THE SENIOR CLASS OF AUBURN HIGH PRESENTS TROJAN ‘76” BICENTENNIAL EDITION AUBURN HIGH SCHOOL AUBURN, ILLINOIS VOLUME I 1975-1976 TABLE OF CONTENTS FALL ..........9 FRESHMAN .....10 FALL SPORTS . ... 13 FACULTY ......21 WINTER .......37 SOPHOMORES . 38 WINTER SPORTS 41 SPRING .......61 JUNIORS ......62 SPRING SPORTS .76 SUMMER .......89 SENIORS ......90 Mr. John Richmond has been teaching for 27 years in the high school and 6 years in the junior high. Among the subjects he has taught during these years are advanced math, geometry, algebra II and practical math. He has been a class advisor for the last 21 years, two of which he has spent with our class. However he has not always taught in the classroom with book and pen. For 23 years John Richmond was a high school assistant football coach. He also coached basketball for 11 years and held the job of head coach for track for 18 years. His latest dabble into sports has been as a referee for girls' volleyball. We remember Mr. Richmond not only for his contributions made to the whole school, but especially for those made to our class. When we were juniors working on the prom, he was there late at night working with us, even though he probably had other things to do. He also was there trying to lead out senior class basketball team to victory over the faculty. Mr. Richmond the senior class of 1976 here by dedicates our yearbook to you, because you have always been there when our class needed you. Thank-you Mr. Richmond. Seaman 6ft 7tme AND EVERY YEAR WE'LL HAVE THE SEASONS CHANGING.. .ALWAYS CHANGING. FOR TWO HUNDRED YEARS THEY'VE BEEN GOING ON. AMERICA JUST KIND OF GREW AROUND THEM. EACH SEASON JUST KEPT COMING BRINGING THE NEXT, AND NOTHING STOPPED THE CYCLE, NOT CELEBRATIONS OR INVENTORS, PIONEERS OR THE WARS. THEY PASS QUICKLY ALONG WITH ALL THE GOOD TIMES. BUT THERE ARE MEMORIES OF LEAF FIGHTS, THROWING SNOWBALLS, AND RUNNING LAPS ON UNBELIEVABLY HOT DAYS. THEY ARE IN HERE AND IN OUR MINDS. WE’LL KEEP CHANGING, TOO, BUT MOSTLY WHEN WE LOOK BACK WE’LL REMEMBER RAIN ON THE NIGHT OF PROM, EATING LUNCH OUT IN THE SUN, FREEZING ON THE BLEACHERS AT COLD, WINDY FOOT- BALL GAMES, ALL THE SMILES.. . MOSTLY GOOD TIMES. KAY SHIPMAN By Gone Days . . . By Gone Thoughts . . . Everyone knows the maple tree in the front is a place of activity. In the fall, there are alot of leaves under that tree. That's where the best leaf fights are. Various shoes are thrown or tied on the limbs with the owners below. Now it's a prop in most of the pictures for the yearbook. The tree has quite a bit of shade in the early summer when we eat outside. It's the goal post for the P.E. Football games on the lawns. The tree is a place to sit and talk, or get leaves for biology, maybe find grasshoppers. It makes a good meeting place. It's the best thing to look at in the fall. Please Lord, just one win! Some fans may not have under- stood but there was plenty of spirit behind two words this year, HON- YAH! It is not exactly known where the cheer orignated. The chant did get the Trojan team off to a winning season. HON-YAH! To every thing there is a season, and a time. To every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silent, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. Ecclesiastes, Chapter 3 We've come a long way. In the old days a yearbook cost two dollars. It was in black and white, not much action, or style. Now working on the book is very complicated. New terms include copy, layout, cropping, and special effects. Yearbook work starts before school does and continues all year. We think you get alot when you purchase a yearbook. And that's about as good as you can get. OF SHIPS AND SHOES AND SEWING BEES — America in the 1760's and 1770's was anati on of young peo- ple. Three-eights of the signers of the Constitution of 1787 were in their twenties and thirties. We often pay tribute to the brilliance of this generation, but we overlook its youthfulness. There are many aspects of life in early America that remain today. They have changed through die years to fit our wants and needs. The basic needs are the same; food, shelter, and love. But how we come about getting those wants is extremely different from early days. Looking back it's probably a good idea to be glad that we're around today instead of back then. Floats and Parades: Floats are- n't new inventions designed for the annual homecoming parade. One was used to protest the British tax on tea. It was pulled by horses and featured costumed people much as we use them today. We have al- ready had one parade with a Bicen- tennial theme. Many of the floats in last year's homecoming parade were decked with red, white and blue, like the Future Farmers of America float. This year on July 4th die town is going to dirow a big party in the parks. Last year there were old-fashioned celebra- tions such as sack races, concerts by local bands, and historical readings. The floats were decorated as diey might have been prior to 1776; and the slogans could have been used when the country was preparing for the revolution. What's die best part? Going to watch the fireworks show at night. We'll all be there, just remember to hold your ears when the cannon goes off. Crafts: Americans are famous being original craftsman. From the Eskimos to the southern wood car- vers, to die Northeastern whale bone carvers to the Appalachians rich in folklore. Crafts are a part of die culture, it's what makes Americans, Americans. Cindy Gibson and Cindy Schneider dem- onstrated how to make apple head dolls. The apples are peeled and the faces are carved on them. They are soaked in a solution and put out in die sun to dry. There are other dances diis year. Some of diese are Highland Fling, Sliodish, Square dances, and the Tarantella. Know what they found? It was fun! Around Auburn there aren't too many places to break into a hot Highland Fling, but sometimes people travel to places like Scot- land. Education: School today takes place when a child is five years old, and usually lasts into his late twenties. Most people are familar widi die educational system. It involves eight forty-five periods a day, some classes are required by interests in the arts of macreme, decoupage, cornhusks dolls, and folk dancing. The girl's physical education classes with a little help from Mrs. Hale learned many folk the state. It's a system of red tape, as anyone knows who has become inventive and would like to gener- ate some new ideas. During the early years in America, nine out of ten children did not attend school. Children were taught what diey needed to survive. Boys learn- ed early, such useful skills as handling an axe and a rifle, to farm and to care for livestock, and to repair tools. Girl's learned to cook, sew, spin, and weave. Bears a slight resemblance to our home economics and agricultural classes today, doesn't it? Books were few and far between. Kids learned by repetition. They repeated reading, writing, and arithmetic over and over until it was stored in their memories. Whether they used the packed knowledge is questionable. They probably did need to know how to handle a gun and spin their cloth more. Most children attended school only through the winter. At other times they were needed at home to help around the farm and house. We have a winter vacation around Christmas and school re- mains closed during the summer months. They wrote with charcoal on bits of wood. Some had pens made of goosequills and ink made from berries or bark. How would a term paper look then? It probably would have been judged by pound- age. We have ballpoints, pastel shaded notebook paper, paperbacks and enough books to last. Schools were one-room log buildings that were used as a church on Sunday. The seats were split log benches. Talk about the lunch menu! But the purpose of education is to con- agers reflect their attitudes in their music, Junk Food Junkie was on the top ten this year. There is an old waying that you are what you ear. Fighting Battles: A British offi- cer was believed to have said that if they destroyed all the men in North America, they should have enough to do to conquer the Women. They met with an underestimated foe. Raised in rugged settlements with many hazards and hardships, colonial women fought with their men for America's independence. In history books the subject of Mol- ly Pitcher and Betsy Ross is usually lightly touched upon. There were many others who carried the cause. Deborah Sampson in her early twenties, enlisted in the Contin- tinue to grow and to meet the needs of the people. Things are very different since the early days in America. They should still be working on improving teaching methods. Food Then and Now: The AMA recently disclosed that George Washington's Continental Army ate plenty, but they ate unbalanced meals. A typical day's ration pro- bably went something like this: one pound of fresh beef or salt fish, 3 4 pound of pork or 20 ounces of salt beef; one pound of bread and one pint of milk. It cost eleven cents then; it would cost consider- ental Army as Robert Shurtleff. During the course of the war, she suffered a saber wound on die head and a musket wound in the thigh. Picked with some other soldiers she marched at dark widi unloaded gun and fixed bayonets. Though ammunition was scarce, die patri- ots turned the Tories back that dawn. Sybil Ludington, a sixteen year old, rode forty miles one stormy night to round up her father's mili- tiamen. Despite her efforts, the British destroyed colonial supplies and returned to dieir waiting ships. Nancy Hart, from Georgia, ably more than diree dollars today A student's diet today-typically 2 hamburgers, one order of fries, a piece of cake and a chocolate shake among odier things, namely chips and soda. The favorite cafe- teria dishes are pizza, tacos, ham- burgers, brownies, and sweet rolls. Where do they go to eat? In Auburn we can go to the Dairy Queen or Snow's. Of course everyone knows Shakey's on 6th is the rendezvous spot. Things are looking up in town. A new Angelo's is coming to the Shopping Plaza. American teen- 11 captured three British soldiers. After murdering a neighbor farmer, five soldiers came to the Hart Cabin and commanded food. Using her wits, she sent her daugh- ter for water and to signal the area patriots. Then she gave the exam- ple of a frightened hostess, while her company was not watching, she slipped two muskets through a crack in the cabin wall. Caught in the act, she shot one advancing Englishman, wounded another one, and held three at bay until the pa- triots arrived. The story ends that Nancy arguing shooting too easy a death for die murders, had diem hung from a tree in the yard. Though the women's liberation was not recognized back then, it is clearly evident some women hadn't waited to become strong individu- als.

We built a float entitled We've got the power to Whip You. At Christmas we decorated the Study Hall and received 2nd place. The Freshman's class bas- ketball team beat the Juniors in the first game of the tournament but were defeated by the Seniors. At the FHA Carnival we ran the fish pond and foot- ball throw. The year was finished by decorating for Baccalaureate and Senior Graduation. Our money making projects were a bake sale and a Popcorn sale.

Thanks to several civic minded citizens those boys at AHS with golfing ability were given the opportunity to display their talents and they did very commend- ably! The team composed of Derek Dolenc, Tom Macchio, Kent Dolenc, and Joe Michelich won the IHSA class A district with a team total of 324 strokes. Derek was first medalist with a score of 74, and Tom Macchio was third medalist with a score of 76. The team placed fourth at the Effing- ham Sectional and thus did not qualify for state. Tom Macchio qualified and participated in the state tournament at Champaign. Tom shows his talent in the sand trap. 13 Row 1: D. Bartolozzi; D. Bates; R. Michelich; W. Hamilton; K. Karhliker; L.

Due to past records, many fans didn't want to get their hopes too high. When the first game along (Auburn vs. Virden) it seemed that maybe we would see a repeat of past records. After that first loss against our oldest rivals, the Trojans got it together, and started win- ning and kept on winning. Perhaps one event that gave the Trojan spirit a gigantic boost was winning die Homecoming game against Northwestern. A first for many years. As our winning season progressed, another goal other than the post at each end of the field came to light--die coveted MSM championship! When die last game of the season was over, our record was tied widi Greenfield, die only contender in sight. When the kickoff of the big game came, the Trojans were confident. But as die game progressed it became apparent that the officials would not let the Trojans take dieir rightful place as champs. Wre became co-champs. Our new rival, Greenfield went on to die State Tournament and was immediately beaten. Such a shortchange was a grave disap- pointment for Auburn, but we kept our pride every step of die way. 14 HIGHLIGHTS OF DRAMA CLUB SOPHOMORE FRESHMEN HOMECOMING JUNIORS WINNERS QUEEN KATHY Terry and Freedoms Children in Rat-a-tat-tat Together, this Time! 20 21 i NANCY SANTINI English I Speech II College Prep Freshman Class Advisor Drama Club Advisor MARGARET FORD English II Speech I Middle School Drama Middle School Speech Middle School Speech Advisor MADGE SHOWN French I French II English III 22 MARK WASCHER Typing I Personal Typing General Business Middle School Consumer Education Baseball Coach J.

Though they were plagued with many injuries they tried to keep the fans as spirited as possible. The varsity elected L. Mess- more the captain and the J.V. elect- ed K. Stamer as their Captain. With the tvinning football season behind them, the basketball games soon be- gan. When all others doubted our team, the cheerleaders knew we could better last years record. This soon became a reality. The fans and players really appreciated the enthu- siasm and leadership shown by the 1975-1976 cheerleading squad. 41 Standing, Left To RightPN. Pierce, Mrs. Hale, J.

LOUIS FOOTBALL CARDINALS 86 CLASS TOURNEY The Lettermen's Club An- nual Class Basketball Tourna- ment was enjoyed by all. The teams proved to be more evenly matched and there were many more students taking part. With all classes participating, the Freshmen and Seniors became semi-finalists. The Seniors were declared victorious. The Facul- ty-Senior Game was played with a great deal of seriousness; may- be too much. Next year perhaps it will return to a game of en- tertainment and laughter (where students can enjoy watching their FAVORITE teachers play basketball). 87 A MORNING IN MAY May Maids Boogie Down, Mr. Wascher David Bowie (?)

No, not we, First they said that we would see, Then they changed their tune a bit, When they saw we wouldn't quit. We ran the school, or so they said, Just because we wouldn't be led, By one of their groups, the upper class, We wouldn't humble ourselves; Alas! ! And so we've been down through the four with minds of our own, and no more, We couldn't be told what to do Because we did the best we knew. Now here we are, ready to part: We say good-bye with all our heart, To you, Auburn High, and all you mean, To our class who've been so keen. Now our high school years With laughs and tears Is water under the bridge. 91 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Standing: Bob Burton, Treasurer; Bill Richardson, St. Coun. Rep; Nora Rasure, St. Coun. Rep.; Sitting: Terri Sergeant, Sec.; Mary Burg, President; Louise Woodside, Vice President. JOE! Kay Shipman is known to do the un- usual, so it wasn't such a big surprise when Kay told us she was going to Scotland. You mean Scotland over in Eur- ope? Yea, that Scotland. Kay is going as a In- ternational Farm Youth Exchange Student. She will be staying for six weeks. Kay will be learning about the Scotsmen and telling them about us. Kay will be doing most of her traveling by horse- back riding. Got room in your suitcase for me? Honoring the parents of Senior basketball players and Senior cheerleaders. 92 THE WAY IT HAPPENED Four years ago a new class of Freshmen entered AHS. Look out! The Class of '76 elected as its officers: Kay Shipman, Pres.; Steve Smith, Vice-Pres.; Brenda King, Sec.-Treas.; Jill Osburn and Janet Laffey, St. Coun. Rep. Our class advisors were Mr. Kimball, Mr. Waltrip, and Mrs. Shown. The Freshmen took 3rd place in the 1972 Homecoming parade float competition and first place in the Christmas decorating contest. Our first big dance was the Sweetheart Dance. The first day of school in the fall of 1973, a new principal, Mr. Johnson, arrived. The Sophomore class elect- ed Dave Thomas, Pres.; Kathy Flannigan, Vice-Pres.; Beanna Nicholas, Treas.; Brenda King, Sec.; Janet Laffey, Kay Shipman, and Mike German, St. Coun. Rep. Mr. Waltrip, Mr. Dolenc, and Mrs. Shown were our class ad- visors. Our Homecoming float was called Mother Never Tole 'Em About Trojan Power. Most Sophomores began Drivers Ed. Crash! The class decided to sell Trojan stickers, but the project was abandoned because of the lack of participation. The Class of '76 received 1st place with its skit at the FHA Carnival. The first girl's track team was formed. Some of the Sophomores became National Honor Society inductees. The fall of 1975 saw the Class of '76 become upperclassmen. Once again we faced a new principal, Mr. Lutz. The saying goes, third time is a charm. Charlene Howard was elected President of our class; Mike German, Vice-Pres.; Mary Burg, Sec.; Mark Edmiston, Treas.; Kay Shipman, Kathy Flannigan, and Nora Rasure, St. Coun. Rep. The Class advisors were Mr. Davis, Mr. Hayes, and Mr. Richmond. Our Homecoming float was entitled Stomp 'Em with Blue Suede Shoes. Class rings were ordered. Because we could not agree on one style of ring, each person could choose from five different styles. During the winter of 1974 the energy shortage was felt by many so the Junior Class decided not to decorate for Christmas. A sign explaining our responsibility to the conservation of energy was substituted for the decorations. The first girls' volleyball team was formed, and its season record was 1-1. Prom plans got underway. At one time we had thought about having Prom in a wheat field or at the East Park. Finally we ended up having Ptom at the Grade School. Magazine sales were introduced as a money-making proj- ect. We outsold the Seniors. The tragic death of Jill Osbum was a great loss to our class. During our junior year the School Board held a referendum, and it failed. The second time, though, it passed. Was it because of the letter to the editor the junior class wrote supporting the referendum? The last year of high school! The 1976 Senior Class was still to experience many new things, as usual, we elected class officers. Mary Burg was elected President; Louise Woodside, Vice-Pres.; Bob Burton, Treas.; Terri Sergeant, Sec.; Nora Rasure, John Ludek, and Bill Richardson, St. Coun. Rep. Class advisors were Mrs. Roberts, Mr. Richmond, and Mr. Heiderscheid. Senior pictures were exchanged. The 1975 Homecoming Game was our first winning one, defeating Northwestern High School. This year also proved to be our only winning season during our high school years. Kathy Flannigan was crowned Homecoming Queen. The Senior Class received first place for Christmas decorations. The Class of '76 lost several of its members to mid-term graduation. Any senior with an A average was exempted from Semester Exams. Lucky stiffs! Graduation announcements and caps and gowns were ordered. Just as it appeared that everything was going smoothly, the diplomas arrived with the wrong date for graduation printed on them. BIONIC BANANA Newspaper was released by the Speech II class. It contained many interesting articles proposing new ideas like open noon hour, senior lounge, and a smoking tree. TEN LITTLE INDIANS was the Junior-Senior Play. It was a first for both classes. The Senior Trip: as usual, we didn't want to do the usual. We approved a canoe trip to the Current River, but we weren't sure the School Board would! The plans were approved, though, and we soon got going. Aside from the usual overturned canoes and a few minor (?) injuries, the trip was a success. The girls' volleyball and track teams became District Champions and went on to represent AHS at Sectional and State meets. The 1976 Prom theme was A Morning in May, and the Juniors outdid themselves providing beautiful decorations and great music. The last week of school finally arrived. Out came the robes--all blue, instead of blue and white like we thought we had ordered. But at least the diplomas were right! Our Baccalaureate was held Sunday, May 23, 1976. No one tripped, fell down, or fainted! Our Graduation day arrived on May 28, 1976. We left behind high school and en- tered a new part of our lives. 93 KAREN MARIE BAUSEWELL I have always held firmly to the thought that each one of us can do a little to bring some por- tion of misery to an end.

At first everyone was a bit skeptical when they heard that seven chaperones were going along. But by the end of the trip, everyone seemed to agree that they couldn't have had a better group of chaperones. The adventure began Friday, April 30 at 12:30 P.M. as the excited group parted from A.H.S. with tears in their eyes and cans of IGA soda in their hands. It was a long and HILLY trip. After several pit stops they arrived at the riv- er. Being from Auburn, they naturally had exquisite tastes. When they saw the lumpy, wet campground that had been assigned to them in the group camping area, they got back in the bus and returned to the ranger station to complain. The rangers soon learned that you don't mess around with Auburn's Class of '76' . Shortly afterwards, the Seniors were assigned a nice large area of ground in the family camping area. After the tents were set up the fires had been started, Nora Rasure's surprise birthday party began. Nora received quite a surprise when she saw that her presents con- sisted of two Playgirl magazines and two pair of rather fancy underwear. Most of the Seniors thought that that would be all of the excitement that there would be that night. However, some- time during the night (the exact time is not known) Bob Burton fell on a sharp rock and scratched his knee slightly. After he returned from the hospital, everyone was amazed as they gazed at the 15 stitches. Later that night after everyone was all snuggled away, several of the tents began filling with water. It rained, you see. So after everyone was awakened and alerted that every- thing was under control , the bus began filling with wet Seniors. Bright and early the next morning, everyone enjoyed a hearty breakfast consisting of wet bacon and golden wet pancakes. Quite a delicacy. Then into the canoes and on to the river. It was an average canoe trip with the exception of Janet Laffey and Lorna Bloome, who couldn't seem to canoe in a straight line. For those who had planned on not getting wet, the dunking party ruined their plans. It was a long wet trip and most of the students were glad to set foot on dry ground. After returning to camp, everyone pitched in and helped pack up. But wait, one last search for Jack Crisseys' lost rings before leaving. Unfortunately they had no luck and left without them. At about 12:30 A.M. the tired group returned to A.H.S. with sleep on their minds and cans of IC-A soda still in their hands. What an exhausting ride. 104 Boy, I could sure use a beer! Is this the tent? Mother never told me about this. Let Nora look, they're her magazines. Typical Auburn Seniors. Don't pout Becky, you can look next. Where is that bus door?! I HEREBY BEQUEATH . . .

At least it's not third. Smartie! Honya! 108 Shake with your right, diploma with your left ... or shake with your left? Watch your step! THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1976 “A PAST TO REMEMBER A FUTURE TO MOLD’’ OUR CLASS COLORS WERE BLUE AND WHITE OUR CLASS FLOWER WAS A WHITE ROSE SENIOR PROPHECY MAY 28-29, 1986 It's ten years after the Bicentennial and ten years after our graduation. For many of the class mem- bers this will be the first time since graduation they have seen some fellow classmates. Everyone knows where to meet—no other place than MOOSE'S bam. It doesn't look the same since Dave's made a few improvements. It's now the headquarters for his vast farming estate. The building doesn't look the same, either. Thanks to KEVIN SPERRY'S Destruction and Construction Crew, it's now a modem steel and glass building. For some reason, they left a huge storage space for ’beverages which were hauled in with JIM HEMBERGER'S rig. Jim now owns a whole fleet of trucks. To help keep such an immense collection in working order, Jim has hired MARTY GRAVIT, who also moonlights as a truant officer. Getting the food was easy. Luckily, one of the Taco Tootsies, KATHY FLANNIGAN hasn't started her rounds of county and state fairs. Kath's made it in the taco business, she's put them on the frozen food market. To take care of the business end of the dealership, she's hired MIKE GERMAN, who gets a rather large commission. However, tacos aren't the only item on the menu. JOE MARCHIZZA managed to hear of the gathering through his Mafia connections and has utilized his Italian pizzeria to help with the catering. Several arrivals just came through the door. It's RON LADAGE, who is still on crutches due to a motorcycle accident. Limping along with him is BOB BURTON. It seems that several '76 graduates have made it big in the business world. For instance KIM LEWIS, who just came in, has a chain of Dairy Queens in her home country of Germany. BRENDA KING owns her own chain of dress shops. Rumor has it that she's about to buy out Marshall Fields. KAREN BAUSWELL has worked hard and finally bought out her boss. She now owns five Ben Franklin stores. ARLA REBMAN is her assistant manager, having added up a few years seniority. KAREN WILLIAMS also owns a business. She's finally managed to buy the Chatham Bowl. DIANE HARBOUR is her head cook. In addition, those who have opened smaller businesses are CINDY SEGER and SALLY STANDEFER, who are proud owners of a newly expanded beauty school. DEBBIE WALKER runs a day care center. MIKE ROBINSON handles the financial end of the business. MARCIA PICKARD has recently started a nursing home, helping her is CHERYL CARNETT. It appears that several graduates have made it big in the field of medicine. SUSAN MARSHALL, M.D. (also known as Mad Doctor) just came in. With her is LORNA BLOOME, head nurse at Mayo Clin- ic. LISA MESSMORE, R.N. came too, with interns swarming around her. Swarming around KAY SHIP- MAN however, are all the sick animals she just couldn't tear herself away from. Kay is also the veterina- rian to the President's dogs. Well now the party should perk up, CHARLENE HOWARD and MARK EDMISTON made it, all the way from Africa. There Mark takes care of Arab oil accounts. Charlene teaches twirling to the children of oil millionaires. Someone else who came a long way was BRENDA ROBEY who drove in from Arizona in a dune buggy. PAUL SAILER came from Alaska where he is in charge of the Alaskan pipeline security. KIM STAMER just came in. Kim's really looking good—she's currently a life guard at the Olympics. VINCE WEDDELL has become a success. As a top auto mechanic, he's worked his way up from VW's to an exclusive Rolls Royce dealership in Auburn. Coming in with him is BILL URBANSKI, who works at Whammo as a Frisbee tester. Leave it to Bill to start throwing one now, catching it is STEVE SMITH. Steve works at a park bench factory. Unfortunately, MIKE ELDRIDGE couldn't make it. He couldn't get away from his job at Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer Company where he is a taster. He sent samples, though. Ah, RICK PEECHER made it. Rick's been doing fine, recently he has taken over leadership of the National Society of Whizzers. That group has really grown, from original membership of 3 to 487. Rick has his headquarters in Curran, Illinois. Several members of our class have become celebrities. Among the distinguished guests are NANCY BURTLE, first woman to combine both Secretary of Treasury and Department of Agriculture into one job. Accompanying her is ace stenographer, PAM BURTLE. One other classmate in government is JOHN LUDEK, who heads the Department of Energy Conservation. We are sure that John saves a lot of energy. Another celebrity is LOUISE WOODSIDE, having served as F. Lee Bailey's assistant for several years, she now takes over all his cases. Several classmates have made it in television. Here comes the stars of a long-running soap opera—RICHARD HARTMAN, RICHARD HARTMAN. Giving the event national news coverage is MARY BURG, ABC's replacement for Barbara Walters. Someone else who is seen on television quite a bit is JACK SMOKEY CRISSEY, now holder of the Heavyweight Boxing title. An- other person used to television cameras is CHUCK OPOLKA. Seen more often behind them since he is a top photographer, having taken over Lloyd's studio. In addition, BECKY ENRIETTO has made a name for herself. Now a big producer for Broadway, Becky's hard at work on a play that she has conceived, written, staged and executed all by herself. Seems as though quite a few grads have spent a long time in getting and keeping world records. We have JANET HUGHES with a record of typing 130 words a minute on a manual. Forest ranger NORA RASURE holds a record for most forests saved. TERRI SERGEANT is known as the only graduate of Rob- ert Morris Business College with a bowling average of 297. DAVE THOMAS is also mentioned in the Book of World Records, along with BILL RICHARDSON. They are an undefeated team of sumo wrestlers with Bill sometimes refereeing. Mrs. Bailey has done it again—released upon the world five graduates of Bailey's book-keeping school. Among the ones set free are LORI SANDIDGE, CHERYL JOHNSTON, MARY CWIK, CATHY WHITE, and SALLY THOMPSON. JANET LAFFEY and LINDA VINLOVE harass the clients whose books do not balanced. Well, it seems as though everyone has gotten to talk to everyone else and reminisce over the good ol' days at Auburn High. As the crowd begins to thin out, promises are made to have another class re- union a week later! COMMERCIAL AWARDS Top pictures: Aria Rebman and Mark Edmiston received the bookkeeping award.

Sturdy, determined pioneers hacked away at the edges of a raw continent and, with blunders and achievements alike, modeled a country with a spirited nature and a united commitment to individual liberty for every one of its citizens. Americans, great and not so great, have given us a heritage to carry on and improve upon. Farmers and soldiers, industri- alists and merchants, dreamers and leaders, are all there in two centuries of progress. But the maturing isn't finished. You'll find the boundaries of growth as endless today as when our forefathers first envisioned them. You can seek out your own destiny with the wisdom and judgement which comes with re-creation of the past. Your knowledge, dreams and industry will carry on through many more centuries of living history. In CO NG R ESS, July 4, i77e.

CHAPTERS OF AMERICAN HISTORY The Stamp Act of 1765 was an attempt by Eng- land to tax items that were wholly American. The colonists reacted in seething resentment which erupted into angry protestations. The first blood of the American Revolution was spilled during one such incident at Boston in 1770. Several Americans lost their lives over a snowball thrown at a British sentry. In the fight to achieve commerce equality, the United States found itself in a naval war over shipping lanes. Fort McHenry was heriocally held during a British naval bombardment, and the stars and stripes still flew after a night of hard fighting. The next morning Francis Scott Key penned the immortal words of what would become the national anthem. Settlers had to have permanent access to the new lands, so canals and bridges were built to carry stages and wagon trains loaded with machinery destined for settlements in the West. The pioneers foresaw great wealth in the cheap acreage that was available. Frontiersmen cleared the wilderness, built set- tlements and drove back the Indians. The Pony Express and the telegraph became primary means of communication. Agriculture was the wealth of the country. American inventions of the time were often re- lated to working the soil. The McCormick Reaper, mowing machines, textile looms and the cotton gin were instrumental in the settling of new frontiers. In 1648, James Marshall found gold in the race of a sawmill he was building for John Sutter at Coloma, California. The lust to 'get rich quick’ was the force behind this biggest and gaudiest gold rush ever. While gold rush fever gripped the country, states were increasingly more divided on the slavery issue. Civil war broke out in the East This Brothers War was bitterly fought and, though the scars remain even today, slavery was abolished. Cities grew at an alarming pace; often without regard to the limits of safety. The great Chicago fire of 1871 burned the bustling cattle market empire beyond recognition. But the pioneer spirit was not broken. Chicagoans began re- building and preparations were underway to celebrate the 100th birthday of the country. The Iron Horse, carrying homesteaders, greatly helped settlement of the new country. The first transcontinental railroad connected the country at Promontory Summit, Utah, on May 10. 1869. Transportation was netting the pattern for the American way of life The country became a mobile society with electric trolleys, automo- biles. farm machinery, and bicycles, ail the rage Along with the accessibility of travel came a new era of nationalism. A World War called upon the nation's young men to unite and fight. After the war in Europe the nation pulled itself together and industry flourished once again A carefree America bur- ied war memories in the new moving pictures, telephones, light bulbs, electric generators, stock market ticker tape machines, phono- graphs and a wealth of inventions from the fer- tile minds of its young inventors Baseball be- came the national sport and prohibition was law. Black Thursday, October 24, 1929. saw the American stock market crash to the lowest level in history. Panic set in as the unemployment level skyrocketed. The country was in its worst economic crisis.

The nation’s leaders scoffed; until December 7. 1941 Pearl Harbor! Industrial production reached a peak during the war years. Upon their return from four years of battle, the veterans forged ahead with an eye on a better life for everyone. Several mod- erate recessions in the 50s and 60s reminded cautious citizens of past decades Nearly 100 years of strggling for civil liberties were realized when Presiden Lyndon Baines Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law The Act outlawed segregation in any form The seventies shed light on a new trouble for the nation as it approached its 200th birthday. The world’s energy sources and natural re- sources were being used up faster than they could he replenished. Americans once again waded into a new frontier. The energy crisis ’ and ecology were prominent words in the language Ways to save nature from the neglect of mankind and ways of preserving precious fuel without damaging that balance of nature were the objectives of Americans across the country Huge strides were being taken in the scientific field. Television became a part of every family's life. National events were household topics — while they happened — thanks to the new medi- um. Individuals and groups were seen on the tube as they advocated new social reform or justice, or special causes of their own. TV gave individuals and political systems power greater than ever before Audio-visual journalism had made its impact. Earth's crises spurred Americans into further pioneering. This time outer space. Ameri- can astronauts were the first on the surface of the moon and the U.S. was first to build a sky- lab for more scientific study. American is still learning and growing after a mere 200-year infancy The original determina- tion of our forefathers was told again in the words of Neil Armstrong as he made the first step on the moon a small step for man. but a giant step for mankind Early tKOSP«ctOf panning for gold ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD COMPANY OFVKB FOB BA LB ONE MILLION ACRES OF SUPERIOR FARMING LANES, IN FARMS OK 40,80 160 acres and upwards at from $8 to $12 per acre.

California (Jan 12.1847) Original 13 Colonies The Alamo San Antonio Texas (Texas independence day March 2 1836) THE CHANGING NATION Ownership of land had been just a dream to most of the colonists from feudal England. With the great expanse of cheap land opening up in the West, the dream became reality. The Louisiana Purchase of 1803 opened the first sizable frontier in the Midwest, but the nation was not ready for it yet. It took a growing market in the East, where land was getting high-priced and scarce, and develop- ment of good transportation, to really start the frontier movement. The Gold Rush caused hordes of settlers to take various routes to the Pacific Coast and its yellow riches. The railroads brought farmers and ranchers, along with the miners, who decided to stop all along the routes and build their homes. Railroads were instrumental in the quick civilization of the West, bringing people in num- bers so large that the resentful Indians were finally pushed back into unwanted and infertile areas. America became a haven for immigrants from every na- tion as freedom beckoned them to the teeming cities of the East, the plains, and the rich west coast farmlands. Sick of the Civil War and with their own lands divided up and lost, many Southerners set out to begin again in the virgin territories. Westering soon became the national tradition as North and South moved together toward a new life. Americanism was advanced socially, by the hard-working, bare-fisted types who settled the frontiers.

Ui M wrlkr« Irwa grummd. an.I-,j„ Without realizing it, England instilled in the colonists the individual purpose and ingenuity that necessity breeds. With trade goods cut to a minimum, determined young leaders of the time set out to find ways of surviv- ing without support from the Mother Country. Agricultural methods and machines and labor saving devices were designed by our forefathers. As frontiers opened, Yankee genius had to conquer natural barriers in the wild new country, so suspension bridges were invented and methods of transportation were perfected for the purpose of opening the untamed areas. Later, they sought to section off the land with the revolution- ary and controversial invention — barbed wire. Cooper's 1-horsepower Tom Thumb train in 1830 and later, automobiles like the first Model T, and the 4-horsepower airplane ; became American modes of travel from city to city and coast to coast. Americans knew that the fertile lands of this nation would produce unequalled harvests if machines were designed to take over for man. They knew also that trade routes were difficult to travel and manufacturing would have to be done close to home. The cotton gin, textile looms, drill presses and a reaper which could cut six times as much grain as a hand scythe were some of the tools invented. Protection for themselves and for their young country prodded inventors like Eli Whitney to perfect firearms and others to work on plans for the first submarine. Young inventors like Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison (called the nation's most valuable citi- zen) visualized machines that would light the country and open up communication with those in the far cor- ners of the nation. The telephone, telegraph, phono- graph and the first light bulb were discovered in the late 1800's and early twentieth century. This American way of doing for oneself inspired many to become inventors in their own right. Some sought to save labor and mass- produce for profit while others envisioned not only riches, but excitement and adventure as they discovered ways to defy nature. Throughout the past 200 years the American mind has been unleashed to take whatever paths necessary to ful- fill the needs. In the last half-century, the pace of dis- covery has been overwhelming and inventions for the taming of the universe lie in the grasp of America while the habit of ' finding a way is ingrained in its people. The seeds of industrial America were sown by these inventors resulting in today's mechanized society.

Those are the prices offered to our founding fathers to encourage set- tlement of the wilderness areas of this nation. A stage wasn t the most comfortable way to go. but you could get from city to city for as little as $3 — at the amazing pace of six miles per hour. Compare today s wages with a 12-hour day in the early 1800 s. A man earned 50c a day. Of course his dollar bought a little more than today's. Butter in 1826 was about 5c lb. in the Midwest; eggs, 3c doz.; corn 6C bu.. wheat. 25c bu.; and a cow could be bought for $5. With travel becoming the American tradi- tion, you could choose train, wagon, horseback or the water. A canal ride, with bed and board included, averaged 3 or 4c per mile. And when you reached your des- tination, you could sit down to a 5, or even 10 course meal for 25c. (Ladies 20c, in consideration of appetite.) Farmers in the early 1800 s could own the famous McCormick Reaper for a mere $100. But the Civil War increased prices as the machine became the first item farmers could buy on time payments for the sum of $1,500. A good suit of clothes then might cost $1.95 and ladies waists (blouses) were marketed for 49c to $3.50 with a whole dress pattern priced at 15c. -£y p iQO1 ADAMS’ PATENT SWEI.I.KD I loam UitidluM VlriMcndn.

Cookstoves, quality-satisfaction guaran- teed, could cost you $29.25 at $4 per month and a dandy heating stove could set you back as much as $5.73 and up. The first electric refrigerator cost $900 — which might be enough to make you faint on your 1907 fainting couch that had cost a mere $7.85. Your new baby travelled in the height of fashion in a wicker sleeping coach (stroll- er) for the sum of $12.04. If you had $1,500 in 1903 you could show off in one of the first automobiles. Ah, those were the days. Some of the cur- rent prices are reminiscent of those days, but at frontier prices, which were a whole different story. Hardy pioneers had to pay $2 a pound for sugar, too. And the same for a pound of coffee or pepper. Those items were only 15c per pound back in civ- ilized St. Louis. Flour was marked up 100 times for sale to the frontiersmen and dur- ing the famous Cold Rush, that precious commodity went for $400 a barrel. OfEJf thmghoMt iKc Jay, and IIJ.
