Text from Pages 1 - 160 of the 1983 volume:

No man can return across that threshold, Though he can look down still and see The green light waver in the water weeds. Loren Eisely Quite often we hear our parents using the phrase “The Good Ole Days.” Centuries ago the term for this was. In Days of Yore.” We. the Chieftain Yearbook Staff, are capturing “the Days of Yore” as it happens now, with this yearbook. No one can ever go back to the past, but they can be reminded of it and the importance of it. This is why the Chieftain chose the theme “In Days of Yore.” We are recording the past as it happens in the present. The past holds many discoveries and experiences that we all hold dear. This year’s Chieftain will again show us the importance of our past years at Brimfield High School and we will put in tangible form our “days of yore.” An Hays ©f Uore 2 ©ur §d|ool SSoark: STljetr lauis gouern our kingdom The School Board's laws govern our “kingdom” of Brimfield. During their bi-monthly meetings, the Board discusses the many difficulties there are in running our “kingdom” smoothly. The Board approves bills that the district has incurred, they hire the best certified staff they can, and they also set the policies that govern our schools. In a few words, these people are the “rulers of our kingdom. Our School Board consists of seven concerned and dedicated individuals doing the best job they can. They have as their president Mr. Michael Kuhns. Kathy Sherman serves as secretary as well as serving on the finance and curriculum committees. Other members include Ronald Anderson, Roger Sandall, James Ryan, Ralph Peters, and Carol Claybaugh. Each of them serves on three of the Board’s standing committees-curriculum, finance, negotiations, policy, building and grounds. These committees study their specific concerns and bring their recommendations and research to the full Board for decisions. This has been a year for a great deal of revision and major changes in policies. Many of which will greatly affect next year’s curriculum and extra curricular activities. 4 Administrators: gltfcy carry out ttje laws Our high school also welcomes Mr. Fred Roberts as its new principal. He and his wife Diane also have a new addition to their family. Julie Diane became the newest member of the Robert's clan on October 31st. The Brimfield Unit District office has a new man in it. Our student body welcomes Mr. Charles D. Langley as our new superintendent. Coming to us from Mantino, Illinois. Mr. Langley has experience as an elementary school principal and curriculum director. He is working hard at his first superintendent’s job, and we wish him well as he endeavors to improve our district’s financial situation. Mr. Langley and his wife Jennifer are also first time parents. Their daughter Andrea was born in early October. Brimfield Grade School’s principal Jim Griner doesn’t look like a motorcycle jockey, but the truth is, Mr. Griner is the founder of an international motorcycle club — The Yamaha 650 Society. His bright orange coveralls and helmet are a familiar sight every morning. During this tenure at B.G.S. he has worn the hat of a special education teacher, a substitute for various absent teachers, a part-time coach, the editor of his motorcycle club's newsletter, and a variety of other demanding jobs. Mr. Griner is a true “Jack-of-all-trades and we hope he will be around for years to come. Before coming to Brimfield, Mr. Roberts led a very fast-paced life. He has gone from an electronics specialist while in the Green Berets, to the director of the Henry County Youth Bureau, to working in six different countries and earning two university degrees. With all of this experience we hope his stay at B.H.S. will be as challenging and satisfying as anything he has done to date. Welcome to B.H.S. Mr. Roberts! 5 ?!E§ E A?Ki£ Once again we dedicate a portion of this yearbook to the Royalty of our kingdom. This year many changes have come from beneath the drawbridge of circumstances. Several of the faculty have unfortunately been “let go for the next school year. Yet. the remaining teachers will continue to fulfill a main goal they all share. The Brimfield Royalty protect their students from the never ending fight against ignorance. Bernadine Tucker (RIGHT) challenged BHS students to stretch their artistic abilities. She also taught a third grade class at BGS. jim Camp (BELOW LEFT) and Karl Kasjens (BELOW CENTER) lea the way in music Mr. Camp produced a play with the nigh school chorus called Stop, You're Killing Me! Mr. Kasiens instructed the high school jazz band, the Renegade Band, and the grade school bands. Don Mathews (BOTTOM RIGHT) taught high school English from his own text. Mathews Method of Learning Grammar. Petty Schnarr (LOWER RIGHT) and Sandra Dutro (BELOW RIGHT) taught junior high English. Mrs. Schnarr also sponsored Spanish Club; Mrs. Dutro was in charge of French Club. Many students of BHS leave the school with great knowledge in the fields of English, Grammar, and Literature. This is due to a very special and unique teacher, Mrs. Lola Green-baum. Mrs. Greenbaum has been an “institution” at BHS for the last eighteen years. Every student has had her for speech and English literature. BHS salutes her and wishes her good health and success in her continuing battle with reoccuring cancer. 6 Yeah, down in Guantanamo Bay ..is a familiar phrase if you were a student in Mr. Sauerwein's biology class. When he enlisted in the Navy, he experienced life in a way that makes him a perfect biology teacher — he was a salvage diver. All of his students look forward to and enjoy hearing his many sea stories. LEFT CENTER: Brimfield is a great farming community with high standards to uphold. Mr. William Cinnamon is the agricultural “expert” who prepared BHS's future farmers. Due to a quadruple heart bypass, Mr. Cinnamon was absent the last month or so of school, but was supported by substitute Darrin Knuth (his former student teacher). Science Wizards Radine Kellogg (CENTER) and Arthur Howe (RIGHT CENTER) were in charge of high school chemistry and junior high science respectively. Also members of the scientific community here are Mr. Brad Carr (LEFT) and Mrs. Linda Stokes (BOTTOM). Mr. Carr taught all high school math classes and is author of the infamous Carr's Formula. Mrs. Stokes had the junior high math classes and also served as a grade school track coach. 7 Physical fitness is an important part of everyone's life, and it is the prime concern of Brimfield physical education teachers Mike Pryor, Terry Hart (LEFT) and Debbie Fisher. Mr. Pryor also coached the high school boys' basketball teams while Mr. Hart coached all the district's girls' teams. Besides her P.E. classes, Miss Fisher also instructed the junior high and sophomore health classes. In the business department, BHS has Mrs. Norma Hanley (CENTER) to guide students in preparing for careers in typing, filing, and accounting. For more domestic skills, students turn to Mrs. Mercia Fredrick and Mrs. Mary Ann White (CENTER LEFT). Mrs. Fredrick taught consumer education and various home ec. classes while Mrs. White supervised the Co-Op program and taught advanced home ec. Debbie Fisher began her first year at Brimfield as a P.E. and Health teacher. She also found time to organize and coach the girls’ high school volleyball program as well as coach softball. On a personal note. Miss Fisher enjoys all outdoor sports when she has time for relaxing (which isn't often)! This super lady has made the extra effort to make school more enjoyable for her students. This has made a big impression on her students. 8 In the high school, Mr. Ken Jessen has taught U.S. History. Modern World History, Civics, and interpersonal relations for more than twenty-five years. His lectures bring his classes alive and eager to participate in class conversations. This unique way of teaching makes Mr. lessen a favored teacher among the student body. He was voted Favorite Teacher this year, for the second year in a row. LEFT: Miss Lorraine Roliardi has been the guidance counselor and career advisor for both schools the last nine years. She also taught high school psychology and geography classes. Under her guidance the BHS student council has grown and prospered becoming very active at school and throughout the Hopewell District. Unfortunately, next year, BHS will be without Rollie's skills. Budget cutbacks have eliminated her job. LEFT AND COUNTER CLOCKWISE: Another victim of budget cuts is Mr. Gary Sullivan, the junior high social studies teacher. He also took time after work to coach the BHS baseball team. Miss Jane Snow is the district librarian. She taught library and researched skills as well as checked out the books. She checked them out that is after Mr. Kevin Curtain and Mrs. Mildred Moulton brushed up our reading skills. Mr. Curtain has been the special reading teacher for grades 1 through 6 while Mrs.Moulton taught junior high reading. Mr. Curtain has also served as our resident computer expert” with the Title I Computer. 9 The grade school teachers are the foundation builders for the future. Each grade is like another step up the ladder of educational success. RIGHT: |ane Sauerwein and Erika Giles began the educational climb with first graders. BELOW LEFT: Jon Davis and Shirley Sollenberger taught the fifth grades. BELOW RIGHT: Kathy Seymour and Cindy Sloan directed the fourth graders. RIGHT: Before “stepping into junior high, BHS students passed through the sixth grade with Holly More and Beverly Hopkins. BELOW CENTER: Sue Streitmat-ter prepared the kindergarteners for their first steps on the ladder. BELOW RIGHT: In the second grade Berenice Johnson and Pam McCartney readied their classes for third grade and May Flickenger (BELOW LEFT) and Bernadine Tucker. 10 Teachers are always plagued by too much work and not enough time to do it in. With larger classes such a problem can be hurtful to student learning. In an effort to alleviate this situation, Brimfield Grade School employs a number of teacher aides to help with those particularly large classes. Helping Sue Streitmatter with the kindergarteners was Gloria Goetz. Sandy Rachel and Larry Brown helped |ane Sauerwein and Erika Giles with the first graders while Kathy Neyea and Annette Doughty aided Pam McCartney and Berenice Johnson with their second graders. Cheryl Pacey and Rae Ellen Hopkins were invaluable to fourth grade teachers Cindy Sloan and Kathy Seymour. These aides have enabled teachers to spend more in-class time with their students as well as helped ease the burden of never-ending paper work and some one-on-one tutoring. Every teacher wished for an aide. Too bad they couldn't all have one. 11 §tudents learn . 9 Brimfield has always been fortunate in the quality — the high quality — of the student teachers who have worked here. This year’s group proved to be on par with the rest. Two young women student taught under Mary Ann White in the home economics department and Darrin Knuth “learned the ropes” of agriculture from Bill Cinnamon. Debbie |epson (CENTER) was the first semester student teacher with Mrs. White. Miss (epson majored in home economics because it is a field that has allowed her to explore her many interests while offering her a variety' of career opportunities . . . She included running, camping, reading, playing the piano and hand needled crafts as her hobbies. The second semester Mrs. White supervised Mary Leach (Top) A student at Illinois State University. Miss Leach stayed with the OToole family while in Brimfield. She enjoys sewing, cooking, and embroidering as hobbies. In the agriculture department. Mr. Cinnamon welcomed Darrin Knuth from Western Illinois University. Mr. Knuth came to Brimfield because he had been advised of its strong agricultural education program. His experience as a student teacher proved extremely beneficial when he was hired to substitute for Mr. Cinnamon at the end of the year. Mr. Cinnamon was gone from Easter until the end of the year recovering from open heart surgery. Mr. Knuth filled in quite abley. to teacti 12 Amazing iTOirade tOorkers Perform Secretaries are probably some of the most important people around when it comes to keeping school in session all year. Without secretaries, the principals and the superintendent would most likely be lost! At the high school office is Nan Korondi, a hard working lady who is a really big help at the high school. And how would you like to worry about five-hundred kids everyday? Chris Bosch is a lady who does this at the grade school. Last, but not least, are the secretaries at the district office. They are Sherry Wendorff and Una Hartman. UPPER LEFT: Performing some of her miracle work is Mrs Wendorfl UPPER RIGHT: With a momentarily clean desk.

This has been a year for changes in the food and maintenance departments. Head Cook Mary Knowles left in mid-year and was replaced by Ruby Bartlow (FAR LEFT). Helping them were Connie Pacey and Carol Paul (MIDDLE). Connie, leaving at mid-year to have a baby, was replaced by Mary Hermann. These ladies know first hand that serving lunches to five hundred students daily is no easy task. Helping maintain our schools are Mary Boord, Tom Ramsey, Russ Ludke, and student helpers. A cleaning service was hired to clean the grade school. TOP: Mary Boord makes sure students get their daily milk — and that they pay for it. BOTTOM: Caught lying down on the job is Tom Ramsey. Tom is our full time maintenance man this year. 14 Charioteers Auiay This loaded down school bus is the scene that fifteen loyal drivers see twice a day for approximately one hundred and eighty days out of the year. Through rain, snow, sleet, and hail they safely take students to and from school. It is obvious that bus drivers are busy people, but we've managed to catch most of them for these pictures. Two very special bus drivers are Willard and Kevin Hasselbacher who just happen to own these large yellow limousines. Also driving are: Ken lessen, Charles Sauerwein, Bill Cinnamon. Shirley Cinnamon, Earl Foster, Norma Koehl, Janet Russell, Sharon Rozene, Barb Smith, Dave Smith, Martha Archibald, Anita Silman, Shirley Lewis, Ramona Heinz, Zelma Jones, Linda Kilpatrick. Louise Segal, and Carolyn Hasselbacher. 15 Hello, Brimfield High School.” This is a phrase used by office help all through the day. Besides answering the phone, they collect attendance slips and keep absentee records. In the fast food area, students help serve lunch during the first five periods of the day. Using the Dewey Decimal System to the best of their ability, the student librarians donate their free study hall periods to better the library as a whole. ®l|e King's Noblemen TOP LEFT: Future secretaries of America: Julie Goulden.

They are bringing to a close their years at Brimfield High School, and opening the doors of the world outside. Nothing can stop these seniors on their roads to success, if they themselves will not give up. The future may look dim at times, but these graduates must push forward and take on the challenges that face them. The graduates of 1983 are not ending their lives; they've only just begun them.

Inger came with 150 other Danish students with the Youth for Understanding Organization. Inger comes from a family of six children, three of whom have been foreign exchange students. Inger, herself, is anxious to start a career as a social worker. She also hopes to come back to America soon. Inger enjoyed dating, ice skating, and going to both movies and school dances; however, she did not enjoy the fact that she could not drive. Inger's favorite “American” food was pizza. The Tom Henry family, her hosts, introduced her to pizza, and she fell in love.” Her favorite American pastime was being on the softball team. In Denmark there are no extracurricular activities and Inger enjoyed both participating in and being a spectator at our various sports. 54 §peedjes anil §pooks for 3FaIl The Junior High Speech Contest had many contestants this year.

A volleyball tournament and a hall decorating contest between the four classes were held; on Tuesday of that week students dressed in their favorite beach bum or tourist outfit. Brimfield was also visited by Mater’s Mafia during Spirit Week as some of the enterprising Juniors dressed up as gangsters creating their own special day.

Playing on the theme ‘‘Beach Party” multicolored streamers gave the gym the atmosphere of seashore and underwater fantasies. The occasion was Homecoming and everything was set for partying. Adding to the 60s flavor of the dance, everyone tried out new dances like the twist, the swim, the worm, the fly, and the watusi. Refreshments were served by eighth graders who came to get a look at high school social life first hand.

With only a year’s experience, they showed the grace and poise of seasoned musicians. Following a great act is difficult, but the jr. high band rose to the occasion. The band played selections that were very complex. The time that they slaved over the music was demonstrated by the brilliant and vibrant sounds that were heard. 68 “The high school band would like to present Mr. Kasjens with a present.” So began the Spring Arts Festival. The present was a baton to replace the one shattered on music stands, heads, and the walls. It was a well-timed and well deserved gift. The high school band ended the concert with their display of musical talent. As the notes died, the Art Club showed their wares to the public. Actions and stills hung around the cafeteria. People marveled that our school had such artistic talent. 69 §top, you’re killing me! For the first time in almost ten years, Brimfield High School presented a play. The stage was cleared, the lights replaced, and a sound system was installed in order that members of the choir, serving as the cast, could present the musical murder mystery comedy, “Stop, you’re killing me!” What's so funny? We're having fun, but not watching the play! Mr. Camp, they'll never make it. 1 love you. Larry. “Oh no! Not again! You did WHAT? 70 'Uh, uh,... what's my next line?

Can we go home?’ Ah ... Now you've got it!' Mr. Jim Camp, the musical’s director and producer, guided this amateur cast through their preparation for this delightful story in which a murder movie cast, isolated on a privately owned island, is being mysteriously killed off one at a time. Supporting members of the cast included Rick Miller, Mark Mueller, Tammy Cheney, Cheryl Parrish, Kris Whimer, and Kim Wieda. The excellent background scenery was prepared by Mrs. Tucker’s art class. A dress rehearsal was given for grade school students on Friday afternoon, May 20. Two evening performances were given that Friday and Saturday. Audiences and cast alike were pleased and entertained. After it was all over, everyone involved with the production was so excited they were saying, “Hey, let’s do this again!” We hope they do. 71 Spring break is over. Now you must face two more months of school and finals. To make it a little easier, the student council decided to promote some excitement, and the grade school followed suit. The activities ranged from apple passing by the neck to cow chip throwing in the track field. The junior high centered their spirit week around clothing styles from the rock-n-roll ‘50’s to the 1980 space age. iFestiual of ifleats TOP LEFT AND RIGHT: |azzing it up at an early hour of the day was the Air Force Rock Band from Rantoul.

BOTTOM: Mark Maher sure looks amused with someone else's compatibility list, but where is his? Contrary to popular belief, there are other dances at the high school besides Homecoming and Prom. This year, the yearbook staff held a dance in September to hand out the 1982 yearbook and to promote the 1983 annual. February brought the month of love and the student council’s Valentine’s Day dance. To add excitement to the evening, the yearbook staff acted as a computer dating service and matched each individual in the school with ten other “compatible” people. This provided some embarrassing and rather humorous moments. 74 SJrimfielti fyas it! The junior high had it's own share of dances, with decorations of crepe paper and balloons turning the daytime cafeteria into a nightime disco. Excitement could be seen in each student’s face as they walked through the door. To seventh graders it was a new experience, while the eighth graders felt like old Eros. You can always be sure, however, that efore the night was over, someone would cry, a couple would break up, and a new “love” would begin.

With the help of Mr. Kasjens and many supportive parents the band boosters were formed. By sponsoring a hog roast in the fall of the year and a “Fun Night” in the Spring the band boosters raised much needed money. The officers of this organization are president Charles Barton, vice-president Shirley Kellstadt, secretary Annette Doughty, treasurer Ernest Rosecrans; members of the special steering 1 committee are Teresa Martin, Kathy Kistner, Maricella Howald, and Marian Stahl. 76 Mathews’ method of engine run-on.

After months of planning, the junior class gave the seniors a going away party that would not be forgotten soon. The 1983 prom committee spent hours considering locations, bands, a buffet vs. a sit-down dinner, themes, etc. Then they had to decide on souvenir glasses, booklet designs and decorations. Their deliberations resulted with the theme song being “Up Where We Belong” from the movie “An Officer and a Gentleman.” The prom was held in the ballroom of the East Peoria holidome where hotel management rolled out the red carpet for Brimfield. After eating all they could at the buffet, prom-goers took advantage of the various activities available. While many danced to the music of Logan Stone, others played miniature golf, pool, and ping-pong. A few even tried their skills at the video arcade. The culmination of the evening was the crowning of the 1983 Prom king and queen. Dance-goers had voted as they arrived. The results were tallied and Ken Harding and foreign exchange student Inger Balmer reigned over the last few hours of a very enchanting evening. Members of their court were princesses Sheryl Wessels and Tammy Rahn. One note on the days following prom — Mr. Langley sent letters to the parents of all those who attended the prom complimenting them of their excellent behavior and participation at the dance. Everyone seemed pleased at such a good dance and there will be many happy memories of the event. 79 t ©n tlje Koai to §cl|olarBl}ip They will be the “class of ’87.” After eight years of climbing the educational ladder, these young people take a “breather” and participate in eighth grade graduation ceremonies. As each one goes forward to claim his or her diploma, certain thoughts run through their minds.

However, they like to play too, and advisor Jane Snow sometimes had to yell at them. Still, this small group endeavored this year to capture their school's life in pictures and words. On these pages you can see them at work. This year there was no editor, so Miss Snow did the honors with Penny Wendorff as financial manager. Holly Furlong and Terrie Miller were photographers while Karen Miller, David Ryan, jane Wendorff, Craig Ryan. Kelley Miller, Annette Paternoga, Mark Copeland, and Mike Lint produced the words. To underwrite the Chieftain’s expenses the staff sold advertising, candy hearts, computer com-patability surveys, memory books and of course, copies of the Chieftain itself. Their experiences with sales and the frustrations of meeting deadlines, getting just the right pictures (or NOT getting them), and having Miss Snow yell at them to get busy made this year something special to remember (or forget?).

The times between games can sometimes be a drag, so several groups performed or played for the audiences between varsity and junior varsity games. Providing lively music were members of tne Renegade Band. This pep band was made up of selected members from the junior high-high school band and a few former band members, under the direction of (part-time trumpeter) Mr. Kasjens. One of the more spectacular of the half-time groups was the Inaianettes pom-pon squad. Weekly practices helped make these nigh-kicking, fancy steppers a delight to watch. Also on the half-time agenda at the boys’ games were the biddy basketball players. Six teams coached by former BHS players compete against each other during the last half of the season. These third through sixth graders are already preparing for future basketball careers. Senior Night was the final half-time program of the year. Graduating students (and their parents) who participated in sports were honored. While not performers, members of the junior and senior classes and the Student Council provided refreshments and pep items in the cafeteria at each break. 107 Playing S arb to §core a (Boal The soccer team consisted of a group of very enthusiastic boys MIDDLE RIGHT: They were: Mark Richmond.

MIDDLE LEFT: The boys ran tirelessly sliding to kick the ball and using fancy foot work to out maneuver the other team. The soccer team may not have won many games last year, but the boys played super hard to score their goals. The boys displayed their talents and sportsmanship by playing well and having fun at the same time. They jumped and cheered and patted each other on the back whenever someone scored a goal. On the field of battle, slide the knights of yore, these chivalrous young men showed a great deal of spunk and determination as they ran tirelessly trying to kick the ball past their opponents’ goalie. Unfortunately, last year was the final time we will see such fine young men playing soccer at Brimfield because the soccer program has been discontinued. Due to the lack of funds the soccer program cannot continue. but the boys left last year knowing that they did their best by playing hard. 108 “83ump anil §ljout,” SlljaUs IBljat It's About MIDDLE LEFT: Members of the A and B ’ volleyball teams were Kris Miller.

Last year’s volleyball season was. in a sense, the finale or end of a very successful program. Unfortunately, due to the lack of funds, the volleyball program was discontinued. It is a shame that such a fine program must end. especially a program that taught young girls the meaning of sportsmanship and team spirit. The girls on the teams played hard and put a great amount of team spirit and fun into the sport. All of the members of both the “A” and B” volleyball teams cheered for their teammates and comrades. The girls screamed and shouted, especially when one of their teammates bumped the ball back over the net and scored a point. Each of the girls played to her full potential and all of them could bump and set and cheer and shout. Now that is what volleyball is all about! 109 We Are SJriuen TOP RIGHT: With Debra Fisher behind the wheel our six-girl team sped to an in-depth understanding of the game of volleyball.

The natural runner who is born with the ability to run fast and skillfully, and the “desire runner who makes the team because of his patience and spirit. Hours of work and stress have been big items on the running Indians' agenda. This closely knit team of ambitious young runners has shown great improvement; unfortunately, this is their last year. The School Board, as a result of financial difficulties, has dropped Cross Country from the extra curricular calendar for next year.
