Clinton High School - Clintonia Yearbook (Clinton, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 168 of the 1988 volume:

’88 Memories Many students passed the year by leaving their marks on different aspects of school and community activities. So many things go on throughout the year that students can get involved in practically any area they are interested. Clintonia ’88 is filled with memories from the entire year— dances, sports, clubs, and most of all, the students LEAVING THEIR MARKS! People in these activities are making memories. New cars, new friends, new hairstyles, new sayings came into this year leaving their marks on all the students. Most of all, friends and fun have made up the 1987-1988 school year, one to remember for the rest of our lives. Upper right: Teena Ingram and Todd Brown are STILL together!

Leaving Our Mark With Friends Leaving Our Mark with Friends 7 Leaving Our Mark in Leaving Our Mark in the Hallways of C.H.S. was one way of leaving our memories. Homework and classes were important. but it wasn’t until the bell rang that we could go into the hallways and talk with our friends or gossip or see someone that we admired that the memories really began. Passing time was only five minutes, and every student took advantage of it, like knowing what’s new or what’s old or the plans for the weekend or who was gonna call whom. People would also yell down the halls saying, “Anyone got any gum?” A person could also observe kissing, fighting, flirting, and cramming. Upper right: Four of the Advanced Chorus members “strut their stuff after a well done concert. Left: Karyn Volker and Adam Cornell sitting in a tree, S-M-I-L-I-N-G!

Lower left: So, this is what all the people love about Greg Henry! Lower right: What’s wrong? Are their bows too tight? Friends would also come to one another’s locker to visit and admire the decorations. Class members decorated the hallways at Christmas for monetary prizes. Cheerleaders also decorated for special athletic events. Being out in the hallways proved to be the best time during school. A student just couldn’t wait to go out in the hall and be with his friends. Those are the hallways of C.H.S. Leaving Our Mark 9 Leaving Our Mark With Class Leaving Our Mark With Class captured some of the “fun” aspects in the classrooms. In the year 1987-88 a few changes were seen in the classroom agenda. The first day of school brought confusion to the upper classmen because the faculty pulled a fast one and switched the teachers’ rooms to other locations. Once again, for the second year, homeroom was left out of the students’ schedules. Many were disappointed to lose their beloved band director, Mr. Coller, but the new director, Mr. Streight tried his best to take Mr. Coller’s place. Others missed Mrs. Blackburn and tried to adjust to Mrs. Fields and the new rules in the library. Some new classes were sports medicine, walking for fitness, earlybird computer literacy, and business information processing. Also, students were shocked to learn that they had to join the pep club in order to go to the pep assemblies; otherwise, they had to remain in their study halls. Even though many changes occurred throughout the year, there were many great times in the classrooms. Bobby Hoffman is too interested in the camera to see what he got on his math test. Mark Tarbox really gets into his school work. 10 Leaving Our Mark With Class Mr. Zartler dresses for a special era. Judd Hayes is shown answering one of the many phone calls he receives while working in the office. Greg Stirrett and Jeff Hammer put in much effort during P.E. class. Coach Wylder leads the calculus class through another hard day of work. Julie Nothnagcl and classmates enjoy one of the “fun” aspects of Home Ec. Leaving Our Mark 11 “We Really Do Love School .. . ” From the talk in the halls and in the cafeteria, you’d think school was at the “bottom of our list.” Look at these smiling faces. You know if we’re so happy to be here, there must be others. Actually, four years pass quickly; friends, however, last forever. The friendships that begin here are renewed daily at first, then occasionally— at alumni gatherings, marriages, births, and sometimes, unfortunately, even deaths. Going to school provides some of the most lasting memories we will ever share. Top right: Jim Foster and Dale Sizemore enjoy a chuckle in the lunch line, while Todd Brown falls into a trance.

That’s how I ended up coming to Clinton. I came in the middle of the summer. In the beginning I was homesick, but my host family, Dottie and Joel Hendricks helped me also. Then a month and a half later school started, and this was the biggest change I had. I was going to school with boys for the first time, and I didn’t have to wear a uniform. I had to go from one class to another; these classes I wanted to take were completely different than the ones we had in Colombia. It was Great! That was when I began meeting people and having lots of fun! New and different things were Homecoming week, football (that 1 finally got to understand), the fall play, the square, Bloomington, and experiencing my first snow. All places, moments and people; it’s going to be so hard to leave, and 1 won’t ever forget any of them. I just want to say thanks to my family and all of the people that made me feel at home and the friends that made me feel like a part of Clinton High!” Top left: Ana Lucia is from Colombia.

October 3 was the beginning of a spirit-filled week. Monday was designated Idol Day, a day when students dressed up, looking like anyone from Laveme or Shirley to R.D. Paullin, everyone’s favorite senior guy. Hawaiian Day, a popular idea that many participated in was Tuesday, with Dress-up Day and Hats-n-Suspenders Day following on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. The annual Maroon and Gold Day concluded the week. On Tuesday night at 6:30, the girls’ Powder Puff football game was once again held. Last year the game had to be cancelled because of rain. The combined senior-freshman team known as K-A (Keep Alert!) was able to defeat the junior-sophomore team by a score of 14-6; both played a tough game and had much fun throughout the evening. In addition to all the activities, the newly formed Pep Club had its first assembly on Friday, October 9, in honor of Homecoming. Rex Paullin presided over this extremely large group; Mark Sphar, Chad Bolser, and Jeff Griggs are members of his staff. Homecoming would not be complete without the building of class floats. The Saturday preceding the Homecoming week was the starting point for all float action. The seniors gathered at Darrel Tucker’s garage as they had for the previous three years. Ginny’s dad has long been an ardent supporter of Maroon activities and has worked especially hard for the class of ’88. Marlin Underwood’s house was the designated spot for putting together the junior float, while the sophomores once again worked at Dan’s Welding Shop. The freshmen, who were the newcomers at the event, evidently put an extreme amount of effort and time in on their float because at the judging during the parade, which was held on Friday at 3:00, they were able to capture first place.

Upper left: Senior Sheila North asks, “Is the float almost finished? Upper right: Mark Sphar, Dave Innis, and Chad Bolser enjoy their first ride in the parade with their V.W. Club entry. Lower left: Taking a break from float building is always a good idea according to Mary Bixler and Dana Scott. A new event this year was the judging of banners, which took place prior to the parade. Any class, group, or activity involved with the High School could enter the contest. Many banners were entered and the judging was difficult; however, the senior class banner, “Smoke ’Em,” received first place. The task of choosing a Homecoming Queen was not an easy one this year either. Five finalists were selected from the ten candidates who appeared before the student body at an assembly on Monday, October 5. On Friday, a second assembly was held; Shannon Taylor, last year’s Queen, wished all the candidates good luck and the student body viewed the top five one more time and voted for their favorite. With Dawn Baird, Teena Ingram. Lucy Martin, Jodi Murphy and Veronica Zwick as the court choices, the decision was a difficult one. Friday night during the half-time show of the game. Shannon Taylor crowned Jodi Murphy the 1987 Homecoming Queen. The Clinton Maroons made “Homecoming ’87” successful with an impressive 26-7 win over the Pontiac Indians on Friday night, October 9. The Maroons controlled every phase of the game. Pontiac had over 115 yards in penalties and continued to help out the Maroons’ field position throughout the game. This Friday night was the best showing of Maroon offense this year. Clinton was 18-35 passing for 166 yards and 4 touchdowns in the air, while rushing for 136 yards. Pontiac only obtained 93 yards rushing and 47 passing. Chad Bolser threw two touchdown passes to Rex Paullin, one to Dave Innis, and one to Rodney Goodwin. Defensively, the Maroons completely stopped the Indians. The leading tacklers were Rex Paullin, Jeff Hoke, Mark Sphar and Mike Stokowski. The key play of the game was the last play of the first half. With Clinton leading only 13-7, Bolser dropped back and hit Paullin for a 20 yard touchdown as the clock ran down. Bolser had his best night of passing because the line was giving him the time to throw the ball. Chad was not sacked one time in the game. Overall, the win was very satisfying and rewarding to the Clinton team and the seniors in particular. To end all the Homecoming activities, from 8:00 to 11:00 on Saturday night, October 10, 1987, the Homecoming Dance was held in the High School cafeteria. Because Hanover Fist, the band, did not present the traditional moderate music, the dance floor was sparsely populated throughout the evening. Although the music was different with its fast beat, the guests had an enjoyable evening in spite of the new sound. Homecoming 23 Upper right: Lucy Martin. Dawn Baird, Tecna Ingram. Veronica Zwick.

Homecoming 25 NIGHT OF JANUARY 16TH The fall play, the NIGHT OF JANUARY 16TH, was a great success this year. During the two evening and two matinee performances on November 13, 14, and 15 of 1987, many new ideas were tried. The double cast show was a first. Performing at the new DeWitt County Courthouse was another first for the actors that created a different yet appropriate atmosphere. The final outcome of the play and the fate of the woman on trial was decided by a jury selected from the audience; this allowed the crowd to not only visualize but actually have an active part in the show. With the added twist of audience participation, the NIGHT OF JANUARY 16TH had either one of two endings, depending on the jury’s decision. Overall, with the use of a different setting and the crowd’s involvement, the fall play went extremely well. Upper right: With junior Jeff Griggs on the case—why worry?

During the two evening and one matinee productions, the fairytale. The Princess and the Pea, was modernized with anachronisms and humor. The play received numerous compliments on the authentic costumes and the elaborate, medieval castle setting. With Laura Martinek, as student director of this year’s cast, the spring play was overall a huge success in everyone’s mind. Top: Brother and sister, Joe and Julie Perring get into the act.

Council Sponsors SWEETHEART DANCE As in previous years, the Sweetheart Dance was a traditional occasion, when many shared a special evening with their latest “love.” This year’s dance was held on February 27, 1988, in the High School’s commons from 8:00 to 11:00 p.m. The music provided by the disc-jockey, Bus Boom Company, was enjoyed by all. The coronation of class Sweethearts was again held in the auditorium at 9:00 p.m. The 1988 Sweetheart court consisted of seniors—Dawn Baird, Jodi Murphy, Julie Murray, Karri Schaumburg, and winner, Lucy Martin; juniors—Brandi Callison, Robin Heath, Janell Komeman, Tara Torbert, and winner, Natalie Dulany; sophomores—Kelly O’Neill, Dawn Rodgers, Melissa Schumacher, Kisha Wheeler, and winner, Rita Ingram; and freshmen— Amber Boysen, Dawn Briggs, Sara Graves, Teresa Ijams, and winner, Sarah Olson. 1988 Sweethearts Pictured with their escorts arc Sarah Olson, Rita Ingram, Natalie Dulany, and Lucy Martin. Sweetheart Dance 29 “The Time of My Life The Class of 1989 planned and carried out several successful ideas for the prom held May 14. From 8-11 Saturday evening, the High School library was decorated in the colors of red, black and silver and became the dance floor for nearly 140 couples. The band, Bethlehem Steal, provided music of quite a different sound. An added convenience was the new idea of valet parking, which was provided by C.C.H.S. faculty members and individuals within the community. The crowning of the Queen and King is one event that remained the same from the years past. This year, Ratna Krishna was crowned Queen, while Tim Mahoney received the honor of King. After-Prom was once again held at the YMCA, where several enjoyed swimming, racquetball, movies, and snacks. Upper right: Although the Prom is over.

Below: Kim Haynes and Tara Matheny, best friends forever. Friday, May 20, 1988, was the date selected for the Senior-Class trip. However, because of several conflicts, only 22 girls set out for Branson, Missouri. After the nine-hour bus ride and several “potty breaks,” the class, along with Mr. Bryant, class sponsor, Mrs. Alexander, and Mrs. Haynes, arrived at the Gateway Inn. Friday afternoon was spent at Silver Dollar City. From there, the girls had the experience of the Country Mountain Music Jubilee. It was a different type of show, but most enjoyed it. After the show the class returned to the Inn to either swim, “pig out,” or crash! The next day was one of many new experiences. The major part of the morning was spent at Silver Dollar City once again and getting the class photo. After 12:00, the afternoon was each girls own. Several accepted the challenge of horseback riding, while others chose to go to a waterslide park. The pizza party was where the girls stuffed themselves one more time; then the evening was their own. Some went golfing, go-cart riding, shopping, or simply walking along the “strip.” New “friends” were met, new go-cart records were set, and our own “Miss Missouri,” Ana Lucia, was able to welcome outsiders to the town of Branson. (On a side note: during the night, strangely Mr. Bryant’s car was T.P.’d-imagine that!) Sunday monring, although it rained the entire time, the girls took an interesting Duck ride. Next, on the wilderness safari many of the girls got the unique thrill of “kissing” a camel and feeding the different animals. Then it was time once again to load onto the bus and head home. Although several stops were made, the girls finally arrived home to Clinton around 11:00 p.m. on Sunday evening. Top row: Mrs. Haynes, Suzic Alwood, Kathy Wilkinson, Ratna Krishna.

Senior Class Trip 35 The Class of 1988 Excitement, laughter, and overall tension filled the air on the evening of June 1, 1988. It was graduation night. The long counted down days of our high school years together were now gone. The memories of friendships, fun, tears, and happiness as one class are what we have to keep; the new opportunities, chances, and changes in the years ahead are what we have to gain. Although the Class of ‘88 will go far in life, we will not forget the special times at CCHS. The evening began with the invocation from Pastor Roger Cheatam. Speeches were given by Steph Riegel, Class VP, Ratna Krishna, Class President, and Tony Moore, Class Valedictorian. The night went quickly as did the four years together in these halls that the Class of ‘88 shared! 36 Class of ‘88 Left to right, top to bottom: Sheila North, Julie Murray, and Ginny Tucker are ready to graduate; friends; the graduates sit patiently through the hot ceremony; hey guys-smile; Dawn Baird and Dorrie Ellrick are glad it’s over; best friends Nicole Ethrton, Laurie Smith, and Denise Deavers enjoy the atmosphere after the ceremony; Melanie Chapman goes to accept her diploma; Nicole Etherton and Mike Stokowski share a few moments together; and Angela Elsasser and Paul Hartness get caught by the camera.

Rebecca Gawthorp, Ratna Krishna, and Stephanie Riegel show Mr. Byrd who's in charge. Seniors Raise Funds for Branson Trip The Class of 1988 elected their officers early in the month of September. Ratna Krishna was elected as president; Stephanie Riegel served as vicc-prcsidcnt; Rcbccca Gawthorp was secretary; and Sheila Short was elected as treasurer. Throughout the year, the seniors tried to raise money for the senior trip by operating a number of concession stands during the 1987-1988 varsity sporting events. Besides involvement with sporting activities, the seniors also sold class T-shirts, pizzas and candy bars. The seniors used their funds for a trip to Branson, Missouri, in the latter part of May. Nicole Ethcrton tries to look busy during her yearbook class. Tim Mahoney’s mind seems to be preoccupied with thoughts of after school activities. Seniors 43 Seniors Select Favorites Electing senior favorites has long been a tradition here at C.H.S. Over the years the categories have changed to reflect both the time and unique members of the class. A few years ago, Most Talented, Best Looking and Class Rowdies were popular labels for seniors. This year Best Figure and Best Physique reflect the growing concern with aerobics and exercise. Selecting a place to photograph the “favorites” also requires much thought. This year Wal-Mart, conveniently located across the street, proved to be a welcome addition to the list of backgrounds for senior favorites. The management of Wal-Mart was most cooperative in assisting the photographer and members of the CLINTONIA staff with ideas for the photos.

While we think of the memories of the years in the past. Tears begin to fill our eyes because it is all gone. We’re starting on a new life, we have to all move on. We hope our friends will keep in touch as the years pass us by. Although it hurts so much inside, we will try not to cry. We think of kindergarten and our very first days. Now we have reached the end, we're going our own ways. How do you say good-bye to friends who mean so much? We have all “grown-up” and hope they do keep in touch. But we’ll have the memories of our school years from day one. Don’t think of it as an ending-but as a new life that’s begun.

Help from parents, teachers, and local merchants made it a success. The night started out with dancing, gambling, and watching movies. The D.J. played songs until the auction, which started at 4:00 a.m. The money that people won could be saved to buy something at the auction. A graduate could find anything from cookware to a T.V.

Finishing with a 2-7 record, the Maroons were young and played a relentless schedule. Five of the nine opponents were in the state playoffs. Coach Goodwin stated, “It was an enjoyable season, as the players never quit and played like a 7-2 team.” The seniors on the 1987 team were a special group and helped lay the foundation for the future of the football program. Any success enjoyed in the future will be aided by this year’s seniors. Clinton was able to win its Homecoming Game, a tradition we hope to start with this season’s club. The freshmen ended their season with a 6-3 record while the sophomores had a 3-4 record.

At present, twenty-one clubs are actively involved in fund raisings, social gatherings, and community affairs. The chorus, under the direction of Kay Tennill, was divided into two sections this year. The Advanced Section covered more difficult literature and sang unaccompanied at their concerts and at various civic and religious functions. The group attended the ISU Choral Festival in the fall and enjoyed meeting other high school students while performing advanced choral literature. Both groups performed at the Christmas concerts with Lincoln and Douglas elementary schools and the Spring Concert. As part of the Fine Arts Department, the Choruses performed at the Fine Arts Festival along with the band, the drama group’s presentation, and the art department’s show. Several field trips to musical events were taken with money raised during the year. Band members were saddened to see Mr. Coller leave Clinton. Mr. Streight was less than warmly welcomed as the new band director. To start the school year, Mr. Streight stressed marching band and marching fundamentals. This was met with violent opposition by many band members. “We are a ADVANCED CHORUS concert band—not a marching band.” This was a statement voiced by one band member and the attitude of many. The 35-minute band rehearsal was a significant problem in practicing for a half-time field show. The marching band traveled and performed in the Shelbyville Marching Band Festival. Clinton band members saw and heard many other fine marching bands in action. Enough interest was shown in flags that our own Flag Corps was started. The Flag Corps performed with the band at the Clinton Christmas Parade, and the Regional Basketball pep assembly and game. The Flag Corps will be an intricate part of the Marching Band next year. In November, the Jazz Band began rehearsing two mornings a week at 7:15 a.m. The Jazz Band performed at the Winter Concert and three jazz festivals this year. The Millikin Jazz Festival was non-competitive and proved to be a valuable learning experience. The band received a First Rating in competition at Eastern Illinois’ Jazz Festival the following weekend. Jeff Harrold received the Outstanding Performer Award at the ceremony in Charleston. On March 10 the Jazz Band hosted their own Jazz Festival in the commons with Dan Goble. Dan is the professor of jazz studies at E.I.U. Dan did a clinic for the band and was the featured soloist.

Organizations 115 Concert Band Band Officers Flag Corps 116 Organizations The band’s trip this year consisted of rehearsals at E.I.U. and a fun trip to St. Louis. The band worked in small groups and full band rehearsals with Eastern’s staff and then travelled on to St. Louis for a night and day on the town. Plans are in the works for a longer trip next year. There was also the traditional spring band concert, I.H.S.A. band contest, Concert-A-Thon, and the band awards banquet. Graduation provided the last opportunity for seniors to perform for the public. Mr. Streight is very optimistic about the future of Clinton bands. He hopes to sell his home in Decatur and move to Clinton as soon as possible. Look for a much improved marching band next season, Mr. Streight hopes to change attitudes and have a fine marching band as well as a fine Concert Band and Jazz Band. This year the Foreign Language Club, headed by Mrs. Laffey, consisted of President: Stephanie Riegel, Secretary: Ratna Krishna, Treasurer: Jenny Lowers, Student Council Liaison: Jill Gordon, and Social Directors: Melissa Archey and Cybill Nelson. During Homecoming week they won third place in the banner competition and entered a decorated truck in the parade. Foreign Language Club students decorated their hall for the holidays with an international flair. They also sang some carols in Spanish and French for the residents of Crestview Nursing Home. This was followed by a Christmas party full of fun and food! Lastly, the club made its annual trips to Chi-Chi’s for a taste of Mexican cuisine, and to Stephanie’s to feast upon French cuisine. Organizations 117 The 1987-88 school year found the Lettermen’s Club undergoing several changes, beginning with the name. From then on they would be known as the Clinton Varsity Club because of the membership of both boys and girls. The hope was to get the Varsity Club again active in the school activities. New Varsity Club jackets were purchased and worn by the members. In the future membership will be through invitation after athletes receive a Varsity Letter. Membership will no longer be automatic. Clinton High Schools Thespian Troupe 3151 had an exciting year. The year started with a fund raiser at the Apple-n-Pork Festival with the Beta Sigma Phi sorority. Other projects included the fall show, The NIGHT OF JANUARY 16. The performance was held in Clinton’s courthouse, and two other new twists were added to the production: audience participation as the jury, and double casting of most of the parts. In December, Thespians hosted the Chicago based professional theatre group, Steppenwolf, for a performance called Shakespeare Sampler. Laura Martinek, Amy Schon, Karen Ipsen and other Thespians took part in taking two projects to the workshop directing and performing a production, TELL ME ANOTHER STORY, SING ME A SONG, as a showcase production. Thespian, Derek Taubert, was selected for the state production lighting crew. The year continued with the spring musical, ONCE UPON A MATTRESS, involving over seventy students., Thespians' last major project of the year was an evening of one-act, student-directed plays called Drama and Donuts. The Auto Mechanics club, which was newly formed last year, has been active in many things, such as working both girls and boys basketball concession stands, and donating money to a family who lost their home in a fire. With the money raised from activities, the club will give a scholarship. The club meets once a month; at these meetings they had guest speakers such as Mark Douglas, owner of Douglas Olds, Pontiac, GMC; plus Police Chief Mike Norrington; and former CHS students who went to tech schools. This year the Auto Mechanics Club published a newspaper called THE GEARHEAD GAZETTE. Also, once a month the club would have an open lab, where students could come in and work on their vehicles. The Clinton FFA Chapter, under the leadership of president John Shobe, had a busy year. The Chapter placed third in the state in the Program of Activities contest and was awarded a State Gold emblem award at the National Silver award winner in safety. Michael Moore was honored as the state winner in forestry management, and the first place plaque was received for Section 16 activities competition. Major activities of the FFA included a trip to Six Flags, FFA fair, car parking at the Apple and Pork Festival, the FFA com plot, hosting of the Section 16 parliamentary procedure contest, and the farm animal zoo. Brad Miller was elected Section 16 vice-president. A new activity added this year was the assembling of bicycles for Wal-Mart. Money earned was divided between the chapter and the members. The 1987-88 Guide Club was led by President, Chris Dodd. Tina Whalen was vice-president, and Aliena Dodd was secretary and Student Council representative. Renee Chrispen was treasurer. The Guides baked cookies to share with the senior citizens of the Friendship Center when they went for their annual visit on December 16. Seniors went back through the years and told how it was when they were in school. Projects for the year included getting acquainted with new students and showing parents to teachers’ rooms during conference times. 118 Organizations Above: Mark Tarbox plays Santa Claus.

The tenth annual JETS TEAM academic competi-tion was held at Richland Community College, Wednesday, February 17, 1988. In cooperation with Richland and various engineering groups, the Junior Engineering Technical Society (JETS) sponsored this competition with academic tests in the areas of mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology, English, engineering graphics, and computer fundamentals. For the second consecutive year Clinton’s JETS team received the first place trophy in the Class A division. Numerous individual honors were also received by the group. Bret Forsberg received a first place in engineering graphics and Ingrid Forsberg received a second place. Derek Taubert placed first in both computer fundamentals and chemistry. Scott Reeser placed second in computer fundamentals. Tony Moore and Randy Bell both received a first place in mathematics. Tony and Randy also received a first place in chemistry and a second place in physics, respectively. Brett Forsberg, Derek Taubert, Tony Moore, and Randy Bell will each receive a one year full tuition scholarship to Richland Community College as a result of placing first in an academic area. As a result of new rule changes this year, both first and second place winners advanced to the regional level of the JETS Competition, which was held at Eastern Illinois University on Saturday, March 5, 1988. The Clinton High School JETS team received the second place trophy in the competition. Last year Clinton placed first at both the regional and district level of competition and was awarded sixth place at the state finals. This year Clinton and Newton advanced to the state finals. They competed against fourteen other Class A schools who won first or second place at the other seven regionals across the state of Illinois. Derek Taubert received individual honors in both computer fundamentals and chemistry. Over 6500 students and 500 high schools in the state of Illinois from Class A and AA started on this journey to the state finals back in February. The Clinton High School JETS team placed ninth at the state Class A competition in the JETS TEAM tests at the University of Illinois on Wednesday, March 30, 1988.

Organizations 121 This year’s scholastic bowl team did not enjoy the success that the previous year’s team did, but that does not mean that they did not play some successful matches. During the regular Central Illinois Schlastic Bowl play, the team accrued a 3 and 5 record by winning the first two matches, losing the next 5 and winning the last meet of the season. When school opened, only six seniors were enrolled in yearbook class. They attended an ICP conference in late September, there they learned that Herflf Jones, Inc. was now affiliated with ICP. Most of the fall months were spent seeking financial backing for the yearbook through the selling of advertisements. Three weeks prior to Thanksgiving, yearbooks went on sale; 250 were sold. At the beginning of the second semester, Karri Schaumburg transferred into a second semester English class. She spent fourth hour everyday working on the sports section of the CLINTONIA. At this time, two additional students, Karyn Volker and Dave Innis entered the class. Members of the class spent quite some time discussing a theme and finally decided on “Leaving Our Mark.” Due to a combination of declining enrollment and increased cost, there was insufficient money to publish a yearbook of 180 pages, complete with color and school designed cover. To meet a reduced budget, we purchased a “standard” cover, reduced the book to 160 pages, and eliminated background color and graphics. Organizations and sports were written in sequential order rather than by assigning specific pages to each sport or organization. This was done to facilitate the reduction of pages. 1987-88 proved to be an eventful year for National Honor Society (NHS). New sponsors, Dee Neps and Doris Wunderlich, along with the officers and other members, began the year with the November 20 fall induction. Mayor Carl Troxel was the guest speaker, and Kay Kleemann-Tennill accompanied seniors Julie Murray and Sheila North for the special music. New inductees were seniors Dome Ellrick and Nicole Etherton. After the induction, the sponsors and all members dined at Barney’s in Bloomington. The next project for NHS members was a fundraiser. At spring induction ceremonies on April 15, Mr. James R. Adcock was the guest speaker. Jill Monroe was the accompanist, and the special music was presented by Paul Hartness and Ginny Tucker. The new inductees included Melissa Archey, Brandee Bruce, Brandi Callison, Lucy Martin, Bob Nannini, Angie Ijams, Janell Komeman, Tom Conaty, Derek Taubert, Phil Short, Betty Griffith, Jill Gordon, and Angie Cutright. After the ceremonies the members lunched at Chi Chi’s. Other NHS activities were a car wash held on May 7 and a progressive picnic in May.

Special events included one double round robin consisting of 14 rounds played in 7 matches, 1 Saturday Swiss consisting of 3 rounds, and 1 Saturday Invitational Swiss consisting of 4 rounds. Other schools involved with the Clinton Chess Club are Urbana, Uni High, Danville, Matoon, Georgetown-Ridge Farm, Rantoul, Bismark-Henning. Five members competed at the State Chess Team Tournament at Evergreen Park, Illinois, March 25-26. The Tournament record for the team was 2-3. Gavin Sronce, first board player for the team, did qualify for the State Individual Chess Tournament held at Rock Island. Dan Zwick nearly qualified. Gavin’s record at the Individual Tournament was 2-3. The Varsity Scholastic Bowl team had a frustrating year. The team members have struggled through all their matches and tournaments only to fail to match the record of last season. Many times this year the team came close to placing in final competition, only to lose by a few points. The senior members of the scholastic bowl teams will be missed next year. They are Tony Moore (4 years), Ratna Krishna (4 years), Rebecca Gawthorp (2 years), and Rachel Gawthorp (2 years). The new librarian, Shirley Fields, had organized a group of students who enjoyed working in a library atmosphere. Activities included decorating the library at Christmas, attending the public library to read books to children, and school reading programs where the students also worked with the children. The Library Club also sold stationery as a money making project. With those funds they plan to purchase a humidifier for the school library. This was the first year for the Clinton High School’s revived Pep Club. The club was 300 members strong and was a catalyst in boosting school spirit and morale. The club was involved in the Homecoming parade and the school pep assemblies. A special section was roped off for pep club members at football and basketball games where the students provided special incentive to the Maroons. The club members also helped the cheerleaders with posters which were put up around the school and signs used in special cheers. The D.O. Club of the 1987-88 School year was composed of students with many different backgrounds and varied interests. The students belong to a number of organizations and are involved in every extra-curricular activity at Clinton High School. This year the club had a Christmas party on December 16th. In May, the club had its fund raiser. The proceeds were used for two scholarships for graduating D.O. students. Top—Chess Club Officers: Tom Zwick. Gavin Sronce. and Dan Zwick.

This year they started with a cook-out at Weldon Springs. They held their annual Christmas Tea with everyone participating in Secret Santa. They also made Easter cards for the Hallsville Nursing Home residents and ended the year with a sundae and video party at Mrs. Allison’s house. Usually members schedule a shopping trip, but this year many members couldn’t attend, so the annual activity was cancelled. This year, the freshman student council representatives were elected in September. They included Suzanne Bowling, Andi Boyum, and Sara Olson. All the representatives, along with Mr. Bryant and Mrs. Jones, were responsible for the Homecoming activities. Sophomore members include: Leslie Martin, Dan Homback, Bill Homback and Jeff Hammer. Junior members include: Bonnie Dodd, Jill Gordon, Michelle House, Angie Cutright, Tammy Clark, Melissa Archey, Angie Ijams, and Tom Zwick. Senior members include: Ana Lucia Martinez, Angie Wolf, Julie Nothnagel, Tara Matheny, Ratna Krishna, Phil Short, Karria Schaumburg, and Lucy Martin. The Clinton Art Club participated in numerous activities thorughout the year. The Japanese Porcelean Exhibit was the highlight of a field trip in September. Allerton Park was the field trip planned for October. Window Displays were exhibited in Buck Appliances at Halloween. In November, the CHS library was the scene of the ON MY OWN TIME exhibit fall play and Illinois Arts Week. This display was at the DeWitt County Courthouse from November 14-22. Veronica Zwick placed first in the Robert Munds Logo Contest and, along with David Welch, received honorable mention at the Small Time Two Bits Contest at Western Illinois University. Forty-six art awards were won in art this year by 28 students competing in 10 contests. Seniors honored are Veronica Zwick, David Welch, Tony Rhodes, Tami Allen, David Levesque, Tara Matheny, Ana Lucia Martinez, Todd Brown, Sheryl Bateson, Kathy Wilkinson, Kim Berry, David Innis, Karen Ipsen, Dennis Eckles, and Mickie Whitney.

Along with the changes the different departments of C.C.H.S. experienced, the facilities of the high school also underwent a number of changes. Some alterations included the painting of all hall lockers, the installation of a new public address system in the gymnasium, the planting of trees and shrubs in front of the building, and the investigation of installing air conditioning. In the area of course curriculum, it will now be mandatory for the class of 1990 to accumulate a total of 44 credits rather than 42 credits to meet the appropriate graduation requirements. A second year of science and a semester of government will also be required in order for the class of 1992 to graduate with the proper graduation needs. Center left: Mr. Coon and Mrs. Glasson. Lower left: Secretary to the Principal. Mrs. Hoffman; Secretary to Guidance and to the Athletic Director. Ms. Wilkinson; Secretary to Assistant Principal. Mrs. Roesch. Faculty 135 Over the years, numerous changes have occurred within the academic departments of C.C.H.S. The biggest changes for the 1987-88 school year were probably noticed within the English Department. New literature books were issued to freshman level classes, while objective reading tests were administered in the spring to all English students with the exception of seniors. In addition to the creation of the reading objective tests, the English teachers were also busy composing writing objectives for the freshman, sophomore, and junior levels. A new face in the department was Mrs. Monts, who served as a speech and English teacher. The Physical Education Department participated in several changes for the year also. For the first time, students were given instruction in a special sports medicine clinic on how to recognize and treat athletic injuries. Also, a “walking for fitness” unit was introduced to P.E. students and seemed to be well received. The Special Services Department experienced its biggest change with the addition of a new librarian, Mrs. Fields, to the staff. She brought many changes concerning both conduct and use of the library facilities. Throughout the year, the counselors were also busy meeting with students concerning academic, vocational, and personal counseling. The guidance department recently began working with area counselors to provide new goals and objectives for the student body. After 32 years of teaching, Mr. Paul Harden retired and Miss Dorothy Rhodes took his place as an accounting, business math, and typing teacher. Besides the addition of a new teacher, 13 IBM System 2 Model 30 computers were added to the also new computer lab. Two courses, Business Communications and Information Processing, were introduced for the first time to the curriculum. The Fine Arts Department was joined by Dennis Streight. the new band director. He led the band in 3 concerts throughout the year, as well as the annual participation in the Illinois High School Music contest. The music classes also presented three concerts through the year. Mr. Bryant and his art classes participated in four art shows, while the Thespians performed a total of four times during the year. The Mathematics Department all woke up early during this school year, as a new “early bird” computer literacy class was offered from 7:30 to 8:25 AM in Mr. Munds’ room. The math teachers also spent a great deal of time working on the state learning objective tests which will be administered to the student body during the 1988-89 school term. The Social Studies Department adopted a new government test for the history classes to take and also added a gifted American History class. Two new classes were also started in the Industrial Arts field, under the direction of the new department head, Mr. Burger. The classes included computerated drafting, computerated machining, and robotics.-The teachers of the Science Department had another rewarding year, due to the increase of student enrollment in this area. 136 Faculty Faculty 137 Left to right, top to bottom: Aides Mrs. Case, Mrs. Lewis, and Mrs. Junkert, and faculty members Mrs. Fields, Mr. Prather, Mrs. Wunderlich, Mr. Urban, Mrs. Kratz, Mr. Schultz.

Many “behind-the-scenes” people contribute to well-fed students, a contented principal, a winning football team, an educational field trip, and good grades. These cooks, bus drivers, custodians, and maintenance personnel make the picture complete. Everyone enjoys warm food, a clean work place, and an occasional day of learning away from the school. Thanks; we couldn’t do without you. Richard Hunt with Time on his Hands. Tom Bundy heads down the hall with his Dirt Bike. Oh. great smells of cinnamon rolls again!

ITS TIME TO SAY GOODBYE The time has come to leave the place where friendships all were made Where all we had were tomorrow’s dreams and hopes that could never fade The laughter that used to fill the halls will now echo in our minds Reminding us all of the happiness we always knew that we could find The memories that we each have made will soon be fading fast All the smiles, even the heartaches will soon be in our past In life we’ve taken our chances we’ve been praised; we’ve felt defeat But there’s always been that feeling there’s not a goal we cannot meet We’ve made each other who we are through the happy time or the tears Together we’ve faced great challenges now goodbye is finally here We’ll begin a different world where then we’ll walk alone Success is what we’re searching for to make it on our own Time may be our obstacle to achieve, we have to try But to the Class of ‘88 the limit is the sky. Nicole Etherton May, 1988 160 Goodbyes
