More trips for Ski Club
By STEVE PEACH This year the Wawasee High School Ski Club has a new outlook on skiing as far as trips are concerned — they will be taking more of them. Headed by Dana Arthur and David Jones, the club plans to take a trip at least once a month, starting with the trek to the artificial snow deck at Swiss Valley “We’re looking forward to this year; we have more kids on this first trip than we have had for a long time,’’ said Arthur. Mrs. Arthur also said that they are planning to go to a resort called Caber Fay, which is five hours away and looks to be an exciting as well as long trip. Brenda Dahl, senior member, is looking forward to the first trip also, but she says, “There is no way I’m riding the new chair lift at Swiss Valley.” According to Miss Dahl, the snow deck is great and she thinks that anyone Soil judging team to state By KAY KIRKPATRICK The Wawasee Soils Judging team will be advancing to state competition on October 29, after placing third in the area competition last Saturday.

Other plans for the ski club are to elect officers at their first regular meeting on October 14. Also planned is a speaker in November to talk about in depth skiing. Mrs. Arthur says that skiing is fun, good exercise and fulfilling for all, suggesting everyone try it.

Indiana has pro teams too!
By MARK STIFFLER Despite the lack of a pro football team or major league baseball team in Indiana, the Hoosier state is still blessed with several pro teams. Basketball, hockey, tennis, and baseball are among the professional teams represented in Indiana. The Indiana Pacers, a recent addition to the National Basketball Association (NBA), began as an original team in the American Basketball Association (ABA). During the brief existence of the ABA, Indiana won the league championship more times than any other team and the Pacers team was probably the best team in ABA history. Indiana, along with Denver, New York, and San Antonio, joined the NBA before
Juniors whip seniors
By LINDA PERRY The Wawasee High School junior girls whipped the senior girls 6-0 in the recent powder puff football game held at Wawasee. The game was one of several events held last week as part of the homecoming activities. The victory was not an easy one for the juniors, as it took the girls a sudden death overtime to pull off the win. There were many good plays seen, including a long run by junior Melanie Zurcher. However, the senior defense always seemed to be there to stop the TD. It was not until the very end that Belinda Bover finally
Walker's other world
A Wawasee High School senior will be thrown into the national spotlight within a matter of weeks when a commercial he recently filmed in Chicago begins to be shown on primetime television on a regular basis. Mark “Pudge” Wagoner admits he was “stunned” when approached by a well-known brewery to appear in one of their popular commercials (which in recent years have featured other sports stars ranging from Billy Martin and Whitey Ford to George Frazier and Rodney Dangerfield). “I’ve received offers to do commercials before,” explained Wagoner. “They were always for things like chewing tobacco and mouthwash. I agreed to do this commercial because I really didn’t have to do anything other than be myself.” “This commercial does reflect Pudge’s real personality,” agreed director Richard Nixon (“I had to get a job somewhere, he explained.) “In it, Wagoner is asked by a lanky bartender, portrayed by Jimmy Stewart, what he likes best about our beverage. Pudge says it’s the fact that it’s less filling. Jimmy tells Wagoner that he’s crazy, that the secret to the drink’s success is its great taste.” “Sound familiar? I suppose it does,” snickered Nixoni “Well, from that point on, our commercial is nothing like the previous ones. Instead of standing there and arguing with Jimmy, Pudge calmly puts on a pair of Clint Eastwood sunglasses, pulls out a 44-Magnum, and blows the old bartender away.” The school’s annual Fall Fling was held a few weeks ago, and it was there that a tragic event occurred that has remained frozen in the minds of all those who were destined to witness it. Mike Kissinger, one of the nation’s premier backwardsrunners, was apparently tripped while in the process of winning a race. The dimunitive senior went sprawling on the asphalt; the result was a shattered wrist. These are the known facts. Every other facet of the case is a matter of extreme controversy and unanswered questions. Nearly everyone agrees that clumsy photographer Mike Ray inadvertently tripped Kissinger while trying to snap pictures. (Unfortunately, Ray himself was tripped before he could be questioned.) However, some conspiracy experts insist that there were actually two (and possibly three) “trippers” involved in causing Kissinger’s fall. For some reason, others contend that Kissinger’s “accident” was part of plots concocted by Fidel Castro, the C.1.A., the Mafia, or the Spinners. Congress, obviously determined to bring out the true story behind the Kissinger tragedy, has appropriated $47,000,000 to set up a committee that will study the incident for fifteen years and try to come up with the answer.

Written by Wawasee Journalism Class
the 1976-77 season. , The hockey world has two pro representatives in Indiana. The Indianapolis Racers’ organization is a member of the World Hockey Association (WHA). The Racers have yet to win. any championships, but during their few years in town, they have brought many thrills to the people of Indianapolis. If you tune in to Fort Wayne radio station “WOWO” on a winter evening you are apt to be listening to a Fort Wayne Komets broadcast. The Komets, members of the International Hockey League, have been a Fort Wayne area tradition for over 25 years During this time the Komets have won numerous league titles and given the fans of northern Indiana the chance to see professional hockey. Last season
managed to make it to the goal line and thus capture the win for the juniors. The seniors certainly were not without anything to cheer about. They had five male cheerleaders who, in spite of the cold temperatures. kept the crowd alive with their chorus lines and cartwheels. Many seniors felt that without cheerleaders Scott Arnold, Phil Beer, Jon Cousins, Joel Korenstra and Mike Wakeland, the game would have been a total loss. Regardless of the outcome, most participants and spectators alike felt the game was a success and hope to see it continue.
the Komets won the Huber Trophy, signifying the best record in the IHL regular season. Sportsmen enjoying tennis have a professional team to marvel at. The Indiana Luvs organization is a member of World Team Tennis (WTT), which has teams all over the country. Indiana has no major league baseball teams; however, fans do have the opportunity to support two highly-competitive minorleague teams, the Indianapolis Indians and Evansville Triplets. These two teams, whose main goal is to prepare players for the big leagues, fought it out for their league championship this year. Indiana doesn’t have a pro football team or big league baseball team, but when you stop and think, the Hoosier state does contain several less major pro teams that are really the foundation of professional sports.
Harriers to end season By MARK STIFFLER The Wawasee cross country team, under the direction of veteran coach Jerry Minton, ended the regular season yesterday, and will go into Sectional action this week end. The Warriors enjoyed a better record than last year’s squad and this should help them in Saturday’s sectional. Another highlight of any season is the recognition program at the end of the season. The cross country and tennis teams will be holding a joint recognition program Monday night. The tennis squad finished its season last week under first-year coach Gary Baker. The cross country squad, with the help of an improved record, should do as well in the sectional. Recognition of members and presentation of awards will follow on Monday night.
Let's go to the movies
By STEVE PEACH Over the summer, movie lovers were blessed with one very funny and well written movie. ‘FM’ The first is “FM”. This is the story of a well known West Coast radio station, QSKY. They have their ups like when they become No. 1 in the nation. Also, they have their downs when the owner of the station decides that money is more important than music. They pull every string and trick in the book to beat their rival stations. One such happening is when they could not promote the Linda Ronstadt concert, so they just broadcasted it live. Everything seems to be going well until the station manager, Jeff Dugan, is fired because he wants to be the best music station in the country, and the owners want to be the best money making station. This results in a strike, but not an ordinary strike mind you. The disc jockey’s lock themselves inside the building and won’t let anyone in. The whole city of Los Angeles seems to be rooting for Jeff Dugan and the rest of the members of QSKY radio. The police come to the station and a riot starts. Jeff Dugan saves the day with a heroic speech and then is rehired as manager of the station. The movie has a great choice of music and it is performed by the original artists, such as the Doobie Brothers, Joe Walsh, Steely-Dan, James Taylor and others. “FM” also has a great cast with Martin Mull and Alex Karras leading the credits. This movie tells of what a radio station

Pom pon girls chosen
By LINDA JAMES Pom pon girls for W’awasee High School have been chosen for the 1978-79 school year. Mr. David Blackwell, director of the pom pon girls, felt that the Art Club plans Nashville trip ByJEFFJORCZAK Under the direction of Mike Clark, president, and Mrs. Joy Warner and Mr. Jerry Johnson, sponsors, the Art Club members are looking forward to a number of parties, field trips and lectures from special guests. Right now the group is tentatively planning a fall jaunt to Craft Town Village in Nashville for the first Saturday in October.
is all about, and what it should be — music. ‘Hooper’ The next movie is “Hooper”, starring Sally Fields and Burt Reynolds. This story tells of the disappointments of a stuntman, how the stars get all the credit, and the stuntmen get all the pain. The movie shows the mental anguish as well as the humor that is needed to stay a live stuntman in Hollywood. Hooper (Burt Reynolds) is the best stuntman in Hollywood and does all the stunts for the big stars. One of his stunts is to jump 200 feet from a helicopter into an inflated mat. He lives, but is scared to death. Hooper also has medical problems. He has a back problem from a previous stunt and the doctor says if he performs any more big stunts, the chances of him walking again are very slim. Hooper., however, gets his chance to do a big stunt and also plans for it to be his last. Everybody tries to tell him not to do it, but Hooper has a mind of his own. With a little help from his sidekick Jan-Michel Vincent, he goes on schedule and does the jump. They make it, but the car crashes on the other side. At this point, it looks hopeless for the two men, but they are dragged out of the car and Hooper slowly starts to walk. This movie has alot of action and a great plot. It also stars Brian Keith with a special appearance by Terry Bradshaw. Both movies are rated PG (parental guidance) and are based on comedy.
turn-out this year was the biggest one yet. Out of 30 girls trying out. 12 were chosen to perform at Wawasee's home football and basketball games. The freshmen members include Kathy Hoover. Debbie Elkins and Joni Schultz. Margie Gans, Lisa Walker, Patti Gerrity and Judy Ferverda
Colorful thoughts?
By LINDA PERRY Have you ever really thought about the significance of color? Many of you probably haven’t However, if you really stop to think about it, color says a lot. For instance, suppose you're trying to decide what to wear to school one day. If you’re depressed, you'll probably choose something dark or plain. But. if you're very happy, you'll probably choose something bright such as yellow. And doesn't a person wearing a “warm” color such as orange or red seem more friendly and approachable than someone wearing black? Yes, it’s true, color says a lot about a person. To take it a step further, several psychiatrists have researched the subject of color and have come up with some pretty accurate information about peoples’ favorite colors and what they say about their personalities. A number of Wawasee students were recently asked what their favorite color was. Os these, the majority -said that their favorite color was blue. Why is this so? According to the psychiatrists in a “Seventeen" magazine article, people whose favorite color is blue like to please, and think before they act. This makes sense, then, because most people, especially teens, are concerned about what other people think of them. The second most favorite color among those surveyed was green. Green is a close cousin to blue in that green people, like blue, are poised, loving, and loyal. They also have strong personalities and may have more confidence in themselves than blue lovers.

The reserve list includes Lori Kruger. Mitzi Liles. Kathy Moore, and Carmen Niles. These girls will be used if someone else should quit or be dropped
Another color which was chosen by several girls is yellow Yellow people are imaginative and enjoy any creative activity. Although they appear confident, people who like yellow are often timid, and need encouragement and praise. Other colors which were favorites among boys are red and brown. People who like red are impulsive, bright, and impatient. Their main objective is to be successful. Brown lovers are self-confident, stubborn, and determined. Several of the students surveyed were then told what their favorite color was supposed to say about them. Nearly everyone agreed that their favorite color did indeed represent their personalities. How about you? Does your color indicate what you are?
