Basketball games are the most popular among bleacher creatures, with dedicated fans attending every game and travelling all over central Illinois in the dead of winter to watch the Warriors play. However, creatures can also be found at volleyball, softball, and baseball games (devoted fans will remember the Williamsville game when they would have frozen to death had it not been for those blankets), and track and cross country meets (which can also get pretty cold). But rain or shine, sleet or hail, heat or cold, you can always be sure of one thing — There will be bleacher creatures! (page 6) 1. Drew Koke eagerly volunteered to tape the home basketball games (or was it the cheerleaders?) 2. Mike Haschemeyer anxiously awaits the outcome of the game. 3.

The freshmen girls were asked to select the best-looking, sexiest senior guy, and their choice was Ryan Hop wood. Robyn Maslouski summed it up by saying, Ryan is sooo gorgeous! Freshman boys chose Kristin Wells as their dream girl . When asked, Why did you run for class office? , Kim Richards replied, “because I enjoy working with others. Tara Weidhuner stated, didn't run.

Barb Hopper would give him to Mr. Sullivan, and Lori Lindsey would keep him. Paul Toepfer would sell him. (Bah Humbug, Paul!)

Chris McElvain is called Jako and Jerry Mayes (Iron Eagle), names given to them by their survival groups Kathy Ray is a.k.a. “Kat , Sean Chastain — Snowball , Scott Babb — Boochie , Scott Mitts — Sam , Jeff Gustafson — Gus (for obvious reasons).

Nick Molick is called Spiff Man because a farmer mispronounced his name. However, last year's speech class gave Nick the title — Big Favor Boy . The juniors were asked. What advice would you give to next year's juniors? Most of the juniors were unanimous in their response as Mike Mangold so succinctly stated, DO NOT mess with next year's SENIORS!
