Collages A Recollection of 1978-79 j Pinckneyville Community High School Pinckneyville, Illinois Volume 46 Pyramid Staff Dedicates Yearbook To Coach Gary “‘Bear’’ Glenzy The Pyramid Staff takes great pride in dedicating the 1979 yearbook, “‘Col- lage , to Coach Gary Glenzy Coach Glenzy a from Southeast Missouri State University at Cape Girardeau, Missouri, with a degree in Physical Education. He was first hired to teach and coach football in Chaffee, Missouri, where he worked for three years. He was so respected by his squad, that during the last assembly, he was awarded a ‘POOH’ Bear as a gift of remembrance from his Chaffee team. A few of the Chaffee boys further explained that during Glenzy’'s last football season, they felt as though they were bear cubs with Glenzy as father bear, guiding and teaching them. But how the nickname “Bear” arrived in Pinckneyville is still a mystery. During the past nine years, Coach Glenzy has taught Driver's Education, History, and Physical Education, as well as coached baseball eight years, wrestling seven years, basketball four years, and football 9 years. He is pres- ently teaching Physical Education and is Head football Coach. For the past two years, he has been Athletic Direc- tor, which consists of many long hours spent scheduling all sporting events for the boys’ and for the girls’ teams. This is one position for which enough credit and thanks can never be given. As Head-Football coach, Glenzy has worked many long, hard, and hot hours during the summer, preparing the Pan- thers for the approaching football sea- sons. The season begins approxi- mately two weeks before classes with two practices a day — one morning practice and an afternoon or evening practice. However, when classes do begin, at least three to four hours are spent on the football field preparing for each week's opponent. This time excludes many hours of game prepa- ration, strategy plans, and chalk talks that are the responsibility of this man. The time he has devoted to the ath- letes at PCHS has paid off. Coach Glenzy has produced some of the fin- est teams in Southern Illinois as well as a top contender for our own Southwest Egyptian Conference crown. Coach Glenzy's wife, ek: teaches third grade at Pinckneyville Grade School. They have one daugh- ter, Genea, a ten year old, fourth grade student at St. Bruno's Catholic School. These two ladies follow his teams with cheers and moral support both on and off the field. Coach Glenzy’s family knows the meaning of “eats, drinks, and sleeps football. Not only in the fall, but all year around, he never stops mentioning new football plays and strategies. It is not unheard of for him to be talking football while walking down the street and stopping to dia- gram a play in the dust on a car. When Coach Glenzy finds spare time, a few of his hobbies include fish- ing, golfing, cooking and gardening. He also enjoys bowling, softball, bicy- cling, jogging, weight lifting — almost anything to do with sports.

The Pyramid Staff of 1978-79 began the year with the distribution of assign- ments. Dedication and the yearbook theme were decided prior to any layout completions. March 5 wa s designated as the first deadline of forty completed pages, followed by deadlines of April 5, May 5 and June 5. All pages were expected to be completed a week in advance of the designated deadline. The yearbook photographers were responsible for the shooting and proc- essing of all pictures needed. The entire staff, along with co-spon- sors Susan Henry and Glen Hamilton, attended the Southern Illinois School Press Association (SISPA) Conference which was held at the Student Center of Southern Illinois University on April 6. In addition to the yearbook and newspaper awards, individual awards were also presented. Russell Black received second place in the special effects category and third place for activities with photographs that he submitted to the contest. An honorable mention was given to Mary Urbanek in the copyblock category. Mrs. Henry was a member of the advisory council for the preparation of yearbooks. Year- books from area schools were on dis- play and layout and photography ses- sions were attended by the staff mem- bers. After lunch, a short film of award- winning commercials regularly shown on national and international television was presented. At the close of the school term, the Pyramid Staff and co-sponsors cele- brated with a semi-formal dinner. Grati- tude was expressed and each member was proud to be a part of the school's book of memories. The staff's school year collage is now formed with feel- ings of determination and frustration, anxiety and accomplishment, and the self-satisfaction that each human being yearns to experience. Bill Pyle of Southern Illinois Talent The 1978-1979 school year fashioned a collage of changes and additions to the usual rou- tine of events. Greg Hale, Rob- ert Vanderjack, David Vroman, and Brenda Yates joined the teaching staff. The first semes- ter began with the football sea- son as the Panthers achieved a record of 7-2. Homecoming week created school spirit and team loyalty. Bill Pyle, an advi- sor from the Southern Illinois Talent Search Center at Car- bondale, addressed the Senior class with information pertain- ing to college and future job availabilities. For the first time, the wrestling team was sup- ported by cheerleaders, who were also members of the pom-pon squad. Helen Dry, a business teacher for more than twenty-five years at PCHS retired after the first semester. Her teaching position was filled by Melissa Rheinecker. Greg Bigham caught cat-napping.

The second semester began with the annual Heart Fund Fair. A spaghetti supper was served by FHA and FFA organi- zations. The Panther basket- ball team received the ‘‘Team of the Week’’ award from the WCIL radio statign and won the Regional Tournament. Thir- teen juniors and seniors com- peted in the Rend Lake JETS tests. The team received first place in team competition and many individual awards were also obtained. An Easter vaca- tion of six days was taken by the students and faculty. Fran Stephens, a recent teacher at PCHS, replaced Brenda Yates during the month of May. In the past, final exams were not required to be taken by most of the seniors; this year the school board voted to change the rule and final exams are a graduation requirement. A col- lage of parties and dinners were held by most organiza- tions at the end of the school year for a final reunion of all of the group’s members.

The School Board has done many things over the past months to improve the school and campus. Ceilings were lowered to help cut down on the expense of heating, and new lighting systems were pur- chased for each classroom. Two school buses have been purchased, one is in use this year and the second will arrive for use during the 79-80 year. The Board also approved the addition for the Industrial Arts building.

The class participated in the sale of magazines and Stanley products, with proceeds going to the class trip fund. Money was also raised by the seniors who worked in the concession stands at football and basketball games. Each senior was confronted with the decision of choosing his career, and many planned to further their educa- tion by going to college. Seven seniors were named Illinois State Scholars. The award was based on ACT scores, class rank, and individual achieve- ment. Other awards and scholarships were also received by some of the out- standing students. The 1979 Prom was hosted by the Junior class in honor of the seniors. It was able to bring the students together for one last time in a social activity. Once again the Senior class traveled to Nashville, Tennessee for the class trip. Going to Opryland and the Grand Ole es was the highlight of the week- end. Finally graduation brought the seniors’ four years of high school to a close with the reflection of years gone by, the smiles and tears of today, and the challenges of the future.

The Junior Class Congress, along with the assistance of many other juniors, donated their time to complete the class of 1980 float for the Homecoming parade. They received second place with the theme of ‘‘Shake the Jackets.’’ They also obtained the Homecoming Queen title, Christmas King and Queen titles, and the Sweetheart Queen title. With only one year remaining in high school, many juniors have begun plan- ning for the future. One preparation toward this goal was taking the ACT test at Carbondale. Another activity that the Juniors shared was receiving their class rings. Among all of the activities under- taken by the juniors, hosting the prom occupied much of their time. Through- out the year, the Juniors were busy raising money for the prom with vari- ous activities. Record sales and cake shoots provided adequate funds for this annual event.

A better understanding of the academic and social aspects has been formed. The sophomores of 1979-1980 had a very eventful year. In the field of athletics, a decisive football conference championship was gained. Sophomores also received recognition, with ‘‘Raid the Jackets,’’ by winning the float competition in the Homecom- ing parade. Other events tak- ing place included serving at the prom, taking the ASVAB tests, and obtaining the long- awaited driver's licenses. Now, further steps must be taken toward the completion of high school years and toward the future. Class Officers.

Their main activity was selling candy to raise money for future projects. They also contributed to the Homecom- ing parade with their class float entitled ‘‘On The Road To Vic- tory.’’ The freshmen had the opportunity of taking the NEDT test in the fall, which furthered their academic experiences. Even though their collage has just begun, it is already fill- ing with many exciting events. The freshmen await future learning experiences in their remaining three years of high school.

French and Spanish Clubs Sponsor Mrs. Wilson takes care of registration. The Annual Heart Fund On March 3, 1952, at the age of twenty-six, Mary Kuykendall Carpenter died of rheumatic heart disease (carditis). Mary had graduated from Pinckney- ville Community High School of Pinckneyville, Illinois, in'May of 1943. At the time of Mary’s death, her mother, Helen Kuyk- endall, was librarian and senior honor English teacher at P.C.H.S. Due to their concern about Mary’s untimely death and their sympathy for Mrs. Kuykendall, the students at P.C.H.S. took upon themselves the desire to express their feel- ings by proposal of a memorial in honor of Mary. On March 13, 1952, the Student Council comprised a charter which was established as a permanent Heart Fund memorial in Mary Kuykendall Carpenter’s name. The framed charter is located in the trophy case at P.C.H.S. and exemplifies the meaning of the fund as ‘‘a memorial to all other persons close to the stu- Mr. Hale has been framed. The cheerleaders sponsored this jailhouse to make money for the fair. dents and faculty of Pinckney- ville Community High School who may be prematurely stricken with any affliction of mankind against which a fight is being waged by medical research”’. With the establishment of this Memorial, February was designated to permanently be Heart Fund month at P.C.H.S. Since 1953, a year has not passed without the student body participating in money- making projects, with pro- ceeds going to the American Heart Association. For the past twenty-six years, the students (under the direction of the Stu- dent Council) have not failed to raise at least one thousand dol- lars each year. Clubs, organi- zations, and individual groups of P.C.H.S. have contributed this donation for research. Since 1973, the contributions have been given to the Pinck- neyville Community Hospital in order to purchase needed equipment for heart problems.

Upon their arrival, the group was taken on a tour of the highlights of Nashville, which included the previous Grand Ole Opry building, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, and various stars’ homes. After the tour, the students and chaperones arrived at the Albert Pick Motel where they ate a buffet supper and were given the remainder of the evening for rest and socializing. Saturday was spent by attending Opryland, which is about the only Musical Show Park in the whole U.S.A. The park consists of many musical shows, exhibits, rides, shops and restaurants. The group attended the matinee performance at the Grand Ole Opry, which featured such greats as Roy Acuff, Billy Grammar and others. The special event of the day at Opryland was the appearance of CHIC, a rock and disco group, who performed in the Gaslight Theater. Sunday's interests included the visitation of the Hermitage, the home of President Andrew Jackson. It is located near Nashville and is a national, registered, historic landmark. The 625 acres include the mansion, the museum, the original Hermitage (which is two remaining log cabins of 1804), President Jackson's carriage, the garden, and the tomb of General and Mrs. Jackson. After spending a few hours at the Hermitage, the seniors journeyed back to Pinckneyville “The four guys’: Mark Smith, Bill Timpner, Brian Kellerman, and Steve Houghland, forever in blue jeans.

To run for office, an individual, had to have signa- tures on a petition for that office. Those who were not elected to that office formed an advisory council. This year’s Advisory Council included Robert Hampleman, Suzanne Gorrell, Mary Miller, Rachel Shelton, Tiffany Shute, and Judy Suchomski. The first major project of “Los Amigos”’ was the annual taco stand at the Mardi Gras parade. This was followed in November by approximately 30 students journeying to the Hacienda in St. Louis for din- ner. The Christmas Dance in December was co-sponsored by ‘“‘Los Amigos” and Le Cer- cle Francais. The theme of ‘‘An Old Fashioned Christmas” was carried out with real trees and home-made ornaments. Early in February the club once again joined forces with the French club members and sponsored the Heart Fund Fair. The fair was tremendously suc- cessful with over $1,000 being donated in the name of Mary Kuykendall Carpenter to the local cardiac unit. After many delays due to weather, ‘‘Los Amigos”’ finally arranged to have their winter party in March. It was complete with queso, tacos, a nd sopaipillas, as well as a rowdy hour of “Victoria!” (Spanish Bingo). The big winners were definitely Scott Kimmel and Rod Chap- man. The party signaled the ‘kick-off’ of their second money-making project, which was a jewelry sale. The three winners of daily prizes for that were Staci Stanton, Robert Hampleman, and Sheila Hen- seler (our top salesperson). The money the club raised from the jewelry sales was used for a trip to St. Genevieve, a one-time Spanish settlement near the Mississippi. The final activity was an awards dinner where pins. were presented to students who had been active participants during the year. Members also viewed the film, El Cid.

Black Masque Presents Community Bong Show Bong Show judges, Mr. Ed Birkner, Mr. Richard Luke, and Cathy Vaughn. Tami Ma rlow presents a new version of ballet. The Black Masque sponsored the fall play ‘‘Cheaper By the Dozen. ’ This period comedy, set in the 1920's, was presented to the public on two eve- nings. Both cast and crew spent many hours in rehearsals after school and on Saturdays. While the 17 member cast worked at memorizing the script, the stage crew prepared the living room set for the play. One new addition was the construction of a set of stairs, and extensions of the old flats already in use. The make-up crew kept busy on Saturday morning dress-rehearsals by adjusting to fixing hairstyles and dress styles of the ‘20's. The cast voted on the acting awards and engraved plaques were presented during the cast banquet at the Ponde- rosa in Carbondale, Best Actor, Kirk Hawkins; Best Supporting Actor, Gary Maltby; Best Actress Brenda Schu- maier, Best Supporting Actress, Lisa Brand; Most Valuable Newcomers (male), John Zeidler (female), Suzanne Gorrell.

Shorthand Club Officers are Shelly Thompson — President, Bonnie Pick, Vice-President, Carol Dalman — Secretary, and Melody Kocian — Treasurer. A group of interested students got together this year to form PCHS’S newest club, the Photography Club.
