dress, music breeze in
Classic. Forever. Timeless. Words
that evoke images of traditions that
have weathered the test of time. Levi
jean jackets. Bows and pony tails.
Prom and Cadillacs. Through the
years, and on and on, blasts from the
past that, more than ever, define today, define Tremper.
Whether academic or social, classic traditions dominated Trojan lifestyles. Searching for that perfect
dress at Holleb's or Marshall Fields,
complete with hoop skirt, has always
been a tradition for both moms and
daughters. Year after year, Trojan
athletes sport the uniform numbers
of past stars and bench warmers. Always in style, varsity letters stitched
the pass to coolness.
A timeless quality ruled the lives
of Trojans. Fashions reflected l 960's
styles with hoop earrings, bows, Oxfords and loafers. A resurgence of
60's music showed nationally as well

as locally when Beatles' CDs sold
200 copies at Mainstream Records
& Tapes before the Feb. 26 release
date. With "Hard Days Night" at
the top, 200 more CDs moved out
during the release week.
Bouncing off the cafeteria walls
during dances, Banarama 's remake
of Shocking Blue's "Venus" hit the
top 40 20 years later on stations like
W J ZQ and WRKR.
Classic tunes from the 60's, 70's
and 80's became the old, yet new
format of Milwaukee's WKLH,
promising the "thrill of variety, not
the agony of repeat" by cranking out
old Stones and Bowie.
Hitting Sheridan Road McDonald's with a bunch of frienjs on Friday night and flipping burgers on
weekends have been a part of teen
life since the first McDonald's
opened 60 or whatever billion customers ago. Employing four Trem-

perites, the Spot Drive-in also
brought teens back to the 50's with
food served by car-hops.
Academics ruled with Trojan social life. Year after year, Psychology
reviews and Comp. for College papers haunted teens. In spite of the
academic crunch, events like Madrigal Feaste returned revelers to Renaissance, and students sacrific~d
homework to perfect that last chorus.
Like the previous 24 years, Bandarama joined all bands from Wind
Ensemble to Beginner's band to produce the yearly classic "Stars and
Stripes Forever."
A classic, those things, clothes or
events too good to give up. While
time ravages fads like parachute
pants and even teachers' hairlines,
classics endure.

ress for the best reigns
as a Trojan CLASSIC
A classic. Yes, those things too
good to give up, and Trojans were
not to be denied. Accept no substitutes reigned as Trojans pressed for
the best. From intramural's Fitness
Challenge to the math team's Big 9
conference championship, Tremperites swapped spirit and hard work for
Trojan pride.
High fives rejoined 560 seniors
and 634 juniors at registration on
Aug. 8 while 682 confused sophomores enrolled to an unprecedented
70 percent registration attendance.
In early September, final exams
worth 20 percent of the semester
grade imprinted hard times on students' brains. However, by January,
85 percent of the student body
viewed finals as a beneficial test of
academic performance, according to
an administration survey of 1108
students. Switching attention from
finals to Physics problems and to
World Issue topics, Trojans pursued
recognition as departmental Students of the Month.
Going for the golden spirit bell,
students crammed the gymnasium
for the first pep assembly on Sept.
12. Knowing that there was no glory
in second best, battle cries bounced
off the walls for the spirit bell competition. With "winning isn't everything, it's the only thing" in mind,
the out-numbered senior class outshouted the juniors to ring the bell
for the first of three spirit bell victories.
On Nov. 21, the spirit craze set off
a cunning senior theft of the bell and
a white-out as flour spilled over into
the halls. These incidents and red or
blue sprayed hair and painted faces
incited Principal Richard Regner's
Nov. 22 announcement regarding
stricter spirit control.
Athletes, too, caught the craze.
Trojan swimmers shaved T's in their
side burns. Psyched up, the squad
washed out past season losses with a
perfect 10-0 record.

H ith the ringing of the 2:30 bell, Trojans
shed winter wraps for the 70 degree weather

Accept no substitutes

A toleration of nothing but soberness provoked S.A.D.D.'s intrusion
on alcoholic weekends by promoting
"The Pledge" from junior to senior
high. S.A.D.D.'s videotape won the
district's Drug/ Alcohol Awareness
week competition and aired on Cable
20.
The final clash of the classes

bruised the ladies in the Powder Puff
game. Seniors and juniors, later
though, denied feelings of vengance
and revived friendships at the Last
Fling on May 29.
Over and over, Tremperites accepted no substitutes for classic moments, classic friendships and classic
performances.

ongress recruits 1150 donors
"It was really neat to see
people we had recruited actually come to donate."
senior Helen Stankus

"Well, people, remember
the '81 record of 768? Your
total is one pint more than
that . . . 769 pints," explained Congress Adviser
Gary Paulauskas.
Making a comeback after
low attendance on Thursday, March 19, Congress set
a record for pints collected
on the second day of the
drive. Friday, March 20's
total of 419 added to Thursday's 350 brought in the
1987 total, 17 short of the
1986 record.
To begin the recruitment
process, Congress set a goal
and decided upon a theme.
Choosing to promote the
drive with the theme Crazy
Little Thing Called Blood,
Student Congress set their
goal at 835 pints, to achieve
a nine-year total of 6,000.
Five weeks prior to the
drive, the kickoff festivities
took place. At 5:30 a.m. on
Feb. 13, Congress decorated
the school with blood drive
spirit. As students entered
the school building, all 36 of
Congress's members descended to encourage students to sign up as donors.
On Feb. 14, Student Congress held a reunion banquet
for past Congress members
and those involved since
1979, the first year of the
drive.
The evening began with a
social hour, complete with
hors d'oeuvres, in the Commons. On display were the
awards from the Blood Center, won in previous years,

limbo beat, juniors Shawn
Tabor, Angel Margetson
and Gina Boyd bent over
backward in claiming the
top three finishers.
The five weeks that separated kickoff from the actual Blood Drive days flurried
past. In addition to
publicity work, Congress
members recruited a minimum 36 donors each and solicited business donations.
Students who met weekly
goals earned Hardee's VIP
cards. Senior Helen Stankus
set a new Congress recruitment record by single-handedly signing up 154 donors.
Second hour classes competed for a six-foot Hungry
Head sub and soda. Qualifying with 80 percent of its
eligible students donating,
Mr. Damon Weiss's Power
Mechanics feasted after
school on March 30.
The Blood Drive received
media coverage from Channel 4's 6 p.m. news and
WLIP's live updated pint
totals.
Missing the national record by 17 pints, Congress
attributed Thursday's low
pint total to the AIDS story
released March 19 by the
Blood Center. The story
stated that anyone who received a blood transfusion
between 1978 and 1985
should consider having his
blood tested for AIDS. Also
reflecting a cautious national outlook, the Blood Center
deferred 113 people, the largest number ever turned
away at a Tremper Blood
Drive. Finally, 300 people
missed donor appointments.
From the first hours of
planning the drive to the
clean-up efforts on March
20, Congress and Kenosha
strove to aid Southeastern
Wisconsin in the need for
"That Crazy Little Thing
Called Blood."

as well as the original Blood
Drive flag.
At 6:30 p.m. the group
moved into the cafeteria for
a buffet dinner catered by
Falduto's.
"Trying to produce a professional atmosphere, we
spent all day Saturday making hors d'oeuvres and setting the scene for the 1987
drive. Then at the reunion,
we exchanged Blood Drive
stories with the people from
previous years," stated Reunion Kickoff chair Jackie
Pileski.
After. dinner, Congress
President Robin Pious gave
a Blood Drive perspective.
"Giving the speech gave me
better insight into the
groundwork that had been
laid by previous drives," recalled Pious.
Following Pious' speech,
Paulauskas spoke on the
changes in the Blood Drive
project that he had witnessed during his seven
years as Congress Adviser.
Then, Pious presented Mr.
Keith Fossey a plaque for
initiating the 1979 Blood
Drive.
To conclude the evening,
all I 00 guests were invited
to remain for the Kickoff
dance featuring Shout!
During the band's breaks,
a limbo contest and pie-eating contest drew cheers and
laughter. Alumnus Kirk
Blaisdell and senior Brenda
Payne munched their ways
to first place in the pie-eating contest. Jamming to the Reading the Far Side, seniors Amy

Mierta and Cathy Robbins take
their minds off donating.

When the Trojans hit the
field for the second half,
John Gonzales swept
around the end and scampered 57 yards for the sole
Trojan touchdown.
The relentless Case running attack plowed through
the soaked Tremper defence. Throwing one pass
the entire game, Case
scored the winning touchdown with a final running
attack that chewed up an
average of 8 yards per play.
The clock read 1:33 when
the Eagles fullback rambled

· "Losing a Homecoming

it's even rougher for the

Despite the loss, students
accepted no substitute for
Trojan pride. Time drew
near for the denouement of
Homecoming weekend, the

themselves in the latest

Pertarmers relive Olde Englishe tradition

eveling with Renaissance
"I heard so much about
Feaste, but I couldn't believe how intense it was."
senior Shelley Wisniewski

Entering the dining hall
of the Elk's Club, 20th century guests encountered the
16th century atmosphere of
the Olde Englishe Christmasse Feaste. In its 11th
year, the Madrigal Feaste
enhanced the holiday spirit
of those who ventured into
the revelry between December 11-15.
Escorted to their seats by
the playful jesters, guests
absorbed the festive surroundings in the hour before
the Feaste's beginning.
From the beef eaters and
brilliantly colored flags to
the Lorde High Chamberlaine's velvet throne, the
Elk's Club portrayed the
Renaissance era. Aromas
from the kitchen penetrated
the air, adding to the flavor
of the hall.
Ceremoniously opening
the evening's entertainment,
the Royale Fencers stood at
rigid attention for inspection. Jesters then supplied
the audience with a taste of
humor by attempting to
crack smiles from the solemn fencers.
"It's really hard not to
laugh when the jesters are
sticking a jingle bell in your
ear or blowing in your face!"
recalled fencer Heather
Hoffman.
Raising their foils, the
fencers saluted the arrival of
the 25 Madrigal Singers.
Led in by Lorde High
Chamberlaine Terry
Lawler, the procession of
Singers opened with "A
Great and Mighty Wonder.'"
In traditional Englishe

style, the litter bearers held
the steaming wassail bowl as
third-year Singer Tim
Prince served wassail to his
fellow singers. After jesters,
too, toasted the eve, the
Madrigal Singers chorused
the "Gloucestershire Wassail."
With pre-dinner carols
such as "II est bel et bon"
and "When Allen-a-Dale
Went A-Hunting," the
Madrigal Singers entertained the audience.
Surrounding the guests
with entertainment on all
sides, performers shifted the
center of attention often.
With the jugglers tossing
colored balls in the air and
the jesters mimicing guests
and throwing grapes, action
abounded throughout the
hall.
A virginal player, eight
Lordes' Ladyes, nine string
players and 28 recorder
players alternated to entertain musically during dinner
courses.
"I never expected anything like it! All of the different groups performing
got the audience in the
Christmas spirit and
brought overwhelming applause!" recalled Madrigal
Singer Steve Wiersum.
After the serving of cornish hens, "Ye Tumblers"
performed back-handsprings, front-walkovers and
high flips which brought
outcries of "ooh."
Once again the fencers
returned to duel for victory
in the name of the Lordes'
court. In mime, the jesters
jabbed with dinner forks

and jeered at their own bravado amid audience laughter.
"The best part about being a jester was mocking the
fencers and pantomiming
the 'Twelve Days of Christmas!' " stated jester Gina
Zeyen.
Carols from the Madrigal
Singers once more filled the
hall. The Lordes and Ladyes
harmonized "Allon Gay
Bergeres," "Geborn ist
Gottes Sohnelein" and Song
of the Crib."
Then the "Twelve Days of
Christmas" with jesters'
egg-laying pantomimes
again roused laughter from
the audience. "We Wish
You A Merry Christmas"
followed as a sign of flaming
plum pudding's arrival.
In a Christmas finale, the
jesters, along with Mr.
Lawler, performed their
version of the "First Christmas." Immediately following, the Madrigal Singers
reverently sang "O Come, 0
Come, Emman.!Jel" to deepen the audience's silent
mood.
Joining in to sing "Joy to
the World," "O Come All
Ye Faithful" and "Silent
Night," the guests themselves drifted into the feeling of Christmas. The audience rewarded all performers with a standing ovation.
The three-hour evening
finally closed with the Madrigal Singers' recession to
the stairs. Lining the steps
of the staircase, Singers
shook hands, exchanged
greetings and personally
wished their guests farewell .
With another performance
finished, the students transformed for one evening the
Christmas holiday of many
Kenoshans into an Englishe
revel.
With the third Fanfare, the Madrigal Horn Players announce the
passing of the wassail.

Ladies furnish formal evening

aring to entice romance
"I was nervous about asking a guy I didn't know
well, but we both had a
blast!"
senior Robin Pious

Twas the night after break
began,
And all through the air,
Laughing and swirling and
twirling with flair
Frosted the Sub Deb
Winter Formal as only
Tremperites dare.
As the Eagles' Club doors
opened at 8 p.m., girls in
lace and ruffled taffetas and
their formally-attired escorts strolled up the hall's
stairs to the holiday decor.
Touched up with shimmering gold and red streamers,
the girl-ask-guy formal
"Twas the Night" charmed
fantasies for 175 couples.
"This year's Sub Deb
committees for the dance
were very organized. The
decorations were simply
done, but very effective,"
said chaperone Louise Mattioli.
While Windwatcher performed "top 40" tunes such
as Brian Adams' "Heaven"
and Bruce Springsteen's
"Pink Cadillac" for the
dancing crowd, many straggled in later after their long-

Sub Deb

er-than-expected dinners.
Popular dining places
such as the mauve and
brass-finished J. Trumps in
Racine or the elegant Higgin's Hobnob on Kenosha's
lakeshore hosted a formal
dinner before a night of formal dancing. Many also
trekked to Milwaukee restaurants such as Pieces of
Eigl}t and La Tete to savor
the dining experience.
"Going out of town to a
fancy restaurant like Valentines is as much fun as the
dance, even if this time I
have to foot the bill," commented senior Liza Rodriguez.
The wintry hours quickly
melted away as rock slowed
to softer rhythms.
Some tired dancers
kicked back by loosening
their ties and chatting with
friends at the long rows of
tables. Other frolicked
around the ballroom searching for the Christmas trees
that held present-shaped ornaments enscribed with couples' names.

Fruit-flavored punch
and dozens of Christmas
cookies, courtesy of Sub
Deb members, refreshed
dancers.
Showing Christmas
spirit, Windwa tcher
donned Santa hats and
beards and belted out
"Jingle Bell Rock" while
some sang along.
"I walked in around
8:30 expecting to see the
same conservative band
from Homecoming, but
instead there was a bunch
of people twirling around
dancing and singing to
the Santa-dressed band
playing 'Jingle Bell
Rock,' " said junior Michelle Gaal.
As 11 p.m. neared,
streamers sagged, and
trees stood bare as they
lost their ornaments to
couples seeking a momento of the night.
Tremperites drew closer
and floated away for a
second for an embrace
under the mistletoe
which hung above the
benches and entrance.
Others grabbed their
coats and chatted about
something to do afterwards. None wanted to
say too soon "Twas the
night ... "
Relaxing i+ith friends, junior

Hee Hawkin times at hoe down

oppin into Sadie Hawkins
"My straw hat and I just
moseyed on down and had a
rootin' tootin' good time."
junior Brian Smith

Replacing ho-hum with
bee-haw, Trojans trotted
into FBLA's version of a
hicked-up hoe-down. At the
traditional girl-ask-guy toetapper, couples flanneled-up
and denimed-down to show
off their farmyard fashions
at Sadie Hawkins on Friday,
Feb. 22.
Some high-class hicks
spruced up the evening with
dinner at places like Villa de
Carlo or Chi Chi's.
"We decided to do something a little different this
year. Twelve of us went
down to Chuck E. Cheese's
in Waukegan, and we had a
blast just like all the little
kids do," laughed senior
Linda Richer.
Upon arrival at 8 p.m.
each hillbilly received a ballot for Daisy Mae voting.
"This year provided the
fairest way of voting. It restrained us from the temptation of voting twice," admitted senior Arnie Quinn.
Photos in the Commons
had advertised the Daisy
Mae candidates the week

20

before the dance.
After voting, cou pies
swayed to New Voice Radio
tunes such as "Control" by
Janet Jackson, and "Heaven" by Bryan Adams. While
some stuck to the modern
moves, Sadie Hawkins'
knee-slappin' and do-sidoin' tempted others.
"I was all hyped up to
dance to some toe-tappin
tunes, and even though the
music was not country and
western, my date and I cutup-the-rug Kentucky style,"
confessed senior John Ruffolo.
An hour of swingin' that
partner round and round led
to refreshments in the Commons. Tuckered-out Trojans
enjoyed punch and cookies
while they laughingly exchanged down-south slang
with other couples. "Honey
chil"' and "Well, I'll be
hornswagaled" emphasized
the drawl.
Traditional Sadie Hawkins activities also plowed
into the night. Sneaky students put friends, or possi-

bly foes, in jail for l 0 cents.
For double two-bits, couples
tied the knot. Marryin' Sam
hitched couples with a marriage certificate good 'til
midnight and pipe-cleaner
rings. Newlyweds then
flashed smiles for the camera and headed for one-minute in the honeymoon shed.
Finally, the moment came
for the Daisy Mae nominees
Robin Pious, Aimee Martens, Helen Stankus, Mary
Bursae, Demere Kentcy,
Anne Pflieger, Angie
Ludowise, Belinda Perez
and Julie Bonaretti to find
out just which high-falootin
farmerette would reign over
the hoe-down.
Bonaretti and her beau
Jason Mars carried off Daisy Mae and Lil' Abner titles. After receiving her
crown of daisies, Bonaretti
and Mars rolled through the
gym on a bicycle built for
two.
"I had a really good time.
Riding the bike around the
gym was so much fun, and
my friends were really happy for me. It is something
that I will remember when I
look back on my high school
years," said Bonaretti with a
smile on her face.
Eleven o'clock closed a
"gen-u-wine," that is a classic hillbilly hoedown.
Coasting through the erening's
highlights, senior Julie Bonaretti
and sophomore Jason Mars ride off
into the gym with their new titles
Daisy Mae and Lil' Abner.

For a classic but brief moment

amelot shines for amour
"Prom wasn't just balloons
and streamers. The theme
was carried through well."
junior Debbie Lukassen

With warm, sunny weather and tension in the air, 60
tired juniors finished lastminute touches on May 8
Prom decorations. Some
filed out with" other promgoers who scurried as the
2:30 bell rang to snaz up
"For One Brief Shining Moment."
As camera-flashing
ceased, students darted into
limos or dad's best car to
make 6 or 7 p.m. dinner reservations. Popular places
like Kenosha's Hobnob and
The ~nglishe Room at the
Pfister in Milwaukee offered the elegance to match
hoop dresses and tuxedos.
"I was at school until like
4 o'clock setting up for
Prom. By the time I got
home from the beauty shop,
I had about 15 minutes to
get ready before the limo
came. I was afraid we

wouldn't make our reservations at John Byran's in Milwaukee," said junior Lisa
Krebs.
About 8 p.m., 250 couples
dressed in white or black
tuxes and shimmering white.
gowns signed the guest
book. They then strolled
into a mystical garden in the
Commons to greet friends.
After fruit punch and cookies and a wish at the fountain bordered by stone columns, couples wandered
through the castle doors in
the gym to the sounds of the
band Shout. Dresses swayed
and tuxedo ties relaxed as
Tremperites danced to
Shout tunes such as Huey
Lewis' "Hip To Be Square"
and The Kinks' "Hello, I
Love You."
At 10:30 p.m., the dancing guests cleared the way
for the queen and her court

to waltz through the castle
for the coronation ceremony. Before the traditional
dance to recognize the
court, 1986 Prom Queen
Stacy Stanich crowned
Queen Peppur Chambers.
As midnight struck, dates
shuffled in line to promenade down the floral-decorated bridge for anxious viewers in the auditorium.
Kiwanis hosted Kandlelight Kapers from 12 to 4:30
a.m. Hot ham, roast beef,
crisp vegetables and fresh
fruit awaited hungry promenaders in the dining hall
at 12 a.m. and again at 3:30
a.m.
Some dates lingered in
the auditorium to view Back
To The Future. Those still
wide-a wake and energetic
ventured back to Camelot,
greeting the armored guard
as they again passed
through the castle doors to
rock the night away or catch
a kiss during a slow song
while Shout members disc
jockeyed.
With tired athletes, who
had sporting events that
morning, already gone, the
rest of the couples whirled
out into the night and reminisced about that Classic
LIFESTYLE "For One

Last Fling cools off class clash
•
owderpuff pain, but no gain

"Clas s s pirit was what the
game was all about. Being
tied again was a letdown."
senior Kris Koprovic

"Savage Seniors" experienced the agony of repeat
as they tied their second
Powderpuff game when they
battled it out with the juniors' "Red Scare" on May
29 at 6 p.m.
Ignoring the bruises and
scrapes of the hard-fought
~~me, senior and junior girls
JOmed other Trojans for the
Last Fling from 8 to 11 p.m.
. In spite of a 60 strong
sign-up, an average of 15
seniors and about 20 juniors
at each practice hindered
the coaches' efforts to devise solid offensive and defensive squads.
"We had a big drop in the
number of people showing
up for practice from last
year to this year. Instead of
35 people like junior year,
we had about 15 people at
practices, even though more
did show up for the game,"
commented senior coach
Mike Zacker.
Senior coaches Mike
Thome, John Steinbrink,
Scott Trottier and Zacker
devoted one and a half
hours a day for four weeks
from 6:30 to 8 p.m. to ready
the "Savage Seniors" for
battle by reviewing offensive and defensive strategies.
Drilling offensive and defensive plays from 6 to 8
p.m. for three weeks, junior
coaches Dennis Johnson
Clint Englund, Jon Palmen'
Brian Holland and Ji~
Baltes pursued fundamentals in order to tame the seniors.
"After running the track
doing sprints and practicing

the juniors off guard as senior Kathy Dicello slipped
around the left end. With
nothing between her and the
end zone, Dicello glanced
back to find outside linebacker Tammy Wright on
her heels to prevent a senior
score.
Following the two-minute
warning, the "Savage Seniors"' final attempt at scoring bombed as senior quarterback Shelley Gill threw
an incomplete pass to the
awaiting receivers. Bruised
and exhausted, seniors and
juniors congratulated each
other as the game ended in a
0-0 tie.
"We had a lot of different
plays to defeat the juniors,
but I guess they had good
plays, too. It was fun being
on the special team. One of
our secret plays almost
fooled, the juniors, but almost didn't get us a touchdown," said senior linebacker Angie Ludowise.
Overcoming any differences on the field, the Powderpuffers jammed at the
Last Fling dance held in the
courtyard.
Relieving pounding ears
~nd aching feet, Tremper1tes ventured to the auditorium to view the Senior
Slide Show as a recap of the
seniors' final year.
Back on the dance floor
Trojans lived it up to U2';
"With or Without You" and
other top-forty hits as they
flaunted that Classic LIFESTYLE in jams, tees and
sunglasses.
"The Last Fling was a
great way to end the year!
Being with all my friends
and watching the slide show
made me remember the
good and bad times from
senior year," reminisced
senior Barb Etlicher.

play after play, I thought I
was prepared for the game,
but when Kris Koprovic
knocked me down in the
first play, I knew it was going to be rough," remarked
junior defensive tackle Alli
Metten.
Winning the coin toss, the
"Savage Seniors" elected to
kick off to the juniors' "Red
Scare." On the first play following the kickoff, junior
quarterback Sue Palubicki
fired a quick-pitch play to
running back Anne Bierzychudek, but the senior pressure-blow defensive line
surged through the juniors'
offensive line to drop Bierzychudek for a 3-yard loss.
The seniors' pro-38's and
27-pitches executed by senior quarterback Shelley Gill
failed to gain more than 15
yards on a play as the juniors' hawk and 40-red defenses shut down ground
gain. Neither offense moved
the ball inside the 20-yard
line.
Keeping the audience in
laughter with somersaults,
cartwheels and a pyramid,
the guys flaunted lanky legs
in a kickline at half time.
Decked out in red and blue
skirts or shorts, the cheerleading squad of six seniors
and seven juniors rooted for
their classes.
"I had a lot of fun being a
cheerleader! The only weird
thing about it was wearing a
skirt, but that's what made

senior Kris Gotelaere

Strolling through a wall
of tinsel and into a world of
memories, 280 seniors came
together once more for Senior Banquet, their last formal event, on May 15 in the
Elk's Club Ballroom.
Male studs paraded pastel pants and sport coats
while some ladies ..:hose to
take the classic tradition to
the limit. Formal dresses
overtook the dance floor as
the more casual-dressed reflected pri.or years.
"I felt comfortable in
what I was wearing, but I
was surprised at the number
of formal dresses," commented Most Talented winner Shelley Wisniewski.
Most Intelligent winner
Brian Helmke delivered the
invocation before the roast
beef buffet. Following dinner, Senior Class President
Damian Marhefka introduced Craig Sucharda, Vice
President; Helen Stankus,
Secretary; and Margo Vite,
Treasurer. He then presented Dave Neumann and
Shelley Wisniewski to sing a
duet of "Friends."
Recognizing people who
devoted hours to Senior
Banquet, Marhefka acknowledged the committee
chairs before presenting the
senior class gift.
Advisers Connie Llanas
and Candace Stein carefully
opened the shinny gold

crackers yelled "speech,

for Christmas!" Llanas and
Stein finally reached the inside of the boxes and found

wine glasses and engraved
pen and pencil sets.
Senior Activities Director
Gary Paulauskas had not
banked on receiving a gift,
but the class of '87 went into
overtime to come up with a
gift a half-hour earlier.
"We got Mr. Paulauskas
a Nerf basketball for his
'free time' and a new stopwatch ... well, because his
was broken. I guess we really got him a gift because
he's like one of the guys,"
said Most Active winner
Craig Sucharda.
Helen Stankus joined
Marhefka at the mic to
hand out the serious awards.
Each recipient walked away
with an official certificate
and a 4-inch engraved trophy. Jody Hammond and
Denise Parent locked in the
award Mr. & Mrs. Tremper
for four years spent together
as the "ideal" couple.
Amidst cheers and highfives a proud Kirk Gunhus
strutted up with his matching silk tie and handkerchief
to accept his Best Dressed
title. Robb Cibrario and
Trish Jimenez each captured Most Desirable Date.
"Did you hear the latest?
I think that it's so cute that
Robb and Trish are going
out together and were voted
Most Desirable separately'. I
guess they're made for each
other!" added Mrs. Gossip
Nancy Pagliaroni.
Following the "boo's"
and "no fairs" about the "no
smoking" announcement,
Amy Riese and Mark Hervat presented the mock
a wards. Tim Prince and

Lisa Carlsen "kissed-up" to
enough teachers to merit

awards for those little errands to the office or jumping at the opportunity to
pass out papers without being asked.
Grabbing the mic, Dan
Gurgol announced "party at
my house!" He then waved
his liter bottle of Welch's
Sparkling Apple Cider and
Biggest Party Animal certificate to keep the crowd
roaring. Stirring laughter,
emcee Hervat quipped comments about "helping" Staci
Deming to the stage as she
received her Biggest Party
Animal title.
To continue the tradition
of dancing and singing down
the hall or just being downright weird, Mark Hervat
and Margo Vite pulled in
both Funniest and Class
Clown honors.
To top off the mocks,
chants of "Doug, Doug,
Doug . . . " filled the hall as
Doug Hoffmann accepted
the Real Man title.
"When I heard people
yelling the name Doug, I
thought it was either me or
Doug Smestad. But when I
found out it was Real Man,
I knew the sucker had to be
mine!" explained senior
Doug Hoffmann with a grin.

Hammin' it up on May JS at the
Senior Banquet, senior Mark Hervat tries on his "Grouchos" for a

Named Most Desirable Date,
Robb Cibrario anticipates his

senior Margo Vite

"Life's Been Good To
Me" by Joe Walsh blasted
seniors with a recap of '8687 and clicked in the Seniors Slide Show as 560 eyes
were glued to the screen.
Tim Buck 3 's "Gotta Wear
Shades" belted out of the 3projector, 2-amp sound system while snap shots of
spec-sporting Trojans faded
from frame to frame of
three projectors.
The "blood-giver shivers"
rippled through the crowd
as scenes of laid-back donors jammed with Queen's
"Crazy Little Thing Called
Blood."
Laughter drown out the
words of "Cover of the Rolling Stone" by Dr. Hook and
the Medicine Show as slides
of Power Mech students
flashed across the screen.
Masses of football players
huddled Trojan spirit together while Kenny Loggins
"Danger Zone" backed up
the fact that Trojans really
were "top gun."
Peter Gabriel's "Big

events like the Homecoming
parade, senior-dominated
spirit bell competition or the
formal dances.
During Senior Banquet at the
Elk's Club on May 15, seniors Michelle Zatko and Scott Trottier
take a step outside to chat for a
while.
Jammin' on his air guitar during
the dance at Senior Banquet, senior John Ruffolo joins in with
Shout to play "Purple Haze."

Senior Banquet

To arouse yells and yahhoo's from the crowd, Sadie
Hawkins slides of farm boys
playing the spit-jug or the
country gals spinning
around with their pigtails in
the air accompanied "Mamma Don't Let Your Babies
Grow Up To Be Cowboys"
by Willie Nelson.
The slide show lasted 38
minutes and pumped out
363 slides to keep the audience enticed during the
longest slide show ever. For
$7 and a blank VHS tape,
seniors snatched up a home
copy of the slide show, a
first for any class.
"The laughs during the
slide show really brought us
all together as a class. Pictures helped us to remember
the events, but I'll remember the good times," said
senior Kris Hansen.
While Shout set up for
the dance, seniors clustered
for a 15-minute picture or
bathroom break.
As the dance got rolling,
British accents emerged
from the mouths of seniors
when they belted out
Shout's version of "Back in
the U.S.S.R." Pumped up
seniors lip-synced, air gui-

tared and finger-drummed
with the band. Some even
got freaked out to the contortions of Jimmi Hendrix's
"Purple Haze."
The mood changed to
summer and sunshine when
"Louie, Louie" and "Surf
City" blared from Shout's
five-man band.
About an hour into the
dance, seniors cut loose to
"Footloose" when the guys
wore their ties as headbands
and the girls kicked off their
shoes. To reinforce the

fun, "I Wanna Go Back"
filled the ears of every senior there.
Biggest Flirt Tim Prince
flaunted his stuff on the
stage and took the spotlight
to sing Shout's version of
"Pinball Wizard." This
sparked the arrival of the
chaperones on the dance
floor during the three-hour
jam session.
However, the session was
jammin' only to those who
stayed. Approximately 50
left even before the slide
show.
"It's not like our class
doesn't do anything; it's just
that it takes a little longer,
that's all. Like in yearbook,
we just don't seem to stay
together until it's almost too
late. My friends and I just
left because it seemed to me
there wasn't much goin'
on," added senior Jeff
Somers.
Unlike years in the past, a
half-hour before the dance
was supposed to end, about
15 die-hearted dancers remained.

After the Slide Shott, seniors Scott
Durkee and Kristin Fox reminisce
about good times they shared together over the past year.

Shading the future ttith classic
cool, seniors Dave Smestad and Aimee Martens hit the dance floor for
"I Gotta Wear Shades."

Viewing their past three years of
high school, in the slide show seniors kick back and enjoy one of
their last nights together.

Final exam pressure evaporates

raduation turns 427 tassels
"Our class went from 501
before finals to 427. Finals
made a difference, I guess."
senior Darin Schnabel

As the 427 graduates
marched in the Kenosha
Unified Field House at
Bradford to the Processional "Graduation March from
Aida," family members and
friends snapped photos with
anticipation.
Beginning the ceremony,
senior class member Gary
Nephew led The Pledge of
Allegiance. Next, A Cappella members Julie Peltier,
Dave Neumann, Sue Houlette, Jim Eckert, Jackie Pileski, Tim Prince and Sharon Pietkiewicz sang "The
Star Spangled Banner."
Senior Class Secretary
Helen Stankus expressed
appreciation for the support
from parents in her invocation . Principal Richard
Regner's welcome followed
her speech.
Reflecting on the memories in a detailed perspective, Student Congress
President Robin Pious highlighted spirit bell victories

students of the times they
shared together.
"It was a real tear-jerker
to hear how much we had
been through together. I
guess I didn't realize how
close we have become," remarked senior Amy Riese.
Brian Helmke delivered
the first commencement
message by comparing
graduation to a pole vaulter
catapulting into the air.
Helmke explained how the
graduate is being catapulted
into the real world. In conclusion, Helmke comically
added a quote from Bob
Hope, " It's a cruel, harsh
world out there, don't go."
After the first commencement message, the Symphony Orchestra played the
"Benny Goodman Medley'"
under the direction of Mr.
Stanley Nosal.
Following the medley,
Senior Class President Damian Marhefka delivered
the second commencement
message. Marhefka stated

that the past is the only sure
thing of the future. Marhefka reminded seniors that
graduation is not an ending
but only a beginning.Concluding his speech, Marhefka used the popular exit
line among students, "We're
outa here."
The long-awaited moment finally arrived. Mr.
Regner formally presented
the class of 1987. Assisted
by Senior Vice President
Craig Sucharda and member Stacey Stanich, Superintendent of Schools Dr.
John Hosmanek and School
Board Vice -President Dr.
Robert Wilson awarded the
diplomas.
With the anticipation of
the tassel ceremony, a murmur swept through the
graduates as well as the audience. Jackie Pileski and
Brian Helmke led the traditional ceremony.
Concluding the evening
with the Benediction, Amy
Mierta asked for guidance
for the Class of '87 in the
future. With the traditional
" Pomp and Circumstance,"
the graduates marched into
the real world with classic
memories and hopes for the
future.
After recefring diplomas from Dr.
Wilson, the 427 graduates stand up
together, awaiting Amy Mierta's
Benediction speech .

As Robin Pious delirers her perspectire speech, seniors Caroline
Frye, Richard Frederking and Dan
Frank remember the good times.

Delhering his commencement
message, Damian Marhefka encourages fellow graduates to use
their past as a guide for the future.

With relief and excitement, graduates Julie Beardsley, Courtney

'As a part of

given the chance to

school and to work
with others.'
senior Brenda Payne

Titles, records and goals
dominated groups as Black
Watch, Forensics, Student
Congress and DECA accepted no substitute for excellence or fun together.
Jamming to fusion music,
Black Watch clenched the
first place Governor's Trophy that sweetened revenge
in Traverse City, Michigan,
at the National Cherry Festival.
As December breezed in
off Lake Michigan, Key
Club rolled out the barrels
for the annual drive. Key
Club members distributed
150 baskets to Kenosha's
needy families. From class
barrels, senior Brady
McCarron presented $1,000
to a representative of the
Ronald McDonald House at
the 2A/2B Christmas Assembly.
Refuting the ivy-leagueonly image, the Debate
team qualified two varsity
debators for the State Tournament and 12 junior varsity and novice debators for
the Tournament of Champions competition with four
tournament championships.
Student Congress
launched recruitment of

"That Crazy Little Thing
Called Blood" on Feb. 14. A
grand total of 769 pints of
blood pumped out to give
Congress its second highest
national total in extending
an 80's tradition.
Also moving up with classic style, the Forensics team
performed their way to five
gold medals and six bronze
medals at the State Competition at University Wisconsin Madison.
Crescendoing during
spring break with a visit to
the "Big Apple," A Cappella joined 12 other choirs
in a Lincoln Center performance.
Golden Strings took off
for a National Federation of
Music Clubs performance in
Miami and then another at
Epcot Center.
Qualifying ten people,
DECA jazzed up their presentations to merit a trip to
New Orleans for their national competition.
Getting one up on last
year set a classic tone that
was not new, but the
achievements all were new,
bigger, better because A
Classic Accepts No Substitutes.

Marking time from Oregon, Wisconsin, to Cheyenne, Wyoming,
competitions crescendo at Festival in Traverse City, where

lack Watch burns summer rivals
ooming over the
loudspeaker at National Cherry Festival in Traverse City,
Michigan, the announcer's voice states, "In
second place with a score of 79.16 points is
. .. The Warren Junior Military Band!" Simultaneously, shouts of joy rang from the
Band of The Black Watch with the realization that the Watch had "wailed" on Warren,
scoring 81.13 points on July 10, 1986.
"Since Warren, our rival band, had been
scoring two to nine points higher than us all
year, it was great to finally come out on top!"
grinned Director Paul Taylor.
The summer season had not begun that
way, though. Tempers flared at band camp
held at St. John's Military Academy in Delafield, Wisconsin, and practices pushed on
throughout the week of June 14 to 21. Instructors engraved field drill and music into
each member's head as the scorching sun
beat down.
"Out of 130 people in band, over half were

sophomores, so they didn't have any idea of
what to do on the field . Sometimes I got so
frustrated when people messed up that I felt
like ripping their hair out," laughed flutist
Georgette Sampson.
Blistering temperatures of upper 80's and
90's during camp caused 12 members to suffer from heat stroke and sun poisoning.
"I can still feel the pain of blisters and
burns on my face, an experience I never want
to deal with again!" recalled drummer Bret
Shirven with a grimace on his face.
Despite these setbacks, the Watch choreographed and completed their drill. Jeff Cesario arranged the music while Randy Skowronski put together intricate marching and
maneuvers. The Watch jammed to "fusion
music" entitled "Homecoming," "Stolen
Moments" and "Silverlake." Trumpet solos,
incorporated in "Silverlake" and "Homecoming" and executed by trumpeter Paul
Ruffalo, quieted audiences.
"I felt as if my solos were going to waste

when we kept losing to Warren. That's why I
was on top of the world when we blew them
away in Traverse City," said Ruffalo with a
gleam in his eye.
The Watch's intricate show carried them
to Sun Prairie, Waunakee, Northbrook, Oregon and Dundee. Drum major Corey N iles
caught the judges' eyes in Dundee where he
walked out with the Best Drum Major trophy.
The band took their last competitive trip to
Cheyenne, Wyoming. In the Frontier Days
Celebration, Niles and Colorguard Sergeant
Jill Zapp, a Bradford senior, snatched a final
chance to flash the band's style. The band
dominated, taking two firsts in parade from
July 21 to 27.
Flutist Rita Ventura concluded, "At the
beginning of the competing season, I had my
doubts about the band. Needless to say, the
trip to Cheyenne left me with really great
memories of all the hard work and fun we put
into the summer."

As flugal hornist Meera Datta wraps up "Homecoming," Black Watch sweeps first at the July 10 National
Cherry Festival in Traverse City, Michigan.
To entertain the Bradford Homecoming crowd, saxophonists Dennis Sorenson, Lisa Dietert, and Jeff Wirch
focu s on a B Oat as surrounding woodwinds harmonize
an F chord in "Silverlake."

At a right slam, colorguard member Julie Trusky maintains Black Watch pride during the Sept. 27 rehearsal

While soloing at the Oct. 17 Tremper-Bradford game,
trumpeter Paul Ruffalo sustains a note during Black
Watch's rendition of "Stolen Moments."

"The drum major has the
respect of the whole group,
and from there he can lead
them to reach a common
goal," explained Drum Major Corey Niles.
Having admired Black
Watch since junior high
school, Niles joined as a
sophomore saxophonist.
Once a part of the band,
Niles set a higher goal for
himself. "About half way
through my sophomore
year, I decided the next step
up from marching a drill
was to become a drum major as a senior. Plus, I
thought I could be good at
it," laughed Niles.
From following instructions to giving them, Niles
crossed friendship boundaries to be a leader. Quieting the band was the most
frequent discipline.
"Even if it meant losing a
friend for a couple of hours,
days or the entire summer, I
had to treat everyone the
same," he added.
Niles was awarded Best
Drum Major at the June 29
competition in Dundee, Illinois, despite his slight limp
from a broken foot. "When
the band cheered so Jong
and so loud for me, it made
me feel great that not only
the judges but also the band
thought I deserved it," recalled Niles.
"There is nothing you can
compare to the excitement
of taking first place in a
competition, especially one
like Traverse City!" concluded Niles.

29 in Dundee, Illinois.

While steamy June temperatures drip in cool bucks at Key Club's ice
cream sale, Sub Deb fund raisers crystalize into '"Twas the Night" as

pirited members spark goals
ervice to the community motivated
both Sub Deb and Key Club. Even though
every activity did not center around helping
others, both groups aided the less fortunate.
Meeting every Monday after school in
room 235, Sub Deb planned participation in
the Homecoming parade. The first line of
duty brought 12 of the 28 members to Treasurer Brenda Payne's home for banner building each Tuesday and Thursday throughout
September to "Scalp the Eagles."
On Oct. 4, 20 of the girls, clad in brightly
colored make-up, gaudy bow-ties and outrageous costumes, led the Homecoming parade
and Sub Deb's banner down 22nd Avenue at
1: 10 p.m. to Anderson Field. Filling the sky
with red and blue Trojan pride, Sub Deb
clowns released 300 helium balloons prior to
the game's kick-off.
The girls held their annual progressive dinner on Nov. 16. Payne served appetizers at
her home followed by the main meal at sophomore Guin Mentink's house. Winding up
the evening at President Lisa Gorecki's for
dessert and the induction ceremony, 20 new
members were formally initiated into the club
with a candle ceremony.
"I really enjoyed the initiation ceremony.
The candles and dim lights really made the
event special," stated inductee Becky Werve.
At Thanksgiving the group collected food
for a needy family. Each girl donated canned
foods while the club provided a turkey and 10
pounds of potatoes. Later, four members delivered the food basket.
Sub Deb members along with other Tremperites jammed to New Voice Radio and
bopped $360 into their account from their
sock-hop on Nov. 21. Peddling Bike's candy
bars during Nov. 3-8 and March 2-11, Sub
Deb members sweetened the treasury with
$460. Bake sales put the icing on the cake by
collecting an additional $102 and strengthened the Sub Deb account to $1,080 before
the winter formal.
On Dec. 20 at 8 a.m., the members began

decorating the Eagle's Club ballroom for
'"Twas the Night." The girls hung silver and
red metallic streamers, constructed artificial
Christmas trees and added the final touches
until 3 p.m. Co-chairpersons for the formal
were Programs/Tickets, Deanna Cummings
and Monique Ritacca; Publicity, Jean Ramaska and Veronica Anderson; Decorations,
Debbie Lukassen and Kim Orea; Refreshments, Denise Carney and Jaymie Ventura.
"After being in Sub Deb for three years,
the other officers and myself put everything
into this formal, and it turned out great!
About 350 people attended, and we made
approximately $400. This is one of the greatest profits ever made at the formal," stated
Treasurer Payne.
Following the success of the formal, advisers Nancy Walkowski and Louise Mattioli
treated the girls to a pizza party on Jan. 19 at
Villa D'Carlo's.
Promoting Valentine spirit and earning
money, too, Sub Deb sold red, white or pink
carnations Feb. 13 for $1 a piece. The treasury blossomed once again after adding another $150 in profits. Two days later the girls
celebrated Valentine's Day at Payne's house
by munching on heart-shaped cookies, cupcakes and dancing to the latest tunes.
As the end of May drew near, the club's
activities drew to an end, and the girls gathered on May 31 at the Spaghetti Station for
the senior graduation banquet. At the honorary dinner, senior officers were presented
with gag and serious gifts to thank them for
all their efforts.
Unlike Sub Deb, Key Club's projects not
only spanned the school year, but also occupied time in early summer. June 21 to 28
found Key Club members selling cotton candy and ice cream at Cohorama. Profits totaled a cool $3,000 and padded the treasury
for the school year.
Continuing their drive for funds, Key Club
sponsored a car wash on Sept. 13, soaking up
an additional $400.
Taking time out to put the money to use,

Key Club donated $200 to SADD in order to
get their feet off the ground. They also contributed $100 to help Student Congress purchase 30 new classroom flags.
The Burger King ticket sale, which began
in April 1980, came to a close in October.
Key Club used the profits to purchase a
$3,000 electric billboard for the cafeteria.
On Oct. 26, Key Clubbers plowed their
way through Steinbrink's farm during a hay
ride followed by a bonfire. Another October
activity included Trick-or-Treating for UNICEF on Oct. 31.
Living up to their reputation · as a service
organization, Key Club promoted its annual
food and barrel drive with the theme, "Just to
see them smile," Dec. 8-19. Donations from
the two week barrel drive resulted in a $1,000
contribution to the Ronald McDonald
House. Meanwhile, second hour classes collected necessary items for the food baskets.
Tremper totaled 126 baskets, and Mrs. Mary
Gamache's French IV class won the food
drive competition with 11 baskets.
Continuing their quest to help others, 15
members participated in a famine on Jan. 23.
The 24-hour fast, held at St. Mary's Lutheran Church, benefited Comic Relief, a
group of comedians who raised money for
needy individuals. Hungry Key Clubbers
played games and tuned into WRKR to pass
time as the evening wore on.
This time, instead of starving themselves to
help others, Key Club members rolled up
their sleeves on April 18 to travel to Potawatamie Hills to help Kiwanis and the Girl
Scouts clean and set up camp.
"I really enjoyed being a part of Key Club
this year. Even though it is a service club, I
had a lot of fun, plus the personal satisfaction
of helping others is really worth the effort,"
concluded Secretary-Treasurer Angel Margetson.
Although not all projects benefited these
individual groups, Sub Deb and Key Club
thrived on helping others.

Key Club/Sub Deb

Formal hit
"I ran for president of
Sub Deb because I enjoy the
challenges and responsibilities that go with the position. I also like what the
club stands for, and I wanted to be a leader in promoting the spirit and tradition
of Sub Deb," stated President Lisa Gorecki.
As president, Gorecki was
obligated to head general
meetings once a week or as
needed. Organizing banner
building along with parade
clowns and the release of helium balloons for Homecoming, Gorecki's responsibilities continued to mount.
Gorecki collected canned
goods from club members
filling a food basket for a
needy family on Thanksgiving day.
Besides these activities,
Gorecki also chaired the annual winter formal.
"The day of the formal
was the most memorable
moment for me as president.
With months of committee
organization, preparing
decorations and worrying
that things would never get
done, I was extremely happy
with the smoothness and organization during the preparation that day," explained
Gorecki.
Gorecki stated that her
leadership role will help her
gain confidence for college
and later in life.
"Sub Deb has taught me
to successfully lead a group
and work well with its members in order to accomplish
a major project," concluded
Gorecki.

From comical jester smiles to solem fencer faces, Madrigal Feaste
performers portray medieval pastimes and entertain audiences with

'ovial antics and heroic chivalry
ester faces smeared
with white makeup,
foils clashing in conflict and the aroma of hot
wassail conveyed Ye Olde English Feaste audiences back to a Renaissance atmosphere.
Student performers of all kinds transformed
into medieval characters through weeks of
practice leading up to the December 11-15
show dates.
Spur-of-the-moment pranks played by jesters were actually the result of numerous practices under the guidance of Mr. Terry
Lawler. Shining a bald man's head or begging
the audience for food entitled jesters to the
closest contact with guests. Their friendly antics set the scene for relaxation.
"When little kids first come to the Feaste,
they are afraid of the jesters with all their
makeup and funny costumes. By the end of
the night, it's great because they have become your best friend. I love to see them
having a good time," smiled senior jester
Margo Vite.
As jesters amused and won the hearts of
audiences, tumblers elevated their spirits
with high-flying aerials and breath-taking
back flips. Weekend practices beginning in
mid-November polished synchronization and
skills. Choreographic help came from Mr.

John Chase and Mrs. Mary Taske. Though
tumbling passes were well-planned, uncontrollable circumstances fouled up pre-practiced routines.
"This year's Feaste was a lot more challenging than last year. One night we were
down to four tumblers out of eight because of
illness and injuries. We had to change the
routine almost every night and pray that we
remembered the changes!" recalled junior
Tami Boyd.
Guarding the ballroom doors, beefeaters
kept a close watch to assure that people did
not enter during tumbling passes and other
acts.
"Sometimes it got frustrating because people could never figure out why they couldn't
come back in. They kept pounding at the
door until they finally realized that there was
an act going on. But, I also enjoyed it because
I got a chance to watch the whole performance," recalled junior beefeater Jeff Lovell.
The beefeaters let down their guards as the
Madrigal Singers entered to the salute of
fencing foils. In addition to saluting the Singers, the fencers jousted before the crowd.
"One thing that I learned about fencing
was to always wear a glove. I cut my hand
twice in practice, and that sure taught me a

lesson. We couldn't have learned everything
without the help of former three-year Feaste
fencer Ken McCarron. He came to our practices, starting in November, every day after
school," recalled senior fencer Matt Goldberg.
With fencers terminating their duels, jugglers launched balls and beanbags into the
air. Strolling down the aisles of guests, jugglers demonstrated three, four and even five
objects at once.
As jesting, jousting and juggling satisfied
guests with entertainment, the pages and
wenches sated appetites. A mouth-watering
nine course banquet nourished guests medieval style. Pages and wenches served smoked
salmon, cornish game hen and roasted pork in
addition to other delectables.
"Serving food to people was neat because
they were appreciative that students did the
job instead of waitresses. One night a man
spoke in Olde English dialect to me, and another night a table left a tip for my page and
me. People really enjoy Feaste because it
brings over 200 students together in one performance," concluded junior wench Val
Dewitt, who served all four nights.

Jest for fun
"In ninth grade I went to
Feaste to see my sister perform, and the jesters were
the first thing that caught
my eye. That's when I decided that jesting was the
thing for me," remembered
senior jester Michelle
Zatko.
Zatko, one of the two
three-year Feaste jesters,
obtained her theatrical experience in drama at Lincoln Junior High. It was
there that she learned to
work with an audience.
"The best part of Feaste is
making the audience laugh
and seeing them have a good
time. If the audience is happy, I feel great."
Zatko added that performing for five nights in a
row became tiring. However, she maintained that the
good times and laughter
helped her forget how exhausted she felt.
"The funniest thing I remember about the Feaste
was trying to make the
fencers laugh. Margo Vite
and I were blowing at a
fencers hair to mess it up.
The next performance, he
came with hairspray on.
When we blew at him, one
big section of his hair was
stuck together, flopping
back and forth," laughed
Zatko.
Urging others to savor
the flavor of the Feaste,
Zatko concluded, "It's so
much fun, and it helps get
people into the Christmas
spirit. I know it's a part of
my high school years that I
will never forget!"

From after school rehearsals warming up voices, instruments to
weekend retreats accenting characterization, music, friendships,

rtists tune to Renaissance style
s the excitement of
Ye Olde Englishe
Christmasse Feaste spread quickly among the
performers, the reality of a busy schedule
snagged the pure pleasure for some of its
participants. However, singers, strings, recorders natl brass musicians all keyed up for
the big event on Dec. 11 - 15.
The 25 Madrigal Singers, selected by Director Kurt Chalgren, displayed three qualifications, the ability to sight read, tone quality
and pitch accuracy. Concentrating on these
skills at each rehearsal, the Singers' rigorous
practice schedule began in mid-September
and continued every Tuesday and Thursday
night from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Besides evening rehearsals, the Singers
polished each of 19 pieces on a three-day
retreat to the Zion Beach Resort in Zion,
Illinois. The Singers escaped from Wisconsin
Friday, Nov. 21, at 3:30 p.m. and returned on
Sunday, Nov. 23 at 1 p.m.
"Although the hours of rehearsal seemed
endless, I'm glad we went on the retreat. It
helped us not only clean up our music before
Feaste, but it also helped the group come
together as a family," stated Madrigal Singer
Amy Ihlenfeld.
The Singers' preparation finally culminated at the Feaste. Harmonizing the traditional
"A Great and Mighty Wonder" and crescendoing into such madrigal pieces as "April is
in My Mistress' Face" and "All Creatures
Now are Merry Minded," the Singers melodically filled each corner of the Elk's Club
ballroom.
"I selected the four madrigal pieces mainly
because of their musical merit and audience

appeal. I also took into consideration how the
pieces musically and vocally suited the
group," stated Chalgren.
Later, the Madrigal Singers, along with
the audience, sang two familiar Christmas
tunes, "Joy to the World" and "O Come All
Ye Faithful." Finally, the Singers closed on a
peaceful note with "Silent Night."
The Lordes' Laydes, in its third Feaste
year, also rehearsed under the direction of
Mr. Kurt Chalgren. Each Monday from 2:45
p.m. to 5 p.m., the eight female singers practiced five pieces of music.
"Even though we sang fewer pieces than
the group did last year, we really worked
hard. In fact, there was almost no group this
year because of a lack of interest," stated
Lorde's Layde Tara Raymond.
The Lorde's Laydes caroled while the jesters seated guests. Adding to the atmosphere,
the female voices echoed their Christmas ballads through the hall and supplied background music. Occasionally strolling about,
the Laydes performed such pieces as "Furn,
Furn, Furn," "Now is the Month of Maying"
and "Lo How A Rose Er Blooming." Continuing to work for excellence, the Lorde's
Laydes strived to establish themselves as a
firm tradition in the Feaste.
In the virginal's second appearance at the
Feaste, sophomore Joy Grapentine played
this 16th century keyboard instrument. Her
dinner music continued throughout the night
when the stage was not occupied.
"Mr. Chalgren contacted me last may and
asked me if I would like to play the virginal at
the Feaste. I accepted, and I've really enjoyed my experience at Feaste," explained

Grapentine.
Sharing the same spotlight, the seven-piece
string ensemble, advised by Mr. Stanley Nosal, performed on the same stage as the virginal player. The strings bowed and plucked
their way through "La Cinquinta" and
"Elizabethan Dances." The group began rehearsing in mid-November on various days of
the week and practiced approximately oneand-a-half hours at each session.
Although the recorders entertained most
of the evening from the southwest corner of
the ballroom, they commanded full attention
when entering the hall playing the traditional
"Pa vane." The recorder players soloed on the
main stage with "Ballo francese ." The consort, instructed by Miss Beth Wilcox, opened
rehearsals in October on Thursday evenings
from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The brass, another complementary group,
blared nine fanfares throughout the evening.
Announcing the processional and recessional,
the brass also proclaimed the arrival of each
course of the meal. Starting rehearsals in
mid-November under Mr. Dale Rovik, the
brass musicians practiced on Thursday afternoons from 2:45 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Although closing night ended the season
for most groups, the Madrigal Singers performed Dec. 18 at the Kiwanis Luncheon and
ended the year on Dec. 19 at the Christmas
assembly.
Lorde's Layde Ann Miller concluded,
"The Feaste is a special time for me because
it puts me in the Christmas spirit. The Feaste
has opportunities for everyone, and the hard
work really pays off when we receive the audience's applause and gratitude."

Magic charm
"Nothing really prepared
me for my first Feaste performance. It's impossible to
accurately describe it.
Feaste is just something you
have to experience!" proclaimed Madrigal Singer
Elli Hackemer.
Hackemer, a two-year
member of the Madrigal
Singers, started singing at
age three with the encouragement of her brother and
sister.
"All along they've pushed
me. I tried out for Madrigals because they both were
in it. They've always set the
standards for me," she said.
Soloing during the Singers performance of the
"Twelve Days of Christmas," Hackemer's talents
and experiences in Feaste
established her as a leader
in the group.
Besides the Madrigal
Singers, Hackemer's other
activities have helped her
achieve success as a musician. Student Congress,
Student Advisory Board,
Honor Society, Black
Watch and The Boyfriend,
filled her extra-curricular
hours.
"Each group teaches discipline, hard work and cooperation, but each in a different way. Black Watch especially prepared me for the
individual work and memorization of Madrigals,"
commented Hackemer.
Although all of her activities shared similarities,
Hackemer concluded,
"Madrigals is a truly unique
group. I can't wait till next
year!"

At the M.E.N.C., the Golden Strings also
received a special invitation to perform at
Disneyland in Anaheim, California during
the next year.
"Of all the stops we're making, I'm eagerly

looking forward to Hawaii. I'm sure the magnitude of the trip will not hit me until I am
sitting on the plane," said junior Chris Casperson.
From April 28-May 3, the group jetted to
Miami, Florida, for the 44th Biennial Convention. They gave four key performances,
two at the National Federation of Music
Clubs, at Epcot Center in Disney World, and
in Lakeland, Florida, for a school program

"The most memorable performance in
Florida was the second one we made at the
National Federation of Music Clubs because
the entire audience sang along. It is going to
hold a lasting impression in my mind forever," said sophomore Jamie Brooks.
The Golden Strings also appeared in performances at The Royal Order of Jesters at
the Wisconsin Club in Milwaukee on October

"I enjoyed the trips with
the Golden Strings because
the group was like a tight·
knit family. Everybody
managed to get along and
get their jobs done. We had
to work hard, but when we
finished what had to be
done, Mr. Nosal would give
us a lot of free time. He
played a key role as a tour
guide," said senior Keith
Coleman.
Coleman has studied the
string bass for six years. He
received the Kiwanis Music
Award his senior year and
Student of the Month during December for the music
department.
Coleman played bass for
the Chamber Orchestra,
Wind Ensemble and Sym·
phony Orchestra and electric base for the Blue Jazz
Band. He was also a member of the pit crew for the
musical The Boyfriend.
Music extended into Coleman's free time as he
played electric bass guitar in
the rock band Saykafida.
The band entertained for
private parties.
In private lessons, he
studied with Mr. Bob Smith
for three years and Mr.
Steve Lester, a member of
the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, for a year.
Pursuing a career in music performance, Coleman
accepted a four-year scholarship at the University of
Miami, Florida.
"After college I plan to
perform in a professional

Harmonizing in the annual Orchestra Festival on March 21, soloing in WSMA
District Solo & Ensemble Contest, Symphony, Chamber Orchestra members

ow to Bach, Beethoven, Brahms
asking in the spotlight of four performances, Symphony and Chamber Orchestras
stressed musical success.
Tuning to Tuesday evenings, 6:30 to 9:30
p.m., 29 Chamber Orchestra volunteers began rehearsals in November for the choral
Christmas Concert on Dec. 4. Featured after
intermission, Chamber bowed "Overture in D
Major" and later joined the Concert, Treble
Clef and A Cappella choirs in "Joy to the
World," "O Come All Ye Faithful" and "Silent Night."
Concentrating on the Jan. 15 Mid-Winter
Concert, Symphony Orchestra members rehearsed during third hour, and Chamber continued on Tuesday evenings.
Symphony opened the 8 p.m. concert with
"March and Procession of Bachus" by Leo
Delibes. During the middle of the concert,
Chamber soloed with two pieces.
Symphony ended the concert with a tribute
to jazz man Benny Goodman. The "Benny
Goodman Medley," written exclusively for
Symphony by James "Red" McLeod, featured 11 famous Goodman tunes, including
"Let's Dance" and "Goody Goody."
After the Mid-Winter Concert, orchestra
members focused on Orchestra Festival held
at the Kenosha Unified Fieldhouse on March

21. The combined seven junior and senior
high school orchestras opened the program
with "Turkish March" under the direction of
Professor Brian Moore, guest conductor from
the University of Nebraska.
Symphony featured the "Benny Goodman
Medley" as their solo piece for the Bradford,
Bullen, McKinley, Lance, Lincoln, Washington, Cadet String and Beginning String orchestras.
The Festival closed with the nine orchestras performing "The Greatest Love of All."
"I thought Orchestra Fest was pretty good
over all even though a few spots were shaky.
The guest conductor helped us with the difficult rhythms and dynamics," commented violinist Gail Chovan.
Pausing from combined performances, five
orchestra members received superior star
(I*) ratings at the Wisconsin State Music
Associations District Solo & Ensemble Contest on April 2 at Bradford High School.
Participants included Maria Cascio, violin
solo; Chris Casperson, violin solo; Theresa
Wilkerson, viola solo; Brian Helmke, cello
solo, piano solo and duet; and Shelly Wisniewski, piano duet.
Both Chamber and Symphony Orchestras
showcased the years efforts on June 2 at the

ture" opened the evening's program at the 8
p.m. concert.
Chamber took the stage next and presented
four pieces. The second piece, "Sonata in G
Minor," featured senior Keith Coleman on
double bass. Senior Brian Helmke soloed in
"Concerto in C Major for Cello and Orchestra" during the third number. Chamber ended their portion of the concert with Bach's
"Concerto No. 3."
Completing the program, Symphony orchestrated three more pieces. "Quiet City,"
by Aaron Copland, spotlighted senior soloists
Shelly Wisniewski, oboe, and Paul Ruffolo,
trumpet.
After "Quiet City" Mr. Dan Jambreck,
president of the Western Kenosha Kiwanis
Club, presented senior Alan Baumgarten
with the National School Orchestra Award.
Seniors Alan Baumgarten and Keith Coleman received recognition as Kiwanis Award
wmners.
As a finale, Symphony concluded the concert with the prelude to "The Mastersingers
of Nunberg" by Richard Wagner.
"All of us put a Jot of effort and practice
into every performance. During the concerts
we all pulled together to give a good show,"
related senior Maria Cascio.

Apart from his involvement in class rehearsals and
performances, Baumgarten
took lessons Monday nights
at 7 p.m. with Mr. Stanley
Nosal to continue his eight

"Mr. Nosal has really influenced and supported me.
He makes me want to learn
more about the violin while
making it a fun experience,"
concluded Baumgarten.

"I was always interested
in music, especially flute
music ever since I was a little kid. I enjoyed music class
in elementary school so
much that when the opportunity arose for me to take
lessons, I jumped at the
chance," recalled junior
Rita Ventura.
Expanding her talents,
Ventura participated in
American Band and The
Band of the Blackwatch as
summer activities. Concert,
Symphonic, Wind Ensemble, pep band and orchestra
added to school-time involvement. In the Madrigal
Feaste she played recorder.
Outside of extra-curriculars, Ventura became a
member of the Zion Chamber Orchestra.
She has participated in
the WSMA District and
State Solo and Ensemble
contests since seventh
grade. She earned superior
ratings to advance to State
competition on the flute and
piccolo.
"Mainly, my parents have
had a large influence on me,
but also Miss Cindy Crump,
my first teacher; Mr. Paul
Taylor, my junior high director; and Grace Lakayne,
my first private teacher, had
an effect on me," commented Ventura.
"I get a lot out of band.
It's not overly competitive,
like a sport, so anyone can
be in it whether they are
good or not. It's something I
can excel at and still have
fun in the meantime," concluded Ventura.

At the Spring Concert on May 26,

Tapping to Hal Leonard songs to tape an educational video, tuning into
"Hey Jude" at GTI to enterain 1000 viewers, Rave Review, Jazz Band

ack up recognition, rewards
ave Review and
Jazz Band harmonized at practices to perfect music for Jazz
Festival and the Spring Spectacular.
In early January, perspective Rave Review
members tuned and tapped to broadway and
pop music for auditions. After making a final
selection of group members two weeks later,
director Kurt Chalgren cued 25 singers to
attend rehearsals on Monday and Wednesday
from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.
After weeks of practice, members harmonized melodies and perfected top hat and
cane dances to acquire national recognition.
On May 11, a video crew from Indianapolis,
Indiana, and a sound engineering crew from
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, set the projector rolling for Rave Review members. Taping "It's a
Grand Night for Singing," "Brand New Attitude" and others, Hal Leonard Publications
spent the day calling out the cadence for a
boogie beat. The finished product made its
way to music programs from California to
Maine as an educational tape to be used for
teaching purposes.
"It was a great experience to work with a
professional crew and John Jacobson, our
choreographer. John's dedication and professionalism motivated us all," added Rave Review member David Kexel.
Swinging into spring with a reprise of the

50

Hal Leonard tunes, Rave Review took final
bows on May 16 for the Spring Spectacular.
Soprano Shelly Wisniewski and alto Julie
Trusky soloed "Like an Eagle" and "Honey
Bun ." Barbershop quartet members Steve
Wiersum, Mike Quinn, Gary Fairbanks and
Chalgren, a last week replacement for senior
Mark Lovell, highlighted "My Wife Is On a
Diet."
"Since I was sick the week before the concert, I was unable to learn the changes in the
quartet. I was disappointed when Mr. Chalgren had to take over my part, but it was for
the good Of the group," explained Rave Review member Mark Lovell.
The Blue Jazz under the direction of James
Firchow set the tempo for the second half of
the Spring Spectacular. Such tunes as
"Strike up the Band," "Spain" and "Hey
Jude" echoed through the auditorium. John
Rasch and Paul Ruffolo chimed in with solos
on the baritone and trumpet.
"Sharing the Spring Spectacular with Jazz
Band gave the audience an added variety of
music. It went over well with the audience
because we had a full house," concluded
Rave Review member Jackie Pileski.
The Blue Jazz Ensemble set the upbeat
rehearsal simultaneous to the Red Jazz Ensemble under the direction of Louis Covelli.
Both 16-member groups practiced every

Tuesday evening in September.
Professors from UW-Stevens Point and
UW-Parkside tutored the ensembles in technique and intonation at the City Wide Jazz
Fest on Nov. l at Tremper. The clinic from 8
a.m. to 7 p.m. culminated with a concert from
7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. in the auditorium.
"I was really happy with my solo in Ice
Castles at Jazz Fest. The clinic helped me
with my technique, so I felt very confident,"
recalled baritonist John Rasch.
After Jazz Fest, Red and Blue Jazz ensembles syncopated ragtime tunes for the May 3
Gateway Technical Institute Anniversary
Celebration. They alternated time slots to resound rhythm for 1000 viewers. Blue Jazz
performed "Engine Number Nine" and
"Strike up the Band" along with Red Jazz's
"Carnival" and "Hay Burner."
It was an honor to play at the celebration
since Tremper was the only school in Kenosha requested to do so," smiled Firchow.
The year's practices crescendoed into superior ratings at the UW-Whitewater Jazz Festival on March 21. The ensembles received
two first places, Blue Jazz in the AAA category and Red Jazz in the AA category.
While tuning into an F chord at the Spring Spectacular
on May 16, quartet members Gary Fairba nks, Steve
Wiersum and Mike Guinn sing "My Wife Is On A Diet."

Keying up for musical opportunities offered in Chicago and Milwaukee, Rave
Review member Shelly Wisniewski transferred from
Cameron, Wisconsin, for
her senior year. She learned
of Tremper from Kurt Chalgren, her Kids from Wisconsin director.
"I love to attend musicals, operas and orchestras
performing around Kenosha. This, in addition to
Tremper's excellent music
program, has expanded my
outlook for my musical career," said Wisniewski.
At age four, Wisniewski's
parents introduced her to piano. "My parents have always stressed music before
schoolwork. This may seem
strange, but actually this
has helped to keep my
grades up. I have learned to
divide my time between the
two," noted Wisniewski.
Playing on her natural
music talents, Wisniewski's
repertoire included piccolo,
flute, violin, piano and oboe.
She also sang first soprano
in A Cappella, Madrigal
Singers, Kids from Wisconsin and Rave Review. Stepping into Rave Review's
tempo, she quickly memorized the choreography and
then worked with other
members on the routines.
After graduation, Wisniewski planned to tour with
the Kids from Wisconsin for
a second year and attend the
Madison School of Music in
the fall to pursue music professionally.

complete reversal this year.
As president, he has grown
in confidence, self assurance
and leadership. He is able to
identify a goal or cause and
strive for it," stated Choir
Director Kurt Chalgren.
Leading the A Cappella
Choir in warm-ups at the
beginning of class and before performances, Neumann also served as a liason
between the students and

In charge as Concert
president, senior Sue Roulette led the choir when Director Kurt Chalgren was
absent.
"I tried to influence the
others by setting a good example and encouraging
them to have a positive attitude," commented HouIette. "I also took attendance and, most importantly, supported other choir
members when one of them
was feeling down or needed
an extra push."
She joined the Concert
Choir as well as the A Capella Choir as a senior.
"I wasn't too involved my
sophomore and junior years,
so I wanted to broaden my
experiences by joining two
choirs my senior year. Even
though the basics are the
same, I can never get
enough of music," said
Roulette.
At the 23rd Annual
Spring Concert on May 20,
Roulette soloed in Concert
Choir's performance of
"Rock-A-Ma-Soul," a Negro spiritual.
"I really enjoyed performing a solo at the Spring
Concert. My selection as
president along with the solo
made me feel important and
gave me a more positive attitude toward school and life
in general. However, without Mr. Chalgren's training,
ability and friendship, my
accomplishments during my
involvement in the Tremper
choirs wouldn't have been as
rewarding," concluded
Houlette.

Communication allowed New Voice to spin disks, play cassettes,
compact disks, while Debate, Forensics turn tables in their favor as

erbal fighters earn State titles

ocal communication topped the
charts as students in debate and forensics
reached the State Tournament while New
Voice spun top 40 tunes to combine words
with music.
Researching the national topic of Agricultural Policy, debators persuaded opponents
and judges that they had the most logical
arguments. Debaters attended 13 tournaments throughout Wisconsin and returned to
Kenosha with first place trophies from Nathan Hale, Riverside, Greendale and Milwaukee Juneau. The trophies belonged to two
junior varsity and two novice four-person debate teams.
As affirmatives on this topic, seniors Amy
Mierta and Arnie Quinn qualified for the
Jan. 30 State Tournament at UW-Oshkosh,
by going undefeated at both Conference and
District competitions. Quinn and Mierta
were the first team in at least 15 years to
travel to State.
"We were really excited when we went undefeated at Conference and District because
we didn't expect to do that well. Then at
State we lost in the first round, but we had a
lot of fun, and it was a great experience,"
recalled Mierta.
Placing first at a Wisconsin Debate
Coaches Association sanctioned tournament,
three four-person teams qualified for the Jan.
17 Tournament of Champions in West Bend.
Throughout the season, speaker trophies
based on quality of materials and evidence,
analysis, cross-examination abilities, organization, reputation and delivery highlighted
each tournament. The following four individuals collected speaker trophies: Mierta and
Doug Simpson at the Nov. 8 Waukesha
South tournament and Michelle Dube and
Kristen Schnabel at the Dec. 6 Milwaukee
School of Engineering competition.
The debate banquet concluded the season
Feb. 23 at the Spaghetti Station. Third-year
letters went to Quinn and Mierta while senior

Jeff Pade, juniors Simpson, Dube, Pam Wynstra and Jim Balcom, and sophomores Schnabel, Sarah Christopherson, Jaymie Steagall,
and Karen Mierta received first-year letters.
Top Speakers awards recognized Mierta,
Simpson and Balcom. Coach Mary Snyder
presented Mierta the Most Wins award for
her 20 total wins.
After debate's most successful year, Forensics carbon-copied debate's achievements.
Beginning the season on Jan. 10 the forensics team travelled to the West Bend Festival.
Highlights of the season occurred at the
March 21 Brookfield Central Tournament
where second-year forensic member Dube recited her way to a second-place trophy for
poetry reading. First-year member Anna Fermin took third in the same category.
On March 26 the entire team of ten members qualified at the Wisconsin High School
Forensics Association District for the State
tournament.
April 4 brought 70 schools and over 1300
participants to UW-Oshkosh for an overnight
stay and the Wisconsin Forensic Coaches Association State Tournament.
Four Minute Speakers Won Kim and Tim
Petlock earned "A" ratings while Rotary exchange student Andrew Ross received a double "A" and Jill Blankley a triple "A" in the
same category.
In Storytelling, Steve Thomson read to a
triple "A" ratfng, and in Farrago, Nancy
Isetts was awarded a triple "A" also.
The team of Becky Werve and Kurt Parker
acted for a triple "A" in Playacting as Catherine Donaldson and Jeff Woosley grabbed a
double "A" in Poetry.
Dube and Anna Fermin earned a triple
"A" in Poetry. Fermin placed fifth overall
among the 100 poetry reading contestants.
She received a WHSF A plaque for her
achievements. "I was really excited when I
made the pre-power round, but I was so nervous that I forgot the introduction to my
poem. Then I recovered and did much better.

I was overwhelmed when I won fifth place
since this was my first year competing in high
school," explained Fermin.
Tuning in to music as well as word, New
Voice Radio played a variety of songs from
their newly purchased compact disk player at
a cost of $220.
New Voice earned between $65 and $75 a
dance. In addition to 13 sock hops, they traveled to Lincoln Junior High once and Lance
Junior High twice.
"As a part of New Voice, I learned how to
supply a good variety of music for different
age groups. We really profited from buying
the compact disk player because it added
more opportunities for us," concluded Craig
Sucharda.
All three groups centered their activities
around forms of communication. Although
New Voice's music contrasted with Debate
and Forensic's speakers, the mix showcased
teen talent.
To prepare for an upcoming round, negative debators
Arnie Quinn and Doug Simpson rehearse their cross
examination techniques at the Nathan Hale tournament.

felt that speaking as a debater would give him some
experience that would benefit him later in life with his
career.
The thing I like best
about debate is that I can
test my ideas against others
in a competition and see
them struggle against our
teams," explained Quinn.
Quinn and teammate
Amy Mierta wrote the
team's affirmative cases for
the entire year. They traveled to libraries at Carthage
College, UW-Parkside and
in Racine, in addition to
Kenosha's branches, to conduct research.
Competing at District
and Conference for the first
time as a senior, Quinn and
affirmative partner returned
home from both with with 30 records. However, at State
he was not as successful.
"We were so surprised every time we won. At State it
was a different story, we lost
right away, but we're proud
of our accomplishments,"
recalled Quinn.
According to teammate

Training kids about hazards of smoking as well as emphasizing the
effects of abusing drugs, alcohol, Wisconsin Lung, SADD, Pledgers

ncourage kids to just say NO
ducating elementary students about
smoking, combating drunk drivers and taking
a stance against drugs shaped group goals for
Wisconsin Lung, Students Against Driving
Drunk (SADD) and the Pledgers. Although
group objectives reflected similar concerns,
each approached the tasks differently.
Teaming up with adviser Gary Paulauskas,
15 individuals formed Wisconsin Lung.
Twice a week, through the month of March,
pairs traveled to nine Kenosha elementary
schools. Wisconsin Lung members hoped to
stamp out smoking by informing sixth graders about the hazards.
Each duo began the presentation with a
narrated slide show. The slides, provided by
the American Cancer Society, flashed graphic pictures which projected the harm caused
by smoking. It also showed how two children's decision not to smoke was affected by
parents and peers.
"The kids are really surprised at how damaging cigarettes can be. The thing I stress the
most is that smoking isn't cool," stated Wisconsin Lung member Clara-Jin Tappa .
The informational programs, held at Forest Park, Grewenow, Jeffery, Pleasant Prairie, Prairie Lane, Roosevelt, Southport, Curtis Strange and Jane Vernon, displayed a model of a smoking lung and concluded with a
question and answer period. "Kids asked
such questions as 'Do you smoke?' or 'How
can I get my parents to stop smoking?"' stated Wisconsin Lung participant Carolyn
Lueck.
While Wisconsin Lung strived to douse out
smoking, SADD discouraged students, as
well as adults, from driving while under the
influence. Meeting every first and third Monday, 20 club members stressed goals under
Advisers Mary Lou Bauer and Chris Seymour.
On March 25, five students took first place
in the Drug and Alcohol Awareness Video
Contest sponsored by the Kenosha Alcohol

Awareness Board. Three SADD members,
senior Mike Stoebe and juniors Carolyn
Lueck and Nancy Isetts, wrote and performed in the video called "The Letter." Junior Jim Slagoski and senior Jill Brever video-taped the three-minute skit.
"We made the video with the intent of
reaching as many people as possible and
showing the impact that drunk driving has on
innocent victims in order to demonstrate the
deadly impact that drunk driving has on society,'.' stated SADD Secretary Nancy Isetts.
SADP also conducted several slogan campaigns. During the holiday season, members
handed out candy canes with the phrase, "If
you drink and drive, you won't be alive for
'87," attached. Throughout Drug and Alcohol Awareness Week, March 16-20, SADD
members not only hung posters discouraging
drinking and driving, but also distributed
teenage drunk driving statistics in the Commons during lunch hours. In addition, the
club made announcements daily. Slogans included "Cars and bars make scars" and
"Friends don't let friends drive drunk."
Finally as Prom weekend neared, SADD
promoted the slogan, "Prom is to remember,
live for the memory, don't drink and drive."
Club members stuck this phrase in corsage
and boutoniere boxes and tuxedo jackets.
Besides these campaigns, SADD sponsered
two free, city-wide dances. Senator Joe Andrea attended the Aug. 19 dance at the Elk's
Club and stressed the hazards of alcohol and
cocaine abuse. Channel 4, WTMJ, covered
the dance and Andrea's speech. On March
20, BradfQrd and Tremper chapters held another dance at the Elk's Club.
Other SADD activities included entering a
float in the 1986 Fourth of July parade and a
car in the Homecoming parade line-up.
While SADD fought drinking and driving,
the 16 Pledgers, a new group, vowed not to
take drugs or alcohol for the remainder of the
school year.

advisers from around the city worked wit
Captains Doug and Henry Eckert, Kristel
Harms, Mike Post, Steve Redlin and Shelley
Reinke and the parent support organization
to plan monthly socials for Pledgers. T he
group designed gatherings so Pledge participants could attended socials without the
threat of being offered drugs or alcohol.
Pledgers bopped on Sept. 20 at a city-wide
Pledger dance at the Local 72 on Washington
Road.
Dressed as Halloween spooks, Pledger
groups served as guides in a haunted house at
Lincoln Junior High on Oct. 31 .
On Feb. 28, Pledge members at the Kenosha Athletic Club toned-up with racquetball,
aerobics and volleyball. Later, Pledge members talked to junior high Pledgers about
drugs and alcohol.
"We tried to stress the importance of continuing the Pledge in senior high, especially
because of the greater availability of drugs
and alcohol along with the ever increasing
peer pressure to be part of the in -crowd,"
stated captain Kristel Harms.
Highlighting their year on March 14,
Pledger members attended a banquet at the
Elk's Club. At the gathering, members
viewed the video "Pledger's Shuffle." Mayor
John D. Bilotti congratulated them for the
positive attitude they projected.
The Pledgers bopped in $500 on April 2
when co-sponsoring the Dance-a-thon with
Quill and Scroll, Minority Leadership and
the Parent Advisory Committee. Pledgers
checked in dance participants from 2:30 p. m .
to 4 p. m., served soft drinks and distributed
Dance-a-thon T-shirts. Ten Pledgers jammed
at the Dance-a-thon while parents chaperone9 the dance.
Profiting $53 from ticket sales, the Pledgers concluded the year's activities May 2 with
Pledger's night at the Twins.
Practicing principles in difficult peer situations, Wisconsin Lung, SADD and the Pledgers chose to bar butts, booze and drugs .

SADD acts
Stressing group goals,
SADD President Liz Wilson made the chapter more
active in the community and
created new SADD groups
in the area. "SADD is responsible for establishing
chapters in New Berlin, Sun
Prairie and Bradford High
Schools," stated Wilson.
As president, Wilson led
brainstorming sessions the
club held to devise creative
slogans. "I like to come up
with the ideas and then put
the ideas into action,"
smiled Wilson.
Increasing awareness of
SADD statistics and intervention services were the
most significant ideas Wilson brought to life. Wilson
aided teens with problems
by referring them to such
services as KIDS inc., AlTeen and the Crisis Intervention Center.
She also helped the club
create slogans to discourage
kids from drinking during
Prom weekend .
"One slogan stated,
'Prom is to remember, live
for the memory, don 't drink
and drive.' We stuck paper
with this slogan on it in corsages and boutonniere
boxes, tuxedos and anyplace
students went for Prom
things, " added Wilson.
Although Wilson helped
others as president, she concluded, "SADD has given
me something in return for
my efforts. It has made me
more confident in my ideas
and abilities to influence
others into doing something
that I believe in."

the farm, spotlighting school talent, MLC, Christians In Action, Stage Crew

ave the way for getting involved
remiering as two
new organizations,
Minority Leadership Council and Christians
In Action took the front stage while Stage
Crew remained behind the curtain directing
spotlights and checking sound levels.
Minority Leadership Council, with the
help of adviser Ms. Frances Werve, formed
to aid minority students who sought colleges
and well-paying jobs. Representatives from
UW-Oshkosh and UW-Whitewater answered questions and handed out brochures
and pamphlets at the Dec. 5 meeting. Approximately 50 minority students attended
the event.
"The clinic gave me forms and booklets on
UW-Whitewater, where I am interested in
attending," stated Minority Leadership
Council treasurer Diane Bonds.
Selling doughnuts during the 15-minute
break between exams, Minority Leadership
Council profited $40.
Thirteen Council members participated in
the Dance-a-thon "Shufflin' Thru the Night"
while others checked coats. Splitting the
money earned with Quill and Scroll and
Pledgers, Minority Leadership Council
earned $450. With club funds, ten council
members made a video about Martin Luther
King Jr., honoring his fight during the civil
rights movement.
They also made an announcement on the

60

MLC / CIA / SC

anniversary of King's birthday stating his
goals and accomplishments.
Uniting with Bradford's Minority Leadership Council, the two planned a joint dance.
Forming a completely new group, just as
Minority Leadership Council did, Bible Club
took on a new image with a different name,
Christians In Action.
Each Monday and Friday after school,
Christians In Action met with advisor Mr.
Jerry Cooper. They recited phrases from the
Bible, discussed how the Lord affected their
lives and lent personal support to members.
Three bake sales cashed in $75 so that
Christians In Action enjoyed a hay ride on
Nov. 7 at a Kenosha County farm.
"Our group has grown this year, to 20
members. Our objectives have changed, and
we hope to establish a fellowship between
more of Tremper's Christians," commented
Bible Club Officer Beth Siebert.
Renewing traditional activities, eight
Stage Crew members set the scene for the
Oct. 3 Homecoming Coronation, Madrigal
Feaste and Prom. Correct spotlights, microphones and scenery for sport assemblies, 2A/
2B assemblies, concerts and school plays occupied the crew's time backstage with the
help of adviser Mr. Gary Paulauskas.
"People don't realize that we have to perfect the lights and sound in less than an hour.
If something goes wrong, we have to correct

it as quickly as we can, hoping no one has
noticed," stated two-year Stage Crew member Michelle Glynn.
Focusing on different goals, Minority
Leadership Council, Bible Club and Stage
Crew broadened the spectrum of school activities to appeal to 40 more students.

In MLC's first year of existance, Diane Bonds entered Ms. Frances Werve's
room for the first Minority
Leadership Council meeting
in September.
"I did not know at all
what to expect, but neither
did anyone else," stated
treasurer Diane Bonds.
Having met the others,
Bonds immediately became
an active member by running for treasurer.
"I decided to run for the
pos1t1on of treasurer because I thought it would
help me become more involved with the group and
give me a chance to learn to
work with people," commented treasurer Bonds.
Bonds helped Minority
Leadership Council with the
doughnut sale during semester exams and also attended
the college clinic at
Tremper for minont1es.
Bonds danced in the Dancea-thon "Shufflin' Thru the
Night" and then tallied up
the money the club earned.
Never having the opportunity to be in any organization like Minority Leadership Council, Bonds has improved her communication
and decision-making skills.
Bonds believes the council
has helped her appreciate
her heritage more.
"The club has helped me
in so many ways. I have
definitely decided to go to
college, and I am forced to
keep a C average. The club
showed me many possibilities for my future," concluded Bonds.

Spanish, French, German members encounter cultures of countries
around world through celebrations of Halloween, Mardi Gras with

ombreros, slides, Tuno singers
alutations of
"hola," "bonjour"
and "guten tag" along with brightly colored
streamers splashed across the cafeteria walls
on March 3 to promote a Mardi Gras atmosphere. Spanish, French and German club
members celebrated "Fat Tuesday" with pizza purchased from club funds. Desserts,
baked by members, consisted of yule logs,
cream puffs and napolean.
As the evening's entertainment, cultural
music set the tone for exchange student presentations. While flashing slides, Markku
Vorne and Andrew Ross spoke about their
home countries, Finland and Zimbabwe. Senior Courtney Benbow also showed a slide presentation on her exchange year in Europe.
"I enjoyed the slides from Finland because
the mountains and landscape were so beautiful," commented Spanish club member Anna
Lynn Fermin.
A dozen French club members also celebrated an evening on tl'e town in January at
Guttormsens. After scoring strikes and
spares, members polished off pizzas and soda
at Villa D'Carlo.
"The funniest part of the night was when
my friend bowled a game total of eight. It was
the first time she had ever bowled, and she
got nine gutter balls," laughed French club
member Kerry Johnson.
To fund the French club activities, members raised $500 selling M&M's. They used

62

Spanish/ French / German

$60 of this money to allow 40 students in
French I, III and V to participate in a test
sponsored by the National Association of
French Teachers. Senior Brian Helmke
ranked fifth in the state on this exam.
Both French and Spanish clubs planned
field trips to downtown Chicago in April and
March. They shopped for the latest fashions
at Water Tower Place and afterwards sampled food at the Hard Rock Cafe.
"I had heard about the musical instruments of stars and the car hanging in front of
the Hard Rock Cafe but had never been there
before. That's why I was so excited when I
found out we were going there," explained
French club member Michelle Glynn.
Two hundred and fifty Spanish club members also bussed over to Reuther Alternative
High School on March 9 for a district Spanish program. There, five tuno singers serenaded them with traditional Mexican folksongs and hatdances.
On the academic side, four German students participated in an exam sponsored by
the American Association of Teachers of
German in January. Junior Richard LeMay
scored in the 91 percentile nationwide, which
made him eligible for the grand prize, a trip
to Nuremberg.
After the test, LeMay sent in his application to a state selection panel and then appeared for a personal interview by selection.
On March 7, two Wisconsin German teach-

ers and a German professor scanned him for
opinions on American affairs and aspects of
American life.
On March 10, LeMay received conformation on his selection as a recipient for the allexpense paid trip to Germany from June 24
to July 22.
"It's so exciting to think I'm going to Germany with 60 students from the United
States that I don't know, all because I took a
test," exclaimed LeMay.
Though each language club had it's own
activities, collectively the clubs spooked up
$250 per club at the Halloween dance on Oct.
29. Students costumed as ghosts and goblins
boogied to the beat of top 40 hits played by
New Voice.
In October, all three clubs pooled together
to spend $425 on a video recorder for the
foreign language department.
"Since we always had trouble with a blurry
recorder, we voted in '86 to buy a new one
and spent the money for it this year," explained French club Adviser Mrs. Louise
Mattioli.
The foreign language clubs complimented
classes. Students tasted and viewed culture
through club activities to enrigh in-class
learning.
Eating pizza at Mardi Gras, French club members Kelly
Powell and Karen Pint and exchange student Markku
Vorne talk about their home countries.

"Spanish really interested
me because my parents
speak Phillipino at home.
Some words are similar to
Phillipino, so in eighth
grade, I decided that I
would get involved in Spanish," said Spanish Club
President Lisa Fermin.
Fermin completed four
years of Spanish and joined
Spanish club to enrich her
in-class learning. She was
elected secretary her junior
year and president her senior year.
"The main thing Spanish
has helped me with is overcoming shyness. As president, I have to run meetings
and talk to many people so
that activities are run
smoothly," commented Fermin.

After organizing a field
trip to Reuther for Spanish
classes, Fermin was nominated to represent Tremper
on stage at this event. Wearing a beaded Spanish dress,
Fermin pinned a red and
blue ribbon on a Mexican
singer as a welcome token.
Fermin also took partial
charge in organizing the
Mardi Gras celebration. Between calling people to
bring dessert and organizing
the exchange student presentations, Fermin's efforts
polished off "Fat Tuesday."
"Spanish is something
that will help me communicate with people all over the
world. I plan to minor in
Spanish and major in psychology at Parkside," concluded Fermin.

By drawing 769 pints of blood, organizing Homecoming festivities,
planning exchange days, Congress, Quad School fire up leadership as

tudents collect spirit, donors
triving to promote
school spirit, interschool communication and community activities, Student Congress and Quad School
Committee buckled down to reach these
goals.
Student Congress focused on Homecoming
as one of two most important projects. They
promoted pep at the rally on Oct. 3. Racking
up points for the spirit bell competition, individual classes gobbled up chocolate pie and
leaned into the limbo at the Homecoming
pep rally. After senior spirit reigned over the
bell, Tremperites twisted to tunes by The
Beach Boys and Phil Collins as Congress supplied New Voice D.J.'s.
Displaying spirit to the community, Congress staked out the Homecoming parade
route at 9 a.m. on Oct. 4. Floats promoting
the defeat of the Case Eagles made their way
from Lincoln Park to Anderson Field at I 0
a.m.
Later that evening 200 Tremperites and
alumni enjoyed rust, brown and gold streamers and balloons that draped the gym for the
dance. Congress members spent eight hours
preparing the gym for this "Fall Frolic."
"Homecoming was my favorite time of the
year. The dance with Windwatcher really
topped off all the fun times I had in decorating the gym with balloons and fall leaves,"
remembered Sophomore Class President Michelle Stanich.
Decorations and recruitment locked Congress on the success track for Blood Drive,
the other major project. On Feb. 13, pink, red
and white streamers, the muscle blood drop
poster and "That Crazy Little Thing Called
Blood" T-shirts reminded students of the upcoming March 19 and 20 drive. Saturday,
Feb. 14, Congress arrived at school at 9 a.m.
to dial for donors and to decorate for the

reunion dinner and kick-off dance.
"All the time and effort we spent decorating and planning for the Drive was well worth
it. Past members of Congress enjoyed hearing
the progress of the Blood Drive over the years
and students loved dancing to music played
by Shout," smiled junior class treasurer
Shawn Tabor.
The dance and reunion built the momentum necessary for Congress members to recruit 1150 donors over the next five weeks.
Tapping 769 pints of blood at the Drive, Congress set a school record of 419 pints collected the second day.
To fund activities such as the Blood Drive,
Congress pumped up the treasury by earning
$600 at the Back-to-School dance on Sept.
12. Over 400 students attended.
Besides spending the money on major
events, Congress funded a Halloween party
on Oct. 31 . Costumed as the opposite sex and
witches, members ate pizza and viewed Halloween at senior class president Damian Marhefka's house. The money also went towards
a holiday dinner which 15 people attended at
the Spaghetti Station on Dec. 21.
After increasing the money in the treasury,
Congress guided parents at Open House on
Nov. 18. Fifteen members handed out pamphlets, instructed parents to classrooms and
served refreshments from 7 to 9 p.m.
Also in November Congress exhibited patriotism by purchasing 30 classroom flags
from Bob's Banners. For the auditorium and
flagpole, they also ordered two flags previously flown over the Capital Building in
Washington D.C. Congress spent $100 for
the flags as Key Club chipped in another
$100 to offset the cost.
On Dec. 18, Congress cautioned citizens in
Kenosha about unsafe drinking and driving
during the holidays. They distributed flyers

ing the holidays. They distributed flyers a
at places such as K-Mart, Pershing Plaza an
Market Square parking lots.
In January, Congress also aided the com
munity when they realized the need for a tur
arrow at the corner of 30th A venue and 80t
Street. Obtaining 400 signatures, External
Chair Cathy Rizzo and other committe
members appeared at the Municipal Buildin
to express concern to the Public Safety and
Welfare Committee.
"To convince the city of the need for th

voted in favor of the arrow, increasing the left

As Congress conducted activities throughout the year, Quad School Committee gave
students from other high schools in Kenosha
an encounter at Tremper and vice versa. The
committee consisted of two seniors, two juniors and one sophomore elected by Student
Congress. Qualifications for an exchange included having academic credentials, having
no disciplinary referrals and not being a previous member of the exchange school. Exchanges occured among Tremper, Bradford,
Reuther and St. Joseph on Nov. 13 and Feb.
12.
"At exchange meetings, we talked about
issues concerning the exchange. The only
problem we had was of people not showing
up," recalled junior Tara Ladousa-Mason.
Congress and Quad School Committee involved students who desired a leadership
roles in school and between schools. Each
member took part in improving the environment of the school and community.

"Student Congress has increased my confidence in

stated Student Congress
President Robin Pious.
Pious served as a junior
class representative to Congress and was then elected
president her senior year. As
president, Pious' most challenging jobs included orgamzing Homecoming and
heading the Blood Drive.
During Blood Drive,
Pious assigned members to
committees and oversaw
committee progress. Pious
contacted news broadcasting stations including T.V.
channel 4's WTMJ with updates. She interviewed for
the Kenosha News Youth
Page before kick-off and for
an additional article after
the drive completion.
"Blood Drive was rewarding because I saw all our effort and hard work come together in a successful way.
A project of this size requires cooperation from all
Congress members," remembered Pious.
As a senior, Pious presided over Congress meetings, delivered a Homecoming queen candidate speech
and directed sophomore
class elections.
"These duties as President gave me the opportunity to discover that I love
working with people. As a
result, I have decided to major in public relations at
Drake University in Des

Pious.

lubs showcased
writing and acting
talents. Because these club members worked
to meet deadlines, other students viewed
plays or publications produced through these
activities.
Calliope, a new group formed as an outgrowth of the Creative Writing classes, published a 125 copies of a literary magazine also
named Calliope. The publication, selling for
$2, included vignettes, poems and short stories from other Tremperites. Their English
teachers encouraged these students to submit
selections to the magazine.
Under the skilled hands of Art Editor Eric
Baierl, Poetry Editor Jenise Proksa, Prose
Editor Mike Stoebe and Adviser Ann Bergquist, the students created a 60-page magazine that displayed the students' work in poetry, prose, cartoons and art on Feb. 26.
On Oct. 29, Michael Schumacher, a fulltime free-lance writer, visited the Creative
Writing classes as a guest speaker. At that
time, he was writing a biography on Allen
Ginsberg, a contemporary literary writer, and
was under contract with Harper and Row
Publishing Company. Schumacher encouraged the students and gave some important
tips for serious writers. His helpful hints advocated self-discipline, skepticism, originality, professionality and openness to criticism.
"Schumacher was responsible for motivating the student and for emphasizing the fact
that any creative endeavor requires great discipline," noted Mrs. Bergquist.

While Calliope worked throughout the
year to create a literary magazine, Tempest
staffers strove to meet weekly deadlines and
publish a bi-weekly newspaper. Leading the
staff, Co-editors Brady Mccarron and Hans
Baierl directed 20 staff members to produce
the paper.
Meeting daily during sixth and seventh
hours in the Tempest office, two shifts of
staffers wrote stories, conferred with Adviser
Frank Falduto for approval and typed final
drafts. Qualifications for Tempest included
Journalism I and teacher consent.
Besides writing stories, the staffers sold the
paper in front of the Tempest office during
the lunch hours. Printers published 600
copies of the Tempest for each issue but decreased that number to 500 issues because of
low sales. However, 175 subscribers, who
picked up their papers during their lunch
hour, provided the staff with a consistent audience.
In the beginning of the school year, Oct. 13
to early December, Tempest students sold
Merkt Pizza in the Commons every day after
school. The staff used these profits to publish
the bi-weekly paper at a cost of $430 an issue.
"The pizza sale was very successful during
the beginning of the year, but as the year
went on sales dropped. We sold 57 cases of
pizza ourselves and sold 18 to junior class for
their sale," stated Business Manager Jackie
Thomas.
While the Tempest staff raked in profits in

October, the Drama Club members were
busy memorizing lines and preparing scenes
for their first production, "Our Town." The
thirty actors met daily in the auditorium at
2:45 p.m. and polished each scene under the
direction of Mr. Thomas Amacher. The company debuted their show on Thursday, Nov.
13, at 8 p.m. and continued the production
through Nov. 15.
"Even though Dan Kaley's lung collapsed
and people dropped out of the play, the end
result was extremely good. Everyone worked
hard to produce the show, and that's what
counts," commented Clara-Lin Tappa, who
portrayed Emily.
After taking in $300 from "Our Town,"
the Drama Club started planning for their
children's play, "Fiesta Teatro." Amacher
held auditions on Jan. 6 and 7 and started
rehearsals on Jan. 8.
"The children's play was a learning experience for me. The actors got to write the play
themselves, and it was more fun to perform
something we wrote ourselves. Since we
didn't have a script, we had to constantly pay
attention to each other," explained President
Nancy Isetts.
The ten thespians involved in the play hit
the stage Feb. 6 and 7 at 7 p.m. and collected
$100 during the two-night show.
While deadlines produced papers or plays,
each group's members gained long term perspective in finishing a team effort.

"Drama Club and Tempest are similar in the fact
that they both have deadlines to meet, even though
Tempest's deadlines are
more to fear. If you don't
meet your deadlines, your
product is hurt," expalined
Tempest editor and Drama
Club member Brady
McCarron.
McCarron's journalistic
career plans led him to the
Tempest staff for some
hands-on experience. In his
junior year, McCarron took
Journalism I and then interviewed for Tempest.
" I thought being an editor
would be interesting, challenging and fun, so I went
for the position. I had an interview with Mr. Falduto
where I told him why I
would be a good editor, and
he chose me!" exclaimed
McCarron about his sixth
hour editor's job. He directs
a staff of ten.
Although McCarron did
not serve as an officer in
Drama Club, he gained
membership by successfully
auditioning for the role of
the Stage Manager in "Our
Town." In February, he appeared in various roles in
"Fiesta Teatro."
McCarron explained,
"Drama Club has helped me
to not be nervous in front of
people and to meet deadlines. If you don't know your
lines by a certain date, you
don't perform. Actually,
both groups have taught me
to be a better leader."

cting solely as honorary organizations,
NHS raised its membership to 105 members
while Quill & Scroll added 31 initiates to the
19 past members.
Altering the previous requirements for entrance into National Honor Society of maintaining a 3.5 grade point average on the 4.0
scale for six consecutive quarters, NHS required sophomores and juniors to remain on
honor roll for three out of four quarters. Students studied in order to gain membership to
Tremper's chapter. The induction of the 74
new members took place on Oct. 21 at 7 p.m.
The program began with an invocation by
Counselor Andrew Fennema, followed by A
Cappella Choir singing "Ain't Got Time to
Die." Principal Richard Regner was featured
as the guest speaker. Golden Strings followed
with "Carmen Medley."
Next on the program the officers spoke on
the four qualities displayed by the members
of NHS. President Cathy Rizzo spoke on
scholarship. Vice-President Damian Marhefka gave his speech on character. Secretary
Melissa Chell discussed service, and Treasurer Arnie Quinn concluded that portion of the
evening with leadership.
The inductees repeated the NHS pledge.
Principal Regner then awarded their certifi-

cates and honorary passes.
Golden Strings concluded the NHS induction with "Over the Rainbow."
The induction banquet took place March
30 at the Kenosha Women's Club. The evening began with an invocation by Vice-president Kirstin Powell, followed by dinner catered by Falduto's.
Mr. Bill Robbins, a public relations representative for University of Wisconsin-Parkside, free-lances his articles, some 35 of
which have been published by USA Today.
He shared suggestions for classes to take in
college when pursuing a degree in journalism.
After initiation occurred, the advisers of
Classic, Tempest, and Caliope, Mrs. Sandra
Jacoby, Mr. Frank Falduto, and Mrs. Anne
Bergquist, respectively, spoke about each junior or senior that gained admission to Quill
& Scroll. Each initiate had completed one
semester of a school publication, ranked in
the top third of their class, received a recommendation by his adviser. Mrs. Mary Snyder
awarded pins and membership cards.

classes a day instead of six," remembered
junior Jeanne Hayes.
Adviser John Schmidt selected 25 students
to attend tutoring sessions. Selection was
based on grade point average in the following
three categories: honors- 3.75 to 4.00, scholastic 3.00 to 3.74 and varsity 0.00 to 2.99.
Starting on Sept. 17, these sessions continued
Wednesday afternoon from 2:30- 4:30 p.m.
until the end of October.
In order to prepare students for testing,
training sessions focused on one topic per
night. Topics ranged from Physics and Economics to Fine Arts and Literature.
"Without the help after school, testing
would have been impossible! Before Mrs.
Teegarten tutored us in Art, I was lost," recalled junior Rita Ventura.
After weeks of studying, a screening test
narrowed down students to 9 who would actually compete in the decathlon. Performance
on the test, attendance at tutoring sessions
and willingness to make a commitment comprised the selection criteria.
Team members competed in the qualifying
round against 15 teams at Greenfield High
School in Milwaukee on Nov. 12. It contained 25 multiple choice and true-false questions in each of the following subject areas:
economics, mathematics, science, fine arts,
social science and language and literature.
An individual team member could score up
to 2400 points on the test. The nine highest
individual scores, adding up to 10900 points,
totalled the team score. This fell 300 points
short of qualifying for regionals.
"Our main problem was a lack of training
in World History. The map identifications
brought our scores down," concluded senior
Larry Jonaus.

Decathlon members on April 8 for the hours

As a junior, Serpe enrolled in Marketing I to expand his knowledge about
his parent's business, Video

DECA and was elected

events. At State, his series
on General Merchandise

place while his shoplifting
campaign took first place.

also took third place at Nationals.
"As DECA president, I

enthusiasm to encourage

Serpe's involvement with
DECA also brought him

Attending summer camps for Trojanettes at Waukesha's Caroll
College and cheerleaders at Illinois' Rockford College, both squads

pirit to first place awards
ummer sizzled for
Trojanettes and
cheerleaders. They racked up nine first place
awards and two spirit titles.
Prospective Trojanettes flocked to the
Commons on May 7 to learn the try-out
dance to Phil Collins' "Who Said I Would?"
Immediately after try-outs the pom-pon
girls danced for a pregame performance at
the Twins field on May 27 and oiled up with
the start of the annual suntan lotion fundraiser. The money earned offset the girls'
camp expenses.
From Aug. 16-19, the Trojanettes danced
their way to four first place nightly ratings
and a first place trophy for learning steps and
executing them flawlessly at night. A first
place trophy also rewarded originality for a
dance perfected before camp, and a first
place ribbon recorded the minute-and-a-half
dance they performed their first night.
Judges awarded one daily Spirit Board title
to Trojanettes at camp at Caroll College in
Waukesha, Illinois.
"We hadn't won any awards in a long time.
Then each time we won another, we were
shocked and filled with pride that we were
doing so well for Tremper," said three-year
Trojanette Julie Bonaretti.
For the Fourth of July, Trojanettes kicked
their way through Kenosha's streets.
Taking their dances on the road, the girls
competed at the State Fair in Milwaukee on
Aug. 3 but did not place. The squad continued on to a show at the Midwest Invitational
in Palatine, Illinois, with their dance to
"Baby Talk" by Billy Idol on Aug. 23 but
again did not place.
As September rolled in, the girls practiced
Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3-5 p.m. in the
Commons.

Tro.lJinettes) Cheerleaders

M & M sales from Sept. 15-21 added $400
to the $500 collected Sept. 19 at the Trojanette dance. Switching from the usual New
Voice Radio, the girls hired the bands Midnight Fantasy and Paradox to rock at the
sock-hop.
"I knew several people in the bands who
wanted a chance to play at Tremper. It was a
lot of work getting the OK from Mr. Paulauskas and Mr. Regner, but it was worth it. We
made a lot of money, and everyone had a
great time," recalled three-year Trojanette
Kristine Rhey.
Performing in front of Trojan crowds, the
squad entertained at half time of both football and basketball games and at the annual
sport assemblies.
At these same events, the cheerleaders
roused the crowds with their spirited chants.
Cheerleaders staged try-outs May 26.
Cheerleader candidates designed two sideline
cheers along with performing one floor cheer.
To test the candidates agility, judges requested gymnastic stunts and two jumps.
Once the girls were named, 12 varsity and
eight sophomore cheerleaders practiced every Tuesday and Thursday from 1 to 3 p.m. at
Jeffrey School.
At cheerleading camp held at Rockford
College in Illinois from July 22 to 26, 15
cheerleading squads worked from 7:30 a.m.
to 9:30 p.m. They broke for meals and an
hour of free-time.
Working together, the girls earned the
Spirit Stick, an award given to the squad with
the most spirit and best attitude. They also
tucked a first place ribbon for general cheering and a superior rating for the best overall
squad into their suitcases as the varsity squad
and two sophomores returned to K-town to
feed the football players.

As the football team churned the turf with
double-day practices, the cheerleaders
brightened the guys' spirits by setting up
lunch. The guys feasted on sub sandwiches
from Hungry Head, potato chips, kool-aid
and cupcakes.
"I think they enjoyed their lunch because
they ate three whole six-foot subs. We had a
lot of fun organizing and serving the guys,"
commented varsity cheerleader Heather
Johnson.
Two weeks before school the girls increased practice time to 9 to 11 a.m. daily.
Cheerleaders' signs hung on lockers, footballs filled with candy, doughnuts covered
with frosting, good luck cards and signs posted at players' houses, all attempted to psyche
the players out for the Homecoming game.
The football team invited the cheerleaders
to the football team's banquet at the Italian
American on Nov. 5 as a thank-you for everything the girls had done.
For their own banquet, the cheerleaders
gathered at Chi-Chi's on Nov. 20. As the
squads shifted to basketball, the girls fed assigned players stockings filled with candy the
week before Christmas vacation.
To pay for all spirit-raising expenses,
cheerleaders sold M & M's the first week of
school. Earlier in the summer, two car washes
splashed $75 into the account, making a
grand total of $600. The sock hop on Feb. 28
contributed $235.
Trojanettes and cheerleaders both practiced, perfected and performed their skills for
judges, crowds and fun.
"I liked cheering at games. Even though
the guys are sometimes mean to us, they really like having us there; plus it's a lot of fun!"
concluded varsity cheerleader Michelle
Glynn.

As captain of both the
varsity basketball and football cheerleading squads,
senior Helen Stankus organized Homecoming festivities for football players and
treated the basketball players to stockings stuffed with
candy at Christmas. In addition, she kept attendance at
games and practices and
planned fundraisers.
Stankus began cheering
in ninth grade at Lance Jr.
High.
"I tried out because when
I was little I had to watch
my brothers play their football games. Since I was used
to going to the games, I
thought I'd give it a shot,"
remembered Stankus.
During her three years as
a varsity cheerleader, the
most disappointing game
Stankus remembers was the
Tremper-Park football
game in her junior year.
"Both teams were undefeated; if we had won, we
would have gone to State.
We lost 7-6," she explained.
Intense game-action almost resulted in injuries to
Stankus, especially at the
January 30 Tremper-Horlick basketball game of her
senior year.
"One minute I was talking to another cheerleader,
and the next, I was on the
floor with center John
Steinbrink on my leg! He
ran off court after a ball and
knocked me over! That was
so embarrassing and something I'll never forget!"
noted Stankus.

Even though seniors, juniors and sophomores had
trouble meeting schedules,
deadlines, getting it together for term papers and finals, A Classic Accepts No
Substitutes, nothing less
than the academic best.
Daydreams of rounds of
graduation parties and summer freedom at Silver Lake
were, as usual, rudely interrupted by academics. Seniors coping with senioritis
were forced to push back visions of turned tassles and
buckle down to the books
for one last time, while underclassmen grumbled right
along with them.
In an effort to enforce serious academic attitudes,
the administration laid
down stiffer penalties for
would-be skippers that
meant one day of In-SchoolSuspension for each and every hour of the day missed.
The purchase of Apple
Ile's opened the door for art
students to become userfriendly with the world of
computer graphics using the
computer graphics lab.
Buckling into books to
gain admission to Parkside,
Madison or Marquette, students tried to juggle home-

work, clubs, college applications, ACT forms and mail
assaults from colleges everywhere.
Capping off a program
that started in seventh
grade, first-year Calculus
students worked through an

Calculus for five possible

extra final exam on June 10,
students got the jump on
college credits.
Those Trojans chosen as

Spring substituted academic responsibilities in the

exams for the whirlwind of
social times like Prom and
Powder puff. When not
enough study resulted in low
grades, the lesson to be
learned appropriately
enough was that Academics
accepts no understudy, no
pinch hitter, no fall guy, no

After eight weeks, 42 students alter daily routines

While most students had grown comfortable with the daily one to seven, a schedule
change affected 42 students in the eighth
week of the first quarter. Through high enrollment, two English classes, one environmental biology, one algebra and one algebra/
geometry survey class were added.
"When forming a master schedule, a person tries to balance out class size. It's very

explained Assistant Principal Francis Oberpriller.

In recent years, three times as many students per semester received a study hall as
this year. Because of the increased 17 credit
graduation requirement, only a third remained in the study halls. Thus, scheduling
specific courses became more complex, and
numbers of students per class increased dramatically.
On Sept. 23, a letter from the Office of
Personnel Services to the Board of Education
stated that the level of students in the math,
science and English classes was higher than
initially projected. Personnel Services then
requested that a total of five classes be added.
After approval by the Board of Education
on the night of proposal, Oberpriller was allowed to add five classes or the equivalent of
one teacher. Three teachers received additional classes over their initially set classes:
Ms. Janet Frothaus, Algebra II and Algebra/ Geometry survey; Mr. Orlando Infusino, English Lit. 10, and Comp. 11; and Mr.
Robert Pozza, Environmental Biology.
"After I had talked to the teachers, I approached the school board with the proposal.
Two weeks later, it was approved," said
Oberpriller. "That's when the rescheduling
got to be tricky. A list had to be made of who
could be switched out of their English, math,
or science classes, and out of that list, who
could be switched with the least difficulty."
"I disliked the late schedule change at first,

Students expand classroom horizons to view
Milwaukee Journal and Cilento Photograph Whether attending a Spanish performance
of La Tuna or observing a computer make

following departments took field trips: Business, 23; Special Education, eight; English,
five; Minority Leadership Council, four; Industrial Arts, three; Art, two; Music, two;
Social Studies, one; and Foreign Language,
one.
On Oct. 20, Mr. Greg Kitzmiller's fourth
period Mechanical Drawing class toured
through Snap-On Tools. They observed
drafting done on a computer and watched
another computer run a machine that produced screwdrivers.
"In class we learned to work with computers. Watching that process take place was
quite interesting and helpful. Before the field
trip, working with the computers was a little
confusing, but after the field trip, I understood it more clearly," remarked senior
Heather Anthonsen.
The Minority Leadership Council attended
the annual Minority Leadership Conference
in Racine on Oct. 22. At this conference students participated in several different classes
that dealt with careers that they could pursue. These classes ranged from being a doctor
to a secretary.

were very informative, and at the end they
held a dance for all who participated in the
conference," said senior Angee Perez.
The Classic photographers attended a Student Day Seminar Session at the Red Carpet
Hotel in Milwaukee on April 2. During this
conference, students heard guest speakers
presented by Cilento Photography.
One session, conducted by Mr. John Alley,
was called "When all is said and done, I'm a
photographer and I take pictures." He explained how to take the perfect picture and
displayed photos taken on assignment in 40
countries on five continents.
"In the seminar by Mr. John Alley I
learned about the use of the open bulb flash.
Using this kind of flash gives the picture
more depth and detail," commented Assistant Photography Editor Holly Christopherson.

The Spanish classes heard authentic Spanish music from a Spanish singing group. The
group, called La Tuna, presented a short concert for all K. U .S.D. schools. At this program, the students asked the musicians questions after individual pieces.
"Listening to the Spanish singers allowed
me to observe the Spanish culture and the
uniqueness of its music," commented sophomore Mike Gelsone.
Mr. Frank Falduto's journalism classes
took a field trip to the Milwaukee Journal
Corporation on Dec. 15. They saw the process of producing a daily newspaper and compared the facility to their own.
"At the Milwaukee Journal we saw how
the journalistic skills we learned in class were
applied. Also, they taught us how to make
paper hats, and we enjoyed ourselves," remarked senior John Murray.
From Marshall Field to Jockey International, the field trips taken by the business
department dealt with the students observing
and participating with the skills learned in
their business classes. Hotel/motel management, leadership qualities and marketing
management were the skills observed.
Whether the students exercised their skills
or observed a process, the field trips enriched
students learning in that specific department.

Photography students enhance original designs
keying on details with computer graphics lab
"We wanted- to incorporate computer
graphics into the art program," reflected Mr.
Lynn Obertin, the photographic art instructor. He decided in 1984 that art students
needed the direction of the computer age in
the classroom.
Aided by Media Director Frank Perri,
Tremper Computer Committee Director
Robert Warren and Instructional Media
Center Manager Michael Murphy, Mr.
Obertin researched the potential of a computer graphics lab.
Mr. Obertin visited Lake Shore Technical
School in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, during August of 1985. Television production instructors there developed a computer-aided graphics lab for the television production classes
and demonstrated many aspects of computeraided graphics and their application to the

art curriculum.
Mr. Obertin, with his advisers, then composed plans for the proposed lab. The lab was
to include six Apple Ile computers with color
monitors, a color printer, an electronic Polaroid slide producer, mouse and light pen.
After completion, Mr. Obertin applied for
a state grant through the Kenosha Unified
School District Board. The proposal listed
information about the system and projected
costs.
The Board then reviewed and accepted the
proposal. On August 26, 1986, the first computer-aided graphics lab in the Kenosha Unified School District became a part of the art
curriculum focusing on the photography
classes.
"The computer enhances individual instruction because it promotes direct teacher
and student interaction," emphasized Mr.
Obertin.
Instruction started with a basic lesson in
drawing on the computer with its peripherals,
or accessories. "We got to poke around with
the computer and experiment on our own
during the first few weeks," recalled junior
Eric Reiche.
"Dazzle Draw was easy to use and understand," stated senior Scott Carpenter.
This program aided students with onscreen graphics design and enabled them to
produce a paper print-out of their work. Used
in conjunction with the Polaroid Palette, a
photographic recorder of computer images,
the computer helped produce sharper reproductions of pencil designs.
Assignments for the photography class
soon entailed use of the computer to recreate
designs. The first assignment dealt with
translating shapes from pencil-and-paper
sketches to more detailed computer graphics.

"It was difficult to transfer designs fro

easier to fill and shade," stated senior Krist)
Piekos after her first project.
Additional assignments required the stu
dents to make designs using shapes such a.
circles and squares along with organic de
signs that recreated living organisms. Stu
dents received grades based upon fundamen
tal usage of the computer, imaginative think
ing and design skills and application of th
art elements such as color, lines, shapes an
texture.
Mr. Obertin emphasized that, "the com
puter is a creative tool that is becoming use
ful in many industries because it works wit
more speed and precision than humanly pos
sible." He hoped every photography student
realized, through his hands-on instruction
the importance of computer-aided design a
an artform of visual communication.

Focusing his attention toi+ards the screen, junior Brian
Schmidt moves a computer mouse along the table using
hand-eye coordination to create a design with color and

"The luncheon held for us was really special for me. Everyone had a nice time and
enjoyed himself," commented January Student of the Month in the Foreign Language
department, junior Shelly Pataska.
Rules allowed a student to be Student of
the Month more than once, but not in the
same department. Some students achieved
this honor more than once. Senior Paul Ruffolo, for example, was Student of the Month
in December for the Music department and
Student of the Month in January for the Art
department. Senior Dan Diederich, likewise,
was November Student of the Month in the
Social Studies department and December
Student of the Month in the Foreign Language department.
"I think the program is a good way to show
students who take an interest in a certain
subject that their efforts are recognized," remarked November Student of the Month in
the Foreign Language department, junior
Jenny Reiter.

Silence struck the small television editing

windows that led into the room. Suddenly,
the door flew open. Shouts of "It's finished"
and "We should get bonus points for being on
time" rang out.
The first edition of "Eye on Tremper" had
finally been completed on October 9. This
new weekly news program evolved under the
direction of Mrs. Sally Heideman, the Television Production instructor at Tremper.
She had had some experience at Lance
Junior High School in television production
and was hoping to start a comprehensive
news program at Tremper. Her intentions
blossomed, and the news program became a
part of the television class curriculum.
From the 48 students enrolled in the television production class, six groups formed.
Each group received two dates on which two
separate programs were to be ready for the
air.
Student responsibilities were varied during
the production of the news program. Each
student reported for the program as well as

served on the camera crew. Additionally,
some students were chosen to lead the others. These students became the producer, director or editor.
The news program covered topics suGh as
"Front Page News," "Club News," and "Uptrends," which reported almost all aspects of
student life. "Front Page News" unfolded the
mystery Homecoming Queen, naming the
queen on footage of the coronation ceremony. "Our coverage was outstanding," empasized senior editor Debbie Zampanti, admiring the crew's work capturing the occasion.
Segments concerning the Homecoming parade,-pep rally and coronation complimented
Craig Sucharda's narration of the assesmbly
and Homecoming football game.
Activities shined in the "Club News" portion of the program. Lori Meyer reported on
DECA and its members. During the report,
two DECA members, seniors John Serpe and
Lisa Carlson, cited upcoming events such as a
gift sale and motovational seminar.
Chris Moran followed with an interview of
Mr. Cooper, the Bible Club adviser, who described this years club as "the best group
ever."
The show rolled on with the rock-line/
movie scene portion of the program. In the
first show, Charles Schoepke followed with a
movie review. "I had to write, plan and give
my review which was real work," said
Schoepke. Crocodile Dundee received rave
reviews from Schoepke as he described the
high points of this 1986 hit movie.
"Uptrends" shed light upon the "trendy,
nowadays things going on at the time," according to Heideman. Craig Sucharda improvised a skit on the "doldrum" times between the fall harvest and the snows of winter. '"Uptrends' has potential for the future
because it covers things people enjoy watch-

ing," added Heideman.
Sporting activities came to life in the
"Sports Wrap" section of the program. Seniors Mike Cholak and Ken Rice wrote the
material and relayed the news for the second
show. The "Sports Wrap" stated scores and
highlights of the previous weeks' sporting
events and forecasted upcoming matches.
Individual students and faculty members
voiced opinions on controversial issues during
the "Face to Face" portion of the program.
In the third show, seniors Debbie Filippello,
Jill Brever and Linda Nephew interviewed
Principal Richard Regner. Principal Regner
gave his ruling on concert T-shirts, deciding
on his verdict after consulting with parents
and students. For a follow-up, they covered
the school board meeting during which this
topic was discussed.
At 5:05 p.m. on October 9, "Eye on
Tremper" first aired on cable channel 20, a
Kenosha Unified Schools cable channel. The
staff agreed with Craig Sucharda when he
said that the first edition "shined new light on

to view the different landscapes from state to
state.
They arrived on a Saturday and spent the
first weekend with their host families. On
that Monday, they officially started their visit
here with a potluck dinner at Tremper High
School.
During their three-and-a-half week stay in
Kenosha, they took tours of Old World Wisconsin, Johnson Wax and Jones Intercable.
Excursions to Milwaukee included visits to
the Domes, Public Museum and the Art Museum. Around Kenosha they had sailboat
rides on Lake Michigan and attended several
performances of the Lakeside Players. Chicago, Madison and Racine were other cities the
students had a chance to see.
"Compared to their somewhat small town,
the Germans were intrigued by the bright
lights, large shopping centers, and the total
excitement of Chicago," said junior host Jenny Todd.
"On our trip to Madison, we discovered
that the form of government is different from
the one we have in Germany. In Germany,
there is only one heuse of government in contrast to the two in Wisconsin," said Sven
Neubauer, a German student.
While staying here, two of the highlights
for the German students involved the Homecoming Dance and several of the Friday night
sock-hops. "The dances in Germany have to
be organized through private clubs that kids
join, and usually we have very few dances.
Instead we just go to the local disco," explained Dink Tratman, an exchange student.
The Germans also adjusted to school at
Tremper. In Germany, their classes are 45
minutes long, and each day they attend different classes. They are allowed to leave
school when they want, and are not required

to carry a pass when walking in the hallways.
In contrast to a German elective course, English is a course that all German students must
take.
On October 21, 1986, the exchange students left Kenosha at 6: 15 p.m. to depart for
their homeland .
"I looked forward to coming to Kenosha
and seeing if it looked like the cities in l 960's
movies. Kenosha was just like that in the
movies, but it was slightly smaller than I had
expected," said Auke Giffhorn, an exchange
student.
In July 1987, the students from Kenosha
taking German as a language will make a
return visit to 6ur sister city, Wolfenbuttel,
Germany. It will be the third consecutive exchange trip between the two cities.

COOP and Industrial Arts students venture
into business world through hands-on training
Get a job! Earn some money! Students constantly hear these phrases. During the school
year, many decided to do something about it,
in school.
"Partnership between businesses and
school is the key to success," remarked Ms.
Mary Anne Searle, coordinator of the Marketing Cooperative Education program. This
program, called COOP, linked students with
community employment through the Marketing class. COOP prepared workers for marketing occupations and educated students
about new marketing techniques.
The Business Education program entered
the business-school connection with the Cooperative Office Occupations Program.
"This program, also titled COOP, provided
students with real life work experiences in an
office environment," emphasized Ms. Caroli-

na Aiello, the coordinator of the COOP.
Prerequisites for both classes included
completing Marketing or Office Procedures I
as a junior, filing an application and having
an interview with the adviser. Once accepted, COOP students were placed into jobs
based on ability and experience. COOP instructors contacted past employers and new
businesses for positions for COOP members.
COOP students received one credit for inclass participation one hour per day and one
credit for afterschool work. Many left school
at 11 :30 a.m. to start their workday if they
had met the graduation credit requirements.
While on the job, COOP students were
evaluated by employers on personal appearance, job knowledge, quality and quantity of
work and maturity. "With evaluations, it's
easy to find out what I'm doing wrong and to
correct it," noted senior John Serpe.
Student trainees received a learner's wage,
usually the wage paid other entry-level employees doing similar work.
"Overall, I feel I am learning a great deal
about the department and office procedures," remembered American State Bank
employee, senior Beth Klauser.
COOP students applied their skills to actual job situations while they learned additional
skills not taught in the classroom.
While COOP members left school to work,
Industrial Arts students worked hard at
school to learn the ropes. Classes like Advanced Aviation, Architectural Drawing, Vocational Power Mech. and Woods II helped
students prepare for the job market.
"Students enrolled in my class learned to
actually draw and build a home," described
Mr. Greg Kitzmiller, Architectural Drawing
instructor. Students learned to draw complete architectural drawings of homes which

included plumbing, electrical and interior designs along with costs of building materials.
"I will be able to become a carpenter's apprentice or even a draftsman after high
school," remarked senior Brien Burroughs.
Advanced Aviation flew into the classroom
with flying colors. The course offered students the chance to learn to fly without assistance. For hands-on training, students paid
for a trip to the Kenosha Airport and had two
hours of instructed flight training.
"We took four different flights over the
area that gave me eight hours of instructed
flight time towards my pilots license," recalled junior Marc Stank.
In-class instruction included a review of
flight controls and an extensive session on the
avionics of flight.
Woods II instructor, Mr. Robert Baetz
stressed, "Using the project method, I taught
skills in using woodworking tools." Baetz
taught students to read blue prints and to
produce working drawings. Vocational projects gave students hands-on training with
various woodworking tools like jig saws and
planes.
Describing his year, senior Darren Mate)
said, "I learned to plan and build furniture
with all types of woods."
Vocational Power Mech students focused
on the internal combustion engine. Instruction included disassembly of an engine and
reassembly from scratch. "My training will
help me the next time my car fails," said
junior Brian Smith.
"My training in architecture will give me
an advantage when I look for a job," said
junior Krista Sikora. Through COOP and
Industrial Arts classes, students geared up
for the job market.

had terminated. Most students and faculty
members prepared for three months of late
slumber, extended sun worship and late night
excursions with friends. Art instructor Nicole
Teegarden, choral director Kurt Chalgren
and newspaper adviser Frank Falduto scheduled their summer vacation in different
paths.
Having earned the National Endowment
for the Humanities Scholarship, Falduto increased his knowledge of French Literature
at the University of Illinois in Chicago. Falduto, his wife and infant son resided at the
Blackstone Hotel in downtown Chicago as
part of the scholarship arrangement. The tenweek seminar from June to August accounted for three credits toward a doctoral degree
in education.
"Teaching for nine months, then reversing
roles and learning as a student for three
months widened horizons of communication
between my students and me," Falduto explained.
Traveling to New York with three fellow
art instructors from Wisconsin, Teegarden
studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Career opportunities, facilities and art
methods were discussed. The course reviewed
the elaborate and baroque techniques of Art

Studying at the school from where designers Calvin Klein and Norma Kamali graduated induced a feeling of self motivation that I

Mobility, in contrast, allowed artistic expression for Choral Director Kurt Chalgren.
He toured the U.S. and Canada to direct the
Kids from Wisconsin. This talented group
presented eleven instrumentalists and twentyone singers. Musical ensembles, dance choreography and song arrangement topped Chalgren's list of responsibilities. Routines such as

"The spectacular performances of the

Chalgren. "I love kids and am obsessed with

summer with many happy memories."
In state, out-of-state and touring throughout the country, these faculty members filled
their summer with a different twist.
As to the bend of Falduto's, Teegarden's
and Chalgren's return to the September

uest for excellence
Students cash in for prizes, awards in
contests open to students of all levels.
The lure of honors or prizes often sparked
students' initiative to compete in the academic arena. Here, though, no last second
basket or split-second touch in at swimmer's
electronic touch pad bathes the competitor in
victory. Time often separates the effort from
the academic award. Yet, 20 students savored sweet success.
Confirming another school week had started on March 2, Student Activities Director
Gary Paulauskas announced the results of the
past weekend's events over the P.A. system to
half attentive Trojans. "Congratulations to
senior Eric Baierl for winning six gold keys,
five blue ribbons and a Hallmark prize nomination in the Scholastic Art Competition
judged this past Sunday," announced Paulauskas.
Breaking the monotonous quiet of second
period journalism class, Baierl whispered to

himself, "Oh, my goodness." Unaware of the
judging that had taken place during the
weekend, Baierl said he felt shocked.
Two weeks prior, Baierl had submitted
eight art pieces to the Milwaukee Institute of
Art and Design for evaluation. To intensify
the life-like quality of his technique, Baierl
used a mixed media of colored pencils, charcoal and watercolor. Of the eight pieces, he
recalled one particular work which he favored. An antique doll borrowed from a
friend became the object of his creation. His
dedication to art paid off when the finished
piece, entitled "Nurse Julia" captured the
Hallmark Prize Nomination of $1000.
"It's not the money that mattered, but the
feeling that I had accomplished something
that made the work all worthwhile," added
Baierl.
Another opportunity to compete in art
popped up when Principal Richard Regner
announced the first year of the Teenager's
Rights and Constitution Art Contest. After
art instructor Nicolee Teegarden and Regner
evaluated the pieces submitted, winning
pieces hung in the showcase for display.
A $25 first place prize went to junior Mytyl Wilson on Feb. 23. To reflect the theme of
freedom, she depicted five Americans of
Caucasian, Indian, Negro and Oriental descent. Second place winner, junior Tony Williamson, drew an elementary student raising
his hand to answer a question in class with the
Statue of Liberty in the background.
In hopes of spurring students' enthusiasm
for American patriotism, Regner started the
contest after Cilento Photography's 2A-2B
assembly about American freedom.
Widening the door of competition in the
fine arts, the Drug Awareness Week Contest
challenged students to experiment with their
creativity. Entrants chose to submit a piece

the contest enticed them to become involved
in spurning drug use.
As a composition assignment in Mrs. Mary
Snyder's Composition 11 Hnrs. class, junior
Doug Simpson composed an essay which centralized around the theme of "There's no excuse for drug abuse."
After three weeks, a letter in the mail notified Simpson that he was the second place
winner of the contest. By that time, he had
completely forgotten about entering the contest.
"At the time the essay was due, I wrote the
composition strictly as an assignment," remarked Simpson. "I was surprised when I
read the letter which stated I was the second
place winner." Simpson and other winners
attended a recognition banquet at the Elks
Club on March 25.
Seniors Kevin Coughlin, Marie Boris and
Scott Yance dominated the radio announcements by capturing first, second and third
places respectively. Recognition for honorable mention went to junior Marsha Styles
and senior Debbie Zampanti.
Both eyes and ears responded to the first
place videotape skit produced by seniors Jill
Brever, Jim Slagoski and Michael Stoebe and
juniors Nancy !setts and Carolyn Lueck.
Each won $30 from the Greater Kenosha
Community Drug Awareness Committee.
The skit depicted the woes of a girl whose
boyfriend died in an automobile accident
while driving drunk. Jones Intercable aired
the video on cable television, and elementary
schools in the state watched the video.
"By showing a skit, we thought we could
get the message across more clearly how
drugs can ruin your life as well as the ones
you love," explained Stoebe.
On March 25, the Trojan Varsity #1 Math
Team comprised of seniors Dan Diederich,
Brian Helmke, Amy Mierta, John Murray;
juniors Theresa Wilkerson, Michelle Glynn;
sophomores Kurt Bloomer and Steve Thompson won the Big 9 Meet at South Division
High School. The team placed first out of 18
teams in the district. Of 162 participants,
Diederich ranked third.
Whether first place offered a cash prize or
a trip or special recognition, students entered
the academic arena and accepted no substitute for excellence.

Metallica T-shirt ban sparks conflict among
students, teachers and administrators
On October 24, 1986, Principal Richard
Regner announced that two T-shirts would
not be allowed at school. This ban of shirts
brought about a dispute between students
and administrators.
The two concert shirts that were in dispute
represented the rock group Metallica. One of
the T-shirts featured a skeleton in an electric
chair on the front and the words Kill Them
All on the back. The second shirt included
the words Damage Inc. and pictured two
spiked clubs through holes in a skull.
"I think that the T-shirts are a form of
artwork. If he bans the shirts, why doesn't he
ban different forms of artwork like Picasso,
which is mu.ch more distracting? I also understand why foul language on shirts can't be
worn, but if you don't want to see it, don't
look at it," remarked junior Troy Ockert.
Several students went to the Board of Education meeting on October 7 to protest the
ban initiated by Mr. Regner. The Board
members, not knowing much about the ban,
suggested that students try to work out a
compromise with administators. Board President Joan Haubrich also told students that if
they were not satisfied with the results of the
outcome, that students could return to the
Board for further definition of student rights
in the matter.
A committee of sixteen students, seven administators, and four parents met together
for two meetings to debate T-shirt issues.
The student members of the committee
were Antony Bruno, Derrick Bisiorek, BrianBurroughs, Tom Gawloski, Matt Goldberg,
Randy Hawkins, David Hensgen, Cyndi
Isetts, Damian Marhefka, Brian Mullen,
Dana Olson, Scott Papendotf, Trent Rausch,
Cameron Steenhagen, Tim Wermeling, and

Mytyl Wilson.
Student Activities Director Gary Paulaskas, Principal Richard Regner, Assistant
Principal James Marescalco, Assistant Principal Francis Oberpriller, Counselor Mary
Scharmach, Counselor Martha Horn, and
Counselor Andrew Fennema represented the
administrators and faculty.
The parents, Mrs. Rita Larson, Mrs. Donit
Robison, Mrs. Sharon Jimenez and Mrs.
Carm Huser, also offered input.
The first meeting took place on October 17
during second and third 'hour, and the second
meeting was on October 22 after school.
The three issues of debate covered shirts
displaying profanity, sex, drugs and/or alcohol; shirts and/or pants flaunting a ragged or
torn look; and shirts dipicting self-destruction, torture and violence.
During the meetings, the committee split
into small groups of at least one student, one
administrator /teacher, and one parent to
each group, and discussed the issues in question. Each person in the group expressed
opinions on the issue and wrote down comments to compare with the other groups.
After a half-hour, the small groups reassembled and reviewed recorded comments.
The committee as a whole decided that the
matter of profanity and sex being depicted on
a T-shirt should not be worn to school.
The question of drugs and alcohol required
more time. Any shirt depicting an alcohol
product was acceptable; however, those expressing the action of taking alcohol or drugs
were banned.
"I doubt that a T-shirt would be distracting in class; however, I do feel that a T-shirt
with vulgar language is annoying to students
who do not wish to see that kind of Ian-

guage," commented junior David Sunday.
The committee settled the issue of torn
clothing by declaring it was to be handled on
a one-to-one basis.
The last matter of dispute, also, reflected a
compromise. Self-destruction, torture and
violence frequently illustrated a musical
group's logo T-shirt. The committee excluded
these from censorship. However, the committee concurred that those shirts directly stating that an act of violence should be committed were to be rejected as classroom wear.
"Whether I decide to wear a tie or other
students decide to wear a concert shirt, that's
up to them, as long as they are learning in
school," remarked senior Damian Marhefka.
On Wednesday, October 22, the resolution
drafted by Senior Class President Damian
Marhefka ended the T-shirt debate. All the
members agreed on it, and the committee as a
whole adopted it.
"The resolution was a logical compromise.
While we didn't agree on everything, the
most important thing was they, the students,
had a say in the process. I'm proud of them,"
concluded Mr. Regner.

"The students having their
say was the greatest thing
that supported our rights."

rapping up the end
Final exams add finishing touches to
class days, 20 percent of semester grades
During the summer of 1986, the Kenosha
Unified school system adopted a final exam
schedule for all students. Commencing in the
fall semester, each teacher gave a two-hour
final exam for each class period. The finals
were comprehensive and covered the entire
semester's material, including both subjective
and objective questions. If a student failed to
take the exam, unless excused by the principal, he failed the course.
The semester final exam schedule came
into effect on January 21. First period lasted
from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. A 15-minute
break then separated first and second period
exam which lasted from 9:45 a.m. until 11 :45
a.m. At that time students were dismissed to
go home.
The students were not allowed to leave the
test site during the two-hour testing time.
The next day of finals followed the same
schedule with periods three and either four or
five depending on the students' lunch hours.
Then, periods six and seven tested on January
23.
"If the administration wants the tests to
make us ready for college, they should let us
leave when we're done. That's the way college
is," said senior Matt Goldberg.
Both Jelco and city buses ran as normally
scheduled for early morning pick-up and departed for homes at 11 :55 a.m. in order to bus
students home after the tests.
In a survey of 1058 students randomly selected by the administration, 88 percent indicated that the time duration was sufficient.

The yearbook also distributed a poll to 178
randomly selected students. Only 65 percent
responded that the time duration was sufficient. In regard to the amount of time needed
to correct the tests, 7 4 percent of teachers
responding to the administration's survey
said that the time allotted was adequate.
In response to the survey put out by the
administration, 51 percent of the students
agreed that the tests benefitted the student
body while the yearbook poll showed 58 percent. Thus, each survey backed the other as
to the positive aspects of finals. Thirty-three
percent, according to the yearbook poll,
marked that finals were worthwhile only if
that person was going to college or technical
school.
Although 35 percent of Trojans crammed
notes down the night before, all found that
there was no substitute for consistent studying.
A total of 66 percent of the students, in
response to the yearbook poll, thought that
tests exerted too much pressure on the stu-

The addition of new classes and added
equipment helped students decide on class
schedules.
"Because so many students and some parents requested the class, we decided it would
be a valuable addition to the math department," stated Mr. John Musser, teacher of
the first and only Honors Calculus class.
Enrollment reached the expected level of
two classes, each consisting of about 14 students, all seniors. "Although the class was
difficult, we had only a few students drop,"
recalled senior Dan Diederich.
Mr. Richard Regner, in cooperation with
the Math Department, picked Mr. Musser to

teach the class because of his previous work
instructing Math Analysis Honors. Although
he was the only Calculus teacher, Mr. Musser
often collaborated with teachers from Bradford and Parkside about any problems he
had.
"Our Calculus class is designed to cover
the same material that is taught during the
first semester of Calculus 221 at Parkside,"
said Mr. Musser. During the year, topics such
as derivatives, integration, transcendental
functions and hyperbolic functions were discussed. "Calculus built on the old concepts
that I learned in Math Analysis Honors,"
said senior Darryl Shampine.
"We had to have a car for each school or
we couldn't accept any," stated Mr. Damon
Weiss, describing the transactions between
Chevrolet and the Kenosha Unified School
District over the summer of 1986. In July, the

Class enrollment totals peak in Geometry Regular
and plummet to four in Advanced Physics Honors
To cut up in class and get away with it or to
snatch an easy credit topped some students
priority for choosing a schedule while other
students based choices on factors like special
interest, necessity of credits or teacher personality. Although enrollment soared in
classes with favorable factors, four classes
failed to reach total enrollment of 10 students.
Intro. to Art drew the highest enrollment
in the Art department. Three hundred twenty-five students enrolled to learn the basics of
drawing and computer art.
The Business department received 222 entrants into Accounting Regular. "My dad
told me that Accounting would be easy, but it
turned out to be my hardest class," said sophomore Brad Rush.
The running for densest population was
closest in the English department, but T.V.
Production came out on top with 103 entrants. "In the past, students signed up for
this class because of it's easy reputation, but
in the future they will know better. It's
work," said Mrs. Sally Heideman, T.V. Productions instructor, explaining a possible reason for the enrollment level.
Spanish 3 pulled 170 students into the Foreign Language department.

"I think that three-fourths of the students

they are surprised by the amount of work,"
commented instructor Mrs. Elizabeth Paintin
describing Foods for Singles high enrollment
level of 102 students.
The idea of making furniture lured many
students into registering for Woods 1 which
drew the Industrial Arts department highest
enrollment of 147 students.
Attracting nearly one-third of the entire
student body, Geometry Regular walked
away with the largest total enrollment for all
departments, including Math, with 588 new
students. "It's not an easy class. Students
enroll to either fulfill a math requirement or
meet requirements for college," said Mr.
Gerald Cooper, Geometry Regular instructor.
Giving Geometry Regular a run for the
record, World History Regular signed up 428
students for social studies requirements.
"Only real men can handle this course,"

The music department hosted several guest
directors, teachers, clinicians and choirs. Mr.
Robert Harris of Northwestern University
directed as guest conductor at the All City
Choir Festival in Febuary. During scheduled
classes, Mr. Harris worked with the A Cappela and Treble Clef choirs before the festival.
Two choreography clinicians separately
came to work with Rave Review. In April,
Mr. John Jacobson from Washington D.C.
made a visit, and in February Julie Weidner
from Kenosha related choreography to the
performance. Mr. Jacobson had worked as a
choreographer at Walt Disney World in Florida.
Several choirs from schools and universities performed in the auditorium. The concert choir from the University of WisconsinMadison directed by Mr. Robert Fountain
and the U.W.-Parkside choir directed by Mr.
Rob Campbell made appearances in March.
The U.W.-Plattville choir directed by Mr.
Gerald Darrow performed in October. The

Swinging Knights of Saint Norbert College

in March. In May, the Denfeld High School
concert and swing choirs directed by Mr.
John Blankeesh performed for the A Cappela
and Treble Clef choirs as an emphasis on new
te"._hniques such as phrasing.
"I really enjoyed listening to the U.W.
choirs. They were not only entertaining but
also educational. Their techniques and
sounds are something we can strive for, " said
junior David Kexel.
The Social Studies department also hosted
guest speakers. Mr. Saint Jiminez, in particular, chose this personalized approach to
American History and American Society. On
October 22 Mr. George Zimmer from the
Environmental Agency talked with Mr. Ji-

his familiarity in order to enforce the law.
Four speakers talked about society. Mr.
Leates Swopes, Principal of Lincoln Elementary School, spoke with students on March 11
about blacks and social problems involving
them. Later on March 24, Mr. Brett Brasher,
a drug and alcohol counselor at Crisis Intervention, conveyed to the students the dangers
of drug and alcohol abuse. Mr. Jim Farley

Katherine Osvat, Mr. Donald Bilski, Ms.
Barb Kluka, Ms. Beverly Jambois and Ms.
Suzanne Frye also made appearances in Mr.
Jimenez's classes during April to talk about

"The examples Mr. Brasher used to describe the dangers and effects of drugs and
alcohol really made me think twice about
using them," commented junior Steve Miller.
Other classes heard guests as well. The
band listened to the Wind Ensemble from the
U.W.Whitewater perform in the auditorium,
and Mr. Willis Schaefer from Hollywood,
California, directed the band before the

"The Badger Boys' Camp was a
once-in-a-lifetime experience
which benefited me greatly, and I
suggest that anyone who has the
chance accepts it," advised senior
John Steinbrink.
Steinbrink and seniors Darryl
Shampine and Tim Prince, from
the male population of the senior
class, attended the Badger Boys'
State, while senior Jackie Pileski
represented the girls. The Social
Studies department submitted a
ballot to the faculty who chose the
four seniors. Accepting the
chance, the trio of Badger Boys
caravaned to Ripon College in Ripon, Wisconsin, for the week of
June 14-26 while Pileski bused to
the U-W Madison campus for the
week of June 7-14.
Upon arrival to the Badger

State, the girls and boys were assigned to dorms on each of their
campuses. Badger State divided
dorms into county and city governments.
The week-long programs involved governmental activites
such as party caucuses, campaigns, elections and conventions.
Camp attenders chose delegates
to party caucuses, and political
parties formed. Nominations
identified candidates for the senate, assembly and all city offices.
For the next four days state
caucuses, conventions and elections filled state, city and county
positions. All the nominees campaigned with buttons and posters
sporting catchy logos, like Shampine's, "If you're looking for a
candidate, don't moan or whine,

just vote for Shampine."
Pileski survived the primaries
to the general election for senator
of District 6. After losing by a
mere three votes, she accepted appointment as senate messenger.
Members of Prince's county
elected him county athletic director, while Shampine served as city
director. Steinbrink claimed a position in the house of representatives.
For the boys, the day began
with a 6:30 a.m. wake-up call followed by breakfast. After breakfast and room inspection, Steinbrink, Shampine and Prince attended police administration,
leadership and electoral committee schools respectively. Following this, they wrapped up the
morning by meeting at city caucuses, party caucuses or state assemblies.
After lunch, the afternoon offered freetime, sports activities or
other extra-curricular.

To meet the December 19 deadline, Badger Boy Darryl Shampine guides junior
Julie Broesch to a perfect layout design .

In the evening, after dinner,
they listened to governmental officials speak. About Governor
Anthony Earl's speech, Shampine
said, "His atittuides against drugs
and alcohol abuse, along with his
belief in stricter drunk driving
laws, inspired a tremendous round
of applause from the crowd."
When the guest speaker finished
the evening's session, the boys
were free until the 10:30 p.m. curfew.

Pileski's schedule was essentially the same, although she passed
freetime listening to motivational
speakers, campaigning, visiting
the capitol building and the Governor's mansion, and shopping on
State street.
"I was amazed by the beauty of
the Senate room in the capitol
building where we met for our last
meeting before we left," said Pileski.
Despite the serious tone at the
camp, practical jokes crept their
way into the end-of-the week activities. After Friday's lunch,
Steinbrink strolled back to his
room while everyone laughed at
him as he passed. With a puzzled
look on his face, he opened his
door to see a large white egg
which was taped to the ceiling. It
sailed down and hit its target's
face right on the nose.
The week helped the participants in Badger Boys and Girls
State to grow individually and
form many new friendships.
"Badger Boys State taught me
how to interact with my peers to
reach a common goal such as an
elected office," concluded Prince.

Breaking from acti1ities, Badger Girl
Jackie Pileski and friends tour the Governer's mansion on June 10.

"Tim has really helped me with
my rebounds. When I'm upset, he
gives me a pat on the back and
talks to me about it, "expressed
second-grader Mark Olson whose
puppy brown eyes opened wide.
Senior Tim Prince, along with
six other Tremperites, made a
classic switch from student to
teacher after 3 p.m. during the
school year.
The skills taught ranged from
the competitive sports of gymnas-

tics, tennis and basketball, to the
romance languages of French and
Spanish.
Of the seven students interviewed, four seniors and three juniors, six of the seven earned
minimum wage to seven dollars
an hour for their services.
Senior Jane Daulo and junior
Cari Nichols, who both worked
for the Kenosha Unified District
#1 with the Flex program, taught
October through November in

1986 and February through April
in 1987. The Flex program taught
foreign languages in Sesame
Street manner to elementary students two hours a week.
Daulo, involved in Spanish for
five years in school classes and
two years in private lessons, explained, "There was a big challenge in teaching. I had to stick to
an ideal course content schedule
that the Flex program administered, but I needed to come up
with my own approach. No one
could tell me, 'Hey Miss Daulo,
these kids need to learn their colors today and their numbers tomorrow. 'I had to see that they
benefitted in an academic, yet fun
manner."
Five Tremperites succeeded in
the teaching of sports activities.
Prince coached basketball at
C.Y.C. for young boys between
the ages of seven and eight years.
His job ran during the months of
November through March.
Juniors Mary Kay Kleist and
Anne Bierzychudek tutored
young gymnasts at the Scamps
gym. Bierzychudek, a petite, active athlete, noted a memorable
moment, "There was a young
ponytailed girl with long, brown
eye lashes and dryer-fresh clothes
who was at first afraid to go on
the bars. After some time and
work, she now willingly goes on
the bars and does hip pullovers
and other new stunts. I can't help
but smile with her at the accomplishment. From time to time
she'll even shed a tear."
Seniors John Stoebe and Dave
Neumann conducted amateur

tennis classes for youngsters.
Stoebe taught at the Towne Club
and Neumann taught at the Kenosha Indoor Racquet Club.
A diversity of sources, such as
parents and former coaches, introduced the fundamental job to
the youths. The occupation inspired only Stoebe to possibly
continue the teaching as a part of
his future career.
Dealing with children required
patience. Neumann, a serious and
dedicated tennis coach, said, "I
was instructing a nine year old
boy named Chris. He was getting
a little wild, so I made a bet that
he couldn't hit a ball to me so
good that I couldn't return it to
him, but, he did. I ended up
buying him a Sprite, and that
calmed him down. All I needed
was a little common sense and patience."
The goal in teaching tots was to
get a response and to stimulate
some interest and feed back.
Kleist, a classic gymnast since
sixth grade, explained, "I love it
when you can see the determination in their eyes and their improvement shows."
Fatigue and the strenuous
hours topped all five sportsman's
lists of complaints, but personal
contact encouraged the growth of
young skills. Prince raved about
the job by concluding, "The advantages are great! I get the satisfaction of seeing my kids improve,
seeing them understand, meeting
other coaches who coach for the
same reasons and meeting all the
parents!"
And, he was the one who did
not even get paid!

"When my name came blaring
through the auditorium naming
me Kenosha's Junior Miss, my
first reaction was 'Wait, you've
made a mistake.' It was truly a
surprise because when Ed Stevens, the Master of Ceremonies,
named the runner up, I curiously
wondered who would win. It never
occurred to me that I was to be
announced next," explained senior Anne Marie Elowson.
Choral Director Kurt Chalgren
called Elowson's attention to the
Wisconsin Junior Miss Scholarship Program and urged her to
submit her entry. Expressing a
will to win and attending informational meetings, picture sessions
and rehearsals filled the schedules
of all the contestants.
Prior to the pageant in May of
1986, 13 contestants entered and
all gathered for two informational
meetings, which included photo

sessions for the program and costume fittings to dress up the physical fitness routine.
Three weeks prior to the pageant, on July 26, the girls began
practicing their physical fitness
routine at St. Paul's Lutheran
Church from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday.
As the Saturday night performance grew near, the nominees
polished up their poise and appearance routines and attended
luncheons at the Rotary Club
with the members and their wives.
They also ran through a dress rehearsal the night before the pageant.
Scholarship, poise and appearance, youth fitness, talent and interviews tallied up the points on
the judges' ballot.
In preparation for the talent
portion of the contest, Elowson
searched for a person to accompa-

ny her on the piano and prepared
slides of her artwork to compliment her act. After starring in
Tremper's 1986 musical "The
Boyfriend" she became at ease
singing and dancing on stage.
Elowson's unique talent idea dazzled the judges when she sang
"Cabaret"and projected slides of
her artwork to go along with the
lyrics of the song.
During the week of the state
pageant, Oct.19 through Oct.26,
volunteer families in Kenosha
hosted Elowson and contestants,
even though Elowson's own home
was nearly as close. By the rules,
the girls were restricted from
chatting on the phone, but messages flew on pencil and paper.
"This was difficult for me, especially since the pageant was
held in Kenosha. We rehearsed at
St. Joe's where I knew many people, and I could not even speak

with them. That part was awful
for the local girl" commented
Elowson.
Through the scholarship programs Elowson earned $900 for
her college education at Mt.
Mary College in Milwaukee. At
the local level judges awarded
Elowson a $500 check and a $100
savings bond, and for winning the
physical fitness scholarship at the
state level, she earned a $300
check, all to be used toward college funding .
While all candidates danced
the choreographed routine, judges
selected Elowson's performance
as the best at the state competition .
"All in all, it was a unique and
exciting experience, and I would
strongly urge junior girls with a
love of fun and friendship to join
the spirit of Junior Miss," concluded Elowson.

While posing for Kenosha News photographers at Bradford auditorium on July
26, 1986, senior Anne Marie Elowson displays her sash and roses .

Kenosha's 1986 Junior Miss, senior Anne
Marie Elowson flashes a proud smile for a

iological clocks unwind
Another weekend quickly faded
into unforgetable memories of
wild times spent with friends
wishing, "If only it were Friday
again!" Even going as far as compromising for a boring, lazy day,
Sunday was better than the approaching Monday.
However, since nothing could
turn back time, hitting the books
as a necessary last resort only deepened the school blues.
"The worst thing about Mondays is knowing that I have a
whole week of school to get
through before I can go out with
my friends and get a little crazy
again on the weekend. If I could
just make it through Mondays, I
figure the rest of the week will be

f Rock obsession tunes teens
Because he sports long straight,
black hair, mustache, and wears
faded blue jeans, Nike hightops
and an Iron Maiden T-shirt, some
might stereotype senior Dana Olson as a student who does not excel in anything.
Not only is Olson an honors
student but bass guitarist and a
rising star along with the other
members of his band. Drummer
Junior Lara, guitarist Cameron
Steenhagen, lead singer Rich
Hartnell, with Dave Hensgen
mixing 2000 watts of power, jam a
hard rock-heavy metal sound under the name, The Last Rites.

-

Although snacks, sleep, sports
practice, Love Connection or
Dating Game re-runs filled the
afternoon for many students,
these music loving individuals
rock their afternoons and nights
away practicing or writing music.
Spending so much time together can cause people to get on each
others' nerves. Senior Cameron
Steenhagen disagrees, "We don't
argue that much, but if we do it's
when we're writing because everyone has their own idea how the
song should be, like when and
where to put changes in the beat."
The Last Rites practice be-

tween writing new songs, practicing sets and free time. To discourage tardiness, they concocted a
penalty system, which consists of
a dollar into the band's fund for
every half hour late. That doubles
each half hour.
On March 1, 1987, The Last
Rites performed for the first time
at Rumors Bar and Lounge in
Racine. "Our first performance
was O.K., but I know it could
have been a lot better. It was our
first time in front of a crowd, and
we got a good response. That
made me feel good about the
band," commented senior Junior

Lara.
One other band introduced itself in the summer of 1986. Calling themselves Saykafida, drummer Bill Kiser, guitarist Tom Larsen, bass guitarist Keith Coleman
and lead singer Lee Hagopian debuted at graduation or end-ofthe-year private parties for negotiable fees.
Senior Bill Kiser stated, "The
band has enhanced my playing
with and getting along with other
people. To me, music is just the
greatest thing. I really can't totally explain how much it means to
me."
Being a new member of Saykafida goes beyond getting together
and practicing every once and
while. Recently, they entered
Renwood Studios on 60th Street.
To relate a wider audience, they
taped top 40 songs. Saykafida
rolled off "Amanda", by Boston,
"Spirit of the Radio", by Rush,
"Sunday Bloody Sunday", by U2
and "Roxanne" by the The Police. The tape was used as a demo
to solicit more gigs or bookings.
"We play what the people want
to hear, and we, as a band, play it
straight from the heart," said senior Lee Hagopian.
Senior Cameron Steenhagen
concluded, "Music and the band
have taught me how to take on a
lot of responsibility and spend
time wisely. Music has also given
me a lot of discipline, and it's kept
me away from drinking and drugs.
It's the best thing that's ever come
my way."

Preparinf! to make Saykafida 's first demo
tape, junior Tom Larsen waits as Renwood
Studio's owner adjusts the mic.

Last-minute bathroom stops
and quick searching for tickets
boggled the minds of four Trojans. They dragged hefty, overstuffed suitcases on the floor leading to the boarding gate. Excitement overpowered the nervousness of flying up, up and abroad.
These students gave their goodbyes to Kenosha and the United
States and their hellos to the emerald green isle of Ireland, the
freshly baked baguettes of
France, the menagerie of surrounding European countries and
even to the rice-covered land of
South Korea.
During the summer junior Jenny Todd and senior Jackie Pileski
toured all over Europe including
France, Luxemburg and Belgium. Junior Hether Hoffmann
explored the island of Ireland,
while junior Chung Choe visited
South Korea, the home of the
1988 Winter Olympics. These
trips focused on pleasure, excitement and a time of relaxation.
The students travelled abroad
with their families. Hoffmann,
though, vacationed with a boyfriend and his family. The trips
lasted from three weeks to a
month in the summer of 1986.
Pileski, Todd and Hoffmann
recognized that the teens' pace of
life was slower in contrast to the
fast-pace life of American youths.
The Irish and the English spent
most of their free time in pubs,
chatting about sports and other
concerns, since teens in Europe
consume alcohol legally. Cider
and ale were the limited drinks;
youths waited to drink other beverages at a later age.
Irish and English teens displayed public affection at a minimum. Young couples showed af-

fection on the streets by a mere
hand holding or arm in arm lock,
nothing more.
Choe of South Korean descent
recalled teen differences, "Most
of the kids did not have cars, so
they relied on the bus and train
system, which is well organized.
The country's small size allows
the kids to get from one place to.
another easily. As for alcohol,
drugs and smoking, they are
strictly controlled."
New discoveries and experiences filled the students' minds
during their respective trips. Language barriers brought confusion
to Hoffmann who discovered the
Irish's Gaelic language and Pileski who discovered the French
language mind boggling. Choe
also encountered trouble in relating to the South Korean vocabulary. Hoffmann's two, Choe's four
and Pileski's five years of Spanish
did not help out.
In France, Todd combatted the
language problem with her four
years of French.
Government differences were
noted when compared to the
United States. Choe emphasized
a particular difference, "The government has strict control over
the people, since a communist
country is only a few miles away.
Guards are stationed at the northern parts."
In addition, many parts of Ireland restricted tourists from entering because of the religious
controversy, Hoffmann pointed
out.
Trying to get accustomed to the
lack of water and crowded cities
provoked the most major dilemmas, next to Europe's warm pop
and no ice. Hoffmann commented, "It was difficult to get used to

no running water. I stayed in the
mountains with a middle-class
family on a farm. We often took
walks through the hills and by the
mountain streams. It was definitely a different way of life."
American influence impacted
most European countries and
South Korea. Foreign students
found it mandatory to talk English. Americanized fast food eateries grabbed a spot on many
street corners. When asked what
most Europeans listened to, the
response was American music.
Underneath the modernization,
several countries retained their
traditional ways. "In Yugoslavia I
saw old women working in the
fields and carrying large bales of
hay. They all seemed to wear old,
dark clothes also. It was bizarre;
there were no men to be seen,"
commented Todd.
Travelling abroad brought

about the experience of living in
different cultures and associating
with different people. Hoffmann
noted, "The people in Ireland
were really friendly to tourists.
Wherever I went, the Irish would
ask, 'Are you American? Are you
on holiday?' "
Todd added, "I found the Germans and the Austrians extremely
friendly, unlike the French that I
encountered. They were not willing to go out of their way to help
tourists."
In ea.ch of the youths' cases, vacation out of the U.S. made a
deep impression on their memories, but all agreed that America
and its freedom was unique from
all other cultures.
Vacationing in Paris, France, junior Jenny Todd, accompanied by her mother and
brother Steve, pose in the Hall of Mirrors
in the palace of Versailles.

"Doesn't that bloke look smart
in that jumper," my host sister
remarked to me with a strong accent upon my arrival for my exchange year in England. I was totally shocked at the way it sounded as if I were in a land where a
foreign language was spoken. For the first few days, my host
family had just as much trouble
understanding my American accent. Thus began my year in England.
The town I lived in, Thame, was
an old market town with a current
population of 10,000 and was located sixty miles northwest of
London, near Oxford. Although
the idea of a market town had
diminished in the past few years,
Tuesday was still set aside for
market. Men and women would
come with their straw baskets and
baby buggies to buy their fresh
produce.It was a very quaint
scene, reminiscent of the old days.

One of my favorite places to go
for shopping and pub crawling
was Oxford which was only a bus
ride away. Students were not allowed to get their licenses until
they were 18, so the bus was our
source of transportation. In and
around town we walked miles!
Adjusting to school life was
probably my biggest problem.
English schools meant academics,
period! The school I went to, Lord
Williams, was set up similar to a
college schedule. My classes differed every day. If students had
no classes, then students were allowed to leave school grounds.
There were basically no rules, but
we had to wear uniforms. Actually, this rule was scratched after
Easter. Our principal was referred
to as the headmaster ..
Assisting one of my host families during lambing time was one
of my more interesting experiences. It was often necessary to

bring a baby lamb into the house
and bottle feed it. The reason why
this was so common was because
the baby lamb's mother either
died or rejected it at birth, so it
was a good feeling to be of some
help to a helpless animal.
On weekends, I was taken on
excursions to see the surrounding
English countryside or famous
places such as Stratford-uponAvon, Hampton Court, Wales,
Bathe, the picturesque Cotswold
Hills, and London.
As an exchange student, my experience was unique because I
lived with seven families; whereas
most students lived with three.
This exposed me to many different lifestyles. I lived with a family
who owned a strawberry farm, another who owned sheep and show
horses and other families whose
parents had professions such as a
college professor, two accountants and school teachers.

Another parent was a veterinarian, and I would go to his office
on the weekends. I even got to
watch and also assist during some
surgery procedures.
During the year I learned much
procedures.
During the year I learned much
of the English tradition and culture. In England, everything is
made from scratch unlike American ready mixes, frozen pies and
vegetables. I especially liked the
traditional fruit cakes, scones and
various puddings. At 4 p.m. everyone stopped for tea and biscuits.
As I look back at my initial
homesickness and period of adjustment, it seems now like such a
small part of my year. I could never have guessed then what a
memorable year it would be for
me know.

While on tour of Windsor's Castle, host
sister Kendra Simpson and senior Courtney Benbow take time out to pose with the
guard on duty on January 12.
At 4 p.m., senior Courtney Benbow prepares tea and scones for host parent,
Heather Gibbons, and herself at a coffee
shop in England's Lake District.

Each year, Marescalco looked
especially forward to the interesting experiences of Pinball Expo
held in Chicago. Collectors from
all over the United States and five
from England gathered in November of 1985. The exhibition
offered opportunities to listen to
speakers, take tours of manufacturers or buy rare pieces that are
hard to find.
"The interesting group of individuals, numbering over 100 that
attended this Expo, were mainly
thirty to fifty-year-olds. Suprisingly, many were professional
men like lawyers, bankers, and
even a cardiac specialist played
the silver ball!" commented
Marescalco.
Marescalco not only knew how

to fix pinball machines, but he
also knew how to play them as
well. In November of 1986, the
Williams Company sponsored a
pinball tournament that consisted
of 50 competitors facing "PinBot," a brand new machine that
was not yet out on the market.
Getting three chances, Marescalco scored four million earning
him a comfortable position in
eighth place. The Williams Company a warded the winner of
1,87 5,000,000 the brand new model of "Pin-Bot."
"Pinball collectors are not few
in number. In fact, I subscribe to
three different newsletters and
magazines devoted to collectors
and hobbyists. The Who wouldn't
call me the 'Pinball Wizard,' but I
get a few replays along the way!"
concluded Marescalco jokingly.

~ - Pets nobody wants to pet
"I promise I'll feed him and if
he messes I'll clean up after him
and I'll take him for walks and pet
him and feed him and and and
Most teens in their younger
years begged their parents for a
puppy, kitten or hamster, but not
seniors Eric Andersen and Mark
Hervat. They chose reptiles as
their favorite pets, and in order to
keep them, they assured their
mothers that they would never
have to set eyes on these creatures
and that the snakes would not
grow "too big."
"When most kids came home
and wanted goldfish or hamsters,
I always asked for snakes, frogs or
turtles. My mom thought it was
'cute' for me to have frogs out in

the backyard, but she doesn't take
too kindly to having snakes in my
bedroom," said Hervat.
Their interest in reptiles, known
scientifically as herpetology,
started at an early age and has
continued on through the years.
"I've been interested in reptiles
for as long as I can remember. My
mom's theory on this is that when
my dad was in Vietnam he sent
home pictures of him holding
Burmese Pythons, which they
kept in the barricks to control the
rat population. I saw these pictures, and that's where my interest started. I think it was just in
my blood," explained Andersen.
Ever since the pair became
friends in ninth grade, they shared
their interest in reptiles. They

spent spare time looking for garter snakes, water snakes, frogs
and turtles in fields and swamps,
checking out local pet shops and
visiting area zoos.
"We caught a few garter snakes
together over the different summers and kept them at my house.
At one time we had three pregnant females. Within two weeks, I
had about 90 snakes in my room!
My mom just loved that! I ended
up letting most of them go, and
we fed the rest of them to Eric's
kingsnake," recalled Hervat.
While they did catch some of
their pets, they purchased the
more exotic species from pet
shops and snake breeders. Iguanas, a California kingsnake, Burmese pythons and corn snakes

topped the list of reptiles purchased from Pet World, Jim's
Aquarium or from Gary Casper,
the head of Vertebrate Zoology a
Milwaukee Public Museum.
By attending seminars such as
the Midwestern Herpetological
Seminar at Milwaukee County
Zoo on October 18, 1986, and the
11th International Herpetological
Symposium in Chicago from June
17-20, 1987, the two reptile buffs
increased their knowledge o
these animals while meeting new
snake lovers and enjoying different kinds of snakes.
The pair also joined two clubs
from which they received monthly
informational bulletins, the Wisconsin Herpetological Society
and the Chicago Herpetological
Society.
Through the knowledge they
had gained, the team managed to
make documented sightings of
snakes not normally found in this
area and reported these to the Department of Natural Resources.
"We found a fox snake shedding at a nearby gravel pit and
documented it by filling out a detailed report and sending the
shedding along with it for proof.
They're usually not found within a
25-mile radius from here," stated
Hervat.
While both reptile lovers
looked upon herpetology as an interesting pasttime and felt this
species made great pets, Andersen only made plans for a future
in this field.
"I plan to go to Stevens Point
to study biology and hopefully enter the field of herpetology. My
dream is to work in the reptile
department at the San Diego
Zoo," concluded Andersen.

'est la vie while In Belgium

Belgium
Charleroi
Sacre-Courre .. . trains ... beer
. . . french fries . . . the French
language . . . new people ...
What do these words and phrases
describe? This is the story of a
year of joy, sorrow, independence
and realization. The year during
which a Tremper junior went to
Charleroi , Belgiuim, as an exchange student. Now, eight
months later I would like to share
this experience.
First of all, the land of more
than 300 different types of beer
and the founder of "french" fries,
otherwise known as Belgium, is a
country less than one-third the
size of Wisconsin . This country is
situated in northern Europe between the North Sea, Holland,
West Germany, Luxembourge
and France. Even though it is
small, Belgium has a colorful history despite being divided and
torn apart during most of the
wars. The sad fact is that it still
remains separated . The northern
section of the country speaks
Flemish, the southern section
speaks French, and a tiny region
in the east speaks German. Therefore, even though the country is
governed by the same king, its
people are separated by the language and cultural differences.
I spent my year in the Frenchspeaking section of Belgium.
When I stepped off the plane on
August 23, in Brussels, I had no
idea what to expect. The friendly
people quickly welcomed me into
their homes and hearts.
The first obstacle was the language barrier. Anyone who takes
a foreign language knows the difficulty with spelling and grammar. Once a person is submerged
in the language, it becomes normal to be speaking French. Then,
before a person knows it, she
starts to forget English spellings.
Not only does the language become a part of everyday life, but
so does the culture and way of
thinking. Europe is a world in itself that dates back many centuries before the U.S. even existed.
Brick streets and sidewalks are
common, not to mention a build-

Belgium Exchange

ing from the 14th century. I can't
answer in one word the differences between the States and Belgium . There are too many differences. The teenagers are basically
the same though . They all listen to
rock music, go to the movies and
spread the latest gossip.
In the United States, school is
as much a social activity as it is a
learning institution. In my Belgium school, Sacri-Coiur, school
is school. A student goes to school
from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a
20-minute break at I 0: I 0 a.m .
and an hour-and-a-half lunch
break. The only sports activity is
gym class or volleyball during
lunch. There is one dance a year,
no yearbook, swimming pool,
track, newspaper, or Prom.
The school is a Catholic school
with over six priests as teachers,
and the principal is also a priest.
Therefore, is it strict? All junior
and senior students can order beer
in the school cafeteria, any student can smoke when not in the
building, and even teachers smoke
during class time.
Another major difference between the two schools is the
choice of classes and the teacherstudent relationship. The music,
art and industrial art classes do
not exist, and they laughed in my
face when I said we had Driver
Education at school. In Charleroi,
the schools have the basics of
math, science, French and foreign
languages. There is a lot of stress
on Greek and Latin courses. Also,
the student chooses the number of
hours he would like to have of
math and science each week.
Therefore, if he likes math he
takes seven hours a week and if he
dislike Physics he will take one
hour a week. The students are not
grouped by ability like we are.
The teacher-student relationship in Belgium is based on respect. The students may not enter
a classroom and sit down. They
enter and wait to be told to be
seated by the professor. The students must remain very formal
and polite with the teachers.
A few differences in the way of
life for a teenager in Belgium is

that a teen can't drive until he is
18, and there is not an enforced
drinking age. Therefore, a student
gets a ride or takes the bus or
train to get somewhere. Teens can
get an alcoholic drink in any bar
in town .
One of the highlights of my
year abroad was the senior class
trip to Italy. We rented a bus and
took off for a ten-day tour lead by
a 60-year-old priest. Needless to
say, we walked many kilometers.
Spending a year in a foreign

country can be very frightening,
but also a great experience. It is
what a person makes of it that
really counts. For me, it was a
year that I will always remember.
It's nice to know that I now have
two wonderful families and new
friends across both sides of the
Atlantic ocean.

The class of '88 squeezed under, over and around many obstacles from float building to prom.
. Lack of funding, spirit, and attendance ranked among the many
obstacles dodged.
The 15 to 20 juniors who finally
pooled their efforts the night before and day of the Homecoming
game, represented the class with a
third place float. At the house of
junior Belinda Berberich, the
class constructed and decorated
"En-Case the Eagles" with a pretend cage surrounding the Case

draped over the dance floor while
a six-foot knight guarded the entrance to the castle.
The new promenade procedure
enabled the entire audience to
view the couples closer. Couples
strolled across the stage, down a
ramp, through the audience and
exited out a rear door rather than
straight across the stage.
"I, along with other committee
chairs, found it difficult to drag
our friends to prom building to
join in the production. Not until
the night prior to prom and the
set-up day of prom did new faces
appear," said Publicity Chairman
Ellen Ventura.
According to Tara LadousaMason, Cafeteria Chairman, only
five to ten people showed up until

the last day when 85 showed up to
get out of school.
Through candy sales in November and late April, popcorn
sales during Christmas break and
the two junior class dances, the
class managed to earn a little over
$1,000 in fund raisers. N evertheless, approximately $2,300 was
spent on Prom, leaving the junior
class with more bills than ready
funds .
"It is going to take quite a bit of
pushing to put our money situation back on track if we plan to do
any sort of activities our senior
year. Hopefully, a couple of good
fundraisers could pull us back
up," stated Junior Class Representitive David Kexel.
Even before the Fall Pep Assembly on September 12, the class

of '88 chose the slogan "'88 is
great" to screen across junior
class T-shirts for the upcoming
events.
Later "The Red Scare; Seniors
Bloody Seniors" became the
theme for the juniors in the Powderpuff game on May 29. Bruised
shoulders and sore muscles fueled
the rivalry between seniors and
juniors to end in a tie 0-0.
"The competition was so intense that the entire team was out
for blood. We were not going to
let them get past us. That's how
we wanted to end the year proving
that the seniors weren't better
than we were," concluded Captain Denean Sturino.

mania strikes pupils
Fellow Tr;mperites classified
"punks" more by appearance
than by attitude. Approximately
15 to 20 punks, thus, twisted the
dress of the student body into a
new image.
Senior Mike Stoebe, sporting
blonde spikey hair shaved close to
the sides and toussled, silverish
white hair about four inches long
from the top to the middle of his
head, nodded down at his Cure
shirt and stated, "Some people
view me as strange and poor, as
though I didn't have enough money to buy 'normal' clothes, but
others actually think it's cool."
Senior Dan Kaley confirmed a
tolerant view, "It's their life. I'm
all for it."
In contrast, senior John Ruffalo commen~ed, "I refuse to acknowledge their presence because
attention is really what they want
from normal society."
Covered with a long black scarf
over her head and a dried salamander earring hanging along
with four others, junior Cyndi
Isetts said, "I think it's funny
when people give me a hard time
because of the way I look. It
shows that peole notice us and
that we're not just dull faces in
the crowd."
Judging a person by appearance led to labels like "freaks" or
"new wavers." People tended to
stereotype all punks because of
their taste in clothes. Sophomore
Todd Troha, whose green hair
emphasized his nickname
"Toad," said, "Many people automatically assume I use drugs because of the way I dress. That's

simply not true."
Wearing snug, holey jeans and
high-top Converse sneakers, senior Corey Sepanski brushed back
long, brown bangs toward his
crew-cut and stated, "If people
really sat down and talked to us, I
doubt there would be judgement
by appearance. It doesn't matter
what the person looks like or how
he dressed. As long as the person
has an honest, open mind, his
mind will get him farther than his
clothes ever will."
In response to those who held
that the punks' clothing reflected
poor grades, punks concluded not
so. The grades varied. Approximately four out of ten interviewed
maintained a B + to an A. Another four averaged a C + to a C-.
Over half of these punks took one
or more classes on the honors level. Two participated in the Academic Decathalon.
Stereotyping affected these individuals outside of school. Spikey, three-inch, jet-black strands
of hair stood on end, long bangs
hung over thick charcoal lined
eyes of junior Leslie Troha. She
explained, while crossing · her
long-john covered legs, "When I
went into Marshall Fields, a
mother looked at me and called
her young son to her. She gave me
a funny look."
As for getting a job, several
punks worked with the family or a
member of the family. Those
punks on their own found it hard
to get a job in the public-eye.
Others, though, found it easy.
With a strawberry blond mohawk,
an anti-Reagan T-shirt and black

combat boots, junior Shane Lassen said, "My employer at Banner
Buildings doesn't care about my
hair. In fact, she likes it. I have
known people who ,have gotten
fired because of their hair,
though."
What punks did for amusement
on the weekends aroused more
speculation. Yet, a little over a
fourth of seventeen usually attended school dances on Fridays.
Big Boy restaurant attracted a
dozen punks on nothing-better-todo nights. Many punks attended
private parties in Illinois or
Racine which occasionally featured thrash bands such as "Killer
Pigs From Hell" and "Charming
Deviance." Some danced at Medusa's or McGreevy's in Illinois.

A lingering question baffled
people who were not punk. Why?
What statement came out of each
punk toward society? Each punk
wanted to express individualism
by the way he dressed. Stoebe replied, "My appearance is just me.
If you dress totally punk, that
blows the whole concept of being
yourself." Sepanski stated, "I
guess you could say I dress punk
because punk is individualism."
To conclude things, Lassen
said, "Punk is an attitude not a
way of dress."

allege life challenges teens
"Tremper just ran out of
courses for me, I guess," senior
Brian Helmke remarked modestly. Having advanced from French
III to French Vin his junior year,
Helmke then ventured to Carthage College on Tuesdays and
Thursdays to study Introduction
to French Literature. "Relating
this class to Tremper, it is comparable to Comp. for College,"
Helmke noted.
Junior Brian Mullen also traveled to the college scene at UWParkside for Calculus. Despite the
fact that the administration added
the course to Tremper's curriculum in 1986, Mullen elected Calculus at college standards for
competitive reasons.
"It will put me ahead in college
because I'll have more classes under my belt than others will have
in the math field," commented
Mullen.
Shortage of time remained a
problem for Helmke, "I don't
have as much time as I had last
year, but it's worth it." Mullen,
also, scheduled his time to balance out social and academic
needs. However, homework
topped both high school scholars
priority lists.
"I've been known to stay home
doing six hours of Calculus at one
sitting, even though the teacher
never checks homework. My
grade is determined by five tests
and one final exam which is worth
20 to 40 percent of the total
grade," Mullen indicated.
Helmke's class enrolled only six
students, while Mullen's course
had about 30 students who did not
even suspect he was a high school

student. "People never knew I
also went to high school. I fit right
in so no one noticed . There were
people 30 to 40 years old!" Mullen explained.
The major difference in
Helmke's literature class remained the detail that Irene
Kraemer, the native French professor, instructed entirely in
French which made it more of a
challenge.
"Since it is a Lit. class, I get

assigned readings entirely in
French and I have to anaylize
them. To do this, you have to
think totally French," Helmke
stated. "This will increase my profiency and familiarity with the
language."
Both guys agreed that pressure
from parents was not a problem at
all. The college environment
placed little tension on the two
boys.
Mullen concluded, "The teach-

Helmke and Mullen proved
substitutes are accepted in classes
at the college level.

~ Juniors kick ultimate goal
""

w-

Soon after Tremper's varsity
soccer season had come to an end,
juniors Maurizio Silenzi and Brian Campagna packed up their
gear, but not to give it a rest. Instead, the soccer duo kicked and
bumped more intensely than ever
for Kenosha's Argentina Juniors,
Silenzi played center forward and
Campagna left-winger.
Even though other Argentina
Junior players' ages were nineteen
to twenty-one and opponents
ranged from twenty to thirty years
old, Silenzi and Campagna accepted the invitation from Frank
Tenuta, the founding coach.
Both Silenzi and Campagna
prepared for the team by kicking
goals for Tremper's soccer team
before-hand. "Tremper's coach,
Jerry Tobalsky, shaped me up in
the discipline area, so all the yelling really payed off in the end,"
admitted Campagna, who began
playing in a CYC league at age
seven.
Despite moving to Comunanza,
Italy, for half his sophomore year,
Silenzi continued to play his favorite sport. "In Italy, I played on
three teams under different age
groups but mostly with the undersixteen team. That brings me
back to the first time I played
with them, and I scored a goal
that won the game for us. I found
it exciting because that one goal
was my way of proving to the Italians that American soccer players
aren't so bad after all," recalled
Silenzi, who had been inspired as
a six-year-old by a soccer coach
from Rome, Italy.

nosha, he picked up right where
he left off by joining Tremper's
team once again in his junior year
and scoring fourteen goals that
season. Silenzi led the Trojans in
scoring.
Although Campagna competed
for Tremper's team three consecutive years, playing for the Ke-

nosha Lords in the Milwaukee
Journal State Tournament was
one game he will never forget.
"Winning that tournament meant
a lot to us, and knowing I assisted
the winning goal to junior John
Hoecherl couldn't have worked
out any better," said Campagna
modestly.

In preparation for games, Silenzi and Campagna practiced
with the Argentina Juniors three
times a week. The team played
weekly games in Highland Park,
Illinois. When the nine-week indoor season drew near an end, the
Argentina Juniors looked forward
to the Milwaukee Tournament
held at Soccer USA.
While soccer seasons, games
and tournaments quickly passed,
both Silenzi and Campagna intended to play the world's most
popular sport for as long as possible. The soccer duo expressed a
desire to play college soccer and
dreamed of a professional opportunity.

As be assists for Tremper on Oct. 9 in the
Bay View contest, center forward Maurizio Silenzi scores a point toward the win.

Demling four hours per week to practice,
junior Brian Campagna juggles the soccer
ball in the upper gym in preparation for
Argentina Juniors games.

:f hespians flood Lakeside
Christmas feeling vibrated in
the air of the timeworn Kemper
gym, the theater for the Lakeside
Players. Actors repeated lines
from their scripts night after
night, preparing for the production of A Christmas Carol.
In its fourth run at Lakeside, A
Christmas Carol rekindled the
Christmas spirit with its scenery.
An old-fashioned country home
decked with scarlet-bowed
wreaths, and Christmas trees ornamented the stage. Silver tinsel
suggested icicles on the corners of
the balcony, while an elaborately
carved piano dominated upstage.

A diversity of figures, scattered
in various poses throughout the
historically renovated gym, rehea.rsed their characterizations.
The Lakeside Players, a group
of amateur actors of all ages,
came together to rehearse and,
then, perform in their freetime.
Twelve Tremperites, ten juniors
and two seniors, spent numerous
off-school hours at Lakeside. The
number of years of involvement
ranged from one for junior Leeza
CJrover to seven for senior l\1ike
Stoebe at Lakeside.
Reasons students got involved
varied from individual to individ-

ual. Junior Rich Lel\1ay commented, "Lakeside is the next best
thing to being on Broadway!
There's excellent direction and all
the people are spontaneous, wonderful actors who help me with
my own acting."
Over the ·past year and a half,
Lel\1ay acted in two other Lakeside plays, Matchmaker and Gideon. He has performed in A
Christmas Carol for two years,
with two very contrasting roles,

one as the city rogue and the other
as a refined gentleman.
Surrounded by the ancient, mural-covered walls bearing Roman
men in boots and battles, junior
Nancy Isetts also commented
during a rehearsal, "In Lakeside
you get to learn about the whole
theater, like the lighting and setbuilding, not just acting. The people at Lakeside also have a more
cooperative attitude than in other
amateur groups."

Inspecting the sweets in her basket, junior
Carolyn Lueek depicts a townsfolk in

~ Sensations skate In
"Ice precision is different from
other figure skating competitions.
The· entire team is on the ice at
once, synchronizing circles, pinwheels and kicklines to music,"
defined sophomore Becky W erve.
Werve, sophomore Audra Holvick and junior Judy Roach competed on the Southport Sensations, Kenosha's ice precision
team, for the 1987 season. In four
contests through March 1, 1987,
the Sensations captured third,
fourth, fifth and sixth places in
the Southport Winter Invitational, the Glenview Invite, the
Highland Park Invitational and
the Niles Park Open respectively.
Ice Precision, a relatively new

•

sport on the Kenosha scene, was
not unlike the Ice Capades. The
event required individual skating
expertise and teamwork, as each
member of the team moved in
synchronization with the others to
form graceful manuevers in unison.
"One of our most impressive
manuevers, as well as our biggest
point-getter from the judges, is
our kickline," Werve stated.
Werve, Holvick and Roach
worked out with the rest of the
Sensations every Saturday for one
hour at the Kenosha County Ice
Arena. In addition to their regular practice, the Sensations frequently attended public skating

sessions during the week to work
on their individual skills.
As Roach explained, "Our
coach, Pam Hoyoss, encourages
us to walk through the steps at
home. Also, we have additional
practices in the weeks coming up
before the meet."
All three have been skating at
least since the age of eight; Werve
has been gliding since she was
five.
"To become a member of the
Sensations, you have to be asked
to become a team member. The
criteria is the quality of skating
that you've shown in past individual performances and private lessons," said Holvick.

As to what the future held, the
three skaters edged off in different directions. Roach thought
that she would hang up her skates
after this season, while Werve figured on staying for at least another year. Holvick envisioned
hopes of becoming a member of
the Ice Capades or some other
synchronization team.
The one thing that the three
Sensations did agree on was the
idea that skating facilitated meeting friends and new people. As
Roach concluded, "After almost
nine years of skating, I've met a
lot of people, and some of them,
like Becky and Audra, are like
family to me."

Soprano sings honors

"It was incredible! The actual
performance at the Madison Civic Center was one of the greatest
experiences of my life! The center
was filled to its capacity. There
were even people standing in the
aisles!" remembered junior Ami
Bouterse who sang soprano in the
1986 Wisconsin Honors Choir.
First, Bouterse sent in an application, and after selection, she auditioned in Waukesha, Wisconsin.
The audition consisted of singing
a piece from the Class A high
school list, sight-singing a song,
repeating two difficult musical
phrases, and vocalizing for range.
This type of audition originated in
1969 to identify excelled high
school singers for the Honors
Choir. The final choice limited
the choir to 100 singers from the
state.
For each section of basses, tenors, altos, and sopranos, 25 choristers harmonized at their first
meeting at Caroll College in
Waukesha on June 18. Singing

for three-and-a-half days, the
choir rehearsed extensively the
seven pieces of music. The halfday ended in a mini-concert performed for relatives and friends of
the choir.
"Although we sang the entire
day, the night was ours for free
time and fun. On the last night, a
variety show was held. The whole
camp went by pretty fast. After
the mini-concert, everyone exchanged hugs, knowing that four
months later would be the big reunion in Madison," explained
Bou terse.
On Oct. 29, the group reviewed
the music for the Oct. 30 finale.
That night, the choir gave their
concert at the Madison Civic
Center. The group crescendoed to
receive a standing ovation from
the nearly 4,000 listeners at the
center.
"The whole time through this,
Dr. Bev Henson, guest conductor
from Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas, kept

telling us that we were a professional group, and we would be
performing as professionals. 1
didn't really believe it until that
night at the Civic Center. It was,
by far, the best choir I've ever
sung in. All the people I met and
the music that was made will be
with me the rest of my life," commented Bouterse. "Every selection we performed was my favorite because each one differed in
certain ways. 'Come To Me, My
Love' sticks out in my mind as
being the most enjoyable to sing.
It gave me chills!"
Boutcrse was again selected on
Feb. 7 to perform with the 1987
Wisconsin Honors Choir.
''I'm really looking forward to
being in it again and making more
friends. It should be even more
special!" exclaimed Bouterse.

ophs face seniors
Working diligently night after
night at Adviser Damon Weiss's
house, the sophomore class
whipped up a number one Homecoming float to surpass the upperclassmen. The sophomores' "A
Case, Eagles vs. The Trojans"
proved they were not going to
stand for the usual sophomore
punishment.
"Even though in the beginning
of the week ony six sophomores
showed up, the last couple of days
15 students helped to construct
our float. It was neat to see the
juniors and seniors shocked reactions to our victory," stated sophomore class president Michelle
Stanich.
Sophomores also staged an unusual jump on fundraisers. The
class of 1989 amassed $104

through M&M, button and Tshirt sales and the sophomore
class dance on Dec. 12.
At the Fall Sport Assembly on
September 12, sophomores
showed their spirit to surprise the
rest of the school. "Although we
didn't win the first one we knew
that we would be in the running in
the next competition," said sophomore Barb Serpe.
Posters saying "Who Won
Float Building?" and "Devide and
Conquer" stirred heckling and
laughter over their inability to
spell correctly, not to mention the
misspelling of "sophomore" on
their dance posters.

on April 19, the sophomores
psyched up for their last chance to
steal the bell. They gathered their

"The class of 1989 deserved to
win the bell in all three pep assemblies, but it's too bad the judges
felt pity on the seniors and let
them have the bell. By the Spring
Sports Assembly the judges realized pity couldn't dominate over
the true winners," concluded
sophomore Cindy Brosch.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The information contained in this article was gathered in the
confidence of the persons interviewed.
Each of the names is a pseudonym for a
Tremper High School student.

"Looking back and remembering the pain I went through because of my father's drinking puts
tears in my eyes, but this time it's
with a smile on my face knowing
it's all in the past," said junior
Julie thankfully.
In the United States, between
nine and ten million adults remain
powerless over alcohol. Despite
being legal, C2HsOH, ethyl alcohol, affected the human body fatally like the illegal drugs cocaine,
heroin and crack. However, society's acceptance of alcohol consumption contributed to alcoholism.
Having a parent who had had a

drinking problem for twenty-five
years, Julie experienced a neverending nightmare. "At first it was
terribly hard. I was confused
about my father's actions, one
minute he'd be really nice to me,
and the next he would scream at
the top of his lungs for no reason,"
Julie commented.
Like most students, Julie frequently avoided her father. "I got
into the habit of staying in my
bedroom until he calmed down,
especially after he slammed me
against the wall when he was uncontrollably drunk. I knew that if
our family's situation was to ever
get better, my father would need
to seek the professional help he
definitely needed," said Julie.
Since two-thirds of alcohol victims were capable of recovering
according to Research Triangle

Institute in North Carolina, rehabilitation centers successfully
cured 60 percent of alcohol related cases. At the end of Julie's
sophmore year, her father committed himself for detox at Hazelton Drug and Rehabilitation Center. His drying out period succeeded completely.
"Finally, my father realized his
sickness and what it was doing to
our family. He decided to leave us
for three months to seek professional help at a rehabilitation hospital in northern Wisconsin. I became relieved, scared and excited
all at the same time," Julie said
laughing nervously.
With Alcoholics Anonymous
helping ten million alcoholics nationwide, Julie's father quickly
joined Alcoholics Anonymous for
support group counseling. AA of-

fers information about counseling
at 1-272-3084 and holds its headquarters at 238 West Wisconsin
A venue, Milwaukee.
"As the days passed for us, the
pressures became worse after his
return. You could obviously tell
that we were all terrified that he
would choose the bottle over us.
On the other hand, deep down inside I never lost faith in him. It
has been almost a year now, so at
least the hardest part is in the
past. We can now move happily
on with our lives," concluded Julie proudly.
Since alcohol was capable of
destroying family relationships,
students' concerns for alcoholic
parents caused the development
of associations like Ala teen located in Kenosha at 630 56th Street.
Through such groups, teenagers'
introvertedness and fears of discussing parents' drinking habits
decreased.
"Not just me, but everybody on
staff here at Tremper strongly
recommends that students who
have drinking parents and find it
hard to cope call Crisis Intervention at 657-7188; Crisis offers a
hot line 24 hours a day," said
Counselor Andrew Fennema.
"Teenagers, like me, who still
have to deal with the everyday
problems of parents who drink too
much are thankful for the counseling; coping with the situation is
a lot easier," added junior Lisa.
Finding a couch to pass out on instead ot
considering the family, this adult continues his daily routine after consuming one
bottle too many.

hooting for a higher goal
With 38 seconds left in the Silver Stick Tournament sophomore
Rob Ventura snatched the puck,
spun to the right, then decked his
opponent to the left and maneuvered to the goal. With resounding force, the stick cracked the
puck. The crowd roared as the
puck slid into the goal to complete
Ventura's hat-trick.
Ventura, the only Kenoshan on
the Chicago Spit Fire AAA hockey team for the past year, skated
to the number one scorer on the
team. The team grasped a top-five
position in the midwest with a 6-2
record.
To Ventura, the 10 to 12 hours
per week of practice were well
worth the 50-minute drive to Illinois. He played and practiced
four to six days a week at the Bubble and Lake Forest Rink at Lake
Forest College in Illinois. Ventura's parents spent about $3,000
yearly for equipment, tournaments, travel and team membership.
Ventura commented, "Hopefully, my efforts and all the money
invested will pay off when I am
able to play college hockey. After
college, I would like to get into
professional hockey with the Edmonton Oilers, because my favorite player is Wayne Gretsky."
He admitted that playing hockey deprived him of a full social
life and some school activities.
However, he still squeezed in time
to maintain a "B +" grade average. He did his homework as soon
as he arrived home from 3 p.m.
until 5:30 p.m., when it was time

to depart for practice.
Ventura passed the time during
the long drive, both to and from
Illinois, by either kicking back
while listening to the radio or
talking to his parents.
"When I finish practice, I'm
completely exhausted, hungry and
ready to hit the sack," stated Ventura.
His father introduced him to
the sport at the age of eight with
the intention of conditioning Ventura for bike racing. The muscles
used are the same in both sports,
so Ventura improved his biking
ability over the winter. Ventura,
ranked in the top five track racers
nationally at his age level, competed in the summer of 1986 in
Seattle, Washington.
Ventura spent most weekends
in tournament play, such as the
Silver Stick and Canadian Pee
Wee Invitational in which they
finished 15th and 6th internationally.
Traveling created pure excitement for Ventura. His favorite
trips included New York, Boston,
Toronto, Quebec and North Bay.
"It was a tremendous learning
process because I met people
from all over the world. For instance, we billeted players from
Alaska and Finland while the
tournaments were held in Chicago," concluded Ventura.
Winding up to crack a slapshot, sophomore Rob Ventura practices early on Saturday, Nov. 22 at the Kenosha County Ice
Arena for the upcoming North Bay Tournament over Thanksgiving vacation.

1vorce hurts teens most
Over 50 percent of all marriages in the United States ended
in divorce. Although it caused
stress between the two adults involved, divorce affected the children from the marriage even
more, from the teens' views.
At Tremper High School the
percentage of students living in
split-family situations proved considerably lower than the national

average. In a handout of 180
questionnaires, equally distributed among seniors, juniors and
sophomores, l 09 returning answers indicated that 33 percent of
those students polled resided in
divorced households. Thus, twothirds of the student body lived in
normal situations.
"I love my home situation. My
parents argue sometimes, but our

family gets along really well,"
commented senior Robin Pious.
However, once a divorce occurred, the big question arose:
What parent should I live with?
Legally allowed to choose at age
13, 74 percent of those students
from divorced homes lived with
their mothers, while approximately 23 percent resided with their
fathers. In one instance, an anon-

ymous student rejected both prospects of living with his mom or
dad; instead, he indicated on the
survey that he chose to live with
his grandparents.
After custody was decided, the
issue of visitation came into view.
Over 70 percent of the students
from split-homes did decide to see
the parent with whom they did not
live. On the other hand, 30 percent, either by choice or other circumstances, did not visit.
"I could never go see my dad
again. The memories of him when
he was in the family are bad
enough," said sophomore Beth
Syverson.
Yet another issue, remarriage,
was brought about by divorce.
Fifty-five percent of the students
polled indicated that their parents
remarried after the divorce. Of
these remarriages, 29 percent affected the student positively,
while 29 percent considered the
remarriage negative. Most of all,
however, 41 percent of the students were indifferent.
"It doesn't matter to me; my
step-dad is just another person
around the house," commented
junior Steve Busby.
Definitely, divorce caused negative reverberations among those
involved in the family. Often,
however, students coped by learning to accept any new family
members or adapting to a singlefamily home.
Discussing plans for a weekend football
game, senior step-brothers and best
friends Mike Syverson and Darryl Shampine show the pro aspects of remarriage.

ame names play games
Almost having to spend a day
in In-school Suspension, junior
David Kexel explained the confusion that happened between him
and his cousin, also a junior, Kevin Kexel, "The day that Kevin
decided to skip school I was home
sick, with an excused absence.
The attendance office mixed us
up so that the next day I found
out I was assigned to l.S.S. I
eventually solved the problem. I
did, although, feel bad for my
cousin."
Names commonly shared, such
as the top four, Johnson, Anderson, Ruffolo, Smith, caused distress more often than not.
Seniors Dan and Rob Ruffolo,
cousins, ran into a referral problem on Sept.15. They had the
same Business Data Class, but
Rob had it sixth hour and Dan
fourth . When Rob walked into
class, Mr. Kurt Glaeser sent him
to l 09 to pick up a referral. He
looked at the referral and noticed
that it was actually Dan's! After
convincing the secretary that he
was Rob and not his cousin Dan,
she sent him back to class.
"That was a really weird experience! Mr. Glaeser did apologize
for the mistaken identity, and I
accepted without telling anyone
about the situation," Rob Ruffolo
recalled.
"Rob thought the whole ordeal
was a joke, but no one saw me
laughing too hard!" remembered
Dan Ruffolo.

sophomore Ann M. Miller had

"Wendy and Nicole Gerlach,
the kids we babysat for, called me
Ann Miller and the other Miller,
Ann Michelle. I'm surprised they
didn't get confused and have
nightmares about it!" exclaimed
junior Miller.
Fellow juniors Heather R.
Johnson and Heather L. Johnson,
not only had the same first and
last name, but also the same
house number, 2704! They often
received each other's papers in
school and even each other's mail
at home.
On Aug. 30, Heather L. tanned
in Florida while Heather R. was
at a party.
"People kept telling me that
Heather L. was there. She told
me, herself, that she was going to
Florida before she left, so I didn't

believe anyone. Finally, I decided
to see for myself, and I ended up
running into the wrong Heather! I
knew I wasn't going crazy! I knew
she wasn't there!" said senior
Cheryl Perez
"Kids at school came up to me
the following Monday telling me I
was totally wild at a party I never
went to! I had to clear the rumors
up quick!" said Heather L.
"Amy Battershell" and "Ami
Bouterse" might not look alike,
but they certainly sound alike.
"Even after she moved, kids still
mixed us up this year. Geez, I'm
kinda glad that I don't have to
share my name anymore!"
laughed junior Bouterse.
From mixups in the mail to
mistaken identities, same names
brought double trouble!

Getting ready for the holidays, the two
Heather Johnsons trim the tree before going Christmas shopping together.

bJ reams flash for teen model

"Modeling is extremely tough
but if you have what it takes, it
becomes easier. It is not all the
'glamour' everyone thinks. It does
have ups and downs like any other
job," said sophomore Tonya
Hamilton.
At the age of 5, Hamilton started modeling with Wee Wendy
Fashion Shows, modeling for girls
aged 5 to 12. After reading many
books and magazines, Hamilton
convinced her family that she was
on her way to fulfilling her dream
of becoming a model.
In 1986, Hamilton won the first
runner-up title in the Most Prom-

ising in Wisconsin beauty contest.
Zakkiya Darby, Hamilton's manager, commented, "That particular contest along with the Midwest Fashion Trade Show in Chicago were Hamilton's most important recent modeling events."
Hamilton has appeared in two
Sears Roebuck Catalogs, the Chicago Tribune, and Fashionation
Ads.
"I did appear in a Levi's commercial once when I was 14, but I
don't make a big deal about it
since it is no longer aired. Three
girls and four guys all danced
around on a street in Chicago to

music we liked. The commercial
lasted about 40 seconds."
Besides being free-lance, Hamilton has agents such as John Casablancas. John Robert Powers,
and Click. These agencies contacted Hamilton when a company
asked her to model.
"About once every month I'm
asked to do a job. Actually I'm
available as often as a company
wants me," explained Hamilton.
"Hamilton's facial structure
and outgoing personality help her
stand out in this business. The
New York and Chicago look is
what she portrays with a sleek,

tall, accentuated, and sophisticated body. This type of look requires more make-up and high
fashion," added Darby.
Hamilton plans on ten years of
modeling after high school. Then
she wishes to branch into acting.
Hamilton concluded,"Modeling is a strict job with self-discipline. You have to know how and
do all the requirements for being
in tip-top condition, like bedtime,
rest, skin, health and body. If you
want something badly enough
dreams can come true. They did
for me!"

arate spells self-discipline
Sounds of "yes, sensei" penetrated the oriental draped walls of
the Kenosha Karate Club's dojo.
Men, women and children alike,
dressed in geis with multi-colored
belts, concentrated deeply on
kicks, punches and blocks. This
dojo served as a second home for
sophomore Keith Schuch, a black
belt student and teacher.
With a major influence from
his dad, a black belt instructor,
Schuch kicked off his karate
training at the young age of nine.
He worked out at the Black Belt
Karate Studio for two and a half
years.
He almost quit karate because
of the departure of his instructor
and his dad. His lack of patience
and immaturity also took part in
his desire to quit, according to
Schuch. Schuch took off from karate for six months while his father was obtaining his black belt.
In 1984 his dad opened up the
Kenosha Karate Club. Schuch
obtained his honorary black belt
at the age of 15 in August of
1986. He earned it by testing in
front of his father, instructor Red
Graham, and by defeating the
number three fighter in the U.S.,
Scorpion Berage.
Schuch started teaching karate
as a green belt when his dad was
in need of teachers. "I love teach-

ing kids because they are so young
and eager. It's hard at times to
teach older people because you
don't want them to look stupid
next to a younger person. I recommend that the teacher be at least
in high school, so the age gap isn't
so wide. The instructor should be
a green belt, for the sake of karate
knowledge and experience," said
Schuch.
Schuch instructed fellow Trojans Hether Hoffmann and
Heather Malzahn, brown belts;
Rob Siegal, yellow belt and Shannon Hamilton, green belt.
"It's hard to order or yell at a
friend you're teaching, but usually
they'll understand. It troubles me
during my work because I'll wonder if they'll be mad at me," commented Schuch.
Schuch, ranked seventh in the
Midwest Circuit, practiced and
taught five or six days a week,
each practice lasting one and a
half to two hours.
He competed at least once a
month in men's black belt, heavy
weight fighting and black belt
hardstyles forms and weapons.
His most memorable event occurred when he beat Berage in
1986 at the Midwest Tournament
Grand Championship in the men's
black belt division. He carried
away a $300 check and a three-

foot trophy.
Recalling the event with excitement in his dancing brown eyes,
Schuch said, "I didn't realize I
beat him until they raised my
hand. I was surprised. It brought
up my confidence for fighting."
Schuch won approximately 40
or 50 trophies through the years.
He competed in five other grand
championships besides the Midwest Circuit, including American
Karate Association, United
States Karate Association and
Martial Arts Karate Association.
Instead of winning trophies or
cash prizes at most tournaments,
points were earned. The more
points a person had, the higher
the ranking. If first place was taken in the Midwest, a gold ring was
earned.
Schuch's attitude towards karate was not always "gung-ho" in
the earlier part of his training. "I
was kicked out for a week because
of an attitude problem. It wasterrible and degrading. Many belts
have been taken away from students. The penalty is usually an
apology to the entire class. In karate there's no time to fool
around. Discipline is important,"
said Schuch.
In addition to learning discipline and karate maneuvers,
Schuch learned about the Japa-

nese culture and language. "In
learning karate we are taught the
specific Japanese names for kicks
and chops. It's fun and challenging to learn the language," concluded Schuch. He displayed its
difficulty by counting in Japanese.
Ending class, Schuch lined up
the students according to rank.
His head student, Hether Hoffmann, said the Japanese command for bowing, ketsukei re, and
Schuch dismissed the worn class.

Bearing the black obi or belt, sophomore
Keith Schuch whips out a front kick at

OUTRAGEOU
"My switch from a

job to spirit games
proved to me that
our high school life
can be made fun."
senior Mary Bursae

From the timeless events
of Homecoming and Graduation, 1986-87 hosted a
Classic Switch for those demanding variety and outrageousness after or during
school.
Summer splashed thrills
and chills at Six Flags or
"rough it" terrain up North.
Beach bums darkened bikini
tans on Lake Michigan's
shores and smothered warm
nights with main stage mania at the Summerfest
grounds in Milwaukee, despite adverse weather conditions.
Back to school in September, new dating duos
clasped hands in the halls
while others scoped out
their ideals. Heart-throb
breakups sizzled the gossip
lines as heavy relationships
flopped or distant dating
failed the test.
Practical jokesters struck
in any season. Just acting bizarre created those "you

just had to be there" situations with cut-ups and classic screw-ups.
With the holidays came
great escapes, if only to the
malls where the in-crowd
galavanted for garb.
To stash cash for escapes,
part-time jobs fit into busy
schedules. The Factory Outlet Mall rang in cash for approximately 50 Trojans,
while fast food restaurants
and Telegram Whams paid
bills for others.
Any way it was spent,
freetime was good-time on
Trojan hands. Whether taking a break for a 2A-2B assembly or breezing away on
a tropical cruise, Tremperites realized that there's no
substitute for fast times,
work time and that Classic
Switch from everyday
school.
With feet in air, seniors Angie
Ludowise and Marie Boris "get

Janelle Ebner at the Dance-a-thon.

long lines at

minutes for Triple Play or two
hours for The Eagle, breath-taking rides thrilled Tremperites.
As the temperature soared to
92 degrees, waiting lines for the
new hair-raiser, Splash Water
Falls, swelled to 90 minutes. Besides The Falls, The Loggers Run,
Yankee Clipper and White Water
Rampage ranked high among
cool attractions of the day.
Soaked students exiting these water-ride thrillers gushed onto the
midway before they plunged to
the next ride.

"The best times I had on
water rides were with a
massive group of friends.
The ride didn't make us
wet, it was the splashing
that completely
drenched us!"

In addition to water rides, roller coasters plummeted like other
stomach turners. The Demon
corkscrewed, and The American
Eagle dropped from a twenty-story height. "The huge drop along
with the big curves made me sick
to my stomach. I can't believe my
friends convinced me to ride," remembered junior Scott Winston.
Big bucks brought big thrills.
Per admission, $13.95 pinched
pocketbooks. However, many
teens purchased a season pass at
$29.95.
"Having a season pass really
came in handy. One time some
friends and I were so bored that
we went to Six Flags at 7 p.m. We
went on The Tidal Wave, The
Loggers Run, and Fiddlers Fling,
played some games, and even met
some terrific guys, so my pass was
really worth the money," concluded junior Ann Miller.
Twickets doubled the thrill for
the money. Ticket takers readmitted Twicket-holders the next dayfor free! "When you think about
it, if you go twice for 14 bucks, its
not that bad. Rides aren't my
thing though, I don't like to throw
up two days in a row!" said senior
Barb Krogh.

MAIN STAGE MANIA

Searching for something exciting to do over summer break instead of hitting the beach and
bumming around town, teens
cruised up to Milwaukee for Summerfest fun fromJune26 to July 6.
The concerts on Main Stage attracted most people, but the food
and smaller stages rounded out
the entertainment. By listening to
bands at the smaller stages and

chowing on an assortment of food,
students killed time before waiting in line for the first-come-firstserve seats of Main Stage.
Packed in shoulder-to-shoulder
on ground-level benches and rising bleachers, about 25,000
sweated out a few more hours before the tunes rocked the stands.
Tossing beach balls, doing the
wave, and connecting straws to

make chains that stretched for
yards linked the crowd for a one
massive party-atmosphere.
"After waiting in line two hours
and then three more at my seat,
the lead-in group, the R&B Cadets was a real let-down. I
thought they really stunk! But the
waiting was worth it once the BoDeans and Violent Femmt;s hit
the stage!" commented junior

Renaissance relaxation
Promptly at 10:30 a.m. under a
shimmering sun, the gates of King
Richard's Faire flung open to entice those ready to pursue an adventure with Renaissance flavor.
Jousting knights, damsels in distress and Lordes and Ladyes entertained faire-goers every Saturday and Sunday from July 4
through August 13.
Immediately, persistent beggars hovered about the faire-goers. These crazy paupers performed any feat for a few "farthings," the dimes and quarters
tossed to them. Sitting in garbage
cans eating discarded leftovers
and gargling mud made up a few
tricks of their trade. To the
amazement of viewers, the beggars would also dive and frolic in

the muddy paths.
These ragged beggars were just
the beginning of the chaotic merriment. Jugglers here, tightrope
walkers there, and scattered
booths for face painting or French
braiding hair lured customers
with the time and money.
"Selling eggrolls at the Faire
was a different type of summer
job, but it was fun. During my
break, I could walk around and
watch the beggars or jugglers in
action," said junior Tami Boyd.
Interspersed among this jumble, quaint shops with 17th century seasoning housed such delicacies as egg rolls, cinnamon
crisps, pasties, chocolate covered
fruit and sassafras rootbeer.
Boothes displayed sign titles like

King's Bakery, Jack's Bean Stalk
and Big John's Cookie Shop.
Faire-goers, including teens,
plopped down on theater benches
to enjoy the crowning of a king.
Lordes, Ladyes and peasants singing songs or enacting skits with
British humor scrambled to collect coins thrown in approval.
"When I went to the Faire, it
was totally different from what I
expected. Everything seemed so
authentic, especially the jousting
knights," recalled junior Doug
Simpson.
After watching a final parade
of Faire performers, the crowd
straggled out the gates to the balmy air and setting sun of a cooling
summer night.

When Main Stage billed groups
like Mr. Mister, Violent Femmes,
BoDeans and Night Ranger, the
crowds poured in. With music vibrating, students jammed nonstop through a concert.
"Once the music started, the
whole crowd went crazy. The Mr.
Mister concert gave me a chance
to be as wild as I wanted!" exclaimed senior Andy Callahan.
When rain clouds burst and
lightning crashed at the INXS
concert on July 6, the group had
to cancel. The crowd began to
chant "Hell no, we won't go!" and
refused to leave.
The cancellation failed to dampen the spirits of more than a
thousand rockers who stayed and
romped in the rain.
"I waited in line three hours to
see INXS. I was mad when they
cancelled, but my friends and I
had a blast running in the downpour and jumping in puddles. The
water was two feet deep in some
places. I really wanted to see the
concert, but I had fun anyway!"
recalled junior Anna Rohde.
Tremperites jumped into cars
to travel to Milwaukee's Summerfest and made a switch from their
usual summer scene.

~ater, Dude!
Julie, like many dating teens,
sat in disbelief, the lump in her
throat getting bigger and bigger,
as her sweetheart fumbled to find
the right words to explain. But,
the reasons just did not click. All
she could hear were the two words
that echoed loudly in her heart,
"It's over."
Actually, many reasons existed
as to why yesterday's heartthrob
is today's heartache, the classic
one being "I think we should date
around."
As if it wasn't bad enough that
that special someone wanted to
back out of a relationship the other felt perfectly happy in, he or
she had to add to it a desire to
date other people. Like peanut
butter to the roof of your mouth,
feelings of anger, jealousy and
self-doubt stuck right on to the
hurt and pain.
"When my girlfriend told me
that she thought we should see
other people, I thought I was going to die. To me, everything was

176

Dating

just great, but obviously I was the
only one who thought that," reflected a junior boy who chose to
remain anonymous.
Another common reason for
calling off the romance was, "We
just aren't right for each other."
With the intention so vague, how
could one be sure he or she didn't
do something wrong?
This question left teens wrestling with the dreaded if onlys. If
only I had been nicer to his/her
friends. If only I had caJled her
more often. If only I had Jost
those JO pounds I wanted to Jose.
When teens stopped to think,
what seemed to be a heartbreaking situation really was not that
bad. Sometimes, as soon as a few
days later, they moved right in for
the kill in the dating scene.
Before hitting the Homecoming Dance,
junior Dionne Jimenez gives senior Mike
Thome a quick trim on Oct. 4.
Reminiscing about their first date, senior
Sue Gregory and graduate Ron Zuehlsdorf wait for Soul Man at 9: 15 p.m.

Distant dating
Going against the norm, many
teens opted to date a "non-Trojan" member of the opposite sex.
Whether that certain someone
went to a different high school,
went to college, or was a working
graduate, Tremperites chose
these out-of-schoolers for many
reasons.
"Going out with someone from
Bradford has given me the chance
to meet many new people that I
would never have met otherwise,"
stated senior Kristine Rhey.
Some teens, however, found
this type of relationship to be
quite difficult. For example, deciding whose prom to go to was
sometimes harder than deciding
what to wear. Choosing between
the two sometimes caused hardships and hurt feelings between
mixed-school couples.
Another cause for teen heart
breaks was the away-from-home
relationship. Not being able to see
each other as often as wanted resulted in a fading romance.
For some Tremperites, though,
splitting time with friends and
school activities, and time with
that "special someone" proved to

be easier than expected, thanks to
the administration and guest
passes.
Affirmed junior Ellen Ventura,
"I usually get my boyfriend and
all his friends from Bradford
guest passes for our dances and he
does the same for me and my
friends. That way we can get to
know each other's schools better
and be with our friends and each
other at the same time."
Although those who dated
working graduates could not
make use of the guest pass
scheme, their relationships had its
own advantages. "Whenever I'm
short on cash or friends, my boyfriend swings by fifth hour and
takes me out to lunch," added
senior Cindy Platt.
Whether or not these crosstown, cross-state or sometimes
even cross-country relationships
actually worked out, most teens
felt them to be well worth the effort. They pointed out that if a
person really wanted something,
he has got to work for it, and "the
good things in life don't always
come easy!"

Couldn't care less

Teens scope out ideals
"Check out that chick, dude,
isn't she just totally ideal?"
"Yeah man, but. if only her
brown eyes were blue . . . then
she'd be gorgeous!"
"Yeah, but there's no way she'd
ever like us!"
"That's true, dude, we're not
exactly . . . "
From a quick gossip session at
the locker between classes to an
intense rap session in the Commons after school, teens scoped
the crowds for the ideal date.
But, what exactly were they looking for in that date? The Classic
conducted a survey of 180 students, sophomores, juniors and
seniors from basic, regular and
honors classses, in search of the
answer to this question.
Among the female boy-scouts,
the blue-eyed guy tallied up the
highest vote with 49 percent. Not
too far behind were the brown
eyes with 28 percent.
As for hair, 38 percent of the
girls surveyed indicated brown

hair to be their fav, while 28 percent preferred blond.
"I'm really not that picky when
it comes to choosing a date. Tall,
dark and handsome will do just
fine," kidded senior Courtney
Benbow.
In contrast, the ideal Vanna
White look of blond hair and blue
eyes appealed to 50 percent of the
guys surveyed, while brown hair
and brown eyes ranked second
with 27 percent and 24 percent
respectively.
The casual-dressed girl ranked
highest with 35 percent of the
guys, while the in-between look of
pants, blouses and sweaters ran a
close second with 31 percent.
Contrary to the female fling for
spending, designer clothes tallied
up a mere 19 percent of the votes.
As for the girls' taste in guys'
clothing, the results turned out
quite similar. Forty-seven percent
preferred the casual look of jeans,
t-shirts and sweats, while 31 percent favored the dressy look of

pants, shirts, polos and sweaters.
Despite the constant calorie
watch and the girls' well-known
complaint of "I'm so fat . . . I
need to lose weight," a whopping
64 percent of the guys indicated
that they are looking for a girl
with only an average figure . A
mere 26 percent opted for a slender one.
"I don't need a Christie Brinkley bod, as long as she's got some
brains in her head," commented
junior Brian Stone.
The girls, on the other body,
were a bit more picky. A desired
average body and a muscular bod
came close to tying, with 46 percent and 45 percent respectively.
When asked what they are
looking for in a relationship, guys
and girls responded quite similarly. The one-night stand pulled in a
surprising 12 percent of the male
vote and 19 percent of the female .
A few dates, just to have a good
time together, appealed to 28 percent of the guys and 31 percent of

the girls.
The most popular, however, for
those romantics-at-heart, was the
long-term relationship. Love conquered all as 57 percent of the
guys and 67 percent of the girls
responded with this answer.
"A lot of people think it's not
good to be tied down, but so far
it's worked fine for me," added
senior Ann Pflieger.
The favorite place to go on a
date was out for a movie and a
burger with 37 percent of the
girls. A romantic evening down by
the lake, preferably watching
those breath-taking submarine
races, appealed to only 26 percent
of the girls.
On the other hand, 31 percent
of the guys preferred to take their
date to a party or snuggle in for
home movies. Yet, those intense
submarine races did lure 27 percent of the guys surveyed.
Over and over, though, the
message was clear; it's not where
you're at, but who you're with.

In a state of confusion and upheaval, the seventh hour Power

Mark Hervat belted out "Happy

Although Smith's birthday was

with shiny red paper and a big

work and stared at Hervat.
"Even though I've heard about
his wild actions, I didn't realize
what it was like to be the target!"
exclaimed Smith.
Before the teacher, Mr. Robert
Simonitsch, realized what had
happened, Hervat took off like a
flash. Turning the corner, he discovered Vite and Peltier in hysterics on the stairs, unable to believe
Hervat actually carried out the
deed.
Little did Peltier know that she
would soon fall victim to the

178

"Happy Birthday Caper." On October 6, Peltier's birthday, a substitute replaced Mr. John
Schmidt in Composition for College class. ·Willing to take time
from lunch, Hervat seized the opportunity. "I knew Mr. Schmidt
would not Jet me get away with
it," said Hervat.
Approaching the unsuspecting
Mrs. Linda Larson, he requested
permission to take two minutes
from her fifth hour class to do a
singing telegram.
"Out of the corner of my eye I
saw someone flying through the
air. I knew it was Mark, but why?
As soon as he started singing and
dancing, I knew exactly what was
going on," Peltier recalled.
Thinking it more funny than
embarrassing, she could not help
turning as red as a beet. Once
again Hervat baffled everyone as
to precisely what was going down.
Hervat concluded, "I guess I
just like to make people laugh and
have fun at school, and if dancing
and singing to 'Happy Birthday'
does that, I guess I'll be doing it
more often, with permission, of
course!"

Outrageousness!
By goofing off in the halls and
going all out at after-school
events, students and their outrageousness guaranteed a laugh.
Dressing up in cheerleading
outfits and painted faces, offbeat
senior and junior guys rooted for
the football team during the
Homecoming game. Their zaniness scored laughter at the Oct. 4
game against Case.
Frequently, Tremperites executed their most outlandish feats
when they were Jess likely to be
noticed, or so they thought. Unseen viewers often received the
best laughs.
Acting totally out of character,
seniors Chris Wade, Kirk Gunhus
and Jon Euting limped down the
hall like zombies from the dead,
making weird noises and contorted faces to each other's amusement. This craziness continued
until they detected Mrs. Sandy
Jacoby observing them, trying to
contain her laughter.
However, other students exhibited their unorthodox nature
openly and repeatedly. "When

Margo Vite wobbled down the
hall like a chimpanzee, it struck
me as so hilarious that I just
cracked up!" commented senior
Kristine Rhey.
Laughter targeted other
sources for student entertainment. Students intercepted key
phrases from teachers such as
"can we focus?," "do notice" or
"in essence" and mocked seriousness as part of hall lingo.
"Sometimes I don't know
where teachers come up with
those weird sayings, maybe they
think they are intellectual or maybe even cool!" laughed junior Julie Trusky.
Students picked up hip expressions of their own. The walls vibrated with comments like "that
was real scary" or "ooh-wee
chil'!"
For some, no limit existed as to
what they would do for a little
reaction. Whatever students did
to kill their friends with laughter,
almost always you had to be
there!

Belting out a rerse of "Happy Birthday,"
senior Mark Hervat surprises senior Julie
Peltier in her fifth hour Composition for
College class on Oct. 6.

At the sports assembly, seniors Stacey
Stanich, Robb Cibrario, Darren McGonegle, Tim Prince, Kris Koprovic and junior
Kristy Flannery go wild together.

Cutting out for cut- ups

Laughing at an ice fight, juniors Jenny
Reiter and Lisa Taffora enjoy a Burger
King lunch fifth hour on Oct. 9.

Classic 2crew-U\'S
Students cracked up when unplanned screw-ups broke the formal atmosphere in class. Inevitably, you just had to be there
sparked spontaneous humor.
The shattered glass and spilled
experiments of Mr. Dennis
Glynn's first hour Advanced
Chemistry class triggered laughter and applause for every accident befalling the sometimes
clumsy chemistry students.
Broken beakers and crucibles
punched holes in the breakage
cards of juniors Stephanie
Schwartz and Laura Anderson.
During one class period as Principal Richard Regner observed the
class, Anderson opened her lab
drawer, bumping Schwartz, who
temporarily held a filter crucible.
The crucible crashed to the floor
and brought on snickers and
chuckles from all. Even Mr.

Regner could not conceal his
amusement.
"Laura and I laughed too, until
we found out a crucible costs $9!"
exclaimed Schwartz.
When not harassing one another about experimental mishaps, the lab students found other
targets to cut up on, such as their
goggles and lab coats.
"I was in such a hurry to leave
class once that I forgot to take my
goggles off! It came to my attention in the hall when John Walsh
yelled out 'Hey dude, you've got
your goggles on!' Everyone in the
hall stared at me!" claimed junior
Tim Petlock.
Embarrassing situations did not
strike chemistry students alone.
In other classes, students toppled
over in their desks or fell asleep
during a lecture only to wake up
with all eyes on them.

"Because I took a Contact dur:
ing lunch for my cold, I fell asleep
during a psychology lecture and
woke up only after the teacher
called on me," recalled senior
Dave Neumann.
Flubbing up on an oral report
or walking into the wrong classroom also doomed Tremperites.
"One day I walked into a crowded
room where I was told to deliver a
desk and said, 'OK, here is your
desk, where do you want it?' It
turned out to be the wrong room!
Now that was embarrassing!" admitted senior Eric Andersen.
Throughout the school day,
those classroom instances where
you just had to be there broke into
the monotony of the otherwise
academic form. Cracking up later
over the rehash of the screw-up
story softened the embarrassing
ordeal.

Cruising out to grab a bite to
eat, some juniors and seniors savored comic relief from an otherwise structured school day. These
students experienced one of those
situations where you had to be
there.
"I will never forget the time
Jenny Reiter, Stacy Goetz and I
stopped at Hungry Head during
fifth hour and ended up 49 cents
short. The check-out lady bellowed it out loud enough for everyone to hear. Jenny sacrificed
her Coke so we could pay the bill.
Everyone in the place gawked at
us as we walked to our seats. We
laughed so hard that we could
hardly eat lunch," recalled junior
Laura Jelinek.
Other students encountered
embarrassing moments, too. The
inevitable food and ice fights at
Hardee's entertained some students to the dismay of managers.
Locking keys in the car or accidentally leaving a friend behind
added a flash of panic for the victims and amusement for onlookers. Shoving as many people as
possible into one car doubled the
car capacity and the fun.
"I crammed eight friends into
my little Spirit once, and every
time we hit a bump, the bottom
scraped. Luckily, Burger King is
only a few blocks away, or I would
have come back with half a car
left!" laughed junior Gina Boyd.
The memories of occasions
when many Tremperites almost
failed in returning to school on
time still haunt them.
"When Bertha, my Camaro,
killed at Super America fifteen
minutes before the end of fifth
hour, I almost died! After we all
stopped cracking up, I decided to
get some help. After prying on the
hood for five minutes, a gas station attendant jump-started my
car. Then we realized we were
short cash, but luckily, Amy Ihlenfeld still had her mother's
VISA from shopping the day before. We scrambled through the
door with one minute to spare,"
reminisced junior Ami Bouterse,
still smiling.
Switching from sophomore
homeroom to open-hour lunch,
juniors and seniors swapped the
same old routines for once-in-ahigh-school-career humor.

for sports practices. Even so, 11

"It's pretty impossible to escape from school when you bring

•

For whom it may confuse
No more obvious reminder of
the frailty of the human condition
exists than the human memory.
Among worst things forgotten,
teens most often topped the lists
with their funny experiences.
"I couldn't believe it when I got
home and my mom asked me
where my 1:ar was. I really
couldn't remember! I almost died!
I dropped my car off at Tremper,
went to a basketball game at Park
with a friend, and then I got a ride
home. No big deal, right? One
problem- I forgot my car at
school!" revealed junior Brenda
Baumgarten with a giggle.
However, at the top of the list,
down-and-out adventures popped
up, too.
"One time I forgot to go to
school on a Friday because I
thought it was Saturday! When
the cartoons weren,.t on, I didn't
think much of it; but when my

mom started screaming at me,
duh- I knew something just wasn't
quite right," remembered senior
Kirstin Powell.
A T-shirt top bottomed out senior Craig Sucharda's day on Friday, March 13. Failing to remember to wear his Blood Drive Tshirt, Sucharda suffered through
the day with torment and heckling
from other Student Congress
members. And to top it off, he
was assigned additional clean-up
duties.
After realizing there was something wrong, students knew that
already-too-late feeling. That
sudden awkwardness or embarrassment hung in the air.
"I remember once I came out
of the facility and everyone was
kind of looking at me, like something was really funny or something. Come to find out, my zipper was down for two whole class

periods!" laughed sophomore Allan Johnson.
Other cases of memory-loss
caused a tightening in the chest
and a loss of breath. Junior Nancy Isetts experienced this feeling
during the drama production Our
Town. About half through the
play she skipped over a couple
lines and had to go back. "Al-

though the whole cast knew, the
audience never suspected a
thing," she said.
Adding an ironic twist, good or
bad, memory losses were always
remembered, but why?!

RAUNCHY REMINDERS COUNT BIG DAYS
When "lost" things could not
be found, chaos rose; students
then wished they had memories
like elephants. However, appalled
at the idea of looking like elephants, teens kept themselves
trim running from here to there
looking for these un-found items.
"I went from my house to
school at least 4 times one day
after school looking for my stupid
English paper. I put it in a place
where I knew I'd never forget, but
. . . I forgot! And where did I finally find it? In my English folder! Who would ever think of putting an English paper in an Eng182

Memo mania

lish folder? I might need someone
to remind me what my name is
pretty soon!" sarcastically stated
Michelle Gaal.
Not names, but dates compelled some students to drop hints
about big days coming up.
Whether for an anniversary for
going together or for the final unveiling of someone's un-braced
teeth, the countdowns continued
until the final day approached.
"I basically started about a
month before, I guess. I kept addin' in key phrases like 'just
twelve shopping days left' and
others always asked 'for what.'

Naturally, I then had to tell them
when my birthday was. After all,
they wanted to know when!" said
senior Arnie Quinn with a grin.
Sometimes, it was a case of not
wanting to do something when the
reminders echoed. Parents, it
seemed, stepped in to prod the
kids' already overloaded minds
and popped in a few forget-nots.
Reminders like "Billy, don't
forget to take out the garbage"
and "Jane, how are those college
applications coming along?"
sometimes drowned out the regulars like "don't fight with your sister" and "stop rocking back on

the chairs!"
Although a parental nudge
pushed procrastinators to "get in
gear" for term papers, reminders
from teens were often more humorous.
"'Hey, so-and-so, my car
doesn't run on fumes' is my best
line for people who leech rides.
Everybody in the car laughs, but
it also makes the point. It's not so
funny the next week when they
are walking home from school,"
said senior Julie Dickow.

EMO MANIA RULES FORGETFUL FRENZ

Great place for a stick up!
From remembering homework
assignments to picking up a few
groceries after school, teens found
themselves caught in memo mania. Trying to remember ordinary
things sometimes required out-ofthe-ordinary methods.
As a priority-one reminder,
taped fingers prompted the swim
team not to break the Major Code
Violation Section A, Number I of
the WIAA Athletic High School
Code of Conduct.
"Because of last year's little,
ahem . . . 'problem,' Coach Burmeister thought of putting tape on

our fingers so it would be the last
thing anyone saw before puttin'
down a brew on Friday night,"
explained senior Leon Sniegowski.
Hands, more commonly, bore
ink reminders. In an extreme case
of forgetfulness, Mr. Kurt Chalgren handled the problem in a
unique way. Instead of handing
out a note like other teachers,
Chalgren physically wrote on the
palms of students' hands!
"One time I forgot to bring in
my choir booster form and· I had
to go all day with black ink all

over my hand. Hey, there is
nothin' like holding your boyfriend's hand and givin' him a tatoo; I think next time I won't forget!" recalled senior Julie Beardsley with a laugh.
Other techniques that students
used for etching the crucial info
into their brains were using pocket date books and locker memo
pads.
"If I didn't have a pad in my
locker, I guess I'd be writing right
on the locker door because I can't
remember anything without writing it down!" explained junior

Dina DeHamer.
The adhesive-sheet note pad
sparked a new dimension in forget-not methods. "I swear I've got
about 50 million little sheets of
yellow paper stuck everywhere
around the house with reminders
written on them; but do I ever
read them? No, of course not!"
laughed senior Eric Andersen.
Whether it was tying a piece of
paper on a piece of string, or writing on the bottom of your shoe,
Tremperites found ways to recall
with the aid of "memo mania."

Reach out for tones

Because of the great end-of-the-year paper shortage, junior Jeff Cologna takes
advantage of the ol' pen-to-hand method
to remember his English exercises.

"No, she's not here right now.
Yes, I'll tell her you called ... no,
I don't know when she'll be back
.. . okay, bye!" concluded an exasperated teen's father as he hung
up the phone. He had just finished
taking the sixth phone message
for his eleventh grade daughter in
less than an hour.
Not only family members but
also answering machines and message pads relayed phone messages
to teens.
The answering machine
equipped families with accurate
message-taking, unless the caller
chose not to talk to a machine.
"Sometimes when my dad and I
come home all we hear are dialtones," stated senior John Murray.
Because they were pre-recorded, answering machines were unable to inform the caller of any
specific information. As a result,
owners left funny messages for
their fans .
"Damian Marhefka always
leaves out-of-the ordinary messages on his machine. To keep up
with him, one day I called him
from school and read him the daily announcements and another
time I sang Jingle Bells in
French!" laughed senior Helen
Stankus.
Teens strained their eyes to deceipher messages scrawled on a

piece of paper while others penciled in messages for absent parents. Always striving to do things
with minimal effort, teens copped
out by checking the appropriate
box on a message pad. These note
pads did contribute their share of
problems.
"We have a message pad next
to the phone in our kitchen. Once
I wrote an important message, in
a hurry, for my dad. When I gave
it to him, he knew it was important because I had checked urgent, but neither of us could read
the rest of it! I thought he was
going to kill me!" exclaimed sophomore Jim Roiniotis.
Family members could usually
be considered reliable, but they
sometimes did not like taking other people's messages.
"Our phone rfngs off the hook
some nights. My parents get sick
of taking my messages. Once my
mom answered the phone 'Tami's
answering service.' I was so embarrassed, I could have died!" explained junior Tami Boyd.
Each evening the familiar jingle interrupted family activities
and left moms and dads feeling
like carrier-pigeons delivering
messages to teens. No wonder
when asked how they feel about
phone messages, many parents reply, "It's for the birds!"

"I .. . um .... well .. . we got
a . . . a flat tire, yeah, that's it-we
got a flat tire!"
Knowing the bell had already
rung, students attempted to be sly
and slip into their seats without
teacher contact. When this did
not work, some quickly rattled off
an excuse that they had practiced
all the way from the car. Others,
not so prepared, had to do a quick
improptu.
"I overslept" and "my car
wouldn't start" often excused tardiness to first hour, but excuses
for after-lunch classes seemed a
bit more colorful.
"There was a long line at
McDonalds and by the time we
got our food we had like five minutes left. Then, on the way to

school my car broke down about a
block away from school. I'm serious!' I cannot tell you how many
times I heard that line," laughed
fourth hour attendance aide Lori
Meyer.
As the end of the year neared
and summer weather bloomed,
Trojans were more eager to
search for an excuse to lay on
teachers. Whether the story was
true or not was the teachers' biggest challenge. The students'
question was "Will she believe
me, or is it another trip to 109?"
Despite the need for fabricated
excuses, students were eager to
escape from the hard-working atmosphere of school into the funin-the-sun weather.

While boring lectures and films
stretched through the humdrum
of sixth hour, teens invented ways
to keep heavy eyelids from closing.
The teacher's monotonous
drone often kept brain wizards'
pencils pushing, trying to grasp
down on paper every word the
teacher breathed. Others also
took to the pencil by artistically
scribbling designs on an empty
notebook paper or the desk,
whichever was more convenient.
Those without a pencil in hand
passed time by using the class as a
beauty session. Some painted
their nails "Silver-Screen Pink"
and applied "Mauve- On the
Rocks" to their lips or "BabyBlue" eye liner. Others chose to
freshen the room with lavishly
sprayed Giorgio.

As for the window-watchers,
staring out the window with eyes
following moving cars and people
passed the time.
Some, however, did succumb,
sleeping the lecture away only to
wake with red streaks on their
hands and faces.
A boring lecture made a nice
study hall for those who had

homework or wanted to scribble
notes to a friend in order to catch
up on the latest gossip.
While the teacher completed
the lesson for the day, students
accomplished their list of things
to be done without a suspicious
eye from the instructor.
Sunhing through another lengthy lecture, junior Denean Sturino paints her

COOL Conjuring
Strutting through the hall in
medal-covered lettermen's jackets
and hip black leather, the
thought of being cool ran through
the minds of those awesome
"wanna-he's."
Jocks buzzed their hair to a spi-

key crew, while metalers grew-out
their coiffures to a below-theshoulder length.
Slipping on the dyed denims
and carrying the Gucci gear was
the tres chic way to display the
cool-cat image. Femmes peeled

Those rad rebels beneath the

Attempting to be a rad individual required few specific rules in

The social aspect of the mall
attracted Tremperites to apply.

about the mall is the pushy customers," explained Goldberg.

Attracting a variety of shoppers
from the Milwaukee and Chicago
areas, the Outlet Mall's problems
extend beyond the limits of the
stores. "What irritates me the
most is trying to find a parking

and misparked cars, I am too
tense to want to work!" stated
Gill.

of fast-food work. Roughly 20
students held down jobs at Burger
Kings and 33 at McDonalds within the city limits.
Other Tremperites such as
Robb Cibrario and Jon Euting decided against the hustle-bustle
and behind-the-grill steam. Instead, they spent their part-time
hours at Heydens Meat Market.
"I never do the same thing, like
shelve books at a library or pump
gas at a station. Some days I deliver meat, yet other days I just
put egg salad on the shelf," said
Cibrario.
So-Fro also served as a popular
part-time job. Nine students set
up displays, stocked merchandise
and cut fabric at the store.
"Working is a must if I want to
have the things I enjoy," said junior Trish Tinnen, who was employed at K-Mart and Videoland.
Tinnen, like so many students,

Jobs worked into the weekly
routines of almost two-thirds of
Tremper's students. Based on a
survey of 180 students representing honors, regular and basic
classes from each grade, approximately 63% of the student body
held a part-time job.
"The working part is sometimes
a real bummer, but when the

Dressing up as Cluck the Wonder Chicken, Dr. Goober the Gorilla, the Knight in Shining Armor
or Cupid led senior Dan Kaley to
Wham-Barn fun and big bucks.
Kaley put in his out-of-school
hours working for the Chicagobased Wham-Barn Singing Telegram.
Fifteen to 30-minute acts included dancing, singing and acting. Working as an entertainer
consumed 3 to 4 hours of Kaley's
weekend nights. He took his bows
for $18 per act and picked up an
extra $2 to $20 in tips.
This out-of-the-ordinary messenger sparked roars of laughter
from a gathering crowd and a red
face on the surprised subject.
"After one of the musicals, at
Carl's Restaurant, a belly dancer
came for Mr. Chalgren and Mr.
Terrain. She made all the guys

stand in a line and shake their
bellies; everyone was in tears they
were laughing so hard," said junior Janelle Ebner.
A singing telegram not only entertained an audience, but also
put a smile on the performer's
face.
"Each costume lets me take on
a new personality and say or do
anything I want. Once, while I
was in my knight costume, in the
parking lot of Gerhardt's restaurant a policeman pulled up. He
asked me what I thought I was
doing, and I replied that my horse
got lost in a time tunnel," chuckled Kaley.
According to Kaley, a singing
telegram man with his charming
lyrics and outrageous costumes
added some life to any party that
otherwise was a "dive."

what's in

anana clips, bows, boutiques
Cascading the
halls with
different
styles, hair
dominated
teens who grasped that "new"
look. To attain this perspective,
teens caught-the-wave with new
fads.
Used first among cheerleaders
and pom-pon squads to keep
bouncing hair under control, peppy ponytails propelled everyone to
tie up to the look.
"When I get up late, its so
wonderful to be able to whip my
hair into a ponytail and still be
fashionable," commented senior
Julie Kuryanowicz.
Along with ponytails, banana
clips pulled hair up off the shoulders in a trendy way.
"I'm glad someone invented ba-

nana clips because now I can put
my hair up even though it is not
long enough to put in a ponytail,"
aid junior Michelle Stanczak.
Bringing back a more Victorian
look, teen girls touched up the offthe-shoulder-look by clipping
matching bows in their hair. From
tafetta to leather, the large bows
crowned a colorful, prim look for
hair acce orie .
Ranging from prices of $1.29
for a banana clip at Fashionation
in Racine or $.69 at Walgreens in
Kenosha, to two bows for $12 at
The Limited in Regency Mali,
hair trimmers topped off the new
"do" at an affordable price.
While shaved-sides and crewcuts still updated the male look,
wrestlers and swimmers paraded
hair styles that went a step further.
To flaunt Tremper spirit, five

Trojans from the wresling team
shaved T's in the sides of their
heads and painted them red and
blue before each meet starting
from the week of Nov. 25.
Soon after, the guys' swim team
caught the spirit fever and before
the Sectionals meet, the swimmers haved T's not only in sideburns, but everywhere, including
Damian Marhefka's calves.
"Being the only undefeated
team, we wanted to psych the other teams out by showing who we
were and that we had a whole lot
of team spirit. The T's were intimidating to other teams, especially since our whole team had
them," said junior Mike Camosy.
Crazed with the fashionable
"in" label, Tremperites decorated
their hair with bows and clips or
razored T's to the sides of their
heads to be a cut above.

"Grab a bite to eat" clearly sigaled burgers and fries while "Go

Restaurants already packed

r Jost even teens' cash.

"One time about eleven of my
friends and I went to Villa de
Carlo on a Friday night. They
were so packed they had to seat us
in the banquet room downstairs
all by ourselves. It really didn't
bother us at all, because for
$39.75 for the check we had a
whole room to ouselves and an
even better time," recalled junior
Lisa Krebs.
Luigi's, Pizza Hut and Villa de
Carlo ranked among the hot spots
for teen dinner outings. By ordering a $2.25 pitcher of Coke and a
large ten topping deep pan pizza
for $14.49 at Pizza Hut, students
all chipped in for an inexpensive
zesty bite.
Among those savoring a Mexican dinner, Chi Chi's appeased
the spicy appetites of other Tro-

jans. It enticed teens by offering
more than just an ordinary dinner.
Embarrassment and laughter exploded as suave Mexican dressed
waitors flocked from all directions and knelt around a birthday
girl or guy.
"We went to Chi Chi's with my
friends for dinner on my birthday.
I didn't even know my friends told
the waitors it was my birthday,
but all of a sudden all these waitors belted out 'You're too good
to be true' while one waitor seated
me on his lap. Then they placed a
huge fried ice cream sunday in
front of me. It was a riot!" recalled junior Amy lglenfeld.
Tremperites often made dinner

to a dance, game or other event.

watching Mr. Belvidere on channel seven at 7:00 p.m. or Webster
at 7:30, students opted to start socializing earlier.
"Since most things don't start
hopping until 7:30, 8 o'clock, I
usually end up being all ready and
sitting in front of the tube watching some dumb show, twittling my
thumbs. Lately though we solved
that problem by going to eat dinner at Big Boy around 5:30 and
then we go to the game and
dance," said junior Nikki Liberacki.
Liberacki, like many other students, chose a dinner outing, satisfying both an urge for excitement
md a growling stomach.

Savin' in style
Wanting the "in" styles but not
the prices that tag along, students
ventured into the outlet world.
Tremperites lugged bundles of
packages filled with the latest
fashions from malls, boutiques
and the latest outlet stores.
l.D. Fashions, Generra, Esprit,
Union Bay, Guess and Izod
dressed up the atmosphere of the
halls. While the Factory Outlet
Centre offered these styles at reduced prices, specialty designers
such as Liz Claiborne and Gucci
still dug deep holes in shallow
pockets.
"I love to wear stylish clothes,
but I can't afford to pay $80 for
an Esprit sweater," commented
senior Amy Riese.
Casual Male, Fashion Flair and
L.A. Lifestyles at the Factory
Outlet Centre supplied students
with the chance to get more for
their money. Long, flannel oxfords with rolled-up, wild patterned, one-size fits all trousers
filled racks at L.A. Lifestyles and
clothed the backs of numerous
Tremper teens. Generra and
Union Bay found at Casual Male
struck the eye and even saved students part of their pay check.
"Now that we have the Outlet
Centre nearby, I don't mind trav-

eling the extra 15 minutes to get
the cheaper price," stated junior
Janelle Ebner.
Izod filled Fashion Flair with
sweaters, sweats and accesories.
As the store became. well-known,
Lacoste twined students at all the
unexpected times.
"I came to school wearing my
Lacoste sweatshirt only to find
out that three other people had
the exact same one on," said
sophomore Jenny Allis.
The Ralph Lauren Outlet in
Appleton and Deerfield's Spiegel
Outlet offered the same brands
for lower prices. Guess jeans rang
up $15 less at some outlet stores,
while Forenza rugby and tees
cashed in between $10 and $20
less. One trip to the Appleton
Polo Outlet actually saved some
people over $50 off their total bill.
From New York, London and
Paris to Kenosha's Tremper, fashion was at the top of most people's
lists. Low prices added to the excitement of buying name brands.
Outlet stores benefitted those students who had the rush for styles,
but not the cash for the bill.

Boredom
weekends

Weekend warriors
Battle boredoM
As the 2:30 bell drew nearer on
a Friday afternoon, Trojans found
their thoughts drifting from
Chemistry formulas and Geometry proofs to plans for the upcoming weekend.
With no dance scheduled on
the student activities calendar
and no parties planned, students
found themselves faced with the
dreaded question, "What are we
going to do tonight?"
The threat of babysitting the
"little brats" if an older brother or
sister did not have anything better
to do caused many teens to answer that question in a hurry.
Darting out the door with an "I'll
be home at the usual time," and
jumping in the car, teens took off
to hit the town.But, what exactly
did it mean?
The night started off with a
stop by the Burger King near
Tremper turf to see who else had
pulled in and if someone else
knew what was going on. Seeing a
few people was the point, but if
everybody happened to have the
same idea at once, it usually ended up with half of Tremper High
School parking in the Burger
King lot and the police arriving on

kick everyone out. It was definitely the most outrageously unclassic solution to the problem.
"It seems pretty gay to me that
just because some kids get together and are talkin' in the parking
lot, the cops just come and chase
us out! Oh, but we are causing so
much trouble!" senior Nancy
Pagliaroni commented sarcastically.
A drive past some "possible
parties," the house of someone
known for having many parties,
sometimes turned out a prosperous night.
·
Following strike two, the party
mobile then caravaned past such
locations as a member of the opposite sex's house, the lake, or the
movie theater, looking for familiar cars, checking who was where.
If all else failed, a date with the
TV and the VCR was better than
no date at all. "When there's
nothing wise to do, my friends and
I pick up a movie like St. Elmo's
Fire. We've figured it out that the
two dollars spent on a movie is
much cheaper than the gas we'd
waste driving around - and not
half as boring," concluded senior
Julie Beardsley.

"Don't tell anyone, but
you'll NEVER guess who's
having a party." whispered
teens to fellow chums when
parties dotted Trojan weekends. The promise of a bit of
fun and heaven knows what
at a friend's home (other
than one's own) jammed the
hum-drum out of the weekend. With half barrel awaiting the imminent arrival of
all the people who "didn't
know" about the party, teen
party-throwers patrolled the
neighborhood for any sign
of disturbance (police,
neighbors, family) which
might undo the festivities.
Leaving much to the imagination, parties ranged in
size and activity but retained one Trojan characteristic: classic outrageousness!
"A party just isn't a party
until BIG knives are hurled
at body 'parts,' and upon
missing stick straight up in
the linoleum floors!" chuckled senior Jeff Somers.
Teen gossip splashed
over vanilla cokes and chocolate shakes at the local
Big Boy on 7 5th Street.
Tremperites bopped on in
after games, dances or
homework to catch a wave
of relaxation. With friends
who joined in at a bubbly
booth, teens filtered through
frustrations and fantasies
while nibbling on a side order of french fries. A classic
switch from a slow weekend
night or just a quick stop
after an event-filled evening, Big Boy cushioned
teens against chilly parents
or even everyday boredom.
"With Cindy and Doris
waiting on me HAND
AND FOOT, I can get a
cherry Coke for 65 cents,
make a mess, and never
once get yelled at to do my
homework!" said junior
Nancy I setts.

Half crazed with weekend shopperitis, teenagers
bolted through Grand Avenue or Hawthorne searching
for outrageously gabby garb
(gabby garb: clothes ALL
your friends will talk abut).
Bouncing fashion decisions
off friends' compliments,
Tremperites primmed and
pranced in an indecision of
which blue looked best with
that gray. W eekenders
bragged of Benetton
britches or casual classics.
Switching images from boring to be-bopping flaunted a
fantastical fashion world of
illusion.
"Well, I guess I like to

Substitutes
Bouncing orer 60 interstate miles, era wling
through petty change tolls
and whizzing past Chicago
suburbs, Trojans danced
their way into McGreevy's
in Niles, Illinois. With five
bucks in hot little hands,
Tremperites bopped past
admissions to be splashed
with a new wave of punk
music. Songs by The Cure,
Depeche Mode and Ministry undulated over gyrating
teens in eurythmic fashion.
An awesome weekend escape, Friday and Saturday
nights at McGreevy's Entertainment Center reeled
teens through the classic
year.

"It's just so upsetting that the

problems, but what's okay to do
now wasn't okay to do then, so she
deals with them differently.
Things just aren't the same as
they were 20 or 30 years ago!"
said junior Joan Bose.
Students and their parents suffered through the generation gap
as the reality of the '50s and '60s
conflicted with that of the '80s.
Struggling to make a connection,
some parents just could not handle the difference in the lifestyles
of teens today.
Mrs. Virginia Fennema, Crisis
Intervention Coordinator at Kenosha Youth Development Services, calculated that out of the
1,974 teens KYDS had seen in
1986, 1.9 percent of them used
alcohol, 1.4 percent used drugs
and 1.5 percent had sex related
problems, 1 out of 4 being boys.
However, these statistics reflected
only severe cases.
Mrs. Fennema estimated,
"Based on my experience at
KYDS, approximately 85 percent
of teens have experimented with
alcohol or drugs, and age 11 or 12
is the average age for experimentation."
With the recent strong campaign against alcohol and drugs as
well as the concern for AIDS and
venereal diseases, parents hesitated to let their kids make their own
decisions. Whether the clash involved going out with the gang to
a party or an evening spent with
that special someone, parents'
views differed from teens.
"A lot of parents think kids get
involved with alcohol and drugs
because of peer pressure, but
194

Teen turmoil

that's not always the case," pointed out junior Corey Henriksen.
"Parents are more concerned
about who their kids are going out
with nowadays because of all the
publicity about drugs, drunk driving and diseases like AIDS," said
senior Julie Dickow.
For some parents reality hit
hard when their kids received
school punishment for drinking or
smoking.
Other parents remained oblivious to the social lives their teen
led. In some cases, just plain naivete left them in the dark.
On the other hand, some parents just chose to ignore their
teens out-of-school social life.
"Sometimes I think we withhold information from our parents because we're afraid they
won't understand. At times they
just stick to their own ideas and
won't listen to anything you say,"
commented junior Sue Pitts.
On occasion students wondered
about their parents past. Some
teens were afraid to ask about it
openly or just completely unable
to picture their parents young.
"I've often wondered what my
parents did on the weekends when
they were my age. If I did ask, I'm
not sure I'd get the absolute
truth," remarked junior Eileen
Brandt.
As in the movie Back To The
Future, teens of the '80s floundered in the ideas of the '50s and
'60s while their parents strived to
grasp the standards of today.
Meeting each other half way
though, some Tremperites managed to bridge the gap between
their parents and themselves.
"I get along really well with my
parents. If we disagree about
something, then we can sit down
and talk about it," claimed junior
Angel Margetson.

Media tunes in anti-drug campaign
With a barrage of anti-drug
commercials filling the screen,
those students who watched
prime-time television received a
clear message telling them to
"just say no to drugs." Students
picked up on the message to carry
it forward into classes, halls and
local media.
Programs such as "Growing
Pains," which aired every Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. on channels 7
and 12, made especially strong
statements. After an anti-cocaine
episode on Frebruary 10, led actor Kirk Cameron came on the set
and had a heart-to-heart talk with
his viewers. Cameron stated his
objections to drug use and pleaded with the public in an attempt to
stop drug abuse.
"I thought it was very effective
to have Kirk Cameron say those
things as himself, not as his character, because I think a lot of people look up to stars," remembered
junior Georgette Sampson.
MTV also joined in on the antidrug campaign. Rockers formed a
group called RAD - Rock Against
Drugs. Commercials ran between

videos with rock stars such as Jon
Bon Jovi, Vince Neil and Gene
Simmonds, claiming it was not
cool to use drugs.
Anti-drug commercials also ran
on prime-time television. Connie
Seleca from "Hotel," shown every
Wednesday at 9 p.m. on channels
7 and 12, made a commercial
stating "taking coke isn't cool."
"I think it's a good idea to have
the anti-drug commercials on
during all the popular shows and
on MTV. That way a lot of kids
will see them and hopefully get
the message. The commercials
may not make any dramatic
changes, but they'll probably get
people thinking," said senior Karrie Turner.
Besides the anti-drug campaign
on the national level, some Tremperites conveyed their views
against drugs. Students from the
Radio Broadcasting class, taught
by Mrs. Sally Heidemen, aired
DJ shows before school on
Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Divided into three groups,
the 20 students in the class
switched off to broadcast an-

nouncements over the school's in- shown on the district cable channel during Drug Awareness

Sobering Consequences:
Staggering into the dance after
belting down a few brews at a
friend's house or in a parked car
on a dark road, students who
chose to drink before school sponsored events risked getting "busted." However, with the presence
of a breathalizer at every dance,
their chances of pulling a fast one
on adult chaperones dwindled.
In fact, of the 17 students penalized for the use of drugs or
alcohol, an approximate half had
consumed alcohol before a dance.
For those who drank, acting sober was the name of the game.
One too many mistakes drew the
attention of observant teachers.

An increase in teen parenting
raised the issue within the Kenosha Unified whether or not to
guide teenage girls into becoming
teenage mothers.
Although young women were
not restricted from attending
school at any time during their
pregnancies, another educational
option provided a comprehensive
look at their future responsibilities.
The School Age Mothers program (S.A.M.) at Reuther Alternative High School provided
young adults with the information
they needed to put their future
.responsibilities into perspective.

S.A.M. also continued the
pregnant teen's advancements in
the fields of English, math, consumer education, health, science,
history and sociology. All credits
earned in S.A.M. transferred to
the teen's home school. S.A.M.
was initiated in September 1971
by the Kenosha Unified School
District to help teenagers to become prepared for parenting.
At Tremper. Dr. Mary Scharmach was in charge of counseling
pregnant young women. She stated, ••A majority of teen parents
are starting to opt to keep their
children. The S.A.M. program at
Reuther is a good way to start the
young parents off. It is cheaper
economically to support the
S.A.M. program and have the
mothers continue their education,
rather than pay for the girls on
welfare."
.. Recently. there has been controverSy among parents about the
school's responsibilities of educating about teen parenting. In conclusion, I would like to ask this: IF
society publicizes information
with sexual overtones, who will
answer teenage questions about
parenting? I hope the school
board is responsible when addressing this tender issue," Scharmach concluded.

"No way-just one? I heard
there was SEVEN!"
"Wow! SCARY!!"
Plagued with the gossip bug.
Tremperites spread rumors about
the possibility of AIDS infecting
the school. Misinformation about
the disease reached all levels of
school activity. During the Student Con~ Blood Drive. a rumor started that giving blood
could cause AIDS.
"It is impossible to catch AIDS
by giving blood! Every needle
used is sterile and only used
ONCE." replied Student Con~ President Robin Pious.
The question of AIDS spilled
into the Kenosha Unified School
Board meetings where. this year.
the board passed two policies on
AIDS. one for students and one
for teachers. Although Principal
Richard Regner gave a P.A. assurance on March 26 that to the
best of his knowledge there was
not an AIDS teacher or student at
school. the board's policies pr~

The American Motors orercross on 52nd

in decor before summer's end.
Getting some fishing in during Easter

Trusky stand among the breakers.

AMC
As American Motors Corporation decreased production because of $91.3 million loss on
sales of Alliances and Encores, an
opportunity to utilize production
facilities attracted an offer from
Chrysler. Chrysler needed space
to build their M-body cars, and
the excess capacity in Kenosha's
plants offered the solution. One of
the M-body cars, Chrysler Fifth
A venue, had suddenly increased
in popularity as the drop in world
oil prices increased demand for
large cars.
With Chrysler's proposal to
build M-body cars and Omni/
Horizons in Kenosha, AMC
opened negotiations with its union
members. These discussions came
to an abupt halt; however, when
Chrysler Chairman Lee Iacocca
announced his intentions to buy
AMC. Chrysler signed an agreement with Renault at 6:30 a.m. on
March 9 to buy-out Renault's 46
percent stake in AMC.
Talks continued over whether
or not to take Chrysler up on its
offer, and stockholders overwhelmingly approved the purchase in August.
"I think having Chrysler in Kenosha would be good for our city;
however, I think that Kenosha
should use its other resources so
our economy is not based only on

junior Dave Sunday.
With heavy rains causing nearly $2 million worth of serious
flooding damage in Kenosha
County by the end of 1986, President Ronald Reagan declared Kenosha County a federal flood disaster area. This action allowed
those affected by the damage to
apply for federal and state aid.
The federal government also
agreed to fund a $600,000 study
of high water lake levels throughout the Great Lakes. The International Joint Commission, a group
of officials from the U.S. and
Canada who monitor Great Lake
policies, recommended this study.
In the fall of 1986, excessive
downpour tipped the level of Lake
Michigan to 581.63 feet, the highest October lake level since 1861.

This high water level razed the
the Kenosha shoreline.
"The lake is very high this year
and has caused a lot of damage.
Many families around my grandparent's house have lost many feet
of Iakefront property. Some people have been putting in breakers
and pouring cement, but it doesn't
seem to be helping much," commented junior Katie Kedzierski.
By the year's end, the city had
spent over $100,000 on concrete
boulders to reinforce the bank
along First Avenue between
I 02nd and I 13th Streets. A November storm grooved away huge
chunks of earth around protective
seawalls in Southport and Eichelman Park. That same storm also
blocked the mouth of the Pike
River with sand, causing water to

seep up over the newly built Alford Drive.
Just east of this drive, at Carthage College, officials spent
$150,000 in the past two years to
prevent lake advancement.
The city also closed down Kennedy Drive from 45th Street to
Pennoyer Park and stated that it
may remain closed.
"The road is torn up, and we're
fighting a losing battle with maintenance," said Parks Department
Supervisor Paul Pulera.
Not yet sure what methods to
take, the city budgeted $500,000
for shoreline repairs in 1987. Already cluttered with seawalls, jetties and revetments, Kenosha's
shoreline suffered serious damage
from the erosion caused by Lake
Michigan's waves.

Two tried for gas station slayings
Bludgeoned, stabbed and set
afire, two Kenoshans died
Wednesday, Dec. 31, 1986, shortly before 4 a.m. at Stemper's Shell
Service Station on I-94 and Highway 50. The victims of this slaying
were John C. Ekornaas, 19, and
Steven D. Kinney, 21. Suspected
of committing the act, Luigi
Aiello, 22, and Spriggie HenselyJr., 21, faced murder, armed robbery and arson counts.
Although the exact circumstances remained unknown, the
court formed possible events that
occured that night. Ekornaas, not

scheduled to work that night, was
believed to be visiting his cousin
Kinney who was on duty at the
time.
Both defendants claimed that
they stopped at the gas station to
collect $11,000 owed on a cocaine
deal. Since the men failed to produce the cash, violence arose and
the attendants were killed.
Both victims were judged,
through autopsies, to have been
severely beaten, stabbed several
times and cut at the throat before
being drenched with gasoline and
set on fire. Aiello and Hensely

also emptied the cash register and
floor safe.
The two defendants faced separate trials. Aiello's trial started
Monday, March 23, and ended
Friday, March 27. Due to a testimony by Brian J. Smith, a Kenosha bartender and "friend" of
Aiello, the court convicted Aiello
of arson, robbery and two counts
of murder. Smith testified that
Aiello came to his house at about
5:30 a.m. on Dec. 31.
"He said that he just killed two
people," Smith said. "One pulled
a knife and he stabbed them ... "

The court sentenced Aiello to
two life sentences plus 70 years.
"It was good to see Aiello get a
stiff sentence because too many
murderers get out on probation
after only serving a small part of
their sentence," remarked junior
Danielle Fuller.
Hensely's trial, in which he defended himself, was scheduled for
April 23.
"I think without a doubt that
Hensely will be found guilty on all
counts. Both of them deserve to
spend the rest of their lives in prison," stated junior Steve Yoo.

Judge orders AIDS testing
For several months prior to Feb. 5, Judge
Bruce E. Schroeder of Kenosha had been ordering prostitutes to be tested for AIDS, but on
that Thursday morning he expanded the AIDS
testing order to "most persons convicted of sexual assaults involving penetration."
His decision drew negative reaction from the
American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin.
Gretchen Miller, a legal director of the state
ACLU in Milwaukee, stated that it could result
in unlawful discrimination against AIDS victims and contribute unintentionally to an atmosphere of hysteria about the disease.
"Even though AIDS is a personal issue, I
think if it's going to affect another person, prostitutes should be tested for it. I can really see
both sides of the issue, but something has to be
done," said sophomore Robin Johnson.
The increase in the number of cases nation
wide and the ease with which a prostitute could
Durinp Mr. Santos Jimenez's first hour

Constitution on Feb. 11 .

pass on the disease prompted Schroeder's decision.
If his action "saves one person's life, I guess it
has had an impact," the judge said.
By Feb. 5, four prostitutes had been tested
with two negative results and two inconclusive.
On March 13, Schroeder ordered another
prostitute to be tested for the virus as a part of
her probation.
Schroeder said that should a test come back
positive, he would try to "put them out of business for a while."
That could mean a longer jail sentence or
monitored probation, up to two years on a single
offense and three on multiple ones.
"All I know is that I can't close my eyes to the
fact that these people might be carrying death
into others' homes. To close my eyes to that, I
don't see as being consistent with my duty,"
concluded Schroeder.

Place your bets right here
Censorship of videotapes, pari-mutual betting for the state, a statewide lottery and setting a limit on city taxes
drew 16,820 Kenosha voters to the polling places on Tuesday, April 7, 1987.
The voter turnout was 41 percent compared to that of 15 percent for the 1985
spring election.
For the censorship issue, voters chose
to agree or disagree with the referendum statement: "Be it resolved that the
electorate of the City of Kenosha
strongly favors freedom of expression
and opposes all censorship legislation
which seeks to limit adult access to videotape materials."
Similar to state results, the "yes" side
won with 8,877 votes to 7,214 "no"
votes, a 55 percent to 45 percent difference.
State and city voters also approved

the lottery and pari-mutuel betting. The
lottery passed in Kenosha with 76 percent out of 25,935 votes. The pari-mutual betting came through with 16,551
to 8,758, 65 percent in favor.
"I think its about time Wisconsin got
a lottery because people won't have to
go to Illinois, and it will give the state
some needed income," noted senior
Heaven LaFaely.
On the referendum for taxes, 64 percent out of 23,545 backed it. The referendum requested that the County
Board limit its 1988 tax levy to no more
than a three percent increase from this
year and reduce the levy by 2.5 percent
in both 1989 and 1990.
The increased voter turnout of 26
percent signaled the voter concern for
controversial issues.

The U.S. Government hunted
for answers as the scandal on the
Iranian-Contra deals uncovered.
The affair began with President
Reagan attempting to achieve his
goals of improving relations with
Iran to keep the Soviets from
gaining a foothole in the oil-rich
Iran. of securely freeing American hostages and of aiding the
Contra rebels in their attempt to
oust the Sandinists government of
Nicaragua.
On the advice of his staff. he
allowed certain men to carry on a
secretive operation that skirted
congressional eyes and approval.
Men such as Lt. Col. Oliver
North and Major General Richard Secord. former National Security Advisor Robert McFarlane. Vice Adm. John Poindexter
and CIA director William Casey
were all delegated the responsibility of helping the President.
Congress barred direct U.S. aid
to the Contras in 1984 and 1985.
Yet during that time. North managed to funnel millions of dollars
to the Contras. This was done
through funds raised from private
citizens. friendly foreign governments and the arms sales to Iran.
On at least three occaMions.
the CIA flew as many as seven
plane-loads of TOW antitank
missiles and at least 250 tons of
other hardware to Israel under
the code name Operation Recovery. Israeli and Iranian arms
brokers then delivered to Iran the
shipments worth $12 million.
Those arms brokers charged the
Iranians a price of nearly $50 million. The Iranian buyers deposited
arms payments into a Swiss bank.

The various arms dealers. financers and middlemen took as
much of a percentage as worth
$15 million. Twelve million was
passed through the CIA to the
Department of Defense to cover
the government cost of the arms.
The remaining $10 to $30 million
profit was deposited into a Swiss
bank account for use by the Contras.
"Our government says that the
action taken was probably the last
possible step so as to release our
hostages in Iran. They hid the
truth from the public and sold the
arms to Iran. Where are our hostages?" questioned sophomore
Anne Glowacki.
President Reagan insisted that
he "did not seem to be aware of
the way in which the operation
was implemented."
The President appointed John
Tower. Edwin Muskie and Lt.
General Brent Scowcraft to a special review board that would investigate the Iran-Contra maze.
The 299-page Tower Commission
report stated that $19.8 million
dollars from the arms sale was unaccounted for.
"The ironic thing about the
Iran-Contra scandal is that it involved an attempt to free American hostages in the Mideast. to
establish better relations with
Iran and to provide aid to the

The espionage case of U.S. embassy guards succumbing to the
charms of beautiful Soviet women
hit news headlines as one of the
most serious sex-for-secrets exchanges in U.S. history.
The Marine Corps charged that
Sergeant Clayton Lonetree and
Corporal Arnold Bracy from July
1985 to March 1986 regularly allowed Soviet agents into the emp-.
ty embassy late at night. The ~
viet agents were able to be in the
embassy's communications center
for up to four hours at a time. The
corp's charge sheet claims that
Bracy served as lookout and shut
down security alarms set off by
the Soviets.
.. It's pretty awful to think that
our own Marines, the boys in
blue, the few ...the proud, could jepordize the security of our country as they did," said senior John
Murray.
The rules against fraternization
in Soviet block nations requires
all embassy employees to report

situation.
Rule:..breaking made it easy for
Soviet Violetta Seina, a former
receptionist at the U.S. Ambassador's residence, to have relations
with Lonetree and seduce him
into permitting the KGB to enter
the embassy. Bracy also bad relations with Galina, the Soviet cook
at Marine House.
Among other charges, the Marine Corps alleges that Lonetree
and Bracy provided the Soviets
with the names, addresses and
telephone numbers of former U.S.
intelligence agents living in the
Soviet Union. Supposedly, they
offered embassy blueprints, floor
plans and office assignments to
the Soviets. Also, they lied to security personnel about why
alarms bad been activated in the
communications center.
Lonetree's lawyer says bis client will deny all allegations.
All 28 Marines assigned to
Moscow are being replaced.
Shultz asked Congress for a special $25 million to replace the security systems for embassies in

Moscow and Vienna, where Lonetree also worked.

Marine officers who train the
embassy guards point out that
there bas been no known security
breaches for 38 years. They argue
that the fault lies with the lax supervision by State Department security officials.
Also stirring up Congress was
the problem of the U.S. embassy
compound in Moscow, which was
nearing completion when work
was halted in 1985. It is seemingly
so bugged and embedded with
snooping gear that the government is thinking of tearing it
down. Another option was that
the Americans carefully construct
three secure floors on top of the
embassy.
According to national news
sources like Time, the technological damage being uncovered that
Lonetree, Bracy and other Marines have brought on will be hard
to remedy, but to repair the pride
and trustworthiness of the Marine
Corps could be just as difficult.

Whether on the field,
court, mat, track or in the
pool, Trojan athletes ran,
served, pinned, pole-vaulted
and backstroked towards
that CLASSIC EDGE. To
gain that edge, there was no
substitue for hours of daily
practice.
Beginning August 12, the
crunch of shoulderpad on
shoulderpad resounded
from the practice field six
hours a day during football
minicamps. Daily, golfers
swung their clubs into the
back seat and carpooled out
past 1-94 to Bristol Oaks to
put in a full round after
school.
That edge, that victory
edge, came as close as the
one-point overtime loss to
Bradford in basketball, in
contrast to the tennis team's
7-0 thrashing of Bay View.
Exhilerating triumphs over
rivals and heart-breaking
losses were the name of the
game.
Swim team's perfect 15-0
season left their opponents
in the wake, as six surged to
State. Jeff Dugdale broke
the 200 l.M., 100 backstroke and I 00 breaststroke
school records.
Advancing through Regionals to Sectional competition, the girls softball team
fell to Racine Case on June
2. On Lewis field, the 0-3

score ended all hopes of
their second consecutive
State bid.
Despite heroic individual
performances, team efforts
did not always cut it over
the edge. A classic example,
Darryl Shampine pitched a
no-hitter on May 12 against
Bradford, only to Jose 0-1
because of catcher's interference. Likewise, the girls
golf team tallied a disappointing 0-8 in its first season despite Krista Sikora's
three medals for best-atmeet.
Often, friends voicing
their support supplied that
edge. Homecoming's legions of fans sprinkled with
red and blue faces screamed
support throughout the 1018 Joss to Case.
Only ever-faithful parents
and close friends dotted the
sidelines and stands of J. V.
sports, though. At lesser-attender sports like gymnastics and volleyball, parents
again punctuated the difference between winning and
losing.
Grit, sweat and roars
from the stands pooled into
a winning formula for Trojan athletes. Win or Jose,
Trojan athletes were driven
towards the edge, the leading edge, the winning edge,
the CLASSIC EDGE.

Aside from the big three fall
sports of hunting, fishing and

skating, bike riding, racquetball,
jogging, karate, motorcycling and
swimming accounted for less than
five percent each of the 25 out-ofschool sports. The 126 students
surveyed represented sophomore,
junior and senior classes, as well
as basic, regular and honors levels
proportionate to the school population.
Casting in for the largest number of fall sports enthusiasts, fishing hooked 39 percent of the students polled. While most anglers
partnered with dad or grandpa,
one Tremperite recalled a humorous incident which occurred on a

OFFENSE FUMBLES DEFENSIVE STRENGTH

In

a pivotal contest
against cross-town rival
Bradford, the Trojans
fell 18-10 into fourth
place in the Big 9.

Before being crushed by safety Scott
Trottier, a South receiver splits the
Tremper zone for 14 yards in the 23- 7 loss.

After 18 years of assistant
coaching duties, Coach Leonard
Apple led the football team to a 54 season. Grabbing fourth place
in the Big 9, the Trojan's offensive
weaknesses overpowered a stingy
defense which allowed a mean of
10.5 points a game. The offense
itself averaged only 183.5 yards
and little more than I 0 points per
game.
Tremper took a hard hit in the
loss of six foot-one inch, 270
pound Todd Young. The offensive
guard and nose tackle severely injured his knee in a warm-up drill,
requiring surgery and putting him
out for the season.
Tailback John Ayers led the
Trojan ground attack, collecting
322 yards on the season. In comparison to most high school football teams, whose leading groundgainers usually tear up around
700 or 800 yards on a season, this
statistic reflected Tremper's
chronic offensive ailment.
"We had trouble all year with
our offense. The offensive line
could not block for the run consistently. Most of our total ground
yards were from a few big gainers," said Coach Apple.
The defense put on a clinic in
their 13-0 shutout of Milwaukee
Pulaski on Sept. 5. The Trojans
held Pulaski to a mere I 02 total
yards, with only seven on the
ground. Middle linebacker Dennis Johnson ended Pulaski's only
threat with an interception inside
the 10-yard line.
Tremper scored both touchdowns in the first quarter. On the
third play of the game, Ayers
streaked down the right sidelines
for a 39-yard touchdown run off a
pitchout play that accounted for

most of Ayers' 85 rushing yards.
Later in the quarter, fullback
Rick Callow powered into the end
zone from two yards out to cap a
68-yard drive. Key plays in the
drive were a 17-yard run by Ayers
and a 37-yard bomb by quarterback Scott Trottier to wide receiver Dwight Bradley.
Defeating Horlick and receiving a forfeit victory from Custer,
Tremper then met with their first
loss. On Sept. 28, the Cardinals
stuck the Trojans with a 23- 7
beating at South Stadium. Three
successive days of rain had saturated he field, and a 25-yard
South field goal mounted the only
points of the first half after both
teams were logged down for nearly all twenty minutes.
South used defensive quickness
to their advantage, pouncing on
the Tremper offense as they wallowed through swampy South
Stadium. As the game dragged on
to the fourth quarter, South began to pick up yardage utilizing
the pop pass, splitting the defensive backfield and picking out 78
yards to build the deficit to 10-0.
Tremper drove back with a 47yard scramble by Trottier and a
20-yard TD run by tailback Jon
Palmen. However, South lashed
back by returning the kickoff 85
yards, building the lead back to
ten. The Trojans battled back, but
a Trottier pass landed in the
hands of a South defender, who
returned it to the Tremper 30.
Runs of 27 and three yards tallied
up six more points for South,
completing the scoring at 23-7.
With a 4-2 record, the Trojans
battled crosstown rival Bradford
for second place in the Big 9. On
their first possession of the game,

Looking past Case defenders, QB Scott
Trottier hits tight end Clint Englund for
21 yards in the Homecoming loss.

Tremper lost the first of three
fumbles at their own 31-yard
line. Driving into the middle of
the defense, Bradford's Bob
Marko scored from the one after
single-handedly leading the
ground attack to the goal line.
Three minutes into the game,
Bradford led 6-0.
Although defenses took command, at 9:35 before halftime,
Trottier lofted the ball 54 yards to
Bradley for a TD. Kicker John
Gonzales split the uprights to pull
Tremper ahead at 7-6.
Tremper broadened the lead
before half when Trottier intercepted a pass at Tremper's 47.
Two pass receptions from Trottier
to tight end Clint Englund landed
the Trojans at Bradford's eightyard line. There Gonzales kicked
a 20-yard field goal on the last
play of the half to put the score at
10-6.
Tremper's four-point lead lasted as long as halftime. At the
kickoff, Bradford returner Carlos
Correa raced the ball back 77
yards to pull Bradford ahead for
good at 12-10. The game ended at
18-10 as defensive back Darren
Maddox intercepted a Trojan
pass and scampered 66 yards.
Not only did Tremper lose the
game, but three key players also
went out with injuries. Trottier
could play only tailback for the
rest of the season as the result of a
bruised shoulder that occurred on
a 13-yard carry. Defensive lineman Dennis Wade missed three
quarters of the Bradford game
with a twisted ankle, and Captain
Rick Callow watched the last two
games of the season from the sidelines. He had broken his thumb in
three places.
"We had defensive problems all
year; then to top it off, we had a
lot of injuries to key players. With
the addition of good junior prospects and Dennis Wade, we had
potential for a better season if we
could have stayed healthy,"
summed 110 Percent Award winner Jon Euting.

a goal but were driven back by
Bradford's defense. Bradford
scored a goal at the end of the
first half to tie the score.
Less than a minute into the second half, a Red Devil guided a
kick past diving goalie Chris
Wade.
The combined ball handling of
midfielders Brian Campagna and
Schmidt earned the right to a free
kick on a penalty card. Bradford's
Vlatko Minic had pushed
Schmidt. His instep kick flew in
and tied the game 2-2.
The rivals then played physical
soccer. Each side sustained a
bloody nose, and right wing Tom
Lux tore open his hand. The ball
was traded back and fourth between Bradford's midfield and
Tremper's defense seven times.
"Our defense was tired because
Bradford kept striking at us. Our
offense had to control the game,"
said Captain and All Conference
player Tom Lux.
Midfielder Todd Haun worked
the ball upfield and turned control over to Silenzi, who stood unguarded. He nailed the goal to
lead 3-2 with four minutes left to
play. Outstanding defensive play
by Lux, who blocked two goals,

denied the Red Devils a score and
advanced the Trojans to Regional
competition.
"Knowing that we had beaten
them before gave us the confidence to cam the victory," stated
MVP, midfielder John Roerdan.
Regionals matched the Trojans
up with _Horlick. Having previously beaten the Rebels on Sept.
11, the team went into the playoffs with high expectations. Forward Andy Adamson, on an assist
from midfielder Rico Mendou,
scored from eight feet out. Horlick, though, drove two goals
through the Tremper defense.
Horlick scored one goal on a direct kick, and the other on a routine side kick.
"Although Horlick played
tougher than in past times, we just
couldn't pull together as a team
and play aggressively. Horlick
didn't allow us any breaks to capitalize on either," commented forward Andy Adamson.
This game ended the Trojan
season with most players satisfied
with the conference placement
and team enthusiasm.
"Our team played well during
the season despite our rough loss
in Regionals," concluded Coach
Jerry Tobalsky.

"Horlick's passmg and
mid-field domination
beat us at Regionals."

training in the pool showed unexpected improvement for Goetz,"
stated Coach Bradley.
Using a life preserver for buoyancy, Goetz strengthened her ankle while running in the deep end.
While Goetz labored in the pool,
others started intensive speed
training consisting of running
sprints in succession.
On Oct. 25 on the UW-Parkside course at the Sectional meet,
Goetz qualified and became the
third female runner to represent
Tremper at the WIAA State

Meet held in Madison.
"The team spent long miles
training at the sand dunes down in
Carrol Beach. Running in the
sand and over the hills helped us
overcome the grueling Parkside
course. It was the most challenging course of the season!" commented Goetz. Sprinting in at
12:43, Goetz placed sixth out of
89 runners with her fastest time
ever.
Other finishers, including
Kentcy placing 23rd, Edwards at
40th and Amy Kowalski in 44th,
tallied the team score for sixth
place out of 15 teams.
At the State meet, Goetz ran
12:32, a personal best, but crossed
the finish line at 63rd.
At Sectional competition Rodriguez charged for a 10th place,
crossing the line at 16:27. Helmke
strode in at 29th place with 17:09.
Ben Prickett sprinted to 4lst and
Jim Walke finished 59th to hold
the Trojans at 205 points. The
boys team finished eighth.
Sprinting to the finish line, senior Amy
Edwards clocks in an eighth place 13:59 at
the Pulaski lnviational.

"This season, our own
conference faced us with
the stiffest competition."

<JREEN TALENT PUTTS OVER PA~
S winging from the
1985-86 boys golf team
to the recently organized girls golf team,
Krista Sikora dominated
the team and chipped in
three medalist rounds.

Composed of all novice players
save for three experienced golfers,
the girls golf team broke ground
as they entered Big 9 competition
for the first year. Although triple
bogeys and worse piled up on the
girls' scorecards in a 0-13 season,
number one player Krista Sikora
shot to three medalist titles.
Because the Bradford Red
Devils fielded a girls golf team,
Coach Nancy Phipps petitioned
funding for a Tremper team. In
January of 1986, the School
Board voted to establish the Trojan girls golf team. The School
Board also allocated funds for
tees, golf balls, shag bags and
transportation.
"Girl's golf is getting better
recognition and more publicity
than previous years. The reasons
we haven't had much interest are
because Kenosha doesn't have
much instruction and our courses
aren't convenient to practice on,"
explained Phipps.
Teeing off against Bradford,
the team fell short at Maplecrest
on Aug. 28 in their Big 9 debut.
With consistent low scoring,
Krista Sikora did tally a 55, eight
over Ann Bishop, medalist for
Bradford. Neysa Lewein, Chris
Regner and Martha Weipert
walked off the front nine with 67,
83 and 80 respectively.

As Neysa Lewein remotes her glote for
utting on Maplecrest's 8th green, Krista
ikora putts in her fourth shot to par the
hole against Bradford on Sept. 8.
Warming up for Regional Competition,
artha Weipert tees off with her 3-wood
n Sept. 24 at Johnson Park.
Hitting Ires Grores third green in regulation, Chris Regner approaches to tap in a
par against Union Grove on Sept. 2.

Girls golf

"The hot and sunny weather
made the course dry. It was hard
to stop the ball on Maplecrest's
hard greens," expressed Regner.
Despite posting their lowest
score of the season, the Trojans
overstroked Union Grove by six
at Ives Groves on Sept. 3. Sikora,
medalist at 13 strokes over par,
shot 49. Ranked second on the
team, Lewein captured second as
well with 10 more strokes than
Sikora. Regner drove a 66, placing her sixth. Weipert used her 5iron and 7-iron play to take eighth
with 74. Except for brisk winds,
otherwise favorable conditions
yielded the players 248 as they
strolled off the fairway.
Although the team trailed behind in their second meet against
the Red Devils, Sikora put in her
best score of the season on Sept.
15. On home course Bristol Oaks,
Sikora chipped a 47.
"We were surprised at Krista's
showing because it was a cold and
wet day. We learned that that
kind of weather made Krista play
better. If only the weather had
affected the rest of us the same
way," lamented Weipert.
Sikora's score won her second
medal of the season and placed
her first, 11 strokes under second
place finisher, Bishop of Bradford .

On Sept. 29 at Johnson Park,
the team ended their season in the
WIAA REgional meet. With
rain-sopped, cold and misty conditions, the Trojans placed eighth
with 319. Extremely moist weather cut down the scheduled 18
holes to the back nine only. At 57,
Sikora floundered fifteen strokes
over Case's medalist, Marcy Sipla, who tallied 42. Lewein
trudged out of the rough, pitching
a 69. Becky Werve and Jaymie
Steagall both turned in a 103
Regner, who experienced the
shot that always brings the golfer
back to the course, finished with a
90. "I was on the green in two on
the 10th. I sank a twenty-footer
for a par," she exclaimed.
"We made daily progress except for the last week in which it
started to rain frequently. The
girls' scores were going down,"
stated Phipps.
Sikora, who had competed on
the 1985-86 boys golf team, commented, "We didn't do too bad
for a first-year team with a lot of
inexperience. At least we tried
and gave it our best shot."

Chipping onto the par-3 ninth green
against Horlick, Krista Sikora watches
the ball roll 17 feet short of the hole as she
captures second place.

"Considering our experince, we played up to par
against Union Grove."

INEXPERIENCE NETS REGIONAL LOSS

L

ack of communica-

tion and inexperience in
varsity level competition
bumped the volleyball
team down to seventh
place in the Big 9 Conference.

"Our team is mostly underclassmen, and it showed in our
scores, which volleyed from high
to low," commented receiver Kris
Ryan, who captured the Coach's
Award.
The varsity, comprised of one
sophomore, seven juniors and one
senior, served up the season
against Pulaski on Sept. 27. The
team psyched up by yelling out
"Get it back!" but their effort fell
short. Tremper dropped all three
games and the match with scores
of 3-15, 4-15 and 2-15.
"The meet, being the first of
the season, set us on edge and
caused us to inconsistently receive
the ball on the court," commented
spiker Jenni Madsen, who received Big 9 Conference Team
Honorable Mention as well as a
place on the Carthage College
All-Tournament team.
Unphased by their loss to Pulaski, the Trojans volleyed against
Horlick with teamwork on Sept.
11. Setter Kim Heard served fast
and low to the opponent, upheaving the Rebels for a first game
score of 15-7. Horlick gained the
serve the next game and won 12-

15. Rotating back in, Heard controlled the next game with eight
scoring serves in nine attempts.
The 15-11 win took the meet.
Heard, who won Big 9 Conference Team Honors, explained,
"The team communication was
strong, and we received the ball
better that day."
Co-captain Shelley Gill and
Co-captain Tammy Wright led
the team to their best showing of
the season five days later against
St. Joseph. The Trojans won the
match with 15-5, 15-0 and 15-6
scores, as Madsen bombarded the
Lancers with 17 hard-hitting
spikes in 25 attempts.
"We were really fired up for the
game against St. Joes, and their
weak play just dug the hole deeper for them. Their sets, their
spikes, everything was off," stated
Wright.
Madsen, named the Strongest
Attacker and Blocker, led the
Trojans in attacks as they bumped
against Case in Regional competition.
"Using their strong points in
arrangement, I placed the best
diggers, setters and spikers where

they could make the best hits and
blocks after the ball was served.
For instance, Kris would rush
back to receive the serve, Kim
would move up to set, then Jenni
would jump to spike it over the
net," explained Coach Yvonne Jimenez.
Although team play and communication improved with calls of
"Got it!" and "Take it!" peppering the court, the Eagles completely overpowered the Trojans
and knocked them for losses of 315 and 0-15.
Madsen expressed, "Going
against Case, we knew we would
have a difficult time and tough
competition. Case was good, and
their first in Conference play
proved it."
During the middle of the season, the varsity team set up three
goals.
"We tried to win over half of
our games, improve our communication, and work more as a unit.
This season was a learning one,
especially for all the underclassmen," summarized digger and
spiker Becky Bertog.

MISSED SHOTS TURN OVER VICTORIES
With

four players
over 6 feet 5 inches tall,

to eighth place in the
conference.

JUNIOR

Even with a quick 2-0 start in
conference play, a 31 percent
shooting average bounced the
team away from Big 9 victories to
a 7-14 season.
Tremper made a fast break into
the season with a 61-59 victory at
Menominee Falls that was not decided until the final seconds. The
Trojans bounded into the second
half with a 29-27 deficit but outscored Falls 21 to 15 in the third
quarter to take a three-point lead.
During the fourth quarter, the
iead turned over twice as Trojan
leads of eight points and five
points deteriorated. Leading 5954 with two minutes left in play,
turnovers and travelling violations
put the ball in the hands of Falls'
Scott Davis, who burned
Tremper's man-to-man defense to
put Menominee up 59-58 with 20
seconds left to play.
Tremper pushed down court
quickly, passing the ball to forward Jim Baltes, who got clubbed
on the shot and took the freethrow line with eight seconds left
in play. Baltes cooly sank both
shots, and season MVP Clint
Englund iced the game with a
free-throw to end it at 61-59.

The Trojans soared to 4-1 before dropping games to New Berlin and Bradford. After slamming
a 61-48 loss to Mukwonago,
Tremper fell short in four consecutive conference contests. As
the possibility of the Big 9 championship disappeared, Tremper
shot to knock off Horlick, who
had built up a conference powerhouse with the return of two players who were ineligible at the season's start.
Clint Englund, the tallest player on Tremper's squad at 6 foot 5
inches, tore Horlick apart as he
crashed the boards for a teamhigh nine rebounds and 17 points.
Tremper outscored Horlick in
each of the first three quarters.
Holding a ten-point lead into the
fourth quarter, the game came
down to "crunch time" as time
forced Horlick to foul intentionally for Tremper to earn their points
on the charity stripe.
With 2: 12 remaining, an intentional foul sent Baltes to the floor.
Tempers flared and pushes were
exchanged, with the benches of
both teams clearing. After order
was restored, Baltes nailed both
free-throws to give Tremper a 5851 edge. Horlick's Roy Mosely
converted a three-point play to
cut the lead to 58-54. Guard Scott
Trottier took the line and sank
both free-throws, lengthening the
lead to six. Englund sank
Tremper's final four points as the
Trojans held off Horlick to end
the game at 64-60.

Pulling down an offensfre rebound, guard
Scott Trottier takes the ball up strong for
the lay-up on Jan. 16.

Goin!( up for a finl(er roll. guard Kirk
Gunhus skies to the hoop after beating his
Pulaski defender in the 56-55 loss.

"We went in straight lines tonight and went after all the loose
balls. We were more offense-oriented. We squared off to the basket on our shots," explained
Coach Saint Jimenez.
Tremper's last win came four
days later at Hamilton. Starting
with an overtime loss to Bradford
on Feb. 6, the Trojans plunged
into a six-game losing streak that
carried through the end of the
season.
In Regional battle against
Park, Jimenez looked for sophomores Bob Rhey, David Lynn and
Scott Frederickson to add some
touch to the ailing shooting percentage. Frederickson came off
the bench to nail five field goals,
finishing second only to Englund
in scoring.
The Trojans played even basketball with the heavily favored
Park midway into the first quarter, with the score at 7-6, Park
leading. Park, though, ran off ten
straight points, and the quarter
ended at 19-8.
Tremper then played evenly
with Park the next three quarters,
being outscored only 49-48 by
Park, who had beaten them by 28
only a week earlier.
Tremper finished the season at
7-14. Guard Kirk Gunhus
summed up, "We had the defense
and the rebounding, but it's hard
to win games when you shoot barely over 30 percent."

S

coring a season

high of 32 points in the
teams first game, forward Becky Bertog led
the team to a third place
in the Riverside Invitational.

Powering through

Pulaski's

defense,

guard Claudette Reams dribbles to the
hoop for the layup on Jan .16.

With an inexperienced team of
only three returning varsity players, girls basketball worked to
neutralize their weaknesses.
Bench depth kept the starting
five on the floor. Center Stacey
Stanich, forward Becky Bertog,
guard Tammy Wright, guard Kim
Heard and guard Claudette
Reams sweated out' 87 percent of
total playing time of the season.
Being shorter than most of the
Big 9 Conference teams, the Trojans battled for positions under
the boards. Each practice entailed
blocking out drills to strengthen
rebounding skills. However, only
five games reflected improvement
in victories.
After losing 32-17 to Pewaukee, the eventual tournament
champs, in the first game, Bertog
nailed from the perimeter for a
season high of 32 points in the
Riverside Invitational against
Shorewood. Winning the game
48-37 on November 14, the Trojans finished third out of four in
the tournament.
Tremper fell one point short of
beating Bradford on December 18

to bring their record to 3-3. The
Trojans shot better from the floor,
pulled down more rebounds and
committed fewer turnovers than
Bradford. However, they also
committed twice as many fouls as
Bradford and missed key scoring
opportunities.
Down by three points with 1:35
left in the game, Bertog stole the
ball and broke away to swish the
layup to bring Tremper within
one, 36-35. Bradford retaliated
with a bucket, but Stanich followed with a 12 footer . With 30
seconds left Bertog stole the ball
again but missed the layup.
With 17 seconds left, a fired-up
Bradford crowd counted "five,
four, three, two . . . " and fooled
Stanich into bombing a 40 footer
on a dish off from Tammy Wright
that flew out of the hoop. Bradford held the ball for the remaining 10 seconds and ended the
game, 38-37.
"That missed layup will stick
out in my mind forever because
we probably would have won the
game if I'd made it," said forward
Bertog.

Bay View fell to the Trojans on
January 28 as the team ran the
wheel offense. It consisted of a
rotating four corner, picking offense to open up for give-and-gos,
and man to man defense. Capitalizing on this, Bertog scored 14
points while Wright assisted with
ten. The team dominated the
boards pulling down 32 to Bay
View's 19 and won thegame 43-37.
"All of our blocking out drills
paid off in this game. Even
though everyone hated doing
them, we saw that they benefitted
us," commented guard Heard.
Finishing the regular season 514, the Trojans entered post season play. The team fell to Racine
Park on February 20 in the first
round of the WIAA Regional.
Stanich, Bertog and Wright
scored only 18 points by the half
to Park's 30. Unable to make up
the deficit, the Trojans closed the
season with the 5-15 record.
"Park's tough man-to-man defense was hard to get around. Fifteen of our shots were blocked because of their big height advantage," concluded guard Reams.

PARALLEL YEAR LAUNCHES TWO TO SECTIONALS
M
irroring the previous year, the Trojans
stayed in the MAC and
scored with Rodriguez
and Burnett at WIAA
Sectionals.

"We had to work hard at our
individual events to place well in
the meets. We fell behind in allaround because we only had two
peformers in it, while the other
teams had at least three," stated
Co-captain Jennifer DeKok.
Tumbling into their first meet
against King on December 10, the
Trojans won 80.33 to 68.62. Taking first in all-around with 6.18,
Liza Rodriguez flip-flopped to
win floor exercise with 6.75. Peppur Chambers scored a 6.05 on
floor with an aerial walkover for a
third-place finish.
Executing a half-on-half-off,
Tami Boyd vaulted a 7.6 and tied
for second with Rodriguez, who
vaulted a half-on-full-off.
On beam, Rodriguez nailed an
aerial cartwheel for a secondplace score of 5.85. Kris Gotelaere walked over backwards to
capture third with 5.75.
Swinging into unevens competition, DeKok stuck her fly-away
dismount for a 5.85 first. A tenth
of a point below DeKok, Wendy

Burnett backflipped off the lower
bar for second.
Leaping to their season high on
January 14 against Vincent, the
girls executed their routines in the
closest meet of the season. Boyd
captured thirds in vault, floor-exercise and beam with scores of
7.95, 7.5 and 7.3 respectively. Rodriguez, who tied with Boyd on
floor, and Burnett, who piked off
the unevens to a third of 7 .25, also
tallied points for the team.
"Although Vincent was able to
place first and second in almost
every event and the girls' moves
were much more difficult and
trickier than our moves, our performance and tight form was
good enough to chalk up a narrow
win against Vincent," commented
Boyd.
Only two girls qualified to go
on to Sectionals from the Regional meet on February 28 at Franklin High School. Rodriguez
placed fourth as her execution impressed the judges enough for a
8.05. Her routine highlighted a

double turn, dive cartwheel and a
baroni full off the beam.
Burnett also swung to greater
heights as she captured sixth on
unevens. Her clean, precise routme awarded her a score of 7.7.
"Although we didn't accomplish our goal of the team going to
Sectionals, Liza and Wendy performed really well at Regionals. I
was pleased with my performances, but knee injuries prevented me from competing," added
Julie Zolper, whose events were
beam and vaulting.
Neither girl advanced to State
from Salem Central High
School's Sectionals. Rodriguez
and Burnett scored a 7 .9 on beam
and 6.3 on the unevens respectively.
"The only thing we had to back
us up was our execution of moves,
instead of difficulty level, and our
hard daily workouts. The girls did
the best they could each meet and
were able to compete well considering their injuries," summarized
Coach John Chase.

To polish her routine for Sectionals,
Wendy Burnett swings off the high bar
and executes a straddle to the low bar.

a second-place finish on Dec. 17.

Before going into her second tumbling
run, Peppur Chambers holds a stance during her noor-ex routine for a 7 .8 at the
Mukwonago Invitational on Feb. 14.
Springing off the board at the JV lmitational on Dec. 3, Kim Schmitz vaults a 8.5
front handspring.

"My aerial cartwheel on

the beam was what sent
me to Sectionals."

SECTIONAL SPLASH CAPTURES 15-0
B reaking seven
school records, Jeff
Dugdale led Trojans to
qualify five for State.

After drowning out dual meet
opponents in a 15-0 season, the
Trojans claimed the Big 9 Conference and WIAA Sectional to finish first for the first time in
Tremper history.
Beginning the season on Dec. 4
with a big bang, the Trojans won
nine out of 11 events to wash out
Milwaukee Tech, 105-52. Swimming the 200-yard l.M. and the
I 00-yard breaststroke, Jeff Dugdale shattered two school records.
Dugdale streaked to 2:04.7 in the
l.M., eclipsing the 1982 mark set
by Bob Ward. Breaking the 1977
record in the I 00-yard breaststroke, Dugdale splashed in at
I :04.5.
On Dec. 13 at Milwaukee
South, the Trojans captured their
first conference title of the season
at the Big 9 Relays. The Trojans
scored 296 points, won three
events and broke two meet records. Tremper wiped out records
in the 400-yard l.M. and 300-yard
butterfly relays. Dean Helmke,
Curt Deininger and Charlie
Skendziel swam on both record
setting teams with Dugdale on the
400-yard l.M. relay and Greg
Solberg on the 300-yard butterfly
relay.
Extending their winning streak
to 6-0, the undefeated Trojans
kept their perfect record intact by
beating Milwaukee Marquette,
88-80, on Dec. 16 at the home
pool. Dugdale again set two
school records in the 200-yard
l.M. and the 100-yard backstroke. He bettered his own record in the 200-yard l.M . and surpassed the backstroke record of
Greg Schaafsman from 1978.
Teammate Dave Wade hit an in-

ward one-and-a-half for a first in
diving with Jon Bain in second.
"We never would have beaten
Marquette without diving. Marquette had no divers, so we picked
up an easy 13 points. We only won
the meet by eight!" said Dugdale.
Blowing Bradford out of the
water 120-52 on Dec. 18, Dugdale
led the Trojans to their seventh
win. Breaking his own school record in the I 00-yard backstroke,
Dugdale touched in at 58.33 and
stroked to other firsts in the 200yard freestyle and 400-yard freestyle relay, along with Jeff Wirch,
Solberg and Deininger.
With three sophomores leaving
a big wake on Jan. I 0, the Trojans
placed first in the I 0 team South
End Invitational. Dugdale sprinted in at 2:04.47 to set a meet record in the 200-yard l.M. Skendziel and Helmke took third and
fourth in the 200-yard l.M. Eric
Reiche completed the domination
of the event by taking seventh.
The Trojans 400-yard freestyle
relay of Damian Marhefka,
Wirch, Skendziel and Leon Sniegowski finished first, tying the
meet record of 3:31.86.
Completing their first perfect
dual meet season in Coach Jerry
Burmeister's 13 years of coaching, the Trojans sank Horlick,
119-87, and Wauwatosa West,
119-77, in a double dual meet on
Jan. 15.
"All of the Racine teams were
tough. Horlick had some outstanding swimmers with a lot of
depth. However, they didn't have
enough to beat us," commented
Skendziel who butterflied to first
in the 100.
On Jan. 31, the Trojans cap-

tured their sixth tournament victory as they swept the Big 9 Conference title. Scoring 239 points,
Dugdale piled up two more records in the 200-yard l.M. with
2:03.95 and I 00-yard backstroke
with 59.10. Although second best
to Park's 3:25.67, the relay team,
anchored by Dugdale, still shattered the meet record with
3:25.91.
Taking firsts at the WIAA Sectional Meet on Feb. 7 at Racine
Park, Marhefka and Dugdale
qualified for the WIAA State
Meet. The 400-yard relay of Marhefka, Wirch, Dugdale and
Skendziel freestyled to a first and
qualified for the championship.
Dugdale clinched the 200-yard
l.M . with 2:03.57 while Marhefka
took the 200-yard freestyle with
I :52.43. The Trojans triumphed
over 13 teams with 265 points.
"Winning the Sectional was
fantastic! This was the first time
in Tremper swimming history that
the Trojans claimed the Sectional
title. This was the best team to
ever go through Tremper. It
doesn't get better than 15-0!" exclaimed Marhefka.
Seeded and then finishing fifth
at the WIAA State Swimming
Championship, Dugdale blitzed
his own school record in the 200yard l.M. with a 2:01.7. Marhefka
touched in at 15th in the 200-yard
freestyle. The Trojan freestyle relay of Dugdale, Marhefka, Skendziel and Wirch qualified eighth
for the finals, but was disqualified
for two false starts in the finals.
"We worked hard all season
and it showed. I don't think we
realized we could go all the way!"
summarized Skendziel.

eld the Conference,
egional and Sectional
itles out of reach from
he Trojans.

eeping his South opponent in check at
egionals, Jack Daniel ( 165) controls the
oor as he holds a head toss.

Placing third at the Big 9 Conference meet on Feb. 7, the Trojans with 155 1/2 fell short of
Park's 159 and came out with
three champions and three seconds. Bradford Red Devils
claimed the Big 9 Conference
crown.
Troy Spann at 185 pounds
fought Bradford's Ed Foster to a
7-7 overtime deadlock. Upon the
referee's decision, Spann won the
match. "My bout against Foster
was long because we were equally
matched skill for skill," stated
Spann.
Doug Smestad won the 132 division. A major win came from
Tom Lux, who beat Eric Maravilla 6-2 in the 119 pound division. Lux claimed his third Conference title, two from the Big 9
and the other from the old Milwaukee Area Conference.
Also gaining big points for
Tremper were Brent Matson,
Tom Cundari and Bill Maksen, all
of whom took second. Horlick's
Juan Alejos pinned Matson in the
105 pound class while Panther
Ken Johnson at 112 beat out Cundari, 11-8. Pulaski's Bill Muszy-

towski pinned Maksen in 3:22 in
the heavyweight division.
At Regional competition on
February 14, the Trojans placed
with one fourth, four thirds, one
second and one first, all of which
qualified for Sectionals. Tremper
finished fifth overall with 88
points.
The only winner was Smestad
(132) who, after a 5-1 win and
pin, won his title match 12-2
against Bradford's Jim Widmar.
Lux (119) lost out to Eric Maravilla 2-4 but wrestled back for
second.
Also raking in points for
Tremper were Ben Moon (98),
Cundari, Spann (185), and Maksen (hvwt) in third place, and
Jack Daniel placed fourth.
At Sectionals with 38 points,
the Trojans placed eighth, qualified only one wrestler to State and
claimed no champions.
Winning his first match by default, Lux then went against
Greendale's Al Gruenwald, who
pinned Lux in 3:38 and eventually
won the championship in the 119
division. Lux then wrestled back,
beating out Maravilla 7-0. Lux

pitted his skills against Greenfield's Bill Kumprey. The match
tied at 2-2 after regulation time
and three one-minute overtime
periods. The referee awarded Lux
the Sectional second because he
had the most near fall points in
OT.
Doug Smestad ( 132) finished
third while Spann (185) and Maksen drew up a fourth each. Moon,
Cundari and Daniel lost out in the
first round.
"Although Doug, Troy and I
fought hard for our fourth places,
Tom really put himself into the
match. Tom really deserved to
qualify for State," commented
Maksen.
Traveling to State for the second time, Lux locked horns with
West Allis Hale's Bob Schwalbach. Lux was winning 3-2 at the
end of the first period. Five seconds into the second period,
Schwalbach reversed Lux from
the down position and pinned him
in another five seconds.
"It all happened so fast. It was
over before I even knew what happened," said Lux of his State
match.

Fitness Champs.

Physical Fitness week pounded
out nine all-school records. An
average of 20 people a day
breezed by lunch to sweat out
their best performances in six different categories. The height of
the intramural program was the
fitness week.
Junior Juan Rodriguez
crunched his stomach muscles
and strived to break school records in sit-ups with 77. He also
breezed by the indoor mile in a
time of 4:55 . Junior Brett Gayheart leaped 9 feet 10 1/4 inches
to break the previous record of 94 in the standing long jump. Trying three times to break the school
record in the shuttle run, junior
Dwight Bradley achieved his goal
on the last day. He sprinted to
beat the record of 8.11 with a 7 .8.
Raising his previous record of 24,
senior Gary Nephew pulled up 25
times to set the school record.
In the girls' competition, junior
Peppur Chambers jumped 7 feet 9
1/4 inches in the standing long
jump skimming the school and
class records by 1/4 inch. While
junior Bridgette Kopesky hung
for 1:05.79 to break her record of
56.14 in the flex arm hang, senior
Demere Kentcy, running with a
sore ankle, ran the indoor mile in
6:30 to break the record of 6:53.
Kentcy and senior Darryl
Shampine participated in the Decathlon event. This event averaged all five tests totalled togeth-

er, and then compared with the
national normals. Shampine, in
the top five percent nationally,
ended up with a 93 percent.
Kentcy scored a 78 .5 percent
which tallied in the top 20 percent.
"There was more involvement
this year; therefore, the competition and the quality of athletes
was much better," stated senior
Darryl Shampine.
Three seniors, two juniors and a
sophomore also succeeded in
breaking class records. Seniors
Shampine and Joe Bostetter performed 72 sit-ups each, while senior Michelle Zatko hung around
for 54.52 seconds in the flex arm
hang. Junior Tara LaDousa-Mason pulled off 56 sit-ups in one
minute. Sophomore Gary Steede
pushed to the limit to get the class
record in the indoor mile with a
5:26 finish .
Key Club and Student Congress battled to see who would
out-strength the other in the clash
of the clubs. Lifting up one school
record and two class records, Student Congress remained the
champs for the second year in a
row with an overall average of 87
percent.
The Student Congress team included senior Damian Marhefka,
juniors Chambers and Mason and
sophomore Michelle Stanich. Key
Club teamed seniors Craig Sucharda, Matt Goldberg and John

Margetson and junior Angel Margetson.
Less than half the people that
participated in the Physical Fitness Week took part in intramurals regularly. However, weight
training, basketball, volleyball,
badmitton and swimming drew
people to the gym fourth and fifth
hour'.
During the popular weight
training program, an average of
ten people lifted every Monday
and Wednesday.
"I enjoy working out at school
because my friends are here and I
don't have to pay to work out at
the club," commented junior Jon
Palmen.
Mrs. Carol Houtz, the director
of the intramural program, emphasized the importance of
stretching before taking the 16footer or swinging at the birdie.
"I feel that too many people
come into the gym and start to
play without stretching out which
can, in turn, cause injuries," said
Mrs. Houtz.
Ten to 15 Tremperites a day
dashed into the gym to seek competition and flex athletic ability.
With a half dozen intramural activities offered, athletes took a
shot at extra exercise.
"Without the intramural program, I don't know what I'd do
after finishing my lunch," concluded sophomore Frank Fani.
To set a personal record, senior Brady
McCa rron competes to make honorable
mention on March 19.

efore Juan Rodriguez ran away with the
Big 9 Conference and
Regional gold in the
3200m, teammates tied
or broke a total of eight
indoor records.

With a 30-6 at the March 20
Red Devil Relays, the pole vault
relay team of Steve Principe,
Mike Schmitz and Tracy Kreuser
took away the 29-6 Tremper Indoor record from the 1982 team
of John Huxhold, Chris Paielli
and Tom Bertog.
On the same day, a 24.7 seconds time in the l 65m high hurdle
relay tied the team of Jim Balcom, Clint Englund and Brett
Gayheart with the 1971 team of
Jeff Alerbi, Roger Gename and
Gary Starr and the 1974 team of
Rick Tarsito, Tom Strobbe and
Scott Scholey .
The old record of 25. l in the
l 65m intermediate hurdle relay
was taken down by Balcom, Englund and Gayheart with 23.9 at
the March 24 Rebel Relays.
Smiling to himself on April 7,
Principe walked out the Bradford
Fieldhouse with three records
from the Kenosha County Indoor
meet. His successful 13-7 pole
vault attempt shattered the 1972
Tremper High School record by

Dennis Ruhle of 13-6 as well as
Lancer Jim Pechous' 13-6 Kenosha County Indoor record set in
1986. Principe also broke the
Bradford Fieldhouse record of 136.
"I was totally freaked when I
landed on the mat without knocking over the bar," said Principe.
As Englund dashed to win the
55m high hurdles, he also
equalled the Tremper Indoor
school record of 8.0 set by Bill
Spruill.
At the close of outdoor season
in Big 9 Conference competition,
Tremper fell to fifth and claimed
only one gold on May 21.
Finishing second in the l 600m,
Rodriguez then gripped on a
Burger King Whopper and soda
given him by his friends. An hour
later, Rodriguez broke the tape in
the 3200m at 9:55.2, 19 seconds
faster than his previous best and
the first time he had broken ten
minutes.
"It's funny, but after finishing
that Whopper after the mile, I

had enough energy in the 3200 to
start out ahead and stay there,"
commented Rodriguez.
At Regionals, Rodriguez captured the gold and silver in the
1600m and 3200m respectively.
In the l 600m, Rodriguez was
caught between two Cudahy runners before the straightaway in
the last lap. Upon entering the
straightaway, Rodriguez pulled
ahead of the first Cudahy runner
and broke the tape.
Both Gayheart, with 15.9, and
Bradley, with 50.8, took third in
the 55m high hurdles and the
400m dash respectively.
Moving on to Sectionals on
May 28, Rodriguez finished
fourth in the 1600m with 4:27 .9
and third in the 3200 with
10:08.3. Bradley clocked in at
51.2, good for fourth in the 400m.
"The meet results during the
outdoor season were disappointing since they don't reflect the
hard work we put into the practices," concluded Gayheart.

BIG 9 OUTSTRIDES TROJAN

F ielding a team of
fifteen members, varsity
track advanced two to
State from six qualifiers.

Situated on the Tremper track
and field, the Big 9 Conference
meet yielded only three bronze
and one gold medals. The Trojans
came in fifth with 45 points, as
Horlick claimed the championship with 135 points on May 20.
Peppur Chambers won two of
the bronzes as she qualified herself in both the long and triple
jump. Her 15-12 1/2 long jump
was a foot and 3 / 4 inch from the
gold taken by Nicole Woods of
Horlick. Her triple jump measured 33-3 l /2.
Leaping off her left foot, Claudette Reams ascended to a height
of 4-10 and brought the bronze
down in the high jump.
Firing up at the start of the
3200m run, Stacy Goetz gradually built up distance between herself and the rest of the pack.
Goetz broke the tape in 12: 16.2,

ahead by 26 seconds.
At the May 26 Regional meet,
Tremper sprinted to a 48 point
sixth place as Horlick won its own
Regional with a 142.
Demere Kentcy dashed to a
13.2 fourth in the IOOm dash.
Kentcy also clocked in third with
teammates Marie Spann, Kathy
Dicello and Chambers. Their time
of 55.2 in the 400m relay was
their best time of the season.
Reams took second in the high
jump, just grazing the bar at 5-0.
Besides posting a third in the
long jump with a 16-10 3/4,
Chambers celebrated as she broke
her previous school record of 34-7
l /2 set at the Oak Creek Relays.
She hopped, skipped and jumped
to a 35-6 l /2 record and a Sectional qualification.
Goetz, starting off slow and
easy in the 3200m, didn't push for

Keeping the pace for the first mile, Stacy
Goetz places twelfth as she strides to her
personal record of 12:01 in the State
3200m competition .

In heat of the 400m relay, Kathy Dicello
takes the baton from Marie Spann to finish fifth with 54.6 at Regionals.

Torie for a lead in the start of the 1600m,
Amy Edwards cuts in around the corner to
pace in a 6:03 sixth at the May 11 Kenosha County Invitational.

a lead until the last 200 meters.
At 12:41.1, she kicked in 13 seconds ahead of the runner up,
Marsha Kuhl of Case. Goetz added to the list of Sectional qualifiers consisting of Reams, Chambers, Spann, Dicello and Kentcy.
"At the last half lap I said to
mys.!lf, 'I went this far, I better
keep going,"' said Goetz.
Two days later the list dwindled
down to two for the trail to State.
Chambers and Goetz bested their
best again at the Sectional meet.
Chambers launched herself to a
35-6 l /2 jump, placing second
while Goetz ran another solo race
in 12: 14 to add to her collection of
gold medals.
"I wanted to go to State for my
senior year, but somehow I just
didn't get there. At least Stacy
and Peppur will have the experience to lead the team," said
Kentcy.
On June 6, Chambers and
Goetz beat their personal records
again at the State meet. Chambers finished tenth in the triple
jump with a distance of 35- l 0 3 /
4. Goetz strided to a 12:01 time,
placing twelfth.
"At Regionals, our 400 relay
didn't qualify, but the girls still
did well considering our team
only consisted of fifteen members," summarized Dicello.

As she arches her back to clear the bar,
Claudette Reams jumps a successful 4-8
attempt at the Park Invitational on April
14 to place fourth.

Running in stride with Bradford's Sonja
Hennig, Demere Kentcy starts the first leg
of the 400m relay to a 53.03 third place at
the Lady Trojan Invitational.

We didn't do too bad considering our experience
and coaching and lack of
experience."

ONE-RUN LOSSES STEAL SEASON

A fter five one-run
losses, an unearned run
stole Darryl Shampine's
no-hit win and led to a
1-0 defeat to Bradford.

No other team has felt that
"winning isn't everything, it's the
only thing" as much as the Trojan
varsity baseball team. Of their 16
conference games, the Trojans
ended up on the wrong side of the
win in one run games, seven times.
The season opener found the
Trojans in a devastating 11-3 loss
to Big 9 conference rival Racine
Horlick on April 7.
A voiding the big mistakes on
April 16, Tremper tightened its
defense and scored five times in
the fifth inning to get revenge
against the Horlick Rebels, 7-2.
Going the distance in his first appearance, Darryl Shampine
walked only four while striking
out seven.
Against Milwaukee South on
May 4, a seventh inning groundball that hit the first base bag
ruined Darryl Shampine's solid
one-run game.
Tremper drew first blood in the
top of the second when pinch-runner Tom Zuelsdorf scored on an
error. The Trojans held off the
South Cardinals until the last inning.
South's lead-off hitter, J .R.

West, blooped a single to left, advanced to second on a sacrifice fly
and scored on Don Klusman's single to right. "We thought we had
him at the plate," said Coach Lee
Hlavka.
The next batter punched a single which hit the bag at first and
bounded over first-baseman Paul
Umsheid's head . Klusman scored
on the play, giving South a 2-1
victory.
Hoping to improve on an 8-6
record, Tremper took on the redhot l 0-4 Red Devils from crosstown rival Bradford High School
at Simmons Field on May 12.
Number one pitcher Darryl
Shampine toed the rubber, hoping
to boost his 3-3 record and lower
his E.R.A.
Despite hurling the second nohitter in the 22-year TremperBradford series history, Shampine
and the Trojans lost to the Devils
1-0.
Bradford's sole run came when
the Devil's shortstop Jeff Ross
scored on a double play. Ross,
who had reached first on a catcher's interference call, had stolen
second and advanced to third on a

passed ball.
"I never thought that the single
run in the second inning would
beat us, but we just failed to get
the clutch hits with runners in
scoring position," said Shampine
whose l.40 earned-run-average
gained him team All Conference
honors.
The Central Falcons ended the
Trojans' state hopes with a 7-1
wipe-out, in spite of Shampine's
presence on the mound .
To start off the Central second,
Dave Jablonski reached first on
an error. Scott Seitz then stepped
to the plate and clobbered a 3-1
fastball over the left-center field
fence. Central led 2-0.
In the third, Falcon Pat Roberts singled with one out. Lynn
Carlson stroked a ground-rule
double which advanced Roberts
to third . Two bloop singles scored
Carlson and Roberts. Mike Hensegen added to the onslought with
a three-run blast over the left field
fence. Central led 7-0.
Coach Lee Hlavka called on
lefty Scott Durkee to relieve the
weary Shampine after 3 l /3 innings. Durkee, who went 4-0 on
the season, pitched the remainder
of the game, giving up no runs on
only three hits.
The 7-1 loss to the Falcons ended the Trojan conference season
at 9-6 and 9-7 overall.

0NE GAME SHORT OF STATE BERTH
f
or Tremper, 13 hits
and six Central errors
translated into a 16-0
shutout on May 26 for
the WIAA Regional title.

Capturing third place in the
Big 9 Conference, the girls softball season revolved around
games against Bradford and Case.
Hopes for a trip to State doubled
at the Bradford vs. Tremper
match up on May 28. After
pounding out 13 hits in their win
against Salem Central on May 26
in WIAA Regionals, the Trojans
came up with 13 more to clobber
Bradford 12-3.
The Trojans drew seven walks
and capitalized on three errors.
Tremper, the visitor on its home
field by virtue of a coin flip, batted around in the first. Eight more
girls wenno bat in the second as
the Trojans settled comfortably
into a 7-0 lead.
Left fielder Tracy Larson singled and centerfielder Stacy Stanich walked in the first. Catcher
Angela Ruffolo singled in a run
while Tammy Wright's ground
out scored one. Pitcher Becky
Bertog doubled in another. Shortstop Kim Heard scored on a wild
pitch, and Larson scored on Ruffolo's ground out to give Tremper
its 12 runs in the sixth.
In the WIAA Sectionals at
Lewis Field, the Case Eagles
brought on tough defense on June
2 to beat the Trojans 3-0 and to
knock them out of the State finals.
The entire tournament resembled last year's Sectional. The

State tournament berth.
Tremper lost at the plate. Case
pitcher Cynde Szaradowski mustered more than the Trojans could
chew.
"Szaradowski's a good pitcher.
We had a hard time bringing the
bats around to connect. Our hitting comes and goes," stated cocaptain Stanich.
Leading in the defense, Stanich
made a shoestring catch in center
and rallied the throw to the plate
in the first inning to stop a run
from scoring. Stanich then made
a running snag for out two, and
Denean Sturino marked up a
strike out to retire the side.
Finishing 12-6, the Trojan softball team ventured to Sheboygan
for the first year on May 9 for the
Redman Classic. While traveling
on the bus, the engine caught fire
near Port Washington. The Trojans evacuated the bus and waited
for two and a half hours for another to arrive.
The frustration continued when
tournament officials told them
they had to forfeit their game
against Stevens Point, thus sending them to the losers' bracket of
the eight-team event.
"We all got sunburns waiting
out in the open near the road, but
finally the bus came. We arrived
at Sheboygan at 11 :30, after leaving Kenosha at seven in the morning," said co-captain Larson.
Tremper finally took to the diamond and posted an 8-7 victory
over Denmark. Third baseman

Sue Palubicki delivered the game
winning RBI with a homerun in
the eighth inning. Winning pitcher Bertog also homered in the
sixth.
The Trojans dropped a 9-8 decision to Sheboygan South in
their second game. Palubicki
slugged a three-run homer, and
Wright doubled twice for
Tremper.
The Trojans' five losses came
against Bradford, Park, Bay View
and Case. Tremper dropped its
toughest loss to Bradford on April
13. The visiting Red Devils came
up with the winning answer in a
come-from-behind, 13-12, eighth
inning victory.
Both teams were scoreless until
the sixth when Bradford put one
runner across the plate, Tremper
two.
Down 11-10 in the bottom of
the seventh inning, Palubicki
cracked a long fly ball to deep
left-center field, driving in Bertog
with the tying run. Palubicki's hit
was long enough to be a homerun,
but she stumbled and fell after
rounding third base. Before she
could run to third, Bradford
thirdbaseman Theresa Spallato
tagged her out.
Bradford scored the winning
runs in the eighth on a line drive
to center field .
"Defense was not a problem for
us," commented Coach Candy
Stein, "but they placed hits in the
outfield that just killed us."

Holding Bradford to ffre hits on May 28
pitcher Denean Sturino strikes out th~ bat'.
ter for a 12-3 victory.

"Our defense was pretty
consistent, but we were
weak in hitting."

BIG 9 BOGEYS BLITZ GOLFER

S ix

different medalists stroke 7-2 season but
stumble to fifth at Big 9
Conference meet.

With only one returning letterman, the Trojan golf team fielded
four novice varsity players in Big
9 competition. With six men vying
for five varsity spots, fierce competition in practice sharpened
skills for dual meets. At least one
time during the season, each of
the six players scored a medalist
round.
In the first dual meet of the
season, the squad challenged Horlick, a State qualifier from the last
three years. With the top four
scores, the team tallied a 208, the
worst showing of the season.
"The cold and windy conditions, combined with the fact we
had just come back from spring
break, caused us to play way below our averages," explained
number-one player Tim Myer.
Bouncing back at Grant Park,
the team blew away South by 67
strokes . Number-two player
Andy Adamson scored a medalist
round with a one-over par 39. His
birdie on the 220-yard eighth hole

evened out two bogeys.
"Since the course was par 38
with short holes, we had an easy
time scoring," said Erik Jensen.
After beating Bay View by 28
strokes, the squad psyched-up to
beat Park by two strokes, at
Park's home course, Meadowbrook. First-year team member
Wayne Breska scored a 40, good
for medalist. Breska tallied four
pars and five bogeys.
"The Park victory was most important because we beat a Racine
school on their home course. This
put us in a mental position to win
the rest of our dual meets," commented Coach Paul Fennema.
Facing Bradford, Erik Jensen
shot 42 to claim medalist for the
meet. Jensen nearly greened his
second shot to the par 5 number
two. He then chipped on and in
for a birdie. With a par on 3, Jensen bogeyed out for 6 over par.
The team then went on to win
their last four meets. Against
Tech on May 20, the Trojans had

s

their best showing of the year.
"Even though we didn't have
our lowest score of the year, it was
still the best meet because the par
at Bristol Oaks is 36," explained
Larry Jonaus.
Wayne Breska and Larry Jonaus scored season-best rounds,
each coming in at 3 over par, 39.
After bogeying the first three
holes, Jonaus played even par
golf. He did birdie holes 4 and 6.
Against Pulaski, Chris Wade
scored a medalist 41 while Jonaus
trailed behind with 42 at Muskego Lakes.
The team then drove into Regional competition. The 95-degree heat and the 18-hole tournament took its toll in fatigue, causing a fourth-place finish. Andy
Adamson missed qualifying for
State by one stroke. With a 46 in
the front nine, Adamson came in
with 38 on the back nine for an
84.
"I was not putting well on the
front nine. If I had eliminated one
of my three putts on the front, I
would have made it to State," said
Adamson.
Moving into the Big 9 Conference meet, the team held third
place. Again, the heat and 18-hole
fatigue caused high rounds. The
team slipped from third to fifth in
the Conference.
"When we came into Regionals
with a six-match winning streak,
we felt confident that we could
hold third place, or even move up
to second. Unfortunately, we fell
apart," said Chris Wade.
Throughout the season, though,
individual efforts gave the team
the edge over competition .

\

Chipping onto Bristol Oaks' par 4 ninth
hole, Erik Jensen hits the green in regulation to score 42 against Bradford.

Against Pulaski at Muskego Lakes, Chris
Wade putts in a bogey on the fourth hole
on his way to a medalist 41 .

Losing only to Bradford,
Tremper's perfect season balanced on an umpire's decision at
the plate. In the game, co-MVP's
Jerry Fuhrer and Ryan Turner led
the defense at shortstop and firstbase in the sole 7-5 defeat. Sharing the pitching rotation with
Scott Atkins, Fuhrer and Turner
also contributed to the 15 victories in the nearly perfect season.
Scoring seven runs in the bottom of the seventh inning against
Milwaukee South, the junior varsity softball team claimed a close
contest, 16-14. Firstbaseman Jenny Madsen and shortstop Kris
Ryan posted five hits each, while
Kelly McDevitt shared the pitching duties.
Taking a fourth at the Racine/
Kenosha J.V. Invitational with
197 points, John Murray, averaging 47.5, and Don Sikora, averaging 49.6, led the golf team to a
Conference third. The junior varsity golf team sank four birdies
out of 819 total holes played in
dual meet competition.
Although half of the J.V. team
competed on the junior varsity
and varsity levels, the J.V. track
team still posted a first place at
the Case Triangular. Winning the
Big 9 J.V. pole vault title, Tracy
Kreuser leaped to 10'6" to lead
the Trojans to eighth place.
Doubles champions Jeff Evans
and Dan Holman at number one
doubles and Steve Yoo and Vince
Rizzo at number two doubles took
opponents to the net as the J.V.
tennis team claimed the title at
the J. V. Conference meet.
Many junior varsity games go
by unnoticed as varsity sports
break headlines. Yet, J.V.'s golden moments cut the edge for varsity competition.
"The competition at the J.V.
level is just as intense as in varsity
games. Without preparation in
J. V., people would choke in varsity games," summarized Evans.

Scoring a 5.3 on the unerens on Dec. 5,
Tracy Gossett swings into a kip at the

Aside from cartoons, quiz shows, such as
Jeopardy, tested the intellects of those who
wanted to put their history classes to use.
"Jeopardy is the most challenging of all the
quiz shows. You can tell by the intelligence
of the contestants and the categories that it
takes more than the average guy to win,"
said senior Justin Schaubel, spurring a carload of lunch-goers "to answer in question
form."
Next to cartoons and quiz shows, programs such as Divorce Court and The People's Court triggered laughter by their portrayal of serious subjects. "Watching these
people scream at each other and make fools
out of themselves cracks me up. It beats
sitting at school and listening to teachers
scream at me," mused junior Tom Larsen.

countless students crashed in front of the
tube after school for some instant entertainment. Contrary to the logical, ordered scenario of school, the cartoon scene cooled off
overheated minds.
"I walk in the house, turn on the TV, grab
a six pack of Pepsi and kick back on the
couch to watch the Thundercats," commented senior Mike Lenegar.
For a few students, after-school cartoons
grabbed top priority as soon as they opened
the front door. Senior Dave Neumann confessed, "I'm addicted to the Jetsons." He

situations.
"The first time both Helen Stankus and
I went behind the wheel with our driving
instructor, she was driving. When she got
to my house, I went out to the car wearing
my football helmet for a joke!" remembered senior John Steinbrink.
After incidents such as these, teens' parents reluctantly handed over the keys to
their teens.
"It took forever for me to convince my
parents that I was a safe driver. I've never
had a problem since then," concluded senior Julie Bonaretti.
Venturing into the stream of traffic, teens
who aspired to possess a Wisconsin probationary operator's license narrowly escaped
accidents.
"As I was approaching a stoplight there
was a car stalled in front of me. I moved to
the other lane to avoid him. The only problem
was that I didn't check my blind spot or turn
on my blinker before I moved! My instructor
was really mad, but at least, I didn't hit anyone or anything," recalled junior Laura Anderson.
While some teens faced traffic problems,
others just faced d_riving problems.
"I almost turned the Driver Ed car onto
someone's front yard. Luckily, I caught myself in time. After that incident, my driving
instructor said there was no way I'd ever get
my license. I really showed him when I got it
the first time!" laughed senior Jo.hn Serpe.

"Hey, hey, what happened to your neck
there? Did you have a little encounter with

temporarily ignored the academic subject at

Turtle necks, starched collars and designer
scarves aroused suspicion as to whether the
wearer sought fashionable flair or convenient
cover-up.
When love bites surfaced, the sales undoubtedly went down for the lollipop. The
not-so-innocent clung to their high-top necklines in hopes to hide the "not-so-slick-hick."
"I'll never forget the time I was invariably
forced to hide my neck. I was buttoned up for
days," confessed an anonymous junior.
Guilty students created various excuses for
the passion-produced blemishes. Getting attacked by a vacuum cleaner and a fierce
pinch by an uncle dominated the excuse lis1.

Some attackees advertised their marks not

necklaced necklines and the red badge of
courage prevailed with the V-neck. These
brave individuals sometimes suffered less torment. "They really don't bother me. If that's
what people like to do, then let them do it!"
commented junior Erin Przlomski.
While some red necks spent Sunday afternoons analyzing Spanish novels, neck-nipped
scholars scoped the fashion racks so that their
humiliating hickey went unnoticed. Others
hit racks for V-neck shirts, not bothering to
conceal, while others pledged never to let it
happen again.

As students closed the '85-'86 school
year, June carried summer fads in shorts,
tanks and plastic paraphanelia.
Bright yellow novelty signs trimmed in
black screamed phrases to passing motorists
such as "Ex-boyfriend in trunk" and "Teenager at Wheel." These signs of wit and humor hit the peak of popularity in mid-summer. Yet by October, drivers flung these as
well into the trunk or, at least, the garbage
can.
Catching the final wave of sign mania,
senior Robin Pious used the diamonds for
Homecoming Queen campaign buttons
stating "Robin on Board. " "I thought Robin's idea was really creative. Her buttons
caught my attention right away," commented senior Julie Beardsley.
The original signs displayed "Baby on
Board" to inform rescuers that a small child
might be in an accident. "The signs started

out as a good idea, but they got out of
hand," added senior John Serpe.
Of 180 total sophomores, juniors and seniors polled, 15 percent reflected that the
wacky signs added something amusing to
motorists' car windows, while the 85 percent
considered these phrases a waste of cash.
"I just don't see any purpose in the signs.
They just take up space and block vision,"
stated sophomore Joe Kadamian.
Those 15 percent that liked novelty signs
ranked "Who cares who's on board" and
"Let's party" as their favorites in a landslide vote. Three-fourths of the 15 percent
checked that one sign per car filled their
needs.
"Although the signs are interesting to
read, more than one could cause an accident. I've found myself paying more attention to novelty signs than the road," concluded sophomore Shawna Kalbfell.

On her w•y to school Friday, Dec. 5, junior Allison
Melton hops into her Jeep which displays the most
popular Trojan sign, "LET'S PARTY."

Brothers
on boards
From showing off for neighborhood kids to
the seriousness of a city competition, junior
Corey and sophomore Cody Hudson accepted no substitutes for skateboarding.
Skating on a casual basis, Corey whisked
through side streets and parking lots. His
younger brother Cody, though, stepped onto
his board at a more serious level.
"I was in a competition on October 31, at
Southport Rigging, and I took fourth place
out of about 25-30 other skateboarders. It
was a street-style competition, which was
when the skater takes his board and skates in
a big open space and does all the 'hot' tricks
that he can, such as inverts. Inverts are when
you do a handstand on you board, but with
only one hand, while your board is moving.
The area is crowded by spectators, competitors and judges," explained Cody.
Southport Rigging and Ski and Sport Cha-

let stocked skateboards, and Southport Rigging also carried skating accessories such as
"Bones" wheels and T-shirts. All displayed
the skull and cross-bones logo. Even sunglasses, suntan lotion and tennis shoes with
brand names such as "Bad Boy Club" and
"Life's a Beach" were skateboarding necessities.
Skateboards came in different styles, sizes
and decor and the prices ranged from $80 to
$160, depending on the quality and style of
the board.
One board was not enough for Cody. "I
have four boards, three which are good
boards used for competitions or for 'sessions,'
when a group of skaters get together and
skate all day. I also have a naked board which
I use for practicing, so I don't mess up my
good boards. My best boards are a Brand X
Skull Skate and a Town & Country,'' stated
Cody. A naked board is a plain board with no
fancy designs, stickers or decals.
For Corey, one Vision board was plenty. "I
don't skate as often as my brother, and I'm
also not as dedicated to my board as he is, so
I don't need more than one," Corey stated.
Skateboarding brought Corey and Cody
closer than just brothers.
"We're friends, too. We really get along
well. I never really mind if Cody wants to
come along with me and a couple of my
friends to skate or just hang out," admitted
Corey, the older brother.

Corey Hudson practices his invert in the aisles of Southport Rigging.

Easy
way out
"You cheated! You're a cheater! Nobody
cheats in my room and gets away with it. Go
to 109!" echoed through a third hour Math
Analysis Regular class.
Inventing techniques for cheating, some
teens managed to escape the wrath of being
caught. Other teens blushed in embarrassment while enraged teachers confiscated test
papers to mark zeros at the top of them.
"Last year I was absent the day before the
test. I couldn't study because I didn't have
my book. When I found out I had to take the
test that day, I panicked and wrote three
linear-motion formulas on a calculator. Mr.
Tuttle busted me during the test, and I got a
zero. It lowered my grade one letter for on
the quarter. It was so stupid to even try it,"
said a senior who chose to remain anonymous.
As cheat sheets backfired, students racked
their brains for other ways to make the grade.
For some, copying the brain of the class
raked in A's on tests. Question marks from

the teacher as to why the answers were so
similar spelled no credit for others who copied.
Still other teens discovered they had all the
right answers for the wrong test. "In my
Chemistry classes, I give two different tests,
one for every other person. Students don't
realize this and decide to copy their neighbor's paper. I find that this is a good way to
catch cheating," remarked Mr. Dennis
Glynn.
Leaving notebooks and papers beside
desks, and scribbling notes on hands and feet
were other plots student dreamed up. Another teacher devised a cheat-proof system
for scheming test-takers. "In my third hour
honors English class with Miss Werve, we
have to empty pockets and shake out sweaters
for any signs of cheating. She even checks
every person for notes written on hands and
desks," remarked first semester student sophomore Alex Potente.
A junior's scheme washed away hopes for a
passing grade. "I spent . 45 minutes writing
notes on my hand for a French II test. I
looked down at my hand during the test and
almost died when I realized that I had
washed it off. I wasted so much time and
didn't get anything out of it."
Students learned that hitting the books and
studying hard assured non-zero grades.
"Since cheating always ends up in trouble, I
use the time to study for tests instead of devising a fool-proof cheating scam,"concluded
senior John Rasch.

Determined to pass a Comp. 10 1ocabular.1 test. a sophomore substitutes a chea t sheet for hours of stud yi ng.

As graduation loomed ahead, seniors anticipated the freedom of no books in the "real
world." However, studying for an Economics
test took on new meaning to upperclassmen
after pondering the consequences of losing a
required credit and receiving an invitation to
summer school to earn a diploma.
With the building pressure from both parents and teachers, seniors sometimes gave in
to peer pressure by ignoring studies. Senioritis caused those time-outs.
Senioritis blossomed with spring's warm
weather as some students stepped up to home
plate or lounged near Lake Michigan shores
before adding finishing touches on the Physics term paper due on April 2.
Even though Mr. Tuttle reminded us every
day for two months about our papers, the
weekend before it was due, I lived at the
Parkside library for about 12 hours of the
night," recalled senior Mark Hervat.
Escaping from homework was only one
symptom of senioritis. "There's days when I
just can't get out of bed on time, so I don't. I
check in at lunch when I feel better," said
senior Kirstin Powell.
These exhausted seniors arrived at school
with blood shot eyes and half-done Geometry. Such latecomers paid the price of missing
important class discussions and, occassionally, a pop quiz.
When selecting courses for senior year as
juniors, some Trojans had planned ahead to
combat senioritis. "I decided to take it easy
on myself and make room for a study hall to
catch up on the homework I didn't do the
night before," explained senior Julie Peltier.
Even though senioritis struck yearly, it
seemed impossible to evade its slump entirely. Those seniors who straggled into morning
classes without polished assignments dragged
with senioritis symptoms until Friday signaled relief. Prom, Senior Banquet, the Last
Fling, all those Friday frenzies demanded
high energy.
After all, what was being a senior all about
any way? Not Math Analysis, French IV or
British Writers. But then, Monday ... oh, no
... Monday, once again, pushed homework
squarely in front of droopy-eyed seniors
dazed by senioritis.
At. the attendance window third hour, junior John
Shlack signs in after a late morning as senior Sandy
Hartnell works as the attendance aide.

You Can Make a Difference
rrldeas won't keep. Something must be done
about them."
(Alfred North Whitehead)
Years ago, Joseph Johnson, a young man from
Milwaukee, had a brilliant idea that his bosses
instantly rejected - as so many brilliant ideas
are.
So, he and a co-worker began to turn his idea
into a reality. The two started a company that
would make and sell wrenches with interchangeable sockets that would "snap-on" to a
wrench handle. Early mechanics liked the new
wrenches, and the company grew.
Today, Snap-on Tools Corporation is a Fortune
500 company and is known around the world
for its quality products.
You, like young Joe, can make a difference.
Snap-on Tools Corporation applauds you the members of the 1987 Graduating Class and your ideas!

substitutes
Upon discovering a substitute at the desk,
students instantly declared "open season,"
anything that could go, went. Students, in
particular, understood that in laying down
the law for work on-time and without excuses, there was no substitute for the regular
classroom teacher.
As the pressures of Homecoming preparation increased and the homework load
soared, some students gratefully accepted the
substitute's presence.
"I was given an extension on my Comp. for
College essay because my teacher understood
how busy I was with Homecoming. I planned
to turn in the assignment the Monday after
Homecoming, but I didn't quite make it. I
was relieved, though, to find a substitute in

the class that Monday morning," laughed
candidate Helen Stankus.
Substitutes, though, often rose beyond student babysitter, knew what was going on and
how to play the game, and even substitute
taught. sophomore Becky Werve admitted,
"One time I completed my English assignment during class and turned it in to the sub
when the bell rang. The teacher asked me
why my assignment was late. I told him I
forgot to hand it in. He accepted my assignment, but I don't think he believed me."
Junior Michelle Stanczak explained how
her plan backfired. "I told the sub that I had
left my assignment in my locker, even though
I really hadn't finished it. He told me I could
go to my locker and get it. I just smiled and
chuckled inside knowing he saw right through
me." Thus, students realized that all the old
cliches about substitute teachers are not true.
Some students fared better than others
when substitute teachers called roll. "When I
had a substitute teacher for Geometry, I liked
him better than my regular teacher. For some
reason I understood his teaching methods
better," commented junior Tara Raymond.
Realizing that there is no substitute for the
real thing, a classroom teacher, and taking
advantage of that fact, Tremperites dodged
"goose eggs" in the grade book. As for the
substitute, anything goes, even a day of iearning, like every other school day.

Spcal.inl! on Mr. Frank Madsen s behalf at the Januar'I'
S<·hool Board Meetinf!, junior Scott Walkins inform.s
members about students' views of substitutes.

All educators are concerned about attendance. Indeed, the frustration of the absence
syndrome afflicted both students and teachers.
Tremper fares an average daily attendance
of 93 percent. Although 93 percent is considered an A- for school work, it still meant the
school averaged 105 students absent per day.
During the week of final exams, January
21-23, the percentage of students ranged
from 1.68 percent to 1.97 percent.
"January 21, 22 and 23 experienced absent
rates under two percent. Wellness has suddenly returned! What's the secret? Final exams. All students had to take finals or fail the
course. Wellness rapidly disappeared over the
weekend and January 27, first day of second
semester, over eight percent were absent!"
summarized Assistant Principal James
Marescalco.
"By being absent for various reasons, I
can't seem ·to find the time to complete my

II

late assignments. In the long run, this affects
my final grades," commented junior John
Schlack.
Excessive absence peaked on Friday, May
22, when seniors declared an "unofficial official" senior skip day. A whopping 11 percent
called in absent.
"The night before my mom and I discussed
senior skip day. I explained to her that it was
something everyone does. To prevent me
from getting in trouble in 109 she called in
and told the office I wasn't feeling well," said
an anonymous senior skipper.
Faculty combatted the desire to cut out by
giving tests, for example, Calculus, Physics
and Comp. for College.
"We need to sound the school bell about
the importance of regular attendance. We
need to convince everyone that everyday is a
final exam day," concluded Mr. Marescalco.

Arriring late for Matb Analysis, senior Melissa Chell
pauses at the to explain about her jammed locker to Mr.
Charles Short.

From the Helix and the Spree to the Elite
and the Aero, mopeds zipped their wheels
around K-town to transport Tremperites.
Low gasoline prices and high mileage attracted students to the two-wheelers. However, purchase prices ranged from $250 for a
1981 Yamaha Towny to $2,648 for 1986
Honda Helix.
"As a way to work, my parents bought me
a $1,700 1985 Honda Elite 150 Deluxe. For a
mere $1. 75 to fill the tank, I can cruise 140
miles, about four trips back and forth to Six
Flags Great America," commented junior
Dale Daulo.
Safety precautions such as helmet and eye
protection, safe speeds and a secure course
engaged students' minds.

"In February, while riding in the snow, I
spilled on the ice and broke the back tail blinker.
Luckily, I wasn't hurt but ended up paying $50
for repair," said senior Amy Riese.
Students based scooter selection on state licensing, also. Those who chose bikes over the 49
CC and 30 mph scooter limit held a 6-month
cycle permit as well as a probationary driver's
license.
On a sunny Wednesgay, May 27, 13
mopeds filled the designated cycle parking area
compared to eight motorcycles.

Learing school at 1:45 P.M., senior Brady Mc-Carron
heads home after clarifying weekend plans with friends in

Particularly on the first day of school,
sophomores feared falling into the clutches of
junior and senior pranks. The terror of walking into a class of junior jeers or getting lost
with senior directions put some new Trojans
in a worried state.
From a survey taken of honors, regular,
and basic sophomore English classes, getting
lost topped the list of fears for 45 out of 90.
Even though it was the most anticipated difficulty, it came true for only some. "I asked a
junior or senior how to get to the Commons
from the second floor west side, and who
knows where I ended up," recalled sophomore Tracy Kreuser.
Another fear most listed on the survey was
getting teased about sophomore rank.
Not all sophomores had trouble on the first
day. Some left Tremper at 2:30 p.m. relieved.
"Tremper is not as big as I thought. I found
my classes with no trouble," commented
sophomore Heidi Cowen.
As the first day rolled into the second,
butterflies vanished, and sophomores caught
on to the swing of things.

Zielsdorf.

The majority of the time having a last
name begin with Z did not cause problems
any different than for a name beginning with
A, P, or S.
However, as graduation approached, senior Jeanette Zunde joked over her predicament, "My name is the last one of the whole
school, and I'll be the very last person to walk
across the stage to get my diploma. It'll be
quite a wait!"

was in alphabetical order.
Occasionally though, teachers turned the
tables and surprised students with Z names.
"Sometimes when we have to give oral reports, teachers will start at the end of the
alphabet, and I find myself going first! " explained junior Gina Zeyen.
From first with oral reports to last when
regular alphabetical order prevailed, students
did survive last names beginning with Z.
"My friends sometimes call me 'and' because when teachers take attendance, they go
through all the names and, when they get to
me, they say 'and .. . Zielsdorf.' So my

Fishing for ways to stay out that extra hour
or so, teens got never-fail advice from friends
or excuses to pull one over on their moms or
dads, who not-so-patiently waited.
"Telling my mom or dad that I'm at a
friend's watching a movie or that I need more
than a half hour to get something to eat after
the late show at the Cinema's usually gives
me a little extra time beyond curfew," said
junior Allison Metten.
If little white lies bombed out, as a final
plea students tried using the line that "all my
friends can stay out late and I'll feel stupid if
they have to bring me home early."
When Trojans failed to plan in advance
and ended up coming home past their set
curfew, some slipped in without any notice
from slumbering parents.
Those whose parents inquired about their
lateness claimed they lost track of time or got

held up somehow. Or, if they drove, the ideal
excuse was that they had to take a ton of
people home who lived way out in the boondocks, wa)' "ut past the I.
As the student slid into bed, a sigh of relief
and a mental note registered about not using
that excuse again too soon.

Big time
brush-offs
When teens turned on unwanted admirers
or a relationship just did not click anymore,
students brushed up on brush-off maneuvers.
To Jet that someone down easy, avoid contact became the name of the game. Trojans
looked the other way in the halls in an attempt to ignore the hopeless situation. Some
clung to someone else, even "just a friend,"
when the determined follower passed by for
the fifth time in six class breaks. When that
did not work, the pursued rerouted his way to
class by zipping down a flight of stairs and
then doubling back just to get to a class two
doors down.
Later when the phone rang off the wall, the
reluctant teen begged family members to say
that he was not gone.
"Telling someone you don't like, to call you
when you know you won't be home usually
gets the message across because they get frustrated after a while," commented junior Jeff
Evans.
Others became obnoxious and made it perfectly clear through a confrontation that they
wanted the pursuer to bug-off. Telling someone to stay away, take a hike, get Jost broke
hearts but usually took care of the problem.
When the run-around methods failed and
being rude fell through, teens sat down and
leveled with the admirer. When the message
"just friends" trounced tender feelings,
crushes lingered, but the game of hide and
seek ended.

Marcy Slocum 1
On May 11, Marcy Slocum,
15, passed away due to a serious case of pneumonia. She
was a tenth grader at Tremper
High School. Slocum also attended Jane Vernon Elemetary
School and Lance Junior High
School.
"All through her life she battled with muscular dystrophy
and later with epilepsy, but she
never gave up," said sophomore Pam DeVuyst.
Slocum enjoyed foods class,
computer drawing and crafts.
English was her favorite subject. Every summer Slocum
went to summer camp for the
handicapped and participated
in the olympics held there. She
won many awards and hung
them in her room.
"To me, Marcy was a teacher. For the 13 years I've known
her, she never gave up. She
taught me to hold on and never
lose the spirit inside me," said
sophomore Guin Mentink who
was a neighbor to Slocum.
E.E.N. classmates composed
the following memories about
Slocum: "She never Jost her
sense of humor through it all.
She loved to tease her little
brother, Tim, and even barricaded him in a closet once, us-

ing her wheelchair. She joked
with her classmates about her
favorite and least favorite
school lunches. When her
classmates had a crush on
someone, she was right in there
teasing them about their
choice of friends. When given
the same teasing, she would
shake her fist, move her chair
foward, and threaten 'I'll get
you!' topped off with sticking
her tongue out at the teaser.
We won't forget the mischevious twinkle in her eye. She
never gave up her independent spirit. Her nickname in
the P.H. class was 'Sneaker'
because her wheelchair could
move soundlessly up behind
someone she wanted to surprise."
On Tuesday, May 12, Principal Richard Regner announced over the P.A. the
death of Slocum and told the
student body that Slocum
would always be remembered.
"When I think of Marcy, I
think of courage and preserverence. We can all learn a lesson
from this young lady's short
life," Mr. Regner commented
as those who knew her reflected on her personal achievemen ts.

workers and procrastinators overcame work schedules, personality
conflicts and boy and girlfriend
problems to produce A Classic
Accepts No Substitutes.
Despite "Instant Classic" Tshirts bought by staffers, yearbookers struggled to meet deadlines from October to June to
prove the "instant" to be anything
but true.
After four weeks of constant instruction on layout design, photo
cropping and caption and headline counting, 16 anxious recruits
ventured into the Classic office to
begin the 296-page quest.
Yearbook overtook staffers'
free time as Business Managers
pestered them to finish selling
year-old Bikes candy bars, advertisements and Easter chocolates.
Yearbookers also soaped 121
grimy cars until an hour before
having to set up for the Classic

Dance on Sept. 27. Ironically, a
last minute complication washed
the carwash from McDonalds to
Hardees for a substitute turned
financial success.
Staffers repeatedly bellowed,
"I can't do anything without Mrs.
Jacoby at deadlines." However,

cure for senioritis and JAPitis

The pursuit for the best drove
some editors and staffers to leave
unfinished work behind or drop
out because they could not meet
standards. The majority stuck it
out even though it took a few six
months to complete one doublepage-spread. Yet, every junior on
staff completed at least six layouts from copy to crops while the
seniors averaged three layouts a
piece.
A class conference with Principal Richard Regner resulted from
overdue work. Hearing that the
book was on schedule for a possible July 22 completion instead of
June 22., Regner, with Jacoby's

permanent file and froze permanent records to put the late staffers back on schedule.
A two-week-long deadline at
Julie Dickow's house found photos and dummies sprawled all
over as staff members pulled together to cap-off the year by June
26.
- Like the ideal staffer, Classes
writer, and future business manager, Julie Broesch sped through
Badger Boys and Robbie Ventura's Hockey spreads. While students completed final layouts,
Broesch pressed for the best by
writing and designing her way
through three layouts in five
weeks.
Student Life staffer Ann Miller
gave 110 percent by completing
nine layouts and by cheerfully
motivating people at 4 a.m. deadlines.
The trio of David Kexel, Brenda Baumgarten and Miller picked
up the slack from staffers who
skipped town without finishing
work. Demonstrating that they
are definite E-in-C material, the

three helped edit the year-end layouts.

Quality staff photographers not
only shot weekly assignments, but
also worked at least one lunch
hour lab weekly. It became easy
for most to rack up over 100 percent in credits.
Darkroom expertise with filters
repeatedly countered under overexposed negatives, and independence moved the staff from negative to negative. Personal commitment alone caused Sprague and
Christofferson to accept no substitutes for photography efforts.
As proofing pressed on after Ein-C's went to college in September, more than anyone else, Adviser Sandy Jacoby accepted no
substitutes for a quality yearbook.

good times, bad times, made
friends and lost friends. However,
it has been a truly classic year

which I would have never given
up because A Classic Accepts No

Substitutes.
As for me, Rick Matoska, correcting layouts on December 24
and writing staff copy after working 48 hours in four days proved
that A Classic Accepts No Substitutes. Still, if I had to do it all
over, I wouldn't want to do it with
another group of people. From
Ann Miller's "how are you doing
hun" at 4 a .m. to Jackie's (HER)
"Just Say No" campaigns, the
staff proved to be a colorful
group.
We all went through a lot together. With Mr. Richard
Regner's meetings and J's fiveminute talks that took 45 minutes,
I questioned my involvement in
this book often, but now it was all
worth it to show that we are indeed a classic and we do not accept any substitutes.
As for me, Jackie Pileski, I will
never forget the frenzy and frustrations of our classic deadlines,
Mark Hervat and Margo Vite's

cut-ups made all-nighters a bit
more bearable. The Dickow family's hospitality and air conditioning during the last deadline days
will never be forgotton along with
the cool, refreshing pool and silver, tanning rafts.
Although, at least at one time
or another, we all wanted to leave
our layouts and never come back,
time spent together was great
time. Helping each other was the
golden key since everyone knew
"We're all in this together."
Finally, we all wish to thank
Mrs. Sandy Jacoby for her complete dedication to the staff, particularly during the final deadline
at Dickow's. Though our weekend
deadlines lacked her, she was always willing to stay after school to
help, even if it meant forgetting to
pick up her daughter. With
Thursday-night work sessions,
weekend deadlines and week-long
deadlines, the staff and editors
worked together to pull off all 296
pages of A Classic Accepts No

Substitutes.

To edit the J!reat escapes la.1out, Editorsin-Chief Larry Jonaus and Jackie Pileski
reword a passage for coherence.

rend, tradition blend
to cap a classic year

Classics. Those things that were
never denied. Trojans blended tradition and trend for classic looks and
classic events.
Musical melodies entertained
New Yorkers and Southerners as A
Cappella choir flew to the Big Apple,
and Golden Strings strolled through
Florida. Meanwhile back in K-town,
the annual musical or variety show
stayed behind the auditorium curtains as administrators cancelled the
event.
The classic-tan beauty gleamed in
Trojan minds while the trendy technique for darkening skin sent seekers
to spas to bake under ultra-violet
rays, while ice fringed Lake Michigan.

tuxes and hoops with trendy twists

Brief Shining Moment, duos promenaded down a new auditorium ramp
to make a debut.
Powderpuff football pitted the
Red Scare against the Savage Seniors for what has become a classic
score of 0-0 and a repeat of Powderpuff '86.
More this spring than ever, the
minute Keno Drive-in's flick lighted
the screen on May 29, Trojans
parked in clumps of five . The management's efforts to break up socializing night-owls was just as futile as
in the 60's.
The closing of 1986-87 stung tassels around blue motar boards and
decked seniors and the ever-classic

graduation gowns with trendy jams
underneath. Numerous macho men
risked their reputations by attaching
hats with bobby pins.
Graduation parties marked up
Trojan calendars, and Saturday
morning brunches to Sunday afternoon buffets congratulated 427
grads who accepted Bradford's fieldhouse ceremony as a tradition. Some
seniors hit as many as seven parties
during the June 13 weekend. Relatives and friends arriving in groups
deposited traditional checks or
unique college knick-knacks.
Trend and tradition reigned in '87

Up to the last day administrators allowed no slides through

whose pass/fail status was in

Graduation for 427 ended daily high school experiences leaving choices to be made. College,
jobs and the military eased the
pain of the classic question,
"What are you doing after
graduation?"
Even in the future a classic
would accept no substitutes.

Tremper framed years of bittersweet events to guide the future.
Accepting no substitutes set students on the right path to goals.
The classic year closed with
the senior slogan "I Wanna Go
Back." However with lessons
learned and plans chalked out,
Trojans realized that it was the
best before, but what is to come

is even better because A Classic
Accepts No Substitutes.
