Working a jigsaw puzzle can sometimes be quite a task. There are hundreds of pieces that some way or another are going to fit together for that perfect final pic- ture. In its simplest form, our lives are basically like this puzzle. We constantly are faced with puz- zling questions. Who am I? Where do I fit in? These are ques- tions asked by most high school students at some time or an- other. As freshmen, we receive our puzzle in its hundreds of pieces. Through each person’s own aca- demic, extracurricular, and so- cial growth, the puzzle pieces start to fit together. This past year, there were spe- cial opportunities for some in building the puzzle. In sports, our soccer team were conference champions, while in the organiza- tions area a drug awareness group, called KOPE, was formed. Back in the classroom, a new word processing class was added to the curriculum in a race to keep up with technology. Through participation in some of these activities, a student makes the pieces start coming together. Pieces continue to go into place until finally the last piece fits on graduation night as the final picture of high school is completed.

CM TIMES Established 1983 Volume V The “land of the free and the home of the brave” has proved this year that it is not necessarily the home of the honest. Headlines of scandals involving some of the most respected and trusted individuals in the country splattered the covers of per- iodicals at an alarming rate. The fall of 1986 brought the Iran-Contra Controversy to the public’s attention. The scandal involved the diversion of profits from the sale of American arms to Iran to the hands of Nicaraguan contra-rebels on the other side of the world. President Rea- gan denied any knowledge related to the issue, and many top-ranking government officials suspiciously resigned before inves- tigations were made. The dilemma of whether or not the (J.S. should support foreign peace-fighters was immediately raised. More importantly, though, Ameri- Scandals rock the CIS. cans became profoundly concerned with the integrity of the Reagan administra- tion’s top leaders. Another government-related scandal that surfaced in the spring of 1987 in- volved Gary Hart and his candidacy for the 1988 Presidential election. While taking a weekend off when his wife was out of town, Hart allegedly entertained a Miami actress. A Miami newspaper staked out his home, reported his interlude, and over- night he went from the Democratic front- runner to a political has-been. The event raised new questions as to the ethicality of media interference into a candidate’s pri- vate life. The showy world of TV evangelism also had its share of problems. First, faith heal- er Oral Roberts fasted in his Tulsa Prayer Tower saying that God would take his life if he could not accumulate $4.5 million for work by March 31. Some of his followers were scandalized by what they perceived as “spiritual blackmail.” Blackmail was also a major factor in the controversy in- volving Jim Bakker and the PTL. Bakker admitted to having sexual relations with a New York secretary and then paying her and her company for their secrecy. The furor of these scandals left doubts about the future of TV evangelism. Americans are a tolerant and indulgent people. Polls repeatedly show that Ameri- cans are willing to forgive and forget the faults of their leaders provided that they know the entire truth. Unfortunately, this year of scandals only supported the saying that the truth hurts.” Disaster strikes April 26, 1987, brought a catastrophic setback for proponents of the safety of nuclear power. The meltdown of the core of the nuclear reactor at Chernobyl brought disastrous effects to the inhabi- tants of the heart of the Soviet Union. Sev- eral hundred people reportedly died from radiation exposure, while hundreds of oth- ers are expected to show delayed effects of the radiation in the years to come. Soviet officials, wary of public disclo- sure, did not divulge the information about the meltdown until several days after the accident. The USSR was criticized by world leaders for the way the disaster was handled, and the safety of nuclear power was once again questioned. The first ever Easter egg contest was sponsored by the library this year. Prizes were given for the most original, prettiest, and funniest eggs.

Kidnap-murder of baby mystifies area The summer of 1986 brought the strange and tragic case of the kidnap-mur- der of a local infant and brought national attention to the tiny community of Brigh- ton. On June 17, a masked gunman alleg- edly burst into the home of Robert and Paula Sims, snatching their 13-day-old in- fant from her bassinet and racing off into the night. This began one of the most bi- zarre cases this area has ever seen. The body was found 150 feet from the Simses’ home exactly seven days after the mother had called the police. The father was at work at the time of the incident. All parties related to the case took a lie detec- tor test, and the Jersey County sheriff said that the couple failed theirs, despite their earlier statement to the contrary. No charges were ever filed in the case, which still remains as one of the most mys- tifying in years. Reportedly, the parents have since gone into seclusion, selling their house and leaving the area.

Eagtu folium tfyfej Fashion! “What will I wear?” “Does it match?” “Will anyone laught at me? “Are you sure it’s in style?” Fashion is a big part of life here, and it changes as every year passes. One used to be able to look around and see a rat tail or a new wave hair cut. This year one would probably see boys with hair cut short enough to stand up on top, and girls with a bob”, or their hair pulled back in a banana clip. During football season the “bald eagles” sported shaved heads and mohawks. Senior Kevin Kappler says, it was a lot of fun, but I don’t think I’d want to do it again. Each year new fads are created, and others are forgotten. A person will no long- er see an OP shirt or an Izod. He will more likely see a paisley shirt, a 10-button Out- back Red shirt, or a variety of Forenza clothing. He will also see oversized sweat- ers, shirts with weird designs and turtle- necks. A person will probably not see para- chute pants but will view Lee, Levi, Chic, and Guess jeans. He will see stirrup pants, leggings, and stone washed denims. Shoes are also a part of fashion. One will see guys in Air Jordan, Converse, or high top tennis shoes. Cowboy boots and boat shoes are also worn. Silver flats are popu- lar among the girls this year, as are boots, Reebok tennis shoes, and different colored flats. Shirts, pants, and shoes are all a part of fashion; accessories also play an important role. Add-a-bead necklaces and both gold and sterling silver chains are popular this year. Tri-gold jewelry was also another popular item. Swatch watches and yarn bracelets are seen around many wrists. Many girls add big earrings and brooches to complement their outfits. Stacy Wilcox Fashions Levi, Guess, and black denim were some of the “in” jeans to wear this year. This trio of senior students show popular hair styles: Craig Bost, hair which stands up on top and cut over the ear; Gabe Solomon, a banana clip; and Gina Kalika.a bob” hair cut all one length.

What exactly is ’slan- guage’? It is the language or infor- mal vocabulary particular to a cer- tain group, in this case CM stu- dents. Slang originates in the student body. Someone will say something and others will think it sounds awesome so they start saying it. Before long everyone is say- ing it, and no one knows who said it first. This years’ CM slanguage includes such phrases as Get a life! , I’m scared of you!”, and Oh sure! Many students also use the expressions “Chill Out!’’, Home- boy , Homegirl , and Buckethead.” Stacy Wilcox Help wanted: Taka Uti job and iove, (t Is the labor force ready for teenagers? C.M. students seem to think it is. Clubs and sports are not the only extracurri- cular activities anymore. Students still love to have fun, but a work before play attitude gives them money and the free- dom associated with a new income. Due to the increasing costs of having fun and the decreasing funds from the pockets of parents, many students feel that a job is necessary. Upperclassmen are also finding that owning a car can pose many financial problems. Others, however, just like to spend mon- ey. “Do you think that I can possibly get all the clothes I need on my parent’s budget? asks senior Monica Eaker. Although spending money is nice, a job is often a necessity for the future. With financial aid going down and the price of a college education going up, conscientious students are saving their hard-earned mon- ey. I want to go to college, so I need the money a job provides me. There's no other way around it, remarks junior Jeff Ed- miaston about his job at the Alton McDon- ald’s. Fast-food restaurants and department stores are the places most teenagers work. Still, there are a few unusual jobs that are held by students. Senior Lea Dreon works at a day care center which, she says, helps me since I want to be a teacher, and I will be able to say that I’ve worked with kids.” Despite the increasing number of stu- dents with jobs, the issue of whether or not students should have a job is still contro- versial. Because of the sometimes exces- sive demands of bosses, students often put their jobs ahead of their academics. Lower grades and tired students are often the re- sults. On the other hand, many students see their jobs as a way to adapt to the real world.” The pros and cons continue for- ever, and the decision is ultimately up to the individual. No matter which way a per- son views the issue, students in the work world has become a reality. Library workers volunteer their time to provide the school with a service. They are Jackie Dorris, Debra Johnson, Alike Lamere, Tammy Basden. Brian Hen- dricks. Stephanie Basden, Lonnie Sivia, and Michelle Coder. The workers are supervised by library secre- tary Becky Wrischnick and librarian Lucille Steven- son. Jobs Service Upon a visit to Target in Alton, it is hard to miss senior Dawn Howes working at the jewelry counter at the front of the store. Here, she shows a customer the latest styles of Jordachc watches. During her summer vacation, junior Ronna Schneider, along with some other students, helped special needs children at Simpson Center. Here, she pastes project together for a student. At her usual location during lunch hour, the D.E. store, senior Lori Hamby smiles to greet some ap- proaching customers. Lori is one in more than fifty students participating in the CM cooperative educa- tion program. Her job is to sell school supplies. PE uniforms, and workbooks to students. Keeping a watchful eye on the crowd at a basketball game are junior Brad Myers and senior Lonnie Sivia. The two have selected law enforcement as a career and are part of a junior police voluntary program, assisting the Bethalto Police Department in various ways.

The shrill tone of Civic Memorial’s con- temporary school bell sounds once again on a Friday’s 2:45 P.M. This signifies not only the end of another week, but an entrance into an- other frame of mind — another dimen- sion (yeah, that’s it) — a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mindless hysteria. This is a dimension where ways of having fun end only with the imagination. Next stop: The Weekend Zone . . . When the hallowed halls of Civic Me- morial fade into temporary oblivion, the thought of having two days off becomes a reality. Contrary to the beliefs of some teachers, there is a life outside of school. What do the students do in this environment? The answers to this are as different as the students themselves. We spend a lot of time practicing and working up new songs,” says Sen- ior Brian Neunaber about the C.M.- based rock band in which he plays the electric guitar. His band was one of many that played at teen dances at the Knights of Columbus hall in Bethalto. McDonald’s, the bowling alley, and the newly-built Taco Bell are always popu- lar hangouts for different groups of C.M. students. Beyond the cultural hubbub that is the metropolis of Bethalto, there are various other places to go on the week- ends. In the nearby and rapidly growing Beltline area, shopping and eating places abound. Across the river, St. Louis Centre and (Jnion Station are high- lights of action in the newly-renovated downtown area. Movies continue to be a popular weekend activity, especially for dating. The hot item this year seems to be watching the box office blockbusters through the tremendously popular VCR. “I can see the movies that I want at my convenience , and the weekends give me a chance to catch up on all my soaps that I have taped,” says Senior Missy Barker about one of her favorite activities. Whatever students choose to do with their weekends, it is generally agreed that they are a time to do what one pleases. For some, weekends are busy times of tight schedules and a rush of fun. Others may prefer just to relax and take it easy. One thing, however, is cer- tain: They are almost always too short. Brian Keefe Weekending All school and no weekend make senior Ryan Kutter a very tired boy. After a busy week at school, noth- ing is more refreshing than a good nap. Varsity athletic events have always been a popular way for C.M. students to show their enthusiasm and have fun on the weekends. In this scene, freshmen Beth Aljets, Pilar Gallardo. and Melissa Ralston show senior Eldon Schaaf their Eagle spirit at the O’Fallon game. “Cruising” is always on the minds of car owners Kevin Halemeyer and Dion Roe. Here they discuss their weekend plans, which include a visit to the locally famous Wood River “Strip.” Shopping is a favorite weekend activity for juniors Michelle Martin. Tracy Meunaber, Deanna Hodapp. and Sarah Miller. Here they model the most important ingredient in their summer wardrobes at Alton Square. Weekending Art projects range from the traditional pastel sketch- es and oil paintings to environmental sculpture and scratch-out posters. Below Calvin Hamby uses a sea- pel to get sharp edges on his clay designs. berate term papers In grade school spring brings out kites and flowers, but in high school spring means term paper time. Instead of en- joying the bright sunshine and warm breezes of April and May, many juniors and seniors are closeted in the library do- ing research to produce 7 to 10 pages of insight on their chosen topics. Although no one admits liking to write term papers, most students realize they are important. As Amy Stricklin says, “They’re a lot of trouble, but they teach you what to look for, and Cheryl Morgan points out, “It’s a great learning experience that uses each and every one of the Eng- lish skills I’ve learned.” Many students rate high school term pa- per assignments important preparation for college work. Fee Luu remarked, “It is real- ly time consuming, but it’ll prepare you for college writing.’’ Steve Burk says, It seems to me that other than being time-consum- ing and hard to actually get your thoughts down on paper, it does help in the long run as far as college is concerned.” Lea Dreon Mary Beth Cooper Students rate, Completing her homework in class, sophomore Mi- chelle Godar makes sure she’ll have time to attend the SAE meeting after school.

What do the students do during boring lectures? There are many answers to this question. Although Mr. George, a teach- er of both French and English says, Dur- ing a boring lecture, the students should listen more carefully and pay more atten- tion,” the students tend to disregard his advice. A survey was taken to see what stu- dents think about the subject. The top ten list of things to do during a boring lecture goes as follows: 1. Sleep- Pam Morrison 2. Write letters- Cindy Jackson 3. Daydream- Stacy Wilcox 4. Talk- Jeanne Davis 5. Draw pictures- Mic Napolitano 6. Put on make-up- Rhonda Lewis 7. Blow bubbles- Mike Rothe 8. Read books- Ann Harding 9. Pick lintballs off your sweater- Brooke Ruffner 10. Stare at members of the opposite sex- Andy Sticht If a person is ever in a boring lecture, he should keep these ten things in mind, and if he ever runs out of things to do, he should not hesitate to use his imagination, because there are hundreds of other things he could do. He could do anything from counting toenails to counting dots on the wall, but he could also take Mr. George’s advice and listen.

Typing, WUing, Printing, ealivo Bit by bit it’s all adding up. Another computer class was added this year called Word Processing. It consists of typing, revising, and printing letters, memos, and reports. In order to accomo- date extra computer classes, twelve new enhanced Apple lie computers and three Imagewriter printers were purchased. When asked what they thought of the new class, most students agreed that the class is fun. Said senior Julie Freiner, “I really like it because we learn more about com- puters. Tracey McGhee, a senior also, likes it but, It’s one of those classes you have to study to get an A. With everyth- ing turning to computers these days, word processing is an important skill to learn. These students, along with many others, believe this class will help then in college with term papers and reports. In fact, many juniors and seniors plan to use the word processor for their argumentative es- says in advanced English classes. Word processing has proven to be a worthwhile addition to the CM curriculum. As junior Lisa Lands sums it up, It’s a good idea to take it for the future.

Junior Crissy Tash takes a last look at her notes before taking a shot at the first test. Even though students say they remem- ber the big game and the time so-and- so did you-know-what to what’s-his- name as being the most important part of going to school, it is actually the knowl- edge passed from teacher to student that will ultimately have the greatest effect on the student’s life. When the college-bound student enters high school, he is expected to enter a de- manding curriculum that will eventually prepare him for the rigors of college life. College-bound students differ from other students in that they are not taught skills or trades that they can use immediately after graduation. Instead, they are taught concepts and principles, often seeming useless at the time of learning. On the contrary, the knowledge gained enables the student to be accepted and hopefully succeed in education after high school. Some of the first and most elementary skills taught to college-bound students in- clude typing, note-taking, and effective use of the library. These skills, although strik- ingly different from the complex theories taught in the school’s science and math- ematics programs, are necessary for suc- cess in any honors program. Although English is a required class, a student must be selected, as well as be willing to participate in the honors English program. Extensive drilling of grammar, the study of world literature, and the refin- ing of writing skills through numerous es- says and compositions separate the honors program from other English classes. Equally important in the college-bound curriculum is the mathematics program. From Algebra I to Analytic Geometry, the college-bound student is continually bom- barded with methods, theorems, and identi- ties. Although I can’t see the advantages of Analytic Geometry right now, I’m glad I will have the knowledge to draw upon in the future, said senior Beth Armstrong. The final piece of the college-bound puz- zle is the science program. The science classes here are even more effective in college preparation because of the modern laboratory facilities. Students especially seem to enjoy the dissections in Biology I and II, which include frogs, fetal pigs, and cats. The Chemistry II class spends nearly the entire second semester in the lab, which requires a considerable amount of out-of-class time. According to most stu- dents, however, Physics seems to be the toughest. Says junior Jeff Whaley, Phys- ics is okay if you are Einstein and com- pletely awake by second hour.” After 180 days of classes, school must be remembered for its academics, not just its activities. Whether it’s being “on task” with Atr. Considine or just playing the game” with Air. Johnson, memories are also made in the classroom. Still, it is the knowledge gained, not just the memories, that students carry with them. Brian Keefe Jason Devine Drill Team members have to carry extra responsibli- ties as well as school work. Here freshman Laura Smith must put away her thoughts of tonight’s per- formance and prepare for another literature quiz over Once and Future King. Economics is one important college-bound course that students choose to take at different times dur- ing high school. Senior Missy Adams rummages through her purse in search of yesterday’s notes. Academics ACTIVITIES What is our part? This is a question many students ask themselves when trying to get involved with special high school events. The first momentous occasion of the new school year is Homecoming — including a parade, a bonfire, the football game, and the Coronation. After the queen has been crowned and the Corona- tion pictures returned, students start gearing up for the holiday season. The Thanksgiving Assem- bly marks the first event when the Eagles have a chance to strut their stuff on stage. It is at this gathering that one illustrious instructor is distin- guished by the student body as Turkey-man.” The next celebrated gathering is the Christmas Assembly. On this occassion, CM is visited by Santa Claus, who hands out gifts to a select group of students. He also names the virtuous Miss Snowflake. After the winter break, students phys- ically return to the classroom, but thoughts leap forward to the planning of upcoming spring hap- penings. Participating in or watching sporting events is always popular with CM students; how- ever, the variety of spring athletics seems to at- tract larger numbers of participants and specta- tors. Juniors start plannng for the prom that they will be responsible for giving to the senior class. The girls pick out material and designs for dress- es, and the guys order tuxedos and flowers for this favorite occasion. The conclusion of prom signals the last major milestone before graduation. The time between prom and graduation passes quickly, especially for seniors. The explanation for this phenomena is the number of in-school activities, including twirp week, senior assemblies, and awards presenta- tions. Eagles fire up As the bonfire blazes, students look on and enjoy its warmth at the rally before the big game. The bonfire and homecoming game are just two of the activities that are enjoyed during homecoming week. The bonfire is a traditional event that is sponsored by the Student Council. The event was co organized by Jill Admire, Mi- chelle Barach, and Rhonda Martin. The cheerleaders performed favorite cheers with the crowd, including the popular class spirit yell. The drill team performed to the school song and the school fight song. In the class tugs-o-war, the seniors were victo- rious. This year's three-legged race ended in a tie between Darin Clark and Cary He- flin, and Jeff Whaley and Cary Corbin. The cheerleaders won the panty hose race. The evening concluded with the bonfire. “I thought the bonfire was fun but sad considering that it was my last one. I'll always remember the seniors winning the tug-o-war against the juniors, said senior Linette Ross. The Eagles were defeated in the Home- coming Game by the O’Fallon Panthers 21- 7. It was a shame that we lost, but the rest of the homecoming activites were a blast! said Junior Brad Brakhane. Terri Carr Receiving strategy for the defense from Coach Leroy Beck is senior guard Jimmy Dearduff. Homecoming Bonfire Game “The bonfire was exciting because it was my first year as a football cheerleader.” Gina Kalika After helping beat the junior class in the traditiona tug-of-war, senior varsity football players Cary Heflir and Jeff Pickering decide it’s time to take a rest. After the three-legged race, senior Missy Linton at- tempts to massage the cramps out of senior Missy Barker's sore foot. The twosome came in second in the event. During the halftime performance, junior Cindy Jack son. seniors Carie Myers and Heather Smith, and sophomore Missy Williams attempt to keep warm while waiting for their part in the show. Perfecting the panty hose race is senior Diana Earn- hart. Diana led the cheerleaders to victory. Carrying the ball for an Eagle touchdown is Senior Darrin Clark. Darrin scored the only touchdown for CM in the O’Fallon homecoming game. The classes of 1956. 1966. and 1976 attended. Homecoming Bonfire Game BuMing (took, tiding on CM, U touJing cmdg Make parade special This year’s annual Homecoming parade was a big success. It began at the school parking lot as a mass of floats, cars, and frantic people. Although lining everyone up (well over 300 people) is a rough job, juniors Michelle Martin and Tracy Neun- aber can assure that this is not all chairper- sons have to do. “Michelle and I ran around like crazy- ladies for three weeks beforehand, collect- ing fees and new entries every day,” said Tracy. The weather on the day of the parade was spectacular, and this made for high spirits. Before the parade started, Mr. Earn- hart, Mrs. Schreiber, and Mr. Wieseman judged all of the entered floats. The school spirit of the seniors showed in their first place float “Pound the Panthers.” Second place went to the French Club with “Pan- thers Can’t Dance to the Eagle Beat,” while third place went to the juniors for their float, “Eat ’Em Alive.” The proces- sion led its way through the heart of Beth- alto.

After the opening of the envelope, the MC finally dispelled the tension and announced the queen’s name. At the 1986 coronation, this ceremony topped off an evening of fun that provided the climax to homecoming weekend. “It was a great ending to a great weekend,” said Terry Harvill, senior. The coronation was held Saturday, October 18. Lisa Wegman, junior, said, “It was great to see everyone all dressed up. I really enjoyed dancing and partying! Indeed, everyone was spiffed up. The bulk of the evening was filled with dancing, snacking on punch and cook- ies, and socializing. The decorations at coronation were pastel- colored with streamers across the dance floor and in front of the locker alcoves. Decorating was done on Friday and all day Saturday by the senior class. “It was great to be a part of transforming the commons into a ballroom,” said Jason Devine, senior, on working into the wee hours to finish decorating. Clouds with each couple's names were hung around the commons, providing a unique souvenir for the event. The backdrop for the ceremo- ny, made by Beth Diepenbrock, Jill Dugger, and Marty St. Peters, was a mountain scene in an orange and red sunset. At 10:00, the crowning ceremony began. After Brian Hendricks and Missy Barker, Master and Mistress of ceremonies, assumed control, the court members were all intro- duced. The senior maids were introduced while Lea Dreon provided musical accompa- niment. Finally, as tension hit its crescendo, Brian Hendricks announced that the 1986 homecoming queen was Melinda Tieman. Everyone seemed to have a good time at the 1986 coronation. Junior Steve Burk said, “I’ve been to the coronation my freshman, sophomore, and junior years, and this was the best one yet!” Indeed, the coronation was in- teresting, and, most of all, fun!

Senior Craig Wilson decided not to be just another spectator this year. Craig is known throughout the school as a very talented dancer. This year, Craig joined the Modern Dance Club and helped to draw a large audience for the concert. “It was great having our first male dancer. Craig is really an outstanding dancer, said senior Gabe Solomon. Along with his dancing, Craig was also a big help to many people in choreographing. Craig hopes that he will encourage other guys to join Modern Dance in the future. Also unusual about Modern Dance in 1986, was a six-dance production of the Broadway musical Cats. It included ap- proximately thirteen dancers, dressed in full costume and make-up. “Doing Cats made this year extra special,” said Monica Eaker, who played Jennyanydots. Cats was choreographed by Mrs.Seely, and she was very pleased with the results. Some dances such as Janet Jackson’s “Control,” and “What Have You Done For Me Lately? choreographed by Teresa Ditt- mar and Jill Dugger included lip sync. Many found this an exciting way to make dances unique. . This year, the organization was made up of approximately forty members. These people choreographed and practiced their dances for two months, and then put on performances November 22 and 23. Work- ing long and hard to make their concert a success also drew the members closer to each other. “Everybody gets along with everybody else. You don’t have to worry about social status,” said first-year mem- ber Richelle McLaughlin.

This year, students par- ticipated in Pajama Day, Sweats Day, In- side-Out Day, Color Day, and Senior Appre- ciation Day. Color day was the most popu- lar. On Color Day, the students were en- couraged to wear a certain color that corre- sponded with their class. The seniors wore yellow; juniors, red; sophomores, blue; and freshmen, purple. The same week, Teacher Appreciation Week was celebrated. During this week, teachers were given apples and presented with a candy assortment from the princi- pal. “Teacher appreciation Week really made us teachers feel useful and appreci- ated, said Mr. Bland The parents even got involved in showing appreciation by serv- ing a salad luncheon. These activities, in addition to honors assemblies and prom, made a very busy spring for students. Brian Hendricks The coming of spring signified the com- ing of many events to the high school. When the flowers started to bloom, it was a sign to Mr. Jones that it was time for the annual Band Tour. This year, the group visited Livingston and Worden. Band mem- ber Elisa Moss said, “We had a great time touring this year. Although the schools were pretty small, the crowds were excel- lent.” Many of the other band and chorus members shared her feelings. Besides the band tour, members of band and chorus also had nice things to say about the Fine Arts Festival — an exhibi- tion of the fine arts programs in the dis- trict. One chorus member said, “The festi- val this year was almost perfect. We had a lot of good art work; the singing was beau- tiful. More people attended than I expect- ed.

Keefe has served as class president, National Honor Society president, and student coun- cil treasurer. He has participated in boys’ tennis and golf, also, and was a member of the Varsity Club. He was voted Most Likely to Succeed by his classmates and ranks first in the senior class. Kalika was voted Most Active by her classmates and rightly so. She has been a member of Student Council and Modern Dance throughout high school. In addition, she has been a cheerleader and a member of the drill team. An honor student, Gina is a member of National Honor Society. Senior friends Kellie Bolton and Dawn Jaco enjoy the last big social event of the school year.

This year’s foreign exchange students Ines Amorim, from Rio dc Janeiro. Brazil, and Af c Mapoletano. from Naples. Italy, are all decked out as they enjoy their first and last American prom. Prom Waiting to get his picture taken, senior Richard Ca- meron proves that even a busy editor can take time out to “put on the Ritz.” Keefe, Kalika reign over prom: “Sentimental Street’’ Suspense grew as the crowd eagerly awaited the announcement of the King and Queen of the 1987 prom. Tension mounted as the junior class officers announced the King’s and Queen’s activities. Finally, Bri- an Keefe and Gina Kalika were crowned. The ’87 prom was held on April 25, a pleasant spring evening. Guests at the prom were greeted by sophomore prom slaves clad in black muscle shirts, white shorts, and pink cummerbunds. As the couples entered the commons, they passed under a massive arch covered with grey, pink, and black balloons. After being escorted to their reserved seats, guests could enjoy conversation with friends, mu- sic of the band, or a picture line resembling that of the Screamin’ Eagle at Six Flags ... on opening day. Senior Jennifer Bowman said, “I was up- set because I missed the crowning while standing in line to get my picture taken.” The commons, which again served as the ballroom for the prom, was decorated with a new concept this year. Leafless trees containing lights encompassed the dance area. The ceiling boasted colored streamers and hanging stars, and students quickly snagged the souvenir balloons. “Decorating was a lot of hard work, but, considering our low budget, I thought ever- ything looked good,” commented junior Briena Neese. This year’s junior class was faced with a shortage of funds, but when it was all over, the class had stayed within its budget. The display windows in the commons con- tained various styles of clothing, signifying a department store window one would see on “Sentimental Street,” this year’s theme. The theme itself had an especially ap- propriate meaning to the seniors. Despite the night’s festivities and party atmo- sphere, a certain degree of sadness and sentimentality crept into the minds of those who realized that this was their last prom. “This was a very special night for me, but it's also kind of sad. This was one of the last times we can all get together and share the good times with each other,” said Prom Queen Gina Kalika about the evening. A kaleidoscope of laughter and tears was evident, as over three hundred stu- dents danced the night away in a magical whirlwind of happiness. The dance is now over, but the memories will never fade.

Not the Screaming Eagle, but still a popular ride at Six Flags, the carousel provides Joey Harris with some old-fashioned fun. Sitting by the fountain at Six Flags, senior Craig Wilson cools off while waiting for his friends to finish buying some souvenirs. Students travel to Egypt, Six Flags What started out in February as fifty concerned junior parents meeting to orga- nize an after prom turned into a extrava- gant party. Each year the junior parents throw a chemical-free celebration during the early hours Sunday morning. Junior parents supported the event by donating food and money. The parents began decorating for the event early in March, when the theme Temple of Golden Dreams was decided upon. With such a theme, decoration ideas were immense. The parents met weekly working on the decorations which consist- ed of a serpent, an aztec sun, waterfalls, palm trees, parrots, and lit-up trees. For souvenirs, juniors found their names writ- ten on temples, while the seniors had their names written on helmets. Senior Julie Stinson said, The decora- tions were good; I especially liked the ser- pent and the waterfall. I really felt like I was in an Egyptian temple. After-prom organizers said that nearly four hundred students attended this year’s party. The parents ended up spending about $2,000 on the event but felt it was worth it. The band this year was a St. Louis-based group called Static. They played favorites such as Twist and Shout, Mony, Mony,” and Working for the Weekend. Students crowded the dance floor for each set, singing and dancing the early morning hours away. Senior Brian Neunaber said, The band sounded great! They played some very popular groups such as Bon Jovi, IMXS, and Van Halen. Between music sets, door prizes were given away. Community support for the event was outstanding as there were a lot of door prizes ranging from clothes to free dinners at local restaurants. After the after prom, many students were still on the go to Six Flags. It was a hot, sunny day and many were refreshed when riding the log flume and Thunder River. Those who went were among the first to ride the new Rush Street Flyer. Junior Lisa Lands said, I didn’t like it as much as some of the other rides; it kind of made me sick. Those going did not let a matter like sleep affect their day. Senior Stephanie Grant said, It was great just getting to go and see students from our school every- where. It was an excellent day to go; there were hardly any lines at all for the rides! Most students say the junior-senior prom is an event one never forgets. Mow, it is easy to see that the post-prom events are just as memorable.

Where can an Auto Shack cap be found for 3 million dollars or a chicken dinner for $600,000? Try the after-graduation party, Jail Break ’87. The second annual event was planned by parents of the seniors. Meeting in March, plans were underway. Rexie Eaker was elected chairman of the event with Monica Eaker, Brian Keefe, and Melinda Tieman named as student chairmen. Local businesses, parents, and faculty donated over $4,000 to the event to keep seniors off the roads during a peak party season. The celebration was held from 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. at the American Legion Hall. In attendance were 127 sen- iors. Those attending received a souvenir t- shirt designed by Marty St. Peters and $40,000 in play money. The money was adorned with pictures of Mr. Johnson, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Opp, and Mr. Considine. Once the money was passed out, students crowded the tables to play blackjack, chuck-a-luck, 7-card stud, and over and un- der. Lady luck turned $40,000 into several million for a few students. Others who did not enjoy gambling found the good com- pany, music, and food quite enjoyable. Names for the door prizes were drawn about 3 a.m. Some of the big winners were Michelle Dickerson, VCR; Julie Drake, mi- crowave oven; Ryan Kutter, portable re- frigerator; and Lee Hatton, waterbed. Chairman Rexie Eaker said, We were happy that this year every senior in atten- dance got a door prize. The evening died down following the auction of prizes by Homer Henke. Here the big gamblers got to shop around. One of the richest seniors, Mike Rothe, spent over six million dollars. He said, I made a few good bets in blackjack that paid off big. He bought a tote bag for $600,000, five personal pizzas for $300,000, a chick- en dinner for $600,000, and a Honda jacket for $600,000 just to name a few. Seniors reminisced, watching VCR tapes of football games, basketball games, after proms, and the evening’s graduation cere- monies. Even at 6:00 in the morning, the night was still young to some as they headed out for breakfast, still trying to keep the golden years alive. Richard Cameron SPORTS CIVIC MEMORIAL e VARSITY ? BASKETBALL Athletes find the winning edge in a number of ways. Experienced coaches like Coach Beck, Coach Middleton, and Coach Dyer teach the fundamentals of their particular sport to provide the athletes with a good foundation to build their skills. From there, the coaches use experience and insight to motivate and provide their teams with the winning edge by teaching teamwork, responsibility, and how to get along Facilities, such as the weight room and the batting cage, also help teams find the winning edge. Athletes use strengthening programs to benefit from the weight room to build stronger muscles. Baseball and softball teams benefit from the batting cage where athletes can hit at almost any time of the day just by dropping a ball in an automatic pitching machine. All this, plus heart, desire, and a winning attitude give CM athletes the After cathing a pass, freshman Wesley Whorl takes a hard knock from middle linebacker Jim Williams and is forced down after a short gain.

If they keep working in the off- season, they will be a team to contend with when they are seniors.” Both the players and Coach Bradley agree that the team needs to improve on its offense in order to have a contending team. Sophomore Derek Grable said, I feel that our main strength this year was our de- fense. We took a lot of pride in holding the good offensive teams scoreless.” Although the freshman team had a losing record, their sea- son should not be considered a failure. Coaches Gary McMillen and Roger Chamberlain said, “We are happy with the players who stuck it out the whole season and didn’t quit. All of the play- ers got a lot of playing time, and they all gained experience for their future years as football players.” The players agree that they learned a lot during the season, and they look forward to im- proving themselves next year.

Frosh-Soph Football Varsity football: Bald and Beautiful When this year’s football team took the field for the sea- son-opener against Triad, some of the Eagles were sporting new haircuts. The haircuts, however, were around long be- fore the season-opener. The crew cuts, shaved heads, and mohawks all appeared back in mid-August. Some said they did it to relieve the 100 degree temperatures of two-a-day prac- tices, which consisted of calis- thenics, offensive and defen- sive drills, practicing of plays, and wind sprints. Others said they did it because it looked cool. Whatever the reason, it sure did not hurt the team in their first game against Triad in which the football Eagles beat Triad 24-23 in an action-packed overtime victory. The Eagles then traveled to Wood River for their first con- ference game. CM scored early and often in the first half and went on to romp Wood River 34-12. After the team had to forfeit the game against Triad be- cause of an ineligible player, the Eagles played Jerseyville in the home-opener in what was expected to be an offensive showdown. The game, howev- Opponent Us Them Triad FORFEIT Wood River 34 12 Jerseyville 3 0 Highland 16 14 Roxana 6 26 Marquette 14 21 O’Fallon 7 21 Mascoutah 7 6 Staunton 14 0 WON 5 LOST 4 MVP Jeff Klaustermeier er, turned into a grudge match in which Darrin Clark kicked a last-second field goal to win the game. After a close win over Highland, the Eagles lost their next two games to arch-rivals Roxana and Marquette. The next game was home- coming weekend. Even though the Eagles lost against a tough O’Fallon team, the weekend was still a success with the an- nual homecoming day parade and coronation. Greg Gunder- son said, We played a tough team and gave it our best shot, so the fact that we lost didn’t affect the fun we had at the coronation.” Away games were fun for fans as spectator buses not only provided transportation to games but also a time for so- cializing and good times in gen- eral. Richard Cameron, a loyal rider of the spectator bus, said, It’s a lot of fun, and the cheer- leaders get everybody rowdy by cheering all the way to the game.” The Eagles went on to win their last two games against Mascoutah and Staunton and end the season on a high note as they raised their season re- cord above .500.

From Sis-Boom-Bah, Rah, Rah, Rah” to “Rock the House cheerleading has come a long way since its inception in the 1920’s, but it still requires the same dedication and hard work. Cheerleading is much more than just the glamour and ex- citement people see on the sidelines. Cheerleaders work extra hard in the fall with their secret pals. They make locker and wall posters, bake cookies, and buy lots of candy for them. These are the things that are really special but aren’t recog- nized. Senior Melinda Tieman says, ‘‘Cheerleading is really much like a sport but is not looked upon as one. We practice and workout just like other sports.” An important thing that must occur in a cheerleading squad is friendship. Like a foot- ball team, everyone has to work together, or it won’t be successful. Senior Stacy Wilcox says, “It really helps if a cheerleading squad can get along, because it makes things much easier and the squad much better.” On their own, the girls worked very hard on develop- ing and perfecting new cheers and stunts. Some of the squad’s newest cheers were “Kick It Out,” ‘‘Body Rock,” and “Jam.” Last summer the squad went to Greenville College for cheer- leading camp. They learned many new cheers, stunts, spir- it-raising ideas, and the funda- mentals of a good cheerleader. Senior Diana Earnhart says, Camp was very hard and tir- ing. Coming out of camp the girls had many cheers that were their favorites, such as “CMHS Do It,” Rock the House,” ‘‘Jam,” ‘‘The Bird,” and “Shout.” If they run out of these new cheers during a long game, they can always use the old cheer “Sis-Boom-Bah” again and bring back memories of the old timers.

I would also like to advise young players just starting to get serious about volleyball and do their best in every game as well as prac- tice,” said senior Linette Ross. The freshmen and sopho- mores were forced into impor- tant varsity roles early in the season. The usual junior varsi- ty positions were replaced with positions holding many more pressure situations and a lot Maturity by young players such as freshman Christy Connoyer was an im- portant factor in the varsity team’s play during the season. more responsibilities. ”1 wasn’t used to the pres- sure, but by the end of the year it was a lot of fun,” said fresh- man Christy Connoyer about her promotion to the varsity. Meanwhile, other freshmen such as Sue Bateman and Kristy Feazel led the junior var- sity team to a very successful year. Although the team lost a tough game to Wood River, knocking them out of regional competition, they were able to continue with volleyball in an- other way. Coach Dyer was able to arrange for the team to make a trip to watch the IHSA State Volleyball tournament. The coaches hoped that the trip was a learning experience for the girls.

Mew looks, new kicks, CM soccer ’86 Finds new home Anyone who is familiar with soccer in Bethalto knew that 1986 was going to be the year for success. These boys had played to- gether on select indoor and out- door teams since they started school. This year, the boys were seniors and juniors, and they knew this would be their last chance to play together and win. Soccer had never been a suc- cessful sport at CM. Coach Don Woelfel had never before coached a winning team. “We struggled for nine long years, and finally all our hard work paid off, said Coach Woelfel about his team’s suc- cessful year. The team found a new home this year. Their previous home, Rhine Field, was declared unfit to play on when the dirt brought in to improve the drain- age system contained glass and other foreign objects. The team members and their parents were wary about the move to Gordon Moore. They were afraid that there would be less support if the Eagles did not play at home. However, it was brought to their attention that Gordon Moore was in our school district, and other area teams also play their games away from home; the “orphan Eagles moved to Gordon Moore. The team flourished in their new home, bringing Bethalto its first MVC Championship in soccer. It was great to finally be able to have a winning season. The feeling was worth all the work we had to do, said senior Bill Wombles about the thrill of finally having a winning sea- son. Fans did follow the team to Gordon Moore. The bleachers filled game after game, espe- cially in the final game against Alton. “Along with just enjoying soccer, I also really liked watch- ing the number of fans grow as we kept winning, said junior Ronna Schneider. Even the picture on the team's schedule was unique this year, seniors Tom Adams, Ryan Kutter, Bill Striegel, John Wilson, and Bill Wombles rent- ed tuxedos and a limousine for the picture. The desire that the players had and the excitement that they generated sparked the entire school and made the students realize the excitement of Eagle Soccer '86. Michelle Dickerson Tuning up for the game is a minor part of the leadership that seniors Bill Wombles. Ryan Kutter. and Tom Adams provide for the conference champions.

Amy Harrop lifts Deanna Virgin to new heights. Soccer adds cheerleaders; Wrestling keeps tradition Two very active, not to men- tion loud, groups of girls at CM this year were the soccer and wrestling cheerleaders. The 1986 CM soccer season not only brought a winning team but also a brand new cheering section. The parents of the soc- cer players urged the school board to approve the idea of electing soccer cheerleaders. Judging from the number of girls who tried out, it was an idea whose time had come. The cheerleaders seemed to make a difference in the amount of en- thusiasm and in the number of spectators at the games. The girls had secret pals, made signs, and boosted the spirits of the players. “Soccer is fun to watch and even more fun to cheer for,” enthused Earleen Stutz. Wrestling cheerleaders were not new to CM this year, but their job was equally demand- ing. The squad consisted of two seniors, one junior and three sophomores. Freshman girls are not eligible for the squad. Senior Julie Freiner said, “We all got along and had a lot of fun.” Gina Kalika, also a senior cheerleader, said, “It was my first year to cheer and I loved it. Wrestling’s great!” These two groups of girls put their activity and loudness to good use in supporting the soccer players and wrestlers.

Cheerleaders- Wrestling When a wrestler has a strong base, breaking it is difficult. Here, junior Kevin Orr works on the arm of a Jerseyville wrestler at a home game. Any wrestler will argue that wrestling is the most physically demanding and competitive high school sport. Fasting for days, twenty minute runs, hav- ing to lose 5-6 pounds in one day — these wrestling activi- ties make playing man-to-man defense for an entire basketball game seem almost easy. This year’s group had two new coaches. Afr. Steve Brad- ley became head coach after being an assistant coach last year. Also, Mr. Clarkston, a wrestler just out of college, brought youth and his own knowledge of recent exper- Yew coaches help find winning edge iences to the team. The wrestling team has two good coaches. They work us hard, but the hard work pays off,” said senior Jim Dearduff. The coaches think just as highly of Jim. Coach Bradley said, “This was the most im- proved team from November to the end of season. Jim Dear- duff wrestled very well for us and ended his career with one hundred wins, being only the third wrestler to do that. Aaron Dugan said, We had a pretty steady team this year, but next year, conference is ours!” Michelle Dickerson Early in the match, keeping the opponent from getting a quick take down is important.

Freshman Basketball Soph cagers see improvement Over three months of hard practice — drills, scrimmaging, and running — this is what the basketball teams endured this year. This year’s sophomore team finished with an overall record of 6-7. They sported a 4- 2 record after their first six games, but after that start, they lost five out of their last seven games. Although the sec- ond half of the season wasn’t as successful, the team lost two of these games by only five points or less. The team’s de- fense was good; they averaged giving up 49 points a game. Their weakness was their offen- sive play. The Eagles had an average scoring of 48 points a game. CM was lead in scoring by sophomore Mike Wilson, who carried an impressive 17 point a game average. Mike said of the season, We have im- proved a lot since our freshman year, but there is still room for improvement.” Other players who headed the Eagles in this rebuilding season were Scott Smith, Derik Hoitmann, Scott Masterson, Calvin Hamby, and Brad Car mody. Scott Smith's opinion of this year’s season was, We did bet- ter this year. Near the end of the season, we started playing well together; we should have a good year next year.” The team experienced vast improvement from when they were freshmen; team work real- ly paid off for them.

This year’s basketball team recorded its second win- ning season in as many years after a drought in which CM basketball went 16 years with- out a record above .500. The basketball Eagles also won their regional for the second year in a row. A major factor in the success story for the Eagles this year was the outstanding play of senior forward Jamie Hum- phreys. Humphreys led the team in scoring with 21.2 points per game, was an all MVC first-team selection, and was named Mr. Basketball for the 1986-87 season. Hum- phreys also became only the fourth basketball player in CM history to win the Alton Ex- change Club Player of the Year Award. When asked about the award, Humphreys said, There was a lot of good com- petition for the award. I was hoping I’d get it, but I knew it would be tough.” He also ad- ded, It’s a big privilege to get an award like that. It has to be the biggest honor I’ve re- ceived.’’ Although the Eagles had a successful season, things start- ed slowly. The basketball Ea- gles dropped 4 out of their first 5 before beating Highland and Jerseyville. Things, however, started to pick up in the second half of the season with the addi- tion of 6’5” senior center Scott Neumann. Humphreys also played better in the second half of the season providing more scoring punch. The Eagles end- ed the regular season by win- ning 5 out of their last 7. In the Alton regional, CM walked all over Jerseyville in the first game as the Eagles outscored their opponent 63- 61. The Eagles faced Alton in a rematch from last year for the regional championship. In one of the most exciting games of the year, CM beat Alton 63 60 as Humphreys scored 30 points in a dazzling performance. Though CM went on to lose to a tough Belleville Althoff team in the Collinsville section- al, the players provided the fans with a memorable and ex- citing season which won’t soon be forgotten.

MVP Jamie Humphreys Basketball-Varsity Seniors dominate cheering squad Ask any of the varsity bas- ketball players what motivates them to give that extra effort when it’s needed, and chances are that the cheers of the crowd will be their first response. The job of keeping the fan enthusi- asm at a fever pitch falls to the cheeerleaders. Members of the cheerleading squad work very hard and put in many hours learning new cheers and per- fecting their routines. This year’s varsity basket- ball cheerleaders were unique in several ways. The squad was made up entirely of seniors. Two members of the squad, Missy Linton and Julie Drake, had the distinction of having been selected varsity football and basketball cheerleaders each year since they were freshmen. Monica Eaker, Gabe Solomon, Melinda Tieman, and Stacy Wilcox had also been cheerleaders since their fresh- man year. The cheerleaders all seem to agree that the most fun time to cheer is when there is a lot of enthusiasm in the crowd and that it is difficult when there is not. Missy Linton said, The re- gional championship game at Alton was awesome! There were a lot of people who cheered with us and the enthu- siasm of the crowd helped mo- tivate our team.” What does it take to be a cheerleader? A smile, enthusi- asm, coordination, rhythm, and a lot of school spirit,” suggests sponsor, Afrs. Eaker. Each sea- son cheerleaders are selected by their performance in tryouts. They are required to make up their own cheer, do two gymnastic stunts, two jumps, and the splits. Judges look for enthusiasm and the overall execution of each indi- vidual performance. After be- ing selected, the girls put in many hours practicing cheers and trying to build that school spirit that helps motivate the players. Andy Sticht Stacy Wilcox.

First winning season Breaking full court presses with skill- ful dribbling manuevers is one of ju- nior Tammy Baker's responsibilites as a point guard. A winning record, 14-6, was one of the many firsts” for the girls’ basketball team this year. After many years of losing sea- sons, all the struggles finally paid off. Six year coach Bob Dempsey was asked if he had expected such a dramatic im- provement over last year’s 8-15 record. “I knew that there had been a lot of improvement over the summer by some of the girls. I expected us to be better, but this year was even more excit- ing than I had imagined.” The team started the season with an undefeated 8-0 record. They were ranked as high as 12th in the state, beating such teams as Gillespie, Collinsville, and Southwestern for the first time in their history. My favorite moments were winning a game in the Carrol- ton Tournament and a regional game for the first time. I thought the team really played together well,” said junior cen- ter Jennifer Darter. Darter was mentioned by the Alton Jour- nal as being a Ms. Basketball candidate. Two other Eagles were also mentioned: juniors Janene Drake and Gina Rhodes. “I am glad that I finally got to be a part of a winning team; it made the season shorter and a lot more fun,” said Michelle Dickerson, the only senior starter. Second year junior var- sity coach Dennis Wilschetz helped the younger girls to their first winning season too. The varsity Eagles won a game in the regionals for the first time by beating rival Alton, who had decisively beaten the Eagles last year. Gaining confi- dence and believing in their abilities gave this team the best year in CM girls’ basketball his- tory.

Two other players that hit the ball well this spring were Mike Laughlin and Brian Loewen. “We hope to improve over our next few years,” says Brian Loewen.

With a lot of inex- perience at the varsity level, the baseball team managed to win just three games this year. Though the hitting was general- ly good, fielding deficiencies and a team E.R.A. of over 5.00 hurt the Eagles more often than not. The play was often inconsis- tent and victories scarce. A couple of things remained con- stant, however, and that was the good attitude and hustle. No matter how bleak things looked, the team came out everyday and gave everything it had whether it was practice or a game. Team dedication was also very evident as play- ers often stayed after to take extra hitting or fielding prac- tice. One example of the dedi- cation and eagerness to play was shown before the season opener. The night before the game was to be played, it rained hard. However, the team members got together and got up at 6:00 the next morning and worked on the field for six hours to get it into playing con- dition. Despite the hard work, the baseball Eagles went on to lose their season opener to Al- ton and the next nine games. The baseball team finally broke through with their first win against Mascoutah at home 6- 1, as Chad Thomason pitched a strong game. The Eagles entered the Mar- Ranging to his left, third baseman Kevin Kappler makes a bid to rob a Jersey ville batter from a single to left and a possible RBI. quette tournament with a 1-10 record and hoping to turn the season around. The Eagles played a tough game against a highly-rated Marquette team and led the game entering the seventh inning. However, the Eagles failed to hold the lead as Marquette scored five runs in the top half of the seventh and lost 12-8. However, despite the loss, the team bounced back the next day and took the first game of a doubleheader from North Greene 7-2 , as the Eagle bats came alive and Andy Sticht pitched a good game. Sticht said, “I thought we did really well against North Greene; we hit the ball well and made the plays on defense.” The Eagles lost the second game of the doubleheader to Alton 8-4 and finished tied for second in the tournament. The Eagles lost their next 3 games before facing Roxana. In the most exciting win of the sea- son, the Eagles took the lead in the early innings and held on in dramatic fashion to win 7-6, as Chad Thomason delivered clutch relief pitching. Though the Eagles failed to win any games the rest of the way, Bill Wombles put the sea- son into perspective when he said, As far as wins and losses go, our season was disappoint- ing; but we still went out and played hard everyday and had a lot fun.

Spring in Bethalto means warm weather and Eagle soft- ball. CM’s softball program has been successful in recent years, and this year was no ex- ception. The team was young, sporting only three seniors. Losing a pitcher and other in- field positions forced the coaches to move players around to find an working lin- eup. Freshmen Christy Con- noyer, Sue Bateman, Janell Hunt were given shots to prove themselves in the starting lin- eup. Several different teams took the field for the Eagles this year, and each one pro- vided excitement. The team fin- ished 19-7. For the sixth con- secutive year the team was picked as first seed in the Gran- ite City Regional, and for the sixth year in a row they won it. Two starters were awarded first team distinction in the con- ference: senior Julie Drake and sophomore Terri Hansel. Coach Dyer said, This team worked together better than any team I’ve coached. They did better than anyone expected.” Mi- chelle Dickerson The meeting on the mound before ev- ery inning is a time when the infielders group together to discuss strategies for upcoming batters, suggest defen- sive positioning, or just show some team spirit. Concentrating on her catcher’s glove positioning, ace pitcher Terri Hansel begins her wind-up in a game against Roxana. Terri maintained an earned run average of under 2.00. Softball One of the important jobs of a softball thirdbaseman is fielding bunts. Here, senior Julie Drake, a four-year letter winner and most valuable player, demon- strates her strong throwing arm as she guns a Wood River runner out at first base. She has been offered a scholarship to play third base at SKJE. Catching is one of. if not the most difficult position on the infield. Stopping stray pitches, throwing out runners, and controlling the infield are just some of the responsibilities of a catcher. Here, junior Tammy Baker rips off her mask and searches the sky to make the play on a foul pop-up. ‘‘Never let anything go by is a cardi- nal rule of good first basemen.

Fallon Overmeyer said, “The distance team will be pretty good next year if everyone keeps improving on his times.” He also added that this year’s team was good because of the hard work everyone put in dur- ing practices with Ms.Burnett, Coach Beck and Coach Asaro.

Kathy Myers said, This year we ran much better than we did last year, and we improved very much over the off-season. As the season went on, the team as a whole gained more confi- dence in themselves, started to break a lot of school records, and became more competitive with schools that had much tal- ent. At sectionals, the girls fin- ished strong in their respective heats. Girls’ track at CM is defi- nitely on the upswing.

The varsity team lost several valuable seniors from last year, so effort from the younger members was needed to learn fundamentals and fill the open varsity positions. Mr. Eckert, the new coach for the girls this year helped tremen- dously in this task. “A year of rebuilding pro- vided results that were surpris- ing, and things look even better for next year,’’ commented the proud coach. Off-season work in addition to practice during the season is important in a sport such as tennis. The work and dedica- tion involved are not easy, but the rewards make the work pay off. Fun also seems to be an essential ingredient. The work isn’t easy, but there’s always a little time to have fun. Mr. Eckert is always the first to goof off, said play- er Tracy Zumbaum.

This year’s squad received im- portant contributions from its senior members, as they pro- vided important leadership and team roles. Brian, Jason, and I worked hard all winter so we could compete with the better teams in the spring, remarked senior Steve Desse. The dedication and talent paid off, as every doubles team won in the first round of the conference tournament. The varsity team wasn’t the only group that achieved progress, though. Several first-year play- ers saw action on the junior var- sity team. Beginners in March, Coach Eckert impressed upon them the fundamentals and their importance for future suc- cess at the varsity level. I’ve learned a great deal since I began. The team was really united and Coach Eckert really knows what he’s doing, reflected first-year player Ed Solomon. Dedication and lots of fun made tennis a true love for its players.

He received class AA all-state honor- able mention, and played in the class AA all-star game held in Belleville on April. He scored 8 points in that game. He averaged 21 points here at CM. Jamie has been named MVP of the CM basketball team as well as the Alton Exchange Club. He will attend Belleville Area College on a full athletic schol- arship. WP Scfoitir MhfcV Voanl ■bbll. [Ht Sport Honors “Football is a lot like life; you take a many tough shots, but you have to get back up and keep going,” said Jeff Klaustermeier. Jeff did just that. He was one of this year's most outstanding football players. He received the award for the most defensive tack- les and was named defensive lineman of the week twice during this year’s season. Jeff received MVP awards from CM and the Alton Knights of Colum- bus. His biggest honor was being named Offensive Lineman of the Year. Jeff will attend MacMurray College in Jacksonville. Illinois. ORGANIZATIONS In the student’s search to find where he fits in, organizations can be very helpful. Participating in organizations gives a student a chance to explore various interests such as in health careers, to get to know people who share common interests such as in French Club, and to show talents such as in band and chorus. Whether a student joins just one club or many, he is adding to the completed puzzle of his life. Since CM offers a wide variety of special interest groups, every student searching for his place in the puzzle is likely to find one. Organizations are but one answer to the question, How can I get involved?” Ye vtbook, Journalism students. Front: Susie Gehrs. Melissa Fisher. Michelle Martin. Danielle Isom. Brooke Ruffner.

Accompanied by Mrs. Beck, seniors Richard Cameron and Mike Rothe attended Josten’s Yearbook Camp last June and came away with many new ideas to use on the yearbook. Among the innovations were more graphics such as ripped construction paper, pencil shading, and drop-in letters, spot color, and folio tabs (where the page numbers are printed). They also learned about the importance of fea- tures and quotes because, as Cameron said, pictures can't tell the whole story.” Computers were another change for the yearbook staff. Although learning to use the word processing program re- quired extra time and effort, Editor-in-Chief Cameron felt it was worth it. He commented, Micrographix makes the copy easier to edit and fit to the lay- out space exactly, and it auto- matically indexes the book, saving us from doing that by hand.” Another change many stu- dents will have noticed is a slightly later shipping date, en- abling the staff to include cov- erage of graduation and the after-graduation party.

One can almost always hear the band practic- ing hard 5th hour everyday, and even sometimes overtime, after school. Band is fun for most of the sixty-two band members because each member en- joys music, and enjoys playing music also, said Mr. Jones, the director of the band. I feel that band tour is one of the most fun and exciting things in band for me, said Melissa Boomershine who is a second- year band member who plays the drums. This year’s band tour was only one day long. The band and choruses performed at Livingston and Worden and enjoyed lunch at Litchfield. Even though band is fun, members real- ly have to work hard each day so the band sounds better each time it performs. Maintaining first chair is one of the har- dest things in the band for me,” said Amy Harrop. One can be assured that the band here will always play their hearts out, no matter if it’s just an assembly, a football game, or basketball game, because they enjoy what they're doing.

Cisler expands choruses, French Club breaks winning streak A standing ovation arose from the crowd at the Christ- mas concert as the chorus fin- ished singing “Hallelujah Cho- rus,” accompanied by a string quartet from Edwardsville. Rec- ognition like this was prevalent in the choral program this year. Gnder the new direction of Mrs. Marilyn Cisler, the chorus undertook the learning of many new songs to be performed at various times. The chorus members seemed to have ad- justed to their new director quite nicely. Junior Rhonda Martin said, “Although she can be tough sometimes in rehears- al, the results are worth it.” Senior Amy Stricklin, a third year chorus member, said of the year, “We did a lot more spirituals, which are harder to learn but sound good when ev- eryone learns her part. I’ll never forget doing “The Lark” at MVC concert because we had to sing in German.” The Mississippi Valley Con- cert was held in February at Lewis Clark College. Dr. Leonard Van Camp, a noted music professor at SIGE, di- rected the combined choruses from the conference. The group felt he gave them several important tips in performing. Another special performance was when swing choir sang the theme song “Heaven in Your Eyes” at coronation; in addi- tion, the swing choir did the theme from Cheers at the Thanksgiving Assembly. “Seeds Grow to Plants,” Rock-a My Soul,” and “Misty Morning” were other songs per- formed during the second se- mester for the spring concert and fine arts festival. Some felt that they gave their best performance on band tour to Worden and Livingston. On band tour, the swing choir did their “For Women Only” medley, and as always, they se- lected an unsuspecting, vulner- able guy from the audience to be cuddled. Gnfornately, at Worden they selected a guy whose girlfriend was more than a little jealous. Another active club is Mr. George's French Club. After four straight years of building the first-place float, the French Club had to settle for second place with the theme “Indians Can't Dance to Eagle Beat.” The French Club sold hot chocolate and donuts during football games to raise money which they are saving for a pro- ject next year.

National Honor Society Student Council Varsity Club The purchase of discount Six Flags tickets for prom weekend was a project undertaken by the Varsity Club this year. Taking advantage of their Varsity Club memberships, senior Greg Gunderson claims his tickets from jolly sponsor Air Eckert as Jeff Pickering records the sale. Students taste success Success: the thing for which everyone strives, but only a few can attain. It represents the pinnacle of human emotions — feelings of accomplishment, selfsatisfaction, and fulfill- ment, just to name a few. Still, success is not just a privilege or award; it is a responsibility. Regular attendance at meet- ings, participation in group ac- tivities and fund raisers, and setting a good example are all responsibilities of the success- ful people in National Honor So- ciety, Varsity Club, and Stu- dent Council. “Students who are asked to join National Honor Society dis- play character, leadership, scholarship, and service, said first-year sponsor Mrs. Whit- field about the qualities of the students in her organization. The group honors academic ex- cellence in a college-bound cur- riculum. Traditionally, the group is known for its monopo- ly of the sale of homecoming mums. This year’s mums dif- fered from those of other years in that they were long-stemmed and were carried instead of pinned. The society also amended the by-laws of the NHS constitution by raising the required grade-point average for entry from a 3.0 to a 3.25. Another new concept intro- duced this year was the combi- nation of the National Honor Society induction with the spring Honors Banquet, which may have set a precedent for future years. The Varsity Club, tycoons” of the school’s soda industry, consists of people who have achieved athletic success in varsity sports. I like Varsity Club because we work hard to earn our mon- ey, but we have fun with the money we make. It’s like a re- ward for our work,” remarked Linette Ross, senior secretary and active Varsity Club mem- ber. This year’s club helped to defray the cost of Six Flags tickets for its members by pur- ' chasing discount tickets. The tickets were used mainly on the Sunday of prom weekend. The Student Council has al- ways played an important role in the school, as its members show success as representa- tives and leaders. The group traditionally sponsors the Tur- keyman and Miss Snowflake awards as well as the home- coming bonfire and parade. At an early April Student Council meeting, juniors Rhonda Martin and Michelle Barach, along with freshmen Lisa Rawlings and Stacey Ban field, lis- ten intently as Twirp Week decisions arc made. Prior to the homecoming parade line- up, senior Richard Cameron, treasurer of the National Honor Society, eagerly waits for his brother's Camaro for the officers to ride on. This year’s members partici- pated in a Bowl-a-Thon for Cys- tic Fibrosis and competed with other schools in a canned food drive for the needy. People are working togeth- er and showing a lot of respon- sibility. This made this year’s group successful not only in our school but in the communi- ty,” said senior president Melin- da Tieman. Success is a goal common to almost everyone. For some it is a dream, and for others it is an obsession. Whatever the condi- tion, success is still achieved the old-fashioned way.

That’s why work pro- grams like Office Occupations (O.O.), Home Economics Relat- ed Occupations (H.E.R.O.), and Distributive Education (D.E.) are offered. These programs help students get their educa- tion and experience at the same time. Students go to school part of the day and work the other part, earning high school credit for the job as though it were a class. O.O. is for students who plan secretarial careers.

I love my job; the people I work with are really great.” H.E.R.O. is for students who are interested in work related to home economics. These stu- dents have jobs that range from McDonalds to The Bridal Suite at Alton Square. This year their advisor videotaped each mem- ber at work and showed it to the class.

Michelle Cameron DE OO HERO l-ftoftk Canmi Club CAB FUA SAE Health Careers FHA From Westport to Bethalto West — Clubs enjoy educational year For people who are planning for the future, there are career- oriented clubs which not only help students to explore var- ious occupations, but also give students opportunities to so- cialize and enjoy themselves in the process. Every year the members of Student Action for Education, or SAE, take a day off to go teach at Bethalto West grade school. Missy Martin says of SAE, It was very interesting and it gave me a real taste of what it would be like to be a grade school teacher. The club is geared towards anyone who is interested in the teach- ing field. The Health Careers Club held its annual blood drive on Febru- ary 10, from which over one hundred pints of blood were donated from students. Club members organized the event and helped the Red Cross bloodmobile crew of nurses. Gabe Solomon said of giving blood for the first time, It real- ly wasn’t as painful as I had imagined. Actually, it was no big deal. The Health Careers Club also had a Christmas par- ty this year at an area nursing home. Their cheese and sau- sage sales profits are awarded in a $500 scholarship for some- one studying in college or trade school for a health-related ca- reer. A field trip shopping spree to Westport Plaza and Casa Gallardo December 16 was one of the activities of FHA this year. The girls earned the trip by selling candy, a project ap- preciated by many other stu- dents who were only to willing to buy the candy bars. Despite losing one of their sponsors when Mrs. Orr moved to Kan- sas, the girls had an enjoyable year, according to freshman member Donna Barnes who said, I’m really glad I joined FHA.

FACULTY How can I help them find their places? It takes more than four years of college to make a good teacher; it takes patience, understanding, and being able to recognize and work with each individual student’s situation. The teachers here at school have always been known for their understanding of students and for always giving their time to help them through their problems. With this idea in mind, the school board approved a plan to help students with a variety of problems, ranging from drug-alcohol dependencies to behavioral-related problems, through the new STEP program. The new program instructs teachers to report unusual classroom behavior that detracts from the educational environment; the STEP team then confers with the stu- dent's other teachers and finally consults with the student in an effort to improve the situation. So, every day teachers are helping students find their respective places in the puzzle of life, whether it be in the STEP program, the classroom, or in athletics. The Bethalto Community School District 8’s Board of Education is comprised Tuesday of each month at the administrative offices and when other meetings of Donald Smith, Sharon Rothe, Ray Wesley.

Mr. Lewis Hauser pauses from his work a moment for a yearbook picture. Guiding the destiny of Civic Memorial is the responsibility of Principal Jerry McCann. Deans The Gnit 8 School Board, which is elected by the people of Bethalto, Cottage Hills, For- est Homes, and Meadowbrook, is made up of seven dedicated people. Although these people are dedicated, they are often forgotten and are not given the credit they deserve. The mem- bers of the board are not paid for the work they do; they vol- unteer their services. They es- tablish school policy, deter- mine the amount of taxes to be levied, and approve all employ- retire ments. Another group of dedicated leaders in the school district is the administrators. From the superintendent Lewis Hauser and his assistant Dale Dicker- son to the building principal Jerry McCann and his assis- tants Shelton Mayes and Mar- tha Swann, the high school is in capable hands. One of the inno- vations introduced by Mr. McCann this year was a series of workshops on Effective Schools attended by all district administrators and many teachers. In a surprise move. Assistant Principal Shelton Mayes an- nounced his retirement effec- tive March 3. He was replaced for the remainder of the year by Leroy Beck and Gary Wintjen. Mr. Mayes served the school district thirty-one years. When asked what he would miss, he answered simply, the great people. After thirty-five years in Gnit 8, Assistant Principal Martha Swann is also retiring. She said she would miss “the kids.” Among her memories of earlier days at CM are “working on the split shift. Some teachers would come in at 7:00 and be finished by 1:00. I also remem- ber having to teach high school PE for one-half day and the oth- er half teaching PE at the grade school.” Jeanne Davis Brian Hendricks Besides checking attendance and han- dling discipline problems. Mr. Mayes is in charge of textbooks. Here he calls McGraw-Hill to confirm an order. Though her title changed from Dean of Girls to Assistant Principal 2 years ago. Mrs. Swann found her duties still involved helping female students with their problems. Many girls found her to have a sympathetic car. SHidenU enjoy A teacher’s job is never done. Teachers usually have more tasks than hours in a day. To combat this problem of too much work and too little time, teachers often draft students who will do any- thing to get out of study hall. This technique has really become pop- ular, and now even the guidance office and the main office, as well as the P.E. department have com- mandeered a few slumbering study hall students. One of the faculty “slaves,” senior Greg Gunderson, said, Running errands and helping out in the P.E. office sure beats hav- ing class.” “Working for Mrs. Whitfield isn’t too rough, and I enjoy work- ing on the computer,” said senior- Terry Harvill, a well-known com- puter wiz. The practice of teacher-helping is obviously beneficial to all par- ties and has proven to be an asset to student-teacher relations.

Mr. Opp listed 18 major differ- ences including that athletics were not important and girls’ ath- letics were non existant. There were no busses, cafeterias, or li- braries. Mr. McGhee remembers, “We were required to wear our shirts tucked in, wear belts, and have short hair. Female students al- ways dressed in skirts. “We had a dress code at school, and students could still receive ‘swats.’ There was no co-ed P.E. and no girls’ sports.

They are afraid of getting lost, of being late for class, of upperclassmen, and of not fitting in. Going from eighth grade to ninth is a scary step for most people. A lot of worrying occurs, but high school has a lot to offer. Students are faced with new responsibilities and must adapt to the new surroundings. Most students find out that high school is not as bad as they think and that they worried for no reason at all. Freshmen find that after the first few days of school, it can really be a lot of fun and that they fit right in. atl to Angela Adams Tammy Adams Elizabeth Aljets Gary Ambrose Lonnie Anderson Lori Anderson Barbara Ball Stacey Banfield Donna Barnes Tammy Basden Sue Bateman Darren Battles Tiffany Bauer Dawn Baze Carl Beck Sally Bell Theresa Bellamy Eric Bloodworth Kim Bolton Sheri Boudreaux Bill Bourland Angela Bradley Kristin Brakhane Christy Breyer While trying to complete an assignment, Nam Luu finds something funny written in his grammar book.

New freshmen enter the halls of our school at the beginning of every school year. The in- coming freshmen always have butterflies in their stomachs as they enter their high school for the first time. The first day for freshmen is hard for them be- cause they are not use to going to a big school, and the older students are bigger than most of them. After the first week of high school, most freshmen start to feel that they too are part of their high school. Once they begin to feel comfortable, they can start to enjoy their first year. “My first day of high school was kind of scary for me, but after a week of school, I felt a lot better, said Mindy Smith. I liked my first day of high school. I thought .it was a lot better than the first day of ju- nior high, said Kristy Feazel.

Spring and summer bring the horse show and contest season and that means a lot of travelling for Steve and Kim. We have been to Oklahoma, Kentucky, Kan- sas, Iowa, Indiana, and Wis- consin, said Steve. The best part about all the travel- ling is getting to meet new people all the time. The Sheppard family usu- ally brings homes trophies from their travels. Steve's gelding won last year as a grand champion, and Steve has also won awards for out- standing ability and show- manship.

Freshmen Freshman Paula Hunt spends her Study Hall hour sitting in the library reading an action-packed book that she selected from the library. Freshmen fear bigger school Freshmen have many fears as they begin their high school careers. The number one fear is getting lost. “I always had a massive fear of getting lost,” said Paris Williams. At first sight, C.M. looks very large. Fresh- men walking around on the first day with maps and asking teachers room numbers is not uncommon. Another fear is getting stuck in classes where they do not know anyone. Brad Klaustermeier said, “I was afraid of all the new classes. I knew it would be a lot different from junior high.” However, many long-lasting friendships are made that freshman year. Initiations are an- other reason freshmen are fearful. With that in mind, it is easy to understand why they also fear upperclassmen, better known as “the initiators.” I feared all the seniors were going to tear my legs off,” said Warren Lindley. One can hear many stories about freshmen getting dumped in trash cans, but like most stories, it is hard to track down someone who actually saw it happen. At least freshmen can take heart that next year they will be sophomores, and those fears will be gone.

Some freshmen do not know what to expect and this produces anxious feel- ings. Freshman Gina DiPaolo said, I expected everyone to pick on me, but when I got here, everyone was real nice.” This sentiment was echoed by Jennifer Yancey who said, “I thought it would be hard to fit in, but everyone was friendly. Even the seniors were nice to me.” Most freshmen expect scholastic challenge and are leery of attending classes with upper- classmen, but after a few weeks they adjust to the new environment and feel comfortable. Christy Connoyer remarked, “When I came to high school I expected classes to be tough and a day to be a real challenge.” Freshman Brenda Godar said, “I thought the classes would be harder than they are. I thought the upperclassmen would be meaner than they are.” Despite their apprehensions, most freshmen find that they even enjoy high school. As Gordon McRae commented, “High school has been pret- ty much the way I expected. It’s fun and it will get even better every year.” Darren Lamere Industrial Arts I gives students a chance to sample a vari- ety of industrial arts before specializing in one.

Freshmen SOPHOMORES The student adds many pieces to the puzzle when he is a sopho- more. He fits in a little better than he did his first year of high school; he feels as if he is more a part of the picture. He seems to have adjusted to the teachers, other students, and the school itself. Still, he does not have everything together yet. He worries about his first job, not passing his driver's examination test, and coming up with the money to buy a class ring.

Most sophomores order their rings at school, but some order them from local jewelry stores. Class rings that are ordered at school are ordered from Jostens. An assembly is held for the sophomores every year in which a Jostens’ representative comes to the school and gives a presentation about the rings. A $20.00 deposit is re- quired to order a class ring. The rings are delivered to the school D.E. store and the balance is paid when the ring is picked up. Sophomore Shelley Davis ordered her ring through school. She was pleased with her ring. Shelley said that she chose the circle-shaped ring because she thought it was prettier. She chose the eagle and a shield for the symbols on her ring. “I might change the sides if I got into more activities, ” stated Shel- ley. Kim Claytor ordered her ring from a jeweler. She wasn’t pleased with her ring because the jeweler messed her name up. Kim also chose the circle- shaped ring. She chose the eagle and spirit for the symbols on the sides of her ring. “If I could change the sides, I would change it to cheerleading. It’s okay for now, ’’ said Kim. Class rings are kept as a remem- brance of a person’s high school years. The symbols on the sides of the ring are usually chosen for the purpose of being a reminder of what the owner of the ring did or accomplished during his high school years. Many men wear their class rings throughout their lives. Can- dy Carter Janette Marshall During a free fifth hour, sophomores Kim Claytor and Shel- ley Davis prepare to study for afternoon tests.

Being able to pick on fresh- men simply because one is no longer a freshman and or- dering class rings are two of these. But perhaps the most exciting and most talked about experience of the sophomore year is Driver’s Ed. Some sophomores have chosen to share their most memorable experiences from Driver’s Ed. Lori Bradley- The first time I ever drove, I was backing out of the driveway or I was ready to), and I had put the car in drive instead of reverse and I almost went through the garage door.” Chad Gerber I was driv- ing through Alton one night. I wasn’t paying attention. The next thing I knew, there was a red stop light. I locked up the brakes and the car slid sideways. Steve Mann- A man was walking along the side of the street, and I told Scott Mas- terson, Ten points for the old man. Then, not realiz- ing it, he swerved off the road just in front of the old man and almost hit him. Needless to say, all of us thought it was funny (except Mr. Bland) Laura Subick- When I was backing out of our car- port, I hit a pole that holds it up and knocked half of the carport down.” Derik Holtmann- I was riding with Eddie Ingram, his second time behind the wheel. As we were riding along the sidewalk, Eddie al- most took out a sewer drain- age, but he recovered grace- fully. Amy Harrop- My first time behind the wheel, two dogs walked out in the mid- dle of the road, sat down, and stared at me. They wouldn’t move!

They think of vacation as a time to get away from home, have fun, and relax. When asked what their favorite vacation was, many chose a wide variety of warm places. By a wide margin, Florida was named the Favorite Travel Spot of the Class of ‘89.” Elisa Moss said, I like Florida because I like to go to the beach. It’s a great place to go watch the surfers!” I really enjoyed Walt Disney World,” said Mi- chelle Godar. It surprised me — the adults were having more fun than the children!” Other Florida attractions mentioned were Busch Gardens, Sea World, and Circus World, but do people go to Flor- ida just to swim and see attractions? Apparently not, says Melissa Boomershine, who stated, I liked Florida because of the guys! Warm places, however, are not the most popular places to go for everyone. Jackie Dorris said, I like to go to North Carolina. I like visiting my relatives there, and North Carolina has a lot of nice places to see. Boston was Billy Walker’s favorite, who said, I liked seeing the historic places in Boston, but I loved the seagulls by the coast!” Besides going on summer vacation, this year’s sophomore class is also looking forward to coming back home, becoming juniors, and being upper- classmen.

Sophomores JGNIORS Juniors are taught that “History is a mystery” and soon realize that life is the same. It’s hard to figure out at times, but a person must keep going if he wants to find his individual place. Juniors keep busy participating in organizations, activities, and sports. A junior sells magazine subscriptions to help raise money for the prom, studies hard for Physics and Biology 2 tests, and worries about what he will score on the ACT test. He, also, enjoys being an upperclassmen because he knows that there is only one year left; the year he will rule the school.

Magazine sales down, But spirits high ‘‘Would you like to buy a magazine sub- scription from the Civic Memorial junior class? This seems to be the most commonly- used phrase in a junior’s vocabulary at the beginning of the year. Traditionally, fall marks the kickoff of the magazine sales cam- paign conducted by the junior class as a mon- ey-making project for the prom and following year’s coronation. The sale of magazines offers every junior a chance to help his class. Prizes and money are offered as incentives. Andy Sticht, this year’s top seller, won fifty dollars for his ef- forts. When asked how he sold over two hun- dred dollars worth of subscriptions, he re- plied, It took a lot of hard work and help from my parents.” Junior classes of recent years have had trouble raising the funds needed for success- ful completion of their duties” as juniors. In keeping with the trend, this year’s class was no exception. Despite their troubles, junior president Brad Labertew remarked, Al- though sales were not as we had hoped in the beginning, our class pulled together and came through with more orders at the end.

ACT Challenges Juhior class “Time’s up. Put your pen- cils down, says Mr. Besant after the time expires on the final portion of the A.C.T. After two hours and thirty- five minutes of unbearable brain strain, 107 over- stressed students can only sigh. For some, it is a sigh of happiness; for others, frus- tration. For everyone, it is relief. The A.C.T. is a stan- dardized test produced an- nually by the American Col- lege Testing program as an important criterion for col- lege acceptance and scholar- ship considerations. Al- though it can be taken again, it is a source for much concern among col- lege-bound juniors. The test itself covers four areas: Eng- lish, mathematics, social studies, and science. “The test was really hard, but I know it was necessary for my future,” said a re- lieved Terri Carr.

Juniors Stenography homework for Tricia Emde and English for Terri Carr should keep them busy and out of trouble. Numerous committees set For “Sentimental Street” Planning for the prom began in mid-February when a meet- ing was called for any junior interested in helping out. Mrs. Paschedag and Mr. Bland, prom sponsors, explained the class’s responsibilities and gave deadlines. Applications were taken for committees and their chairmen. At a later meet- ing, the committee members were announced and the re- sponsibilities of each commit- tee explained in more detail. Reservations had to be set up. Programs had to be printed, and glasses had to be ordered in what was starting to seem like less and less time. On top of all this was the important duty of decorating the com- mons for the dance. A separate committee, the decorating committee, was given the re- sponsibility of conceiving a theme and its decorations. The committee also had to order decorations, arrange for work nights, and keep the decora- tions preparations on schedule. Michele Barach, chairman of the decorating committee, said, “With all of the things to do — buy materials, set up working times — I never thought we could get finished on time. But, of course, we did, and I know everyone was very happy with the results.” Brad Labertew A little horseplay among friends is part of being a teenager. Here.

Johnson Career Development Center in Alton. J.B. Johnson Center offers programs that will enable students to become state certified upon completion. These courses give students back- ground knowledge and the opportunity to devel- op technical skills. Currently, there are ten schools that have joint agreements with the cen- ter and send students. Junior cosmetology stu- dent Krista Fulcher pointed out one advantage of going to J.B. I like meeting different teen- agers from other schools who are going to do the same thing as you.” This career center was completed in 1976 and named after Dr. James B. Johnson, who is known for his leadership in public education. The facility offers 28 vocational programs in five occupational areas: agriculture; business, mar- keting and management; health; home econom- ics; and trade and industrial occupations. Some popular courses that CM students enjoy are nursing, cosmetology, drafting, electronics, and commercial art, among many other choices. As junior Fran Blackketter put it, J.B. Johnson is serious and it helps you get ready for the fu- ture.

Juniors SENIORS During the senior year, the puzzle is almost complete. The piece that is missing, however, is the biggest one of all: Which road shall I take? Fortunately, the senior has a few qualities — intelligence and experience — acquired in high school that help him. However, a senior is also confused. He realizes that he must somehow fit all these pieces together and decide the form his future will take. One of the toughtest things a senior must do is face the reality that he and his friends must go their separate ways. But even though a senior is parted from his friends, his memory, will always be strong.

What’s your number?” The class of ’87 rises in a clamor of voices showing their spirit and support for their school. Pep assemblies are the spirit build- ers of the school, a time when every stu- dent has a chance to give a cheer for the Eagles! Pep assemblies show the players that we care and we are behind them. They also create more memories for the seniors and get freshmen into high school activities,” said Missy Barker, winner of the Most School Spirit award. Pep assemblies have always been a part of high school in Bethalto. They’ve evolved from ten minutes on the football field to a well-planned indoor event. Re- cently, however, an assembly schedule was devised that allows time for the assem- bly by taking only three minutes away from each class period. “The spirit yell is my favorite part of every pep assembly because I can stand up and yell with the rest of my class and not be the only one yelling!” said senior Stephanie Grant about her tendency to be heard above the crowd. The spirit yell was reinstated when the new building was opened seven years ago. It was started to create more school spirit among the classes by encouraging the nat- ural spirit of competition. Each class has a chance to stand and cheer. Teachers judge the loudest group. Our class has always done well in the spirit yells, but our senior year has shown the underclassmen that we are the best,” said senior cheerleader Monica Eaker. Pep assemblies will always be a part of student life. They allow friends to have some time away from class to relax and cheer the Eagles on to victory, so when they hear the question: Hey Eagles, what’s your number?” The resounding re- ply is, “Number One!” Michelle Dickerson Leaders born here “I have a dream” resounds from the po- dium as Martin Luther King, Jr. delivers his famous speech. Leaders such as King are rare; not many people have what lead- ership requires. It takes special inner drive that few people have. Brian Keefe, president of the senior class and National Honor Society, says, “I like the feeling of being in charge, and I like even better the feeling of accomplishment when I know l”ve succeeded.” Being a leader is hard work, but some people enjoy it. Richard Cameron, editor-in- chief of the yearbook says, “I enjoy the honor of helping out the school and putting the school year in published form.” While our school have its academic lead- ers and club leaders, it also has its sports leaders. Many players have used their on- field skills to help lead their teams to victo- ry. Bill Wombles, co-captain of the soccer team, helped lead his team to the MVC championship for the first time in school history. He says, “I set a goal to try and help turn the soccer program around and make winning a tradition for CM soccer. Just as Martin Luther King, Jr. was a leader of his time, CM is producing its own leaders to guide the new generation of the ‘80's. Mike Rothe Seniors reminisce Memories last a lifetime! Throughout a person’s high school career, he exper- iences many things he will never forget. This year’s class will remember a number of events. Most seniors will recall their first Coronation and their last Prom, the times they were up all night finishing composi- tions, or just preparing for those special events with friends. Senior Stacy Wilcox says, “To me there is nothing more important than friendship in high school, and I’ll never forget the good times I’ve had with my friends.” Sen- iors often reflect on the fun times: the bon- fires, float preparation, pep assemblies, band tours, and of course sporting events. As everyone knows, times change; and seniors will be the first to attest to that. The class of 1987 has seen numerous fads and styles come and go. Most will remem- ber themselves or their friends donning parachute pants, striped jeans, jams, add-a- bead necklaces, and even rat-tail braids in their hair. All things considered, there will be many unforgetable times and changes; still, everything will be the good ole’ days.” Stacy Wilcox Illinois State Scholars- Front: Brian Heunaber, Gabe Solomon, Beth Armstrong, Jason Devine.

Illinois State Scholars Voice Of Democracy Honors banquet, senior awards assembly Recognize honor students To some, working the puzzle of life took more than just sitting in class from day to day. It took a lot of hard work and sacrific- ing. On several different occasions students were honored for their hard work. Two outside groups held banquets for senior students. The Wood River Kiwanis honored the top ten all-around students — Richard Cameron, Jason Devine, Michelle Dickerson, Julie Drake, Brian Hendricks, Gina Kalika, Brian Keefe, Missy Linton, Me- linda Tieman, Stacy Wilcox — with a ban- quet at Amelia's. Brian Keefe won a $500 scholarship there, too. The Bethalto Rotary Club honored the top ten students academically — Michelle Dickerson, Brian Keefe, Brian Neunaber, Kim Sheppard, Beth Armstrong, Gabe Solomon, Tim Vogel, Mary Manley, Shane Davis, John Standefer — with a banquet also at Amelia’s. At the senior awards assembly, many honors were given out. The Most Valuable Athlete Awards went to junior Janene Drake and senior Darrin Clark. Senior Mike Hogan was presented the Illinois Sheriff’s Association Scholarship, while American Legion school awards went to Melinda Tie- man and Brian Hendricks. The Good Citi- zenship Medal, presented by the Sons of the American Revolution, was presented to senior Richard Cameron. Richard said, My winning made me really feel like someone appreciated my contribution to the school.’’ In addition, Shelley Little won Business Education Award, and Terry Har- vill won an award in computer science. The Industrial Arts Award was presented to the club president Trent Hubbert. The honors banquet was held for all the students who made honor roll three quar- ters. Teachers served as waiters and wait- resses for the evening. After the meal, for the first time ever, the National Honor Soci- ety induction was held. This is usually done on a separate occasion but was in- cluded with the honors banquet this year. NHS sponsor Mrs. Whitfield said, It worked out nicely because now more par- ents and younger student are aware that there is an honor society to strive to be in. For five years of straight A’s in college-bound math, senior Brian Neunaber is presented the mathematics award by Mrs. Whitfield. Honors Four members gave speeches on the characteristics of the society: character, scholarship, leadership, and service. Two seniors and twenty-four juniors were in- ducted. Illinois State Scholars and Presi- dent’s Fitness Award winners were also recognized that evening. Individual scholarship winners were also recognized. Julie Kilmer won an academic scholarship to Greenville College. Brian Hendricks won the Presidential Scholar- ship to SIG-E. Co-valedictorian Brian Keefe won a scholarship from Olin and through his church, in addition to the Kiwanis. The other co-valedictorian Michelle Dickerson was recognized by the Post Dispatch as Scholar Athlete”; she, also, won the Al- brecht-Hamlin Scholarship. Jason Devine was the recipient of a scholarship to St. Louis University. Missy Linton accepted a scholarship from the Wood River Town- ship Ladies’ Auxiliary Club. The puzzle of life contains many types of individuals. Those who sacrificed them- selves in the pursuit of bettering them- selves and the school were properly com- mended for their outstanding work. Rich- ard Cameron In CM history Beth Armstrong is the only student ever to receive a National Merit scholarship. Beth was in competition with students over the country through her score on PSAT; MCA corporation fi- nanced the scholarship. Mr. McCann presents activity awards to the eight most active seniors in school — Richard Cameron, Brian Hendricks, Craig Wilson, Gina Kalika, Melinda Tieman. Stacy Wilcox, Michelle Dickerson, Brian Keefe — for their achievements. The Bcthalto Education Association, represented by president Linda Anderson, awards Richard Cameron with a $1,000 scholarship. Cameron also won the Founders Scholarship to Drake University and the SAR Good Citizenship Medal. Senior Julie Drake receives the Knights of Columbus Scholarship from her counselor, Mr. Pat Asaro. Julie also accepted the Health Careers Club scholarship to study nursing. Sgt. Peterson prepares to place the U.S. Army Re- serve Scholar Athlete Award medal on senior Mi- chelle Dickerson. Brian Keefe also received this award for outstanding academic and athletic ability. “An honor is an academic distinc- tion conferred on a superior stu- dent.” We finally make it — a night of sadness, joy CM graduates 219 “Pomp and Circumstance” resounded throughout the Eagle stadium as two hun- dred nineteen seniors paraded onto the football field, closing out their high school careers. Commenting on 1987 being the first out- side graduation, Assistant Principal Air. Mayes said, “Back when we were over in the old building, we had planned it outside three years in a row, and it rained every time.” This year, however, graduation was held on a beautiful, eighty-degree evening as a huge crowd jammed the stadium. Baccalaureate services, too, received a change. Instead of marching in as a class and wearing the traditional robes, seniors sat with their families and wore dress clothes. The service was also held in the air-conditioned auditorium for the first time. Following “Friends,” a selection by the senior chorus members, Rev. Pat Heston of First Christian Church spoke. He reminded the students that “Everybody is some- body” and commended the school for con- tinuing the tradition of the baccalaureate services while other schools have dis- missed them. The senior chorus members sang again at commencement. “We Must Say Good- bye” brought back memories and hopes that the graduates would one day be to- gether again. Michelle Dickerson and Brian Keefe were named valedictorians, both earning a perfect 4.0 grade point average. They re- ceived scholarship money from the Joseph Higgins and Peggy Kohlburn Memorial Scholarship Funds. Michelle observed in her speech that a lot of what we need to know we learned in kindergarten. She said, “Think of what a better world it would be if the whole world would have cookies and milk at 3 o’clock every afternoon and then lie down with our blankets for a nap.” Emphasizing the prin- ciples learned early in life, she also read a poem she wrote called What is a Gra- duate?” and then congratulated the retir- ing assistant principals for their years of service to the district. Brian reminded the audience that leav- ing behind high school meant leaving be- hind a part of ourselves. He said, “High school is an experience to be lived. It’s fun at times, horrible at times, but it was al- ways there the next day . . . until now.” He, too, saluted the retiring deans, along with his co-valedictorian. Commencement In Student Council President Melinda Tieman's address, she spoke, “Though we are here together, we will be going out as individuals. Reading a poem entitled “We Made Each Other Strong,” she concluded, “Tonight is the beginning of a new and better life.” Class President Brian Keefe spoke of his privilege in leading the class and cited its accomplishments, including the electronic message board left as a gift to the school. He remarked, “Look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come through. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best.” Brian then presented the gavel to Brad La- bertew, president of the class of '88, wish- ing the class a “happy trail.” As the class was presented, Brian Heun aber was announced as salutatorian. Upon receiving their diplomas, the class moved their tassels to the right side of their caps, signifying the end of an era. “As the tassel is moved, so is a lifetime. For the paths are chosen, only the journey remains. God- speed,” wished retiring Assistant Principal Mr. Mayes. Following the ceremonies, the crowd scattered. An array of emotions was dis- played — happiness, sadness, retrospect, and regret just to name a few. Commence- ment may mean the end of high school, but for life, it is only the beginning. Richard Cameron Co-valedictorian Michelle Dickerson recites her poem What is a Graduate?” as part of her speech. Mi- chelle plans to further her education at Arizona State University. Will we look back on our CM days and sing with Edith Bunker, ‘Those Were the Days’?” says co- valedictorian Brian Keefe. Brian plans are to attend the University of Illinois. Enjoying a final moment together. Missy Barker hugs her good friend Michelle Cameron before gradu- ation exercises begin. The thirteen members of the senior chorus watch for the signal to begin singing We Must Say Good- Bye. Following the benediction, the class of 1987 comes to the realization that their high school days are now history. Graduation was well-attended, as the packed stadium clearly shows. Senior Marty St. Peters checks to make sure his mortarboard is on properly. “Think of what a better world it would be if we had a basic policy in our nation and other nations to put things back where we found them and clean up our messes.” Mi- chelle Dickerson “Just when we were beginning to put the pieces together, they changed the puzzle . . . Just when we were starting to enjoy it again, we graduate.” Brian Keefe Commencement ttSOTHM IW KM� f ,■ Y V tWIIlO Real Estate Sales New Home Construction Highway 140, Bethalto The Areas Largest Custom Home Builder BETHALTO MR.

Congratulations a COLOPHON submitted by Editor Richard Cameron The thirty-seventh volume of the Civic Memorial High School Spectator was pub- lished by the Spectator Staff, advised by Mrs. Carolyn Beck. The book was pub- lished by Jostens Printing Publishing at Topeka, Kansas. Ed Sugden of Columbia, Illinois, served as our publishing represen- tative, while Pam Ortega was our in-plant consultant. The puzzle cover was selected from the craftline emblems at Jostens. The two ap- plied colors were Yellow Gold (526) and Black (326). The grain was Cordova and the title of the book silkscreened. The endsheets were Snow White (280) with Royal Purple (527) ink applied over them. The poem on the back endsheet was written by senior Michelle Dickerson. There were 650 copies of the 192-page book published. The book sold at $18. per copy. Copy was submitted on Jostens Micro- graphix. The major type style used was Korinna. In copy, names were highlighted in Korinna Italic. In captions, names were highlighted in Korinna Bold Italic, with the rest of the caption in Korinna Bold. Organi- zation labels, endsheets, class traits, and introductory sections were some of the sections that used Jefferson (script) sub- headlines. The majority of the book, though, contained Korinna headlines and subheadlines. The candid photography in the book was taken by yearbook staff members, photography classes, and Mr. McMIllen, photography adviser. Portrait photographs and group pictures were taken by Delmar Studios of Medora. Four color process was used for senior mug shots. Spot color in the introductory section of the book was Medium Blue (Tempo 285) ink. Three-column layout style was used in the introduction, activities, and concluding sections. The sports and organizations sec- tions used four-column layout style. THE BRIDAL SUITE Alton Square Mall 465-3999 Congratulations Class Of ’87 You’re Special!

The work was hard and the hours long, but the extra effort from some people made it all possible. I greatly appreciate the staff’s dedication and effort, especially on some weekends and late week- nights before deadlines, when we thought we would not make it. A very special thanks to Atr. McMillen and his staff of photographers for shooting, devel- oping, and printing the pictures for this book. Additional appreciation must be extended to a very dedicated individual, Mrs. Beck. Her time, leadership, and friendship have been an inspiration to us all in putting the book to- gether. To Ed Sugden of Jostens Printing and Pub- lishing, thank you for providing me with a scholarship to the Quincy workshop; if 1 hadn’t gone, I would have never gotten off the ground with this yearbook. Also, thank you for the micrographix program; this has aided us greatly. To create a yearbook takes many indivi- duals. To friends and family, putting up with us during deadlines is greatly appreciated, too.
