It tells the story about us--our school, our classes, our faculty, our ac- tivities, our teams--enabling all to reminisce those memorable days. Each student has been an integral part of this year, while the orange and black shadows of spirit have stolen into every nook. Teachers and administrators, as well as our parents, have also done much to make our education a suc- cess by doing their jobs properly. We have assembled on these following pages what we think are the highlights and the lowdown on the year. By-Hi hopes its pictures and pat- ter will give you a flashback of 1970-71. As the fortune teller would say. Let's gaze into my crystal ball and see what's been happening.

Looking back to survey the path they have traveled the past 13 years, these 24 Seniors--no matter what sign they were born under--recall their first year in kindergarten. As they progressed through the years, they were taught in the Franklin Street School, Mary Morgan School (first sixth-grade class), and then B.H.S. In '67, they invaded the Byron high halls as frightened, untried freshies with unforgettable, panicky moments of horrible oral themes and algebra story problems. Rambling through the halls as carefree and lighthearted Sophomores, they poured over hectic geometry assignments and English papers. This was an important year as they learned how to drive the family car. The jaunty Juniors made plans for the Junior Dance and Junior-Senior banquet, took the junior and A.C.T. tests, and patiently, but unwillingly, studied the Constitution for American history. Yes, the year is '71, and now they are Seniors. They settled down to the last year among familiar friends and surroundings--the best year of regular schooling--a social and academic year to remember what with the school activities like the successful senior-faculty basketball game, Silver Whistle play, and the May Dance. Swept into a whirlpool of events which left them both weary and exhilarated, the Seniors faced GRADUA- TION. Time will bring new friends and new work, but their years at B.H.S. will never be forgotten. 14 Anne Ripplinger Secretary Scott Lucas Treasurer Ron Ashelford Cindy Cacciatore Donna Cacciatore Charles Calvert i Carol Cheek Debbie Daniel Curt Dargitz Terry Dyer Jo Ann Ebert Gary Camling Linda Camling 15 Doug Hoting Bob Huls Jim Hulsebus Don Hyle Debbie Jacobs Jeff Laws Ed Lesner Kurt Lukan Dale McAlonan Debbie McGhee Diane Medearis Sue Meeker Candy Millard Jon Mills Karen Mollan Dan Powless David Sincox Walter Skaar Judy Tilbury Ed Tutterrow Keith Tutterrow Randi Wilmarth Ken Wilson Roger Wrasse Eva Yeoman Set it up; put it in . . .

Far- ris, Sports. Smile, please ! This was a commonly heard quote once the '71 yearbook editors and staff were announced by the faculty advisor, Mrs. Hobart. As they worked together, a creaking of their craniums filled the air in the an- nual attempt to originate some idyllic ideas for Byron's yearbook. Plans for creating the book included faculty and class pictures, activity shots showing the gleeful moments, layouts, typing, and writing. It was rush, rush, rush from the time of choosing the cover to the distribution of the finished product. Old ideas were reincarnated, as new ones were experimented with. The chosen theme, one fit- ting for our time, was The Zodiac. Each staff member supplied much mental toil, sweat, and a great amount of work to prepare this book. Regardless of the state of sanity of the editors and staff, here's your book! 32 INKSPOT FRONT ROW L to R: M. Farris, W. Jarrett, E. Johnson, editors. SECOND ROW: L. Sterling, J. Mills, S. Sea- graves, N. Johnson, V. Case, M. Hartz, Mr. Jerding, Advisor. Inkspots come out today! Yes, that was the cry heard every other Thursday as the school paper rolled off the press. It's hard to visualize the chaos and consternation of the editors in ye olde Staff room when a deadline had to be met or the printer was clamoring for copy. As the average student glances at the paper, he little appreciates the struggle that the Staff may have had writing headlines, planning make-up, taking photographs, and getting news of all the activities. Pub- lishing an all-American school paper is not only a source of worry for editors, but, also, for the reporters. Each puts much time and work into every edition. Advice and help came from Mr. Michael Jerding, as his journalism class studied the recognized tech- niques of writing. The work done to date by the Staff has been of high calibre; and our private astrologer says next year s forecast looks just as good. 33 BAND FRONT ROW L to R: M. Hartz, C. Dargitz, L. Palmer, D.

With the luck of the stars and hard, tiring practice sessions, the Tigerette season was once again successful. Under the leadership of Captain Winnie Jarrett, the Drill-teamers marched during basketball halftimes through a variety of well-planned routines. These routines, however, were not devised through some mystic power, but only by determination and hard work. The girls co-operated with the band, under the direction of Mr. David Johnson, who also serves as the Tiger- ette advisor, to carry out some splendid football halftime entertainment this year. Homecoming, Rochelle Loyalty Day, and Memorial Day helped to fill the Drill-team's outside activities during the year. e Seniors enjoying their last year as Tigerettes were Winnie Jarrett and Debbie Lutz. Donna Cacciatore was pre- sented the whistle on the night of the last performance signifying that SHE is the 1971-72 Captain. FRENCH CLUB FRONT ROW L to R: Mrs. Merson, Advisor; D.

Long bus rides, last minute rehearsing, nervous contestants, and critique sheets are all characteristics of a speech team which Byron has reason to be proud of. The squad, consisting of both veterans and novices, has had a very successful year in a club that fosters and gives recognition to all types of original speaking. The season began, and students found humorous, serious, and oratorical declamation, verse and prose read- ing, radio, and extemporaneous speaking occupying their time. A new addition to work on was duet acting. After working and reworking their selections under the guidance of Mr. McNames, the contestants gave their selections under the guidance of Mr. McNames, the contestants gave their finished performances before judges at Deerfield, Waukegan, and other meets. They were fortunate enough to have two contestants in the Tourna- ment of Champions. The crystal ball was full of surprises when the highlight of the season appeared. Teresa Hess and Dave Sin- cox, a duet acting team, advanced from the sectional to represent Byron in the state finals at Illinois State University, March 26 and 27 in a cutting from The Apple Tree . Nine other members accompanied them to cheer them on and to enjoy a delightful weekend. All in all, the Speech Club had a great year, one to remember. 37 GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION FRONT ROW L to R: Miss Pickworth, Advisor; L. Skaar, Pres.; D. Cacciatore, V. Pres.; D. McGhee, Sec.; L.

Mademoiselles of muscle, better known as G.A.A. members, participated in a wide range of sports activities this year. Besides supplying fun and companionship for the girls, G.A.A. instilled the idea of good sportsmanship among its members. Although palm-reading wasn't one of the planned activities, the club's sports chart was filled with nights of swimming, bowling, volleyball, and archery. Some of the big events were a picnic outing and a hike at the Pines in the fall, a slumber party in the winter, a roller-skating night, and a trip to the acrobatic circus at Illinois State University in Normal. The feminine sportsters worked toward the goal of achieving awards, while they enjoyed healthy, competitive sports with their friends. 38 GYM LEADERS CLUB FRONT ROW L to R: J. Aliprandini, T.

What's been cooking in F.H.A. this year? One of the first events was the Fall Rally in September at Northern Illinois University, where the Byron girls did a Wizard of Oz skit. Other events on the moonscope agenda were Sadie Hawkin's Day dance in November, Tag Day, Stanley Products sale to raise money, a heavenly slumber party in the home of Mrs. Oleson, the advisor, and election of new officers in May. A speaker, who demonstrated cooking--including free samples--was also a source of entertainment. F.H.A. week, March 29 to April 2, found the girls involved in many activities. Big sisters took freshie sisters under their wings, a dress-down day occurred, and a king hairy-leg contest was held. Mike Farris took the honors as the king. All in all, the homemakers of tomorrow enjoyed a year packed with fun. 40 FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA FRONT ROW L to R: M. Hagemann, Pres.; M. Seabold, Vice-Pres.; S. Smith, Sweetheart; R.

With the help of their advisor, Mrs. Jarrett, the student body has made pep club a working organization to back the teams. Now in its second year, the club has again brought the school commendation for good sportsmanship. Although the cheering stu- dents couldn't predict the outcome of each game, they encouraged school spirit and helped put steam behind our Fightin' Tigers. Black hats and orange and black pompons were an addition to the club this year, signifying students' membership and adding color to the cheering section. The peppy cheerleaders led the excited students in victorious cheers at each game. 42 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY FRONT ROW L to R: Mrs. Merson, Advisor; J. Eickman, Pres.; B. Haye, Vice-Pres.; L.

The Frosh-Soph team was successful this season in winning the Route 72 champion- ship with a 6--1 conference record. The team had an unusual season by playing ten games instead of the usual eight. The ad- ditional games came about by the con- ference ruling that all Frosh-Soph teams must play as many games as the varsity teams play. Playing three rough non-conference games, the Cubs beat Polo and lost to Jef- ferson and Genoa-Kingston. The team has been graced with size and looks very promising in the future.

They seldom were at full strength during the season but ended with a 5--2--1 record and a 5--1--1 conference record to finish second in the conference. Three Byron gridders were selected to the all-conference squad--seniors Mike Seabold, Dick Haye, and Scott Jeffrey. Tom Gobin and Dan Hoffman received honorable mention. The team elected Dick Haye and Scott Jef- frey as co-captains and Scott Jeffrey as most valuable player. Bob Haye was selected the most improved player of the season.

The last team was in 1967. Mr. Parks and Mr. Hoffmeister co-coached the team this year; and things look bright in the future with some experienced underclassmen moving up to the varsity level. Varsity runners this year were Bob Haye, Kurt Lukan, and Gary Wagner. Bob finished strong this past season by captur- ing third in the Conference meet. Underclass runners were Dave Weber, Ed. Tinsley, John Hoffman, Gary Anspach, Brad Lucas, Dennis Schneider, Jim Horrell, Kent Parks, and Ron Toops. Kent Parks won the Conference meet, and the team finished with second team place.

Many close games and crucial contests high-lighted the season, with Byron emerging the Conference champions. It didn't start that way; the Tigers lost their first Conference game to Pecatonica by two points. But, from there on out, they never lost another Conference game and finished with a 13 — 1 record. Mr. Don Drake piloted the Byron team to a very respectable 17--5 record in his first year as head coach. Many individual honors were received by the team members. Scott Jeffrey was selected most valuable player and captain by his teammates. He received honorable mention by the Associated Press on its State All-Star team; and both he and Rick Weber were voted members of the All-Conference first team by the Conference coaches. Bob Haye was voted to the second team; and Dick Haye received honorable mention. Bob Haye also won Byron's free-throw award with a .722 percentage.

School spirit days, including orange and black day, and poster day, preceded the weekend activities. Thursday evening's snake dance weaved through Byron's streets, ending at the football field with an invigorating pep rally. Under the starlit night, the queen and her court were an- nounced, and the burning of the enormous pile of wood, gathered by the seniors, followed. Friday afternoon a parade of class floats pre- dicted the future defeat of the Milledgeville missiles. That night they were defeated by the mighty Tigers by the spectacular score of 14 to 0. The Sophomore float was declared winner; Seniors were awarded second place. Freshmen re- ceived third and Juniors fourth. Saturday night the Homecomers danced in a colorfully decorated gym. Queen Stephanie Smith and King Steve Walters were crowned later that evening, ending another Homecoming celebration.

HOMECOMING . . . Smile Kim! What is it, Tom? One-Two--Kick! THE SILVER WHISTLE Horoscopes wouldn't be available without astrologers, and neither would any year be complete without the Senior play. The Silver Whistle, a three- act comedy presented by the class of '71, played to capacity audiences on the nights of November 13 and 14. An old folk's home was the setting, and a newcomer, who was an impostor, delighted the audience with his antics involving the old people. Oliver Er- wenter, the impostor, captured the old people's hearts and brought joy and youth back to them on a note of a silver whistle. The entire cast and crew enjoyed putting on the play, despite the hard work and long hours spent. Much of the play's success can be attributed to Miss Kathy McLennan, the director. Tired, Ernie? Don't call me an old hag! Omar, attend! The Director? It's a deal You mean pickled ice cream is really on the market? Hi Ya! Karate Chop We're in for a wild night CHRISTMAS Abe never looked better! Compliments of the library club It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! The coming of Christ was predicted for many years before his birth, and then, finally, he arrived bringing Christmas celebrations into existence. Many of the clubs' activities were forebodings of the upcoming Christmas season. French Club held a supper, while both Student Council and Library Club decorated trees to adorn the school. The F.T.A. invited a guest speaker for its pre-holiday meeting, and the Future Homemakers sang carols around town. Under the direction of Mr. David Johnson, the band and chorus gave a splendid concert to put the Christmas spirit into everyone's hearts. 62 SPEECH-IN ACTION We just love these early morning hours! May I make this perfectly clear On to Olympics? Touche' ALL-STAR WRESTLING The P.E. intramural wrestling program was brought to a close again by the always exciting tournament. The excellent officiating was supplied by the ever-popular P.E. instructor, consisted of run-offs in the individual P.E. classes with seven weight ranges. The winners were: under 100, Phil Best; 101--115, Dave Mills; 116--130, Dale Mc- Alonan; 131--145, Dick Haye; 146--160, Dave Carey; 161--175, Tom Gobin; 175 and over, Ron Ashelford. The Thrill of Victory The Agony of Defeat IT'S THE MORNING King Kim 66 OF YOUR LIFE Rainbows of streamers hung gaily from the ceiling, as the sun rose on the blue sky, setting the stage fot the May Fete on May 15. With It's the Morning of Your Life for the theme, the gym was decorated as far out as the stars. A rock garden, complete with blossoming flowers, a sand castle, a fountain, and trees abeam with paper flowers stood at one end of the gym, while the other end featured the throne for the May Fete Royalty. Mistress of Ceremonies, Sara Hamer, introduced the couples taking part in the Grand March. Introduction of the court followed with Laura Skaar and Steve Walters as fourth attendants, Vickie Case and Mike Farris as third attendants, Laurie Landis and Scott Jeffrey second attendants, and Pam Huls and Scott Hendee first attendants. The climax arrived when Kim Gouker and Stephanie Smith were crowned King and Queen. To pay tribute to King Kim and Queen Stephanie and the Court, Mr. Bauman sang Under the Sweet- heart Tree. The traditional Maypole dance was performed by the Junior girls. Following the Grand March, the couples danced in the radiating soft light to music of the Gary Boyd Quartet. The Post-Prom party at the Sportsmanship Club finished off the night, with the White-Rock Band supplying the entertainment. Queen Stephanie 67 COMMENCEMENT Now masters of their destinies, graduation day came for the seniors May 28, 1971.
