YOU DUN IT!!! You, the students of Belleville West, made this year memorable, and in many ways, the things that you did every day, as part of the school day routine, were the biggest part of the contribution that you made. You don ' t have to be the captain of the basketball team or the genius of the class to make a contribution to the workings and atmosphere of | Belleville West. For example, everyday that your health and attitude would allow, you came to school, just hanging out until your first class. Some spent the time doing last minute studying, while others just gabbed with friends. The student body also enjoyed this “free” time between classes. This extra time became the light at the end of the tunnel for many students. It was what filled that time between classes, that time that all cherished. 2 Opening Opening 3 Opposite Page, Top: Sophomores Brian Johnson and Paul Wagner relax before school.

Time for class! Sure, education was the purpose. Sure, you learned a few things, but what was class really like? How did you get through all of those tests, due dates and assignments? No one answer ex¬ isted. Each person made it through the school day in his own way, but the point is that you made it. Whether it was the honest struggle for good grades or the nerve-wrecking yanking of hair, you each lent your own personality to the class which helped to make that dismissal bell ring just a little bit earlier each day. Good grades and good times ... Who dun it? YOU DUN IT! Opening 5 GURGLE ... GURGLE ... GUR-R- R-GLE! That ' s right! It ' s lunch-time! And what better way to spend your lunch-time than in the Belle¬ ville West cafeteria? Well, even though it is true that the lunch menus were better than ever, many seniors still insisted on exer¬ cising the right to eat out. This, however, was not very convenient since the new class schedule man¬ dated half-hour lunch periods. Surely, those seniors adventurous enough pursued that rewarding burger of fast food fame. The rest of you ate in the cafeteria. Good food and good times ... Who dun it? YOU DUN IT!!! Opposite Page, Top: Modern art flourishes at West.

Ahhh! The sounds of Belleville West in action. The sounds of students bringing their special contributions to the school. You will remember the times with friends. You will remember the good times you had at school events. But, how can one take all of it in at once? How can one possibly remember ev¬ eryone else and all of the things that made high school a blast? Well, year¬ books are meant to aid in this mem¬ ory recall that you will probably tap at least a few times in your life. But even this huge book of pictures and words cannot capture every moment that made YOUR 1988-89 high school year special and unique. So, for this very reason, the yearbook staff chose “Who Dun It? for this year ' s theme. You may sit back, re¬ member this year, and ask “Who did make this year special and unique? Well, here ' s your answer: YOU DUN IT!!! student Life.Student Life.Student Life.Studen student Life.Student Life.Student Life.Studen student Life.Student Life.Student Life.Studen student Life.Student Life.Student Life.Studen student Life.Student Life.Student Life.Studen j i iwi i i - student Life.Student Life.Student Life.Studen tudent Life.Student Life.Student Life.Studen student Life.Student Life.Student Life.Studen student Life.

A typical day for senior Christine Hagelstein in¬ volved getting ready for school . . then going to my classes. I sit with all my friends at lunch, go back to class, and take the bus home. Kids goof off as much as they can and w ait all day for the last hour to come, accord¬ ing to senior Angela Knowles. A different view came from art teacher Mr. Doug Eskra. For the last 23 years, it is the time period between 8:30 and 3:30 filled with interesting experiences with young people, some negative but most positive, he recalled. Keith Stephens, junior, summed it up with the perfect question. Is there a typical high school day? 12 Typical Day Opposite Page , Top Right : Seniors Lisa Agne, Henry Lee, and Melissa McIn¬ tosh grin and bear it through their chemistry class.

Typical Day 13 What ' s Hot At West F ashions of the past have in¬ cluded crew-cuts, poodle skirts and more recently, Jams and friendship bracelets. Tie-dye shirts, shingled hair¬ cuts and jeans rolled at the bot¬ tom were just a few of the unique fashions that graced West during the 1988-1989 school year. Pierced ears, turtlenecks and jeans ripped at the knees, along with the ever-popular concert T-shirts, were the fads for the guys. Girls preferred leather bomber jackets, cardigan sweaters and curly hair with voluminous bangs. Accessories included silk scarves, big earrings and scrunched socks. Another popular fashion was wearing college sweatshirts. The shirts bore the crests of schools all over the country, ranging from Harvard to SIU Edwards- ville. 14 Fashions Opposite Page, Top Left: Sophomore Liberty Rhine poses, dressed in a fash¬ ionable over-size cardigan sweater and mini skirt.

I n the tradition of years past, West students gathered to¬ gether at assemblies for var¬ ious reasons. Student Council elections and the magazine drive were the initiation for the fresh¬ men to the famed assembly . Yet, the pep rallies before the big football and basketball games were even more exciting for stu¬ dents. They gathered, whether in the stadium or the Boys Gym, to build the Mighty Maroon spirit and have fun.

There they saw the arm-wrestling champions struggle their way to victory, the winners of all the contests held during the week receive their ribbons, and the new Miss Maroon accept her crown. Michael Hall won the Pretty Baby contest. Juniors Jennifer Klotz and Daniel Biegler were the champions of the arm-wres¬ tling contest. Elizabeth Isom was crowned Miss Maroon. Her court consisted of Amy Adams, Irene Angelou, Kelly Ninnis and Michelle Webb. 20 Assembly Opposite Page, Left: The thrill of vic¬ tory shows on senior Della Roam ' s face as she celebrates DE ' s first place finish in the Hall Decorating contest.

Winners 23 Tradition Continues T he 1988 Hobo Day marked a 60 year Belleville tradition. After the assembly, the school gathered in the school drive. The parade, following its usual route from Belleville West, progressed down West Main Street toward downtown. It ended at the parking lots at Third and West Main Street. The Hobo Day banner led the pa¬ rade, followed by the Marching Maroons. After the band came decorated cars, mini floats, the football team, cheerleaders, the volleyball team, the girls tennis team, and other organizations. The class floats came last, each escorted by cheering and yelling students. Some students followed their floats on skateboards, roller skates and bicycles. 24 Parade motive Opposite Page, Top Right: Several sen¬ iors got into the Hobo Day spirit by kid¬ napping freshman Pat Kernan from his place behind the Class of ' 92 float.

Parade 25 S ince 1980, the Republican Grand Old Party (GOP) held influence in the presidential office through 40th President Ronald Reagan. After eight years and two terms. President Reagan stepped down. The GOP placed its support with Vice President George Bush who received the GOP presidential nomination. The Democratic Party saw this as an opportunity to put their policies in office. Michael Dukakis, Governor of Massachusetts, was given the Democratic nomination. The most notable influence on this election was the dominant use of negative advertising. The Bush campaign was especially ef¬ ficient with this tactic. Dukakis counter attacked too little and too late to help his campaign. In August, Dukakis also made an appearance in Belleville, Illinois was a pivotal state in this elec¬ tion., However, Bush captured the election. Too young to vote in the actual race Belleville West students voted anyway. Thanks to Mr. Robert Hanson and his govern¬ ment classes, approximately 400 students from a student body of about 2,000 confirmed Ameri¬ ca ' s new President-Elect. How¬ ever, the same students chose Robert Gaffner over Jerry Cos¬ tello for the U.S. House of Re¬ presentatives. Actually, incum¬ bent Costello was re-elected. Unfortunately, the 20% voter turnout for West was even worse than the approximated 50% vot¬ er turnout for the nation.

Election 27 Spirit Haunts West L ittle Theatre members performed Blithe Spirit November 11 and 12 as their 1988-89 edition of the tradition¬ al Fall Play. Blithe Spirit, set in the 1940 ' s, begins as Charles Condomine tries to write a book about fake mediums. In search of first-hand information, Charles asks Madame Arcati to come to his house and perform a seance, during which, Charles ' first wife, Elvira, returns from the ' other side ' . The resulting complications were portrayed hilariously. In addition, many students participated be¬ hind the scenes of the Fall Play contributing to the beautiful set and extraordinary ef¬ fects. The combined efforts of Little The¬ atre members and Directors Miss Nina Bono and Mrs. Janet Kuehn made this year ' s presentation a great success. 28 Fall Play Blithe Spirit by Noel Coward Cast Charles Condomine ..

Fall Play 29 Pushing, Please One thing students and teachers can always count on at West is a line. With over 2,000 students and staff members occupying the West campus every day, students had to wait to purchase something in the bookstore, to get a drink of water and to buy their lunches. Top Left: At the end of every school day, many students left school by waiting in line to exit the church parking lot across the street Right: Senior Jennifer Mark- wardt and junior Jonathan Bell wait for their lunches to be served in the Main Event line. Bottom Left: Sophomore Christine Allison talks with friends as she waits in the Snack Bar line. 30 Lines Bump! Excuse In between each class, the hallways stood quiet, peaceful and passive. Yet, when the bell rang, the once peaceful halls be¬ came traffic jams. Students standing in groups sometimes were so thick that they blocked the passage of others. But, just before the second bell, the halls suddenly emptied. The hallways of Belleville West became peaceful once more. Top left: An eerie quiet reigns in the M Building ' s lower level. Top Right: Students crowd around lockers and the drinking fountain. Bottom Right: Senior Michelle Schmidt walks through a packed stairway. Bottom Left: The hallway next to the counselors ' offices, empty now, is a hub of activi- tity during scheduling weeks. Halls 31 Gang ' s All Here A fter a long hot summer, students of Belleville West were ready to head back to school. The seniors were prepared for their last and best year. Many juniors were finally able to drive to school. The sophomores happily returned, knowing that they weren ' t the youngest anymore. The fresh¬ men, uncertain about what to expect, timidly stepped onto the West campus. For the most part, things at Belleville West stayed the same. The Bookstore and Snack Bar lines were still too long, and the N Building halls were still too crowded. Some things, however, did change. Mrs. Merle Guthrie and Mr. Fritz Kunze, both long-time faculty members, retired. Six new teachers joined the staff. The price for lunch rose from $1 to $1.10. And, Belleville West switched to a new schedule for¬ mat. 1,986 students were ready to face every challenge the 1988-1989 school year had to of¬ fer. How did you feel about the first day of school? It ' s what everybody ex¬ pected I guess. Mark Good win - Freshman Interesting. Chris Judy - Junior I don ' t have time to go to the bathroom. Michelle Theobald - Freshman It ' s an immature, facist ritual. Tami Trenary - Senior I ' m glad to be back to school, ' cause summer was too hot.

Although the rain put a damper on the first week of school, the students enjoyed the relief the cooler temperatures provided. First Week 33 New And Improved! F or years, Belleville West students had moved from classroom to classroom ac¬ cording to an hourly schedule. Each class lasted for an hour mi¬ nus five minutes for migrating. Lunch and study hall each lasted only half an hour, sharing the same hour. Fall 1988, however, brought on a new schedule that proved harder to explain than to follow. Designed to promote efficiency and save money, the new sched¬ ule cut out the half hour lunch study halls and created a stag¬ gered schedule which separated freshmen. As a result, approxi¬ mately eight teaching hours and a projected $60,000 were saved and seniors went directly to class after a half hour lunch rather than the previous hour long break. Generally, most students, ac¬ cording to a Bellevinois poll, fa¬ vored the old schedule. After all, they had lived their lives accord¬ ing to the familiar schedule. Sen¬ iors most wanted that hour for lunch. Juniors were sympathetic with the seniors but were glad to get out at an earlier 3 p.m. like the sophomores. Extracurricular activities were also affected by the new sched¬ ule. Among these activities were the student council, athletics, publications and music pro¬ grams. Fortunately, students chose to participate in their re¬ spective activities before and after school instead of dropping the activity. In many cases, stu¬ dents were able to find positive things to say about the new schedule. It seems that changing created more problems than the new schedule. | T M£ SCH£DUl£ £0 CMSSCS- | f too SCHEDULE MINUTES llA IB 8 30 AM to 9 25 AM 55 MIN T M£ SCS f £ £ ££ fO C£ tSS£S PERIOD r SCHEDULE MINUTES 9 30 AM to 10 25 AM 55 MIN IB2A ' 9 00 AM to 9 55 AM 55 MIN ■ 3A 10 30 AM to 10 55 AM 2 5 MIN’ ■ 3A3B 10 30 AM to II 25 AM 55 MIN 1 4A II 30 AM to 1155 AM 25 MIN I ■ 44 43 II 30AM to 1225 PM 55 MIN _ - _ J 2B3A 10 00 AM to 10 55 AM 3B LUNCH PERIOD II00 AM to 1125 AM II 00 AM to II 55 AM 55 MIN 25 MIN 55 MIN , NOi E f BKia 12 00 Noon to 12 25 PM 4B SA 1200 Noo. to 12 55 PM •• 12 30 PM to I 25 PM 55 MIN ■6 68j I 30 PM to 2 25 PM 55 MIN LUNCH PERIOD 100 PM to 155 PM 2 00 PM to 2 55 PM 25 MIN 55 MIN LUNCH PERIOD 55 MIN 55 MIN Which do you like more, the new schedule or the old one? “Old one!

T hroughout history, West has proudly selected ath¬ letic teams to challenge other schools in all types of sporting events. Students who didn ' t play in the games attend¬ ed them in order to support their team, show their school spirit, feel the excitement or any combination of the above. At each game, most of the students had fun whether the team won or lost. Team members agreed that student support made their job on the court or field more enjoyable. 36 Games Why do you attend athletic events? When you ' re standing on your feet, screaming for your team with only one minute left in a neck-to- neck game, there ' s no need to answer that question.

Games 37 Students Donate Hope T he annual Blood Drive took place in the Gym An¬ nex on November 8. The drive was jointly sponsored by the Red Cross and the Student Council. 210 students and facul¬ ty members signed up to each give a pint of blood. Some, how¬ ever, did not meet the Red Cross requirements, so they were un¬ able to donate. 133 pints of blood were collected, just two pints short of the Red Cross quota. After giving blood, the donors were treated to juice, cookies and pizza. Top Right: Senior Tina Tomlin patient¬ ly waits as a Red Cross worker records her blood pressure.

Despite their differences, all of these groups had one thing in com¬ mon. They needed money. The administration alotted funds to several long-time stu¬ dent organizations. However, this was not always enough to meet the needs of these groups. The bake sale was a standard fundraising activity. Also, candy sales and concession stands at sporting events brought in mon¬ ey. These were the old reliables of fund-raising. The NHS sold Senior Class T- shirts to fund its community ac¬ tivities. Maroon Majic washed cars. At Christmas, the Model U.N. sold Santa Grams, consist¬ ing of a hand-delivered message and a candy cane. Hy News and Bellevinois sold their final prod¬ uct and advertisements to help pay for production of the news¬ paper and yearbook.

Fundraisers 39 Maroons Pick and Choose W est students had definite favorites when it came to movies, food and hanging out. This year they had a chance to have their say. The Bellevinois conducted a poll in December asking about 300 stu¬ dents their favorite things: re¬ cent movies, fast-food places, sit-down re staurants, cafeteria food, weekend entertainment and campus hang out. Those sur¬ veyed represented all grade and academic levels of the student body. The top movie over the past year was Cocktail. For the favorite restaurants, students chose McDonald ' s and Red Lob¬ ster. Going to a party was a land¬ slide favorite weekend activity. The cafeteria received the nod as the best place to be on cam¬ pus, with french fries being cho¬ sen as the best part of school lunch. 40 Poll Poll Results Favorite Movie: Cocktail Favorite Weekend Activity: Party Favorite Fast-Food Place: McDonald ' s Favorite Sit-down Restaurant: Red Lobster Favorite Cafeteria Food Item: Fries Favorite Spot On Campus: Cafeteria Opposite Page, Top: Seniors Jeff Griffin and Eric Colgan enjoy McDonald ' s chow during their half-hour lunch break.

Poll 41 A Night of Comedy T hursday, Sept. 29, Little The¬ atre presented A Night of One Acts. These produc¬ tions gave freshmen a chance to take their first step into the spot¬ lights of Belleville West ' s stage. Sophomores had an opportunity to get some extra theater exper¬ ience, while helping to break in the freshmen. Students performed in and worked on crews for the comedies The Man Who Died and Went to Heaven, Nobody Sleeps and Liberated Cinderella.

The story was about a little girl, played by Beth Carroll, who heard voices. The voices and the villain Morda¬ cious, played by Adam Peck, took her parents away to the land of the shadows. The girl, with the help of witch hunter Madam Swizzle, played by Me¬ linda Stroup, went on a quest to find her parents. The Children ' s Show delighted its young audi¬ ence.

Christmas 45 The Pressure ' s On A student ' s life at Belleville West often was very stressful. Getting to school on time with completed homework was sometimes diffi¬ cult enough; on top of that, ap¬ proaching finals, looming dead¬ lines and due dates, and pressure to maintain good grades all ad¬ ded up to make things very hec¬ tic. No wonder weekends and vacations were so welcome. 46 Pressure ' s On w Tobody was expected to go 1 1 through the entire school M, Xday without taking a break. Lunch usually provided both students and faculty with some time to relax. When the weather allowed, the Big W was the perfect spot to hang out and talk with friends. Some students preferred spending time in the library, settling down with a good book or browsing through a magazine. When finals were over, dead¬ lines met and grades reported, everyone finally had a chance to lie back and really take it easy.

At one time or another, people get a nickname, and some stick more than others. But, how do they get started? Senior Boomer (Christopher) Leopold ' s nickname was invented by his father because Boomer hit ob¬ jects with a plastic bat at the age of five. The sound it made was changed to Boomer , and the nickname stuck, junior Mark O ' Donnell ' s nickname (Odie) was created more typically using the letters of his last name. How popular could a nickname get? I have been in high school for four years, and people that I ' ve known all this time keep asking what my real name is! Boomer said. Can a nickname actually replace a person ' s name for life? Boomer is planning to keep his nickname throughout college and even after that. But, Odie said, I prefer people that haven ' t known me well to call me Mark, but I ' ll keep my nickname as long as people keep calling me Odie. Perhaps at their class reunions 20 years from now, Boomer Leopold and Odie O ' Donnell might have to wear two name tags, one con¬ taining their real names and one with their nicknames.

Thoughts and aspirations of the infamous ' Breakfast Club race through your mind. But, Mr. Jim Wiesen, supervisor, quickly informs his mates of the morning that this is not the Breakfast Club. No, this is Belleville West Sat¬ urday Detention. Sure, your parents may say, Do what you can, make this time productive or they may say We would let you go shopping but . . Unfortunately, this is where the similarity ends and the punishment begins. West ' s Saturday Detention meets in N127 from 8:30 a.m. to noon. Failure to report or to follow the Saturday Detention Center policies results in a three day at- home suspension. Clearly, th is is strictly serious, not a movie-like party atmosphere. N127is home for students facing Saturday Detention The Saturday morning detention is slow and mellow. — a far cry from the movie The Breakfast Club. Not much happened, said senior Karen Crossin about her Saturday Detention experience.

Has senior Amy Murphy discovered a new delicacy? Gnats? Well, at the Illinois State University Invita¬ tional Individual Events tournament on November 4 and 5, she decided to give it a try. She swallowed a bug while giving a speech. I just opened my mouth and it flew right in ' Mur¬ phy said. She then began coughing and gasping. The judge knew it, too, and screamed You swallowed a bug! Murphy asked if she could start her speech over, but the unsympathetic judge said only if she thought it would help. Murphy later sarcastically asked her coach, Mr. Alan Sanders, Is it my fault I swallowed a bug? The funny thing was that the next girl to give a speech wouldn ' t open her mouth, Murphy said. She also added, If it would happen to anybody in the world, it would be me. Amy Murphy re-enacts the speech during which she swallowed a bug.

The Nurse Is In School nurse Betty Bolt saw most students at some point during their high school years-sick or not. Mrs. Bolt ' s main job was determining whether students were or were not sick and to get those students who were healthy back to class. She explained, I always try to give stu¬ dents the benefit of the doubt. Who feels well 100 percent of the time? Still, some have tried to outwit Mrs. Bolt. I faked a fever by rolling the thermometer in my hands and raising it to 103 degrees. So, she sent me home ' said senior Terry Williams. But, most times these old tricks don ' t work. I know I have to retake their temperature when the red ' s all the way to the top, she explained. During an average day, Mrs. Bolt was called upon to deal with anything and everything from cuts and bruises to things totally unre¬ lated to school, and very confidential.

Colombian Experiences American Life Belleville West ' s foreign exchange student, Luz Elena Buitrago, came all the way from Colombia to spend part of her senior year as a Mighty Ma¬ roon. Luz Elena enjoyed West ' s wide range of opportunities while living with senior Angela Mack. At the close of the school year, Luz left West to finish her schooling back home at Gem- naasio, Bereia. Her future plans included college and dentistry. Both my father and uncle are den¬ tists, said Luz Elena, and I hope to become one too, someday. The sharing and blending of cultures which re¬ sults from the foreign exchange program at West has brought many fine students to the school. Surely, Belleville West was enriched by Luz Elena ' s presence, but equally so, the students at West helped to make her year in the United States beneficial as well as entertaining. 62 Seniors v- Susan Heidorn: Pom-pon 2,3,4 (Capt. 4), Floats 1,2,3,4, Prom 3, JFF 3 A J Kelly Herrington: Floats 1,4, DE 4 Tom Hickey: Student Worker 4, NHS 4 James Heilman: Concert Band 2,3,4 Juli Suzann Hilgert: Marching Band 2,3,4, Concert Band 1,2,3,4, Pep Band 2,3,4, Floats 1,2,3,4, Children ' s Play 3,4 Brian Hillier: Physics Club 3,4, Model UN 4, Computer Electronics Club 1,2,3 (Pres. 2,3), Floats 2,3, Spanish Club 1, IE 4 Carrie E.

She also stated, I don ' t want to be stuck in one place. I want to see the world and this seems like an interesting way to go. After basic training, Tobyn planned to travel to San Diego for ten weeks of Class A Medical school. After school I plan to put in for an overseas assignment, said Reichling. Robyn ' s job then will be a Hospital Corpsman Medical Technician., I ' m really looking forward to getting myself into shape and getting more discipline, but my main goal is the medical experience I will get.

How long have you been able to do this, Mike? How the hell should I know? All my life, I guess. Thank you, Mike. Next in line is fellow senior Brett Pearce, who has mortified thou¬ sands with his mysterious ' floating shoulder blade ' trick. Pearce can make both his shoulder blades stick out about three inches from his back. He said that he first remembers doing it for his friends in eighth grade. Last (but not least) is junior Amy Harting. She can place her entire fist in her mouth. Harting says that she discovered her talent in sixth grade when a bunch of her friends were sitting around trying to do it. I was the only one who could, she stated proudly. Harting did meet another girl several years later who could also do it, so she is not the only gifted girl in the world.

Well, some Belleville West students have done just that. Spain and Greece are some faraway places that have been visited by these students. Cecilia Baumann visited Spain for two weeks as part of a family vacation. She was impressed by the sur¬ roundings. Spain is beautiful. I may want to live there later in life, Baumann stated. Le ia Raphaelidis, senior, and her sister Kyra Raphae¬ lidis, junior, lived in Greece for many years before coming to the United States. Even after the move, they still jaunted across the sea back to Greece every summer. Leia commented that, It was the perfect place to grow up. It ' s so different. Athens is the only city where you ' ll find a skyscraper and an ancient temple on the same city block. She later remarked about the Mediterranean climate when she said, It ' s also a great place to get a tan.

The pressing of two pairs of lips together. The flow of excitement and exhiliration. Yes, the first kiss is magical, but is it unforgettable as well? Accord¬ ing to the following seniors, it most certainly was, although some others wanted to forget it. Forget it? Susan Rashet exclaimed. Never. It may not have been the most passionate kiss in history, but it was a kiss and it was my first. Jennifer Clasquin added, It was a while ago but I still remember it. It was fun. Jerry Lowery joked that he didn ' t remember his first kiss because there have just been so many it gets so hard to separate them all. He quickly added, however, Just kidding. Yeah, I do. Angela Grewe called her first kiss one of the most embar¬ rassing things that ever happened to me. My heart raced, my body shook and I almost passed out! It was exciting! Steven Thorpe had a different problem, I don ' t remem¬ ber the girl ' s name, he said. Finally, Matthew McPherson related that when he had his first kiss, My sister walked in on us.

Wake Up! RRRrinnggg!!! Uh, hello? What hour is this? 4A!! No way! What happened to first hour? You say I slept in class? Not me? Of course not! Obviously, not getting enough sleep at night was a com¬ mon problem for many students during the school year. Some of the causes of this included working after school, homework, and spending time with friends. These stu¬ dents often drifted away the next day in class and then fell asleep. However, this was not a good idea. I ' ll say from e xperience that you have weird dreams when you sleep in class, Mike Juracek commented. David Sutherland ad¬ ded, I remember once waking up and handing my pencil to the person behind me, thinking it was a hanger I had picked up in my dream. Other seniors gave their opinions on the idea of sleeping in class. Henry Lee expressed the common opinion of it ' s okay if they can handle the class. Shannan Kifer offered a solution. If you ' re tired, you shouldn ' t be forced to go to class. That way you could sleep someplace else. 80 Seniors Kristie Shepek: Class Secretary 2,3, Prom 3, JFF Court 3, Pom-pon 3,4, Floats 1,2,3,4, History Club 1, JFF 3, NHS 4 David B.

The camp centered on study skills and self-esteem for teenagers. On Friday night, everyone got to meet everyone else at the camp. Guest speakers highlighted the events on Saturday. Bob Rhoads discussed memorization tech¬ niques, while Joyce Watkins talked about test prepara¬ tion and George Shea demonstrated writing skills. Pre¬ vention specialist Gerre Johnson captured the spotlight on Sunday by having an encouraging talk with the campers. I had so much fun that I didn ' t want to leave. I felt an incredible natural high that I can ' t even explain. All I know is that I want to go back again as teen staff, remarked sophomore Stacey Courtney.

Senior Kelly Mueller offered something a little different. She said that her favorite class was Junior Algebra. HA! Kelly jokingly remarked, You never know what you can do with Junior Algebra! On a more serious note, Kelly did think that Junior Algebra was an interesting class. I really did like the class. Sometimes I actually did my homework! Whatever your favorite class was in high school, you probably remembered some lit¬ tle detail that made you recall some special memory. However, maybe five or ten years from mow, you ' ll tell your kids, My favor¬ ite class in high school was lunch.

Many students look forward to owning a class ring. And, while not all students have or want class rings, those who do buy rings do so for a vari¬ ety of reasons. Junior Laura Wasko said, I want a ring to give to my kid, like my mom gave me hers. Junior Debbie Voudrie said, I want something unusual to add to my ring collection.

Going My Way? Getting a ride home was a daily event in the lives of many students without cars. The most important word in a moocher ' s vocabulary is please, and most ap¬ proaches were straight forward. People just come up and ask, ' Can I have ride? said senior Tricia Finley. Some drivers don ' t mind giving rides to people occasionally, but when it be¬ comes a habit, tempers flare. A junior car owner said privately, The first time moochers ask for a ride I don ' t mind, but when it becomes a habit, I mind. Junior Mark Merchiori said, I don ' t mind just as long as I know the person and they don ' t live too far away. Most moochers find nothing wrong with mooching, as long as they get a ride home. Junior Rob Steffel said, If the person I ask is bigger. I ' m usually more polite. Junior Shawn Koch summed up the moochers ' feelings saying, It ' s no big deal. Either they give me a ride or they don ' t.

Dating Where do people go on dates? Many students agree that a nice date includes going to the movies. Senior Tim Rank, cited Wehrenberg and BAC as the best movie theaters in the area. Second to movies was the mall. A close third was concerts. Junior Debbie Vou- drie said, People go to the zoo, con¬ certs, and they walk to the park. Sopho¬ more Mike Guest replied, They go to sports events. Sophomore Jason Mc¬ Clure added, Or parties. Real classy people go to the opera and a French restaurant ' sophomore Andrew Rhoades, stated. Senior Heather Franks said, Picnics . . because I ' m a roman¬ tic. Although many people agree that Belle¬ ville doesn ' t have a lot of social life, many couples head into St. Louis for some fun. In addition, West sporting events attract some couples. No matter what people do, it is some¬ thing they can do together. 96 Juniors Donald Phillips Jeffery Piffner Christina Pirtle Melissa Poole Timothy Price John Pry Christopher Pyeatt Anita Rao Kyra Raphaelidis Veronica Ray Marc Rehg Eric Rhodes Kathy Richards Jamie Riley Cheryl Robke Eric Rohn Joseph Roy Lori Russell Michael Saak Christopher Sanders Amy Schaefer James Schanuel Timothy Schlesinger Pam Schlueter Daphne Schmidt Candence Schmitt Jeffery Schrader Susan Schuetz Tim Schuhardt Terri Schwaegel Craig Schwalb Ryan Schwartz Chip Schweiss Dennis Seger Christiane Sharosy Ed Shoemaker Alex Singletary Kelly Souris Daniel Sperry Staci Spitz Melissa Staggs Brandy Stahl Bradley Starms Robert Steffel Keith Stephens Lee Ann Stephens Jonathan Stirrup Matthew Stirrup Juniors 97 Francis Stoltz Karl Stover Dawn Stowers Elise Strohm James Sullivan Tammy Summers Kelly Sutter Michael Swearingen Michael Swistak James Tadlock Georgeanna Taff Deborah Tedrick Terra Thier Marsha Thurnau David Tiedemann Shannon Tischoff Kimberly Townsend Suzie Tran Michelle Travous Kim Turner Shane Underwood Jennifer Utnage Penny Vahlkamp Jeffery Valperts Claire VanHook Dawn Venatta Mindy Vetter Tara Vincent Dawn Vonderheide Deborah Voudrie Craig Voyles David Wagner Sharis Walker Junior Student Council Bottom Row: Anita Rao (V.P.), Heather Nob- lift (Pres.), Mark He ' ll (Treas.), Second Row: Kim Townsend, Maggie Biaha, Brandi Stall, Jennifer Flood, Phil Climaco, Top Row: John V • Mueller, Chris Crabtree, Matt Johnson, Jeff Hasenstab and Eric Zaber. 98 Junior Kevin Wallis Jerry Walters Robert Warfield Laura Wasko Robin Watson Allison Week s Shelly Weik Eric Weisbrodt William West Patricia Whitaker Dawn White Steven Wilkerson Scott Willmann Bradley Wilson Robert Wiltshire Jimmy Wittenauer Jennifer Yale Michelle Yeager Heather York Eric Zaber Debra Zika Kimberly Zimmermann v Top Left: Junior Kelly Pap - proth receives help from senior Melissa McIntosh.

I wanted to play so I could have the experience playing in competition even if it was against boys ' explained Burton. Golf Coach Gene Mauer said, Lizzie had a real good year and did pretty good in the Regional and Sectional tournaments. Burton said her best match was in the Pro Jr. Tournament over the summer. In addition, this year, she managed to get fifth place in the Regional Tournament and only failed to go to State by one stroke in the Sectionals. Coach Mauer is a great guy. If it wasn ' t for him and his support, I wouldn ' t have had enough courage to stick to playing golf with the boys, added Burton. Lizzie Burton was one of the guys this year as a Mighty Maroon golfer. 104 Sophomores Jason McFalls Bonnie McMurray Cheryl McQuaid Kent Meckfessel Michele Mehrtens Cory Mercer Deborah Mergelkamp Bradley Middendorf Catherine Mills Kelley Mills Shawn Miner Deborah Misik Christopher Mitchell George Mokriakow Jason Moran Robert Mordhorst Anthony Mueller Robyn Mueller Sherri Mueller Tiffany Mueller Jeffery Muir Kurt Muskopf Doug Neumeyer Nancy O ' Dawd Stacey Oaks John Oestreich Amy Ohlendorf Sheila Olson Rick Onstott David Oughton John Paclik Bradley Papproth Luke Patton Adam Peck Rachel Pedroley Glenna Pees Michael Penberthy Monica Peter Ryan Pfingsten Corey Phillips Cynthia Phillips Sandra Phillips Kelly Pigott Dawn Podendorf Stephanie Pope Peter Pranaitis Jacob Preston Anita Price Timothy Price Jay Prindable Scott Probst Charles Purdy Bradley Quirin Roger Rakers Peter Rao Aaron Reaka Michelle Reaves Stacy Reichling Jef frey Renner Jill Reno Liberty Rhine Andrew Rhodes Toni Richard Sophomores 105 John Rickert Krista Rickert William Ritzel Sophomore Student Council Bottom Row: Peter Rao (V.P.), Lizzie Burton (See.), Jason Betz , (Pres.), Scott Alves (Tres.), Second Row: John Bell , Jennie Townsend Jay White , Kurt MuskoptThird Row: Amy Adamson , Danielle Buente, Kristi Garcia , Gigi Hooker, Sarah Baum and Top Row: Kristi Holcomb.

Hallway Beasts Lockers are easy to use, right? Not according to junior Ann Carpenter who said, Everyday I have to try three times to get my locker opened. My book bag was stuck in my locker for a day and a half, exclaimed Junior Joe Crossno. Assistant Principal Mr. Robert Petri said The most common locker problem is the tumbler breaks and the students can ' t get their lockers open. Junior Alys Fritchley had a similar problem last year, The handle on my locker almost fell off and I couldn ' t get my locker opened. I had to go to class for three days without any books.

How Embarassing Can you remember your most embarrassing moment? You know, the time when the whole world was laughing at you instead of with you. Senior Kathleen Bretsch remembers her most embarrassing moment. My most em¬ barrassing moment was when I was at a baseball game, and someone screamed, ' Hey, watch out! ' She looked to find a baseball coming straight at her face. Kath¬ leen hurried to get out of the way, but found herself falling off the edge of the bleachers and into a trash can. And, Mr. Bruce Arnold was instructing be¬ hind the wheel in Driver ' s Ed class. The car pulled into the school parking lot and a lady was sitting in the lot in a convertible. She was wearing a hat with a very wide rim. He said, A dozen pigeons could sit on that hat, flapping their wings and still not touch. The boy driving turned around and said, That ' s my mom.

Seven Foreign Lan¬ guage Department teachers introduced first and second year students to the sound of the language and grammar and vocabu¬ lary development. More advanced, third year students added coursework in reading skills, while students in their fourth year con¬ centrated on using the language in conversa¬ tion.

Fresh¬ men and sophomores enrolled in English 1,2,3 and Oral Communica¬ tion classes. But, juniors and seniors had a choice of twenty-eight different English elec¬ tives ranging from Indi¬ vidualized Reading to Power, Politics and Lit¬ erature, Mass Media, Science Fiction and Composition. In addi¬ tion, the English De¬ partment continued working toward its goal of establishing a com¬ puter writing lab. Top Left: Mr. Chuck Hasen- stab stops to pose for the camera.

Stu¬ dents also learned about rocks, the earth and psychology. Most freshmen started off social studies exper¬ iences by taking Civics, while the juniors en¬ rolled in U. S. History. For interested sopho¬ mores, juniors and sen¬ iors other electives such as World Geography and Government were offered. Many Americans who will never travel outside the U.S. will still be greatly affected by world politics. - Mr. Ken Besse Top Left: Students work in¬ dependently on a Civics study guide.

What ' s more important than to study that? -Mr. Gary Twesten The Physical Science Department received new equipment this year, including a laser which was a acquired during a competition. Mr. Dennis Schutzen- hofer said the addition Science of new equipment made the classes at West like those in a col¬ lege laboratory. Mr. Gary Twesten said the Biological Science Department improved this year as each teacher received his own class¬ room.

The Physical Education De¬ partment grading system changed to one of accuma- lated points. Students lost points through dress-cuts, unexcused absences and dis¬ missal from class. If a student had an excused absence, he could make arrangements to make up the lost points. Again this year, Mr. Larry Betz and Mr. Woody Burnett taught Health to freshmen. Topics ranged from nutri¬ tion to sexually-transmitted diseases to substance abuse. 132 Driver ' s Ed, Health, P.E. Opposite Page , Top Left: Freshman Larry McCann hits a foul tip.

Whether in the quiet serenity of the IMC or the busy cafeteria, studying occured on the campus. Some students pre¬ ferred the company of peers, while others sat alone and procrasti¬ nated. Whatever method or place students chose, West had several areas where a student could get some homework done. The popular areas included the Instructional Materials Center, the cafeteria and the Big W. In addition, some students found certain benches, hall¬ way floors or stairways to be a quiet place to hit the books during free time. 6 138 Studying Opposite Page, Middle Left: Junior Amy Harting uses her free time in the library to complete an assignment.

The team worked the boards effectively to receive the honors of Mascoutah Tournament Cham¬ pions and Conference Co-Champions. Unlike previous years, all senior team members acted as captains. At the end of the season, Beth Bair and Jodie Prindable were elected honorary captains by their teammates. The girls ended the season with a record of 21-6. We worked well together as a team and always encouraged eachother , said senior Lisa Padgett. All the hard work paid off. Most of all, I won ' t forget how everyone made this year a lot of fun.

This year was no ex¬ ception. The first major change the staff faced was an adviser change when Mrs. Nancy Smith took over the role in addition to advising the Hy News. Another change in the yearbook was caused by the new schedule. One group of eight met for a sixth hour class, while the rest of the staff met for half an hour after school. Conflicts with sports and other activities made meeting together impossible. Although this separation caused some problems, the staff com¬ bined ideas and efforts to pro¬ duce the yearbook. Although the changes made yearbook production different this year, the staff worked to make the changes positive. The final result was a yearbook packed from cover to cover with new ideas, old traditions, and memories to last a lifetime.

Thus, staff members, and adviser Mrs. Nan¬ cy Smith had to make time both before and after school and on weekends to work on the school newspaper. Since many mem¬ bers were involved in other ac¬ tivities and sports, meeting at the same time proved to be a diffi¬ cult task. Working around the schedule not only made the Hy News a more challenging process, but also tested the staff members ' patience at times. Still, the Hy News kept up the tradition of being an award-winning paper. The staff members also had time to learn practical skills, raise money for their Macintosh com¬ puter system and produce 10 regular issues as well as the third annual Senior Edition. Despite the meeting conflicts and the haunting deadlines, the Hy News staff worked hard and complet¬ ed another successful year.

From each of the three foreign lan¬ guage classes offered at West, a spe¬ cial interest club exists. The foreign language clubs provide a more re¬ laxed atmosphere for students to learn about a country and its culture. Members of the French Club had the opportunity to taste foods of France. Fondu was served at the Christmas party, and Mrs. Marianne Chmeleck prepared a dinner for four year French Club members. The German Club learned about German song and dance by going carolling to two nurs¬ ing homes. They also carried on a tradition by eating at Eberhard ' s. In October, the Spanish Club celebrat¬ ed The Day of the Dead, a holiday similar to Halloween in America. The students also ate at Casa Gallardo at the end of the year for a real Spanish meal.

History Club members met to promote interest in and awareness of our local past. This year ' s members volunteered to be tour guides at local historic houses, such as the St. Clair County Historical Society Museum and the Kunz House, wrote research papers and made art projects for history con¬ tests. Members also wrote articles for Illinois History magazine and sold pop¬ corn and candy at home football and basketball games . Model UN met regularly to discuss and debate international issues. Members participated in two conventions during the school year. At these conventions members of the Belleville West Model UN got together with members from other schools to debate issues. They then tried to formulate a solution. The first session was two days long and was held in the fall, while the second ses¬ sion was three days long and was held in the spring. The Model United Na¬ tions also observed Illinois ' electoral college this year.

Although it was hard, our elected officials woke early every Monday, Wednesday and Friday to meet and plan stu¬ dent activities. The first few weeks were hectic with plans for Hobo Week being made, but once again hard work paid off and the week was a success. Members not only put many hours of preparation into the Christmas Dance, but also showed up early the next morn¬ ing to clean because school would be in session on Monday. Many students took advantage of the Valigrams, circulated on Valentine ' s Day by the Student Council, to let that special someone know they wanted them for their valentine. The fall and spring blood drives were a success along with the Donkey basketball game co-sponsored by Student Council. With new sponsor, Mrs. Betty Mueller, members worked and made the 1988-1989 school year anything but boring. Opposite Page, Left: Beth Isom and Jennifer Flood decorate for the Christ¬ mas dance.

CONTEST RESULTS Math Team Wash. U. Second Place Regionals Second Place JETS Both the JETS and Math teams started the competitive year on a good note. At the district JETS contest, the squad came home with the coveted first place trophy by handily beating O ' Fallon. At the Washington University Math con¬ test, West took third place out of thir¬ ty-three teams, their highest finish in the history of the contest. However, the activities of these teams were not restricted to taking tests and receiving awards. After a long day of working problems, the Math team liked to sing TV show theme songs. Also, some other tests, such as the IML and the NML, offered the team even more opportunities to show off its mathematical prowess. The JETS team did not have quite as many tests to take, but they did contri¬ bute to the reputation of the school as an academic powerhouse.

The group started practicing everyday in Au¬ gust from nine in the morning until three in the afternoon. Because of these nu¬ merous hours of practice, they won many awards performing at contests. At Eastern Illinois, the honor of Grand Champion was bestowed on them. The color guard won Best in Class, while the drum majors and the percussion were voted the best at the contest. At Illinois State, the band fin¬ ished in the top ten bands in the entire state. Besides winning all these awards, the band managed to always entertain crowds at home football games during halftime shows. They also marched in pa¬ rades and had many fundraisers. They sold pizzas, cheese and sausage to many willing band boosters. 184 Marching Band Bottom Row: Dana Jung, Tom Sliment, Mike Swistak, Second Row: Mr. Ralph Schlesing- er (Director), Charlie Hamilton, Julie Hilgert, Sherry Firnkes, Sherrie Joellenbeck, Jami Counsel!, David Noonan, George Mokriakow, John Gasser, Jennifer Klein, Sarah Ringle, Jeff Valperts, Aaron Ringle, Bill Housman, Mindi Stroup, Bryan Snyder, Mike Saak, Douglas Tedrick, Joe Knyff, Stephen Backhus, Jerrid Hamann, Third Row: David Brown, Michelle Schmidt, Lisa Schmidt, Jennifer Gool, Nancy Gruber, Lynn Gruber, Kim Bair Stacey Kurfman, Cheryl Purnell, Karen Voegtle, Jolene Eisenhour, Dana Krieg, Teresa Lintzenich, Cheryl McQuaid, Susan Buss, Jennifer Shaw, Amy Murphy, Mary Hill, Lisa Krauss, Elizabeth Goodwin, Kathleen Crook, Sandra Hick, Fourth Row: Sherri Huwer, Michelle Adkins, Michelle Torigian, Becky Ham, Jane Hill, Charlene Eckert, Jana Ohlen - dorf, Kelly Mueller, Missy Glass, Jason Kolman, Bert Diesel, Holly Hubbs, Diana Johnson, David Sutherland, Linette Greenwood, Carol Crump, Jennifer Klossner, Amy Comstock, Johnna Rogers, Fifth Row: Mark Goodwin, Ryan Rhea, Robert Schaefer, Robert Tyler, Ronnie Bonaldi, Andrew Knox, Chris Diecker, Clint Bowers, Jim Collins, Eric Colgan, John Robinson, Scott Stegman, David Powell, Alan Wirth, Jeff Griffin, Robert Comstock, Kevin Krieg, Brian Karraker, Terry Lawrence, Kris Castelli, Brian O ' Connor, Tricia Finley, Abigail Hall, Dawn Vonderheide, Gerald Vonderheide, Bill Ritzel, Eddie Caumiant, Top Row: Matt Duncan, Michelle Webb, Pam Bailey, Angie Cook, Jennifer Flood, Ange Patterson, Kim Harris, Julie Nersesian, Laura Dill, Amy Bailey, Jodi Freiberg, Lori Erlinger Sarah Constance, Julie Grimm, Jenny Gaertner, Mona Bueckman, Julie Matthiesen, Susan Rashet, Kathy Pearce, Amy Schaefer, Carol Bock, Jenny Clasquin, Lisa Anderson, Susan Heidom, Amy Adams, Kristie Shepek, Christy Pirtle, Tina Hohlt, Toni Richard, Elise Strohm, Stacy Angelou, Irene Angelou, Amy Goodwin and Tom Richard.

This year we ' ve proved we ' re the best; from top honors at pom-pon camp to state flag champs. -Susan Heidorn, captain Car washes, bake sales and taking inventory at Famous Barr kept the girls on the Pom-Pon squad busy for most of the year be¬ cause they were raising money to buy new uniforms. These uni¬ forms enhanced their perfor¬ mances during the halftime shows at all the home basketball games. Prior to the season, the twenty-four girls attended camp at Southwest Missouri State where their squad received top honors. The leaders of the squad, Captain Susan Heidorn, Co-captain Amy Adams and squad leaders Sarah Constance, Laura Dill, Kathy Pearce and Christy Pirtle, led the Pom-Pon Maroons through many strenu¬ ous practices and competitions. Ms. Julie Wagahoff added new spice to the squad by becoming their new sponsor and schedul¬ ing rigorous workouts for them, both during and after school. Other recognition was given to the squad when three girls, sen¬ iors Julie Nersesian, Kathy Pearce and Michelle Webb, went to New York City on Thanksgiving Day to participate in the Macy ' s Parade.

This year ' s entertainment began in September with the One Acts Liberated Cinder¬ ella, The Man Who Died and Went to Heaven and Nobody Sleeps. The One Acts, each approximately forty- five minutes long, were directed by Miss Nina Bono, Mr. Alan Sanders and Miss Jane Mueth. As Fall ap¬ proached, theatre members and di¬ rectors Miss Bono and Mrs. Janet Kuehn began work on Blithe Spirit. Not long after the Fall Play ' s perfor¬ mance in November, the endless cy¬ cle of productions continued with preparations for the Children ' s Play performed in the middle of February. In April, Little Theatre brought the production year to a close with a Spring Musical directed by Dr. Rich¬ ard Hunsaker. Those members who contributed a great deal of time to the productions were honored as Thespians. Qualifying as a Thespian involves working a total of two hun¬ dred hours onstage or backstage. 194 Little Theatre, Thespians Thespians Bottom Row: Katie Bush (V.P.), Jodi Papproth (Pres.), Alice Thabar Top Row: Robyn Reichling , David Sutherland , Jennifer Yale and Laura Wasko (Sec.).

So Flail to Belleville Township West! PiT r ’ K 218 lndex 4 Farewells and So-Longs! Well, now that the year is over, we can toot our own horns and tell you how hard we ' ve worked. Although we were often under great pressure, the work was somewhat exciting, as odd as that may seem. We experimented with all sorts of new ideas to make the Student Life section what it should be: a portrait of life at Belleville West. We feel we have achieved this. However, we didn ' t do it all ourselves. Our thanks go to the Lius Brothers, Mrs. Nancy Smith, every¬ one else who has helped us, and of course, the absolutely essential com¬ puters we worked on. Farewell, West, we shall never forget you . . . -Julie Begley and Leia Raphaelidis Individuality. 1. the sum of the charac¬ teristics that set one person or thing apart. You know, it ' s amazing how much just one individual makes a dif¬ ference. Who dunnit? you ask. We all did. Every individual made the ' 88- ' 89 sports section unique. For now, I ' d like to take this time to say Thank you. To all the coaches and athletes, I give a hearty Mighty Maroon salute for all their cooperation and for all their help writing captions and identifying mysterious faces. In addition, I ' d like to thank someone special. For those who know me, I ' m not going crazy. I ' m final¬ ly letting go. Ray, thank you for all your brotherly love and support. Oh, Mrs. Smith, come here please. I need your help. Oh, never mind. I fig¬ ured out what I wanted to say. Hast a la vista, babe! -Christine Hipp Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to the men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all. -Ecclesiastes 9:11 Chance can ruin every dream you ' ve ever built, but the day you stop dream¬ ing is the day you die. -Voltache OK, the four years have gone by and you have to ask yourself this question: What did I get out of it? I have NO idea what many of you would say; so, I ' ll take this space to tell you my answer. I got education, confidence, friendship, love, memories, exhaustion, adrenalin and, this year, one heck of a yearbook! Thanks to all of you who helped. And I guess we ' ll be seeing each other at the reunions .... Good luck everyone. Good luck with your dreams. -Robert J. Dyer We couldn ' t believe that senior year could be so full. We really learned the meaning of working long hours for lit¬ tle (or no) pay. A great sense of appre¬ ciation came over us after we started working on this book. We felt the frus¬ tration of drawing layouts, identifying pictures, putting labels on pictures, writing copy, finding out that pictures and or layouts and or anything else possible was not quite right, AND spell¬ ing every name in the entire school correctly, we hope! Needless to say, we thank each and every staff member for helping us with endless hours of work. Special thanks to Marc Bower for draw¬ ing many, many senior layouts even though he wasn ' t on staff and could ' ve gone home. Also, to our families and friends who put up with our mood swings, frustrations and long hours, thank you! -Jennifer Markwardt and Charman Hubler The yearbook was definitely hard work and tried the patience of each and ev¬ ery editor. Here , Robby J. Dyer dem¬ onstrates the look of the typical frus¬ trated,, lost, and downright irritable Bellevinois editor. Ahhhh . . . the memories! What ' s wrong with the book? You ' re not in it enough? Hate your class picture? You did lots more stuff? You want to be known for all that you ' ve done . . . It ' s just a darn shame You ' re not the only one. The lighting was bad . Your hair was a mess. The picture they took Just wasn ' t your best. You joined the French Club for fondue galore! You missed just one day, The day the picture was for What can we do to make things up . . What is the answer? Hey, we give up! Well, we ' ll be going and saying Farewell But, gosh darn, doing this book Was just plain hell. -Roy M. Liu It ' s over. And yes, we ' re glad. No more endless hours after school finishing up all the things that weren ' t quite done. No more miles searching for faces that never seemed to exist. No more der¬ anged nightmares of being attacked by killer layouts, and no more PDS. (There is such a thing as Pre-Deadline Syn¬ drome.) Even though this book has caused us many trials and tribulations, we have had some good times and can now appreciate not only the book, but also all the work we put into it. It ' s hard to overlook the people who helped us out during tight times. We ' d like to give special thanks to Jennifer Mark¬ wardt for the many hours she spent typing in name after name after name We ' d also like to wish next year ' s staff the best of luck with the book, and hope that in spite of all the rough times, you have as much fun as we did. And . would we do it again? You be the judge. We ' re outta here -Ciao! -Dawn Sheroky and Aimee Salyapongse ??????????????????????????????????????? 222 Closing Dedication to Ian Voss Life is a game. Object . not to win, but to play by the rules and survive, To keep on going when times are rough, To keep on trying when times are tough, To fight for what you believe in, and to achieve your goals. Many things happen, good and bad, but life must go on. Things happen when least expected, but you should take them one step at a time. Things are not always that easy. And things are not always that fine. The course of things getting better will always take time. Friendship Means So Much Once in a while there is a friendship that is wonderful right from the start. Once in a while there is a friendship that brings a special joy to the heart. Once in a while a friendship is made that will last a lifetime through, and we ' re so thankful we had that time to build a friendship true. Dear friend, you ' ll be sadly missed by all that knew you Remember Me Remember me with smiles and laughter, For this is how I will remember you. If you remember me with tears, then I ' d rather you didn ' t remember me at all. For I have not lost you, you are in my heart forever. Ian would want us to be happy. Cod took him because he was needed above. These vo rks nd thoughts were submitted by Angela Marie Knowles and Angel Marie Wise. For the past 30 years, Belleville West has had the privilege of having Charles L. McConnell as a faculty member. In his tenure with us he has taueht both auto mechanics and machine shop with skill and dedication. Most of all, however, he has taught life skills to teenagers. He al¬ ways has cared deeply for his students as people, and he has taught with an appro¬ priate mixture of firmness and gentleness. Charlie McConnell teaches as the best of parents want their children taught. We very much appreciate his service to this school and to its students. His well-earned retirement is a genuine loss to both col¬ leagues and students. Norman Pyatt Armstrong ' s teaching ca¬ reer has spanned 35 years, 31 of them at Belleville West, and he is a Mighty Ma¬ roon through and through. He is a gra¬ duate of BTHS. Mr. Armstrong has been a teacher of physical education throughout his career. He has been our cross country coach since 1963, and the head track coach since 1964. In the classroom, on the track, wherever he has been, he has been a model to and a molder of teenagers. He has been — and is — truly a class act. Mr. Armstrong taught, coached, and served legions of young people. We will miss him greatly! We extend to him best wishes for much happiness in retirement and a resounding Mighty Maroon Salute for all he has meant to us. -Mr. Jerry Turn¬ er Closing 223 1989 Bellevinois Staff Opening Closing Division Page Editor . . .
