STEP BY STEP Homecoming evening of November 28th started out with the Trojans trouncing the Potomac Artesians by a score of 104-32. After the game, the coronation was held. Carol Williams and Jim Carley were crowned the 1981-82 Queen and King. David Goodhue, who led the crowning, was Master of Ceremonies for the evening. The night will be well-remembered as an enjoyable event for all who attended. ’s no business like SNOW BUSINESS We survived the Winter of ’81-82! Leapin' Liz-ards! Look at all that white stuff! Little did we know that soon after our overwhelming home- coming victory, we’d be facing some REAL challenges—record- breaking sub-zero temperatures and enough snow to cool the jets of the hardiest Eskimo! But we plowed right through all those snow days without too many complaints or cold toes, eagerly anticipating the summer hum of mosquitoes and air conditioners! Giving the cold shoulder lo Old Man Winter and his negative attitude this year were Liz Allen, Liz Sol ars, and Liz Camp. Cold nose, warm heart? Hop in!

Band Chorus Enjoy Their Achievements! Armstrong’s band and chorus were active and acclaimed under the first-year leadership of Miss Susan Gerling. Early in the year a welcomed visit from the Chanute Air Force Jazz Band enlivened the students’ day and really shook the rafters in the new gym! Everyone also enjoyed a visit to see Annie at the Assembly Hall. The busy pace for both band and chorus included concerts here and at the grade schools, playing at home games, and several music contests in which many ATHS’ers received firsts. Robert Herndon received the privilege of attending the All-State gathering at Springfield, an honor awarded to 1100 out of 5000 students throughout Illinois. A super year! Fun and hard work combine for a pleasant year in music! Swing into Spring ’82! 52 The 1982 spring concert brought back old memories. This year Armstrong’s band and chorus created a swing choir and enthusiastically performed music and dance from the Fifties. Kendra Smiley generously offered her time and talent to choreograph and conduct the swing choir while Susan Gerling accompa- nied them at the piano. There were also many solo and ensemble performances, such as that of Tina Carter pictured at the right, from students who received a first or second placing at contests. And the band played while the chorus sang for the rest of the evening’s entertainment—a great way to break Old Man Winter’s monoto- nous sights and sounds! Bandleader and chorus in action!

The Armstrong Chapter of Future Homemakers had a busy year. Starting the year was the FHA-FFA Wie- ner Roast and then the Sadie Hawkins Dance, also sponsored by both organizations. Selling projects this year included candy and bake sales. In December, the Chapter went to Chicago for a shopping trip and later held a Christmas party. The Sweetheart Dance held with Potomac was quite a success. A welcome to the eighth grade girls, including games and food, ended the year’s activities. Corsage for the captain!

The twenty-one member club used its money, gathered from pop sales, to acquire a juke box which was placed in the gym. In addition to several exciting assemblies, the Student Council sponsored its week of special activities in the spring. Included this year were a student teacher day, elections, a crimi- nologist lecture, punk rock fun, and the annual class competition. Well done, council members! Student Council Assemblies and Activities From Punks To Powwows To Prisons! 62 Sports Shown here are many of the proud faces and smiles of those who received recognition for this year’s participa- tion in athletics.

The names of the players and their games are listed on the next ten pages.

Everyone involved in the play did a terrific job! 80 Under the successful direction of Evelyn Miller and Sue Gerling, a little bit of Roaring Twenties’ madness came to Arm- strong High when two lovable vaudevillian villains. Fish and Hooker (Freymiller and Herndon), took to the stage singing, dancing and dramatizing in “Vaudeville’s My Home.” Broke and stranded in a small town, the two troupers planned to swindle the townspeople and ended up with a production they hadn’t quite expected! With the piano accompaniment of Rita Graumenz and choreographic belp of Kendra Smiley, the ATHS thespians created two exciting evenings of musical and comic entertainment. BRAVO!! (And who said, “Everybody knows that high school plays are just a waste of time!!”?) Above: Characters to really sweep us off our feet . . . The McDowell Clan and their Little Brown Jug 81 “Stand By Me” Jolie Stewart welcomed everyone to the prom of 1982, held May 8 at The Lodge in Rossville. The country theme was set off by the rustic decorations created by Ranae Rademacher, Dale Wilken, Jolie, and Vonda Pflugmacher. After a response by Gary Freymiller and invocation by John Smiley, a huge meal was enjoyed. Vonda and Bryan Severs were the next hits of the evening as they read the hilarious prophecy, fol- lowed by Gary’s and Jim Carley's readings of the seniors’ wacky wills. The Night Riders Band set the crowd rocking, and the time was enjoyed by all. A special “Thank You!” goes out to Joanne Tate whose masterful energy, efficiency and clever ideas always ensure a pleasant prom! 82 Armstrong students were recognized for their many accomplish- ments at the Spring Awards Dinner.
