
shattered the backboard
and sent pieces of flying
glass spraying across
the gym floor during the
Winter Sports Assembly
on Nov. 21.
This Trojan team worked like a
wrecking crew to put away 16 opponents. Teammates, fans, Coach
Saint Jimenez and cable TV
sportscasters dubbed players with
nicknames. ''Mr. Leader,''
"Fresh" and "Smiling" became familiar as the school and the community caught basketball fever.

The first team to be demolished
was Menomonee Falls. In the
opening minute, the Trojans spurted to 6-0 from a couple of steals
and break -away lay-ups by
Dwayne "Smiling" Bedford and
his twin brother "Mr. Thief"
Daryl, who had a game high of 18
points. In the second quarter,
Andy "Mr. Leader" Schmidtmann
canned two 20-footers and added
five more points to the 25-point
period. On numerous occassions
in the third and fourth quarters,
the wrecking crew brought the
crowd to its feet with "ooohs" and
" aaahs " by steals, passes and
layups to win 83-48.
With basketball-mania at its
peak 11 games later, the Trojans
trotted onto Horlick's home court
to get revenge for a 72-79 loss
against the Rebels on December
10. With 220-pound "Mr. Re·
bound" Chris Osmon controlling

the boards by bringing down six
rebounds and the dual guards of
Schmidtmann and Greg " Fresh "
Kaldor combining for 24 points ,
the Trojans pulled off an upset
victory and tied the Rebels for first
place in the Big 9 Conference.
After a two-game slump with a
loss to South, the team lighted up
the scoreboard 106 to 60 against
Pulaski. The B-ballers shot 56 per
cent from the field. From beyond
18 feet, Schmidtmann sunk 9 out
of 10 long-range bombs. Shawan
" Ladies Man" Brantley took the
ball into the lane to score 15
points. All ten Trojans scored with
each starter, Kaldor, Schmidt·
mann, Osmon, Brantley and An·
dreoli, hitting double figures.
"It was the last game at home
for .me and the rest of the seniors,
plus it was Parents' Night, so we
decided to go all out and show our
stuff," said guard Andy Schmidt-

mann.
After destroying South Milwaukee 74-57 in the Regional semi-fin·
als, the Trojans once again met
Horlick in the Regional finals.
Brantley scored 14 points and Kaldor 12 to pace the wrecking crew.
In the final minute of play, Horlick was up 65-60. Brantley scored
from the middle of the lane with
38 seconds on the clock, and
Dwayne Bedford drove the base
line to cut the score 65·64. Time,
though, had ran out. The Rebels'
All -State forward Robert Berryhill
and teammates had stopped the
Trojans 65-64 in a loss, ending the
Trojan season 18-3.
"What I asked for was 100 per
cent from each player, and each
of them gave me everything he
had. Not only did they work hard
for me, but we also became a fam·
ily . These guys are leaders among
leaders," declared Coach Jiminez.

"When we entered en·

the attitude that we
could destroy our foe.
With this positive think·

On December 13 at Racine

of 1:57.36 in the 200-yard frees·
tyle. Wirch raced to a second
place finish in the 500·yard freestyle and Skendziel in the 50-yard
freestyle.
The victory crest broke as the
Trojans surfaced two points shy
of the win, 85 to 87. " Bradford

was a top team in the Big 9 Conference, and we surprised ourselves by coming so close to
them," said captain Paul Koch .
Gearing up for the WIAA Sect iona I meet, the swimmers
pumped one week of pyramid
drills. On February 9, only Damian
Marhefka qualified for State with
a time of 1:54.74 in the 200-yard
freestyle.
"Even though the team had
some ups-and-downs this year due
to losing six teammates, it really
felt great to represent the team at ,
State and place 16th in my event,
the 200-freestyle," concluded Marhefka.

Trojans sweep Big 9
Winning five
Milwaukee Area
Conference titles in six
years, Trojan wrestlers
pinned the first Big 9
Championship.
In the Big 9 Conference Meet on
February 8 , the Trojans claimed
third overall, beating fourth place
Bradford but still behind Case and
Park. In the finals , Tom Lux at 112
beat Chris Yeagle of Park 3-1 , and
Dan Diederich at 119 wrestled Bay
View 's Mike McGee 12-2. Ron Delabio at 18 nearly tied Bradford 's
Dean Sinkler 7-7 but got in a threepoint near fall in the last seconds
of the match to win the title 10-7.
Delabio was also named the
meet's Most Valuable Performer.
The Championship title was a
combination of the team 's Big 9
Conference Meet third place per-

formance and their 7·1 dual meet
record . The Trojans shared the ti·
tie with Case.
At Regionals on February 15,
the Trojans tied up second with
113 points , behind Park's 131.5. In
the finals, Lux beat Bradford 's
Steve Fani 5-0. Diederich wrestled
Case 's Dave Penn and came out
on top 2-0 , and Delabio again beat
Sinkler 6-3 to get the gold .
After pinning his first two competitors, Todd Delabio at 132 lost
to Park 's Ted Slaughter 2-1. Dave
Blake pinned his first opponent
and won the next on a major decision ; however, he lost the 155 title
to Park's Matt Case 15-2. Dennis
Ellsworth at 145 drew a bye on his
first match and won his second
match against Bradford's Dan
Pavlica 9-1.
Losing his third match to Jose
Honor 10-6, Ellsworth took third
when he was disqualified for body-

slamming Oak Creek 's Bob Har·
lock. " It was just like the scene
from 'Vision Quest '," said Blake.
" He was winning 10-1 but wasn 't
going to win the title anyway , so
Dennis just 'suplexed' the guy for
the free-style experience. "
Of the eight who competed at
Sectionals, only four qualified for
State. Greenfield reversed the mat
on the Trojans when they stole the
championship with 138 leaving
the Trojan 's 78.5 in second.
Diederich pinned Greendale's
Brian Kodaski in 4:44, then toppled McGee 3-1. In the finals , Diederich threw Mark Pecora 9-4.
Ron Delabio pinned Tech's Dan
Ridden in 1:20 and upset Bay
View 's Randy Posig 9-2. Capturing
the title, Delabio struck Greenfield 's Dan Humphrey 6-3.
Lux pinned Pulaski's Tony
Smith in 2:45 and tripped up
Greenfield 's Mark · Thoreson 2-1.

Yet, he lost the title to Franklin 's
Mike Jacobs 15·9.
Ellsworth pinned Greendale's
Chuck Bokath in 2:56 and finally
beat Honor 6-5 by a takedown in
the last seconds of the match. He,
too, lost in the finals to Greenfield 's Andre Marak 10-6.
Blake, Doug Smestad at 126,
and Jon Keiffer at heavyweight
were all beaten in their first
rounds while Todd Delabio finished fourth .
Although none of the four State
qualifiers passed the quarter finals, Coach Bowe was satisfied
with the season . Bowe said, " I
think I would have been happy
with two or three; four was great.
They have really improved."

Looking for points in the last ten seconds,
Dennis Ellsworth ( 145) work s the legs on
Bradford 's Bryan Hurd to w in 10-5.

using a tight waist, Dan Diederich (119)
fights for control over Bay View's Mike
McGee but loses the match 8·4.

Working for a tip, Tom Lux (112) manu·
evers his Bay View opponent for a 3:46 pin.

puck for a goal attempt.

Snow- blitzes blues
To some, the first
flakes of snow stimulated thoughts of spring
break and warmer
climes, but to winterweather lovers it signalled the start of their
''summer. ''
As the sun set early in the day,
laughter punctuated the usually
peaceful atmosphere of Petrifying
Springs Park as students , released
from academic responsibilities, let
loose on the snow-covered slopes
with whatever they could lay their
hands on . Toboggans, plastic
sleds and oversized tires dominated the scene .
" Someone stole my snowmobile," yelled Steve Schauer when
he realized alumnus Ron Ancevic
had taken his three foot plastic
snowmobile resembling a " Big
Wheel " sans the wheels.

" Packing the snow for the jump
was the hardest because we situated it halfway down the slope,"
senior Chris Brooks recalled . " But
as soon as it hardened enough , the
dare was simply irresistible."
Senior Ron Olson added , " A lot
of people wiped out before even
reaching the jump."
Besides the obvious hill fenced
in by two rows of tires, hardly any
of the more difficult and less accessible trails like the Bridal Trail
were used. However, a few dared .
" Don 't try Dead Man 's Run ,"
warned junior Bryan Bernhardt
about the run hidden in woods less
than 50 meters away. " The tree at
the bottom of the hill broke the
Cannonball Express in two! " he
continued , lamenting the loss of
his prized toboggan.
Skiing topped many other students priority roster as the place
to be, joining tourists escaping to
Wisconsin at Wilmot, Americana ,

Alpine Valley and Devil 's Head
" We carpool every Friday or
Sunday," smiled Steve Frederick
as classmates senior Dave Bell
and junior Mike Long joined him
on the slopes .
" If you don 't own skis, skiing
can get very expensive," complained Long . " All the skiers pay
$14 dollars for lift tickets at Wilmot's, but I have to scrounge up
an extra $11 for ski rental. "
Snowmobiling worked its way
into still other students ' schedules. " According to the Kenosha
News, the county trails were
crowded enough to justify police
officers patrolling them ," reflected senior Proceso Daulo.
"For me, the gravel pit behind
my house is as far as I have to
go," said junior Scott Carpenter.
" It makes the best race track ."
Snow occasionally touched off
some unexpected games as well.
"I can 't wait for this year's Snow

Bowl ," offered Jeff Haines, anticipating their yearly football match
in the snow. " It's a relatively fast
game, since no one wants freeze in
shirt sleeves."
Taking advantage of the cold ,
sophomores Gabe Schiavi , Jeff
Rainer , Alex Casalena , Jeff Thielbar and Scott Ginkowski joined
the Kenosha Komets to play their
favorite past time. " We practice
every Tuesday and Thursday
night," said co-captain Rainer.
" The boys play in state competition against teams like Northbrook and the Madison West Flyers , but most of them do it for the
fun of it. I remember some of
them have been at it since they
were four years old ," concluded
Coach Jack Rush.

While Cardinals captured the

In the shot put, MVP Rolf

Already having the first Big

record held by Dennis Ruhle in
'72. " Schauer planted his pole and
pushed it up to see where to hold
it," recounted Proceso Dau lo.
"The pole easily passed underneath the bar by two inches.
Steve's face twisted as he gave his
teammates his ironic 'Oh No! '
look ." Schauer completely missed

on his last but left the record to

At the WIAA Park Regional on
May 27, the Trojans placed fifth
overall with 53 points , advancing

title while Bradford 85, Case 83

Grabot switched the order on
team Captain Chad Englund . His
156-7 beat Englund's toss by seven inches. Schmitz followed with
143-5.
In the shot put , Schmitz's silver

Czarnecki ' s 60-1, the best throw in
the state at the time.
Competing inside U .W .-Parkside 's Phys. Ed. building because

Despite a poor team
performance, M. V .P. Demere Kentcy and Most
Improved Lana Solberg
salvaged the season.
Both girls competed in
the State tournament at
Madison Memorial High
School on June 6 and 7.
The girls outdoor season began
with the Ladies Trojan Invitational
on April 23, and the girls reached
a season low, taking seventh out
of a field of eight teams.
"We just came up against some
real tough competition. We still
had a few good individual performances," claimed Kentcy.
Indeed they did. Solberg captured the gold in the discus with a
throw of 109 feet, 10 inches, beating the runner-up by over 10 feet.
Also, Kentcy sprinted to a second

in the 100-meter dash , clocking
12.3. She also breasted the tape
with a 26.4 in the 200-meter dash,
placing third. In the Blue Duke Invitational at Whitefish Bay, Marie
Spann, Debbie Minshall, Kathy DiCello and Kentcy raced to a second in the 800-meter relay with a
time of 1:55.2, which wound up to
be the team's top performance of
the day.
Competing in teams, Solberg,
Trish Jimenez and Gina Merlo
combined for a third in the discus
and Solberg, Merlo and Laura
Wakefield in the shot put tossed
for fourth .
At the Big 9 Conference Meet
hosted by Tremper on May 21, the
team placed fifth, much higher
than expected .
As they had all season , Kentcy
and Solberg led the team . Kentcy
dashed to two thirds in the 100
and 200, clocking 12.22 seconds
and 26.1 respectively, both per-

sonal bests.
Solberg tossed the discus 116
feet, seven inches, her season
best, for the gold. Also, she leaped
to sixth in the triple jump, 29-7
1/2 and shot 31-10 for another
sixth.
Spann, Daniele Fossey, Minshall and Peppur Chambers in the
800-meter relay crossed the finish
line in 1:52.2 for the bronze medal.
Marie Boris hurdled to a fourth
in the 100 and 300, and Chambers
also leaped to fourth in the triple
jump with a spring of 31-10 1/4.
Boosting the team point total to
50, Minshall finished sixth in the
800 with a time of 2:38.7.
In the Racine Park Invitational
Meet at U-W Parkside on May 27,
the girls track season ended as
they placed last out of an eight
team field. Kentcy and Solberg
alone advanced to the Sectional
Meet. Kentcy qualified in the 100
and the 200, sprinting to third and

second respectively with times of
12.8 and 26.5 seconds. Solberg
hurled the discus 102 feet, 6
inches for a silver medal.
At the Racine Park Sectional on
May 29, Kentcy 's silver medal
with a 12.4 in the 100 and Solberg' s gold medal in the discus
with a throw of 116-4 3/4 advanced both girls to the WIAA
State meet at Madison Memorial
High School.
At State, Solberg 's hopes of
placing were dashed away, as her
throw of 99-10 did not qualify her
for the finals.
" I didn't feel right at the meet. If
I'd had a performance like I did at
Sectional, I would have made the
finals," expressed a disappointed
Solberg.
Kentcy, on the other hand,
sprinted to a 12.7 in the qualifying
round of the 100. In the finals, she
crossed the finish line eighth in
State, clocking 13.1.

Doubles volley at State
Although Big 9 competition served up a 4-5
season to the tennis
team, number one doubles Greg Kaldor and
John Stoebe charged for
a Big 9 championship
and a trip to State.
Volleying to win the first dual
meet of the season , the Trojans
put on a clinic against Pulaski on
April 16. At number one singles,
Greg Kaldor smashed and set his
way to a 6-2, 6-0 win . The number
two doubles team of Jody Hammond and Andy Callahan out-shot
their Ram opponents with passing
shots and put-away volleys to win
6-3, 6-0.
" Playing in a difficult conference , injuries and lack of experience were the three shots that

gave us a dismal 4-5 record . As
the season went on though , the
shots came together, and our doubles team was a hit during the
state tournament ," declared Captain Greg Kaldor.
With rocket serves and team
play at the net, the number one
doubles team of John Stoebe and
Greg Kaldor defeated Horlick 's
doubles team in three sets 6-4 , 4-6 ,
7-5 to net a first place in the Big 9
Conference Tourney .
In the third set with everything
on the line, team play became the
major factor. With the set tied at 55, the Trojans broke Horlick 's
serve by down-the-line passing
shots from Kaldor and smashing
volleys from Stoebe to go up one
game, 6-5. With the match on the
line and the score at 40-30, Stoebe
whaled a topspin serve to win the
match.
The number two duo-team of

Jody Hammond and Andy Callahan fell to Jim Waltenberg and Pat
Adamson of Horlick 7-5, 7-5 to
place second .
Callahan remarked , " We were
only points away from winning
each set, but those points were
the big ones. Unfortunately, Horlick pulled through and got the
breaks when they really counted ."
Number two singles Mark
Woerner used an aggressive serveand-volley game in the second and
third sets which paid off in a thirdplace victory 1-6, 6-4, 6-4 against
Case's Brian Taylor.
At the May 29 Sub-Sectional,
Kaldor and Stoebe won their
matches to slide through the first
round of the state tournament
with a bye.
At the WIAA State Tennis Tournament in Madison, the duo-team
of Kaldor and Stoebe made it to
the round of 16 with a win ove·

Manitowoc , 6-4 , 6-3 in Friday 's
second round at Nielsen Stadium .
The doubles team lost a marathon match to seventh-seeded Joe
Schaefer and Mark Christopherson of Arrowhead 6-7, 5-7, 6-1, 6-3.
With the match lasting three
hours and ten minutes, Stoebe
blasted backhands and forehands
out of the opponents ' reach , and
Kaldor charged the net diving for
volleys. However, they ended up
on the wrong side of the net with a
loss.
Coach Wes Holman concluded ,
" We ended a long season with a
strong finish at the State. The
team worked hard before the Conference tourney . Battling for each
shot in the first Big 9 tourney paid
off in respect from our own conference teams ."

Spring fling
Snow-laden parks and
beaches became golf
greens and baseball diamonds for Trojans as
winter blues melted.
In a survey of 180 regular, basic
and honors students, only 17 percent of the student body participated in a school spring sport.
However, an overwhelming 98
percent of the surveyed played
sports such as frisbee or basketball out of school.
Spla shing all other sports ,
swimming clocked in as the most
popular activity. Fifty percent of
the sophomore class dived in at
Anderson pool , Silver Lake or other private pools . The junior class
aim caught waves w ith 52 percent tak ing the plunge. Following
suit, 58 percent of the senior Trojans swam into springtime fun .
For many Tremperites , spring
allowed outside practice after four
frigid winter months. " On March
3, the first day the golf course was

open , I broke out my clubs and hit
the fairway s. There wa s still snow
on the ground! " commented junior Larry Jonau s.
Ca sual sports squeezed into
free time as did volleyball and basketball organized by businesses
and groups like McDonald 's and
CYC. Forty percent of the school
participated in such non-school
sports.
When traditional practice fields
were not used, sports enthusiasts
ventured toward backyards ,
beaches and even 76 percent to
their own street. " It's better to get
a few friends together in my back·
yard to play volleyball , than to use
crowded beaches. Also, it 's closer," said junior Greg Liegel.
Tremperites listed many rea·
sons for not playing in-school
sports. " Some sports I enjoy , like
sailing , are not offered by the
school. Also, when I participate in
out of school activities, I don't
have to worry about all the 'Mickey Mouse ' rules ," concluded senior David Wilk .

One-run sticks defense
Weak bats overpowered a strong .940 fielding percentage to knock
Tremper's high hopes to
a 7-9 regular season.
Grabbing the Regional
Championship at Simmons' Field over Bradford salvaged a losing
year.
Classically cold baseball weath·
er cooled Tremper sticks as the
Trojans crawled to an 0·3 record.
Fielding seven seniors and one
junior behind a young pitching
staff, Tremper broke the ice with a
5·3 Horlick defeat on April 19.
Pitcher Darryl Shampine scat·
tered four hits and struck out
eight.
" Some of my best pitching per·
formances were for losses. It's
hard to lose two games on a two
hitter," pointed out Shampine,
whose ERA was 1.85.
The Trojans then caught the
one·run blues , losing six of seven
games.
Tremper 's losing streak bot·
tomed out on game one of the
May 10 round·robin at Horlick .
Park jumped on the defense by
scoring four runs in the first in·
ning. After the first two balls were
kicked in the infield, Shampine
walked eight compared to striking
out six throughout the game.
Tremper sprang back within the
week to play the best game of
their season . After having lost six
one·run games, Tremper finally
ended on the winning end of a one·
run contest , beating Pulaski , who
at the time held first place. Sham·
pine gave up three hits, struck out
six and walked three. Pulaski col ·
lected one run which was un·
earned in the fifth .
Tremper scored in the second
when shortstop Ron Zuehlsdorf
walked, stole second, and ad·
vanced to third on a passed ball .
Third baseman Dave Thiele con·
nected with a fastball to sacrifice
Zuehlsdorf home.
The Trojans scored their win·
ning run in the fourth when Thiele,
catcher Jim Santarelli and right

234

.Baseball

fielder Jim Young connected with
one out singles .
" Coach Hlavka just told us to
go out and play to win , instead of
trying not to lose. That was the
key to beating the best three
teams at the end," said Zuehls·
dorf, who shared captain 's duties
with Santarelli and center fielder
John Andreoli .
The flammable Trojans walked
over conference winner Hamilton
13·8 and second place Case 5·4 in
their final two games, carrying the
streak into the Regional Cham·
pionship, where they met Brad·
ford .
Against Bradford on May 28,
second baseman Rob Cibrario dou·
bled to left in the first, and contin·
ued on to third on an overthrow .
Zuehlsdorf clutched a two·out sin·
gle to left to score Cibrario.
After Shampine shut down
Bradford in the bottom , the Tro·
jans stepped right back into the
batter 's box and forced two key
errors for two runs. Thiele beat
out an infield ground ball and was
sacrificed to second by left fielder
Scott Trottier.
Thiele moved to third on a wild
pitch , and Andreoli walked . Thiele
sprinted home on a wild pick·off
attempt and the fleet Andreoli
moved to third . Andreoli also
scored on a wild pitch.
In the fourth , Santarelli sing led
and advanced to second on
Young's bunt. Courtesy runner
Dennis Ellsworth flew to third on a
wild pitch , ·,nd Thiele executed a
perfect suicide down the first ba·
seline to score Ellsworth .
Bradford broke the shutout in
the seventh when an infield
ground ball scored a runner on
third.
Tremper's state playoff hopes
ended against Central in the Sec·
tionals in classic season fashion .
Tremper knocked home their
only two runs of the ballgame in
the first. Andreoli led off with a
rope to right ·center . Cibrario
watched the first pitch as Andreoli
stole his seventeenth base out of
as many attempts.
Andreoli crossed the plate on
Cibrario's single to center, and Ci·
brario scam pered to third as the

ball flew under the glove of the
charging center fielder. Cibrario
took home on a wild pitch by the
rattled Centra I pitcher.
Shampine yielded the first run
for Central by walking the lead-off
batter in the third . The next batter
doubled , scoring their first run .
The contest moved quickly to
the sixth , with the Trojans still
leading 2· 1. The lead off batter
drew a walk off Shampine, and
the next batter singled , moving
the runner to third . Shampine
struggled to find the plate , and a

wild pitch advanced the man to
second . Shampine gained his com·
posure to retire the next two bat·
ters , but the shortstop 's throw
into the dirt at first scored the two
runners . Central went on top 3·2
and hung on to the lead with a
tough defense that gunned two
players at home plate.
" In each of those one·run
losses, the opponent scored the
winning or tying run in the sixth or
seventh inning. We could have
just as well been 14·4 instead of 8·
10," speculated Hlavka.

Rain strikes out State

"It should have been
a game of who can play
the best ball, not who
can out last the weather," second baseman
Tracy Larson analyzed
about the State semi-final against Stevens
Point.
The Trojans shined to capture a
5-4 extra -inning win against the
Watertown Goslings in the quarterfinal game of WIAA Class A
State Tournament on June 11.
They spread out four runs over
seven innings, leaving 11 runners
stranded.
Although second baseman Ann
Colter prevented a third-inning run
with a diving catch , the Goslings
tied it at 3 in the fourth inning.
The Trojans regained the lead in
the fifth , 4-3. Watertown came
back hard in the seventh inning
with a game-tying run .
Slamming a solo home run ,
catcher Tracy Burbach slid head
first to lead off the bottom of the
eighth and capture the winning
run .
" I didn 't win the game. The

236

Softball

whole team won , and it was awesome. I was super glad we got to
stay for one more game! " catcher
Burbach exclaimed .
The sky began to darken as did
the Trojan momentum in the semifinal game against Stevens Point
that same day .
Tremper scored on a bases-loaded ground-out by pitcher Becky
Bertog and a shot up the middle
by third baseman Sue Palubicki to
gain themselves a two-run lead .
Despite three errors in the first,
Stevens Point took control in the
top of the fourth , scoring four
runs on four hits and three Trojan
errors.
As lightening grew closer and
drizzle enveloped the players , the
officials called the game. Thus,
the Trojans notched a third for the
WIAA State.
Earlier in the season , the Trojans could not come up with any
runs and suffered a 6-0 defeat to
Milwaukee Bay View to loose the
Big 9 Conference Championship
on May 22.
Shortstop Sue Ruhle went three
for three including a double and a
single. Bertog, Burbach, and Larson added singles.
In the Sectional semi-final on

June 3 , the Trojan sticks racked
up hits, and the defense played
five errorless innings. This type of
play landed the Trojans an 11 -3
victory over Bay View , defending
state champion . Continuous bunting had hurt the Trojans in two
previous losses to Bay View , but
Coach Candy Stein decided to
start pitcher Bertog instead of Angela Wahoski to throw Bay View
off_
"I knew they were all set for
Angela 's pitching so I figured it
would confuse them to have
Becky 's pitching style," Coach
Stein explained .
In the top of the first inning,
lead-off batter Burbach smashed a
line drive single to center field .
When Colter grounded for a fielder's choice, Burbach should have
been gunned down at second . Instead, an overthrow error to first
by Bay View's third baseman
made both runners safe.
One out later, clean-up batter
Ruhle doubled on a long line drive
down the third baseline for two
RBl's . Next, Larson singled, and
Bertog grounded out to first base,
knocking in Ruhle. It then was a 30 Trojan lead .
The Trojans held Bay View

scoreless until the fifth inning
when the Red Cats notched two
runs . The Trojans had held the
Red Cats , allowing only one hit in
the first four innings.
Bay View's threat in the fifth
scored two runs on two hits. With
two out, a runner on first, and the
number-three batter at the plate,
Coach Sojowski instructed the
batter to switch from left to a right
stance. The umpire called the batter out when she stepped away
from the box , as Bertog was already set to deliver her pitch.
Tremper advanced its lead with
two runs in the sixth and walked
away with the game in the seventh by scoring another six runs
on three hits and two errors.
After two losses earlier to Bay
View , the semi-final win mattered
the most.
"Beating Bay View in the semis
put the icing on the cake. We lost
the Big 9 title to them, but now we
knocked them out of the state finals . It was the best game we
played all year!" shortstop Ruhle
concluded.
On a double by catcher Tracy Burbach,
second base m an Ann Colter slides home
for a Regional win agai nst Brad ford .

One stroke two tnany
In sudden death overtime during the Big 9
Conference meet, Tim
Myer parred by chipping
on and putting in to ace
out Horlick's Kyle Roberts to capture tenth
place individually out of
45 competitors.
Teeing off in their first conference meet, the Trojans fell short
of Horlick by nine strokes in the
30 degree temperature. Tim Myer
posted low score with a four over
39 at Meadowbrook Country Club
in Racine. He played a par round
with bogies only on one, four , five
and seven. Mike Weipert consis-

tently hit greens in regulation to
stroke in a forty .
" We weren ' t disappointed by
our loss to Horlick because we
came within nine strokes. With
the top four scores , that means we
were off by two strokes for each
player. Horlick has qualified for
State the last three years," explained Pete Legler.
Eight days later and 40 degrees
warmer , the Trojans blew away
South as South hacked 96 more
strokes than Tremper. Jon Perri ,
medalist for the meet, finished
nine holes six over par for a 42,
playing bogey golf except for a
par on the third hole and a birdie
on the ninth.
For three consecutive Mondays, the Trojans played meets at

a home course, Kenosha Country
Club. Against Bay View , the squad
tallied 191 strokes with four players , but still beat the weaker team
by 16 shots.
After Bay View , the team lost
two meets in a row on the home
course by one shot.
" If we could have eliminated
one of our 25 doubles or worse, we
would have easily taken the
meets," commented Weipert .
Wet greens washed out WIAA
Regionals as officials rescheduled
the meet for the next day at Johnson's Park. A fifth place finish
bunkered all hopes of the Trojans
qualifying for State.
Bristol Oaks, Tremper 's practice course , hosted the Big 9 Conference meet. "The difficult pin

placements caused the course to
play harder than it had all year.
On number 14, the pin placement
on the side of a huge hill made my
shot to the green roll away from
the pin," stated Perri . On six
holes, pins protected by bunkers
blocked out an easy shot to the
green in regulation . Consequently ,
the Trojans trailed in at fourth
place with a 354.
"Even though I turned in a
tenth place scorecard, I knew that
the whole team could have had a
much stronger showing at the
Conference Championship," concluded Myer.

Whether it was enjoying Student Life, joining Groups, playing
Sports or just going to Classes ,
time was money, and that meant
business for all Tremperites.
Student Life rang up charges
for the newest fashions from Gingiss, Holleb's and Gino's to make
Homecoming, Sub Deb, Prom and
Senior Banquet just right . Living it
up on weekends also stacked up
cash for the usual hangouts, Burger King, Pizza Popper and the
Spot, after home games and sockhops.
During freetime, Group initiation fees, Bike and M&M candy

sales and car washes kept bookkeeping skills sharp. Car washes
at McDonald 's and Hardee's kept
Groups out of the red , and making
money profited fun .
Softball, tennis and soccer
coached athletes to Super Sports
for red or blue " Trojan " sweats,
the Nike Factory Outlet for shoes
and shorts , and the Sheridan Pro
Shop for other topnotch equipment. Memberships to the Body
Shop and Raquetball Club shaped
and trimmed sportos in hopes of
Trojan victories .
Passing from Class to Class also
charged Tremperites. Fees ranged

Comp Style Manuel to $50 for

Ringing cash registers and slamming cash boxes reminded Trojans that money made things happen . Through 180 days of Sports,

students cashed in on big-time

Car games
sideswipe
boredom
Despite the fact that playing with
cars could cause accidents , seldom
have high school students harmed
themselves by enjoying a game of Pedidle, Slug Bugs, Alphabet search, nor by
spying state license plates.
After a hair-raising incident with a
Chinese fire drill, a student thought
twice. "We had a Chinese fire drill with
two cars at a stoplight by Regency Mall ,
after we all got back into the car, one of
my friends got locked out of the car. It
was funny when the light turned green,
but my friend could have gotten hurt,"
noted sophomore Rebecca Klock.
Teens have been parking their cars in

the middle of a road and screaming
"Chinese fire drill" since the 50's, but
the 80's innovative teens have shifted to
some more original and less hazardous
automobile fun .
Screaming " pedidle" and bashing the
roof of the car at the sight of an " one
eyed car " or tallying up points from
sighting " slug bug " Volkswagons ere·
ated car-game hysteria. Describing a
made·up road game, junior Maria Cascio
told of tricks pulled on drivers. " You
drive up next to another car stopping at
a stoplight and slowly shift into reverse.
This makes the driver next to you think
he is moving forward ."
Senoir Dawn Fisher offered car decoration, using leftover clothes from a
rummage sale . " My friends and I tied
boots to the car doors, shirts to the window wipers , and hung other articles of
clothing out the windows," said Fisher.
The quest to save students from
" highway hypnosis " zigzagged throughout teen lives.
Breaking the monotony of fourth hour lunch, a
red light p ro vok es a Chinese fi re drill at the inter·
sec ti on of 26 avenue and 80 street .

confusion
" No! " shrieked junior Patsy Carre·
vetta as the school's electricity was ab·
ruptly cut from the power station ,
snatching her unsaved for·next loop pro·
gram from the Hewlett-Packard screen .
On September 10, a fourth hour 40·
minute power failure interrupted both
students ' and faculty 's daily schedules .
Exclamations of both anguish and joy
permeated the halls as confused teach·
ers , receiving no answer from the dead
phone lines, wandered from their re·
spective rooms to see of each was the
only one affected.
Whereas most classes simply lifted
window blinds to relight the room, class·
rooms without windows posed ques·
tions without a bright answer. To solve
their query, the entire A Capella choir
ventured outside to sing "Gloria" by Vi·
valdi in the sunlight.
" My photography class made use of
the situation. We practiced rolling film
on steel reels in the dark," reflected
Mrs. Sandra Jacoby, yearbook adviser.
The single small window in Room 147
illuminated an otherwise flawlessly dark
room .
For those who needed electricity for
more than just light, the situation
proved to be a hassle. "Mr. Negri's over·
head projector quit in the middle of the
history quiz, so I said to myself, 'Hey,
what a break! We don't have to finish!'
Then he started to read the questions
aloud," remembered junior Corey Niles.

Ben Franklin said:
'If all print e r.~ were
d etermined not to
print an ything until
th ey were sure it
would offend nobody,
there would be very
little printed.'

Additionally, electrical mac hines and
computers shut down during the pow er
outage. " I had to extend the program
deadline for fourth hour another day . To
finish out the hour, the clas s took notes
on the next program instead of working
on programs," said Mr. Gerald Cooper ,
Computer I teacher.
For some, power failure and interrup·
tion of studies went unnoticed. 4A and
4B juniors and seniors had already
zipped out of the parking lot, heading
toward a McD.L.T. or Hardee 's Chicken
Combo, while sophomores listened to
gossip instead of Tears for Fears in the
Commons. "I was 'out to lunch ' Maybe
it'll happen someday when I'm in
class ," joked senior Jeff Haines.
Those who opted against cafeteria
food returned in time to hear Mr.
Regner 's praise over the P.A .... I want
to thank the students and faculty for
handling the situation maturely."

Eyes fluttering shut, her head bobbed
up and down. The scene continued until
the period two Math Analysis Honors
discussion on induction spurred a reac·
tion. Laura Nighbert hoisted her head
and asked a question, a question to the
subject at hand.
Nighbert had served up popcorn, and
ice cream to the guests at Six Flags
Great America in Gurnee, Illinois, until 2
a.m. that same morning.
Eyes half closed Nighbert comment·
ed through a yawn, "I have a lot of fun
working, but it really does take a lot out
of my school performance and involve·
ment in school activities." She sacri·
ficed sleep not only to buy the typical
teenage necessities of clothes, gas and
records, but this senior also labored to
earn money for college and to receive
work experience for the future.
Nighbert interwove her two worlds,
work and school, with a calculated
schedule up until October 26. She struggled to finish up her last Physics problem and added the last accent mark to
her French V composition during work
breaks and even in the morning before
school. Standing out as an exceptional
honor student, Nighbert pulled in a 5.78
grade point average, slipping only a few
points from her 6.0 average before her
job. "I feel my grades are still good, but
I'm trying to get them back up to where
they were before I started at Great
America," said Nighbert.
Considering her exam and class per-

formance reflected by Nighbert's fourth
place rank in the senior class and her
G.P.A . that spoke for itself, basically
teachers did not interrupt her restful
moments in class. " I think my teachers
might realize the situation. Even so, it's
pretty embarrassing to know that others
are watching my head bob up and
down," stated Nighbert.
Of 180 polled, 49 per cent of the stu·
dent body put in hours after 10 p .m .
Thirty-eight per cent felt their lower
grades were due to working late and
nodding off in class. With those late
night working hours demanded by most
teen-suited jobs, many students opted
to remain poor and punch in their hours
at home laboring over assignments.
"With the one hour of homework for
each class recommended by the school
board, who has tirne for a job?" com·
mented junior Brian Helmke.

After closing at McDonald 's the night before.
senior Alex Yamauchi falls asleep while studying .

getting stuck with the dreaded ' LEFT'
scissors, they really served my purpose
well . I'm happy for the little things in
my left-handed life! " joked senior Tami
Ironside.
Senior high problems surfaced from
interaction with the rest of the right·
handed world . Eating in the cafeteria
was cramped enough , but it was v~rtual·
ly impossible when a leftie and a rightie
ended up next to each other.
" The solution to that problem is to
eat at the end of the table on the aisle. I
unfortunately found that after I bumped
my friend's chocolate milk into his lap,"
laughed sophomore Mike Blank .
Another common experience was jos·
tied elbows in the Chemistry lab. When
a rightie and a leftie teamed up, it was
pretty certain that Mr. Glynn 's $3
Chemistry Breakage Card got punched
to its maximum .

Lefties slip
hands on a
right world
In a right-handed world , lefties stick
out like a sore left thumb. Being left·
handed causes hassles unknown to the
majority of the population , yet it yields
a certain distinction. Instead of " left "
out, lefties are unique and proud of it.
Based on a survey of 180 students
representing an honors, regular and ba·
sic class from each grade, approximate·
ly nine per cent of the student body is
left-handed and have experienced the
problems familiar to lefties alone.
Common , everyday activities often
became obstacles to overcome. From
kindergarten on , lefties go it alone in the
battle against tools designed for the
right-thinking majority as they graduat·
ed from specially designed scissors to
spiral notebooks.
" As much as the other kids hated

ARNESON'S

Daily elbow wrestling matches

Rather than being a stigma though ,
left-handedness has become a sort of
status symbol. Springing up right and
left were stores, like that at the Grand
Avenue Mall, completely devoted to the
sale of leftie articles such as coffee

Junior John Serpe concluded , " Being

Boosters
cash in for
Glass backboards scored points with
the basketball players , computers installed for golf training improved
strokes, and an ice maker cooled brutal
injuries.
Who provided the money? The
Tremper High School Athletic Booster
Club donated time and effort to improve
interscholastic sports. The Pancake and
Porkie Breakfast, pizza sales, concession stands at basketball games and
membership fees collected $10,252.20
in three years , which responded in dollar signs to coaches ' requests. In the fall
of 1985, boosters purchased instructional cassettes for boys and girls track
and a record board for girls swimming .
Boosters peddled pizzas and also
hosted the sport awards nights. At the

fall assembly on November 26, over 200
people appeared . " The turnout wa s
very good for the first awards night. I've
always wanted this kind of recognition
for the athletes, " said Mr. Leonard Apple, Athletic Coordinator.
The Athletic Sport Boosters boasted
about 200 members. The boosters met
every third Tuesday of every month .
The planning of fund -raiser and sport·
award nights occurred during this time.
From among 200 members and offi·
cers President Dan Ouimet, Vice President Jerry Wade, Treasurer Micheline
Hujik, Secretary Connie Quilling , and
Responding Secretary Vern Ward , Oui·
met singled out Ward as the driving
force of the organization. As one of the
founders Ward actively volunteered
time even though his had children already graduated. At the installation of
the softball bleachers in the spring of
1985, Ward lent his back for the task,
along with other volunteers, to pouring
and leveling off cement. This hands-on
construction minimized costs for the
Booster Club.
Athletes, too, recognized the physical
presence of the donated objects that
bolster individual sport programs. " The

record board for girls sw imming w as
muc h apprec iated by the swimmers,"
commented junior Jennifer De Kok .

Shuttle
To 2000
As the all new Jetson s fused into
channel 60 at 4 p .m . on weekday after·
noons, teen s tuned into the future more
and more. With that in mind, 76 sur·
veyed students blasted off, in imagina·
tion only , into the year 2000.
From a survey taken of four Engl ish
classes , the randomly·chosen 76 re·
sponded with forecast s ranging from a
computer·controlled society to atomic
war to future success .
Those questioned revealed predic·
tions on how they would earn their
bread·and·butter capsule s in the year
2000. They also pinpointed what would
be the same and what would be differ·
ent in the 21st Century.
Some students believed computer
and electronic takeover would boot
them into future decades. Careers , too ,
leaned toward the computer. Almost
75% of those surveyed agreed with
sophomore Joanna Dennis. She predict·
ed , " Computers will be a major part of
lives in the future. Everyone will have
their own computer. Most small factory
jobs will be replaced by computers, and
this will open up new jobs for program·
mers.
Senior Rich Willoughby , on the other
hand , disputed the popular ruling . " Con·
trary to what people think , the world
isn 't going to 'snap ' - we're not going
to be robots and have M artian saucers
to fly to work in ," said Willoughby .
Like computers, the future of war and

peace played across in studen t s' minds.
World pea ce proposed a better future
for all , but 77% directed speculation to·
ward the inevitable outbreak of war. Ju·
nior Cindy Platt believed , " There will
still be rivalry among countr ies and the
possibility of war w ill still exist. "
Although none of those polled looked
for careers in the armed forces , teens
looked forward to aspiring sports ca ·
reers , pol itical positions and business
management. Senior Candice Baumgar·
ten decided her calling lay in a career
outside the household . " Hopefully , I'll
have a pretty good job, possibly in the
medical field , and I'll be making good
money. Maybe I'll even get married and
start a family, but I don 't want to be a
housewife."
As the future _revealed changes for
many of Tremper 's students, senior
Gary Margetson laughingly projected ,
" In the year 2000, I'll probably still be
trying to graduate from high school. "

A s th e future bec k ons teen s, senior Al Rodriguez

Spirit bell
cheers ring
class unity
Unleashing Trojan battle cries in the
gym at the Fall Sports Assembly on
September 19, sophomores, juniors and
seniors spelled out class spirit with V+
C-T-0-R-Y in a deafening effort to command the spirit bell. Different from the
past four years, the loudest grade not
only earned the " class with the most
spirit " title, but also administrators

Ringing in the senior victory at the Blood Drive
spirit bell competition, blood drop Tara Pu terbaugh and doctor Shawn Wolf express their
" SENIOR '86 SPIRIT. "

awarded the spirit bell as that symbol.
In 1981 , use of the bell discontinued
because of student apathy , according to
Student Activities Director Gary Paulauskas. However, in 1985, Student
Congress resurrected the bell to renew
school spirit. Paulauskas explained ,
" Since the students could get involved
in the assemblies by cheering for their
class , fewer disciplinary problems ,
along with more excitement, resulted."
From shaving balloons in the cafeteria during the Homecoming pep assembly on October 11 to tossing eggs during
other Spirit weeks, students won the
bell by collectively gaining the most
points for sophomore, junior or senior
classes.
Key Club's 13th annual barrel drive
also utilized the bell to boost participation . Greenbacks and silver dominated
class and staff barrels with the exception of the sophomores. " Putting five
dollars worth of pennies in the sophomore barrel really put them back into
their place," boasted junior Corey Sepanski. Even though the staff came
through to overpower the classes by
14,000 points, seniors cashed in for second with 4,000 points ahead of the sophomores at the December 20 assembly.
The Blood Drive kick-off dance on
February 8 charged up Spirit Bell competition. Tricycle, four-legged and potato sack races held during " Shout "
breaks deadlocked the juniors and seniors. Although Sophomore President
Gina Boyd out-ate Junior President Stacey Stanich and Senior President Ann
Colter, in the class president pie-eating
contest, senior David Gallo had already
scarfed up his chocolate cream faster
then Dan Gurgol and Brian Holland to
clinch the bell for the seniors.
" At first, I didn't know what the bell
was for, but after the first assembly ,
every class wanted to have it, " stated
junior Jon Euting.

Cosby fans
laugh off
homework
"But Daaad, I'm almost finished with
my homework! I just want to watch The
Cosby Show. Please, I promise I'll go
back to my room and work on my term
paper for Comp. for College as soon as
it is over!!"
Why did students' eyes spend a half
hour every Thursday glued to a television set? Junior Cathy Rizzo remarked,
"I like The Cosby Show because it
makes familiar problems funny rather
than tragic." Sophomore Carolyn Lueck
added, "Cosby's spontaneity gives the
show even more humor and actually
invites me to sit down, relax and put off
my homework for another half hour."
According to the A.C. Neilsen Co. ratings from one week of October 13,
1985, The Cosby Show had ranked

number one since September. The show
portrayed the real problems of family
life in an entertaining way . From dealing
with Denise modeling the latest "baroque" fashions to coping with her latest heartbreak, a teen could easily slide
into the character's shoes for a half
hour on Thursday night.
Each week teens and families snuggled in with a bag of Doritos and a sixpack of Classic Coke on Thursday
nights at 7 p .m. to "roll in the aisles" as

Rudy and her friend tried to create
grape jelly in a La Machine. What they
really created was their own "Purple
Rain" on Channel 4. Other students,
however, could not spare the T.V . time.
When asked to name a favorite T .V.
show, they innocently replied, "Televi·
sion, what's that? Who's got the time?"

Putting aside Psychology for 30 more minutes,
senior Shawn Wolf catches Cosby 's latest cut·ups.

Bodies flex
for student
applause
Gulping down whoppers faster than
usual , about 200 students rushed back
from Burger King during 5B to see the
muscles from The Body Shop. Eight
men and one woman flexed rippling
muscles to promote body building and
power lifting.
Senior Mike Willkomm proved his
strength to his peers by dead-lifting 415
pounds. Junior Todd Daun repeated the
same lift with 465 pounds.
Proving that the owner does not just
sit around, Maynard McCumber deadlifted 600 pounds. Also squatting 502
pounds , Hugh Perrone psyched himself
up with deep breathing and encouraging
cheers from students.
Following the showing of strength,
graduates Sam Salituro, Rudy Waluch,
Tom Bertog and Steve Wilson struck
body poses. Proving that not just men

can build muscles, Maryann Hydan also
posed for the cheering crowd .
Modeling to " Sunday Bloody Sunday ," the body builders competed for
the loudest applause. During 5B, Salituro demonstrated the crab and front
double bicep and claimed first by a
close margin .
" Their bodies are heaven," complimented sophomore Jennifer Todd . Girls
drooled over the body builders' muscles
that bulged from tanned and oiled bodies.
Approximately 15 Tremper students
belonged to The Body Shop, according
to Randy Maas. "Pumping iron all year
at The Body Shop pays off when I go to
Silver Lake in the summer," concluded
Mark Goetz.

Responding to " Let 's hear it for Hugh!" Hugh
Perrone squats 502 pou nd s in the Commons.
Muscling up for applause, Steve Wilson, from the
Body Shop , fl exes for the 5B c rowd on Marc h 7.

Life after T
gobbles up
big bucks
As June 12 crept closer to seniors,
they faced after-graduation decisions.
From a survey of 60 seniors selected
randomly from honors, regular and basic level classes, 87 percent decided to
continue their educations at college or
technical school.
Thirty-seven percent planned to reside in Wisconsin but not at home for
college. " I want to see how I can handle
being on my own at Whitewater." commented senior Kari Schultz.
Over half of the seniors polled com-

mitted to share tuition costs w ith their
parents. " Even though I am not thrilled
to pay for some of my tuit ion , I feel it
will help me face my future expenses
more easily," admitted senior Michelle
Cairo.
An overwhelming 79 percent banked
some bucks working during the summer at a variety of places including
Great America, Burger King and Sears.
" The money I earned was for clothes,
insurance on my motorcycle and any
other expenses for GTI," remarked senior Kirk Blaisdell , a McDonald 's employee.
As the subject of after-graduation de·
cisions popped up, seniors faced big·
buck responsibilities of post-high school
life.

they asked me to spell my name. Not

everyone started laughing, then I real ized it was my last name they wanted ,"

On an absolute schedule , time
marched students from class to class .
Yet, occasionally , the student body took
time out for an educational extra. The
2A-2B assemblies numbered four.
On Nov. 13, Mr. Bi ll Sanders boosted
the student body 's motivation and self·
esteem. Since Sanders grew up as a
skinny kid unsure of himself, he wanted
to help teens with problems. He had
been speaking to high school students
for eight years, and he stated he saw
himself in 80 percent of those kids .
On Dec.3, Mr. Dave Roever , Vietnam
veteran , spread inspiration to students
and faculty . When he was with the River
Patrol Division of the Navy, an enemy
sniper struck Roever as he prepared to
throw a phosphorous grenade into an
enemy bunker. Over 75 percent of his
body was severely burned , and he lost
his sight and hearing on the right side.
Grabbing students' attention with
statements like, " I hate war, but I hate
slavery more than I hate war. I'm proud
of the scars for my country , and I'm
proud to be born in the U.S.A .. "
Roever recounted the 14·month peri·
od during which he went through 15
operations and surv ived. Roever said,
" We all have our problems, if you want
your life and your country to be some·
thing specia l, you must bel ieve in your·
self. When you're hurt, you gotta come
back fightin' and screamin'."

At the Dec. 9 dance, Key Club kicked
off the Christmas food·drive. For 12
days, students dragged in canned foods
and extra change for needy families in
Kenosha . The results stacked up at the
Dec. 20 2A·2B assembly . Staff and stu·
dents alike collected over 6 ,000 pounds
of food . Mr. Richard Prince, the presi·
dent of Kiwanis Club, spoke about coop·
erative youth and community service.
The Madrigal Singers performed, and
the drama class acted out their version
of "The Night Before Christmas." Mr.
Terry Lawler then warmed the crowd
with a story of his past Christmases.
" I thought the assembly brought us
closer together for the holidays. It really
made me feel good when Gina Carra·
vetta gave the $1050 check to the Soup
Kitchen," revealed junior Jenny Mayer.
Ending the school year's 2A·2B as·
semblies on March 5 , a computerized,
multimedia film experience featured
music from Vision Quest, "New Atti·
tude" by Aretha Franklin and " Power of
Love" by Huey Lewis. The Prize incor·
porated ten slide projectors to convey a
message on self·i:notivation.
" I thought The Prize was the best 2A2B assembly we've had all year, " con·
eluded sophomore A111i Bouterse.

Kneeling down to a more persona l level. Mr. Bill
Sanders talks to students about motivation and
self·esteem in the auditorium on Nov. 13.

Good times bury budget
by Ann Co lter

Producing the money for this $25,000
book sure was not easy and, as the
staff's business manager, many fond
memories were created in our quest for
the cash.
Whenever the staffers saw me taping
up on of my "creative" posters listing
candy money due dates and ad require·
ments, I could hear the grumbles and
groans, for they knew I meant business.
The ad drive, car wash and candy bars
were all a pain in our pica ruler, but
thanks to all for hanging in there.
As a member of the writing and pho·
tography staffs, I have heard every com·
plaint imaginable. I have to admit, the
Josten's slogan "We're all in this togeth·
er," no matter how queer we thought it
was, explains it best. One staff could
not have made it without the other.
Now to Laura Karges, Wendy Owen
and Julie Selsberg, the three E-in·C's
that were the "guts" of this book; we all
owe you a lot. Laura, you're a heck of
an asset but if you ever sell another
candy bar when I am, I'll rip up your
"Rol ling Stones" magazine.

Wendy, thanks for all the talks,
laughs and letting me stay over all night
working on the computer. When you go
to Madison, leave the bran at home.
Stick with Captain Crunch. It won't get
soggy!
Julie, you still have to get me back,
(but you won't) for the time I was
crouched behind the door and fooled
you into thinking that no one was going
to answer the phone. Then, just as you
finally reached for the receiver I popped
up and snatched it! Every time the
phone rings I'll be thinking of you. I
guess you will have to come to Texas
after all!
Wendy and Julie thanks for your
friendship and encouragement, it means
the world to me. To think my favorite
line was "Hey, what have you done for
me lately?" You did so much more than
you will ever know. I'll never forget you
guys.
J, it has been one long year, but it
was well spent. Trying to finish before
my Texas deadline of June 21 was hec·
tic, I know. Thank you for all your help

and understanding as an adviser. Mrs.
Jacoby, you truly are a "classic" lady!
To Kris Derwae and Fernando Paz,
you both have also been a great force
behind our success and don't get nearly
the credit you deserve. On behalf of
everyone, thank you for your photography efforts as editors.
As time flew by, our friendships and
accomplishments grew greater. I'll remember every one of you each time I
reflect back on the this Big Tim e sue·
cess.

Editors push film on time
by Fernando Paz and K rts Derwae

As the photography staff attempted text·
book assignments , one-on-one training and im·
promptu tests , our efforts paid off Big Time
as the staff shifted dead weight into produc·
tion .
Starting off the year with eight inexperi·
enced photographers was not a piece of cake .
However, we saw a bright future and dove in
with Der and Fern 's " Crash Course in Photography: Everything You ' ve Always Wanted to
Know, but Waited Until Now to Learn."
The returning seniors were "classic" examples of the responsibility our staff carried and
did not hesitate to put in more than their
share .
Returning member and Assistant Photography Editor, Keir Powell, kept his cool in the
warm climate of the darkroom. He devoted
fourth hour and seventh hour first semester
to continuous darkroom duties and kept us
informed of the writing staffer 's priorities.
Another second-year staffer, Kevin Sampica, used his photographic knowledge from
day one. Kevin shot the much needed track
photos at both home and away meets. When
he had to distribute his time between Classic
and Tempest duties, he still managed to com ·
plete his work in the highest degree of quality.
Lisa Liegel proved that she was more than
worthy of the airhead award as a photographer. She casually yelled, "Kris, the dark·
room is flooding!" as water streamed into the
hallway and relieved her sunburned face with
a rare can of Dust-off. However, her secondyear experience shined through with quality
photos.
Grasping for time between schoolwork and
two jobs, Gina Carravetta's excuses of "I
didn't have time" and " I forgot the camera "

became all too predictable by the year's end.
Yet , when Gina had the time and a camera,
her photos reflected her determined efforts.
So often Gina made time for needed shots.
Showing off her super-human qualities,
Ann Colter managed to wind-up Classic " busi·
ness " and photos for her own Ads section,
plus make occasional trips to the darkroom ,
all during fourth hour. She also finished off
required photo credits, journal reviews and
photo critiques without a single complaint.
At the end of every quarter, Sherry Krebs
became a familiar face in the last-minute
lunch labs. Though she was often taken over
by procrastination , Sherry managed to com·
plete her requirements on time.
As Tina Schutz produced an exceptional
musical , her performance as a photographer
fell below her own standards . Yet, she pulled
through and performed at her highest level for
other quarters of the year. Shooting every
baseball game displayed her dedication .
Scott Stein exchanged his paper and pencil
for a camera and en larger. He began his pho·
tography career thinking Classic was a " blow
off" course. However, he soon realized that
being a photographer requires time and effort
and ended several quarters with over 100%.
Robin Sprague was a new addition to our
staff, but he was not new to photography.
With his innovative thinking and superior
skil ls, Robin secured the position of next
year's Photo Editor without a doubt.
Holly Christofferson , not knowing the difference between the shutter release button
and the re w ind crank, encountered her first
state of photography confusion at the Fall
Sports Assem bly. Through hard work and the
determination to learn, her photography in-

creased in quality and her leadership skills
landed her a position of Assistant Photogra·
phy Editor.
Another inexperienced photographer we
took under our wing was Jenny Goergen. Jen·
ny began the year with an eagerness to learn,
which in the end rewarded her with an Assis·
tant Photography Editor Position.
From snapping photos of high-action kara·
te to the more relaxing assignment of a trip to
the zoo, first-year staffer , Lisa Nielson , displayed a certain flexibility which often
brought us original photographs. Lisa also
made the time to shoot the "impossible" as·
signments not a soul could take .
Sara Neuenschwander 's airheaded humor
kept us going when the going got tough . Her
outstanding number of 21 trips to the dark·
room fourth quarter established her a second
home and also proved valuable for the staff.
The title of Photography Editor reveals
some big time responsibilities . From shooting
everyone' s left-over, messed-up or lost assignments to spending Christmas vacation in the
darkroom, we, Photography Editors Kris Der·
wae and Fernando Paz, learned the true meaning of independence. While J was spending
nine-tenths of her time motivating the writing
staff, we chose to take charge on a daily basis
by selecting required reading, assigning dark·
room and photo responsibilities and even de·
termining the number of exposure seconds to
maximize print quality .
Being the bad guy is never a good feeling .
Filling out a fellow student's, or even a close
friend 's failure notice, or turning over a
fourth -hour skipper to Mrs. Jacoby can pro·
duced much friction . The question is "Who
really is the bad guy?"
Yet, the fun and games have their times .
The long talks in the darkroom and the base·
ball games with the pica rulers verified to the
staff that editors are human too.
The entire photography staff is entitled to
much more credit than we receive . However,
we captured the glorious rewards of publicity
through a double-page spread as well as nu·
merous other Classic photos appearing in the
Tempest through the aid of Kevin Sampica.
The writing staff's constant nagging and
last-minute assignments often transformed
our darkroom into Walgreen's One-Day Photo·
finishing. Even when rushed, time is the critica l factor in photography. This staff commit·
ted the time to make a print four times to
remove dust or add the right filter, the time to
wait for the action shot, the time to reshoot
for better quality. Lunch hours, fourth hours
and after school hours added up for Big Time.

Big Time with a deadline
Luckily the theme was not On Time, as
JAPitis Uunior attitude problem) touched
upon the staff near the close of the year. Yet ,
" We ' re all in this together " T's , which staffers
were forced to purchase, constantly reminded
weekend drifters of yearbook priorities.
Student Life 's LIFE TIME balanced be·
tween Mark Hervat's deadline doodles and
Jackie Pileski 's picture·perfect Mini Mag designs. As Rick Matoska, Hervat's partner in
crime, squealed into deadlines, Student Life
Editors Esther Marianyi and Tara Puterbaugh
rolled in at semester to relieve Editor Jim
Hammelev as Student Life's big brother. Ham melev clocked in overtime in Minneapolis to
dazzle all with Student Life and Time Out
eyecatchers.
As surprise editor of the year , Sports Editor
Proceso Daulo ranked staffers ' deadlines be·
fore his own . Kirk Gunhus, surprise staffer of
the year-class clown turned deadline deadly,
handed in copy number one 16 days early .
Computer whiz kid Larry Jonaus popped in
on summer days to join E-in-C's in the final
deadline marathon . Mary Bursae reported the
outside and the inside of the sports scene to
surface as Classic gossip columnist .
Tackling an unfamiliar section , Academics
Editor Michelle Cairo filed teacher faces from
side bar to side bar without a flaw and pounded out solid stories. Academics Romeo, Jeff
Somers added a fresh zeal to the section with
"5 Minutes at Tremper. .. Sweet Sherry VanWie 's 4 a.m. bright·as·ever smiles cheered diehard staffers , like herself, still plugging away.
Kirsten Powell, too, proved to be a winner
when she agreed to drop her own completed
layout of fluff to redesign and write another
academic winner in March. Although jetting
off to parlez francais without wiping up " Not

a Drop,.. when Julie Peltier did put pen to
paper, she printed A-1 copy.
Despite her party animal award , Classes
Editor Simone Sargent tamed down to brain
storm THE Big Time theme and creative approaches to every story she wrote.
Peltier 's other ruler and yearbook jester,
Margo Vite barked up the right tree with her
coon dog story and stamped tiny lips across
dummy sheets , all in sharing fun . Darryl
Shampine's attention to detail starting with
" Down on the Steinbrink Farm " produced a
string of flawless layouts, until he struck out
with baseball . Big Time's on-the-spot report·
er, John Ruffolo grooved to Revelation tunes
before attempting the spread and wrapped up
not only one, but two sports layouts.
Groups Editor Dianne Anderson tackled her
own divisional as she was always willing to go

improved, goes tp Julie Dickow for indexing
beyond June 12, and 14, and 16, and.. .Group 's Juliet, Robin Pious wrote and rewrote the Cosby copy six times with an under·
standing smile each time. Although editors
had to keep a tight crop on Craig Sucharda
after he lost his way between lunch and the
awards ceremony at the U .W. Whitewater
workshop , his quick wit and off.the·wall jokes
won him back yearbook privileges .
So many complaints , whines , moans,
groans and threats of ' 'I'm out of here at
semester" bounced through the cramped upstairs office. Yet, creativity never stifled, the
27 staffers willingly cranked out even more
time phrases and pages. The staff weathered
through tough times, fun times, nap times
and work times, all adding up to one 290page Big Time.

Apple Ile computer blues byte Big Time
by Laura Karges

As late nights, early mornings and home·
work at National Scholastic Press Association
yearbook camp in Minneapolis Minnesota,
surfaced the Big Time theme, Editor·in·chief
responsibilities engulfed school and even fam·
ily priorities. Yet, hours upon hours of endless
headline counting paid off as final proofs
sparked NSPA All-American images.
Returning from Las Vegas on September 4,
I discovered 21 yearbook rookies ready to
learn about picas and computers. Yet, even
the three Editors·in·chief admitted that they
knew close to nothing about the two Apple lie
monsters. However, as the year progressed,
even the once confusing Spell Checker pro·
gram simplified to the game of who had the
least amount of suspect words. I think the one
suspect word that I found on April 1, during
the seven day "must mail" deadline, wins.
Even when staffer demands flared most
tempers, Wendy Owen managed to direct the
staff with her easy-going personality, a job I
could not do. Starting with the first deadline
of " Can you believe what he did on his lay·
out?" until the final days in the Classic office,
Wendy, you have kept me laughing. For let·

ting the rugrats bombard your house with
triplicates and thesauruses in hands on week·
nights and weekend days and nights, may
you never have to search for a missing sports
disk again .
Mr. and Mrs. Owen not only allowed the
staff to invade their home, but also served up
the pizzas and pop, joked about the hour-long
storm-warning siren.
From not knowing Julie Selsberg at all to
spending a 20-hour deadline at her house, we
combined layout and copy ideas and survived
the Easter deadline during our senior year. I
will never forget the trip to Christman 's when
the question, " What if she's there when we
get back?" burned us when we got back to
your house. You and Wendy are too much,
walking all over Minnesota for a Paul Young
poster. Good luck at Northwestern in Chica·
go, the big·time city.
With Julie and Wendy's style info. and my
knowledge of where anything under the sun
could be found in the Classic Office, we scrab·
bled to complete 290 pages inspite of erased
disks and missing grease pencils.
To the lady two inches taller than I, Mrs.

Jacoby, I really appreciate all the advice on
everything from family problems to flopping
photos. In sophomore year , you said , " Laura ,
don 't be afraid to say what 's on your m ind ."
Through two years of yearbook , I have
learned to express my opinion and to value
others ' opinions. If it was not for your com·
ment, I would be vegetating in the world .
Putting up with my late·late nights and my
missing Easter dinner, Mom, Dad, Randy , Hai·
ley, Sam and Sarah thanks for all your sup
port.
We, Wendy , Julie and I, even the staff,
wanted a Big Time yearbook . Yet, we never
suspected the time, endless hours of inspiring
reluctant reporters, checking layout and type
details in the staff manual , and editing cap·
tions and copy that does not quite fit, in that
phrase. As for big, BIG is the word for mesh·
ing 29 personalities into the 1986 Classic. For
the students, the editors·in·chief, section edi·
tors and staff recap your year to revive your
memories each time you reopen these pages,
memories of 1985·86 Big Time!

Cut-ups ease timeline
by Julie Selsberg

1985-86. A big year with big times . I naively
kidded myself thinking that this yearbook
was not going create any more all -nighters.
This plan shattered at the very first deadline,
or sleep-over to some, as 27 wide-eyed staff·
ers tore through my house in search of a
knowledgable editor to explain just one more
time how to count captions.
A giggling trio of juniors kicked off the year
determined to add to the phrase "'We're all in
this together. so we might as well have some
fun!" Loose pig eyes and shedded snake skin
contributed to the every-day adventure found
in the Classic office. With Easter vacation
came a record five-day deadline. Some staff
members remained inside clicking away at
computer keyboards; others caught a few
rays on my front lawn in the 88-degree sun
while making copy corrections.
Stubborn disks refusing to open tried my
temper. but Laura Karges. our little co-E·in·C.
always kept her cool. Her witty personality
surfaced with our Sensible Speller suspect
words contest. Her metriculous details and
pencil sharp precision on everything from the
staff manual to the Movin ' in theme page put
in the clean touch Big Time needed.
Mrs. Jacoby's midnight Tae Kwon Do tied
everyone in knots. She's a great kidder and
Suiss Mocha drinker, but an even better ad·
viser. We owe 75 percent of Big Time 's sue·
cess to our miniature miracle worker. Dr. J.
As class president. Ann Colter certainly

gave senior spirit her all. She was a true lead·
er in yearbook too. An Index junkie, Colts
slaved over a hot disc drive up until her mid·
June departure. She always cheered me up,
whining "I hate it when you 're crabby, lighten
up. Sels!" I admire her determination,
thoughtfullness and especial ly her uncanny
ability to whip up the best batch of chocolate
chip cookies! I miss you already, Skipper!
This leads me to my other co, Wendy
Owen, who also has an uncanny ability to
make me do some pretty off·the·wall things
like taking unexpected road trips to Madison .
With this position came the guarantee of fun
that goes along with being with Wendy. We
often spent 24·hours exchanging sarcastic
comments, laughing all the while. I could go
on for pages, but I think I'll end here with
"'Boy. am I going to miss you!"
Incidents like the "'what did you think of us
in the beginning" rap sessions will keep
memories of the good friend behind each staff
member fresh in my mind.
During the last few weeks of school, as it
became harder and harder to stay on task,
senior glory days livened up to the point
where I could have left school in a rush to
attack the "'rea l world ." Yearbook drew me
back to school, though , after graduation, and
I am not sorry for that. It gave me a chance to
take a last gander at Tremper, myself, my
friends and, of course, to wrap up one year of
my life in Big Time.

Big Time grinds into insight
by Wendy Owen

Big Time wasted no time and engulfed my
life from July to June. Engulf it did , but " the
book " (as it was known by those who knew it
so intimately) gave me invaluable insight into
the year, the school , the people and myself.
At camp in Minnesota , I thought we would
be straining our pens all year to force the
school to appear new, now and wow · but not
the case. Because of teachers and administra·
tors who clocked in over time and students
who were full of energy, it was a landmark
year. Through hard work, unity and a sense of
Trojan class, the Class of '86 achieved and
made the ordinary extraordinary .
Yet, compiling the year in 290 pages did
not always paint a smile on my face. It was a
hair-raising and sometimes hair-pulling exper·
ience that one could never do solo. Fellow E·
in·C, little Laura Karges organized me and the
book with remarkable ease to calm my rattled
nerves. When the rest of us were suffering
from Classicitis, you never stopped correct·
ing, editing , proofing and reproofing. You are

a little dynamo!
Not only did I work with one little dynamo,
but there were two. Mrs. Jacoby drove the
book and the people behind it with wowing
persistance . Though sometim~s it drove me
bonkers, without you push ing and giving, Big
Time would be a sorry sight. I am confident
that Mr. Regner is correct , you are the hardest
working yearbook adviser in the country .
Hard work seemed to run rampant in the
back office. I never knew a person who is a
leader in every slight of the word and so well
loved by such a vast number of peers as Ann
Colter. As Senior Class President, Business
Manager and friend , you put your hea r t into
everything from Senior Spirit '86 to computer
indexing to sharing late night spaghetti din·
ners. You know that your room in the Owen
home is always open · computer and all.
The Owen home opened its doors to 27
staffers 10 months of the year at all hours of
the night and morning. I will never understand
how my parents adopted 27 kids over night

without ever once uttering a complaint, but
instead , jetted out to White Hen for Oreos,
frozen pizzas and pop . I also owe a big hug
and kiss to my sister Tracy for putting up
with dozens of sleepless nights and a fre·
quently barking sister. Thanks!
Anybody who can listen to my sarcasism
and come out laughing and smiling is a true
friend . Julie, it was the hardest thing I ever did
to give you up as a roomy and admit that you
belong at Northwestern and me at Madison .
But then again , road trips from campus to
campus are our specialty!
Extending myself to the staff as a personal
friend and at the same time as an E·in·C could
have exploded in my face, but thanks to an
understanding staff, we all survived with mi·
nor bruises. Combining such a collage of individuals with a common goal folded pages and
pages of memories and moments into a book
and an experience that could only scream ,
" Big Time! "

Time

No matter if it was passing Comp. for College , wiping feet clean of 109 or recruiting 56
blood donors, Trojan goals spoke for school
spirit in a big way.
When a stolen amplifier threatened to leave
the school beatless , student action clicked in
to recover a new mixer in time for the post
student vs. faculty game dance in April.
" Help Me, Rhonda ," "California Girls " and
others from the Beach Boys' medley again
twisted, surfed and swam into sock-hops.
Those who had flocked to Regency Mall to
claim the biggest, baggiest and boldest of the
Hawaiian-printed shorts flashed the ordinarily
mismatched colors at sock-hops, but the noshor.ts ruling cramped the style from Monday
to Friday 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. In what
turned out to be a futile struggle, Student
Congress members xeroxed 50 "A Short Proposal" petitions. Asking for the cooler privilege, over 800 hot-under-the-seat students
signed the form. In air-conditioned offices, the
administration froze the ruling which continued to stifle over-heated students.
For the first time in two years, seniors
basked during the unofficial, yet poster-publi·
cized senior skip day. As the price of gas
plunged to a mere 89 cents per gallon, Trojans actually cruised 15 miles to bronze their
bodies at Silver Lake on May 30. The next
day, however, too-tanned seniors sat in the

shaded cubicles in ISS, all because Attendance Officer Greg Brand followed in swim
suit and roared in on his cycle at Silver Lake,
unannounced.
Resorting to more traditional and less hazardous fun times, students with spring fever's
hot blood running through veins congregated
at the Keno Drive·ln for Pretty in Pink, ET and
Back to the Future. Others squeezed into
fence-to-fence packed graduation parties.
Again dodging school-night homework
loads, Tremperites caught Kenosha baseball
fever at the Kenosha Twins' games at Simmon 's Field as the ball park featured Student
Congress night, the Trojanettes and Tremper
choir members.
With the seniors loose on June 10, underclassmen still had to put in 16 more hours of
time. Freed from homeroom restrictions,
sophomores new-found freedom ended at the
school's east benches, as a new ruling forbade
the traditional end-of-the-year open lunch.
June's overcast, drizzly days never dowsed
the energy of Trojan zeal but flooded the
school with a blue that heated a desire to do
more: to raise cash for an amp, to roadblock a
dress code, to pull off an unofficial senior skip
day or to break for open lunch. Only that red
and blue force could compel sophomores, juniors and seniors to make the Big Times bigger yet.
