Academic subjects are impor¬ tant to students and are their “main job,” but today students also moonlight in a diverse array of activities and jobs, both in school and out of school. Students involve themselves in school- sponsored sports and activities that range from acting to wrestling or war gaming. Outside school, students pursue various hobbies including wood burning and scuba diving. They work for pay or volunteer their services. Many students are not content to moonlight in one area. They may hold a paying job, volunteer in various areas, and participate in one or more activities. For example, Bill Martin, pictured on page six, is active in Concert Choir, Ensembles and History Club. Outside school, Bill works at Wehrenberg Theatres and Roll¬ ing Acres Stables and competes in horse shows. While doing all of this, he takes a full load of courses including Honors Eng¬ lish, French, Accounting and Computer Information Processing. Bill is not an isolated example. Truly, Belleville West students are “doing it all.” Melissa Wimmer dances for the Metropolitan Ballet of St. Louis. She received her training at the Belleville School of Ballet Melissa rehearses or takes classes seven days a week. In the spring she appeared in Coppelia, After Images and Pas de Ouartre.

Students and faculty members showed their patrio¬ tism by dressing either in colonial costumes or in red, white and blue clothing. The cafeteria provided a colonial break¬ fast for the staff and later served colonial foods during the lunch periods. After the breakfast, staff members planted bicentennial trees around campus. Participating in the tree planting are Mr. John Goodnick, Principal Jerry Turner and faculty members dressed in colonial costumes. The costumed teachers are Mr. Robert Hanson. Mrs. Mary Ellen Struze. Mrs. Jean Canale. Mrs. Mary Staley. Mrs. Gussie Tonne. Mrs. Mona Scheibel and Miss Nina Bono.

Constitution Day 9 ROYALTY In the fall, royalty consisted of Miss Ma¬ roon Mila Zenarosa and her court of Ko- lette Davis, Jill Klein, Elaine Mueller and Lisa Pennington. The five senior girls were selected by the Class of ’88. Then the entire student body voted on which would be awarded the title of Miss Maroon. At the Hobo Day assembly October 16, Miss Maroon was announced by Principal Jerry Turner and crowned by her prede¬ cessor, Jill Plassmeyer. Principal Jerry Turner gives Mila Zenarosa the key to victory.

On October 16 students began decorating the halls at 3:30 p.m. and many did not finish until 10:00. On Friday the halls created a festive background for the Hobo Day activities. This year’s Spirit Week theme, cereals, led to a wide variety of decorations from Tony the Tiger to Toucan Sam and the Smurfs. Decorating the halls were Bellevinois, cheerleaders, Distributive Education, French Club, Hy News, Model United Nations and the pompon squad. The newest addition to the football team, Tony the Tiger, gets a hug from cheerleader Ginger Schubert. Tonya Keck takes a break to look at her work. Relaxing after finishing their “Smurf the Spartans hall are Hy News members Kelly Holcomb. Kelly Sutter, Molly Gillespie. Allison Weeks. Leah Farinas.

Hall Decorating 15 COSTUME DESIGNERS Students showed Academy Award win¬ ning talent in costume design during Spirit Week. On the first day, students dressed as Flower Children. Then came Harley Day, which called for black leather and chains. On Class Distinction Day, each class dressed according to its own theme. Freshmen wore college sweatshirts and boxer shorts, soph¬ omores dressed inside out, juniors repre¬ sented school rivals and seniors dressed ac¬ cording to the Blues Brothers theme. On Hobo Day students created a variety of cos¬ tumes ranging from the traditional hobos to creative variations on the Spirit Week theme of cereals. Mark Gansert dresses as a mad doctor. Edith Besse and Veronica Tapley wear togas. Mark Heinz dresses as an Iranian terrorist, and Emily Thomp¬ son dresses as a sailor. 16 Costumes Erin Moore and Terry Schalk show school Secretary Lynn Schwoebel gets in the spirit of the spirit by dressing up on Hobo Day. week by dressing up for Harley Day. Following the theme of cereals, Sharia Rasmussen, Teresa Burrelsman and Jody Perkins dress up as Snap, Crackle and Pop. Lisa Padgett (below) portrays an Althoff bunny, complete with carrot. Tara Fiscus and Holly Hubbs dress in army fatigues. Denny Cooper joins Mark Heinz as a terrorist and Lisa Moore dress¬ es as a clown. Costumes 17 MERRYMAKERS West students have two things in common: their enthusiasm and their ability to have fun. During Spirit Week students were able to par¬ ticipate in many fun activities such as float building, dress-up days, tug-of-war contests, arm wrestling, hall decorating, juggling, the Hobo Day assembly, the parade down West Main Street and the pep rally on the corner of Third and West Main. Spirit Week brought out everyone’s enthusiasm, but this fun-loving spirit continued as an integral part of campus life throughout the year. Rhonda Richmond, LaToya Owens and Tamiko Martinez show their cheerfulness on Constitution Day Mary Mauer, Erin Moore and Shannon Perry (above) are all smiles. The varsity cheerleaders (right) lead the enthusias¬ tic crowd. 18 Enthusiasm Jill Klein, Clay Stallard, Scott Alves and Heather Noblitt enjoy themselves on Hobo Day. Tim Harkness.

Some students came to school dressed as greasers.” Clad in t-shirts, blue jeans, bandanas, leather jackets and boots, they looked as if they had stepped right out of the 1950 ' s. Other students dressed as hippies of the 1960’s. Slogans such as “Peace,” “Make Love, Not War, Get Out of Vietnam and Flower Power” were prevalent around campus. Still other students dressed in clothes suggested by the film The Blues Brothers. In this 1980 movie set in Chicago, stars John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd were out to reunite their band and raise enough money to keep their old parochial school open. West students dressing for this theme wore a variety of outfits. Some dressed in the title characters ' well known black suits, hats and dark glasses. Others dressed as nuns from the paro¬ chial school. Still others recreated members of the National Guard or Nazi Party, who appeared in the film as antagonists of Jake and Elwood Blues. No matter what students wore, though, they enjoyed the change from their usual routine. Eddie Caumiant plays his guitar for fellow flower children Amy Adams and Laura DM. Angie Clayton makes a statement with her sign. Seniors Susan Baum and Missy Theis are the Blues Brothers for Class Distinction Day. Shawn Koch (right) voices his opinions about the Vietnam War. Freshman Jana Schwalb and Becky Theis (far right) en¬ joy being flower children for a day. Flower Child Day.

All of the talented actors were not on Broadway. West had its own talented ac¬ tors who lit up the stage. West’s produc¬ tions included three one-act plays, the spring musical, The Incredible Jungle Journey of Fenda Maria and The Impor¬ tance of Being Earnest. John Worthing (Jeff Dent) calmly proposes to Gwendolyn Fairfax (Joan Adams). John Worthing (Jeff Dent) thinks carefully before answering a question about women. Miss Prism (Jodi Papproth) talks with the Rev. Chasuble (Andy Goldenhersh). Lady Bracknell (Katie Bush) pays a visit to her neph¬ ew in The Importance of Being Earnest. Theatre 25 CONCERNED CITIZENS Belleville West students and staff took time from their busy schedules to help the community. The Distributive Education class sponsored a Christmas party for twenty-four children. The children received gifts and en¬ joyed the undivided attention of DE stu¬ dents. Freshman civics classes, Hy News , Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Nation¬ al Honor Society helped needy families. Stu¬ dents Against Driving Drunk and Student Council provided the Safe Ride program dur¬ ing the Christmas vacation. In addition, con¬ cerned students and faculty members gave blood during the two Blood Drives held at West. Many others at West also served the community throughout the year. Mike Ackermann takes inventory of the donations. Angie Bishop and Bob Blackston (above) organize the donations from the civics classes. Dan Alewel and An¬ gie Atteberry (right) watch as Jeremy and Keia play with their new toys. 26 Concerned Citizens Cathi Felts gets in the Christmas spirit as she watches Lindsay open her gifts.

He purchased a balloon from French Club, a pompon from Hy News and a facial painting from Student Council. 28 Fund Raisers Cheerleaders Kristi Dunck and Kim Zimmermann sell Rootin’ Rags to Maroon fans. The Marching Maroons form an assembly line to make pizzas. Students found many ways to raise money for school organizations. A new fund raiser was the car wash sponsored by the Junior Class. DE members sold candles, candy and Christmas items. 00 students also sold Christmas items as well as sweat suits. The Bellevinois sold popcorn at home football games and co-sponsored the Donkey Bas¬ ketball Game. Marching Band members made and sold pizzas. Student Council tried a variety of fund raisers. Other money mak¬ ers included the Magazine Drive and numer¬ ous bake sales. Joe Crossno. high salesman of the 1986 Magazine Drive, speaks to freshmen about selling techniques.

At right, school nurse Mrs. Betty Bolt instructs Dawn White on how to care for her sprained knee. Even with his broken arm. Brian Van Osdale (above) keeps up with his class work. Melissa Damann (left) makes it to class on time, even though her injury slows her down. Injuries plagued many Belleville West students this year, but they did not let the injuries keep them down. Broken arms, sprained ankles, broken legs and surgery took some Belleville West students out of the action temporarily. After having time to recover, the students were back in the swing of things. Indeed. West students proved true the saying that when the go¬ ing gets tough, the tough get going. John Pry, who had surgery on his leg, takes a break between classes. Mike Eiskant catches up on his school work after having surgery on his arm. 30 Injuries Jody Perkins (above) manages to keep going, even with two broken arms. Vernon Jones (left) does not let knee surgery stop him. After having an operation on her heel, Jodi Prindable gets back into her daily routine. With third degree burns on her arm. Tracy Stratton tries to keep her mind on her work. Juli Hilgert (left) manages to hobble down the Main Building stairs with her sprained ankle. Injuries 31 Michelle Webb gives support to Irene Angelou. who injured her knee. TIME OUT The old adage that all good things must come to an end held true for West students. They worked hard in and out of the class¬ room, but their energy sometimes waned. At times, students could be seen resting, relax¬ ing, or snoozing around campus. Because of busy schedules, getting a moment to take a deep breath or catch a few winks became a necessity. Lizzie Burton. Jason Betz and Jason Clasquin take a break from the festivities of Spirit Week. Cheryl Ven- orsky (right) puts her feet up for a few minutes. Sheri Fox takes a breather at the end of her seventh hour aerobics class. 32 Time Out ENTHUSIASTIC STUDENTS cheer at the first pep assembly of the year. Mr. Gary Twesten dresses for Spirit Week. Don ' t be just a musician, or just an athlete, or just an actor or actress. Try everything and see what you really like. Ian Shepherd Class of 1988 Senior year finally arrived — the final year of high school that had consumed the thoughts of the Class of ’88 since August, 1984. Was it all that the seniors thought it would be? What stood out among the year’s events? Off-campus lunch was the one privi¬ lege that all the seniors had anticipated. Even though the cafeteria had a wider variety of food this year, seniors still liked having the freedom to eat wherever they wanted. Of course, with choice came some problems. As Lisa Heafner pointed out, “Deciding where to go when all of your friends want to go somewhere different can cause argu¬ ments.” Getting back to school in time for the next class was another problem seniors faced. “Road construction, trains, and lack of parking spaces nearly made us late numerous times,” recalled Ryan Cady. “We were late getting back sever¬ al times. We were beginning to run out of excuses for Mr. Petri,” related an¬ other student. Tiffany Ackermann: Floats. History Club. French Club. Concert Choir. Bellevilettes. Cho¬ rus. NHS. Prom. JFF Slow service at some area restaurants was another source of tension for the seniors who ventured off campus for lunch. “We once had to eat our pizza in five minutes on the way back to school,” Michele Heet said. For many students the donkey bas¬ ketball game was the highlight of the year. “We made fun of the seniors for three years because we thought it looked so easy, but it wasn’t,” com¬ mented Karen Ritzel. “It was hilarious the way some seniors kept on going while the donkeys kept still,” laughed Joan Adams. On the serious side, students who could not give blood last year were look¬ ing forward to this year’s blood drives. Some seniors were not sure if they would be able to go through with it. Den¬ ise Goldsmith echoed the feelings of many when she stated, “I would really like to give blood because it can help many people, but I ' m not sure I can stand to have a needle stuck in my arm and watch my blood drain away into a Joan Adams: Orchestra. Musical. One-Acts. The¬ atre (Vice-Pres). Thespians (Sec). Marching Band. Remon. Bellevinois, JFF. Prom bag.” Bill Martin agreed and added, “It takes a student who can stomach the thought of losing blood, something I can’t do.” Although graduation seems like a joy¬ ous occasion, it too had a serious side and it brought out mixed feelings in most seniors. As Emily Thompson said, “I am happy because I’ll be moving on to big¬ ger and better things, but I’m sad since I’ll never see some of the people here at West again.” What advice do seniors have for the underclassmen who will be seniors themselves one day? “Get involved as much as you can. Don’t be just a musi¬ cian, or just an athlete, or just an actor or actress. Try everything and see what you really like,” Ian Shepherd suggest¬ ed. “Enjoy it while you can. It goes by very fast. Make the best of it,” Derek Betz advised. Most seniors agreed with Derek. The past four years seemed to fly by. It seems like only yesterday that the members of the Class of ’88 were fresh¬ men.

John Ford lass of 1989 What, if anything, should be changed at Belleville West? A common answer given by juniors was a desire for open campus privileges. Some juniors such as Erin Sears felt these privileges should be extended to include only juniors and seniors. Others, including Dawn Anna, felt that everyone should be entitled to open campus. Joel Eggerding favored abolishing mandatory physical education classes, and Jeff Robinson wanted a men’s volley¬ ball team. Renee DeFrates and Katie Bush asked for more time between classes and longer lunch periods. Rob Dyer offered a different view. “I would have a heightened awareness of the embarrassments which result from having strangers look into occupied stalls which lack the common convenience of a door,” Rob stated. Juniors were also asked what made their junior year different from the first two years at West. Many cited knowing more people and knowing more in general. Be¬ ing specific, Summer Johnston said, “I finally met a decent guy.” On the other hand, Leia Raphaelidis responded, ‘‘Not much changed. I just had more classes with seniors.” “The best thing about being a junior was the hope that we had only one more year after this one,” John Ford explained. Jennifer Shaw added, “I just liked not being a freshman or sophomore.” Not everything went well for some ju¬ niors. ‘‘The time I had a ‘Kick Me’ sign on my back for a whole month was the worst. People kept kicking me. I fell down the stairs and I couldn’t figure out why,” Geoff Bay related. The school nurse, however, could not recall the incident. Looking ahead to senior year, Johnna Rogers said, ‘‘I look forward to donkey basketball and fewer classes.” Jennifer Amlung expressed the feelings of many juniors. ‘‘I look forward to going out to lunch and not having to eat school food any more,” Jennifer said. Other juniors looked forward to the prom, choosing a college, no curfew, no study hall, gradu¬ ation, and world peace. Certainly changes are in store for the soon-to-be seniors.

They were no longer the low men on the totem pole. ‘‘I felt cooler and more confident than when I started my freshman year,” explained Debbie Te- drick. “It was so neat because I felt su¬ perior to some of the new kids,” said Matt Johnson. As the year progressed, many memo¬ rable experiences occurred that will be remembered by the Class of ’90. Soph¬ omores showed tremendous spirit at ev¬ ery assembly, sporting event and activ¬ ity. They also marched supportively be¬ hind their class float on Hobo Day. More personal experiences will also be remembered. “What I will remember most in future years is not being teased. It is fun being able to tease freshmen and not be teased yourself,” joked Ra¬ chael Bates. “I will always remember the respect I received as a sophomore but did not get as a freshman,” said Dayna Bone. Being a sophomore also brought greater responsibility. “I had to be a good role model for younger students so they didn’t act stupid,” said Mike Swearingen proudly. “The classes got a lot harder and the teachers expected more,” recalled Christy Pirtle. Many sophomores took driver’s edu¬ cation during the school year. They con¬ centrated intently on putting the car in the right gear at the right time and trying to parallel park without smashing the car. Many sophomores started planning their future years at Belleville West. “I am going to use my time wisely,” ex¬ plained Ryan Neal. Dayna Bone stated, “As I move up toward graduation, I am looking forward to more independence in our classes, study halls and lunches.” Matt Johnson wants to meet new people and have “lots of fun.” The sophomore year has been a busy one. It has been a year full of hard work, fun and excitement. Sophomores have accomplished many goals, but they re¬ alize that in their next two years at Belle¬ ville West they will have many new and different goals to reach. They will come back in the fall as upperclassmen, full of anticipation and ready for more fun and excitement.

On that day, members of the Class of ‘91 began a new chapter in their lives. Many had anxiously waited over the summer for the beginning of school and wondered what it would be like as high school students. Most freshmen found that crowded hallways were a problem for them. “There were so many students in the halls between classes that it was hard to get to your locker and then to class on time,” stated Paul Wagner. “When you had to rush to get to class on time you didn’t have much time to talk with friends,” pointed out Eric Beasley. Freshmen also found that high school brought increased responsibility. Alvin Kirkwood said, “The work here is much harder than at my old school.” Melissa Damann commented, “The teachers hand out more homework and seem to expect much more from you than they did at my previous school.” On the other hand, “The teachers here seem to care about the students,” said Kristie Kramer. West’s cafeteria system was different from the freshmen’s former schools. It gave them a choice of what kind of food they wanted to eat each day. As Stacey Fiers said, “I liked choosing what I want¬ ed to eat, not what the cooks wanted to give me.” The best things about the cafeteria, in the opinion of the freshmen, were the sundae bar, the large tables that fit many people and the jukebox. Nearly all the freshmen complained about the cafeteria’s failure to serve soda during the lunch hours (a state law). “I wish they would serve soda at lunch, not just in the morning and after¬ noon. Some of us don’t have free hours, or we don’t like drinking soda at 8 a.m.,“ said Susan Hohlt. “I don’t see why we could have soda with our donuts and not soda with our sandwiches,” one freshman complained. Overall, freshmen found more to like than to dislike at West. Kevin Barnett and Rob Arnold liked “getting to meet new people and making new friends.” Dennis Liu appreciated that “West has many different clubs and sports that stu¬ dents could join.” Laurie Dintelmann liked “the chance to go outside between classes to see that the real world was still there — even though this was a disadvantage on rainy days.” Ali Abutharif Tricia Ackerman Mike Ackermann Amy Adamson Christy Allison Brian Altemeier Ben Alves Scott Alves Julie Amos Stacy Angelou Debbie Anna Rob Arnold Pam Arpin Javier Arzola Kevin Auer E.J.

All have ‘‘main jobs” outside education. Board Presi¬ dent Gary Hemmer is vice-president of Magna Group, Inc. He was selected one of the Outstanding Young Men of Amer¬ ica for 1987. Mr. Robert Nebgen, Board vice-president, owns and operates Neb¬ gen Auto Electric, Inc. Mr. Edward Bur¬ ris is retired. He was a supervisor at Monsanto Chemical Company. Mr. Wesley Krummrich owns Bob’s Flower Shop. Mr. Leonard Moore is a retired industrial engineer who had worked at the American Steel Foundry. Mr. George Nold is retired from being Title Oper¬ ations Officer at Chicago Title Insurance Company. Mrs. Barbara Slocomb is a housewife. These seven School Board members were elected by voters in District 201. In addition, Mrs. Jean Nelson served as Board Secretary and Mr. Ralph Durango was the Board Attorney. The question that lingers in most minds is “Why?” Why take time out of their lives to serve on the District 201 School Board? ‘‘Most Board members have a genuine concern for the commu¬ nity, particularly the educational sys¬ tem,” according to Mrs. Nelson. ‘‘We have an excellent Board. The Board members are doing a very good job of seeing that quality education continues in our district,” commented Mr. Hem¬ mer, an East graduate. Mr. Nebgen, a West graduate, explained that he decid¬ ed to serve on the Board ‘‘to give some¬ thing back to the community that gave me a good education.” Mr. Nebgen ad¬ ded, “I like to see the kids start their careers with a good education and hope that I was a small part of it.” Mrs. Slo¬ comb, like many other Board members, has always been interested in educa¬ tion. “I feel that being on the Board is a learning experience and I want to keep up the good educational system,” she said. Belleville Township High School Dis¬ trict 201 is indeed fortunate to have such dedicated individuals “moonlight¬ ing” on the School Board. 120 Board Members of the District 201 Board of Education are (Bottom Row) Mrs Barbara Slocomb. Mr. Gary Hemmer. Mr Edward Burris; (Top Row) Mr George “Bill ’ Nold, Mr. Wesley Krummrich. Mr. Leonard Moore and Mr Robert Nebgen District 201 administrators were Dr. John R. Dosier, Superintendent; Mr. Douglas Dahm, Administrative Assis¬ tant; and Mr. Eugene Sawalich, Busi¬ ness Manager. Dr. Dosier has served as Superinten¬ dent since July, 1985. Before that, he had been Assistant Superintendent for eighteen years. Mr. Dahm, who had been an English teacher and an Assis¬ tant Principal at West, was also named to his present position in 1985. Mr. Sawalich has been the District Business Manager since 1971. Administrators responsible for man¬ aging the West campus were Principal Jerry Turner and Assistant Principals Joe Chmeleck, Judy Duncan, and Rob¬ ert Petri. Mr. Turner, who has been prin¬ cipal for twenty years, was formerly a social studies teacher and a basketball coach. Mr. Chmeleck taught speech courses and directed plays. Mrs. Dun¬ can was previously an English teacher and publications adviser. Mr. Petri taught Industrial Arts. Just as students moonlight in other areas, so do the administrators. Dr. Do¬ sier enjoys going to auctions in his spare time. Besides spending time with his wife and three children, Mr. Dahm likes to go duck hunting. He also plays on the staff softball team. Mr. Sawalich is an IHSA football official. This year he refer¬ eed one of the class 5A state final games. In that game, Joliet Catholic de¬ feated Peoria Richwoods. Mr. Turner loves to be with his grandchildren in his free time. He also enjoys reading. Mrs. Duncan, who has a son in sixth grade, is a member of the Emge Ellis Parents’ Club, and helps with Boy Scout Troop 12. “When you have a child, you find that you spend a lot of time attending his activities, she explained. Mr. Chme¬ leck enjoys activities connected with his home. “We live on a farm and I like all the things that are included, Mr. Chme¬ leck said. He added that he likes eating his wife’s cooking and slaughtering his own livestock. Mr. Petri enjoys water skiing and “about any other outdoor sport. He is also a member of the Belle¬ ville Kiwanis Club. Certainly the administrators are well- rounded individuals who enjoy a variety of activities. District 201 administrators are Dr. John R. Dosier (seated), superintendent; Mrs. Mr Eugene Sawalich. Business Manager. Jean Nelson. Board secretary; Mr Douglas Dahm. Administrative Assistant; and 122 Administration ■■ “I wanted the experience of working with students in a different way.” Mr. Dennis Butts Staff - Each day of the school year, staff members performed work that was vital to the running of the school. What many people did not see, however, was the work teachers, counselors, and other staff members did outside school. These moonlighting activites included teaching Sunday School, serving on boards of community organizations and participating in team sports. Staff mem¬ bers also spent time with their families, often playing chauffeur for their children. Some found time to work on various hobbies. Others traveled, studied, or taught elsewhere. During the summer, for example, Mr. Dennis Butts worked at Super Camp, an accelerated learning program aimed at high school students. ”1 wanted the ex¬ perience of working with students in a different way,” Mr. Butts said. “I knew I could use what I learned with the stu¬ dents here,” he added. Throughout the year, Miss Jane Mueth taught a psychological technique called Transformational Fantasy. Ac¬ cording to Miss Mueth, “Transforma¬ tional Fantasy is a technique where you use imagery to change your perception of yourself as well as the world around you.” Staff members’ reasons for their ac¬ tivities were as varied as their interests. Mr. Fritz Kunze, who climbed mountains during the summer, said that it was the companionship and the strong satisfac¬ tion in making a new peak that made him want to pursue this hobby. Mr. Larry Obenchain liked to tinker with his ’57 Chevy because “it’s something differ¬ ent.” Mr. Gene Maurer dabbled in the stock market. “I had developed an inter¬ est in it over about ten or twelve years from television programs and I like to make money,” he stated. On the other hand, Mrs. Bonnie Gess- ford’s hobby is her family. “I have three young sons at home and I just don’t have the time for anything else,” she said. Indeed, Belleville West staff members did more than just work at school, and these outside interests were often re¬ flected in their work at West.

THE MAIN JOB Formula for success Some students ‘double up’ for more math Part of the time spent by many stu¬ dents at the main job of school was in math classes. The different courses of¬ fered a chance for all of the students to test their skills at being mathematicians. Freshmen could take courses ranging from Basic Math to Honors Algebra, while many sophomores decided to work at learning Geometry. Juniors often chose to take Advanced Algebra. College Algebra - Trigonometry was available for seniors who wished to have a fourth year of math. Those students with high mathematical ability many times “doubled up” as soph¬ omores, taking both Geometry and Ad¬ vanced Algebra. That way they could take a “fifth year” of math, or Calculus, during their senior yea r. “It’s difficult, but once you practice, the problems become easier,” pointed out junior Mary Helen Al- vey. Regardless of the course, a familiar cry was, “I don’t understand this!” Still, as the year progressed, that cry was heard less often as the students learned to work effectively. Despite this, many students were glad to see the end of the school year so that they could have a break from the formulas and problems that had con¬ sumed their minds for the approximately one hundred eighty days that school was in session. Jody Smyth works on an Apple llgs computer in Programming in Pascal, one of many courses of¬ fered in the Mathematics Department. Above.

Teachers and students alike en¬ joy the thrill of archery. Although Mr. John Reed says he spends most of his time chasing the arrows that miss his target and shoots strictly for pleasure, others take the sport very seriously. Senior David Flow¬ ers, junior Jeff Griffin and freshman Gary Flowers spend much of their spare time practicing for competi¬ tions. According to Jeff, archery takes up a lot of time, but he enjoys the sense of accom¬ plishment. Matt Hoertel listens to Mr. Bob Yagge’s instructions in Practical Geometry. At left.

THE MAIN JOB To be or not to be English classes fit students’ abilities This year’s English Department has continued to reach for better ways to meet the students’ needs, according to Mr. George Shea. To accomplish this, Mr. Shea and English Department members set up a few basic goals for the depart¬ ment. These goals were: to develop a sensitivity to what it is to be human; to develop the ability to write, read, and speak effectively; to develop an aware¬ ness of literary thoughts of predecessors as well as contemporaries; and finally, to become aware of differing sets of values and to develop the ability to choose wise¬ ly among them. These goals were to sup¬ port the main goal of familiarizing the stu¬ dents with the English language and lit¬ erature. For the first time English students had the chance of taking honors English courses in the freshman through senior levels. In past years only juniors and sen¬ iors had been offered these classes. These and the other English classes were designed to fit each student’s English ability level. The classes ranged from Chapter 1 for those who found reading difficult, to Honors English 7-8 for those who excelled in English. The new honors program demonstrated the English De¬ partment’s dedication to providing the best for its students. West’s English program has grown, but it has not changed. Just like the year be¬ fore, freshmen took English 1-2, reviewing basic English skills. Sophomores were in Oral Communication making speeches and learning interpersonal communica¬ tion skills one semester, and in English 3 studying literature and writing the other semester. Juniors and seniors chose their own classes from a variety of electives offering something for everyone. Mass Media, Composition, Journalism, Creative Writing and Technical Theater were just a few of the choices. Above. Sherry Koehler works on a Greek mythology assignment in her sixth hour English 1 class. Above, Kelly Klotz, Angie Weber, Trisha Bridges and Sara Spivey rehearse a commercial for Mass Media.

Mi¬ chelle Haynes, Karen Ritzel and Lynne Willett participated in the Miss T.E.E.N. Pageant held August 29. One hundred young women from Illinois gave their all to place first in the contest. The winner of the pageant received a $10,000 schol¬ arship, a diamond watch, paid in full tuition for a modeling education and a trip to the national Miss T.E.E.N. Pageant. Contestants in the nation- al Miss T.E.E.N. Pageant spent four days in Springfield, Illinois, learning dance routines and practicing for the __ pageant itself. Above. Pam Uhrig. Laurie Lautz.

THE MAIN JOB Scientific breakthroughs Student scientists rank first at JETS contest This year many advances were made in the Science Department. The Board of Education supplied ten more microscopes in addition to providing a video camera that allowed students to view the microscopic specimens on the television screen. This piece of equipment was very helpful to the learning process because the teacher could explain what was under the micro¬ scopes more accurately. Not only microscopes were added to the Science Department, however. The addi¬ tion of the new science teacher, Mr. Frank Cange, brought about a new competitive activity for West students. Mr. Cange spon¬ sored and helped to prepare West students for regional competitions based on aca¬ demic ability in the fields of science and English. One such competition was the JETS contest held at Belleville Area Col¬ lege on February 19. First place winners for the team included Leah Farinas in biology, Andy Clemens in physics and Henry Lee in mathematics. Elyse Spaite finished second in biology and Jon Berry placed second in both physics and computers. Kevin Maurer finished third in mathematics and Andy Clemens took third place in computers. Overall, West finished first among the eight large schools that attended the contest. At the state contest March 31, the squad placed sixth. Above.

THE MAIN JOB 140 Ooh la la Students have fun while learning languages Foreign language students participated in many activities during the year. In Mrs. Mary Oberneufemann’s third year Spanish class, students made cards out of red and white paper and decorated them to cele¬ brate Valentine’s Day. “It was interesting to give a friend taking another language a Spanish Valentine,” recalled third year stu¬ dent Lisa Witcher. Laura Dill thought the best day in Spanish class was the time her class cut out paper animals and made Bingo cards out of them. The German classes used class time to explore the language that is familiar to many long-time Belleville residents. The German students also got together on a Friday night to have dinner at Eberhard’s, a German restaurant in Waterloo, Illinois. The French classes participated in fes¬ tivities such as celebrating Mardi Gras. All of the French classes gathered together after school to watch the operetta Carmen and to sample cheese as well as chocolate and peanut butter fondues. Mr. Farren Sto¬ ver, Foreign Language Department Chair¬ man, and his fourth year class had a Christ¬ mas party. They ate different kinds of pud¬ ding, cream puffs and assorted French cakes. Indeed, the language classes proved that students could learn and still have fun. Chris Powell and Eric Engler study Spanish. Above. Mark Heinz prepares to play Bingo in his Spanish class. At right.

We the people Social studies leads constitution celebration Since 1987 marked the two hun¬ dredth anniversary of the United States Constitution, great emphasis was placed on cele brating the event. Mr. Robert Hanson believed that his de¬ partment led the way. Visitors who ar¬ rived on campus September 12 wit¬ nessed the enthusiasm that many stu¬ dents and faculty members showed in dressing up either in costumes from the colonial period or in red, white and blue. During the year, many different courses were offered in the Social Stud¬ ies Department. As freshmen, most stu¬ dents took Civics. As juniors, students chose the traditional United States His¬ tory course or the United States mini¬ courses, which included America’s West, Men at War, Twenties and Thirties and Nuclear Age. Other subjects offered in the Social Studies Department were American Problems, Government, Phy¬ siography, Psychology. Social Studies, World Geography and World History. To graduate, a student needed one year of United States history (either the tradi¬ tional course or the mini-courses) and one year of either Civics or a combina¬ tion of Government and a consumer education course. In World Geography. Chad Cochran (above) locates a city on the Illinois map.

Right, Cassy Beasley works on her income statement during her accounting class. 144 Business Tjr BUSINESS - Byte by byte Business classes keep up with technology The Business Department offered a variety of courses, which gave the stu¬ dents a wide range of computer and business experience. The classes of¬ fered were Accounting, Business Eng¬ lish, Business Law, Business Math, CO¬ BOL, Computer Information Processing, Computer Software, Consumer Educa¬ tion, Electronic Office Systems, Intro¬ duction to Business and Computers, In¬ troduction to Business Management, Marketing Distribution, Personal Typing, Shorthand and Typing. Although no new courses were offered this year, there were some additions and changes in the curriculum. The classes were far more computer-oriented than in past years. Second year typing classes were taught on word processors and Personal Typ¬ ing students also got the chance to oc¬ casionally work on them. One of the major points stressed in all of the business courses was the im¬ portance of computers. Therefore, the business department attempted to have all of the classes do some work on the computers. Senior Kendra Kar- stens stated, “These classes give the students a good understanding of what the business world is like.” Andrea Poepping and Jenny Loeffler type an assignment during their Business Communications class.

George Schneider takes notes in General Shop (Drawing). Below, Michelle Rawson and Michelle Mc¬ Clure work on a project in Family Living. Slice of life Students cook, weld, draft and build Through Home Economics and Indus¬ trial Education classes, students were given the opportunity to work as home¬ makers, meal planners, construction en¬ gineers, architects, woodworkers, auto¬ motive mechanics, nutritionists, general shop workers, drafters, electricians and welders. Some Industrial Education stu¬ dents also worked as shop foremen dur¬ ing General Shop classes. The many varied occupations enabled students to create useful articles such as clothes, furniture and tools. Courses in Industrial Education included General Shop, Ma¬ chine Shop, Electronics, Architectural Drawing, Mechanical Drawing, Architec¬ tural Engineering, Wood Technology, Construction Occupations and Auto Mechanics. The highlight of the year for Construction students was the building of two storage sheds which were sold to raise money to buy the wood used in wood shop classes. Students in Family Living learned how to deal with family relationships, including parenthood and caring for children. The knowledge and confidence gained by such experiences prepared the students not only for ca¬ reers in related vocations but also for the future in general. Above.

Tom Hatley shapes a ceramic b owl while Cloice Lybarger and Tracy Hamby watch his technique. Imagine that Artists use imagination to create projects In Belleville West’s Art Department, students had a chance to use their imaginations. Each student was given the opportunity to show his creativity in courses that emphasized drawing, painting, ceramics, crafts and sculpting. Mr. Doug Eskra, Art Department Chair¬ man, reported that enrollment in art classes was down this year. “Because the requirements for graduation have been raised in other areas, fewer stu¬ dents are able to take art courses even when they really want these courses. There just isn’t room in their schedules for everything,” he said. “West has one of the best Art Depart¬ ments around,” insisted Tom Hafley. “Mr. Eskra helps us to shape our artistic abilities and to think more creatively,” Tom added. The students’ works are displayed in cases located in the cafete¬ ria and the library. For students such as Angie Grewe, “Having our work dis¬ played for the whole school to see is the best reward we could get for our hard work.” In art classes, the students are encouraged to develop their imagina¬ tions and creativity. This gives them the incentive to be good at what they like to do, pointed out Mr. Eskra. Janine Hoff sketches a car in Mr. Doug Eskra’s Ad¬ vanced Drawing class.

He teaches all levels of I classes from nov¬ ice to very ad¬ vanced. He works in the summer as a lifeguard to help pay for college. 150 Health, PE HEALTH, P.E. Apple a day Health, P.E. teach mental, physical fitness Students were required to take eight semesters of Physical Education. This eight semesters included one semester each of Health and Driver Education. As freshmen, students were not given any choices as to the sport they took. The sport was chosen by the teacher accord¬ ing to the weather conditions. Sopho¬ mores, juniors and seniors were given a choice in P.E., but some complained that they did not get what they really wanted. Although some students did not enjoy P.E. and preferred to be in a regular classroom, most students thought it wa s a great way to exercise and break up the daily classroom routine. In the spring, many just enjoyed being outside. As freshmen, Belleville West students were required to take Health. In this class, students first learned the “wellness con¬ cept,” which taught students to be healthy in both mind and body. Next, Health students learned the causes of death and how to exercise and eat for a longer, healthier life. Sex education on reproduction, birth control, pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases pro¬ vided valuable information. Then, after learning how to save their own lives, the students were taught to save others. The Health students practiced Cardio Pulmo¬ nary Resuscitation on Annie the dummy, and the Heimlich Maneuver was demon¬ strated until the students felt they could save a choking victim without hesitation. According to freshman Sarah Baum, Health was a very interesting and infor¬ mative class.” Freshman Marty Bauer ad¬ ded, Health taught me how to change my lifestyle for the better.

Driver Education not only taught stu¬ dents driving skills, but also fulfilled one semester of the eight required for Phys¬ ical Education. The course was organ¬ ized into four-day cycles. On Day One, students were in the classroom learning the rules of the road. On Day Two, they were behind the wheel in the simulator. On Day Three, they were back in the classroom. On Day Four, they were fi¬ nally in one of the three Driver Education cars out on the open road, experiencing the real thing.

Football 165 CHEERLEADING Enthusiasm, creativity and precision made the cheerleaders a winning squad. At the Centralia Holiday Tournament in December, the cheerleaders won first place. West cheerleaders have won this competition for eight consecutive years and for sixteen of the eighteen times that they have competed. At Tennessee Tech¬ nical University’s summer camp, the girls won first place in cheer and second place in sideline. “Cheerleading at West can be physically grueling, but it is also fun,” ac¬ cording to Kolette Davis. “Cheerleading is a sport that requires physical skills, devel¬ ops leadership and teaches teamwork,” added Jill Klein. Cheerleading at West would not have the winning reputation it has without Mrs. Merle Guthrie. Mrs. Guthrie, who retires at the end of the 1987-88 school year, has been the coach of cheerleading squads on this campus for twenty-eight years. “Cheerleading with Mrs. Guthrie has taught me many values, especially to be on time,” explained Dana Holmes.

Staff adds supplement The 1988 Bellevinois staff added a first to the history of year¬ books on the West Campus with the debut of the spring supple¬ ment. In the past, the March deadline prevented coverage of spring sports and other spring events such as the Donkey Basketball game, Prom, Junior Fun Festival and Graduation. With the supple¬ ment, students were still able to get their 240-page yearbooks at the end of May and have coverage of the spring events. From September through May, staff members w ere faced with the problems of taking hundreds of pictures, designing layouts, and writing. Most staff members had only half an hour each day to work on the book, unlike previous years where the entire staff met for an hour. This lack of time caused many problems as deadlines approached. To finance the yearbook, staff members sponsored a Hobo Day dance, sold popcorn and programs at football games, co-spon¬ sored the Donkey Basketball game, held bake sales, sold ads to local businesses, and, of course, took yearbook orders. Just for fun, the staff also entered the Hall Decorating Contest during Spirit Week and decorated the hall above the Bellevinois office.

Hy News makes changes Belleville West witnessed a surpris¬ ing first issue of the Hy News in Sep¬ tember. Both the style and the pro¬ duction of the school newspaper had changed. One of the most noticeable changes was the use of newsprint in¬ stead of the sturdier white paper used in the past. The size of the paper was also reduced. Sacrificing the eight large issues per year, the Hy News instead turned out twelve smaller is¬ sues, allowing the publication to be more current. Production of the pa¬ per was sped along by the use of two Macintosh SE computers and a lazer printer. The Hy News found the new equipment necessary because of ris¬ ing printing costs. According to Hy News adviser Mrs. Nancy Smith, the computers gave the staff greater con¬ trol over the production of the paper, as well as facilitating competition in paper quality with other schools. The investment was considered for some time before the actual purchase was made. Other improvements to pro¬ duction included a new darkroom and a separate business staff. The Hy News published news about the school’s activities as well as other stories that were of interest to high school students. In each is¬ sue. a section was devoted to inter¬ views with West teachers, bringing students and teachers a little closer. Hy News 179 Di ihutb e, EduOtHm DE member wins state post Distributive Education was a three- dimensional cooperative program. The first dimension was the class, which was held every day from 8:30 to 10:25. The second dimension was the training stations or jobs in the community. The third dimension was the Distributive Education Club. Membership in the club was limited to students in the Dis¬ tributive Education class and meetings were usually held during class on Fri¬ days. Club activities included breakfast meetings with guest speakers, a Christmas party for underprivileged children, an Employer Appreciation Dinner and several fund racers. Club members also traveled to Chicago, Ed- wardsville and Springfield. At the state elections held in Chicago, Kay Guetter- man was elected state vice-president. At the area contest held in Edwards- ville, many club members won awards. First place awards went to Kristy Hof- meister, Tonya Keck and Christy York. Taking second place honors were Kay Guetterman and Lynda Turner. Cathi Felts and Jennifer Pahl received fourth place awards. Competency awards given to students scoring seventy per¬ cent or better went to Cathi Felts, Kay Guetterman, Kristy Hofmeister, Tonya Keck, Justine LaBrier, Jennifer Pahl, Ann Roberson, Lynda Turner and Christy York.

Club members com¬ peted in skill and office knowledge contests on area, state and national levels. During the Christmas season, the club members participated in the K- mart Underprivileged Program. They bought Christmas presents for about thirty-five underprivileged children. In addition, they collected clothes and canned goods for the Salvation Army. In the spring, the group went on a field trip to a St. Louis business. The group also plans to visit Six Flags during the summer. During the school year, the Office Occupations Club members partici¬ pated in several money-making pro¬ jects. With the money that they earned, the club members bought a gift which they donated for the use of future Office Occupations Club mem¬ bers. In the past, Office Occupations Club members have purchased a vid¬ eo cassette recorder, an adding ma¬ chine, a photocopier and a transcrib¬ ing machine. Above.

Council maintains tradition Student Council undoubtedly af¬ fected the social life of Belleville West students. With the help of adviser Mr. Fritz Kunze, Student Council spon¬ sored many activities that have be¬ come school traditions. Council members met during third hour to plan the various activities. Students especially enjoyed the Student Coun¬ cil-sponsored activities during Spirit Week. These included float building, the Pretty Baby Contest, dress-up days, the Hall Decorating Contest and the Miss Maroon coronation. Stu¬ dents also enjoyed the Christmas Dance and sending Valigrams to their friends for Valentine’s Day. This year the Valigrams were delayed by snow. Originally the Valigrams were to be delivered on Thursday February 11, but school was canceled that day be¬ cause of snow and February 12 was a holiday. They were finally delivered on February 15. Student Council also sponsored two Blood Drives and co¬ sponsored the Donkey Basketball Game. Student Council members not only supported school activities, but also helped in the community clean¬ up programs sponsored by the Proud Partners organization. Members of Student Council were chosen by Belleville West students through an election process. 184 Student Council Jon Bell (left) and Kelli Leopold (below left) take the temperatures of blood donors.

Miss Jennifer Sage directed “Every Room With Bath,” Miss Nina Bono directed “Clarabelle the Clock Watcher,” and Dr. David Snowden directed “Pullman Car Hiawatha.” Soon after the one- acts, rehearsals for the Little Theatre Play The Importance of Being Earnest began. This Oscar Wilde comedy was directed by Miss Nina Bono. The pro¬ duction was performed on November 12 and 13. On February 26, the cast and student directors of The Impor¬ tance of Being Earnest traveled to Webster College in Missouri to see the college’s production of this play. The children’s play, Jack Stokes’ The In¬ credible Jungle Journey of Fenda Ma¬ ria , was performed in matinees on Feb¬ ruary 9 and 10 and in the evening on February 13. The biggest production of the year, the Spring Musical, was Pip¬ pin. It was presented on April 21, 22 and 23. To become Thespians, students had to work at least two hundred hours on theatre productions. Members of Thes¬ pian Troupe 369 helped student direct and served as crew chairmen on each play.

This imagi¬ native story was directed by Dr. Rich¬ ard Hunsaker and was performed in matinees for elementary school chil¬ dren on Tuesday and Wednesday, February 8 and 9. The evening perfor¬ mance was originally scheduled for February 11, but snow forced the res¬ cheduling of the play to February 13. The Incredible Jungle Journey of Fenda Maria was an unusual choice because it was more complex than previous children’s plays. The play suggests that a person can be divid¬ ed into two different people. The cast consisted of twenty-one freshmen and sophomores. Dr. David Snowden was the technical director for the pro¬ duction. Miss Jane Mueth handled business matters. Above, the witch doctor (Eddie Caumiant) listens to the birds of the jungle.

The group consisted of students who wanted to help other people and to get to know themselves better. “PEER gave me a better perspective about myself and about other peo¬ ple,” related Toni Hines. PEER coun¬ selors attended Operation Snow¬ flake, drug abuse programs held on junior high levels during the year. These students informed junior high students about drug problems and other related topics. The PEER stu¬ dents were also involved in a YES self-esteem program that concentrat¬ ed on better study habits. In addition, PEER counselors tutored students who needed help in raising their grades. Members of SADD, Students Against Driving Drunk, met with Mr. Bruce Addison, their sponsor, to dis¬ cuss ways to help stop the problem of drunk driving. “More emphasis needs to be placed on the problems of drunk driving among high school students,” pointed out Susan Baum. SADD members went to Edwardsville to listen to the founder of the SADD program. They also sponsored a Christmas taxi service. 192 PEER.

Every person came to the meetings with dif¬ ferent ideas. “Many different ideas are expressed that really make each per¬ son think about God and what Chris¬ tianity is all about, said Jennifer Klein. Each person was willing to share his ideas. During the year, FCA members sold popcorn during basketball games. At Christmas time these students went caroling. FCA members also attended weekend conferences throughout the year. _ Maroon Pride met every Wednesday morning to discuss money making pro¬ jects and ways to raise school spirit. On Hobo Day, these students decorat¬ ed the campus with toilet paper. Dur¬ ing Spirit Week, these spirited club members painted faces of students to boost the pride in Belleville West. Next year, Maroon Pride will sell buttons as their major money maker. “It has been hard trying to make a respectable club, said Mrs. Sheryl Deets. “This club has had to start at the bottom, but they are doing a very good job, she added.

Besides leading the Marching Maroons in parades, the American Flag squad helped the pompon girls and Rifle Squad with their equipment during shows and competi¬ tions. Auxiliary adds flair The American Flag and Rifle Squad and the Pompon Squad, a major section of the Marching Maroons, was led by Mr. Ralph Schlesinger and Miss Robyn Moore. The twenty- eight members of the combined teams began practicing early in August to perform award winning shows throughout the fall. Included in their awards were Overall Outstanding Auxil¬ iary at both the Greater St. Louis Marching Band Competition at Busch Stadium and at the O ' Fallon High School Contest. During July, the girls competed at the National Cheerlead¬ ing Association Competition at Southwest Missouri State Uni¬ versity and won in the precision round. Seniors Lisa Penning¬ ton and Angela Procasky performed in the Macy’s Parade in New York City on Thanksgiving Day. Also, junior Jenny Clas- quin placed tenth in the Individual Drilling Contest held at the NCA Camp. According to senior co-captain Tracy Anglim, Pompon is different from cheerleading because we create our own dances without much supervision. They practice during sev¬ enth hour and after school in the cafeteria. The routines are made up and taught by senior captain Lisa Pennington. Once a week assistant coach Mrs. Merle Guthrie spends a night helping the squad to get ready for performances. Whether a part of the Marching Maroons or the Pompon Squad, they never fail to lose their Mighty Maroon Spirit. Included in the American Flag and Rifle Squad are (Bottom Row) Pam Bailey.

With the help of Mr. Schlesinger and drum majors Mark Schlesinger, Mike Swistak and Tom Sliment, the March¬ ing Maroons had a successful and fun- filled year. During the contest season, the Marching Maroons performed their show throughout the area for many ap¬ preciative crowds. The Marching Band increased school spirit by performing their show at halftime at football games and at pep assemblies. In addi¬ tion, they marched in the Millstadt Homecoming Parade, the Labor Day Parade and the Santa Claus Parade. The Marching Maroons also competed against other area marching bands in contests held in high schools and col¬ leges throughout the state, such as Eastern Illinois University and Illinois State University. One of the highlights of the year was the competition held at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, where they won numerous awards, including sec¬ ond place overall. The Marching Band members plan to take a trip to Colorado June 7 to 13. To help finance this trip, band mem¬ bers held many fund raisers throughout the year. They made and sold pizzas in September and again in May. At var¬ ious times during the school year they sold cheese and sausage, hand soap, soup and croissant sandwiches. They also held an auction in February and sold advertising in their concert pro¬ gram. Joe Knyff helps hand out cheese and sausage for another Marching Band Fund Raiser. Above.

Once students submit¬ ted their works, the Rough Writers selected and edited the best literature for publication. The Rough Writers were guided in their publishing by Miss Jo Lynda Manion, the group’s sponsor. The War Gaming Club calmed the barbarian in many of West’s hob¬ byists by providing a creative and challenging outlet. Every morning, room N208 was filled with the sounds of dice and battle as the club mem¬ bers played various games such as Diplomacy,” Guns of August” and War and Peace.” Mr. Gary Shepek bravely took on the task of being the club sponsor. On a more peaceful note, the Mo¬ del Railroad Club offered West’s train enthusiasts a chance to share collec¬ tions and discover the many fascina¬ tions of model trains and their opera¬ tion. The club met every Monday after school in the basement of House B. Dr. David Snowden, who has been a train enthusiast for years, was the club sponsor. 202 Model R.R..

Mathletes win awards The math team was a group of individuals seeking recognition for their abilities in the scholarly pursuit of “X” and “Y”. The talents of these individuals were directed by Mrs. Marilyn Hughes, Mr. Jeffrey Boyles, Mrs. Dian Thom and Mr. Frank Cange. On November 14, the Maroon Mathletes participated in the Greater St. Louis Math¬ ematics Association contest at St. Louis Community College. After all the mathletes had taken part in the contest, awards were delivered to several members of the math team. Individually, Rob Dyer was third, Henry Lee came in fourth, Jennifer Markwardt was seventh, and Geoff Bay came in tenth for the juniors. Jon Bay took third and Kevin Maurer was eighth for the seniors. Rob Dyer and Henry Lee captured first place as a group for the juniors while seniors Jon Bay and Kevin Maurer took home third. The Maroon Mathletes then ventured onward to Edwardsville to participate in the regional competition of the Illinois Council of Teachers of Math¬ ematics. After sweeping through the competition, they charged into the state competition at Illinois State University at Normal. On March 26, the Mathletes participated in the Southern Illinois Uni¬ versity contest at Carbondale. The members of the math team took part in two in-school competitions on both the state and national levels. Each competition held five contests. The Maroon Mathletes held weekly practices to enhance their mathletic abilites for the contests they participated in each year. The junior-senior math team held their own practices on Monday night. Then the freshman and s ophomore teams had their practices immediately after school on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Practices continued through school holidays as well. Freshman Dennis Liu spoke for the whole team when he said, “Math team; It’s a way of life!” _ The Sophomore Math Team includes (Bottom Row) Kyra Raphaelidis, Lori Albert, Julie Jones, Christine Hipp; (Second Row) Matt Johnson, Mr. Jeff Boyles, Chip Schweiss; (Top Row) Phil Climaco.

(Jiifoy Cflub Students explore the past The History Club started its year by deciding on individual projects and research papers. The students picked topics related to the history of Illinois. Four students also wrote re¬ search essays that were printed in Illinois History Magazine. The four students were Liz Dueker, Steve Par- vin, Kelly Sutter and Laura Wasko. Mr. Vince Torigian, History Club sponsor, helped the students edit their research papers and the short reports accompanying their projects. These papers and projects were then entered in the Illinois State Historical Society Southern Regional History Fair at Rend Lake College March 19. The club raised money through the basketball concession stand and monthly bake sales. At the end of the year, the History Club held an awards night.

Students excel in academics Where else could an Illinois school control the policies of entire nations such as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (Russia), the German Democratic Republic, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam and the Congo than in the Model United Nations. This organiza¬ tion, under the direction of Mr. Robert Hanson, allowed students to exercise various diplomatic techniques through practice sessions and two United Nations sessions at McKen- dree College in the fall and spring. They also held two World Court cases, Israel suing Russia and Kam¬ puchea suing Vietnam. The group met weekly on Thursday evenings to discuss policy and to practice. Indi¬ vidual award winners for the Model United Nations were Jon Bay, Liz Duecker, Robert Dyer and John Hunter, all of whom won Superior Delegate honors at the fall session. The National Honor Society con¬ sisted of the cream of the crop aca¬ demically. Membership was limited to seniors whose grade point averages were 3.5 or better. This year ninety- eight students qualified. Activities in which the group participated includ¬ ed Christmas caroling and helping a needy family.

An Open Letter to Brides-To-Be: Since we opened our first store over a year ago, hundreds of brides-to-be have asked us to help them with questions about planning their upcoming weddings. I recently gave a bridal seminar entitled “Planning Coordinating the Perfect Wedding. ” If you ' ll stop by our store, we’ll give you a copy of that seminar absolutely free. It will show you some ways to save money and help you eliminate some of the hassle in planning your wedding. I have a fabulous concept that few people use. I believe everybody should give fabulous free service. If someone is willing to render free services, they must know an awful lot more than they can sell. I don ' t know how far along you are in planning your wedding, but I sincerely hope this transcript will help you. And if there is any way we can be of service, please call!

Mrs. Merle Guthrie began her teaching career forty-eight years ago at the age of nineteen. She was the youngest teacher in the state. She has spent forty-three years on the Belleville West campus. Prior to teaching in Belleville, Mrs. Guthrie had taught in Broughton and El Dor- edo, Illinois. In the 1950’s when the campus served both high school and junior college, she taught English, speech and math. At West, she continued teaching math, including algebra, geometry (her favorite) and trigo¬ nometry. Mrs. Guthrie’s contributions to the school go far beyond the class¬ room. For example: She helped organize Little The¬ atre and the Thespian troupe in 1949; She organized the Dance Club and taught ballroom dancing to about 150 students; She coached the cheerleading squads for thirty-three years; ‘She coached the pompon squads for fifteen years; She directed the Junior Jam for many years; She coached sophomore math teams; She directed many Little Theatre productions; She coordinated the Junior-Sen¬ ior P rom for many years; She organized and led the drill team of sixty-four girls for five years. She sponsored classes each year. Perhaps one of Mrs. Guthrie’s greatest contributions, however, was in the math department. She inaugurated the double math sys¬ tem. Now, sophomores can take Geometry and Junior Algebra at the same time. Then, they can take Cal¬ culus as seniors. In 1966, Belleville Township High School split into East and West. After twenty-one years at Belleville Township, the split “broke my heart,’’ but after twenty-two years at West, “I know it was the best now,” she said. Throughout Mrs. Guthrie’s career, there have been many changes. The biggest change, she pointed out, has been the increasing number of girls’ activities. In early years, the only involvements for girls were cheerleading and chorus. Now, girls can choose from almost as many activities as boys. No teacher has served District 201 longer than Mrs. Merle Guthrie. Her enthusiasm for learning and her Mighty Maroon spirit were evident in and outside the classroom. After forty-three years as a dedicated teacher and friend, Mrs. Guthrie has become a tradition. “Mrs. Merle Guthrie has left an in¬ delible imprint on this institution which she has served so outstandingly for forty-three years. Her hallmark is, and always has been, excellence. At sixty- seven years young, she continues to have more energy and talent than is believable, and she buttresses these with commitment to and love for this school and its students. Throughout her career, she has been a virtuoso teacher, coach, and director. Among the many characteristics for which she will be remembered are her indomita¬ ble spirit, her colorful personality, and her unwillingness to give quarter to anything less than outstanding effort and achievement. BTHSW, its stu¬ dents, and I personally will miss Mrs. Guthrie greatly. ” Jerry Turner Bellevinois Colophon The 1988 Bellevinois was printed by Josten ' s American Year¬ book Company in Topeka, Kansas. The local consultant was Mr. Ed Sugden, and the in-plant representative was Mrs. Rose¬ mary Petrone. The cover design was created by Bellevinois adviser Mrs. Pat Matysik and Josten’s staff artist Mr. Steve Maxwell. The theme, “moonlighting,” was developed by Lisa Witcher. Some 1,600 copies of the Bellevinois were produced and sold. The book is smyth sewn and printed on eighty pound gloss paper. The laminated cover uses all process color. The end- sheets are white with black 395 applied. Most type is Helvetica. Headline sizes are usually 36 point, 24 point, or 18 point. Body copy is 10 point, and captions are 8 point. Most copy was set on an Apple llgs co mputer using Josten’s Auto Copy I program. The Bellevinois staff consisted of one freshman, five sopho¬ mores, six juniors and twenty-one seniors. Most of the staff met for twenty-five minutes during 4a. Previously, Bellevinois staffs met for a full period. Because of scheduling conflicts caused by the increase in courses required by Illinois colleges, most stu¬ dents did not have room in their schedules for a full period of yearbook. Thus, some staff members had to work evenings and weekends to complete the 1988 Bellevinois. Special recognition goes to Nelson Arzola, who spent many extra hours working with the computer; to Cathy Hotz and Karen Ritzel, who slaved tirelessly on the advertising section; and to photographers Scott Radden, Rick Wangelin, Rodney Renner and Jay Kish for the great camera work. Since the final deadline was in March, several events could not be covered. To remedy this situation, the Bellevinois staff is publishing a supplement which will be available in August. In¬ cluded in the supplement will be spring sports and activities such as the prom and graduation. Students will have the option of paying the postage and having their supplement mailed to them or picking up their supplement at school. 237 1987-88 IN REVIEW The year of 1987-1988 was character¬ ized by political action. The nation stood up, looked around and decided to make some changes. This sentiment grew in geometric proportions as 1988 presiden¬ tial candidates traveled America telling everyone what was wrong and what should be done about these wrongs. This year of “eye-opening campaigns made America reevaluate itself in a way that few other years could. With the stock market crash of October and the threat of nucle¬ ar war ever increasing, the pictures of to¬ morrow looked pretty dim. Something had to be done; someone had to act; and several people did just that. Perhaps the greatest of cries came from the music industry. Billy Joel per¬ formed an explosive concert in Moscow, an effort to bring about closer ties be¬ tween the people of the two super pow¬ ers. Also, many musicians protested against the evils around them. For exam¬ ple, Paul Simon joined several musicians from South Africa to condemn apartheid in that country. In addition to attacking specific problems such as these, other musicians continued to make observa¬ tions about the world in their lyrics. On the lighter side, television exposed the world to a multitude of political ac¬ tions and forecasts. As might be expect¬ ed, the news brought many eye-openers to the public’s attention such as the rise and fall of Gary Hart and Jim and Tammy Bakker, but it was a television series that gave America the freshest look. Max Hea¬ droom made his move from Coke com¬ mercials to television shows with a con¬ troversial series set “twenty minutes into the future. The comedy featured a fas¬ cist, television-controlled government. Also, a comical ambassador from the planet Melmac landed in the television sets of many people on the television show “ALF . In the sports world, the 1988 Winter Olympics were televised dur¬ ing the month of February, bringing the unique Olympic spirit of good will and competition into the homes of America. The climax of the year’s political activi¬ ties came with the signing of the strategic arms control treaty between the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Many skeptics viewed this new agreement as a political move strictly for publicity rather than as a true desire for peace, but the majority of political ob¬ servers saw the treaty as a big step to¬ ward a brighter and safer tomorrow. In addition to this, the Soviet Union an¬ nounced plans to withdraw its military forces from Afghanistan. All of these political actions indicate, if nothing else, that the people of the world recognize the need for change. The world community, particularly the United States, took many stands and professed many ideas, but the true value of these actions can only be determined by what they produce for the generations of to¬ morrow. Meanwhile, the rest of the world can only pray that these actions are more than just the moonlighting of the world’s political and social “bosses.
