Portrait of Pride Break Tradition 1983 Volume 1 Bement High School 200 S. Champaign Bement, IL 61813 217-678-8230 A Portrait of Pride From the very start of the year, Mr. Mash tried to restore the hearts of the students and the community members of Bement. He stressed the importance of dignity and self-respect and motivated us toward a common goal: to become the school with class and pride. The yearbook editors and staff also worked to meet this new goal. We hope by naming our yearbook PORTRAIT OF PRIDE we can establish a standard of quality and self-respect that future editors and staff will follow. 4 Mr. Mash tries to awaken a sense of pride through an assembly. Yearbook member. Kathy Lane, carries her load of the work to produce a successful yearbook Cheerleaders and fans were an important part of the fantastic football season. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS STUDENT LIFE p. 6 PEOPLE p. 22 ACADEMICS p. 42 SPORTS p. 54 CLUB AND ORGANIZATIONS p. 76 ADS p. 98 INDEX p.116 Break Tradition Harry Porter introduces Don Newcombe. one of the greatest pitchers in the history of baseball Wives Tale Proves to be Myth Freshmen Tracy Roberts and Beth Cook just step off the bus ready to enter upon their high school years. An old wives tale says that one must never break tradition. If one does, it results in a great amount of bad luck. The first day of school students believed this tale to be true. Many students could not find their classrooms due to some room changes. When they finally found their way to class they discovered a change in the lunch program. There was a choice this year between the regular lunch or a la carte. After school, the athletes went to practice and they found a ten dollar fee waiting for them (if they wished to participate in the sport.) Meanwhile. Mr. Mash (the new superintendent) was back at the office working diligently to get the referendum passed. Together, Mr. Mash's, the faculty's, and the administration’s hard work paid off. The educational fund passed and after recounting the votes, they detected a tie in the building fund. The clubs ran into the difficult money situation, too. Fund raising activities were a popular pastime of many. This year there was no drama club but a birth of a new club — the Industrial Arts club. Now students found that it was time to celebrate. The FHA kicked off the beginning of another great year by holding their first powder puff football game ever. The band held their celebration at the Rooster Inn. Each member donated money, in order to enjoy a buffet dinner. French classes journeyed to Peoria to see the play Serino. French III and IV also traveled to Normal one night and saw the French film Les Jeux Sont Faites. Next came homecoming, the biggest celebration of the year. On the first day of spirit week, students held a tug-of-war (in which the juniors won). After it was over, students got back to class late so spirit week was cancelled. Throughout the year many assemblies were held. Speakers Don Newcombe and Bill Essex gave talks about drugs and their effects upon you. Other assemblies were pep rallies. Many were held due to the good fortune of the football team. This team went farther than any other team in Bulldog history. The Bulldogs won the Little Okaw Valley Champs title and won their first game in the state playoffs in which they played Colfax-Octa-via. They then traveled to Ziegler-Royalton but were defeated. The 1982-83 school year was full of broken traditions and new beginnings but the old wives tale was proven to be just a myth. m up Band members have high hopes for the U of I Parade Competition before getting on the bus. Varsity volleyball players Angie Gallagher and Debbie Roberts block Areola’s player number 54's dink. Opening 5 Exceptions Make Life Homework, tests, and book reports are everyday parts of a student’s life. But it’s the dances, parades, and plays that make high school memorable. High school years are a time of learning but special events help make them a time of personal growth. 6 Student Life Tina Danielson is the star of the freshman float.

Spirited Village Sprouts Farming and out of town employment are two of the main occupations of those living in Bement, Illinois — population 1800; age 127; location — in the heart of Central Illinois. Other businesses in Bement have had several changes in the past year, after fourteen years of service Ray-craft Pharmacy closed. Food King also closed after three years. An addition tothetown was Dr. Roger Weise who opened an office at 116 E. Bodman in mid-September. The school also faced many problems at the beginnings of the year. On November 2, 1982 members of the community voted 794-554 to increase the education tax rates of 40tf per $100 assessed value. If this had not passed it would have meant the elimination of all sports, band, chorus, homecoming, French, home economics, industrial arts, plays, prom, newspaper, yearbook, and all other extracurricular activities. The Operations, Building and Maintenance fund, which asked for a 150 per $100 assessed valuation increase, lost by one vote 653-654. A discovery recount was later held and one yes vote was found, totie it, but it was still considered a defeat. Even though the referendum passed, spring sports were not brought back. The Bement Athletic Boosters Ass. donated the money to pay for the spring sports.

The Smurfs became the favorite characters of many. 10 Student Life Darlene Cody, Colleen O'Conner and Krista Kopp caught the head-band craze Leg-warmers were practical as well as stylish. Dare To Be Different Living well and lookinggood was a first priority for many high school students. From day one, many tried to create lasting impressions. Those daring to be different wore leg-warmers, miniskirts, friendship pins, duck shoes and punk-rock glasses. Ruffles, laces and ribbons returned with the prairie-look as girls tried to flaunt their femininity. Long hair became a thing of the past and was replaced with short, curly and sassy locks. Many of the guys became noticeably more fashion conscious. Several could be seen wearing designer shirts and jeans when they finally gave in to the designer craze. According to the annual staff survey a perfect evening would entail a male accompanying his date to Champaign in a Z28 for pizza at Garcia’s and a viewing of the movie, “Porkey’s.” Those who didn’t have a date, couldn’t find a date, weren’t allowed to date or were too cheap to date could be found hanging out at Pizza Man. After school, many students used their leisure hours practicing football and basketball. Others perferred to study lessons assigned to them by their favorite teacher, Mr. Wingle. A few found that reading the daily mishaps of Garfield was a good form of relaxation. Living well and looking good was the philosophy of most kids. Talk of changing lifestyles and fashions could be heard throughout the halls. Jackie Fogerson and Denise Quick model the latest in sun glasses. Fads and Fashions 11 Through all the Hurricanes, Spirit Week Keeps on Sailing The school pulsed with excitement at the thought of Homecoming and spirit week. Student Council voted for the theme Sailing because it was easy to work with. That was only the first step in making spirit week successful. In order to make spirit week a success they had to order decorations, get props, line up cars for the candidates and organize the parade. Stu- dent Council was also responsible for the changing of the parade route. Miss G. thought it was a success because, everyone cooperated and worked together.” Laurie Bates waits for the cheerleading truck to arrive, so she can place her sign on it.

The whisperings of the crowd were replaced by the traditional Homecoming processional, played by pianist Shelley Grindley. Mistress of Ceremonies, Valerie Jennings, announced kindergarten attendants Jami and Jeri Weise, Jacob Moore and Jared Wrench. They were followed by the king and queen candidates as they took their positions in front of the billowing sails and waited as Valerie announced the King, Lynn Larimore, and the Queen, Bev Smothers. The couples then danced as Miss Ogles sang the song, Sailing and balloons and sparkles drifted down from the ceiling. 14 Student Life Homecoming King.

Following their traditional evening of song and revelry, the madrigal singers invited their guests to join them in the tasting of various international cheeses. Miss Ogle's father graciously donated the refreshments. The madrigal singers served cheeses from Denmark, Germany, England, Norway, France, Switzerland, Italy, and the United States. Later that evening, several of the performers were found finishing off the leftovers and dancing at Pat Tie-man's house. 16 Student Life Play Cast. First Row — Mary Kirwan. Shelley Grindley.

Hi Ho Trigger, away! exclaims junior James McHale. while seniors Richard Molck and Glen Clark ridicule his fine stud The Worst Play Places First in Student’s Eyes The twenty-eight Bement High School students produced “The Worst High School Play in the World . Miss Sharp stated, I read several plays and had students read some; this one seemed the most unusual. The play’s plot consisted of a young prince threatened by his uncle who wanted to take over the throne. The queen left the prince in the forest where he lived with squirrels. Rescued to an abby he prepared to come back and claim the throne which was rightfully his. Junior John Woolley played the leading role Ivanha the prince. Ivanha's mother Queen Nina played by senior Shelley Grindley and Ivanha's vicious Uncle Viscera played by sophomore James McHale led the twenty-eight member cast. Committees of ten additional recruits helped with settings. The cast members enjoyed preparing the play. The practice was found to be hilarious. “Almost every night the actors would think of something new to put in, so it constantly changed, and it never became dull,” stated Miss Sharp. A portion of the play cast display their T-shirts and teddy bears. Spring Play 19 Senior Shelley Grindley and a guest Kevin Rumple dance to the music of Satin.

April 30 marked The Best of Times as BHS students bustled to pick up their date's flowers; finished last minute preparations with their hair and clothing; and posed for pictures for relatives and friends. The arrival of Prom, a dinner-dance held on the 21st floor of University Inn, Champaign, IL seemed to be a long awaited event. One junior replied, This will be my first time attending Prom and I am looking forward to it.” For some, the new experience repeated previous year’s — an evening provided with good food and dancing music. The dinner-dance opened with a welcome by junior class president Sue Fristoe and an invocation by junior class vice-president Valerie Jennings. The dinner consisted of a main entree of ribeye or turkey. The Best of Times , this year's prom theme prevailed as couples danced to the music of Satin. Each guest received a memory booklet provided by the junior class. Tinted-blue carnations decorated each of the dining tables. A candle on each table provided a subtle lighting effect. Superintendent Dan Mash felt the University Inn provided a very nice effect for Prom. Prom scheduled to last until 11:30 p.m., broke up before 11:00 p.m. as students, anxious to attend post prom — a dance sponsored by the community, scurried to their new destination. Some attending Prom felt the band did not meet student's expectations. Others who stayed showed themselves as having ‘‘The Best of Times”. Prom 21 Traditions Break People all over the world broke traditions. They became more creative and independent so that they met the constant changes of today's society. Bement's students were no exceptions. They met with many changes and found that even though tradition gave them a feeling of security; change challenged them to meet todays demands. 22 People President Richard Molck discusses plans for the upcoming year with other Student Council members. Queen candidate Erin Harvey anticipates the beginning of the Homecoming Parade. Patricia Wierman enjoys her weekly melodian practice. Students show their enthusiasm by attending the JV football game. Division People 23 Lifestyles Expand Students today are a new breed. For example you will find today that more girls get involved in sports and many students spend their time outside the home than as compared with students of the past several years. A study of the Bement High School environment found the school day consisted of the regular seven period day. Many students were involved in extra co-curricular activities. Those who did not involve themselves in these activities worked a part-time job or spent their leisure time socializing. Many students went as far as Decatur or Champaign to find entertainment and jobs. Senior Deonna Fogerson concentrates on making one of her superb pizzas.

For Rita Cantrell this year's Homecoming experience was Miss Suess advises Ardie Tracy on her Health paper. her most memorable. “It was fun because I had never been to one before so it was a new experience,” replied Rita Cantrell. Whatever the reasons for having fun the freshmen always provided one. Most of the freshmen made sure there were no dull moments. They kept busy in concession stands and building a float. Almost all the freshmen agreed that when you become a freshman you can always expect some new and unexpected experiences. 26 People David Lansford Jody Lewis Charlotte Malloch Lora Manalisay Lisa Martin Tracy McClusky Marty Miller Ken Nelson Shelly Poague Brian Poling Denise Quick Heidi Radmaker Terry Rexroad Tracy Roberts Patrick Schweighart Tammy Taylor John Thomas — Secretary Ted Tieman Ardie Tracy Susan Whiteside Mark Woolley Not pictured: Robbie Morfey Debbie Smith Freshman Eric Clements reviews magazine articles for his future projects.

Sophomores Hold Great Expectations I thought it would be easier ... is what Brenda Moefield said when asked what she expected from her second year of high school. Many sophomores entered the school year with certainty and expectations of the year. The sophomores found that the school had made changes. With new classes, different classrooms, and new teachers, it was almost like starting over as a freshman again. Some sophomores had mixed feelings about driver’s ed, but Michelle Gifford said she, “dreaded it. Cheryl Ashby said, I expected to feel more mature. You get to do more things like getting to start driver’s ed, beginning typing, signing our first yearbooks, and ordering class rings. Maybe the school year wasn't as easy as expected, but sophomores were proud of their accomplishments and hold expectations for next year.

Their motivation was obvious as they assisted the entire high school in many great accomplishments. The Seniors banded together to win spirit week two of the three times it was offered. They had no problems choosing a band for prom and after prom their junior and senior years. Decisions on graduation announcements and commencement exercises were made effortlessly because of their cooperation and unity. The whole class played an essential role in winning the LOVC in basketball during the spring of 1982 and LOVC in football during the fall of 1982. None of the seniors wanted to jeopardize the harmony of their class by graduating early. Throughout their high school years they tried to set an example of involvement and participation in school and community activities. 32 People PATTY BILYEU — Madrigals 4; FHA 1.4.

After all what are the teachers here for? They are here to teach the students about important subjects that will help the student all through their life. They are here to give the students new exper- iences such as acting in plays, taking field trips, and working on the school yearbook and newspaper. Many of the students probably won’t get to do most of these activities again. Without teachers there would be no point in having school. Mrs Flood.

The board strived to set the school's operation so every individual student will think independently and make a fulfilling and productive contribution to society. Secretaries found a new responsibility with the computer. Bus drivers drove many miles around the country including all the trips to parades, sports activities, field trips, and other extracurricular activities. Janitors worked day and night keeping the school clean. Parents and students have found that with each responsible school employee doing their particular job they make the school run efficiently.

Like the things a student does year after year: cramming, researching, learning, studying, and creating. The students are always the same, there are bookworms, daydreamers, know-it-alls, and clowns in every class. But, other things never change, too. Some things never change, like there will always be homework, book reports, pop quizzes, term papers, and tests. 42 Academics Books play an important role in every student’s day.

Team Makes Improvements Coach Larimer, commenting on the year, stated, Our objective in J.V. ball this season was to get as much playing time to as many as possible. We had a large J.V. squad this year, which was terrific. I think everyone improved immensely by the end of the year. Hopefully that playing time will give them valuable experience for the future. This year the J.V. girl's volleyball team won five out of ten games. Awards presented to the J.V. players included: The Bulldog Award and The Purple Pride Award. Both of which were presented to Colleen O'Conner. Feelings about the year were expressed many different ways.

Not having very many J.V. players created a problem with J.V. practices. This was solved by practicing soley with the varsity team. Overall this helped the boys get over the initial fear of hitting pads with other players who were bigger and faster than themselves.

Girls gave tough competition to many of the teams played. Though efforts remained high the team's recorded ended 7-10. When asked what skill the team needed to improve, junior Sue Fristoe stated,” . . . shooting needs work.” Girls felt the toughest game of the season was the last game with Areola.

Angie Gallagher and Valerie Jennings said that this is the best year they've ever had. This year the cheerleaders really put out extra efforts to help raise everyone's spirit. Throughout the year the cheerleaders did special things for the ballplayers. For the football players they made cookies, put signs in their yards, sent them secret admirer notes and candy for a week. On the last day the cheerleaders made the football players guess who their secret pixie was and if they didn’t they got a pie in their face. The cheerleaders went to camp in the summer at the U of I. They learned four new cheers and chants. The JV cheerleaders won three third place ribbons and the varsity won two third place ribbons. Thanks to all of their hardwork and efforts 1983 became a winning year. Sarah Walsh enjoys cheering for her Uncles Tom and Steve Walsh. Clubs Continue to Grow Clubs have played an important part in schools. Clubs were made in order for people to congregate and form special plans. Members met once a week at least to air their views, catch up on news, and possibly to feast. Clubs have continued to grow throughout the years. At Bement High School, clubs played an important role in the students' lives this year. Students found many opportunities to grow culturally and mentally. These opportunities ranged from the French Club seeing the French play, Tartuffe by Moliere to the FHA powder puff game. All members found clubs rewarding and worthwhile.

FHA members learned to work together, to organize their activities, to raise money, and to develop projects for the state conference. FHA members and FFA members learned to work together to present a good Morp. Becki Lash and Kim Hooker chose the band Destiny for Morp. The dance held February 5, kicked the National FHA week off to a big start. Throughout the week activities such as a jellybean count and valo-gram sales geared up the members for the Section 4-C Rally. FHA members traveled to Springfield to State Convention, April 15-16. Jamie Ater received a first for a summer dress she made and Kathy Lane received a second for her jogging suit. Kathy Lane replied, I learned a lot on how I could improve my suit and what the judges look for.” During the general sessions president Tina Adams accepted awards for increased membership and contributing to the Illinois Foundation for the FHA.

Zoo Highlights FFA’s Year FFA formed to teach young men about farming and their community produced an interesting and productive year. Two of their activities consisted of money-making projects, and the children’s zoo. The FFA sold, for their main money-making projects, garden and flower seeds. The FFA sold a total of about $100 worth of the seeds. President Tom Hensley stated, We really didn't make as much as we wanted to, but we made enough. Members traveled to different parts of the country judging soil. The FFA sponsored a children’s zoo. Animals brought ranged from llamas to kittens. Grades 1-3 went to see the animals. The high school Home Economic’s Child Care class brought their preschoolers. The zoo helped to bring awareness of different types of animals found in our community. The preschool and primary children were very much impressed. Several high school students felt the zoo was a worthwhile experience for the good that the FFA club promoted such an activity.

Any drama club member could become a Thespian by earning the needed ten points by memorizing lines for plays and working on various committees. One point is equivalent to ten hours of very hard work. Once the requirements are completed student members received in a ceremony, held May 12, pins or charms and a membership certificate. This year's Thespians received various awards for their participation at the U of I Thespian Convention. 86 Clubs Thespians. Front Row — Cathy Flood — Row — Mary Kirwan. Richard Molck. Bill Sponsor.

The Bulldogs Bark's highlight was being elected president of the Illinois High School Press Association. Newstaff members worked hard at the beginning of the year selling subscriptions to the Bement Record. At the end of the year, members worked hard to sell editions of the Senior Issue. Editor Debbie Roberts prepared layouts while Angie Gallagher, assistant editor, did most of the typing. Classes interviewed articles for each week’s editions.

Miss Gudauskas enjoys instructing the kindergarten attendants. 0 Council Creates a Week of Festivities Student Council members struggled over several important decisions and labored for many long hours at the beginning of the school year to organize the Homecoming festivities. They separated into various committees and distributed the load of producing a successful celebration. The council arranged for the election of a king and queen, chose kindergarten attendants, organized spirit week and pep rally activities, coordinated a parade, decorated the gym, and hosted a dance. All members felt somewhat relieved as the week drew to a close without any major catastrophies. Most thought that they had provided an enjoyable week for the community- Throughout the school year, Student Council continued to meet and plan exciting activities for the entire student body. At Christmas, they collected cards for the residents of Bement Manor. In the spring, they sponsored a Coke dance. Even though there was a small turnout, the guests that did attend had an enjoyable evening. Later in the year, the council invited the Chanute Air Force Band to play for an afternoon assembly. As with any effective group, wise and compassionate leaders play an essential role. President Richard Molck, Vice-President Sue Fristoe, and Secretary Stephanie Burgener strove to unify the twenty Student Council members. The efforts of sponsors' Kent LeF-ever and Minnie Gudauskas to guide and advise the council were also greatly appreciated. Valerie Jennings receives decorating advice from Mr. LeFever. David Guffey listens attentively to John Clark's suggestion. Stephanie Burgener records the minutes with the aid of John Clark. Student Council 93 Members Participation Increases Members Kathy Lane, Michelle Gifford. Debbie Burton and Susan Crupper sing Joyeux Noel” at the French Club Christmas Party. Participation by French Club members made this year a big success. Early in the year French Club members traveled to Peoria to view the play, “Sirono Deber-shanac . Members enjoyed watching the actors display French habits, customs, and festivities. Later in the year members traveled to Champaign to view the play, ‘‘Tartuffe’’. Members actively worked concession stands to provide Mardi Gras. This year’s attendence record exceeded the records of the past four years. For the first time in Mardi Gras history all members attended. Much planning by the members during activity meetings went into organizing Mardi Gras. This year Mardi Gras enacted the setting of a French cafe. Two prizes for costumes went to Andi Shonkwiler for best costume and Deb Burton for least recognizable costume. Gifts and food actively donated by French Club members and community provided the needy with extras for Christmas. Members decided to keep this as a tradition and followed through making posters and placing them throughout the community. As in past years the drive was a success. Mrs. Gaigalas felt that student motivation was excellent this year. ”We've made quite a bit of money and all the members were determined that Mardi Gras would Members Angi Carney and Debbie Burton decorate the bulletin board in the French room. turn out to be the best accomplishments of many years.” Members included seniors — Meg Bennett, Deb Burton, Carrie Cahill, Glen Clark, Shelley Grind-ley, Tammy Harper, Richard Molck, Jeff Neidel, Debbie Roberts and Pat Tieman; juniors — Lori Foran, Sue Fristoe, Angie Gallagher, Gail Gentry, Tony Henson, Kim Hooker, Mary Kirwan, Dan Koester, Angi Rexroad, Janice VanVIeet, Karen Wildman, and John Woolley; sophomores — Sherri Ashby, Lori Burgener, Angi Carney, Susan Crupper, Michele Gifford, Tom Hensley, Krista Kopp, James McHale, Colleen O'Connor, Kraig Rogers, Karrie Slagle, Andi Shonkwiler, Patricia Wierman; freshmen — Beth Cook, Tracy Cozad, Theresa Flavin, Jacki Fogerson, Tina Hendrix, David Lansford, Jody Lewis, Lisa Martin, Shelly Poague, Denise Quick, Tracy Roberts, Patrick Schweighart, Tammy Taylor, Susan Whiteside. French Club 95 Ideas Change Book Along With the New Editors Came Original Ideas Annual Staff began their busy year by sending assistant editors Karen Wildman and Lori Foran to Muncie, Indiana to attend a cone-week workshop at Ball State University. The girls said they learned the proper techniques of producing a good yearbook. In mid-August, some members sold ads to Bement and the surrounding communities. They raised a total of $1400. Money was raised also by selling bumper stickers and pins, computer match-up, monthly bake sales, and three concession stands. Juniors contributed $500 to the Annual Staff because they realized the rising cost of the annual. Members met weekly on Monday nights to work on the annual. Members could be found staying till nine or ten o'clock as deadlines were met. Many members worked on into the summer finishing up the final deadline. Along with the new editors came original ideas. The 1983 editors — Shelley Grindley, Lori Foran, and Karen Wildman; decided to name their book that had been nameless for years. After spending much time the name Portrait of Pride was chosen. Other changes also took place. Such as layout styles, placement of captions, use of spot color, cover changes, using pictures on ads, and many more. Senior Patrick Tieman and junior Gail Gentry print pictures in the darkroom for the upcoming deadline. Editor Shelley Grindley gets volunteers to work in the football concession stand. $6 Clubs Senior Kathy Lane works on the ad division of the 1983 yearbook.

Today you will not see this. Today you will see many different specialized stores. The reason for this is that someone along the line broke a tradition, some little change that changed the entire industry of the small town operation. These little changes added up to make the modernized world of today. As you continue to look through the next seventeen pages you will see how Bement and its surrounding communities have grown with the rest of the world in breaking traditions.
