The Miracle Workers 32 ABOVE, administrative secretary, Mary Kilcoin. BELOW, superintendent Dick Shockey who serves as the connecting link between the school board and the faculty and students. Executive Action ABOVE: In his first year as principal, Steve Homung provided a firm hand of guidance for the faculty and students. A big issue confronting school board members was the school bond issue. The members shown above are Lynn Elgin, Bob Oaks, Wilbur Bassett, Phil Umbaugh, and Dean Mowry, president. 33 Coming quickly with bandaides and kind words is our nurse, Karen Ferguson. Forever trying to satisfy the hungry students are Mrs. Lewellen, Mrs. Kopaska, and Mrs. Dram an. A Ship of Fools Running the office without a hitch, Mrs. Edgington and Ms. Joint are an asset. A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS: Keeping the school's appearance at its best keeps these four men busy. FROM TOP LEFT are Ambrose Fagan, Ray Griffith, Lynn Kilcoin, and George Rochholz. i Summing up the 73 season Coach Homung said, I wish we could have the season to do over again with the same personnel. Next year I'm hoping for a better sea- son. Coach Rose: I think the senior class has been the best since I've been here; they showed fery good leadership to the team, in the JV team we found a lot of good qualities. I'm sure if we could have had an extra 10 points in the right places, we would have come out with a 7-2 season in- stead of a 5-4. Coach Monaghan: This was a season with great con- trast. If we could have had two minutes played differently, it could have made a lot of differ- ence in the season. All of the coaches agreed that it was one of the best seasons since they have been here. Some of the outstand- ing seniors who must be replaced for next year's squad include: Curt Lewellen, leading passer in Class A in the state; Arland Petersen, first team all-conference selection, Sam Carney, first team all con- ference selection and Charles Carney, Little Eight conferences leading pass receiver. The future for next year looks prosperous as A-C should have one of the biggest and most experienced teams in its history. The one big vacancy that needs to be filled will be the skill positions. 36 37 VARSITY FOOTBALL A-C 0 Dexfield 20 A-C 48 B-F 0 A-C 22 S-M 27 A-C 22 Anita 21 A-C 14 Earlham 28 A-C 14 Glidden- Ralston 6 A-C 21 P-L 14 A-C 24 C-M 27 A-C 33 O-M 0 5 Wins, 4 Losses FIRST ROW--John Umbaugh, Clif Carney, Kevin Hager, Rick Huss, Brian Richter, Scott Young, Steve Ludwig, Gary Beattie, Mike Hay.

The coaches are Mr. Rose, Mr. Monaghan, and Mr. Homung. Chosen as captains are Arland Petersen, Bill Em- garten, Sam Carney, and Curt Lewellen. The V-Club mem- bers are Arland Petersen, Sam Carney, Marlon Wedemeyer, Brent Taylor, Charles Schafer and Bill Emgarten. They enter- tained the school body with numerous skits at this year's pep meetings. The 1973-74 girls' basketball season was one that was filled with many frustrations. After an injury riddled first half of the season the young Bomberettes managed to regroup after the Christmas break and turn a 1-10 season into a relatively respect- able 6-12. At one time four of the top five forwards were sidelined with injuries. The future, however, looks bright as there were many young roundballers who picked up valuable experience for the next season. An- other bright spot for the future is the fact that only one senior, Julie Ander- son, was lost because of graduation. Another highlight was the Junior Vareity that posted a 10-4 record and an outstanding crop of freshmen that raced through the season undefeated in all six games.

Although the teams' two main ob- jectives, winning the Little Eight Conference and advancing to the State Tournament were not fulfilled, the squads' 18-3 record was nothing short of outstanding. Leading the team throughout most of the season was high scoring senior forward, Bill Emgarten. Emy led the squad with a 23 point average per game and was also the leading rebounder. Excellent balance was one forte of the squad as Bob Wahe, Charles Carney, Curt Lewellen, Kevin Petty, and Brad Rumple always seemed to pick up whatever slack was needed. Even though the squad will be hit hard by graduation, the future looks bright for Coach Glenn Anderson and the rest of the Adair- Casey fans as an excellent nucleus from this years varsity plus a very re- spectable junior varsity squad should make up another excellent season in 1974-75.

Six of these selections will return next year to form the nucleus of the 1974 squad. Senior captain, Bill Emgarten, and junior captain, Sherry Lundy, were recognized for the second time on the Little Eight Conference Basketball all-star squads. Joining them for the first time were Brad Rumple and Carol Sullins. Good pitching and consistant hitting with power were the two main factors that led A-C through a success- ful summer campaign in baseball. Four members of that squad, Brad Rumple, Curt Lewellen, Don Cahail and Bob Wahe were recognized by opposing coaches as the team leaders in these areas and consequently were voted to the all-conference squad. 50 Baby, the Rain Must Fall 52 ABOVE LEFT: Mike Bruns, junior class president, welcomed everyone to prom. Arland Petersen, senior class president, spoke on behalf of the seniors to thank the junior class for making prom a success. And rain it did. The juniors chose the theme, Camelot and transformed the gym into a castle from the days of King Arthur. Starting off the eve- ning was a delicious meal served by the serfs John Oberholtz, Rick Huss, Don Cahail, Milt Petersen, Bob Reha, Steve Bireline, Brian Richter, Ran- dy Wheatley, Rob Slayton, Julie Oaks, Kristen Schirm, Melodie Chesnut, Denise Hansen, Cindy Emgarten, Deb Zimmer, Joni Frettim, Lonnie Chris- tensen, Brenda Krogh, and Joni Scholl. Mr. Homung related some of the tribulations he experienced at his high school prom. Mr. Frederickson gave insight as to his hopes of finding A-C to be a Camelot or utopia. To his utter dismay he soon discovered A-C was not a perfect place. Then Carol Sullins and Craig Parrott read the Class Will followed by Cindy Richter and Mike Bruns with the Class Prophecy. Music by the NEW GENISIS set the mood for a little basic boogie. The crowd dispersed at 11:30 and went their separate ways. Many headed for Atlantic to the movie, Super Fly. As in years past rain poured throughout the evening, however it could not dampen the spirits of those who were determined to make this a night they would long remember. 53 The French Connection. Nothing But the Best These five girls, Julie Anderson, Roberta Crozier, Susan Rater, Bev Egger, and Kathy Uhlman were chosen by the football squad as the most beautiful and representative of the senior class. When the final balloting was through, Miss Anderson was chosen as the individual to reign majestically over the 1973 Homecoming festivities. Julie and her four attendants were honored at the game and also at the dance as the entire student body and faculty jived to the groovy sounds of The Children. Halftime ceremonies at the game included the introduction of king and queen candidates. Starting at the left these seniors are Kathy Uhlman, Curt Lewellen, Bev ger, Bill Emgarten, Julie Anderson, Arland Petersen, Roberta Crozier, Sam Carney, Sue Rater, and Charles Carney. 54 The Children tune up for the dance. One of the largest and most energetic crowds in the history of A-C High witnessed the an- nual football battle as the Bombers squared off with the Rockets of C-M. Behind the ex- plosive running of junior tailback Bill Sorber and the pinpoint passing of senior quarterback Curt Lewellen, A-C built up an early lead and the enthusiastic crowd relaxed with anticipa- tion of an easy victory. The entire crowd and squad were shocked, however, as a 92 yard pass with less than two minutes to go snatched victory from the hands of A-C and put somewhat of a damper on the entire evening. Napkins, tissue paper, and chick- en wire magically turned hay racks into grand productions fol- lowing the theme, A-C Through the Looking Glass. The senior float, C- M Has Run Out of Time, took first place. Vic- tory’s In Our Palm, the sopho- more's choice, depicted a gypsy fortune teller predicting a victory to an A-C football player. The freshman float, Sparky Looks to the Future, received fourth place. The junior's float, C-M Looks at A-C's Victory, received third place. They’re Almost Angels A Touch of Class ’ y Varsity cheerleaders brightened the view this year with new uniforms. Susan Rater was nominated captain by the other four girls. Starting at the left, the cheerleaders are Brenda Krogh, Bev Egger, Joni Scholl, Sue Rater, and Amy Newman. To start off the year right, a kick-off dance was held for grades 7-12. Various activities included skits for the pep meetings and preparing locker posters and special posters for the school during the sectional tourna- ments. Following attendance at a cheer- leading clinic in Ames in September, the girls enjoyed an ISU football game with their sponsor, Ms. Alloway. JV cheerleaders show- ed enthusiasm and promise as future cheerleaders. Their contributions added to the success of the ju- nior varsity teams. Be- sides cheering for the JV teams, they cheered at the Homecoming pep rally and bonfire. Dur- ing the season they also cheered at two pep rallies. Displaying school spirit are Kim Magill, Nancy Noland, Joni Gilliland, and Diane Ruppert. 59 Star Is Born The problem of sharing a party line was the theme of the all school play, Pillow Talk. The heroine, Linda Kim- ber, became upset when a cassanova type, Kevin Heck- man, tied up the line by continually calling his girlfri- ends. Using a fake Texas drawl, Kevin wins over Linda who is unaware that he is actually the one tying up her phone. A supporting cast of Susan Rochholz, Craig Parrott, Joni Frettim, Martha Cline, Marlon Wedemeyer, Cindy Richter, Lyle Caltrider, Christy Ruppert, Mary Beth Lit- tler, and Carol Sullins made this play a hit. 60 CONCERT BAND: FIRST ROW—Susan Rater, Kathy Rochholz, Cindy Richter, Brenda Richter, Mary Beth Uttler, Brenda Krogh, Joni Scholl, Amy Newman, Terry Roberts, Martha Cline.

In the upper picture Linda Lu Zimmer, Cuzin Marlon Wede- meyer, Julie Jemima Anderson, Uncle Arland Petersen, Prissy Linda Kimber Berry, and Charlie Satchmo Schafer pose for a pic- ture while scrubbing the school floors. Again Cuzin Marlon, Julie Jemima, and Charlie Satchmo show that they are not camera shy. A1 Bell was shocked to see these visitors as they colored up the front row during his program. Be- cause of race riots all classes were dismissed at 2:30 p. m. The pros and cons of such things as dress up day have been discussed. Those who utilize situations like these will profit by making every facet of their stay at A-C an enjoyable one. 69 All the World's a Stage UPPER LEFT: The Old Prospector brought stories and music reminiscent of the Yukon Gold Rush. UPPER RIGHT: Al Bell's travels took him to Romania, a communist country and the home of Count Dracula. LOWER LEFT: Al Bell demonstrates a musical instrument common to the country Romania.

When the Adair-Casey Players presented Deadwood Dick or The Game of Gold on April 2, it was no exception. A combina- tion of evil villains, tender- hearted maidens and stalwart heros alternately amused and horrified the audience. Every device of the melodrama was present. Mistaken identities, expansive gestures, Western times, gun play, kidnap- ping, long lost daughters, and the triumph of good over evil proved a successful formula for funny, fast-paced action. The perform- ance was enhanced by moving it from the stage to the gym floor. As a modified theater in the round, the play achieved a close- ness to the audience not present before. Lighting was designed by Mr. Inman and Jeff Noland espe- cially for the production. Princi- pals were Arland Petersen, Kevin Heckman, Joni Frettim, Karen Powell, Lyle Caltrider, Cindy Richter, Milt Petersen, Martha Cline, Marlon Wedemeyer, Bob Reha, Linda Ki-mber, Kathy Fag a, Brian Heckman, and Kris Schirm. The cast was enhanced by extras Mary Beth Littler, Joni Gilliland, Bren- da Richter, Sherry Lundy, Marty Engle, Nancy Noland, Clifford Carney, Brent Taylor, Kent Kilcoin, and Charlie Schaffer. 76 From the halls of A-C to triumph at Council Bluffs is the success story of the choral reading and reader’s theater groups. Through the cold weather of January and February eight freshmen gave up several evenings a week to polish their performance of the O. Henry classic, The Cop and the Anthem. The preparation served them well, for they received Division I ratings in both state and district contests. The upperclassmen in the reader's theater also breezed through district and state contests with flawless performances of the favorite, You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Their success was even sweeter keeping in mind that it was the first time most of them had performed in speech contests. TOP LEFT: (Reader's Theater) Lyle Caltrider, Arland Petersen, Kevin Heckman, Cindy Richter, Julie Anderson and Susan Rochholz. ABOVE RIGHT: (Choral Reading) John Littler, Lucina Kim- pel, Marie Chandler, Mark Young, Lori Siedelmann, Glenda Keating, Linda Beattie and Karen Fett. Although the one act play didn't advance to state, they had fun with their Middle Age farce, Ralph Roister Doister. This rowdy drama kept them practicing three mornings a week from December until February. ABOVE LEFT—BACK ROW: Martha Cline, Marilyn Harl, Joni Frettim, Kathy Faga, Marty Engle. FRONT ROW: Bob Reha, John Umbaugh, Perry Mackrill, Steve Ludwig, Mike Hay (not pictured). A group of hard working indivi- uals opted for the more lonely presentations in the individual categories of speech contest. At the district meet in Anita, Karen Powell received a Division I rating on her expository speech. Linda Kimber Berry maintained her high standards with a Division I rating in book review and improvisational story telling. Julie Anderson re- ceived a Division I rating in interpretative poetry reading. Cindy Richter and Terry Roberts both received Divi- sion I ratings for their polished presentations of humorous monologues. Lyle Caltrider's selection was of a more serious vein. For dramatic acting he received a Division I rating. Brenda Richter and Kevin Heckman both par- ticipated in interpretative prose and both received Division II ratings, preventing them from continuing with the other students to Valley of West Des Moines for the State Speech Contest. At Valley Cindy Richter's flawless per- formance rated her a Division I; Lyle, Terry and Karen received Division II ratings. 77 It was the best of times, it was the worst of times . . . it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness . . . it was the it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair . we had everything before us, we had nothing before us .

As you may have noticed, all of the headings are mov- ie titles, some you may recognize, others you won’t. We used some very old movies and some very new movies. The reason for this is that we arc trying to put a theme in our book. We’ve never tried it before and found out that it is not as hard as we always thought it would be. Fol- lowing a theme in a yearbook is one of the hardest things to do. Everything must be centered around one thought. The title of our theme is “The Last Picture Show”. For many of us this book is our last picture show. For the graduating seniors this book will always hold memories of our senior year. The editors would like to give a lot of credit to our new members. They have learned alot this year and have never backed out when the going got tough. They will bring you next year’s book and we wish them luck be- cause they know it’s a long hard pull to get it done on time.

Graduation is always a time of conflict for any in- dividual involved. In many ways it is a time of sorrow; but yet, it is still a time of joy and satisfaction. Many doors will open for this year's seniors as they have proven themselves in many ways. Throughout the year they provided leadership for the entire school while accomplishing goal after goal that they had estab- lished for themselves. Although there were many out- standing individuals, the Class of 1974 will be re- membered most as one of the finest groups to ever graduate from A-C. For the faculty, student body, and community, it is truly a time of both sorrow and joy- 100 Baccalaureate and class night services were combined Sunday evening, May 19.
