The life of a Clinton High School student isn't complete without its social activities. These activities include such things as the Homecoming Dance, parade and game; the spring and fall plays, special assemblies. These activities add excitement, enthusiasm and most of all, enjoyment to a students everyday life. Homecoming Parade Is Huge Success The 1975 Homecoming Parade was a huge success this year. The following organizations contributed towards making the parade a success: G.A.A., F.N.C., F.H.A., National Honor Society, Band, Pon Pom Girls, Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes. Winning first place was the G.A.A. float No Trick Just Treat us a Victory , second place Junior class Wash Out The Grey, and third place F.N.C. Skunk Em . The success of the parade can also be attributed to the organization of the Student Council and to the Clinton residents and students who attended the parade and cheered the team on to a victory.

In 1974-75 Homecoming The Fighting Maroons of Clinton High turned back the Chilli— cothe Grey Ghosts in tough battle on Sprague Field Friday, October 18, 19 74, to win their first Heart of Illinois Conference G a m e and their Homecoming by a score of 9-6. The team was up for this game since it was their Homecoming, but mainly because Jack Mills was given permission to leave the hospital to attend the game. Mills was in the hospital recovering from a broken leg sustained in a previous game. The air was filled with excitement as the Maroons took the field, for everyone knew that this game would go to the Maroons. Both teams p 1 a ye d a good game, but our boys came out on top. I 11 Debbie Gholson Mary Glasson Rosanne Place Martina Sessions Thisyeara total of twenty eight girls competed for Homecom-ingQueen. A run-off ballot narrow ed the field to only seven girls. Then, a school assembly ballots for Queen were taken. During halftime of the Homecoming Game, Julie Seymour was crowned the 1975 Homecoming Queen. Cheryl Smith Ann Welch Homecoming Dance The High School commons was the setting for the 1974 Homecoming Dance held Saturday, October 19. The group ''Ginger played the music for the dance which started at 8:00 p.m. and ended near 11:00 p. m. Around 9:30, the traditional Homecoming Queen Dance featured the 1974 Ho m e c o m i ng Queen, Miss Julie Seymour and her escort Phil Smith. 14 Above: Jeffrey (Mike O'Neill) explains his scarred face to Florence (Stephanie Hazel).

The Curious Savage The fall presentation of the Dr a m a Club for the 1974-1975 season was THE CURIOUS SAVAGE; a three-act comedy with an ironic twist. The play is about an eccentric, loving, elderly woman named Ethel P. Savage. The plot concerns her struggle to change her stepchildren from being greedy and power hungry', to kind and considerate people. Also drawn into the story', are her friendships with her fellow inmates of The Cloisters, a rest home for disturbed, but peaceful folks in which her stepchildren have had her placed. The production was directed by Mrs. D. Ann Jones and she was assisted by many students who helped out behind the scenes. With an-lib version of part of the third act on opening night, the show came off without a hitch. The Cast Ethel P. Savage . Titus Savage . . Lily Belle Savage Samuel Savage Hannibal . . .

The play was an enormous success with full houses on both nights. The play, which follows the comic strip of the same name, is set in Dogpatch U. S. A., a community of extremely different social, economic, and recreational customs. The major plot of the story concerns Daisy Mae, played by Jan Turney, and L'il Abner, played by Allen Wade. Throughout the play Daisy tries to catch L'il Abner so that they can be married. The remainder of the play is made up of the involvement of the townspeople with everything from atom bomb test to the Sadie Hawkins Day Race. The success of the play was dependent mainly on two things. These were singing and acting. Needless to say, the cast of L'IL ABNER did a good job at both. With the fine job of singing and acting of Jan Turney and Allen Wade came Davis Reeves who portrayed Mar-ry'in Sam, a character akin to a justice of the peace. Because of the complexities of the play, this was one of the most expensive productions that Clinton has produced. Even though the play was more expensive to produce, everyone worked hard to sell their tickets and fill the seats. Their work was rewarded since the play was a success both dramatically and financially. As directors of the play, Mrs. Jones and assistant director Ralph Shallenberger spent much time in planning and rehearsals. They had their work cut out for them as they were to create actors and singers out of over 100 students in only two months. Besides the main directors there were separate directors for choreography and music. Mrs. Arnold and Mr. Garrison filled these positions and added their part to create the successful production. As the rehearsal schedule advanced everyone's hard work began to pay off. Then, when it came time for the curtain, everybody saw and heard the results of the hard work of the cast and crew as the show went on without any complications all three nights. All-School Carnival This year the All-School Carnival was held on May 16. Many of the various clubs and organizations participated in the carnival. The French Club was responsible for organizing the carnival and they also sold French pastries. Some of the other organizations participating were: the Cheerleaders with Bingo games, G.A.A. with a dunking machine, the Classical club selling Tacos, National Honor Society selling pronto pups, and the staff of Clintonia selling pictures from previous yearbooks. 24 The annual Honors Dinner was held in the commons on Monday, May 12. For a student to be eligible for the Honors Dinner, he or she must have a 3. 51 or better grade point average for the first three quarters of the year. This year there was a total of 48 students eligible to attend the Honors Dinner. Among these were 10 seniors, 11 seniors, 19 sophomores, and 8 f re sh m e n. After the dinner, entertainment was provided by some musical selections from the spring play Lil Abner, sung by Jan Turney, Dave Reeves, and Al Wade. The evening was climaxed by a speech from Dr. Thomas Larkin, President of the school board to the students attending the Honors Dinner. With the presentation of the honor students’ medals by Mr. Glenn, the evening was finished.

Modular scheduling makes for a school that is more responsive to students' wants and desires and that encourages communication between the students and faculty. I look forward to a continued association with Clinton Community High School. In the two years that I have been assistant principal, Clinton High School has made great strides toward improving the acceptance of the new modular program. The students have responded well to accepting the consequences of their actions. Since the induction of the Restricted Area, attendance, class skipping, and respect for others has improved greatly. This has enabled the school personnel to work with more students on a personal basis, and at the same time giving them more responsibilities, resulting in more spirit and pride in their high school. With continued concern on the part of students, teachers, administrators, and townspeople, I see no reason why this school cannot become an outstanding educational institution. 42 Mrs. Arlene Hoffman, secretary r riffliiiiiffrwiiHiaiMiMiii w'mhiv WiT Mrs. Peggy Haycraft, secretary. James L. Bader, dean of students; B. A. Millikin University, M.A. Illinois State University. I like m odular scheduling, it's good for the students. I think the school has a fine faculty. All the teachers are dedicated to their teaching. The main problems we have are class skipping and the attendance. Most of the students can handle the modular scheduling and the responsibilities that go with it. High School Administration And Staff Business Department The business program is part of the overall educational plan and a contributor to the total education of the individual. Some of the goals of the business department are: 1. Help pupils explore the world of work, to assist them in occupational choice making. 2. Provide practice in what has been learned in the classroom and assist in the t r a n si t i o n from school to job. 3. Develop general and specific occupational skills, knowledge and attitudes necessary to enter into a) useful, gainful employment, b) employment at the learner's level. 4. Recognize the need for continued specialized training and re-training throughout one's career. 5.

Besides having a good record, they won the Christmas Tournament. At the end of th e season they held first place in their conference, but in die Conference Tournament they placed fourth. Outstanding players with their positions this year were: guards-Jeff Rasor and Doug Harris, center-Den--ajs Harris, and forwards-Jeff Bell, Kirby McDonaid, «rd Jay Jenkins. Mr. Worthall feels that this-been a very rewarding s e a son in terms of individual and team development. As well as the won-lost record. Mr. Worthall commented that this is a very good basketball team. They play very well together, have balanced scoring, and are hard working and unselfish. As long as they continue to play as a unit in this manner and style, they will continue to be winners on a nd off the court. ‘ H The girls' basketball team, coached by Mrs. Frost, put in a tremendous amount of time and effort this year working to keep a girls' team going. The girls weren't always awarded the recognition they deserved and it seemed that they often had to work around the schedules of other activities. They may not have boasted a winning record but they certainly deserve to b e commended for their determination.

Varsity Baseball Clinton's 1974-75 Maroon Baseball team was very young. The Maroons fielded only one senior and four juniors. Although young and rather inexperienced, the Maroons managed a good season. One bright spot in this year's season was the winning of the Lincoln Regional. Throughout the season, the Maroons lost several contests which could have easily gone either way. Coach Lehman thinks next year's team will have a good shot at winning the conference title.

It is the last year of school and the most enjoyable. Everyone is making plans for his future life. The Seniors started off the year by selling light bulbs. The money went towards our class trip to St. Louis. Next came the Homecoming. A lot of hard work went into our float. The title of the float was Steam IVC . Twenty-eight senior girls tried out for the Homecoming Court. Five senior girls were chosen Friday night and Saturday night was the dance. Many Seniors attended both the football game and the dance, since this was the last high school Homecoming they would have. In May we attended the Junior-Senior Prom. Almost everyone looked forward to that night. On May 26 G 27 we went to St. Louis on our class trip. We visited the zoo and Six Flags, then we took in a Cardinal Baseball Game. We ended the year on May 29, our greatest accomplishment ever. Graduation! ! ! We all looked forward to this night, when we made our first step into the adult world. We hope to have set an example to the underclassmen that it is worth the hard work to become a Senior and to be awarded the Clinton Community High School Diploma. ;emor Cl IMHDAICI A in o SENIO KEVIN ALWOOD GARY ARNOLD CINDY AYERS JIM BAKER DENNIS BALLENGER PAULA BARNES STEPHEN BAUM Club 1,2,3, 4; Drama Club 2, 3,4; Chess Club.

Those advantages bring responsibilities: Planning the Jr.-Sr. Prom, thinking about the Sr. class trip, and taking college pre-entrance exams. A Jr. must survive American History only to look forward to Consumer Ed. It is a memorable year, and one in which a busy Jr. must make some important decisions that will have lasing effects on his future. ° S 1975 Mr. Bartkus helps Jann Austin with an essay during Creative Writing class.

At the beginning of the year, activities such as football, band, Pon Pom girls, besides his classes, take up a lot of his time. Working on the Homecoming float and participating in the Homecoming Parade is always a fun event, along with the dance on Saturday night. Another fun time is the basketball games held through December and February. Later on in the year, the big issue for the student is ordering his class ring. Deciding which kind of ring he likes best and picking the color is usually a hard choice to make. A few months later the class rings are in and everyone delights in showing off his ring to friends. Most of all though, the sophomore must make important decisions that will influence his career and his future.

I thank the teachers and staff of the high school for their cooperation and patience. I especially thank Mr. Glenn for his interest and assistance. Furthermore, the ability for us to produce this yearbook comes from the interest that our subscribers and advertisers have shown. For this they also deserve many thanks. In addition to these, there are many people who were great help in publishing the book. I appreciate their work and patience in dealing with me and the interest they had in producing the best book possible. For the staff I hope this year was both enjoyable and personally satisfying. Many of the changes and improvements that were made this year could not have been possible if there had not have been someone to show me how to edit a book or to give me ideas and guide me in bringing them to life. The credit for this goes to Mrs. Miller and Mr. Cocagne who were invaluable to me as advisors. As a last note, I would like to thank our outside photographers, Mr. McKinley, Mr. Spray, and Mr. Spurrier for their time and talents. I would also like to thank our darkroom assistants, Les Cisco, Norman Hoback, and Mike Laramee, for their help with a time-consuming but important job.

But it is especially hard to accept in a young person. For death forces us to examine ourselves--to do some soul-searching and thinking about what we're here for. What does it mean? Little more need to be said as to how deeply it affected us all— especially the Junior Class. � ;■ ' rl tti n.'
