Claytonian ’78 Presents “The Tree of Life” Clay City High School Unit District 10 Clay City, Illinois The tree of life changes with the seasons Take time to experience a new outlook toward the personalities around you. People like their environment, change with each oncoming season. Attitudes, responsibilities, and even physical appearances undergo continuous variation. These pages will convey throughout this book what is truly the tree of life. The foundation, our school supplies the basis for our growth and development as human beings. Each branch is a person reaching out for their individual goals. Each fall begins the development of another year’s goal. Winter’s rough survival matures the goal like a lifeless tree until spring blossoms it into a reality. Yes, a tree is the symbol of life and as Oliver St. John Gogarty phrased it in his poem. The Crab Tree: A vitalized symbol Of earth and of storm Of Chaos contracted To intricate form.” Summer 112-113 114-141 142 171 172-175 17 « Activities Classes Ads , , Index « % Conclusion f' 3 I Fall parades in colorful style Fall is the season of colorful activities. Children parade as goblins, ghosts, and bears to celebrate the arrival of the Great Pumpkin. It is the time when brisk winds shed the trees of their coat of color, bringing both work and play. All through the season bulletin boards are covered with orange, brown, and gold, whether it be pumpkins, turkeys, or books. Because of the start of a new t'r Winter braves bold adventures Winter is the season when snowflakes fall from the heavens to blanket the earth leaving a white wonderland of fun and frolic. Skating, sledding, and snow mobiling provide adventures for a cold winter’s day. It is the time when Christmas carols ring through the air and the bright eyes-of children shine on an early Christmas morning. A spirit of togetherness stems from the holiday reunion to the basketball court. Parents, alumni, and loyal fans back the Wolves at home and away. Winter leaves its imprint upon the earth. The grass is dead and even though the trees are bare, the life within flows on. Vitality springs forth in various activities Spring gives life a fresh new meaning after winter’s coldness. The sun’s warmth makes hearts burn with spring fever, and puppy love becomes more than words when sharing each other’s experiences. Spring offers an opportunity to explore intriguing challenges. Each person’s vitality is renewed in spring sports. Outdoor fun comes alive on sandy sidewalks, green golf courses, and dusty diamonds. With the blossoming of the year’s final goals, spring brings new hopes for the future, and the tree of life is forever reaching toward the future. 8 4 Summer’s whirling activities set up a vivacious vacation Summer is the season in the sun with tennis shoes, bathing suits, and sunglasses. CCHS’ers start the summer off foot loose and fancy free. Days and nights are filled with excitement as well as anxieties. Fairs, pool, and games, as well as field, jobs, and workshops are part of the everyday summer routine. Summer breaks up school tension and allows both teachers and students time to prepare for the school year to come. 12 13 Festival offers heel kicking fun The annual Fall Festival, sponsored by the Civic Association, marked Clay City as a center of activity. The Sept. 10 event brought numerous people to share in many activities such as dancing, cake walks, and kiddy rides.

There were three newcomers to the sport: Brian Eckleberry, Alan Tolliver, and Sam Frank. These boys gained experience this year and are looking ahead to the next season. Veteran runners Jeff Staser and Brad Ausbrook, who have gone out for the sport all four of their high school years, turned in good times to help out the team scoring.

Along with apple pie and Chevrolet, the great American sport of baseball is also popular in grade school. When a boy goes out for baseball he must be prepared to face long, hard hours of practice, be it batting, fielding, or pitching. Mr. Ron Patridge, coach of the Cub’s team, strived to work out any problems the boys had in order to form a winning team. The Cubs played hard all season in favorable weather conditions and ended the season with a record of 3-5. Within the next few years, these seventh and eighth graders will improve and strengthen future grade and high school teams. Even though the team had a losing season each player was a winner. A.

Both the Varsity and the JV had the potential and the ability but couldn’t find the winning combination. The girls had many near wins and heart breaking losses.

Each root becoming deeper with the changing of seasons. We entered the school year with the crisp winds of fall, and now we leave as the blossoms of spring waiting for our fresh, new future. It is time for us to go, but we leave behind this book of precious memories. You will remember the events within, but as co-editors we will remember the effort it took to bind these pages together. We will also remember the help everyone has given us. They have done so much for us, and yet all we can do is simply say “thank you” . . . — Parents — Faculty and Administration — Charlie Sisk, Taylor Representative — Annual Staff — Mr. Louie Lusk — Wolves Howl — Clubs — Spieth More than a ‘‘thank you” is needed to show how much we appreciate, value, and treasure the time, guidance, and friendship given to us by our advisor, Mrs. Julie Oesch. To her we give our love. 176
