School Bowwb Wofdas Dig with Q ' This year the school board was again faced with a tremendous financial problem, Following the advice of board President Robert Brinkmeyer and Superintendent of Schools Gene Mason, the school board attempted to pass a tax referendum to keep the schools from closing. The board also employed the Title 6 program in the Cairo Public Schools, This program is designed to help teachers recognize stu- dents having deficiencies in reading or other scholastic areas or speech defects, Its aim is to aid teachers in helping these students, Even though the referendum failed, the schools were able to re- main open, and the Title 6 successfully got its start - all through the tireless effort of the School Board and Superintendent, QclwoEBowwLMwbw I2.obmb9wAkmegefv l2.obwd:O0wJw Tlwmasvawdmw QtmwCUiMofwL Caluiwwatsow MQJQWRAW D0'tH10fUVO'vd1iMgf0w MR. R. LEO VERBLE - Principal. Dean of Students. . . . Mrs. Helen Adams - former Dean of Students. Mr. R. Leo Verble, principal, assisted by Mrs. Inez Donnigan, Dean of Students, strove daily toward making our school run more efficiently. Their many duties - maintaining modern classroom facilities, securing the proper text books, and lending a sympathetic ear to the problems of the students - kept them constantly on their toes. Another job of the Administration was listening to the problems of the students and teachers and appeasing their many difficulties. One of the main jobs of the Administration this year was keeping the quality of the education at Cairo High School at the high level that has existed for so many years. They were faced with many problems - financing the school system, keeping students and teachers satisfied, and many other difficulties - that the Administration met with their usual calm, and consistently carrying through with their goals for the 1971-72 school year.

Their patience kindness, intelligence, and tact largely contributed to the success of the 1971-1972 school year. The scheduling of classes at Cairo High this year was different from the previous six classes a day. This year's student had seven classes a day, which was mainly the job of Mrs. Betty Sistler, Cl-lS's counselor. Mrs. Sistler and the secretaries worked for a united goal this summer to place the student in his proper perspective. Office Workers - Kneeling - C. Vasser, C. Brown. Back Row - G. Wig- gins, C.

Freshmen relax while waiting for the bell, Study, study, study is the motto of the sophomore class. hours as the working editor of the Pilot Light. Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, and Hamlet were spotlighted by the freshman, sophomore, and senior classes, respectively. Mr, Shakespeare would have enjoyed the short classroom sketches df his famous dramas. Meanwhile, the junior class delved into the mysteries of the short story by doing aresearch paper on the subject, The Journalism class went all out to make the Pilot Light the coolest school paper ever! Editorially, topically, and pictorially, each succeeding issue reflected this effort and made all CHS students proud of their news media. P0014 The Math Department provided CHS students with its usual high quality teaching. The teachers of the Math Dept, were Mr, Kenneth Bell, Mr, Ronnie Newell, and Mr, Davis, Freshmen and sophomores took such classes as General Math, Algebra I and Geometry, Upperclassmen took Algebra II,Trig- onometryfAnalytica1 Geometry, and Calculus. This year at CHS the advanced classes had a larger group attending them than in previous years. A greater number of students each year are taking mathematics more seriously and are choosing their courses with deeper thinking, With excellent math instructors at Cairo High students who have the want and ability to conquer math will surely be prepared for future pro- blems. iw W-ff-ff 'A i Anybody for trigonometric functions? quips Bennett, T.

I know of no way of judging the future but by the past. This statement reflects the philos- ophy of the CHS History Department, Our History Department seeks to motivate each student to discover for himself the forces behind the great people and events of history, and to understand how these forces affect the present. This view of history predetermines that the courses offered to the students presents the subject as as1ow1y unfolding drama. These courses include World His- tory, Sociology, Consumer Education, American His- tory, U,S. Government, and Economics. The History Department is .under the guidance of Mr, McBride, Mr. Karcher, and Mr. Newell, .. . - , - ,.

Students can be well on their way towards a business career by the time they get through high school if they take the right courses. Typing students try for greater speed and knowledge of letter forms. Shorthand students learn how to take letters down quickly and correctly with the funny figures they use to represent words or let- ters. Business English students learn the 6 C's: courtesy, completeness, clearness, correctness, conciseness, and concreteness while also learning how to cut a 150 word letter down to 42 words and still keep the 6 C's in mind, A completely different aspect to bus- iness is Business Math, In this course learning of various business situations involving mathematics broadens the stu- dent's knowledge of clerical works. HovwEoQ Skills The Home Economics Department is popular with both the male and female students of CHS, Young women as well as young men learn new ideas in cooking, sewing, home management, and family living. HOME ECQMWCS First, the home economics students are taught ' the basics of nutrition and food preparation in their ,-N F, first year, After completion of this course, they 7 4 F have the option of taking Clothing Construction, 5,2 ?- Home Management, or Family Living, All O 1 In this day and age when the cost of living ,ff 5 , steadily rises, home economics is a very practical I ' ,574 I and useful course. The Home Economics Department ! ,I v V fn proved its usefulness to CHS in a variety of ways, f including repairing old, torn draperies and preparing refreshments for important events, Some students are reluctant to try new ideas in homemaking, To these students Mrs, Stanfill and Mrs, Anderson say, Try it, you'1l like it, ,M Home Ec students M. Sales, R. Davis, K. Wild, and F. Brazier carefully observe D. Brown's culinary skill Builds Houses Carpentry students, J. Roberson, D. Hart, K. Johnson, and D. King, finish up their project, N The result of many painstaking hours, Mr, Salmon's carpentry classes were kept busy throughout the year making their various samll projects, plus, building four miniature houses. The purpose of building these 118 scale replicas with windows and doors was to teach the young carpenters the basic fundamentals of carpentry, Plans are being made to build true size rooms and maybe a simple frame house in future years. R. Delarnett, W. Thompson, and T, Verble make use of OwT5wf To many of the returning French students, this year was not going to be easier than the previous one. Instead, a long and intensive review of the fundamentals of French grammar and syntax took the French ll class over three quarters of the year to complete, Nevertheless, beyond learning the placement of direct and indirect object pronouns, the formation of interrogative sentences, an introduction to many new words and expressions, and many other basics of the French language, there was still plenty of time for fun. Jokes and a few insults were constantly being thrown around during class which were sometimes preceded by an Il fait beau. To most of the French I students, this was their first experience in speaking a foreign language, of course, the ou , au , and eu sounds did at first seem a bit unusual, but by the end of the year they finally mastered these first principles, audio-Visual equipment, Greg lone wolf Hileman, 1971-72 's sole French III student, poses for a portrait in courage. P.E. I-low Big Y The boys' P.E. classes were amazed at the feats they accomplished this year on the rings, parallel bars, side horse, mats, and the trampoline, The more advanced students, with the aid of Coach Conroy and Mr, Rutledge, performed daring feats such as forward and backward flips on the trampoline and shoulder stands on the parallel bars, The boys' P,E, classes performed not only gymnastics but also played dodge ball, softball, and basketball, As for the girls' P,E, classes, they not only strengthened themselves physically, but also mental- ly.. During the P,E, classes the girls played basket- ball, volleyball, and as a treat for the second se- mester students, flying kites was arranged, The health classes were able to take a trip to Anna State Hospital for a tour of the building and its fa- cilities. Introduction to Health Careers under the direction of Mrs. Kay Johnson, was a new elective offered this year, Mrs, Johnson took her class on field trips to St, Mary's Hospital and the Shelter Care House in Cairo, Along with a trip to the Hearing and Speech Center at Anna State Hospital, they made a tour of the Marion Veterans' Hospital, Mrs, Johnson also had many guest speakers, including doctors, dentists, and speakers from the Tri-County Health Clinic, Members of the Boys' 3rd hour P,E, wait anxiously for a rebound, Coach Conroy instructs his 3rd hour P, E, class in the art of the jumping jack.

Wade, to explore and utilize the various facets of Audio- Visual media. Their study and application of the principles of effective bulletin board and mounting displaysg the production and use of slides, transparencies, motion pictures, and filmstripsg and of the programmed lesson and research techniques have had a revivifying effect upon both the students and the teachers of CHS . . e use ' XIFIQXETY TO Lcnnr-UNB it, o fx ' '. ,. ,M W x X X , l 'S 'f 23? . 3 W . ujavi,-,v w-, K nf -, .ggi C.

MIXED CHORUS WOMEN'S CHORUS P MEN'S CHORUS The Cairo High School chorus this year has been more thrilling than ever before. With Mrs. Joanne Dale as director, the chorus has succeeded in lots of adventures that they started, They made appearances at many different places to sing for the young and old. Along with their vocal talent, which they proved to have, they showed mannerly ways toward the people they approached. Afwwoda First Row: R. Hite, R. Clarke, C. Jackson, M. Chaney, L. Nelson , A.

Several classes under the direction of first-year teacher, Mrs. Jacky Moore, and second-year faculty member, Mr. Walter Maedecker, really got things together this year by experimenting with the various facets of education. Included in their list of many projects was a paper mache art show and display for the administration and student body . Indeed, it was a worthy experiment in the future of education . .

Woods twang- A new group of possible teachers, a new co-sponsor, and a new spirit marked the beginning of FTA activities during 1971-72. Under the supervision of Mrs. Ola Grigsby and Mr. Kenneth Hill, FTA reached a level of excellence. When FTA members brought toys to the children in St. Mary's Pediatric Ward, it not only made several children happy, but it also demonstrated the concern that CHS students have for others. Films on today's educational systems were shown throughout the year to help members understand the various aspects of teaching. This information would aid them greatly in their student teaching. To conclude the school term FTA had its annual student teaching. This year, however, proved to be quite different to that of preceding years. To help the members in teaching, a day of observing classes was set aside. Then, instead of teaching one day, the student teachers were allowed to teach the 'class for three days. 1971-72 was a very successful and helpful year not only for FTA members, but also for many other people.

During the course of the year, the relatively new Guidance Council worked hard to unite the students in spirit and to represent the students and their opinions to the Administration. Among their major projects for the school year was the sale of school spirit buttons which expressed the pride and honor every CHS stu- dent feels for his school. ln addition to these worthy efforts, the coun- cil kept up with its true job of representing the student body to the administration and supply- ing the administrators with student oriented information that made life easier and more convenient for the students. Through their efforts, they truly attempted to bring together not only the students, but the entire school community . 'wvidewi Fi A-in First Row: P. Jones, M. Henderson, P. Clancy, J. Irish, S.

In the early part of the year, Student Council members were kept busy performing the various duties of the group. The assignment of assembly seats, the manning of home basketball game refreshment stands, and the staging of the annual Christmas Door Decorating contest were but a few of these duties. The Council did not stop here, though, for in its at- tempt to take a greater role in student activities, new activities were scheduled. In February a concert was given featuring the Soul Phonics and a vote was taken on the Illinois State tree. In April Activity Week was held and the student rule portfolio, to be issued the following September, was completed. ln May an ice cream social was planned. 1971-'72 must be considered a great year for the Student Council. The brass section of the Soul Phonics consisting ofB. Garrett, G. Pang, and M. Phason do their thing at their concert held in the auditorium in February . j-1 D.

After getting organized in October, the staff started to suggest ways of producing the money necessary for publication. Selling packages of student portraits and soliciting adver- tisements from local merchants were two projects that al- leviated some of the staff's financial worries. However, the staff soon found that work need not be boring to be fruitful. Five creative staff members wrote and produced an original skit entitled Captain Egypti which was presented to the student body to boost the sales of yearbooks. As the skit was presented, it seemed as though Cupid waited in the wings of the stage for the staff's annual carnation sale. This year the staff set 1000 as its goal for carnations sold. But with the last delivery, it was found that the staff not only reached its goal - but passed it with the final figure standing at 1290 . With our financial problems behind us, the staff com- pletely reorganized its approach to complete the EGYPTI.

Cairo High 's student paper, The PILOT LIGHT, contri- buted throughout the year to the unity of the school and made several attempts to unite the community on school- related matters. In its second year of revival, the PILOT LIGHT was boosted to a bi-monthly publication instead of the monthly editions of the previous year. Its staff, after gaining valuable journalistic knowledge, became more ambitious and produced several format changes to find just the right one that would please their subscribers the most. Through its constant coverage of sports, school clubs and organizations, and student events, the PILOT LIGHT became an integral part of school life during 1971-72, and thus became another bondin the unity of the students and a link to what the future holds for those involved.

This was the main project of the club, whose purpose is to promote a general interest in the field of science by creating a better understanding of the concepts and mechanics of science. A change occurred in the system of government of the club this year. Instead of club officers, the club was run by a five-man executive council con- sisting of the formerly elected officers. Instead of a president, this council had a presiding chairman. Executive duties were distributed between mem- bers, thus taking the load off one person. Proving to be a very effective, this system may be adopted by other clubs. liisll iii!! '-'L. First Row: C. Brown, M. Griffith, F. Newell. Second Row: B. Dean, B. Swoboda, V. Simp- son, A.

The main project of the club this year was their annual trip to St. Louis. While there, they visited the Mercury Auto Assembly plant and the St. Louis Shipbuilding yard.

As in the past forty induction ceremonies, this year - was by far - the most dignified and impressive. Chapter sponsor, Mrs. Brooks Long, presented the inductees to the previously elected members who repeated the chapter's ideals and stated the honors that come with being a National Honor Society member, As the highest recognition that can be bestowed upon a Cairo High scholar for his service, character, and leadership, membership to the National Honor Society was limited to only five per cent of the Junior Class and ten percent of the Senior Class, These juniors and seniors must have maintained an over-all average of 90 or above to be eligible for receiving this honor from the faculty and administration.

This year's young Pilots proved that they are more than ready for this step. Under Coach Bob Conroy these young men completed a 14-0 record which is hard to do on any level of athletic competition. The record itself shows a combination of teamwork, hustle, and good sound leader- ship from the players on the floor as well from the coaches. Statistically, the Pilots were equally amazing as their record. Averaging just over 67 points a game they held their op- ponents to 44 points a game, holding one team to just 25 points for the entire game. Pilot fans next season really have some- thing to look forward to. Pilot J.V.'s G. Thomas and D. Franklin dominate the action. 1972 Baseball Pilots - lst Row: C. Coleman, Hileman, G. Box, T.

Although April showers may bring May flowers, they have a disasterous effect on baseball games and the Pilots were rained out of numerous games early in the season. On top of this the coach, Gary Chandler, was faced with the frustration of losing five of the six games by only one run. However, undaunted by these circumstances, the Pilots came back to defeat their arch-rivals, the Meridian Bobcats, to become . W Q.. the District Champs.

These five young ladies - Karen Vas ser, Belinda Keith, Lisa Worthington, Phynelopha Osborne and Joyce Anderson - consis- tently represented the school, the student body and the team in the best of fashions. Although fewer people show as much interest in the JV team as in the Varsity team, the JV cheering squad worked hard and long to learn new cheers to boost our team on to their victories. Pwwb Vwwtfg Qquadf Varsity Cheerleaders in formation. Kneeling - M. Henderson. Standing - J. Irish and D. Dickerson. On shoulders - P. Clancy and G. Pang This year's varsity squad not only cheered the football and basketball teams to victory, they also represented Cairo High with such pride and sportsmanship that they won the friendship and respect of every town they vis- ited. These dedicated females practiced long hours on new formations and cheers to present their squad, team, and school as one in a united body. School spirit was brought to its height as a result of the pride and spirit radiated from each squad member. It was this spirit that attracted crowds to cheer the Pilots to victory. Even though victory with the highest number of points made was not always accomplished, the varsity cheerleaders were always victors in the eyes of the students and teachers. These females, along with their sponsor, Miss Carole Upshaw, attended not only every game as faithful fans, but as true, blue CAIRO PILOTS. Time out for the PROUD PILOTS' cheerleaders at Cannon Park.

Most notable was the strong bond of friendship felt between the seniors. For only four years ago tension, mis- understanding, fear, and ignorance had prevailed in the halls of CHS which resulted in the loss of many students. But for all those who stuck it out and earnestly tried to get along, the re- ward has been a group of seniors who feel they are 'really to- gether. These seniors have grown to understand, respect, and learn from one another. This togethemess led to a number of different activities such as the Junior-Senior Prom, which was met by much enthusiasm and in turn was a huge success. Various trips were planned and carried out such as the project called Government in Action whereby 36 seniors and sponsors visited the state capitol, Lincoln's tomb, museusm, and other sights at Springfield, Illinois: and also the trip to Six Flags Over Mid-America which was undescribably enjoyable. ln addition, other trips were take to visit several colleges. After such a busy, exciting, but sometimes Hectic school X rr 5 K 4 - , i n 'Just Sit Therel' year, the seniors were happy to be leaving and going on to bigg- er and better things. Hopefully, they will take with them and will use all they have learned. In conclusion, the seniors only hope that future graduating classes have as much success in gett- ing it all together while being as proud of Cairo High School a they have been this year.

They lead the school on the Honor Roll and elected some of their members to the National Honor Society. The energetic juniors took part in the many projects to help raise money for the Junior- Senior Prom, washing cars, bake sells, record and cake raffles are but a few of the money raising projects put into operation. Nearing the completion of their high school careers, juniors were forced to seriously con- sider post high school plans. College bound juniors took standardized examinations such as the NMSQTXPSAT and ACT. The juniors are now three-fourths of the way through school and are looking forward to the coveted title of SENlOR. M A ff' 1 , , Who said things improve with age? Left to right: J. Roberson, H.

Cairo High's Sophomore Class of 1971-72 was a mixture of pep and school spirit, pride in scholastic accomplishments, and activity in all school sports. Extracurricular activities attracted the willing sophomores - sports, Pilot Light, Pep Club, and a few found themselves on the Egypti Staff. Most sophomore students took a full schedule of academic subjects, applying themselves to school work as enthusiastically and successfully as they did to their extracurricular activi- ties. Sophomores ranked on the Honor Roll and The High Honor Roll. Now that their green years are behind them, the eager sophs are proud to join the ranks of upper classmen. s 'I' t Nil to U g...- R SUPERB SOPHOMORES i ' Q' l rx . r ' M, ., n X i I Q 1, u r ,.

With these assets the class of '75 began its high school career in August, l97lg the freshmen rambled through the prescribed schedule of studies for the year, and emerged triumphant to begin their second year's work. Unabashed by many new faces, longer class periods, and confusing programs, the freshmen faced high school with confidence. The membership of many school organizations was supplemented as these freshmen plunged into the school's social whirlg impartially lending their time and talents in order to make almost any undertaking a success. The freshmen efficiently went about the business of choosing Student Council representatives and electing four of their members as cheerleaders. The coming year is one of the great prospects for this classg with the com- pletion ofthis year, everyone felt elated over the many things of real value learned, the numerous experiences gained. While the progress made in knowing and understanding each other is of inestimable value to all.
